SERIOUSLY?!?

Starting Monday morning this has been one of the worst weeks I've had in awhile. As if the 3 tests in 2 days, 1 oral French exam and 6 page paper on a 170 page book that I read in a night wasn't enough-- my disgusting cold has come back. NOT OK!!

This is so typical of midterms for me, yet ALL of my midterms are NEXT week! These 2 weeks are awful, jam-packed with work and no time to rest. The worst part of being sick this week was that while I needed sleep in order to function and get all my work done, I COULDN'T FALL ASLEEP because I was sick and stressed and every time I laid down in bed all I could think about was how much work I had to do. So Monday night I went to bed around midnight and didn't fall asleep til 3, even after taking nyquil. Tuesday night I went to bed around 11:30 and didn't fall asleep til 4, even with nyquil. You get the idea. While I had such good intentions to get like 8-9 hours of sleep a night, I ended up with around 4-5, which Susie's body does NOT handle well. Wednesday I finally was able to get 7 hours, and last night I got around 9. I seriously need to just lay around and sleep for like 5 days but that's not gonna happen as I have 2 midterms and 2 papers and 1 article due next week.

ANYWAY. Enough complaining... MEXICO is in 10 DAYS!!! Everyone I've been talking to lately has been warning me about the abducting situation going on there currently, but the coastal areas are still supposedly ok and most of the trouble is in northern Mexico (or so I've heard)... I'm not too worried since we don't plan on leaving the resort. I cannot WAIT for some sunshine and a beach... and of course Mandi's and my BIRTHDAYS!!!

So here's to a good weekend of sleep, rest and getting ahead on my work... for once ; )
