After getting a major paper cut on one finger and stabbing one of my thumbs with an extremely sharp X-acto knife, I need to take a break from working on my portfolio. OW!!! The last thing I need is blood all over it.

After the big push I had trying to finish the damned portfolio on time and not making it, the last couple of days have been a big let down. Part of the problem is not having the money I need to buy stuff for this thing. I need to get this done ASAP so that I don't put it off until the weekend before I'm due to present again. I also am having trouble getting my printer to print purple. It's weird. I'll have to run up to school tomorrow and see if any of my teachers know what's going on.

It was a beautiful day today. It was in the 60s. Too bad it is supposed to snow again tomorrow. Booooooo!

I hope they catch the fucker that has been burning dogs on the West side of town. They should duct tape his legs together and set him on fire.

I can hardly wait until next week. I'm finally getting to take my web classes. WhooHoo!!!!

Well, since I can't type worth crap with band-aids on my fingers, I'm going to bed.

Current mood: tired
Well, I didn't give my presentation today. What's stupid is some people presented with less than I had ready. I really didn't think the school president was pleased with what he saw. Definitely not one of the better portfolio presentations that the school has seen. I get an "F" until I present my stuff. I now have until April 27th to do that. Certainly my financial situation will improve by then. At least I'm halfway done. I am soooo tired. Even though I went to bed at 1 a.m., by 4 I was wide awake. I wish I could call in to work and try to get some sleep. This insomnia of mine is getting ridiculous.

Current mood: gloomy
Portfolio presentations are tomorrow. I give up. I'm not going to make it.

Current mood: stressed
ARGH, it's Friday the Thirteenth!

T-3 and counting. Only three days to get my portfolio done. I'm taking a tiny little break at the moment. I might make it. We'll know for sure on Monday morning.

They were testing a low-carb crust at work the other day. I refused to eat it. Everyone else that tasted it said they might as well have eaten cardboard. Am I the only one totally sick of this low-carb crap? I mean, I know too much of anything is bad and reducing the amount of processed carbohydrates that one eats is probably a good thing, but doesn't low-carb mean you're supposed to eat meat/protein? It can't be healthy to eat all of this fake stuff to make you think you're eating the stuff you like. It reminds me of the low-fat craze a few years ago. Now people have health problems because they didn't eat enough fat.

I need to go fix my pants for work. Wednesday really sucked. Not only was it relatively slow, I couldn't find someone's house and it was snowing, but I fell on somebody's driveway and ripped my pants. I can't afford to get new ones since I only made $19 that night and still have junk to get for my portfolio.

OK, break is over. Back to work.

Current mood: awake, but tired
My good old insomnia is back. Oh, boy! I guess that's what stress and financial worries will do to you. That and those darned chocolate-covered espresso beans Nina got me. I've been eating them the last few days. I guess I shouldn't eat them anymore. I have another possible side effect other than the sleep loss. My nipples are killing me and since there is no possible way I am pregnant and, unless I'm hitting menopause early, caffeine could be the culprit. It's either that or the hormonal change from being off my BC pills. I need to get my annual exam done after I get my tax refund so I can get back on those.
