Most Stressful Day in Australia

First: I will rant for just a few moments on the Australia library "system." EVERY book anyone would want or need is either in 1. the stupid Fryer section which requires you to store your backpack in a locker and wash your hand before thinking of even touching the books AND you cannot remove them from the room or 2. declared a "high use" book, meaning you cannot be in possession of more than two at a time for more than two hours at a time and they may not be checked out over night UNLESS you check them out right before close and bring them back at open AND even then you cannot check out more than two.

Second: I had an AWFUL Art History paper due today that for some reason I decided not to start until the day before and it was a minimum of 2500 works. Sooo my new habit of procrastination ALMOST killed me. Pretty much a 24 hour straight session of buried in library books (I cheated the system by taking the books and hiding them) and writing is finally over. AND my paper actually turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Aside from my minor breakdown and 24 hour depression in consequence from my work load I went and ran 6 miles today and tomorrow I do 10. The true test, if my knee is actually healed or not, will be tomorrow.

Nothing much else at the moment. I have an appointment with the student flight services on campus tomorrow to look into New Zealand prices and where exactly we would want to go.

Night!
