Seventeenth night

Today wasn't great.  I woke up early to have a cup of coffee with B's mom before she left and never went back to bed.  I worked on my math sets, which I think due to my exhaustion, took me a really long time.  By the time I was finally finished, I talked with a friend for nearly and hour and a half.  After that, I did a short work out, showered and had lunch.  Then I tried to work again, but I just couldn't focus on the Standard Deviation set I was working on.  I switched to a different topic, but only made it halfway through before I met a friend for coffee.  By the time I left, I was in a foul mood.  I was mad that B was still away on on vacation while I'm just working and studying and having no fun.  I was mad that I didn't feel like I was making progress.  I was mad that I still had 8 more compete days, sunrise to sunset, before this was all over.  I was mad that I had to change some plans around, and ask for different days off at work, of which I'm not getting much of because of this stupid exam.  I was just mad mad mad.

I felt a bit better after meeting my friend.  We speak in Spanish together (she's from Spain), and after speaking with her I often feel badly because I feel like I've forgotten so much.  Fortunately today wasn't so much the case, so I left feeling confident and also happy I got out of the house and saw a friend.  I was (re)energized enough that when I got back I was able to finish the math set I had started before I left.

But I still finished the day without accomplishing most of the goals I had set out for the day.  That's a bummer.  I'm way behind on my essays.  Maybe tomorrow I can catch up.  But I'm still not feeling hopeful about much.  Especially as my neighbor turns his music up louder and I can envision a sleepless night ahead of me.
