I Give Up Already!

I am feeling woefully underprepared for my World Englishes exam tonight. I am sick and tired (literally, sinus infection and 4 hrs sleep). I just completely stopped even trying to study last night and went to bed because there was nothing getting through to my brain. Part of my test tonight is on phonetics (gross) and phonetic symbols (grosser). Our professor told us she wasn't going to get into phonetics too heavily, so it will be interesting to see what her equivalent of 'too heavy' is. I'm just not looking forward to it at all. In my angst to start school off with a bang, I think I may have just taken on more than I am able to handle with these two classes. I am completely drained, wiped out, shot, done for, kaput! And how fabulous it is that in tandem with not having exercised in over a month, I'm also now smoking again. Thankfully, I'm still losing weight on the diet portion of things (although with my schedule, I'm eating much fewer calories than the diet even allows). Not the healthy way to go about things at all, oh well, right now I say what the hell ever.

I am SO beyond ready for AZ next week. If only it were going to be more than just 5 measly days. I guess it's better than nothing, which may very well be what I get on my test tonight.
