Night-time anxiety
May. 15th, 2006 11:09 pmI'm tired. And anxious. It's the sort of day, week, month where I don't want to go to bed. I get like this sometimes, and I don't really understand it. Like there's something I'm supposed to do that's more important than sleep. Or something I'm to avoid which I'll find if I sleep.
I might have that Internship I've been talking about. The one in Norfolk for six months? Maybe I haven't been talking about it. That's OK, because neither have they -- I finally got a call on Sunday where some guy asked me a bunch of questions he already knew the answers to, then said he needed to talk to another colleague of his. I think my dad knows the guy from somewhere. Either way, it looks promising but they're dragging their feet about giving me an answer.
I have my Thesis topic all chosen and stuff; some bit of research into encryption that they want me to do. Interesting looking stuff. Just need to sit down and write a proposal, figure out how I'm going to run my research in 9 months and produce some kind of a paper for them. I started working on it, got half way through, but I wish they were better about getting back to me when I had questions.
My teeth hurt. I had a lot of work done on them in the last month, so that makes sense. And my wisdom teeth are kind of coming in, and kind of not, so that's not helping anything. I just hope 'root canal' doesn't come up, or something worse.
I think I've been getting frustrated with myself. I don't like getting frustrated.
As a plus note, I started on Harry Potter 5, and so far I love it. Within the first two chapters, Rowling started fixing the biggest problem I had with her reality. on top of that, she has the attitude, mood swings, anger, apathy -- the very psychology of a 15-year old boy down wonderfully. When my brother read HP5 a few years ago, he complained that Harry was a real jerk, and I thought, "that's unfortunate." But no, this is the way 15-year old boys are. I read this book and think, that's my brother! I'm really impressed.
Still, Nifer, I have little hope for her redeeming Slytherine House. We'll see.
