world's largest violin

I have post-exam confusion, which includes not knowing what to do with myself and worrying too much about everyone else's worries. Also, I miss my dad like crazy tonight: damn Biggest Loser episode with a proud father and his daughter, like, ruined me.

The good with the bad

Osama Bid Laden is dead, and people are acting like hateful, war-mongering fools...inviting retaliatory attacks.

Also: ABD!

Desire

I've given up starchy carbs and sugar for a while, and am only craving starchy carbs and sugar, which isn't a shock. Tomorrow I want to be able to post a Facebook status update that simply says: ABD.

Anxiety

I'm still nervous about my oral exam on Monday. When you're anxious about one thing, everything else seems to have the potential to be disastrous.

Obsession

I continue to be obsessed with following the progress and sometimes deaths of NYC shelter dogs. Also, I continue to be obsessed with not studying enough.

Countdown

One week to go before my oral qualifying exam, and I should be studying, but instead I'm hanging out with all the Ettman siblings, complaining about rampant cell phone use and discussing cuts of brisket. Oh well.
