10.20.98

Midterm looming. Spent an hour or so studying for it this morning in the library. Passed 1/2 hour in the same spot sleeping. Been told that I don't have to perform exceptionally well, but can use it as a guide to see how well I'm learning. Graduate school, see. I say that doesn't apply to me because I'm not yet one of them: I promised I would perform so that I would be admitted.

Important appointment/phone call/interview with a professor. It didn't go well. I was at work and was interrupted twice during the call. Lost my train of thought. Wasn't assertive enough. Will send out thank you note tonight.

Work is in shambles. I didn't get trained well enough and now I'm on my own, working independently. No one around at 8pm tonight to ask for help. I have to leave notes on files, on documents, on the desk, hoping they'll all be answered by tomorrow afternoon.

Running on some kind of stressed energy. Not sleeping at night, keep waking up at two-hour intervals thinking I overslept. I don't feel tired. Hard to find time to eat.

Dave arrives Thursday afternoon. I have to make arrangements for us to leave town.
