I feel a little pathetic. Not because I just spent my Friday night at the library, but because I was worried that the undergrads I saw on campus would think that I had no life. As soon as it hit me just how silly that was, I was better able to focus on what needed to get done. I also realized that if I had no life this would not have been necessary in the first place. I would have had more of this work done in advance, rather than just having a miserable weekend ahead of me. I figure that I've got about 10% done, and I can power through plenty tomorrow now that I've printed out a ton of research. As with all assignments, I know it'll get done so I'm not really stressed about it. I'm just not looking forward to the process.

Also, it's really beginning to piss me off how tense people here are. Did they never learn to relax? I mean, I'd always heard that the west coast was more laid-back, but this is ridiculous. I think I've become even more laid-back in retaliation for having to listen to all of this bullshit and drama. Seriously folks, they're just papers, it's just a job, it's just a commute, chill... There are certain friends where I have to constantly remind myself why I like them because their fretting gets on my nerves so badly. How do people live like that?
