Just Tired

[amalthya]

Despite my efforts to the contrary, today has felt like a long day. I did a good job at the fundraising lunch and then wandered into French to discover that we were having a test


... Well, fuck.


I'll go home tonight after Swahili and sleep a lot. Do some chemistry, prepare for tomorrow's quiz in recitation.
Sure, I'm going through the motions. I feel so scattered right now, and I feel like I have all these LJ comments to respond to, and people to thank for their support, and socializing to do, and yet all I feel like doing is retreating into my apartment and watching The Great Muppet Caper. That is, had I remembered to go to the Shack and pick it up along with my mirror to drive it up to NY. Dammit.

I shouldn't be suffering this much, in that I shouldn't be reacting like this, but I know that I'm tired, and overwhelmed, and I'm trying so hard to fulfill friend-obligations and smiling and laughing and being happy for people when appropriate. But it's a struggle. I'm sure that sleeping will help.

Get some rest, honey. Take care of your obligations to yourself first. The rest of us very much enjoy your smiles but are capable of living without them for a couple of days if need be.

Don't worry about smiling on the outside, rest up and keep movin' along. Smile when you can, as it'll help get you through, but don't concern yourself with putting faces on.
