Why I haven't posted in almost a month

Yes, the date of my last post was October 5th. Yes, today is November 3rd.

The reason I haven't posted in almost a month is because I have gone through some pretty dramatic changes in my life.

When I first started this blog, I was here:
I was sitting easy at being enrolled in 12 hours but only attending 9 of them per week (because the last 3 are for a class that started mid-October because it is two 3-hour lectures a week).

So after that wonderful sugar-coated, restful, stress-free honeymoon phase of college was brutally destroyed, raped, and otherwise disfigured by midterms, papers, tests, reading, quizzes, and various other  forms of legal torture, I was left somewhere like this:

Even right now, I'm sitting in my bed running solely on 5 hours of sleep and a shot of DayQuil. Presumably, my super awesome study habits led to me getting an average of 4 hours of sleep every night for the last 3 weeks. There was even one night where I didn't sleep at all; I was up until 3am writing a paper (and let me tell you, I wrote the FUCK out of that paper. BEST. PAPER. EVER. I even submitted it to the Honors Journal to (hopefully) be published this spring) and THEN I got to do the rest of my homework, which consisted of reading roughly 1/4 of Dante's Inferno and some other stuff that I don't even remember doing because those 36 hours are a blur.

Also, I've been experiencing bouts of this (with more and more frequency as the school year continues):

And that's how college is slowly killing me.
