Stressed backwards is desserts

This week has been quite extreme.

I woke up today and actually wondered to myself how I will physically handle these next couple weeks. I feel like I never sleep well or feel like I still haven't slept for days after I wake. My body weight has been madly fluctuating, which I know is not good.

Senator Levin visited our facility today, and we've been spending the last few days prepping for the tour and what not. Everything worked out well, but as usual, it was incredibly hectic. I find that I've lately had more interaction with some of the other exec's that I don't usually talk to, including Dean. He wandered over to me when everyone was sort of waiting for the Senator to ask how things were going and what not.

Manvinder is here this week, so it's been a little bit weird being around him. I don't know why, but it really really bothers me that he's sitting at Claude's old desk. I keep looking over at his reflection in the window the way Claude would check to see if I'm late (hehehe). And completely by accident, I came around the corner talking loudly to Kristi (we always talk over walls and talk to each other as we walk around) about a meeting I had with JVA, and I said, "Well that was a waste of my time!" Oops.

I had an accounting exam at the end of last week that I got back this week. I flipped out because my recorded exam grade on Blackboard was not very good, but then I received an email from my professor saying that I accidentally skipped a page and she would let me finish it before she recorded my final grade. On the downside, I don't think that one page makes a big enough difference to bring my grade up to what is ideal, but it definitely made me feel better that I hadn't actually done so bad.

Last year, part of what helped me keep less stressed through school was all my dorky hobbies, which I've picked back up.I consolidated my aquariums (you thought I was going to say something about loans or money when I said the word "consolidated" didn't you? haha). It's still in the process, but I haven't been making enough time to maintain all three. So I thought my baby guppies should be big enough to join the rest of the fish, but a few minutes later, I found half a body floating around without a head. Ewww. If you're going to eat each other, at least finish each other off so I don't see any leftovers.

I also have gotten back into scrapbooking, and naturally, I have also gotten back into my habit of spending a ridiculous amount of money on scrapbook embellishments. Even though embellishments are usually no more than $3 or $4 unless you get something real fancy, I always think about what I need/don't have while I scrapbook and make frequent trips to scrapbook stores to buy paper and stickers or what not.

To come in the next week-ish:
