Mood: something between , , and . I'm slowly - but surely - loosing any motivation to even finish this thrice damned semester. Why, Force, why was I ever so stupid to pick English and American studies when I obviously lack the abilities for the subject?
Listening: Red Army Choir - Katyusha
Reading: stuff for the exams. Please, Force, don't let me fail the exams again
Drinking: water
Eating: nothing ATM - but would like to have a chocolate milk-pudding
Writing: apart from this I should be writing my music essay - 'tis going to be a really long night...

Mood: Relief, finally found the time and patience to figure out what was wrong with my old computer - Both the power supply and hard drive with the operating system on it died. So thankful I don't have to find a new motherboard, now installing XP on one of my other hard drives. Hopefully my 700gb one is still fine.
Listening: Nine Inch Nails
Reading: Forums?
Eating: Cream donut in a minute.
Games to be played in a few seconds: A little of ME1 (my insanity run through, eep) and then probably back to ME2.
Should be doing: A gift, a commission, and two portfolio sketches. Should also reset so I can see if my scanner actually works with Vista, but the games, they call to me

Mood: Meh. They are predicting between 30 to 50 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. Yay for mr myn who is stuck out working in it. People in DC panic at the mere thought of snow - by Sunday we should be in full zombie apocalypse mode.

Writing: Cold Fusion code. Or trying to.
Watching: Not really paying attention
Thinking about: Playing XBox.

There was a time back then I felt exactly the same. I took laws because I lacked any ideas, not that I thought I was good at it. The first two years were TERRIBLE. But then when I made my internships, some people told me they believed in me. And it worked. It's difficult but have faith! I think it's something many people going through in college.
Mood: Hit the bottom but keep hanging on
Reading: lots of decisions of the federal court
Writing: my article for our law review. And I'm stuck ...
Thinking about: "a man chooses, a slave obeys"
Painting: swords for my 2D character - after 11 pm I can't write anymore
Should be doing: buying a gift for my best friend, writing more enthusiastically but fail to do that

Mood: AMAZING! First super bowl win ever for the Saints. Saints football is like a lifestyle here. It's a cultural thing and seeing them win was probably one of the top moments ever.
Listening: The Who Dat song

Eating: my stomach is twisted in a way which safely prevents me from eating
Drinking: would kill for a cup of nice, hot and strong coffee

Looking forward: the "date" with one of my classmates

Mood: Aha! and Grr...
I bought a hard drive back in December, got it in January... Only it was for a laptop. Asked for a refund and sent it back via courier, waited... Waited... Emailed them asking about it and they said it 'hadn't arrived yet'. Thought this odd and waited a little more. Tonight was writing a reply to say that courier should arrive in a day or two, not more than two weeks when I suddenly thought of the tracking number. Looked it up, and apparently it was delivered on the 26th, meaning they've been feeding me (can't think of non-swear word to describe it ) saying that they didn't have it. Just sent them an email saying that the tracking says it delivered. Wish they would just hurry up and give me my damned money back.
Listening: fan going, I hate summer.
Drinking: Think I'll go have some water.
Doing: Spent all day finally getting some poor old pictures finished, just scanned them in. 1am, sleep time~

Mood: sour. Probably get kicked out of the university pretty soon. Hm, why do I have to have clever parents -meaning that I have noone from whom I would inherit my stupidity?
Listening: Shakira - Whenever Whenever
Reading: notes for philosophy. Huh, no idea why we are supposed to have one semester of this c*ap. Ithe subject is just eating away our precious times which can be spent for something definitely much more useful
Drinking: nothing ATM but wish for some more coffee
Writing: currently only this "reply". Finished my Dragon Age: Origins fanfic several days ago and put it on FanFiction.net - although it's just a stress reliever, I'm pretty damn proud that I was even able to write something again
Playing: wish for moar timeh fo da Dragon Age
Wishing: for some way to prevent my kicking out of the university

Neferit, I don't know you so I'm not saying this based on anything, but it might be worth it to look into various learning disorders, if you haven't already. There are lots and they can be quite subtle. I know several people with learning disabilities, and they're all very smart but had to make adjustments to the way they study to make it work. Also, sometimes one's way of studying simply just isn't compatible with their individual learning style. There are many possible reasons for studying problems, and plain stupidity really isn't the likeliest one.
Mood: Procrastinatey... It's -20°C (-4°F) outside and windy, so it feels like -30... and I gotta go grocery shopping.
Listening: Grrr... the sound of a person eating something really crunchy almost makes me want to slap the offender. (I know it's ridiculous, but I can't help it! )
Drinking: Where did all my coffee go already?
Playing: with my hair. Nervously. Gotta clean this place and get groceries before my guest arrives in 4 hours or so, and I'm not even dressed yet... guess I better get started on it!

Drinking: coffee, coffee and much more coffee
Writing: Yes, coming up with history for places I've created.
