Nick will be here in 11 days!!!!!

He's just arrived in New York about noon Eastern time, I think. Will be touring Philly for a few days before he heads for the great cold North. Ah... we Northern girls know how to make the cold seem quite inconsequential. Nothing "untoward", of course... *ahem* I'll shut up now...

Analyze This

Psychologists give you that unnerving feeling that you are being analyzed every time they speak to you. Did I tell you how much I LOVED *gag* my psych class? It's sooooo much pressure, and a HUGE workload. It very much gives me the feeling like I'm drowning in that class. I got A's in my last Psych class, what gives?

So today, I have a question about the test. I had gotten something marked wrong, and she told us if we wanted to challenge something, to talk to her about it. So I explained where I was coming from when I wrote the answer, and what I meant, and my teacher says, "Is that what you meant when you wrote the answer, or are you just saying that now?"

So I asked her why she thought I'd lie about it. She said, "I didn't say you lied, you said I thought you were lying."

Right. I can almost see her mind working, trying to analyze me. And then the big question comes:

"Do you have alot going on? You seem stressed. I don't sense a positive energy from you. Is there anything we can do to eliminate the stress?"

Of course I was stressed, and for some stupid reason, that made me want to cry, so I just shrugged and said no. Yeah, right, eliminate stress - It's not like you can take a vacation from your life. :P

More analyzing... hehehhe... But, WHY do teachers do that? Pile a ton of homework on you, expect you to study for a million hours, on top of everything else you have to do, and then ask, "are you stressed?"

Just a bit. I didn't get any "positive energy" sent to me this week, but if I had, I'd have given it to my car.
