Yesterday, Birdie would. not. stop. crying. I think she's teething. Cold washcloths, pacifiers, and being carried around constantly were all only semi-effective. In the light of this morning, I feel much more sympathy for her, but yesterday, much of my sympathy was directed at yours truly.
Yesterday, Rupert ripped open two trash bags and strewed their contents across the entire apartment.
Yesterday, I got started on a crying jag around 2 PM that didn't stop until I fell asleep. No joke. I was even sniffling as I said goodbye to Birdie's mom and met with Rupert's future dog-walker.
Today, my alarms (two of them) didn't go off and so I am up an hour later for studying (MY LAST DAY OF STUDYING BEFORE MY GRE HOLY SHIT HOW DID THIS HAPPEN) than I had planned to be.
Today, my studying will be interrupted to go buy an alarm clock. Preferably one of those big honkin' black ones with red digital numbers that has an obnoxiously loud alarm. Missing my test because I didn't wake up is NOT in my plans for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, my test (that will determine my entire future...no, I am not the slightest bit dramatic or fatalistic or prone to blowing things wayyyy out of proportion) is at 8:30 AM. This is during rush hour, which means all the trains will be running wonky, and cabs will be impossible. I will most likely be leaving two hours early and showing up at the center by 7 AM.
Sooo....can this week be over now? Please?

Sending happy thoughts your way. You WILL pass the test!
Some day this might actually be funny? Maybe?
Good luck on your GRE. You'll kick the test's butt, for sure.
just remember how you spent the night before your SATs...and that turned out okay.
Thanks, Allison! I'm ready to kick some butt.
Noelle, the potential for humor is there. I'll reevaluate tomorrow, post-test.
Anon, I freaking love your not-so-anonymous self and I miss you and I will NOT be repeating said pre-SAT activities but thank you for putting a huge smile on my face :-)
