I left New York for 10 days to go to Russia, and then after 4 days back in New York, I left again for 4 days in Boston. I'm feeling the effects this week. It was all worth it but I just wish that school had a little more wiggle room for life stuff. Don't get me wrong, I do stuff and go places when I want. School is definitely not disabling. It just gets mad when you don't spend the weekend with it. And you end up having to coddle it and spend overtime with it when you return (plus deal with the guilt). School makes sure that weekends aren't really weekends, even when they're long.

On my list of things to do as soon as school stops breathing down my neck for the week (around 6:00 on Friday, until it resumes its position Saturday late morning-ish):

• upload pictures from Russia to the site
• upload pictures from long weekend in Boston to the site
• eat something from my kitchen and not from the caf at school or a delivery man
• watch Monday's Gossip Girl episode
• sleep for a really long time

Cue the mocking tiny violin hand gesture.
