it's 4:25am and i can't sleep. i wish my husband would stop working these late hours already. i hate going to bed alone.

i got a 92 on my latest linear algebra exam and... shameless brag... blew the rest of the class out of the water. but i still need to focus on the final next week.

i ended up having to change my interview date for nyctf to this sunday because i was really sick the week of my original date and decided against hacking up a lung all over the interviewers. i can only hope this doesn't backfire and make a negative impression.

i'm sick again though, i just hope it doesn't get worse. my lack of sleep certainly won't help though.

speaking of my interview, i still have yet to come up with a handout. i'm struggling because i don't want to include too much information, but i want the group to be able to answer my questions. i'm allowed to assume prior knowledge on their part, but i know no one remembers their HS trig values. so i somehow need to include exercises relevant to my lesson plan, plus enough background info so that the lesson can be interactive.

silly me didn't realize when i chose the date to reschedule, that i have two finals the next day, one at 8am, the other at 6pm. and one of them is in mutivariate calc, which i am failing. he will base my course grade solely on my final grade if i do well, but that means i have to learn the entire semester, plus study for my other exam, plus finish preparing for my interview, plus have a research paper written by friday.

i'm seriously insane for not sleeping. i think i might actually start on that paper now and beg my mother to come over at 10am so i can rest. i really owe her, she has definitely come in clutch. she took off the whole week to help me with the kids since the big one has off from school and she seriously couldn't have been around at a more needed time.
