i am being utterly crucified in the realm we call "real life." it's not fun and so i am eagerly awaiting the brief respite of thanksgiving, though i will sit there in guilt because for 12 hours, i will not be doing any work. fate is nice enough to put the culmination of everything i do at the end of the year, and i will be killing myself with 8 deadlines i have due the first week of december, and 3 weeks of studying and finals to the end of that month. and then of course there is xmas shopping and the other crap that the holidays entail of and that i usually accomplish the two days i usually get between my last final and xmas.
but the work - work work and homework and studying for finals - isn't as off-putting as dealing with awful people. i tried to put together a nice holiday evening out at a swank restaurant for some people, but the person who was helping me wanted to invite another group of people too, so i said whatever, you take the reins, and so he invited the other group and this one lady in my group is as livid as hell about it for some crazy reason only known to her, and she cursed me out yesterday and went around telling everyone how ridiculous i am for changing the plans on everyone and how she's not going anymore. it's insane. so i said good riddance, but she's really ticked and is talking mad shit about me behind my back like i actually did something to slight her. jesus. i'm always nice but i'm not "going above and beyond" anymore because the status quo is probably that for a reason. it's tried and true and has proven effective in avoiding confrontation with lunatics who should be bound with straitjackets and tossed to ravenous lions.
and now this elderly pervert i loathe is going as well as a dried-up old cougar i can't stand who spends her days yakking to no end about the ugly men in her life and counting calories and looks and smells like a prostitute. i don't want to deal with this. it's too much stress and i probably should be studying anyway instead of wiling my time and money away.
in saudi arabia, a gang rape victim was sentenced to 90 lashes with a whip. i can't believe countries exist that are that backwards.
