Man, screw allergies. I woke up coughing so much this morning I wound up puking. Since then, I have been DRIPPING from my nose all day. When I'm not merely dripping, I'm sneezing in fits that never seem to end. That hurts my nose and my throat both. My throat is killing me, and my nose is so red, dry and sore from constant blowing I have been smothering it in moisturizer periodically.

And yes, I'm positive its not an illness and its just allergies.

I'm really going to miss California. Again.

Especially since I'm headed home to what I can only imagine to be a post-apocalyptic hellscape where the east coast once was.

This morning in Debtor/Creditor I was called on to recite a case. It went TERRIBLY. It was just awful. I couldn't answer his questions because I didn't understand what he was asking and it made me look both ill prepared and incompetent. I actually started to tear up a bit during all of it, which I know sounds really namby pamby, but I generally have a thick skin about legal stuff. This was just beyond terrible.
The only consolation which I feel bad for taking is that the other people who were called on to assist me didn't understand him either. One, a friend of a friend, was flat out told she was wrong and was basically scolded in class. My friend said the friend almost cried too. I guess the prof was just in some kind of mood today. It's not every day you make 3rd year law students cry.

I thought the job description for professors in grad school was to make students cry.

Today was a pretty horrible day, but I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. It's just a day, and it will pass, but it's tough at times. So it goes.

So I've been trying to get down to see my mom's husband before he dies of leukemia. I managed to get what I think is the last flight out of Canada. I call my mom to find out how her husband is doing and she tells me that he died yesterday. OK, frak, I feel horrible that I couldn't get down sooner but I can at least get down for the funeral and to support my mom, so I tell her about my plans.
She doesn't want me to come down... because I'll be underfoot.
Seriously, mom? All the rest of the family is coming in from all over the place but I'll be underfoot? I knew I was the black sheep of the family but when did I become the pariah?
I just don't understand my family anymore.

I just realized I've been posting here like crazy, and watching ass-loads of movies. I also haven't seen my family in a month (we didn't visit each other because it looked like the house was going to sell). I'm thinking there's some correlation. On the upside, I've also been exercising like crazy, so there's that. Usually goes like this: 1) pop in DVD 2) open Halforums, FB, and Google Reader 3) Do repetitive exercise while reading HF and watching movie.

Happy news for someone else is close to the worst thing for me to hear today. They have no idea why, it's a lot more complicated that they'd think, so I'll try and be polite and fake being happy for her.

To further on this: Damn, I am so full of bullshit. Opening to my email, "I can't tell you what it means to [hear] from you." Yeah... Of course I can't tell her how disappointed in her choice I am. I'd come across as a jealous asshole, and to be completely honest I'm not sure what my motivations are. So I just leave the implication that I'm too happy for words, which is what I want to be.

Conveying the exact opposite of what I'm feeling with a sentence that is technically true. Since High School people have been telling me I have a career in marketing. Maybe that's true.
