FINITE!
Another long day...
My brain is mush. I'm on my last string. My teammates are turning out to be more like children than adults. I have to constantly babysit them and communicate to them to give them updates on what is happening with the presentation.
Today, the only time I ate was at 6:30 AM. At 2:00 PM, I was able to eat again. I didn't have a lunch. Not even a snack. I was so busy with trying to organize the group project that I had no desire of eating. Of course, my body and brain were telling me to eat, yet it was as if I couldn't. I'd rather finish my work than eat.
Around 11:30 AM, two out of three group members joined me on finishing the PowerPoint (Garret - the PowerPoint maker - had sent it in the morning but informed us that the conclusion was unfinished). It took us almost an hour to finish the PowerPoint and discuss about which slides are devoted to whom. I thought I was late to NUTR. Thankfully, I wasn't.
At 2:00 PM, I arrived at a local sushi restaurant. My folks and I often visit it during dinner hours or to celebrate. Everyone there knows us. I walked in, said Hello to everybody, before asking if I could sit at the bar. The sushi bar guy, Alex, greeted me happily. I told everyone that I hadn't eaten until 6:00 AM and that I was ready to grub! One lady brought me miso soup and told me it was on the house. Then she brought me tea, a glass of water, and Alex gave me a small bowl of Edamame beans. I was very thankful for their generosity.
I was the only customer from 2:00-3:00. Alex and I chatted while watching the World Cup.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BRAZIL!
After a late lunch, I went to therapy.
My sleeping habits have also gone out the window. Last night, I was paranoid that Garret wouldn't send the finished PowerPoint until today. Like I wrote earlier, that fear came true...While trying to sleep, I would shoot awake and check my phone to see if Garret sent an email with the attached PowerPoint. I did this from 10-11:30 PM. By midnight, I fell asleep. At 5:00 AM, I shot awake, checked my phone in a panic, then realized it wasn't 6:00 AM. I would fall back asleep and SHOOT AWAKE again, checking my phone for the email, but seeing it was 5:30 AM. I fell back asleep again until six.
The presentation is tomorrow. We're the last group to present. Guess who's worried?
Me.

A cygnet peers out from its mother's wing at a local pond in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. According to Your Shot member John Halvorson, the adult swans arrived in February, during an unusually bad winter. "I followed them daily through the mating cycle and the nest building," he says. "When we had a brutal series of ice storms and there was little for them to eat I took them cracked corn. I became a trusted friend, so when the chicks hatched I was allowed to sit close by and photograph the adults and the newly hatched chicks. I stop by frequently to check on them. Of six eggs, four hatched, and today only two survive. They are beautiful birds."
