Hysterical

I've been feeling very upset today, just little things will set me off - well, in my head. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've been going to bed at 7:30 am every night since Sunday. I'll finally get a decent night's sleep tonight.
This morning I managed to get to class on time thanks to Christi, however I was so tired that my brain couldn't process anything, and my speech was kind of slurred. I think the teacher noticed that and probably the slack jawed stare I had on my face and asked me when I went to bed and told me to get some sleep.
I had hoped that I would get a chance to take a nap today, but it took me three hours to do one drawing. I think on a completely energized day, I could get that done in an hour, but the processing time today for my brain (yes, I'm thinking of my brain almost like a computer now) was extremely slow. At least the review went well and the teachers said that I had a very strong project that just needs simplification. That means things can only get easier.
But yes, easily upset today. Easily alarmed, strong mix of emotions that include the need to cry, the need to rage at everything and everyone, etc. I do believe it's hysteria. Maybe I really need to sleep. But I also really want to hang out with Ben...O the dilemma.
O and my sister said in her blog that she has a hard lump on the underside of her jaw. That made me really upset for a few minutes...I really hope it's just an infected lymph node...

You know, the world "hysteria" comes from the greek word for uterus. It was believed that the syptoms associated with neuroticism and overly emotive expression was the cause of a "wandering utterus" and that it needed to be drawn back to it's original place. The uterous, of course, wondered because it needed some penis and was desperatly looking for it. Isn't Freud great? Although Hippocratees (sp?) seemed to have thought of it first.

I think your sister should be alright. If little Mae (may?) doesn't smoke there is only an extremly small chance of anything more grave.
