...so my grammar will be fantastic, but no one could really check the science. Which is okay, because I had someone else check the science, and I'm going to have a couple of professors check it again before it's due next week, and as long as the grammar is fine then I will be able to edit the content as I get constructive feedback on it.
Mary and Shane both used black pens, but Phillip actually used a red pen to mark it. He's going to make a really good teacher, he just LOOKS teacherly sitting there grading papers.
Spirit went well tonight. I met the Pope... and I stole the ring right off his hand. And with all the modifiers I loaded onto that roll, I got a +9 to the action... which is BETTER THAN LEGENDARY. So not only did I get the ring, but nobody noticed I had it, and I strolled casually out of Vatican City with it. Now I'm going to send a note to the Modernists (which is Hemingway, Joyce, and two other authors we haven't encountered yet, and they steal things) and use the ring as a signet to seal it and say "GUESS WHAT I STOLE, SUCKERS!" :D If they won't let me in their stupid club because I don't write fiction, I will take my scientific academic papers and my awesome thief skills and just be amazing by myself.
Now I am going to bed, so I can wake up early in the morning and register for classes.
So anyway I broke down crying saying I didn't want to go crazy again because I think I'm going to lose my mind when I don't have my friends around to support me any more. And Lisa told me that I'm very strong and that I've been through a lot of bad stuff since I've gotten better and I'm still okay, because I know how to deal with things, and I will be fine as long as I make an effort to foster a healthy living environment for myself.
And also she said I'm really good at rationalizing my feelings. Most of the time when people say you're rationalizing it's a negative thing, but it's okay in psychotherapy.
But she also says that she thinks people should feel the things they feel without repressing them. And god knows I don't repress anything I feel, I talk about every fucking emotion that crosses my heart. Even if I only talk about it under friendslock here on LJ, I do talk about it. And I feel them. I can't STOP feeling them. I kind of wish I could stop feeling them because then I would be a little bit less sad. It would be nice to be less sad.
But honestly, I'm fine. Now that I have my thesis done, everything else will be fine. I can write a paper or two this week so I don't have to do everything over Thanksgiving break. I will get people to start planning next semester's big SAGA event tonight. I will get my homework done. Everything will be fine.
