I am singularly incapable of focusing on anything today.

I am singularly incapable of focusing on anything today. Rats. I do not have time for this. I have to be super awesomely functional for another week and a half and then I can be normal functional for another week then I can ... when can I freaking collapse? Who wrote this schedule, anyway?

Excellent.

Excellent. We now have a problem that (superfluously) postulates "you and a stowaway are stranded on a lost planet". The stowaway is named Dr. Smith and he is complaining that he was given inferior equipment. ... Good grief. When do we get to the problem with Major Nelson and his telescope not working?

I suppose it would be wrong to drown my sorrows in a chocolate bunny.

I suppose it would be wrong to drown my sorrows in a chocolate bunny. Then again, not sure where to get a quality bunny at this point. Yes, it matters; just any old cheap bunny will not do.

How modern are the materials on this subject?

How modern are the materials on this subject? They are using the equivalent of a word problem in which Gilligan figures. Yes, the 3 hour tour 1970's Gilligan (I think it was the 70's?). Even more inspiring, these are the same people who have contributed the bulk of questions in this area for the actual test. Isn't it nice to know we're only 30 or so years out of date?

Just bit someone's head off with a look.

Just bit someone's head off with a look. Didn't mean to be mean, but random strangers saying, "That looks hard!" while casually observing the stupidest stupid ever to be tested, which is what I am studying, is irritating. Especially as what they were really doing is noticing something that looks like math with other weird stuff thrown in and trying to commiserate as a total stranger because Math is Hard. I wish this was something that followed slightly more logical rules; I wish it was more like straight-up math (I don't mean anything fanciful or crazy). I know, I know. If you don't want people, stay home, but if I did that, I'd just go to bed and stay there. For days.

Weird Austrian chocolate - Zaubernussen (there's an umlaut, I just don't know how to get it on the keyboard).

Weird Austrian chocolate - Zaubernussen (there's an umlaut, I just don't know how to get it on the keyboard). It's almond hazelnut brittle, but that translates to 'magic nuts'. I guess I'm missing a colloquialism? Other varieties of chocolate bar they make - Kirsch Blut. Kirsch, as in the really strong cherry flavored liquor, and blood, as in blood. I've had blood sausages and I've had blood soup, all of which I assumed were old ways of upping the nutrient content, as well as thickening, and using everything you had. That doesn't really hold up as a reason for putting blood in chocolate. No, just no.

Sun came out. In other news, still studying, still panicked, still in pain. In no particular order. Did manage to have proper breakfast, though.
