AAAAAAGH! SHIT SHIT SHIT!

not enough time for ANYTHING.

I need to stop judging the progress of my life based on other peoples' progress.

So what if my grades aren't as good as other people's? They're still pretty darn good!
So what if I'm not actually published yet and it looks like my senior thesis won't be publishable? Very few undergraduates ever publish and I have tons of research experience
So what if I'm not as good a writer as other people? I'm still a good writer
So what if I am not brave enough to major in creative writing, go into grad school for creative writing, be a writer for a living? I know I cannot live without science and without writing, so whatever I do and go and become I'm going to write anyway. It'll take longer and be harder if I don't spend all my time concentrating on it, but it's a balance... of a sort
So what if I don't have a boyfriend? I've got plenty of people who care about me and I've never been closer than I am to many of them.
So what if I don't devote every hour of the day to physics? Everyone says that everyone needs me time (okay, okay, I could spend a LITTLE less time procrastinating... but I'm sworn off webcomics for a month. and succeeding at that. so yay!)
So what if I'm "conforming" and trying to lose weight? It WILL help me become more healthy, and it's not a bad thing to conform, plus it's not as if I were trying to get down to that creepy skinny weakness of most girls I pass on the bus
So what if I find someone who dropped out of school courageous? It was, for them, and I never make choices like that mid semester
So what if... um... wait that's it.

fine. There.

Judge myself by myself. Hell, look at me and Quantum Homework this week! I figured out problem 3 virtually by myself (a few hints from Sam, Saffman), and problem 2, AND problem 1!

Yeah, you can make it. Dammit. Everyone feels lost in Grad School just like you, so don't freak out. You are learning (at least somewhat!) no matter what your grades and other people say.

wow, encouragement from the inner voice for once.

I like your inner voice a lot more when it's being encouraging. Also, for once I agree with what it says. You are fantastic.

Hooray for your enthusiasm! Sorry if I am one who is dragging you down. I am to you the mean older sibling I never had. And I wish I wasn't, but I am trying to change.

Stories I'm currently working on.

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited)

***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel)

***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage)

***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit)

***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series)

***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly)

***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys)

***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting)

***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang)

***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!)
