The real world is an evil place and, I suspect, it might be out to kill me. Too much to do, not enough time to do it, and my focus is all over the place.

So, dear flist, if I seem to have completely forgotten about you, you may rest assured that I have not. Lack of updates and comments and... well, pretty much all online activity, is due to the simple fact that I'm drowning in course work. Evil, evil coursework. You can consider this a blanket apology for unanswered emails, comment threads left hanging and anything else that I might have been doing but have seemingly dropped. I haven't, okay? I'll be back in a bit.

And, in other news, affogato is the best way to drink coffee. Ever. I may have over-indulged. But I'll forgive myself, because one needs comfort food at times like this.

How am I supposed to pass Compétences Grammaticales? The revision class is the Wednesday I leave for Florence, and the actual exam is the morning after I get back. I'm going to have to push the exam. But then I'll be studying for it while trying to keep up with the million other things and and and I am not good under pressure. I'm just not. Or organizing, for that matter. I suck at everything! Everything is terrible and horrible and bad! *melodramatic flop to the ground*

... Okay, no. I'm going to Florence, Italy with my insane family. I have nothing to complain about. Except for the part that, since I knew the trip was coming, I could have maybe lifted a finger or two to actually prepare for it, instead of freaking out a few days before. Why does that always happen?

Yeah, ok. No need to answer that.
