Well That Didn't Work

I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
Well, as some (though not many) of you may know, the night Dennis broke up with me, I got the bad news that someone in my family was very ill. The fact that I've been writing so much about Dennis here is due, in large part, to the fact that I didn't have time to grieve that loss due to the promise of another.

Wednesday morning, I rushed back home, less than 24 hours after I'd returned to school from fall break. The week has been a nightmare. For starters, I missed a statistics quiz on Wednesday, a midterm on Thursday and I failed to do, let alone turn in, a paper for macroeconomics...my professor will be less than sympathetic. In addition, the family crisis has taken its toll on me. I haven't eaten more than a cookie and a few green beans since Monday night and I only managed to get those down because my mother forced to me to. Combined, I've gotten maybe 8 hours of sleep since then as well and only today did I finally take a shower and brush my teeth after neglecting to do so all week. I'm physically and emotionally exhausted and I'm sure that after I get back to school, it'll only get worse because I'll finally have to time to mourn the loss of Dennis from my life and I'll have a lot of work to make up.

Which brings me to where I am now: I am currently sitting in EWR (Newark International Airport) awaiting my flight to Dulles in D.C. that was scheduled to leave over an hour and a half ago. The weather is apparently not conducive to my plans, not that much ever is. The gate is slowly filling with the smell of fuel. Everyone is complaining about it. Oh...my...God; the gate receptionist just announced that the plane that was scheduled to leave this gate to head for Washington is currently on the ground in Providence, Rhode Island. Well, my week really couldn't get any worse. Great, we'll be leaving at 11:15, fabulous.
