Stricken, Stressed, Stirred and (Dis)Sturbed

Being a grad student has some amazing perks. The free pens, the always brilliant excuse for stuffing up or contaminating something, and ofcourse the friendships and general bonding experiences that you have with any other student (or even a random sympathiser!). Most of the time being a phd student is great, love it, never want it to end. There are a few occassions, however, that tend to make the student life particularly hard. The one I'm experiencing right now is that day when all my bills and society/student memberships fees are due. I got paid yesterday and have already spent a very large portion of that money on my bloody bills. What makes it worse is that I haven't finished paying the bills, etc and I already don't have enough money to pay for my next two weeks of rent. Being a student sucks big time!

On top of all of that: birthdays! WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY BORN IN LATE FEB, EARLY MARCH!!! I hate you all...I love you but I hate you all!

I'll leave you on that...time to find a corner and rock backwards and forwards in the dark, clutching my bills!
