gaaah technology!
i stayed up late to perfect my midterm for class. like you do when you have a lot of time to do projects, but life and other schoolwork get in the way and you get overwhelmed, then put things off intermittantly until the proverbial last minute.
i went to bed around 4am thinking that a large zip file i was FTPing to the school server would make it the second half on it's own. with 2.8 hours to go on the upload, i decided that i had waited the initial 2.3 hours already, and everything would work out.
but no. i woke up after a night filled with anxiety dreams and climbed down my ladder to find...that not only did the upload fail, but that it had failed with around a hour left to go.
boo technology, boo.
so how to you recover? try sending it again in the hopes that it'll be speedier this time (which is isn't. in fact it's slower!), and that it'll get "in" on time. i'mma head into the city in a couple just to see if i can beat the internet by uploading more direct to the server.
so to regain control of my feelings of doubt and chaos, i made the breakfast that oddly enough, i've made almost every day for the past week or so:
1. hot cup of yogi chai rooibus tea with honey.
2. salad of fresh butter lettuce, green beans, sliced red onions, and tunafish with a DIY vinaigrette involving olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and honey mustard.
3. a two-egg omelet with sauteed garlic, onions, and mushrooms with garam masala, cumin, and some ole bragg's for umami, all over a bed of steamed jasmine hom mali rice.
as i sit here and start on the salad, watching feverishly as the water of this digital trickling water boils, i can see that my day has been slightly, ever so slightly reclaimed.
