Out of the frying pan into the fire

I currently hate everything and everybody.

First of all, my watch wristband broke. So now I have to get the damn thing fixed. I hate spending money, period.

Second, I just bout $200 worth of books - Nuclear Physics, molecular biology, Psychology. And I feel bad, although I'm going to use them a lot, because again, I hate using money for myself.

Third, this stupid postal strike is CRIPPLING ME. I HATE ROYAL MAIL!!!!! I hope they crash and get banned or something, so the stupid postal workers can get fired and go on the streets. It's a PUBLIC SERVICE, STOP STRIKING, DAMN IT. If this was States nobody would care because people'd just use FedEx or UPS, but nooo, this is the UK. So people just bear with it. In the US if the postal service was the only service available, they'd be crippled, and the entire country will fall down. ARGH. Now I won't get my books within the next week, it's doubtful my lab coat will be here on time, my bank stuff wouldn't be here for another week, and it's pissing me off.

Fourth, I've been averaging 3 hours of sleep a night, high on caffeine, and 6 to 10 hours of study per day, and this is making me CRANKY AS HELL. I've been averaging around 1000kcal a day, mostly sugar (yeah, I'm really a health nut).

Fifth, I hate my Mammalian biology professor. Can't he JUST GET TO THE POINT AND STOP GIVING OUT INDISCREET INFO, like HOW TO KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT GETTING TRACED? I KNOW THAT INJECTING K IONS WILL KILL YOU WITHOUT TRACES, I READ THAT IN HOUSE OF GOD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! STOP REPEATING YOURSELF 30 BILLION TIMES, I KNOW THAT THE pH OF THE FUCKING BLOOD IS 7.4 WITHOUT YOU SAYING IT 13 TIMES, I'M NOT A DUMBASS. AND STOP GIVING 6 HOUR LECTURES, I HAVE LIMITS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN 36 HOURS, ON THREE DOSES of 200mg CAFFEINE, ATE NOTHING BUT TWIX ALL DAY! AND STOP SAYING "FINAL WORD" THEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR 10 MINUTES! AND STOP TALKING ABOUT CAMELS, I'M NOT GOING TO BE A VET, I DON'T CARE IF ALL THE CAMELS DIE IN THE WORLD! GOD.

Sixth, THE GUYS WHO COME BACK TO THE FLOOR PISS-ASS DRUNK, STOP SCREAMING. I'm EITHER SLEEPING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 DAYS OR RIPPING MY HAIRS OUT DOING BIOLOGY. NEXT TIME I'LL RIP YOUR THROAT OUT, AND THEN YOU CAN SCREAM AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.

SEVENTH, STOP MAKING ME DO EVERYTHING (that's to the people over here, not you guys in the US). I'M ALREADY SWAMPED, I'M CRANKY, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME STUDYING NUCLEAR PHYSICS AND PSYCHOLOGY ALONG WITH THE COURSEWORK, HAVING 2 JOBS. DO THE SHIT THAT YOU CAN DO YOURSELF. I AIN'T YOUR MOMMY.

Argh. I'm SO PISSED OFF.
