Handed in all my work that i could, picked up one new assignment and forgot to get the metal, according to in class calculations but so did the instructor and whatev, i'll deal.

wrote one exam which went well, and another which I thought I'd studied for and I dunno, passed but seriously, more studying in her exams I suppose is in order. Arghy.

Was handing in a half-finished brass rod and someone else's had even less work than mine so i think it gave many folks a hassle.

Then zipped home because I was not in any mood to be there ALL DAY, and came home and slept. I'm slowly shifting the clock forward, and if i nap on some portion of the flight I should wake up brains unscrambled in Hong Kong.

We leave very soon, off to the airport for a 130 am flight.

I do hope to get at least 10k written on the book, and maybe a working outline started for a second book.

Ran into the crazy corporate nutter and explained how much stress I was under and she was "OH!" yeah. Now you get it. And she felt that the instructor's "no advance, no extension" was a bit punitive since i've been after them since term start to arrange things and emailing and working my hind end off. So I should talk to the department chair? I'll talk to her but i really don't want to start shit barely a 1/4 into the year of a 2 yr program.

But I also want a fair chance to complete the work, and I really wasn't given that in any capacity. I get this this isn't "SURGERY" or "FAMILY CRISIS" but still, give a little get a little.I'm Ok with what I've accomplished on a week's less worth of time. True, I should have stayed later and done some weekends, but I was already on red-alert stress levels.

We're on Cathay Pacific business class, which I'm totally stoked for. I'm not entirely concerned over language barriers as we're to some degree being ushered around like the cosseted pets we are, and after Israel ( english is NOT as common as you'd have thought) and the great euro mayhem, we'll be fine. It'll be fine.

We're packed and I'm bringing a dress I want made a copy of in a larger size, and a pair of pants or two I want replicated, but I'm kind of flummoxed over how light I've packed but then its not a three month trek and its not a conference. I don't know what to do!! :D

And as much as I hate destroying a friendship, which seems to be the thing this year, getting some toxic folk out of my orbit is a good move. If they can't be supportive when I'm stressed, and turn my words against me or lash out when they're not the center of attention on demand, well, what good is that? That's not friendship. That's bullshit. (oddly so many of his friends are doing the same and he just doesn't GET it, never dealt with someone so grindingly oblivious.)

Happy with the novel progress, wrote some messy tasty awesome stuff, and closing in that middle gap. It does mean some massive story shift with what's there but I think it's what it always needed.

Onwards. I don't know what sort of internets access we'll have and I kind of think I'm not your kindly content provider on demand all the time so if I don't post for the next 14 days, play nice, and do good things and I'll see y'all on the other side of the adventure.
