Einstein quote and a brief bit of rambling

"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X+Y+Z, where X is work, Y is play, and Z is keep your mouth shut."

-- Albert Einstein

That sounds about right to me.

Today was the first day of classes. My only class on Monday/Wed/Fri is ceramics. So far so good.

Tomorrow I have three psychology classes. I wanted to be more prepared than I am now, but my life got in the way a bit.

I've told you about Sproing, right? How he ain't exactly normal? He got bent out of shape about something this evening and screamed for two hours. Again. This has happened at least twice a week for almost a month. Maybe longer, maybe not, it's hard to tell. The two hour screaming jags seem to last for five hours. I don't know what to do with/for him. When he's angry, he hates me. He has said some very ugly things to me recently. Then he'll get control of himself and apologize. Tonight I accept his apology, but I don't feel very good about him. I'm alternately worried/concerned about whatever is wrong with him, and ticked off that he's behaving like such a monumental ass.

I don't know anything else right now. I want to be glad I'm back in school. I think maybe I am. But tonight I'm wrung out and sleepy. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Perhaps I'll write more in a day or two. I hope to.

washing your face with hot water is always a good tonic for stress; and sleep is just as good.
I hope your next day is better; school goes well.

Two hour screaming jag? I'd snap.

Ceramics is good.

Sproing is very lucky he has you to vent to. Yes, somethings seems to be 'up' with him. Must be really difficult for you.
Hang in there and get thinking about your school work.
Lots of sleep too!

I can’t imagine how frustrating Sproing’s bad behavior is for you and Superman. Unfortunately, I don’t have any advice on how to handle the situation.

Good luck with school. Ceramics should be a lot of fun. You probably need a creative outlet.

I hope school goes well. I think it will give you some peace, and something to concentrate on.
