sleepin' on the foldout
[note: the following illustration is shamelessly inspired by miss kayla, who gave a stunning audition for Children's Theatre 2005, where she re-enacted one of the most dramatic moments in television history]
i am jessie spano (sp?) from saved by the bell.
particularly in that fateful episode where jessie takes the caffeine pills and dances around to that horrible 80's song in her leg warmers and brightly colored spandex top.
though, when i put it that way, i guess i'm not at all like her as i 1) do not take caffeine pills (except for that one horrible, much regretted night last semester) and 2) i don't own any brightly colored spandex (anymore).
but i am suffering from some sort of anxiety disorder. or i think i am. or i might be. on friday, i had an "episode" after dinner and it was repeated (in milder forms) on saturday and this morning. we don't know why. but i think it's stress.
frankly, this should be the least stressful semester of my life. i am the least involved i've ever been. i have nothing going on right now except one acts and spring queen-ness (both of which are enjoyable to say the least). i had a wonderful easter break, spent with my even more wonderful boyfriend. i'm going to have a delighful summer. sometime in the not so distant future i'm going to pursue a career doing something i will love.
sounds delighful, right? it is. but i think graduation, though thrilling in so many senses, is also scary and a bit intimidating. and that, combined with a diet of only chicken and very little to no sleep, has manifested itself in dizzy episodes.
so monica is going to sleep more. and eat fruits and veggies. and take vitamins. and perhaps take up a sport (or NOT . . . but i do enjoy a visit to the gym now and then). and all will be well.
right? right. =)
in other news, delightful day of joel's birthday-ness yesterday. did you know that pittsburgh is home to a National Aviary (that's birds, not planes). you should go and experience the thrill of birds eating out of your hand and the always real possibility of bird droppings landing on your head at any moment.
exciting weekend ahead . . . joel's senior engineering presenation + half of ADEL formal + semi-annual dinner at bravo's + gala + several bridal showers + senior recital.
when i wake in the morning and my mom lets out a warning
and i think i'll never make it on time
by the time i grab my books and i give myself a look
i'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
cause we're saved by the bell
when the teacher pops a test, i know i'm in a mess
cause my dog ate all my homework last night
riding low in my chair, she won't know that i'm there
if i can hand it in tomorrow, it will be all right
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
it's all right (cause we're saved by the)
cause we're saved by the bell . . . . yeah!

i think it's great how they made it just so during the theme song to saved by the bell...that kelly's face always pops up right when they say, "it'll be alright."
it's comforting to know that will never change and kelly's sweet face will always make things "alright."
remember mon,
stress stinks - arrid works?
mos def not saying you smell, im just sayin'...keep it light and airy, and i love you tons.
mon, sorry to burst the bubble, but I can only associate kayla with jessie spano because she did that exact caffeine crisis bit for her ct monologue last year.
but, I'm sorry you're an anxious angie. I'm feeling the same way right now. not about the same things. but, I wish we could just sit on the floor and talk about it and make it better together.
if anyone can handle graduation and job hunting, it is you. it will all work out in the end.
yes, please make sure you eat lots and take care of yourself. however, I don't recommend eating the icing off of numerous pieces of cake. the sugar overload will only add to any anxiety and stress. trust me.
Monica, I know the feeling. I should be relatively laid back this semester too, but instead, I'm as edgy as I've ever been. I guess it's just the impending (not to mention huge) transitional phase that's staring us down. But I'm growing more conscious of the problem, so I think I'm starting to turn a corner. And now you are too -- so maybe you will too. =)
Ive never seen Saved by the Bell
