Off to Surgery

I've been pretty busy working on my final essays for school, which are due tomorrow. It's 1:41 in the morning and I have to be at the hospital at 7 to get my ACL repaired. I was planning on working all night, but I think these papers are about as good as they're gonna get. I can't eat anything more until after the surgery, and I don't think I can go to sleep since I've been staying up until 6 pretty regularly for the past few weeks, and I don't want to oversleep. So maybe a nap, I don't know...

I don't have much to say right now, hopefully I'll have some down time soon to catch up on some older stories, and also have something new to talk about as I sit later today in a communal hospital room with people speaking languages I don't understand. Honestly, I've been pretty relaxed today, considering all of the deadlines coming up. I think in a weird way the stress of the paper deadlines and the anxiety of the surgery have cancelled each other out, each one keeping me from dwelling too hard on the other. I'm all moved into my new studio apartment on the ground floor and have a bunch of frozen pizzas and cans of soup to last a week or so, and my friend Fahim will drive me home from the hospital tomorrow.

So, cheers to my last night of having one ACL.
