...the very act of flipping through its pages disgusts you to your core and you feel a need to drop it immediately for fear that it might infect you with some terrible disease.
You may have put your heart and soul into it, but the sheer fact that its length and discussion of its topic took you four complete days (and you're not even done with the entire assignment) is reason enough for it to be viewed as the enemy.
And Michal is slowly realizing that she has a problem: She likes perfection too much. You may all say, "Duh, we could have told you that," and Michal, of course, has always been aware of it to a certain extent. But this whole grad school-thing is really revealing new layers of this issue for her.
I expect myself to be perfect; to do everything exceptionally well the first time; to not get nervous about new and daunting challenges; and yes, to even have ADD medication work perfectly to make me focus perfectly without any adjustments.
This is so ridiculous! ...not to mention unnecessarily stressful!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?!?!
I'll get over it someday... I hope.
P.S. Relient K's new CD Five Score and Seven Years Ago comes out TOMORROW!! I'm super excited! And I'm seeing them in concert in a couple weeks! Whoo hoo! :D
