My internal monologue at 12:30am this morning:
"Ugh, it's hot in here. I should just turn on the AC. But then I'd have to get up and shut all my windows, and that would take too long. Maybe I'll just move the fan closer to me. Now it's blowing in my face, and making wind tunnel noises in my ear. I know -- oscillate! That'll do the trick..."
"I can't wait until it's October. I'm going back to Dairyland in October! I can't wait to see my best friend. I have engagement pictures to take that weekend. What will I wear? Will my sweaters be too bulky? Will I have lost some weight by then? I hope my hair looks ok. Maybe I can convince my aunt to style it for me. Why do I care so much about these pictures?? I hope I don't smile with a big double-chin. I hope it's warm enough outside. I hope it's not too warm outside."
"SHUT OFF, BRAIN!"
"Oh, well. Guess I can continue to plan wedding stuff. I wonder what kind of save-the-date cards I'll get? I can't believe I'm overthinking crap like this...I'm turning into an actual bride! Ugh! Well, I'll be sure they're cool looking, and unique...none of this cookie-cutter crap. I hope my hair keeps growing. What am I saying, of course it'll keep growing."
"It's still freaking hot in here. Should I get up and turn on the AC? It's too late -- I should be sleeping by now!! Maybe I should take some calcium/magnesium. Or maybe some ibuprofen, that's closer. I need to get boxes. I really need to pack some more. I need smaller boxes for my books. When can I get to the moving company to pick some up? Stupid company, only open 8-5 M-F -- I have to WORK 8-5 M-F!"
"Maybe I should start thinking about grad school...no, that's scary. How would I get in? Who would write my letters of recommendation? Do my teachers remember me? The GRE is scary! What do I want to do with my life?!?! Oh good lord, I need to stop right now."
"That's it. If I'm not asleep in 5 minutes, I'm turning on the air. This is ridiculous...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Analyze THAT, you psychotherapists out there!
