Phobias anyone?

procrastination strikes again, this time in the form of me finding a list of phobias, including the most ironic of them all.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedalophobia

That happens to be the fear of long words...

*shakes head* There has got to be some mean-ass psychotherapist somewhere with a penchant for irony who laughs a little more each time someone is diagnosed with that, those poor people, they probably couldn't even manage to tell someone what it is they have, due to their irrational fear of long words. Personally, I could never imagine having a phobia of words, since I write all the time. I do think, however, that I definitely have a little bit of claustrophobia, some pyrophobia that goes with that, since I'm deathly afraid of being locked in a small space while the rest of the building goes up in flames and I can't get out. I used to have horrid nightmares about it too, not so much now, but when I was little I used to have them all the time.

Phobias are completely treatable though, as my psych prof is so proud of saying. All you have to do is face them...

Happy Friday the thirteenth this week though, I have an exam...*cringes* Hopefully it'll go well. *crosses fingers*...*knock on wood*

I suppose now I'll have to find a list of superstitions for Friday's entry...that'll be fun.

Intro post!

I thought I would start this with a good old-fashioned whine...*laughs*

I have three, count 'em, three exams this week!!!! It's Tuesday, the first one is tomorrow night, I'm going to die between now and Friday if I don't some how figure out how to time manage between now and then...*sighs*

Also, there is no hot water in my apartment today...and so I bothered one of the girls upstairs (a friend, I assure you) to borrow her shower. I doubt that even if we put in a work order with my don that anything would get done, there just isn't enough time left in the school year to even worry about it...ah well, I suppose I can borrow her shower until like, next Friday when she goes back to Owen Sound and I have to stay for another week-ish to finish up my exams...ah well, guess I'll just have to suffer through cold showers! Yay for me...*laughs*

Other than that, there really isn't much to say, I should be studying, but I'm not, I could be cleaning my room, but I'm not, I would be outside in the sunshine, but I'm not. I'm being lazy today apparently, and procrastinating with the best of them.

Anywhoodle, I'm off to try and study...or talk to someone on Skype who is having a lonely day and needs some companionship. *hugs to all the lonely people out there*
