So.
I /did/ save it, like I thought I did, but for some reason as soon as I open the file and start to read the paper, everything but the first page disappears. So realistically, I have to write the damned thing over again. And I have another paper to write, too. And the doctor wants me to go back on those damned pills that make me sick, but I absolutely refused until Christmas break, so that at least I can only ruin my /holidays/ instead of my GPA. And family money trouble is a lot tighter than I'd realized, which leaves me hoping even more that I can get that place so that I'm not such a burden on everyone. And I still keep thinking about things that are useless and painful to think about, and I don't know how to stop.
Why do I even bother? It's not like it matters. I'm going to graduate in Fall, even assuming that I manage to get through this program, and no one hires people in the winter in the schools. I can't even manage to get a G.A. filing papers. How freakin' incompetent do you have to be that people won't trust you to file papers and type little numbers in little lines for five hours a day, even /with/ a reference?
Damn it, damn it, damn it. This is not productive. For that matter, I'm not even sad as much as I am angry. And since I don't have any one else to take it out on, I'm beating myself up about things that really aren't under my control. I know this. Hell, I've got a degree in this. So I'll just shut up and rewrite my paper. At least I already know what I was saying, right?
