I could rather use a few hugs right now. There's three weeks left in the semester and I have 4 programs that need to be written (one in assembly, 2 in C++ using OpenGL to implement 3d->2d transformations and ray tracing's basic alogrithms -- as in... the one's OpenGL's supposed to do for you, and one thats basically a virtual circuit design language/machine language), a paper worth 35% of my grade where I have to design a mission to another planet (I've choosen Mars, the mission looking at Martian ground ice) and two papers due in my english course. The mars paper is due wednesday, as is the assembly program. The graphics program is due tuesday, as is a revision of one of my english papers. Each of those programs could easily take 12 -24 hours of straight productive work to complete. I have no idea where I'm going to find that time... short of skipping all my classes monday and working straight through sunday and sunday night (even then...). I'm so stressed out its not even funny. I've been working on all this stuff pretty much every free moment I have for the past week, but I still haven't even made a dent. And I've only got like 3 or 4 days left on some of them.
Add to this the fact that I got hit by a huge burst of loneliness and homesickness tonight (probably due to the stress) and yeah... I could really use a hug Posts: 3295 | Registered: Jun 2004

((((Alcon)))) Ouch. That sucks, dude. When I have all my deadlines come together like that, I remind myself that in a week (or whatever) it will all be over, and, for better or worse, the stress will be lifted. :-\ Of course, when it gets really insane like that (which it will for me soon) I also leave Hatrack until it's all over.

(((((Icarus))))) Ok, I will. (((((Daniel))))) I'm going through something very similar right now... so I totally relate. It sucks. It really does. I'm sorry.

((((Alcon)))). I definately can relate at least somewhat to the evil nature of the end of semester workload. Posts: 2827 | Registered: Jul 2005

I was just thinking about this thread the other day. I didn't bump it, because at the end it seemed like I was the only one bumping it, and so I figured if everyone else was tired of it, I would let it stay buried.

((((rivka)))) And I bet the thread missed you too. ((((Libbie)))) Welcome to the hug thread. ((((Icarus)))) Axiom: You can't get permanently tired of the hug thread. ((((Raia)))) Thanks again for bumping this.

(((Hatrack))) I'd ask for hugs on behalf of a friend of a friend who recently passed away, but nobody should hug a toad, they'll get warts. Not to mention burned.

I'll confess, I'm not all that big on hugs. But I could use some friendly pats or side hugs. I'm missing home and feeling like my friends have forgotten about me.

It's stupid, but today is my boyfriend's birthday (Started about an hour ago) and it's a big deal he's getting all of these presents from mutual friends who didn't even bother to call when I turned 21 this summer. And it's really making me realize how much all of my friends here are really his friends, and how alone I really am here.
So I'm going to be putting on a happy face all day, because I want him to have a great birthday; but if I could have a couple of hugs to get me through the day, it would be great.
It is 1:23 in the morning. I am already resigned to pulling an all-nighter, because I still have a paper and a French poem to write before 9:00 am tomorrow. But I have spent the past five or six hours comforting friends of mine who have severely needed it... and I'm completely drained. My room has had one person after another, and of course, I'm really glad to have helped them, but it's been a really emotionally heavy day, and I don't know how much more I can handle. Especially since I got four and a half hours of sleep (or less) last night, and I'm not getting any at all tonight.

(((((Kara))))) We summer birthdays tend to get forgotten about. Everybody's busy with whatever work they're doing and forgetting about the school year. Sometimes they forget about more than that. If you need a friendly ear for a rant you know where to find me though. ((((Raia))))) Still with the amazing person. But still ditto what Rivka said. (((Rivka))) (((Icarus)))
I'm glad this thread showed up right now. I needed it to.
I could use a few hugs. It's that time of the semester again... Dying under piles of work, only this time add swim practice for two and a half hours a day which leaves me completely exhausted. Ugh... two weeks left.

My workday ended twenty minutes ago, but I have at least an hour's worth of work I need to do before I can leave, and it's not even anything useful to getting me caught up, like grading or lesson-planning. Posts: 13680 | Registered: Mar 2002

(((((Kara))))) Thanks. I hope you feel a bit better now.
(((((Ic))))) You're sweet. It's what anyone would do for them, though! Thanks.
(((((rivka))))) If you'd seen the way they looked or heard how they sounded on the phone, I don't think you would have had the heart to turn them down... especially my two friends who NEVER cry, ever -- even when A's previous girlfriend broke up with him, and he was torn up inside, he had to force himself to look upset so people wouldn't look suspicious. But both were sobbing. B for an hour and a half without stopping. (P.S. I'm not calling them A and B to put them in order of priority or anything, those are actually the letters that start their names.)
(((((Alcon))))) *blush* I'm not amazing... like I said, anyone would have tried to help. But thanks. And I hope you feel better and a little less stressed... I know what crunch time can be like!

Not to be a hug-addict, but I could use a few more... I'm just so tired of people who think they know what's best for me, who think they know me better than I know myself... who make assumptions and pass judgment on me automatically just because my close friends on campus are guys...
I think I have a lot fewer good friends than I thought I did. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003
