Amber's Mfecane*
| | Today was ugly... I got everything I could done today, I just have the English essay which I need to have in by 5pm tomorrow, then the Mexican American history midterm next tuesday and the paper for Film History tuesday too. Yeah, the worst is over, but wer're not over. I feel totally washed up drained and all in all like a member of the living dead. I've started pulling out my eyebrow hairs (and to a lesser extent eyelashes) again, which is not good. So, after a long day at school which ended with a miserable walk home from campus in the mucky cold, I am dead. I then had to spend half an hour convincing my mother that everything was fine (she called last night, and I admitted the levels of stress I was under), she spent the whole day worrying about me, and put the entirity of the family prayer circle on to my cause. I managed to do really good at convincing her that I was okay (she couldn't see my haggard frame). After that, I started crying again. I tried to call Frank, but no answer. So, as a last resort I went over to Sterlings, because even though he's pretty awful at comforting (me), someone is better than no one. I got there, and through the window I spied Irene. I decided fuck that noise, I didn't want to interrupt their nice evening with my stupid drama because I can't get ahold of Frank and as such have no one. That, and I am finally going to have to go on record as not liking Irene. I've been officially withholding judgement on Irene, because since she's important to Sterling she should be someone I should get along with, but no, truths out. If I liked her, I would have liked her immediately, I don't hate her or anything, I just don't like her (I'm sure she has all of these wonderful qualities which caused Sterling to fall in love with her, but meh, what can one do?). Yeah, so I cried (relatively silently outside Sterlings apartment for like half an hour... it was not cool. I was however able to get ahold of Frank, and that helped a lot. So yeah, I think I will be able to get through tomorrow, and that is all I can hope for right now. Goodnight all.
*the Mfecane="the crushing" when the Zulu war machine expanded through east south Africa from 1822-1828 causing a mass spread of nguni peoples (spawing reactionary warmachines and defensive cultures). The Mfecane literally opened up a lot of empty land in what later became Natal
