Ow

I'm falling behind again.

So this week has essentially been a failure in terms of getting work accomplished. There are too many other things that were distracting me...good things, but distracting things nonetheless.

I have been able to divide my seminar paper up into about 5 topics. I plan on writing roughly four pages per each one, which is not an impossible task I believe. If I can knock one section out every day leading up to Thursday then I will be able to successfully complete this assignment.

My face is also pretty ridiculous looking right now. We had a get together here on Friday night and a party foul occurred which ended up with me being dropped face-first roughly 5 feet directly the ground in front of a crowd of people. Somehow I managed to kind of roll when I hit the ground and was able to get up within a second or two. Just as I was able to stand up, my nose began pouring out blood. Some of the people cleared away thinking I had broken my nose or some other part of my face, while others followed me up to my bathroom.

The steady stream of blood had formed a pool in my cupped hands by the time I got upstairs. Nearly 15 people crowded in and around my tiny bathroom as I applied pressure to my nose to try to stop the bleeding. After each of the wads of toilet paper became soaked with blood I would remove it from my face, only to have blood continue to pour from my nose like a running faucet. Eventually the bleeding stopped. I lost quite a bit of blood and was out of commission for the rest of the night. I now have deep scratches on either side of my nose and my right cheek is bruised and has a pattern of scratches going all the way across it. I have a bruise on my forearm and bicep and my neck still hurts from the impact. Within the last 12 hours I have also developed a black eye because of the blow to my nose. I look like a wreck. On the plus side, my nose is not broken, my cheek is not broken, AND I had a white shirt on when it happened and didn't get any blood on it.

The bad part is that I have to be teaching again this week. On Thursday I will be judged by my Graduate Assistant. I'm not looking forward to this.

Hopefully this week will start off decently and I can get some stuff done today.
