UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this has been a slow but crazy week. I started two new classes at school and I am already having a hard time with them. I am so not a writer and I am supposed to write a 500 word essay, 1-2 pages double spaced, organized into at least five clear paragraphs (introduction, body, and conclusion). It is for a critical thinking class and the topic is "Identify the various positive and negative influences that have shaped you. Which one of these influences has had the greatest effect on you?" My answer? I don't know. I have been so tired this week I can't "think" of what to write. Or every time I do and start writing my mind ends up going blank. Or I getting thinking about something else. Or I get frustrated because I don't know how to word things or arrange them to make sense. I have to have this turned in before noon tomorrow. I know it's only 500 words. It shouldn't be that hard but it is. And now I have a headache. I am also so distracted because I want to go somewhere fun over Memorial weekend. I do not want to spend another one sitting at home alone. And I SOOOO do not want to go camping. I had the idea of flying to Charleston, SC to visit a friend who is living there now with her husband. I haven't seen this person in a good 7 or 8 years. The problem is the Delta flight I want (because the flight times are make more sense for me) is more than I want to spend for the dates I want to go. There is the option of coming home a day later but that means I have to take two days off of work (I would leave Saturday and come home Wednesday morning). I just don't want to use up the few hours I have saved. I have the money in savings. I can't find anyone who would sell me some sky miles because I would need so many. I just keep battling in my head whether to spend the money or not. Because I keep thinking of what I really should use the money for. I really should just keep saving it. But I really want to go. Can you tell I am torn? Does any of this make sense? Ugh my head hurts. I give up.
