2 Days, 1 Panic, No Kidding
It didn't take long for my first panic episode of the semester to kick in...twice.
First is one of the projects in my ethics class. The one in question is to watch a season of one of a pre-selected series of programs and do a five-page paper on an ethical dilemma that the series presents. Some of the programs include Sex and the City, Boston Legal, The Sopranos, and Weeds.
But I also notice that Dexter and Nip/Tuck were on the list, and that means trouble because all of the series on the list will have at least one person reporting on them. My heart immediately leaped back to what happened when I watched The Town, which involved extracurricular activity in the toilet (aka vomiting), and I panicked immediately because I've never seen any of these series and have a real fear that I might have to keep a barf bag handy, among other things.
I e-mailed my concerns to the professor last night, explaining that I wanted to do this project but was between a rock and a hard place on expressing a preference. I hope she understands.
The other scare came in litigation class, when I found out that eventually I will have to make another trip to court -- this time to watch civil proceedings -- and eventually watch a movie that involves litigation. It's already well established that I don't handle trips to court very well, and whichever movie I draw is probably going to be R-rated, which hasn't boded well for me either.
Needless to say the seroquel that I'm on was only of minimal help last night, my worries were so bad. I couldn't focus for poo and now the odds are very real that I will be a class behind already by the time the weekend is over.
