Strong Feelings

I have been having a lot of strong feelings the past few days, and not just about the Bush administration. Two of the past five days, I have felt full of rage --once toward the loan officer who told me I think I am more important than he is because I wanted him to return some papers to me and because when he didn't, I was persistent; and the second time toward a friend who totally crossed the boundary of what is appropriate, making me feel embarrassed and furious.

Normally these things would make me "mad" so that I would bitch about them to my husband, my wife, and my dad. But for some reason, it seems these feelings were amplified beyond what they normally would be.

Not sure if this is related to being knocked up, suppressed stress of studying for the bar exam, or that these particular situations were just particularly egregious. But they're over now. And I am calm again. And ready to spend the next 9 hours reviewing criminal law--a good refresher on why, even when I am very very angry, I should avoid any actions that would subject me to the criminal laws of Minnesota.
