Time to make some decisions

1) I need to talk to my upstairs neighbor. She wakes me up 4 weekdays out of 5 with her clomping around even when I sleep with my earplugs in. The general consensus is that taping a note (even an extremely nice note) to her door could majorly backfire and that I'm nice enough to people's faces that she might take pity on me and not put on her goddamn shoes until she's ready to exit the apartment (as opposed to right when she wakes up and a full hour before she leaves for work). The only thing is, I'm really not a confrontational person and would almost prefer to ignore this whole situation until one of us moves. But, Hardwood floors + hard wooden heels = me being tired all day. I don't think I can wait until May to have this resolved.
2) I will do everything in my power to avoid Donna in the future. Apparently, it's only through Donna's own manipulation that everything in our department has to go through her. Most of the things I would normally ask her for can be gotten without even having to talk to her. Good to know. I can't even look at her yet, I'm still so mad.
I don't feel like I've accomplished anything this week. I have 5 weeks until prelims. I may have to reschedule them. :(
On a happier note, I have plans for tomorrow morning. A group of my classmates and I are going down to the Historical Society to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. There's a breakfast and everything. I love breakfast. It should be an informative Saturday. It might even motivate to get going on my next booklist.
