The weekend...

Oh my goodness I am tired!!

I was up ueber late doing project work for my contemporary literature class....but it paid off! The presentation went very well!! I'm so glad. Plus the topic is so cool, and I'm really excited to write my paper for it. My roomie and I got into a really philosophical discussion regarding it last night and I have so many ideas for the paper! MY BRAIN IS A-BUZZ!

It is AWFUL on campus today. It was last night too. The kind of weather that you don't want to leave your room for anything weather.

This week will be fun--tomorrow is Relay for Life!! I'm pretty darn excited. Pizza and movie and philanthropy....

So Zach and I did end up going home Saturday, and though it was a short visit, it was fun. I was able to drop off one application, and though the others couldn't be filled because I was short a reference, I was contacted by the people I used to babysit for last night and she gave me the go-ahead!! I called them while they were on a cruise!! Lucky ducks...Anyway, it was lovely seeing my parents and getting a delicious meal in, and seeing my brother. Ethan has "viral pinkeye" and it is NASTY. He has cold-like symptoms and instead of his eyes being guey and crusted they are just blood-shot. Kinda creepy, really. But yes. We watched the movie "Rainman," which was wonderful, and then Sunday morning my mom made me and Zach an awesome breakfast. Loved it!!

I ran yesterday, to my delight. I got three miles in and I currently feel great. I did finally, FINALLY cave today and got myself a Mocha though. However, I looked up the calories on the Starbucks website and learned it wasn't as bad as I thought, just not great. Oh well!! I have to splurge every now and again, and for not having a Mocha for 2+ years, I think I'm doing okay.

Dizzyness.

I need a better title. I'm going to change it from "Tuesday!!!! to....Dizzyness.

There we go. I ended up having a double shot of espresso from the Starbucks here on campus. Good strong kick, but I'm dizzy now. I should eat something more. Yum. Granola bar. Thank you roomie!!

Today has been okay. I woke up late today!! Yet again I need a good alarm clock. Hooray for Christmas coming up...::adds to list::.

So yesterday was soooo....incredibly...hardcore hellish. Like...I went straight from work to the library to watch a film for my movie class (it was a depressing foreign film, GO FIGURE), and then worked on studying and homework for another hour after that. I eventually had dinner (around 8.30 >_< ) and was able to relax and watch "Enchanted" with Zach. But...UGH. I was gone from my room a full 12 hours. Yikes...!

Today is also quite insane. Classes through eleven, a bit of down time for lunch and such, now I'm at work again, picked up the keys for Todd Wehr room 104, I'm going to go work out after this, I have to shower and get ready after that, then go to a meeting at 6.30...and who knows how long that will go! Afterwards I may get to relax a bit, then I meet in Todd Wehr 104 with an FYS group, and THEN I work from 10pm-1am. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

::sigh::. ::mega sigh::. Yea. It's okay though, all I have to look forward to is my afternoon tomorrow. Class was cancelled! So joy! I get to go home hours earlier than I previously thought.

Alright. Gotta bite the bullet and keep on going. I'll write a quick note tomorrow, but just in case I don't--Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuesday

OH cramps. Pain. Yup.

That's that. All I want to do today is curl up with a hot water bottle and sleep. And Zach to be around. As I'm sure I've said before, Tuesdays really suck because I'm busy all day and so is Zach and we really don't get to see each other :(. I know, I know, being a silly girl. I'll hush up.

So there is a lot of news about Pirates today. Like, modern pirates. TOTALLY not as cool as yesteryear's pirates. They were so cool...well kinda. They were sorta mean. Anyhow, here's the article:

Weird! Will this be the new terror alert? Will Bush or Obama have to release a statement against pirates? Sorry I find it a little funny.

What else? I'm in my room right now, and Amanda's been watching soap operas for a bit. Well, not watching, but has it on. I guess it's okay background noise as we mill about the room.

I've been trying to search for a cozy hot water bottle online...no cigar. Except the Steiff bears, but that company is ridiculously expensive (still love it though!). I might have to make a cute cover over break!!! That'd be way fun. But not free...

I have to make myself run today. Have to. I need to do it now before dinner, House, and all of my other things I have this evening (we have a surprise from the seniors? and I have work among other things). It's gonna be a squeeze though, and it's also going to be suck-tacular. SO COLD outside. Right now I'm wearing my running stuff at work so I kind of get into a mind-set of running. I have long underwear on. Sheesh!! Walking over here I realized that I'm going to want another pair of socks, even ones that go up higher than my ankles. Gotta make it before dark!!

Which means I need to get out of here earlier. I'll have to do some more work in my room later--I have lots more of my "congratulations" letters to cut and assemble!!

Ah well, I best be off. I have lots of things to do!!!
