Day 131

Done with my first exams! YAYAY! Bio Anth was a real toughie, but Kyle, awesome that he is, quizzed me before it started, so I feel all right. The last question was easy...

Which of the following is NOT a part of the super-phylum A.....?
A) primates
B) tree shrews
C) flying squirrels
D) bats
E) dinosaurs

lol...

Well, there was a miscalculation. The Yule Ball is tomorrow night, instead of Sunday... So I tried on the three dresses I was considering a while ago. The silver dress I wore to prom still fits (it stretches, that's probably the reason >.<), but I don't like how it looks, the red dress looks nice, and the brown one, that I've spent hours making the jewelry for, doesn't fit at all. Sad face. But the red one IS more festive, and I can just grab some plain jewelry that I already have.

Gonna pamper myself tomorrow, gonna get a manicure. My nails are really long (which I can't stand, I usually clip them as short as they go so I can type easier) so I might as well get a French or American manicure so they look nice for the ball. I love saying that I'm going to a ball... I feel like a princess ^_^

Speaking of princess, Disney's new princess movie comes out TODAY!!! I'm so excited to go see it! I'm an unofficial Disney princess, just so you know. I'm that awesome. Just waiting for my magical adventure to come along.

Day 130

Goodness, I've gotten pretty bad about not updating daily, haven't I? Oh well. Not like anyone reads this anyway. Made some zucchini bread to take over to Lechner after a while. Smells nice, but I don't feel like eating any. Went to the second open lab, and froze my face off waiting for the bus to get home.

OHOHOHOHOH! I forgot! Something awesome happened yesterday! I decided I wanted chipotle for lunch, so I ordered it online. And in the extra comment section, I said 'draw a ninja on the bag :D'. But when I got there, the cashier said he wasn't good at drawing ninjas, so he gave me a free drink instead. WIN.

My living room is so drafty. I've got a fleece sweatshirt on, and I'm still shivery. Blargle.

Day 129

Grr arg. Went to an open lab today. Other than that, nothing much happened.

Day 128

Ahhhhh... Classes are over, thank goodness. I've still got a long way to go before I can go home, but a week from right now I will be home, with a real fire in the fireplace, Sophie in my lap and good food in mah belleh.
Haven't seen the sun... since Friday? I think that's it. But yeah. It's so foggy today, I mentioned on my facebook status that I was expecting Jack the Ripper for tea. I thought it was rather clever.

Working on making my jewelry for the Yule ball on Sunday. My dress is brown, but I think for a nice contrast I'll use blue. I have a cameo I can make into a hairclip, and I still need to make the bracelet and earrings, but I know what I want to do, and I know how I'm gonna do it.

So cold. Gonna wrap up in a blankie and watch TV.

Day 127

Hmm... The days of this blag may be numbered. Kai wants to get a four-bedroom house. We'd have more roomies, namely Scott and Katie. I don't know about it though. I've gotten attached to this place. And at any rate, whenever we go out, it's always KaiScottKatie and Kai's sister.

The dementors are breeding. I've been feeling gray and cold and sad and tired and blah for the past two days. Probably won't change tomorrow. It's strange. It's close to the holidays, which are my favorite time of year, and the weather's all cloudy and cold, which I love, but... I dunno. There's this little ball of cold inside me that won't go away, no matter how many blankets I have around me. I just feel drained. I know this isn't right. I can tell because I don't feel like listening to music. I always listen to music, when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm angry, whatever. But I don't want to listen to anything. Nothing happy, nothing at all. I should eat something. I haven't had dinner yet. But I don't feel like eating. I don't feel like doing anything. It's so much effort to move. I've just been sitting here since I got home. I haven't done much.

Day 126

Yeah yeah, I know, I didn't update on Friday or yesterday. But I'm caught up now, so bleh.

I wish it was colder right now. Then it'd be snowing.

Day 125

Blargle. I don't wanna update today.

Day 124

So fun! IT SNOWED TODAY!!! Wasn't all that much, but it's the thought that counts!

Went with Kai and some Lechner fishies to Santa's Wonderland. It's one of those epic Christmas light displays that you drive through. So we drove there and piled everyone into this guy's pickup bed. We had blankets and stuff, and were laughing. And then we came up to the ticket booth. There was a sign that said 'max 10 per car'. We counted... and there were 11. So Kai's friend Jojo, who is quite short, curled in a ball and we covered her with the blankets, setting a tin of cookies on top. When a lady was looking in the bed and starting to count, one of Kai's fishies said 'Merry Chistmas!' and distracted her, and we got away with it! We blared Christmas music and stuff, then went to Whataburger around midnight and talked for a while. I don't remember having that much fun before!

Day 123

Ahh... I'm registered for classes. That takes a load off me, for sure. Maybe my appetite will return. I haven't been eating all that much lately. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, I could stand to lose a few (dozen) pounds. Murr.

I still need to read an article before my lab tomorrow... I should do that tonight before I go to bed.

Got a fire in the fireplace tonight... We should get snow tomorrow! But I don't have any gloves with me... I may need to find a cheap pair, so I can chunk snowballs at people.

Day 122

So cold today! Gotta love it.

Today was pretty much the same as any other Wednesday, I think. Hmm... I have to register for classes tomorrow, which will be stressful, but not so bad. Mom sent me a box today! It had cookies, and my warm red winter coat, some stuff I forgot at home, and A QUILT! So happeh.

On a different note, I did something I never thought I'd do.

I gave a boy my number.

He's in my Japanese class, and he seems really sweet. He's on my bus route. I get off before he does, so I slipped him my number when the bus reached my stop. I hope he doesn't ignore me or anything. All my life, any time I've told a guy I like him, something goes wrong. Either he's gay, or he's a jerk, or he ignores me, or he asks out my twin sister a week later (but that's another story).

One thing I'm thankful for in my apartment: I now have a fire in my fireplace. Toby's a happy puppy. Back home, even if it's in the middle of June, he'll sit on the hearth and stare at people. The Duraflame log isn't as warm as real firewood, but that's okay. I may sleep out here tonight, because it's just so cozy ^_^

Day 121

Cold and rainy. I should like today, but I'm just one big stress-ball. Less than a week of classes left before reading days and finals. I'm really nervous. I'm good to go with Shakespeare, Music and Naut Arch, and probably Japanese, but I'm on the border line with Bio Anth. And my apartment's a mess, I don't know where to start cleaning. I wanna go back home now, thanks...
