I finally sent out my order for Aeropostale yesterday (during class teehee). I’m getting this super cute robe with polar bears on it, which matching socks and underwear. Also getting the teddy bear featured on the webpage since I mostly just ordered a pile of socks and that robe. Oh, and a keychain that it quite cute. Luckily, if anything doesn’t fit right, I can bring it into the store in the mall in Texas and exchange it or get a store credit. Much less hassle than sending it back to the online store that I’ve had considerable problems with.

Last weekend got me thinking about family. I’m kind of sad that I won’t be able to spend Christmas with them. I think that the older you get, the more you appreciate the unconditionalness that comes with family. We stick together. They don’t stop calling just because I got cranky that one time. I can say what I feel around them because they aren’t going to judge me and stop caring about me. And of course, I value their company a lot more now that I’m old enough to appreciate it. Dad has definitely taken a turn for the worse since I was last there. I guess that’s another reason to appreciate family.

I finished my essay at 1:30 am last night. I’m not sure that it’s any good, but I definitely did what the assignment asked for, so here is hoping. I have another essay that is due by midnight on Thursday, but I’m not starting it today. I’m just chilling out between classes, writing this and looking up some music on the web. I think that tonight I’ll just maybe pop in a movie and have spaghetti, then head off to class at 7. My last night class for the semester! This is my last crazy Tuesday, hopefully forever. I went to talk to the secretary of the History Department and let her know my dilemma. I have a really good chance of getting in the American Century class which is great… but I don’t want to keep my night class if I’m stuck in the 8:30. This is what I’m trying to avoid. I don’t mind having the 8:30, but one of them has to go. I can’t have anymore Tuesdays like this, and I despise night classes anyways because they are only once a week and three hours long.

Anyways, I guess it’s time to zone out for awhile, and wait another 20 minutes before heading to my next class. Wee.

3 days until the weekend.
9 days left of classes.
24 days left until exams are over.
26 days until I go to Texas.
33 days until Christmas.
193 days until the wedding.

I just had 14 hours of sleep in two days. I’m beat. It’s taking all that I have to stay awake at 1pm, all I want to do is return to bed. I have one more essay to write. Due tomorrow night. I don’t think it’s going to get completed. Good thing he has a late policy. I think I’m going home this weekend to recharge my batteries. Last night I had a meltdown, and I couldn’t stop crying. It’s just everything happening at once: being sick, assignments are all due, haven’t had a break in forever, missing Mike, not sleeping well… it’s just too much for one person to handle. Also, I haven’t had the time to cook myself decent meals or do laundry, or clean the apartment. All I’ve been doing is watching the occasional movie and studying. With three more essays to go, I’m just not sure I can do it all without wanting to jump out of a moving vehicle or something. So, I’m taking the afternoon off, I can’t do it all. Maybe a nap after class. Probably will make spaghetti tonight. Always the comfort food. This semester can’t end soon enough.

Hooray! I completed an essay today! It makes me feel pretty good because I only got my topic yesterday around 5pm, and here we are, 1am the next day and I’m done! Well, I have to format the essay into proper form, with footnotes and bibliography and title page, and reread it and look at Mike’s suggestions from his proofreading, but other than that, I’m completely done. YEEHAW! That makes me feel so great, and hopefully I did a decent job on the paper. I have a decent shot at an A in this course, my current mark is just at an A (80%), and I really want to get at least one A this semester.

Other than essay writing, I haven’t been up to too much lately. Watched a few things. I watched Princess Diaries 2 on Thursday night, then Bowling for Columbine yesterday morning, then Herbie: Fully Loaded tonight. Tomorrow it is Desperate Housewives here in Apt 109, but if I’m really productive tomorrow I might sneak in Fever Pitch as well. I’ve got one more essay that requires researching, and then I’m ready to write up a storm. I also really should do some laundry tomorrow. My dirty clothes are probably conspirating against me by now.

Anyways, time for bed… I guess I got a little sidetracked because I started this an hour ago! At any rate, tomorrow is time for being productive, and now is time for sleep.

And thus I have learned my lesson that if the doc says that it’s probably just a virus — MAKE SURE HE TAKES A THROAT SWAB REGARDLESS! Bah, humbug. I could be feeling normal again by now. He hasn’t sent in my doctor’s note yet either. Grr, incompetence!

I’ve started on my penicillin already but it’ll probably take a few days to clear up. Phooey. Oh well, just one more day of classes then I have a whole weekend to rest up. I need to grab some library books tomorrow and then I’ll be all set to go. Then it will be only two weeks left of classes! Yipe! How the heck does it go by so quickly? Not that I am complaining. That means in 4.5 weeks I’ll be in Texas! Yippee!

Anyways, I should get back to studying, I’m starting to get sleepy so I don’t know how much longer I can read these dusty old books! But tomorrow I have a fairly busy day so unless I skip class I don’t think I’ll have a lot of time to research for these papers. Time is flying and I need to do well! Toodles!

Did you know tonsils grow back sometimes after they’ve been removed?! Neither did I!

Also, I may have strep throat. Stay tuned.

I’m having the worst time trying to stay awake. I only fell asleep last night around 1am and that wasn’t good considering I had to get up at 7:30 this morning. After getting up, I tried to medicate myself enough to feel human, but my post-nasal drip is still going overtime which makes me cough, which isn’t fun at all. I’m thinking about trying an antihistamine because this might be allergies or something. That’s what happened last time I had a cold that wouldn’t go away. A lot of people have allergies acting up now with all the fall leaves on the ground, so it may be affecting me as well. So maybe after this class I’ll run down to the Pharmasave and see what they can do for me.

I’ve decided to skip my class tonight because it’s giving snow this evening and I just can’t handle the cold with this sickness. I’m definitely going to go to bed first thing when I get home. Man, I’m beat. I’m exhausted and I have so much work to do… I hate being sick. My shoulders are also really hurting, I must have slept in a weird way or something.

Hrm, I just checked to see what allergy symptoms were and apparently muscle pain can be one of them. I think I’m going to head down the to drugstore and get something, because this is just getting to be ridiculous. I need some relief.

Update: I don’t think it’s helping, but it’s not hurting either. We’ll see.
