Cremes

Weee!! I’m so happy, I can’t wait to be done class and watch movies. I need a chill break in the worst way. I’ve been doing last minute assignments today, and I have a class at 4 that I don’t want to go to. But it’s the last one, and he might say some helpful things about the final exam which is next Monday. I’m just getting really antsy to have it all done, so much so that it’s hard to sit still and actually do school work!

I went to talk to the department head of history today to talk about graduating in October, so it looks like it will happen. (YAY!) I’m registered in 5 history courses next year too, then I’m going to take my second Athabasca course and another Acadia distance course, probably Intro Psych. And then I will be ALL DONE. Whoooo! Of course, then there is grad school, but I’m not going to worry about that right now. I finally sent in my student loans prestudy report, since I just got my marks back. Those two A-’s and two B+’s really brought up my GPA, that’s for sure. It was around 2.7 before, now it is at 3.04. YAY!

Only 18 more days until I go to Texas! WEE! It can’t come soon enough.

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.

After a quasi mental stress breakdown a week ago, I decided to go home for this past weekend. I’m glad that I did, I got to see my parents and some friends, ran into an old friend and chatted for a bit, and even hung out with my big sister and her kids.

Thursday I spent the entire day working on my paper that was already late, but I got it in that afternoon, yay! I dashed off to class in the pouring rain, then met up with Casey and cabbed it back up the hill. I wish the stupid rain would give us a bloody break. Anyways, I had packed before I left so I had only enough time to bring it to the door and grab my Desperate Housewives DVDs before getting a call from the shuttle. I ended up forgetting my power cord for my laptop (something I tend to forget a lot) and so I didn’t end up using it a whole lot! Holly picked me up at McDonalds and then I hung out at her house until my parents came to get me.

Friday I went shopping with mom after work and we picked up a few things for dad, some office supplies at RH Davis and a handicapped placard for the truck. Poor dad :( I went to get my passport photos taken again for my Visa petition. That was 28$ :( Oh well, it’ll be all worth it in the end. I also got a few recommendations for wedding photographers while I was there. I ended up calling Monique d’Eon, so yay I have a photographer. :D

Me and mom went shopping again on Saturday, with the intention of getting Christmas gifts. We got a few things, we also took a tour by Rodd Grand Hotel, and now we have a place for the wedding rehearsal dinner. It’s going to be a bit costly, but it’s only for family and the wedding party, so it’ll be ok. Mike and I have to pick the food and stuff, but that’s not something we need to worry about too much right now. I didn’t buy very much, just my dinner when I went to Pizza Delight with Holly and Sarah and then a cross stitch to work on for the next couple of weeks. I’m going to split Dad’s Christmas gift with mom, she’s going to wait until I have money before I have to pay her back.

Yesterday, I went to go see Chicken Little in the NEW theatres in Yarmouth. They finally look like normal theatres now. It’s amazing. And you can buy just about anything you can imagine in those concessions. Seriously. They had your normal popcorn and candy, and then pretzels, frozen yogourt, and hot dogs. There was probably more but you can only take in so much. They have the do-it-yourself ticket buying machines outside the lobby too. My matinee ticket cost me $7.75. I was shocked, too. But the movie was cute and it was fun to get out with April and stuff.

I didn’t get as much schoolwork done as I had planned, but that’s alright. I have all night to do up my essay and most of the research is finished. After that it is only ONE MORE ESSAY! Whoo!! Then I have exams then TEXAS! Man, I cannot wait to get down there again. I’m already freezing my toes off. I am in the home stretch!

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.

In a church, by the face,
He talks about the people going under.

Only child know…

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep…
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip.

But we’re never gonna survive, unless…
We get a little crazy
No we’re never gonna survive, unless…
We are a little…

…Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
One of them’s got a gun, to shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no!

If all were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe…
Miracles will happen as we speak.

But we’re never gonna survive unless…
We get a little crazy.
No we’re never gonna survive unless…
We are a little…
Crazy…

Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years…

Oh darlin…
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn’t that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly
Isn’t that crazy?
Crazy…
In a heaven of people there’s only some want to fly
Ain’t that crazy?
Oh babe… Oh darlin…
In a world full of people there’s only some want to fly
Isn’t that crazy?
Isn’t that crazy… Isn’t that crazy… Isn’t that crazy…

Ohh…
But we’re never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we’re never gonna to survive unless we are a little… crazy..
But we’re never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we’re never gonna to survive unless, we are a little.. crazy..
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit…
