I want to buy some shoes, books, and other things but I am trying to wait until my final grades for the semster come out. Just because I am weird that way.

Current Mood: silly

05:49 pm

Today has been a laid back productive day. I went over the notes on seizure disorders and treatment for tomorrow. Pretty interesting actually. Did some laundry, picked up around the house, made out half of my bills. The credit card bill was particularly painful. Ah well, guess I should get used to it. Next year will be expensive. I still have a letter to finish writing to my grandma. Maybe I can get that done tonight.

Suddenly I've run out of steam to update. Hmm...

05:21 pm - Boxcar Children

Lately I've been on an Amazon kick. I can't seem to tire of seaching for various books and then adding them to my wish list. I've also been thinking about series that I really want to collect: Boxcar Children. Those books were my existence when I was a child. I still want them. Maybe someday I will have a small library.

02:50 pm - Happy Halloween!

Tonight will be handing out candy and then going on a ghost tour. It snowed last night, but so far today the weather had held.

*yawns* Man, I am tired. I am thinking of trying to catch a little cat nap. Hmm...that kind of sounds like something my grandma would say. I must be getting mentally old. ha.

Today I surfed ebay some. That can get addictive. There is this really cute japanese 3/4 sleeve shirt I want. It had light blue sleeves and a picture of a monkey on it with the characters that spell out the word. Ebay also had true looking Asian blouses that I have been drooling over for some time now. Someday I think I'll get one. It would look awesome with a pair of black pants for dressing up. The red one looks snazzy, but I think I'd have to buy the blue. Seeing how it is my favorite color doesn't hurt matters. The red also seems slightly over the top. I'm more of a mellow character. Last week I bought Emilie danskos off ebay. I can't wait til they arrive. They will be perfect for work since they are closed-toe sandals. Plus danskos are just so darn comfy anyway. Someday I'll have a collection I just know it. Giving how I am a shoe fanatic and all. :)

Maybe I should get off the internet and go study for the two exams I have this week...

Current Mood: bouncy

04:06 pm

The first snow of a very long winter happened last night and today. It is exciting now, but I know by January I'll be sick of it and checking out job opportunities in Florida. Anyone want to move there with me? ;)

02:54 pm

I am watching Matlock. A show I haven't seen in years but absolutely LOVED when I was a child. Yes, I was/am a little off. ;) I still like the show, but now it is also amusing to see how times have changed with hair and clothes. I want Andy Griffith to be my surrogate grandfather.

This morning I slept late which was much needed and I enjoyed every last minute of it. Last night I took a bubble bath and painted my toenails pink in girly girl fashion. I feel the need to pamper myself lately. Right now I am indulging in a Papa Murphy pizza. I backslid to eating less than healthy today. I have been a good girl though with eating lately, so this is a hard fought for treat. *nods* Later today I will go work out at the rec center.

I noticed one of my tickers has changed from counting down in months to days now. This makes me happier than it should.

11:15 am - So...

Lately I have become really into countdown type stuff. For instance, there are now three tickers on my info page. Are THREE really necessary? No, probably not. Sadly the only reason there aren't more is because I am working exceptionally hard at self restraint right now. lol I am pacing myself, more will soon follow...

I hate the idea that I am wishing away this time. Time when I am young and healthy. Time in my 20s that I will never get back. Yet I can't seem to stop myself. I try to enjoy something out of each day but it is just getting so damn hard. I am sick of school. (Notice how all of them are school related?) I feel too old for it. Way too old for school. Which was emphasized for me yesterday and I turned yet another year older and am STILL in school. And do to my still being in school, I am still dependent on my parents. Even though I have been an adult for many a year now. This whole being a student and still being dependent on my parents, it messes with my mind. I am ready to truly be an adult ya know? Not just theoretically an adult. To have a job, to pay my own way, to be on my own and make my own decisions and not feel like I need to take anyone else's opinion into consideration because they are helping me out. Something is not right with me or society. I haven't figured out which yet.

04:16 pm

I just woke up from a nap 10 minutes ago. It felt better than I want to admit for reasons I don't particularly care to admit. I've been trying to cut down on my napping during the day this year. I feel like I am too old to run for a nap when I get sleepy during the day. Like it is something that I should have outgrown during my childhood and just never did. That now during my adulthood, I need to wait to sleep until night. Today though, night was too far away. Nothing particular about today killed me. It was yesterday. It was having class from 10-5 straight with only a break for lunch that did me in. I never recovered from that stretch of evil. *sigh* I hope I develop some tolerence for this as the semester goes on.

I am eating New England Clam chowder from one of those little microwaveable cups. I'm pleasantly surprised at how tasty it is. And having a Coke. Although not healthy, caffeine is a staple in my life right now. Something that I tell myself will change when I am no longer in college.

I remember another reason I don't like napping during the day: I wake up feeling disjointed and out of sorts. My mind is mushy.

Other randomness:
-I need to work out tonight
-tomorrow I am getting a massage
-I want to lose 15 pounds by Christmas (yeah, I know what I said earlier about having a Coke :P)
-my desk is a mess
-my nose is stuffy

11:29 pm - And so it begins again.

P3 year started on Monday. It is thrilling and scary all in one. I can't believe this is my last year of book work. I remember the orientation like it was yesterday. *sigh* Even though I didn't believe it would, time has passed. Today was long and tomorrow will come too soon. I must rest.

11:32 am - 24 more days!

I love doggie school. I really do. Thankfully, so does my dog. She mostly loves the 15 minutes of playtime with the other dogs before the class starts, but she also gets a lot out of the obedience part too. Last week she learned "leave it." I should find out from the instructor how many weeks it is. I'm a spaz that way.

Twenty four more days until the end of the school year! Woo hoo! This semester has been one that has just drug. You know, for some reason the spring ones seem to take longer. I can't quite put my finger on why that is. Two more spring semesters left. One of which I expect to go quicker just be its very nature.

03:27 pm - one month minus one day

Until the end of the semester. I can hardly stand it. I really need a break for this intellectual jail. I have lost all motivation and concentration. I was talking with someone else in my class today and she feels the same way. Knowing someone else was suffering from lack of motivation helped me somehow. Made me not feel so alone. No one should have to take more than 4 years of higher education. It is cruel.

Today is beautiful outside. I am nearly giddy with the mild weather and the sunshining. I love the time change to more daylight hours. Even though, I have felt out of sorts all week because of it. I need to go clean the inside of my car...

03:39 pm - this is the best email i've received in a long time

I was sick on Wednesday and so I didn't attend my morning classes. I emailed one of my professors saying I was sick and asking him to bring a handout for me to discussion today. This was his reply:

"Sure thing- Hope you are feeling better; if not, don't push yourself."

That made my day. Usually the professors at this school are anal about proving you are ill seven different ways from Sunday. This did my heart good.
