papers.

it's that time of year again...where i study for a few hours and get ready to take on some mid-term papers. it's kind of sad that my camera takes pictures "inside-out-ish", but that's okay, because i don't want people reading it anyways. 

a most hectic day. well...not really. if you enjoy studying from ten in the morning until two in the evening with a few breaks here in there, it hasn't really been all that bad. i sat outside and read a book that i needed to read for assignments due this week. the weather, i daresay, is absolutely splendid. i'm scared of getting wrinkles, so i didn't sit out there for too long before i fled back inside to finish the portion of reading required. it's probably a good thing that i enjoy writing, because of of the courses that i am taking has quite a bit of writing that is necessary.
with all of that said, i can tell you a bit of the nastiness that just occurred. zoe [the dog] just threw up right next to my car's front right tire wheel. her owner asked me if she should just let it sit there or if she should try to put a box over it. ummm...hehe. bugs? lots of them? right next to my passenger side? no thank you! i suggested that she could at least pour the cup of water she was holding on it to see if it would wash it away any. it melted a tiny bit of it away, and then she decided to go and get the hose. phew. puke is one of those things that i am not very fond of. my other roommate said she was going to take an "hour nap" starting at ten, but hasn't yet resurfaced [and it is now two]. it's a beautiful, lazy, spring day. i still maybe have four hours of classwork to do, and i could probably do some of it tomorrow, but knowing myself, it would be best to see what i can get done today so i can actually have a day off once in a while from school work. oh. this is going to be my typical school load now until the end of the semester. sigh. nobody ever said it would be fun or extremely easy, but i'll make the best of it.

oh boy.

homework. this is going to be scary. i guess i had better get started if i ever want to finish. fortunately, i have most of the day friday and saturday free, so i can get things accomplished. oh boy!

march 13th.

it's one of those days. you know the kind. the ones when you do anything to not do your essay that's due in two days that was just assigned today. that kind.

what i have done instead:
lay outside on a blanket in the sun.
drink a quart of water.
bike ride to the lake.
eat food.
watch a short video a friend sent me.
blogged.

i'll get to it!!

one of my friends works at the university. she asked me to help with one of her music classes while i was off during lunch. i was delighted to, considering how much i have been dreaming of doing music again. anyhow, i got to sing with some of her students for something they were working on. what a blast! that was the highlight of my day at school for sure.
i am sitting here, hoping that my brother skypes me...but it appears that our time difference is-well-quite different. hopefully his travels back to the States were alright. our communication since i moved out almost a year ago have been scarce since we aren't usually in the same place at the same time. it's been at least six months since i last saw the guy. not like i don't think about him frequently. i'm actually not a skilled communicator yet in the first place. i get awkward on in-person contact, and over phone i sit and listen more than talk-whether you were planning on doing all the talking or not, and over skype, i smile too big and nervously touch my hair. oh well. *shrugs*. you're probably thinking i'm an extremely awkward person by the sound of things, perhaps i am. i just don't always feel the need to talk, and i quite enjoy listening.
oh boy, do i have homework. it looks like i'll be spending the majourity of my evening doing so...but before i do, i wanted to tell a quick story.

imagine me...sitting in class, minding my own business. get the picture in your head? perfect. this guy who sits next to me every week is korean. you see-for this class, they check us in by if we are sitting in our assigned seating, which is done alphabetically. he's the loudest talking guy you'll probably ever meet, by the way, and perfectly outgoing. either way. i'm sitting in class, minding my own business, and all of a sudden, a bubble lands on the floor next to my feet. i look over to my right, and this kid is sitting there, looking semi-guilty. i lean over and whisper to him, "hey, jimmy? did you see that bubble?" he shakes his head no, and i shake off the feeling that i was just seeing things. yikes! there was another one. this time, i noticed that it was coming from by jimmy's head. right before another one flies through the air and onto my leg, i see how it was produced: asian spit. why...thank you. i don't know how he does it, but he somehow forms spit-bubbles in his mouth, and sends them soaring. trying not to laugh, because other students were noticing and pointing, i motion for him to stop. when he finally stops, class gets let out, and i'm stuck pondering how he does it.


haha. okay...so it doesn't make for much of a story, but i thought it was silly enough to blog about.

why does it have to be so late already? i mean...other than the fact that i haven't been back home for twelve hours, and it feels truly wonderful to be sitting on my couch, listening to the screaming wind outside. jamie is making me hot chocolate, which i have been wanting since i stepped outside to drive home. so perfect.
school today was good, and i even got to make up the dpm that i missed yesterday [ because my alarms ( yes PLURAL) did not go off, for whatever reason. ] this evening, hence me not getting home until now.
today i got so cold...that my fingers turned a blue-ish tint while i was trying to concentrate on class. apparently, i hear that they leave it cold at the university so people dress modestly. silly! i mean...it makes sense, but for people like me who always have cold fingers, you can imagine my dismay. i usually end up sitting on my hands, trying to circulate warmth in them. i think lately i have noticed that my circulation must not be dandy currently because if my legs get hot, they get a strange rash on them, and my hands turn blue-y when they get cold.

every time that i wake up this early, i always am trying to figure out how it is humanly possible to enjoy this time of "day" if you can even call it that. although i've been awake for almost an hour already, i still struggle to keep my eyelids open ( things such as typing keep me awake ) until it is time to leave.
behind on three assignments because they never got posted online since the day i was sick last week. ah! i hate turning things in late. it's one of my pet peeves, knowing that i could have done the homework if only i had known the homework.
fortunately i finish school today at noon - ish, so hopefully that'll give me time to catch up some and hit the sack early. ( i'll probably literally hit it if i can't sleep until 11 tonight like last night! )
not trying to be miss grouchy - pants here, but isn't it too early for humans to be ALIVE? chuckle chuckle.

cuddles.

i am so excited. ( tomorrow i have most of the day off...and i get to sleep in! ) after a pathetic day - on my behalf - because i kept falling asleep. seriously. i didn't know it was possible to fall asleep sitting up, listening to lectures. i somehow managed to stay awake for mr. hood's two hour lecture on the old testament theophanies, which was quite wonderful. buying groceries took forever today, thanks to cheyenne and me being ridiculously slow in the store. when you have nights off, you don't take them for granted - especially when you realize that tomorrow you can sleep in!

what i really need to do now is homework. uh. you didn't see anything. speaking of seeing things, i saw a fox right outside my car when i was unloading the groceries and carrying them into my house. chey and i kind of attempted to contain a squeal, but the fox still took off like a bullet. bummer. i was hoping to keep it as a pet. ( kidding. )

since my hair is getting longer, i have been so tempted to cut it all off. however, i figure that i can manage it for at least another year, and then i'll re-evaluate. although, you never know how long that resolution will stand firm. OH NO! i was afraid for a moment that it was my brother's birthday and it had slipped my mind. three more days - phew - i am not a horrible sister. the "pretty" note ( aka: ruined! ) in one of my previous posts was a picture of the original card and envelope that i created for him...but my water bottle had an accident all over it, and i had to re - create his lovely card. ( the second one was better. ) he'll probably be disappointed when he reads the card and shakes the envelope, only to realize that there is no money. ( sorry, kibbs. i am a poor little missionary! )

going to call it a night in a few, just got a couple more things to do before i can sleep. sweet cuddles.
