Friday the 13th

I was on the bus in the early afternoon, staring outside and absentmindedly watching this kid on the sidewalk. Then as he was passing by a tree, a dead crow fell out of it, right at his feet. It was hilarious.

I also managed to get to school an hour earlier than I needed to. For some reason I thought my class was at 1 when it was really at 2 and ended up walking into Super-Calculus. Yeah, good job.

Then when I got home, I checked the mailbox and found a singing Hannah Montana card from Courtney.

............

I suppose it's a good thing I'm not in Santa Cruz; I might not have had such an amusing day.

A Post About Nothing In Particular

For some reason I'm feeling really good right now. Work today wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was anticipating it to be; I think it's because I'm finally getting the hang of things.

On a slightly gloomy note, however, I'm not going to Santa Cruz this weekend like Amber and I originally planned. It's okay, since we'll be going in two weeks, but I was really looking forward to getting away for a while. At least the gap between that trip and my spring break trip will be shorter. 

On a kind of weird note, a couple things have occurred involving someone from my past, and I'm left feeling... mixed, I guess. I don't even know how to begin describing how I feel. It also ties in to another situation that's been eating at me for a very long time, and at the moment I don't know how I feel about that either.

Yes, I can totally be more vague if you want me to.

I'm gonna go finish the little bit of coffee that's left in my pot and hope it doesn't keep me up all night. Oh, the perks of being an addict. xD

I Want To Kill My Throat

I was determined to not get sick like I did last year, and I managed to put it off for a while, but I suppose when your lecture halls contain 400+ people it's impossible to avoid entirely. Unfortunately (yes, unfortunately), I'm pretty healthy overall and have never gotten seriously sick, so if I go to a doctor's they'll just tell me there's nothing wrong with me. Yeah, thanks. 

Lately, I've been having trouble living in the present, because of my summer plans and the fact that I'm really NOT enjoying my classes this time around. Plus, winter quarter just plain sucks.

If someone wants to whisk me away for a little while, please do.

Bilbo!

Too bad the little rodent isn't making me feel any better about work. 

I Has A Hamster?

He's huge, but totally awesome. No name decided for sure yet, but I want to name him after a Hobbit.

I'm so behind in bio and chem; I have no motivation when it comes to them. I can't wait to start taking useful classes, but alas, that's another eight weeks away.

Besides that, not much is going on. Just waiting till summer for the vacation of my dreams. Though for all I know, Ireland might be a craphole and England might be full of snobs. :D

Also, I totally got Cassandra addicted to Doogie Howser. ^_^

I Went The Other Way; Where Are You Today?

While mice and rats are completely awesome, checking up on hundreds of them for hours is not. I think I would rather go back to the food industry. At least you get, well, food; I went seven hours without it today and had a terrible headache during bio.

I've been thinking about getting some kind of rodent lately. Actually, it's been there in the back of my mind for quite a while, as we had three (four?) hamsters in the suite last year. The only problem is, I'm hardly ever in one place, and I don't want to make someone else take care of it or have to give it up. I don't even know if I'll be anywhere near here next year. Which leads me to think about my plans for a nomadic life once I'm out of college; I don't know if I'll be happy with that. There's no way I could get a cat or anything of the sort, and there's the potential loneliness. While it sounds fun, I've always been kind of iffy about not settling down at all.

So those are the kinds of thoughts I have after I consider getting a pet rodent.

On the bright side, I dropped a class and now have Tuesdays completely free. I'm taking the minimal number of units again, which makes me look like a complete slacker in comparison to science majors. Also, while I've always had the characteristics of a loner, I don't think I've truly been one till now. The weird thing is, it doesn't bug me, but I just feel like I shouldn't be one when I see other people interacting all the time.

I hate how susceptible I am to societal pressure.

God, my hands still smell like latex no matter how many times I've washed them with soap. Also, I probably smell like mice.
