Shower, dog meds, trip to target for snacks and makeup
Tried the makeup on, makes me look excruciatingly exhausted.

11:17 PM >>>: you did quite make my night tho
11:20 PM >>>: i know


Today, I rose easily, got ready for the morning, and pedaled off to school 10 minutes early, feeling leisurely and little cold but very comfortable.

First class, all good. Had a speaker. I spaced out a bit but he had some inspiring remarks.

Break, I ate a tasty bagel and submitted some homework and studied some programming.

Second class, had a panic moment as I realized I have really, seriously have 2 things to submit next monday. Then, hooray, the big assignment was rescheduled. Still felt overwhelmed.

After class, had to race to work. Talked to Myn, didn't do work. Myn left, closer came in, night went down hill, left 10 minutes early.

Eventually did some work.

La dee daa.
Had a surprise pizza-cuddly-warm-wet-then dry visit yesterday day. yay! Such things make the clouds go away..

After getting home this afternoon (on the bus next to a smelly kid who left the odor of rotten fruits and dirty hair in my nostrils) I did some pieces of homework and grew bored. I made up some background images for my BIG site. The prjt mgr wants me to make 3 more site variations by sunday. I sort of feel like, fuck that. I made 3 comps, the programmed the skeleton of every page on the site, and YOU haven't done a THING except dole out these BS goals. No one wrote any site content, which I suggested we do last week. So suck it.

And stop suggesting the site colors be maroon and green. No. A little of one with the other but not equal amounts of both. No.

Anyway, as I was saying, after getting home this afternoon and relaxing, Myn texted me to come watch some movies. I happily watched "Drag me to hell" and "Road Trip: Beer Pong" The first was icky and a little scary with the loud noises. The last scene is etched into my brain tonight. Good lord. Beer Pong was much better than I expected, but perhaps I was susceptible to laughs after Drag me to Hell.

Tomorrow is student group night. Blarg. I worked on my database today and talked to a professor. Using office 03 version of access on an old laptop is very frustrating, but it's getting done. After 2 months.
I took Mk's comments to heart and didn't get "too much" sleep then I took dog for a walk this evening. (I'm badly out of shape and apparently overindulge in sleep when I'm able too.) This is to keep me from feeling sleepy during the day. It's hard to say if it was a success since it wasn't a normal day at work so there was no control for the experiment. Not to say it was a bad day. But there was another expert working and she got to be the one to talk to the O guy and not me, and made everything run smoothly. Like a lubricant and buffer. And made $11 in tips! If it's got to busy, at least the customers are rich and happy.

Anyway, next, diet and exercise. Har.

I post now because I think i figured out my programming homework. At any rate, my program did what it was supposed to and I used a Do/Loop. I also have to use a lot of If statements so I'm not seeing the pro to sticking the Loop in there. I guess it makes it go and not stop til there is an answer but it's still a lot of writing. At any rate, I feel like I have a good attempt to show the professor, plus I'm on schedle for the test is next wednesday.

Carved a pumpkin last night with Myn. Her brother was touching my neck and hair because my "stupid boyfriend" never comes around. I said that he was dead inside. Myn's pervy brother gives nicer touches than my stupid boyfriend ever does.

Bought a plane ticket for Seattle in december! My sister invited us out to her place for christmas (father excluded because he must bring home the bacon). She's going to help me pay for it.

I got the raise at work plus the $10 retroactive amount. I'm now netting $7.16/hr. That's more than some people.

Downloaded the first 2 episodes of Glee (and the Hangover and Bolt) and now sipping on a screwdriver. I need more juice. I need to grocery shop. I should have taken advantage of mom in town and bought a lot of groceries instead of just a few things.

Had a lovely warm bubbly hot night w Mk yesterday. My mother's comments turn to dust on days and nights like that.

School has gotten very-slightly overwhelming. The online classroom site where I download some assignments and check grades has been down since this afternoon, so I've been limited to working on my Internship projects and making lists of items to do as I feel like it. I could have done my B.I.G. writing but... I did not because it's dumb. (I got a 50/50 on my intership report, btw! Another business professor who is easy to impress with written homework)

It'll all be alright. Sure, I work all weekend again, but I have friday off as well as most afternoons during the week. Today, I stayed at school for an hour to work on my Visual Basic homework. I got the form set up, but the coding was hard :'( I think I needed a break to process it since I opened it right after lecture. I swear, most college students must study much harder than I do. I spent 3 hours playing Worms World Party when I got home.

Worms.

And other things that all blend together to mean nothing a week or two from now. That's the safety of nothin'.
Nothing unusual to report.

The school week ended well, as I'd hoped and expected.

Got rained on. It was lovely. Friday last week was freezing and Im pleased to see that autumn has returned for now.

I got home and did some chores, watched some shows on Hulu, had supper, a nice evening that was deserved since I did my schoolwork.

My mom is coming to visit me tomorrow. Mk might visit me before; either way I have stuff to do and it will be fun.

My tummy feels a little icky-rumbly.

I got a new cellphone last night after work. This is will be a unusually good week. It's a lot like my old phone but i can type on the front and move backwards and forwards, too. Glee.

well, this weekend I just worked a whole lot, so I asked for this coming friday off because i felt i deserved it, since I was promised a raise. and when I say i worked all weekend, i mean 3 days, not 2. then my mom wants to come visit me, so I asked for S & S off too. so only 1 shift next week. vacation!

this morning I had my weekly checkin at internship. I talked on the phone. i rarely talk on the phone, much less a big old office phone. I ended up enjoying putting on my telephone-voice and speaking with people who answer the phones at the doctor's office. My boss has given me some extra projects to work on, too, which is good... Except that the 2 projects I dreamed up are giving me a head ache, due to conversion difficulties and using a laptop when I desire an actual mouse. Whatevs!

this was exam week. My programming exam yesterday was bad,I bombed it. I have a take-home exam this week, due thursday. Im working on the essays now. They are neither interesting nor challenging.

Sunday night Mk took me to pizza hut. even tho he felt feverish he still desired company and restaurant experience. We talked about dbz the whole time. since I am busy with campus group and mom this week, we may not see each other again. but Sunday was so flawless, i feel that was enough.

I start the new birth control tomorrow. oh what will it be.
I burned through money like an idiot this week

  • graduation application processing - $30
  • Replace broken phone - $20
  • noodle express for two - $15
  • birth control that probably won't be used - free but I donated $10
  • other food: pizza on monday, 2 lattes and a salad for lunches - $15

When will it end? Will i get a raise on tomorrow's paycheck?

Horrible long weekend of work coming up, I will have to spend more money to keep myself fueled. Tonight even is busy. Study session, 10pm meeting because project manager came up with last-second things for tomorrow's meeting, gah else?

Good thing that Mk was mean to me yesterday which prompted me to buy booze on the way home. Jerk!

    school
  • it went really well today for some reason. i was well rested and was sitting at the power seat in consulting. i had attention and responded to it fairly well. the participation points, they are mine.
  • also i solved my programming deadends. i went in for help and it was received! i didn't think he would help. then at home i figured out another part by myself.
  • met with b.i.g. group on sunday. again, i'm pleased with how we worked together. i think we were a little premature in celebrating ourselves. we must stay on task and not think that the energy from a good start will carry forward.
    work
  • i called in for my hours this evening. i have 24! normally i've been getting under 19 per week. friday i worked 7.5, saturday 7, sunday 6 and monday 3.5
  • this is good: i spent a lot on my car and income is great! it will keep me busy since i don't even know what i'd do with a free weekend any more. i can bring coffee or a rockstar so the mid-afternoon post-rush blues don't obliterate my happy. this is the plan
  • and the bad: i have an exam on monday, then another on tuesday. this relates to the school items. i plan on studying and working on them on wednesday and thursday (filling in for coworker tomorrow night). i have tentative plans to work with a buddy on wednesday. i will do well. i know i can. I know how to do it. i need practice.
  • so i might be a little overwhelmed but it's not that much more.
    dilemma
  • i have a hurty spot somewhere that is hard to reach and see.
  • i touched it a lot so it hurt, so i tried putting a warm compress on it to help.
  • no idea if it's an ingrown hair, a cyst or a pimple. other than the compress, the plan is to gently ignore it until it heals.
    holiday
  • even though it's only october, been planning with mom and brother
  • a week off from school to work, then get a ride home with mom for xmas
  • then a few more days back in zootown to work and recover, then out to wa with brother
  • unknowns are exact dates and what to do with my doggy

It was a completely hectic lunch rush today. I hate them! I was feeling tired and unfocused and irritated because some of my hair was touching my face, and the guy I was working with was just bothering me and there were so many people. I don't know what it is: The coworkers or the early start to the day, but it is no fun. Made like 0 tips because it was a high school sports team, no surprise there. Made more money in the hours past lunch rush.

Biked to and from work. Morning was chilly, afternoon was windy. Fuck the wind! I'm driving tomorrow. I can bike through heat, cold, rain, snow and around ice as much as possible, but wind is impossible to me. It just pisses me off. It's still very windy. All the lose pieces outside my apartment are rattling around.

Trying to do some homework. Still very stuck. Reviewing previous chapter to try to help myself.

What's in store for the evening. i feel recovered from work, so I may visit friends. I am drinking white wine from an old glass apple juice bottle. It's the nicest glass I have...
Like I said, this week has felt very good for some reason. Not sure why, is it the way classes have been going, or the amount of sleep I've been getting, or my overall mood is good?

Today, chilly and rainy, had classes as normal and finished my website during my break. Took the bus to internship, starving, helped the boss out and went back to campus and had a fun meeting. Went to work for 2 hours and made almost $4 in tips.

Yesterday i hung out w Mk all day after class, we compared grocery stores.

My left hip has been hurting real bad, it hurt to sit in my car, hurts to sit now, hurts to walk sometimes.
I get sick of working by sunday afternoon. Sick of noise, customers, messy coworkers, boredom, feeling like I'm working too hard for what I'm paid and for what I'm recognized for. But it's not like I can take a saturday off. I wonder what my schedule this week will be. I asked to work at another location as needed, so I hope that wasn't understood wanting to work at the other place exclusively.

No other updates. Just trying to prepare myself for another stifling week at school. I need a thing to do while on campus so I can feel like I unwind between classes.

So friday I hung out with Mk then went to work and that evening I brought up a bunch of dumb stuff so now I guess it was a result of my own over-thinking and he doesn't know a damn thing.

Work today was really busy, at least compared to every other saturday I've ever worked. made the day go by fast. Then this evening I got some work done. I worked on my Systems homework so I'll be prepared for the test and wrote the majority of my internship report.

Still no car, not getting invites from friends, guess I am forgotten.
Also, I did really good on spending this month. My Cc only has about $90 on it, before Internet, and not included my insurance payment. I like to disinclude charges like that... they make my results better more often..
Stayed kinda busy today, maybe that's why it's feeling pretty good.

Well, woke up around 8:30am to take my car to the Imports shop. They drove me home in an Audi. Later I got the call about repairs, 300-600 if I want to get the unnecessary cleaning done (er, I don't at the moment.) So that sucked, but I want to be a car owner anyway!!

So, went to classes, they were rather dull but not too drawn out. Ate a corn dog and soup at the country store, Saw an old coworker behind the counter. Dropped off my graduation application. Considered buying a smoothie type drink, but I got some fruit leather and a tasty little otterpop instead.

I went home before my event tonight because my 2pm class got out 30 minutes early. I took off my nice dress clothes, made a few calls about my car, then pedaled downtown. I originally planned to take the bus. But I decided I might be too late for it, and besides, it's lovely out. I was halfway downtown before that bus passed me, so I was pleased that I didn't waste or gain anytime with my decision.

The Event was fun. Did some stuff. Got some wine and bread. Scratched my hand. Tired now. Laid in bed for a minute and it felt nice.
Another day, another ...day.

Nothing interesting or special happened. I suppose I got along with my group-mates reasonably well, and didn't mind getting heckled by the prof. But, I went to school, ate lunch, and have felt like taking a nap for the last hour.
standing alone
Well I just feel all messed up. I can't put it into words.
So here's my tuesday without commentary.


Took the bus downtown. Met David at the bus stop but only had a moment to say hello before the bus picked us up.

At internship, I typed up a page of statistic, filed some charts, and recorded my volunteer hours. I don't think my boss gets that I need 9+ hours a week, even though this is a bullshit internship that's not very related to my major and we should just all agree to lie about my hours anyway. Anyway, getting up at 8 made me tired and I felt like falling asleep twice later that day.

First class went fine, I should probably do the homework but I think it will be easy.

My break was long and tortuous. I ate 2 corn dogs (they make some amazingly good corn dogs for some reason, maybe I was just super hungry), some cheezits and water. I picked up some paperwork to drop off later and asked some questions about my grad app. Read for a while in the business building.

Second class was fine. A bit boring. Mk texted me 45 minutes before he was supposed to pick me up. Went over ok, no grouchy late problems.

My feet ached from wearing my clicky boots.

Hung out on the bed for 3 hours. Felt horrible afterward; after I got on a train of thought I could barely meet his eyes.

He left, I sniffed a while, tried to do my grad app, frustrated because I forgot some things, went to the store to buy some stuff.

Here now. Waiting for my existence to end. Ugh so dramatic.
