I always say that you don't realize that you haven't posted in forever until really, forever has come and gone and your internet corpse has already mummified with time.
iCorpse! Coming in Spring 2008!
But it's cold now, and my skin is cold/dry enough that my incessant computer typing is starting to bother my little fingertips. Keyboard Chafe -- is that a common winter ailment?
The internet is trying hard to help me, though. I'm particularly fond of the Google login- Google Maps tie-in. I log into GMail, and it knows all of my recent map searches. Can't remember what the address of the re-enactment is or are your fingers too achey to type it? Solved! Auto-Fill!
I wish I could auto-fill my life.
Where have I been, really? I wish I knew for sure. I haven't really seen people, which has made me sad, but I'm finally realizing why people balk at my taking 2 languages. During the first two semesters, neither language was that demanding. But third semester, when I'm supposed to have a complete command of two completely different sets of vocabulary. At any one moment, when I'm asked to translate something in either class, I wish I could have a penny for every word that flooded my head. I'd be SO rich. I'm working hard, though.
I've already had my hormone-induced pseudo-mid-semester breakdown. I've found that there's nothing more self-loathing than realizing you have a specific pet peeve that you are DOING YOURSELF. In this case, everyone is flawed, but standing back and just pointing at one's flaws, like some sort of overbred dog, and not actually doing anything about those flaws is terrible. And I was doing it, bigtime. "Here I am, and here are my flaws. You'll notice them highlighted in lovely orange highlighter, but while there are notes in the margins, I've actually made no moves to remedy the error."
I had some crises of scholastic-faith as well, wondering what exactly I was doing aspiring to vet school with chemistry being such a struggle, and it being such a big time commitment. Because really, I won't finish until I'm 34/35. Which leaves little time for family/children/etc if I do everything in some sort of planned order. Worry! Worry-Squared!
In somewhat-related news, things with Adam have been going really well. We go down to Tampa next weekend to Howl-O-Scare and to see Rachel and her beau, Evan. It's a vacation I've been looking forward to for weeks, and certainly knowing it's in ONE week is exhilarating! Also, I'm apparently going to his family's house for Thanksgiving.
Unrelatedly, I'll be in Maryland again this weekend. I know some people are already triple-booked, but if anyone else wants time, lemme know. I'll only be around until Sunday morning, because we're driving up to meet noranac and celestialmartyr for a Revolutionary War re-enactment in New Jersey.
Ah, the things I do for fun. Some fun things of recent memory: Stitch and Bitch at Yenni's, Norana's birthday party, playing Werewolves, an evening on hmasturbator's roof with infd, mikestuy, Sokin, Danielle, Nick Johnson, and Chuck Y. Preceded, of course, by madcap eatery at the overcrowded Panna II.
I guess that the bottom line is that despite things being incredibly busy, me wondering what I'm doing in school, sleeping too little, worrying too much and generally always feeling behind, that I'm feeling good.
Oh, and I don't care if he wins a second Nobel Prize for "inventing" the internet, I don't think Al Gore would make a good president, and I wouldn't be comfortable voting for him. So stop asking me and suggesting it!
