So...naps are seriously better than caffeine...
Probably of interest to no one but me:
So, basically last/this week has been an exercise in "How much can I procrastinate and still get everything done on time?" The answer? Waay more than I would have imagined. (It helps when "sleep" is replaced with lying in bed for half-hour stretches periodically, along with showers and sniffing minty-scented things.)
Saturday before last: Went birding with Noah (a kid from my ocean's class) on Saturday, which was fun. This was followed by Becca's comp, which I might have pictures of some time, depending on how lazy I am.
Sunday: Last psych class. I actually got to take the test I missed being on Cape Cod the previous Sunday and get it scored, which I wasn't expecting. So that was good. After that, we went to this great restaurant for Mother's day. It's called Karibu--"welcome" in Swahili--and everyone there was so sweet and friendly. It was great. I also realized how much Swahili I've forgotten...ergh. x__x I want to start practicing again.
Monday: Did all my stats homework, plus wrote Oceans paper, all while getting roughly enough sleep and having time to procrastinate because my focus = non-existent anymore. (I got my homework and paper back today and did well on both of them, so...awesome)
Tuesday: AP psych = finished. It wasn't even that big of a deal, but it was exciting to actually be done with something. After the test, I had a nice conversation afterward with the only kid taking the test with us who wasn't doing it through Delve. I was pretty proud of myself for actually like ... having a conversation ... with a stranger. Starting it even, sorta. That shouldn't be a source of pride, but for me, it really is. I was pleased.
After that, I was going to go climbing with Julia, but it got late and we ended up just hanging out and talking instead. Which was good.
Wednesday: Studied for my Archaeology final. Because if I didn't, I wouldn't have known shit. Which is a new experience for me. This actually ended up involving watching clips of the gay storyline from some stupid soap opera on youtube. It's so terrible--it's not even a good show. I'd feel so much better about it if I were reading fanfic or watching Torchwood or something.
Thursday: .....WTF I got an A- on my paper (and only the minus because I didn't to the presentation). I don't understand this. At. All.
I don't even know what happened to my weekend. There were definitely things I was going to/supposed to do that just didn't happen. Like going rock climbing. Oh, and people came to take one of the kittens--the gray splotchy one. His owners emailed mom earlier today, and apparently he's doing well in his new home. So that's good. Uhm, if anyone is looking for a kitten/knows someone who wants a kitten, we have 3 more who don't yet have homes. And they are seriously the sweetest, most adorable kittens we've ever had.
Today: My glasses decided to go on vacation at some point between last night and this morning, without so much as warning me, and are currently no where to be found. And while I can see well enough without them--especially if I'm just taking a test and there's nothing important happening on the board--I'd really rather at least have the option of wearing them. I actually tend to take them off during tests, because I can focus better on the paper in front of me without them, but I feel weird not having them at all.
Adding to my general disoriented feeling today: The statistics final was in a different building from where we normally have class/tests. Now, being in a different room in general doesn't necessarily make everything all comfortable and happy and confident, but ... the room we ended up in. WTF? The carpeting was this bright purple, the chairs were all a very intense, dark green, and the lights had this purple caste that made everything white (like, say, the paper the test was on...) appear this bright, glowing purple-white color that was deeply disorienting to look at. Plus, there were no windows and the walls were all black, which made everything feel ... just ... dark. Like you were walking into this shadowy, twisted bubble-hole of glowing purple. All in all, it was just a weird atmosphere. It might have been a cool effect, in another context, but trying to focus my eyes on this glowing purple sheet of paper to read the bloody test question was not exactly fun.
I finished just barely in time, and since I was in a different building from normal, I had to run to get to my oceans final. I was still late. But I finished it with over an hour to spare.
It's so weird, coming home and realizing that I have nothing to do for the rest of the summer. It won't stay that way for long, I know (at least it bloody well better not), but it's like...I don't know what I'm putting off doing tonight. A little depressing, too, that my classes are finished and I'll probably never see those people again. I don't think I've ever felt sad about that before....
There is a kitten sleeping on my keyboard.
I should go to bed.
Also, this is quite impressive: http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id
