"I know I shouldn't waste my time wishing I'd been better designed but for some reason still think"
Long day was long. That three hour block of class is starting to kill me-- and my back. I'm carrying my laptop, two anthologies, a notebook, assorted light school supplies, a novel, assorted personal items (keys, phone, etc.), and usually some jacket/scarf/tauntaun to bundle myself up in because by the time 6:00 rolls around it's frickin' freezing outside and I'm on my bike. Don't ride your bike, you suggest. Well, I wouldn't except I've got to get several blocks over in less than ten minutes, including the time where my Brit Lit teacher TALKS PAST FOUR FUCKING THIRTY LIKE HE OWNS OUR ASSES FOR HOWEVER LONG HE SO PLEASES AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE PLACES TO BE IN T-MINUS EIGHT MINUTES. Sorry about the capslock but it really irrittaes the fuck out of me.
Anyway, did that. Only thing keeping me sane is the fact that I can do sudoku/crosswords during MAA and play on my laptop during Brit Lit most of the time while offering sporadic insights so the professors won't call on me. It seems to be working out. Hell, I talk more than anybody else in my MAA class and half the time I haven't even read.
Talked with Liz, an uplifting activity I hadn't done in too long. We talked for two and a half hours, mostly about writing. It was amazing and awesome and I love the internet, Gmail being 70% of why. Seriously, every time I open my gmail, it just makes me happy and I say as much. (Steph has pointed out this fact several times because I continually say how much I love it.) She has fantastic ideas and also knows how to inflate my ego so I think I'm going to try and get back to writing Kids Of Eden sometime this weekend between all my reading and writing of my essay. SRSLY THOUGH cherryfeather YOUR IDEA IS GRAND AND I'M SKETCHY-ING THINGS AND I HARDLY EVER DO THAT SO THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. (EVEN THOUGH I'LL LOVE YOU MORE WHEN YOU WRITE DOWN THOSE RABID BUNNIES FOR GIDEON/CLEO.) Sorry, our conversations/inside jokes tend to generate/call for capslock on a regular basis. I feel incomplete without it.
Tonight I got to chill mostly because I only have two classes tomorrow, Fiction and Theatre. No reason to freak out or stress because in Fiction I just have to listen to Dr. Berman talk and take notes-- if he were to assign something (which he has yet to do), I wouldn't turn it in until Monday anyway, so I'd have the weekend to read/do it. Then with Theatre, I've already got a leg up on Lear plus a group is supposed to present tomorrow anyway, so I'm home free basically.
Watched Yanks In The U.K. all the way through for the first time today. I remember watching the middle part of the second episode on TNT as I was slowly getting into Bones but this just made me ship Booth/Brennan so much more. Also, I liked Pritchard, which is/was Suzie, who also played a character in Rome, so she's kind of amazing and pretty funny in this and is it bad that I want OT3 fic? ALSO, ANGELA AND HODGINS WHYYYYYY. Oh, and despite what happens because of Cam to the former (even though it's not really her fault and she just brought some stuff to light) I really am just continually confirming my love for Cam. I never got to be biased against her for coming in the lab and bossing everyone around and knowing Booth all intimately, and I like it this way. SHE'S SO DAMN FUNNY. I LOVE HER. Missed tonight's episode --as Liz will attest, I was quite put out-- but I've downloaded it and got in on file for tomorrow night's relaxation, so it's all good.
Saw the Torchwood trailer. Excuse my lack of glee, but it doesn't seem like anything special, I'm put out because there's no Martha and oh, yeah, it DOESN'T COME OUT UNTIL BLOODY WHEN? SUMMER YOU SAY? SURELY YOU FUCKING JEST, BEEB. Yeah, I was looking forward to that being a nice birthday present from the BBC, but noooooo.
Just drafted a flyer for RHA, gonna print it tomorrow morning and post them hopefully before all the girls leave for the weekend like what happened last time. I'm gonna ask Alyse to fill us in on what we need to survey about in an email on Tuesday so I can get the notices out before Friday morning/afternoon since she needs numbers by Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Contemplating being an RA next year. It takes a lot of time/training and I'd go back basically at the beginning of August, which would kind of suck, and at the beginning of January, which would REALLY suck. But I'd like the experience/perks/any less money I can give LSU would be fantastic for my parents, even if it's only for one year, especially since I kinda wanna travel abroad for a semester and in the summer (London and Paris, respectively). So... I guess I'll need to get on that application biz, too. *sigh* I'm just conflicted because I can't work STRIPES camp if I become an RA. Argh. So many wants, and everything overlaps.
Every time I think I've finally cut down my list of things to do, more stuff appears. Like, my half of the room looks acceptable now, but that's only because most of my clothes are clean and in a hamper, bag or suitcase and need hanging/folding/putting away. Not to mention the two boxes of stuff I still haven't unpacked, but to be fair I've only been back a month. (God, it feels like forever.)
Okay, 9:30 class tomorrow morning, must find the will to get up in roughly eight and a half hours and I won't know where I've placed it if I don't get to bed soon. Ta, and kindly tell my period to bugger off for me, okay?
