Weekend Update
Friday I had my NorthWind meeting and then my internship...ended up staying at the Monthly office till 10:30 when I was supposed to be done at 5, thus making me almost 3 hours late for the NorthWind party at Rob's, but I still had a good time. Went to the Pancake House with Kim, Matt H., Michael, and Don after leaving Rob's, and then they came over and watched some TV.
Went and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire yesterday with Sam and Kim. Excellent movie...darker than the first 3, but because the books are getting progressively darker and this was the first HP movie with a PG-13 rating I had pretty much expected that. Missed a lot of stuff from the book, too, but again, that was to be expected. J.K. Rowling gets so many subtle plot threads going on in the books that it's bound to be cut drastically to fit into movie form. But like I said, it was a good movie anyhow.
Woke up this morning with massively swollen tonsils. I don't have a sore throat or anything, but my tonsils are so swollen that it's bothering me a lot. Like, if I breathe wrong they get lodged in the back of my throat and I feel like I'm choking on them. Majorly weird feeling. So I've been drinking cold stuff like Mom suggested and drank some hot tea with honey like Sam suggested. Told Mom if they werent feeling better tommorrow I'd see about getting a Dr. appt. It just pisses me off cuz I don't want to spend my time at home being sick or having them removed. So hopefully they'll be better in the A.M.
Talked to Mom for a while today. Sounds like we're probly not going to my grandparent's for Thanksgiving dinner because Mom and Codi and I aren't that into it, and Lance and Shane will be heading down to Illinois to sell Christmas trees with Dad. (He left on Thursday, should be back the week before graduation. I will seriously injure Bill if he even attempts to keep my dad down there thru my graduation.) So Mom, Codi and I may just see a movie and go out to dinner instead. Mom also said that as part of my graduation/Christmas present, she's looking at sending me to Washington after New Year's to visit Joe. I'm nervous to go by myself, but excited to see him at the same time. We'll see how things work out.
Exactly 27 more days until I graduate. God am I nervous. I've been concentrating so much on juggling everything this semester that I didn't even realize how close it was getting. I just hope I can hold on until then. I just have one class this week (Tuesday's classes both got cancelled, so I just have my post-poned Lit exam tommorrow), and then Monthly Tuesday and I get to go home. Yeh, I'll have homework and such to work on while I'm there, plus sending out grad. announcements and trying to figure out what's happening post-graduation, but still. I'll be HOME. I haven't seen any of them in nearly a month and it's driving me insane. It's sick how family-dependent I am, really.
Anyhow, I've got work to do, as usual. I've got to make sure to put in some study time for this exam, since I totally sucked on the last one and just eeked out a D+. FUCK! I totally forgot the deadline for our extra credit assignment is tommorrow. Oh well. I'm fully expecting this Lit class to drag down my GPA.
