Update
I've been wanting to update for a while now, but seeing as how I'm either too lazy, too busy, or just not in the mood, there hasn't been much veg writing. There's been a lot going on lately and I feel that I'd better capture what I'm going through right now before I find myself wandering again.
The trip to Vegas left me exhausted today. It put me in a more snappish mood all weekend, but Steven was probably the only one who got the blunt force of the annoying me. I wouldn't mind doing it again because it was nice being able to see Debra and hang out with her for a weekend. I really like my aunt and uncle's place; it's small but homey. I feel bad not being able to properly thank them before I left, but playing poker and drinking Hypnotic all night has got to take a toll on the body at some point. We need to be able to figure out how to get her back for a longer amount of time.
I am finishing up my play writing class and it makes me sad. I really like SAC's theatre group, or at least the cool kids from my class. They really like my plays; it makes me feel all the better writer and gives me hope that I might actually one day be able to hone my skills well enough to publish. That would be the dream. I am anticipating the coming weeks because my professor will be emailing the class to let us know which plays will be produced for next year's Winter show. I would definitely love to see that. We read a couple of plays today, one of them being my last one. People laughed. I shivered because I was cold. The class left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Going to the vet's this morning felt like trying to think really hard with a hang over. I was fatigued and it doesn't help that, despite a failing economy, people still show up to the office in hoards. I especially love some of the stories people try to give us: "I won't get money until next week so can I just add this balance to my already existing bill?" or my personal favorite, "I'm friends with the neighbors of the cousin of one of your long time clients. Can I get a discount?" People need to stop buying animals if they can't afford them. Not only that, I think it's ridiculous seeing low-income Mexican guys spending their tax returns on ear crops for their Pit bulls. Just awful. Anyway, this morning was greeted with an emergency from the kennels down the street; one of the dogs was suffering from hypothermia. Unfortunately, a Spanish-speaking cleaning lady and I are the only ones there until about 9, leaving me trying to put an IV into a dog whose veins had constricted so as to preserve the vital organs. Not only that, her body temperature was so low the thermometer couldn't make a reading. I was finally able to get a reading of 84 degrees about 4 hours after it came in; the normal temperature for a dog ranges from 100-103. And her tongue felt like ice. I hope she's still alive tomorrow.
I'm upset that I lost points on a calculus test because I simplified an integral when I didn't need to simplify. That's stupid.
I got accepted into SLO. I'm excited. Honestly, I'm at a sort of loss for words because it just seems like such a long time before I'm able to get up there. But at least this gives me something to do; now I can spend my spring vacation planning out where to live, what to take, and what I plan to do with my car.
I love planning.
