So the blergs have finally seized me... it's been waiting to happen for a long time now.  In that light, I appear to have gone and made New Year's resolutions... I NEVER do that.  I mean, I've made half-hearted lists because that's supposed to be the Thing that you Do around NYE, but never actually resolved to do anything.  So, here follows my ( Read more... )

For background on this crappy day, I introduce you to the fairly decent but quite exhausting week preceding:

It was the first week of class at UWEC, which went pretty well.  I also worked three eight-hour days at my temporary job (campus bookstore, rush week only) - two of those days were on days where I had a two-hour class right in the middle of ( Read more... )

Seventeen days, six hours, one minute until finals are over ( Read more... )

You know how we don't post about cool things that maybe-might-be happening so they don't get jinxed?

...It doesn't work.

To elaborate:

My coursework this semester has been partly based around a groups of connected classes, the common theme being the Holocaust: History, Music Literature & Appreciation, and 20th Century Literature, and a 1-credit ( Read more... )

Do you ever have one of those moments where you have something to squee about, and you have something to mope about, and the two things just cancel each other out, leaving you completely blank emotion-wise?  That's me right now.

ETA: something went wrong with the "post entry" interface, so forgive & ignore the extra (second) poll.  And the partial ( Read more... )

Or, in other words: OMG PANIC!!!

Had my first car accident.  Meep.  The car is unharmed, and I'm a bit rattled but I'll recover.

This is what comes of being up before dawn.  You get up, stumble around a bit, get all dressed up in your new lacy goth skirt, pack your makeup and book and fluffy blankie in the car, and hit the road after only a few sips ( Read more... )

Just wrote an entry.  Lost it.  Don't know how.  Said entry had to do with the various things not going well, foremost being nasty knotty hurty shoulders and a really bad headache, wanting to take a nap but being too busy (not to mention the inside of my head being too noisy), needing to research a speech I need to give on Monday, and all this (and ( Read more... )

Let's start with the totaled car, shall we?  My dad got into an accident yesterday afternoon, in an unfortunate combination of tired driver and cruise control.  He's fine, as is my 7-year-old cousin who was in the back seat.  The car, however, is not.

The front end is pretty crunched up from when they went into the ditch, the rear...  well, it ( Read more... )

So there was this cute little frog on my window all day.  He was one of the funny grey-green mottledy tree frogs that can squish themselves really flat to look like lichen.  When I first saw him this morning, I thought it was a leaf or something.  But no.  Froggy.  Sitting on the outside sill-thingy on the window by my computer, leaning against the ( Read more... )

Well, the ACT's just kicked my ass.
