Invisible Ink
I finished the Nanny Diaries. It was a good book up to the last chapter. Horrible ending, IMHO. In a book like this, we want to see the heroine get vindicated, or at least for things to end up fairly, otherwise, we'd stop reading and just pay more attention to real life. Then I read the back and discovered that this was more of a satire than I thought. Which made me feel pretty cynical. I was all ready and willing to believe that these things were not only a loose interpretation of real events, but the real events themselves. But even with satire, I feel the rules of happy endings always applies.
I went and saw Mackenzie on Wednesday. It was soooo awesome! She's one month post-op and doing so much better. It really is a miracle story.
Everyone is leaving me for college. Mel leaves on Friday so we've been trying to do as many things together as possible. Like sunrise walks and movies and walks and going to the gym, lol. On Tuesday we have plans to spend our last day together (Orientation starts for me on Wednesday) by going up into Maryland and going to White Flint Mall.
I continue to have fiscal troubles. It's no fun. I can get a second job but I dont think its the smartest thing to do on fall semester of my freshman year, you know? But I think with practice, I can sort it all out.
My college stuff is all sorted. I have Geology, which my mom got her masters in so I'm hoping if the talent isnt genetic at least she can help me with it. I'm taking cryptology which is about as mathy as I'm willing to go. I have sociology which should be interesting, but from judging only by the books that came in, it's tough to say. I'm taking ballet, which actually does cover a gened, which makes me happy. I'm taking the history of Asia, too. Sounds like ti'll be good. I went to rate you professor and everyone seemed to like all of my profs but history and geology are supposed to be "not an easy a"
I am worried itll just be a glorified version of senior year in hisgh school. And by this I mean nothing but an unending supply og quizzes, tests, exams and papers. Very little room to relax and enjoy school. Enjoy life for that matter. But we'll see.
I went to the gym yesterday. There were several new girls (yay!) and my very first coach was subbing. She called me old. I mean playfully, but there was honesty there. Made me feel bad. But then I saw the Visa Champs and how some of these girls are 20 and older, and I felt better. I'm mean I'm not going to be going elite and time soon, much less competing, but it makes me feel like I'm not going to fall apart when I do something.
It was an okay day gymnastics wise. Worked on some stuff. I just need to get stronger, that's what's holding me back. We'll work on that. When I was driving home, though, my normal post-gymnastics migraine was taking a turn for the weird. I mean, my head felt about the same as it ever did on thursday nights, but it was my eyes. It felt like they were about to pop. Just the tops of the eyes and the backs. So weird. I tried to wait it out while watching the visas, but it didn't show any signs of changing, so I took some IB, but that didn't help at all. So when I went to bed I took a tramadol. And of course had the normal sleep like I took a tramadol before going to bed. This includes but isnt limited to night sweats, deeeeep sleep, then suddenly waking up at odd hours full of energy, strange dreams although not always unpleasant (like petting my dead dog who wasnt dead), and cotton mouth to last at least 24 hours. But I'd take all of that rather than popped eyeballs.
Now I need to call my neurologist and let him know some things.
Speaking of Visas, though. Where was Shawn? The talking people on NBC said that they'd talk about her later, but they never did. I mean I could have fastforwarded through it all. Huh.
I finally got my closet organizer. It makes me happier than words can describe. The only thing is, I have a tee shirt problem. I have too many. And I wear them all. I like them all. What do i do? Plastic tubs com to mind. We will see.
I'm on the last two episodes of season 4. I have some errands to run and picking up season 5 is one of them.
