My first week in DC, I get an earthquake and a hurricane.

I have never been through a hurricane before. We might get power outages lasting 3-5 days, and I have no idea how to handle that. I'm going to stock up on non-perishable food tomorrow, but my microwave, stove, and oven are all electric, so I doubt I'll be able to cook anything ( Read more... )

So today was my 23rd birthday. Not been the best birthday I've ever had. I made plans to go have pizza and drinks with some friends, but everyone ended up canceling on me. Everyone. I probably should not have tried for plans on a Thursday night, even if the Thursday is my actual birthday ( Read more... )

So many things have been happening. I'd been intending to post a lot more when I was in Ireland, but I ended up too busy to spend much time on the internet, and I'm...not really going to complain about that. Because Ireland was awesome and gorgeous and a week was not enough time, except that it was also expensive so it's just as well that I only ( Read more... )

Bugger. Today I went to the Apple store to see what they could do about my internet, and the person I saw there said there did not seem to be a hardware issue but maybe it was that my airport was set to US frequencies. So she expanded my frequencies to international ones and I hoped it was fixed, but when I went back to the school building and ( Read more... )

Finally home. Well, I got home on Thursday night after what was probably the worst of my drives to and from school. It rained throughout Washington and Oregon, and then the sun set not long after I got into California, so I had to do the worst road in the dark. Two-lane highway in the middle of a forest with snow on the side of the road in the ( Read more... )

( School sucks )

Had my first day of work today. 9:30 to 5:00. I'm also scheduled tomorrow and Sunday for 7-8 hour shifts, then nothing for the rest of the week. Of course weekends are a theater's busiest times, and they told me in the beginning they weren't going to schedule me too many days until I proved I was actually going to show up, but right now I'm ( Read more... )

It's almost three in the morning and I can't sleep. I feel hot and not tired and actually sort of sick. This past weekend I've done so little it's not even funny, but I just didn't feel up to doing anything that required actual brain power. Gah ( Read more... )

I am so tired. Pretty much all day I have wanted nothing more than to just go back to sleep. Right now I'm having difficulty staying awake, even though it's not even ten yet and I never go to bed this early ( Read more... )

Back at school. Gah. I hate flying. It's like being drunk without having the fun of drinking something first. Throughout the entire flight, I was at that stage of "I'm going to puke, but not yet", which is always awful. I've never liked flying, but somehow that was one of my worst recent flights, despite being pretty smooth and fairly short ( Read more... )
