This weekend went quite differently than expected. It's fall break, so all of my apartment mates went home (well, Sagari went to NYC since Oman would be a silly place to go for a weekend) and I was alone in the apartment. But it wasn't going to be a big deal, because I was planning on working all weekend at the nursing home. I had gotten an email Thursday confirming I was on the schedule. But when I showed up Saturday, I realized I had been lied to, as my name was no where on the schedule. They let me stay anyway, but there wasn't really a reason to come in yesterday. As nice as it is to unexpectedly have a day off, I would've liked to get some hours in so that my paycheck in two weeks won't be completely pathetic. I can't work the next two weekends, and the whole reason I stayed in Charlottesville this weekend was to get some hours in. Ah well.
It was a good weekend anyway. Friday night some people came over, and we made a pizza and watching a movie. All of us had the same basic "I am the only one in my apartment/dorm" situation. Saturday I woke up around 10 and then sat around on the couch until 3 watching Grey's Anatomy. (I borrowed the 2nd season from Stacy.) Mind you, I'd have spent the whole day watching Grey's if not for work at 3. Around noon, I tried to stop and get some work done, but I ended up being bored by the work (shocking I now, because normally studying is just so exciting) and going back to Grey's.
Sunday I went to church, and then afterwards ate lunch with Dave and Kelly. Then I hung out a bit at Dave's and watched House (notice a theme of worthlessness in front of the television), and then went and holed myself up at the library. I am foolishly writing my thesis this semester, and I am supposed to be a third of the way through my lit review by Wednesday. Since I was about..umm...none of the way through it, I decided I should probably get started. I spent about 4 hours at the library (time I should've been at work...), and it was all very interesting oddly enough.
Today I woke up with the sole taske of studying for my Paul midterm tomorrow. Instead I have this awful headache that is making it hard to concentrate. Thus, I am really just wasting my day, yet again. I'm hoping people are coming back into town soon, as it is becoming awfully lonely. I've been reading over my notes for tomorrow, and I am now up to September 5th. Kind of pathetic.
I haven't even been outside today. I think that may be part of the reason I feel slightly miserable. Perhaps I should go take a walk. I don't even have a clue what the weather is like. Should probably remedy that.
