In which Tala is no longer so bored
After my life has been a dead-like haze these past couple of weeks, at last I get some excitement.
Granted, it meant I had to wake up at 10:00 for a dentist appointment. (Yes, 10:00, woe is me. Hey, I wake up at 1:00 when left to my own devices.) I won't bore you with the details but apparently I'm really lucky. While I do have wisdom teeth growing, it's only in my upper jaw -where there's space, and they're growing straight. And that means? I won't have to get them pulled out!! YES! Okay, so maybe there's a tiny chance that something will mess up and they'll grow in at an angle, but it's unlikely. I'm trying to be positive here.
My mom then took me shopping, which ended as a great success. Project "Include More Colour in Tala's Wardrobe" has officially begun and I am so happy about it. As much as those high school angst years were great, I think I went overkill on the red and black. *coughs* And I love how Christmas sales still persist. I don't think I paid full price on any of the shirts I purchased. :D
I finally found a cameo for my grad gift (only, like, +six months late?). It's made of amber, but frankly, it's not all that obvious. It's the size I want it, and the metalwork isn't too heavy. Plus, it's original. .... And it's two hundred dollars. >.> Yeah, this is precisely why it's a grad gift. I like it very muchly but I'm still gonna keep my eyes peeled for an actual Victorian England-esque cameo. There's also a couple rings that I really liked, but they're on sale so I can afford them with my own money. :)
And geez, I seriously haven't bought manga in ages. I was so over-whelmed at Renaud-Bray. "GAH, TOO MANY SERIES TO CATCH UP ON. *FLAIL*" To boot, I need (used loosely) to get a new mp3 player. More precisely, I need to amass a hundred bucks between now and the 22nd. Which is possible, I'd just have to forgo other things (except DBSK merchandise, I flat out REFUSE). *headdesk* Budgeting sucks.
Dear job,
I need you.
Love, Tala.
And I'm seeing my daughter next week, yays~! Before anyone freaks, she's not my actual daughter. The short story is I went to college, met strange people, and now have an ex-husband and custody of two of the kids. Said children are from Hubby's previous marriage and did I mention that Hubby is a she? ANYWAY. Seeing my daughter next week when I register.
I recently discovered (because Tala is a lazy ass who doesn't check her student account as often as she should) that my non-prescheduled program isn't as non-preschduled as I thought. 5/8 classes are out of my hands and if I luck out and the classes I want are available, my schedule won't be too shabby:
- The latest I ever finish would be 5:30 (omfg YES).
- If I ever get my first Wednesday class cancelled, I only have to go in for 4:00 (megawin).
- In reverse order, if my last class is cancelled, I finish at 12:30. I just love win-win situations.
- I have one afternoon class on Fridays, and if that's cancelled, guess what~ (THREE DAY WEEK-END)
However:
- Mondays would be murder. I'd start at 8:00, end at 3:30. No breaks in between. The silver lining is I'd have Mythology, History, and Geo. Intro to Political Science may be fun, the Macro... I'm not so sure.
- Because of the Friday class, I can't take Pilates for Gym. :(
- I'd have to wake up at 5:30 three out of five days, but that happened last semester too, so I consider myself used to it.
Lastly, on a writing note: my muses are being wtf. I've been bombarded and I think I'm going to have to list the bunnies. Sadly, I haven't done much actual writing. I started writing out a fanfic chapter really well, but then cabin fever sucked the life from it. As for my nano-turning-publishable-novel... Cal -my head muse- and my inner-editor are having a death match. See, my female lead was supposed to die at the end (this isn't just me being an angsty bitch, there's a crapload of messages and morals in this thing -all unintentional scarily enough). That's my muse's position. My inner-editor on the other hand is saying if I want to sell, that gal needs to live.
*whine* But... argh. *headscreen*
I really don't get why I'm so insanely happy at the moment. :'D
