STRESS
I had a good weekend. Yesterday ended up having good and bad parts. But I am so stressed that I am tempted to ditch class today (which is something for me... not that I'll do it). I'm also tempted to just give up on school. But I won't. Ugh. Sometimes I hate being a good student and actually caring about school and assignments. It makes life so much more stressful. Sometimes I wish I could just not care.
Here is my up and down day yesterday:
Down: Woke up with a sore throat and a bruised toe. I thought the sore throat would go away, but it turned into an itchy/dry-feeling throat and is still present this morning.
Up: I was able to get up and spend the morning cuddling with Shane. :) Saturday night's dance was SO much fun and we were just so frickin' lovey dovey yesterday.
Down: I worked on homework for awhile, but did slack off too. I wrote a paper for my Religion in the US class that's due today and it SUCKED. I still think it sucks. I may re-write the whole thing. This is the class that she loved my other paper enough to keep the copy for an example. Yeah, now I feel like how can I live up to that? Ugh. Stress.
Down: Due to this stress, I totally bitched at Shane for no apparent reason. It was not a good time.
Up: After my bitching, Shane and I headed over to Erin's and spent some time there before she left for a concert in the city. :) I got a picture of Erin and I that I will post at the bottom of this post!
Up: After leaving Erin's in a somewhat better mood, Shane and I went to Lifetime and worked out. This put me in a MUCH better mood, actually. I love working out and I love Lifetime. :)
Up: I came back and worked on more homework until Shane got home from his friend, Brian's, house. He picked me up and we went to Walgreens to get me some cough drops. The guy working remembered Shane AND remembered me (well that I went to Neuqua). He thought I was someone else though, haha.
Up: We went back to Shane's and watched his Law and Order: SVU DVDs. We just cuddled and stuff. It was lots of fun. :)
Down: After those, I got stressed again suddenly and had Shane drive me home.
Up: WHITE SOX WON AND ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! I realize I am totally jumping on the Sox bandwagon because I live in Chicago, but I don't care. I went to a game earlier (where they lost) and thus can be. Haha.
I am so stressed though. Hence the reason I woke up this early. I have to eat breakfast and take FOREVER to get ready this morning. Then edit my questions and print those out for my Intro to World Religions class, edit or re-write my paper for my other class, and then work on other homework. Eat a really early lunch and then head to campus to make a copy of that article and read it. I'm not looking forward to this because I feel like such a slacker doing it. At least my class isn't until 2:40, so it won't look SO bad. Even though MY first class (of 3 in a row) is at noon, so really, it is bad.
Then I'm going to go read that article in the library before class. Then I have to present my (horrible) paper in Religion in the US. Then I have my other two classes, one of which I have to talk to my group about what the hell we're doing. It's already week 6. Eek.
Then after class, I am going to try to talk to Dr. Kelley and get reimbursed for the refreshments I bought last week for the Psi Chi speaker. He better be there. I'm out 16 bucks cuz of him.
I was going to stay on campus until 6 when we're having our Psi Chi Movie Night, but I think I'm going to head home and have dinner and stuff and then head back to campus for the Movie Night. We'll watch Garden State and talk about stuff and have a little meeting with those that show up. Hopefully we won't be there too late. I don't want to miss Laguna again, but I'm sure I will. Hopefully I'll be home in time to catch that Miss Seventeen show with idance487's cousin! :)
I'll be so happy when today is over.
And now, for a few pictures:
Ok, the first one is the last homecoming picture I have for now. It's the one that the people take as you get onto the Spirit of Chicago. Shane bought it for me for 20 bucks with Chris' help, haha. Anyway, it's a good picture of Chris, Ash, and I but Shane's off to the side and looks pissed off. It's classic. We totally scanned it and sent other copies to Ash. Haha.
And for the record, I am wearing like 3 or 4 inch heels in most of the homecoming pictures. I'm not really THAT much taller than Shane.
And then... here's one of me and Erin from yesterday. I look like such a fat slacker, but it's ok:
And finally... there's this house in Shane's neighborhood (Ashbury) that gets way too excited when decorating for holidays. The worst is Halloween and Christmas. Their whole yard and house is covered with stuff. We drove by and took a picture of it all decorated for Halloween last night. Though I had my camera on night mode so it's sensitive to movement and thus the picture is just a tad blurry. You guys will get the idea though. It's crazy.
Feel free to comment! :)
