Preemptive excuses
There's no way I'm going to get a chapter done in the next week (which would be a month after the last posting), so I thought I'd get to my excuses early. I'm a little more than halfway through the next OWS chapter, but it's slow going with homework getting in the way. *sigh* Can I tell you how much I wish school was done with? It's Intermediate Accounting I and Statistics this term, and they aren't friendly.
My life otherwise...
Well, I had a birthday the other week (thank you for the birthday wishes from those who remembered). I'm not a big birthday person, and since it's mostly just another day for me, I didn't do anything exciting. ehcnalava was in town that week, and though she tried to convince me to partake in grander plans, I've been too stressed to handle anything more than delivery Chinese and a chance to get homework done. Hopefully we'll do something more eventful whenever we go to see KOOZA... though Cirque du Soleil is always eventful enough for me. ;)
I tried to quit from Starbucks this week since I thought I'd have to take three classes next term and there is no way I'd manage to do that and work at the same time. My store manager just stared at me for several seconds, said we had to talk, and she managed to convince me that she'd only schedule me for 15hr weeks and not the 25hr+ weeks I have been getting. I'll also be working weekday mornings and no more of the closing crap I've been doing on the weekends. All around, not a bad plan - work will get me up and out of bed so that I can do school stuffs. The funny part - turns out that I'll only have to do two classes next term (I got lucky with a new cycle of the classes I need), but like hell I'm going to tell my manager that. ;)
In other frustrating news, I saw my women's doctor for a yearly and I asked her to do some bloodwork at the same time. Cholesterol has become a big thing in my family with my mother (5'2" and 98lbs) being tested and having over 300 (for those who don't know, 180 is the high limit). Her mother was the same, and then my uncle just got tested and had a count of 900! They couldn't get an exact count for him because he was so high. I haven't gotten tested in years, so I took this as a sign to look into it. Indeed, my count is 251. But my doctor, being the type she is, wants me to try dietary changes before going straight to drugs. The dietitian she sent me to is a sweetheart, thankfully, and was amused by me - most people have the issue of eating too much, while I have the issue that I don't care much about food. I eat to satisfy hunger and that's about it. =P For that reason, my albumin (protein) number was super low and I got scolded for that. We'll see if this dietary thing does anything, though I doubt it. Liptor, I see you in my future.
Hmmm, I feel like there was something else I was going to mention, but nothing is coming to mind. Will edit later if I think of something enlightening, but I should have remembered it if it was that important. ;)
