A King With No Kingdom...
So, instead of going out and getting hammered on my Saturday night, I am sitting here writing in my LiveJournal at 1 AM. I'm really ok with it. I'm tired, I got out this afternoon and went pumpkin picking with Danny, Lucy, and Dave, and spending my evening laying around doing nothing never really bothers me. I haven't written in here in a long time, and I figured that tonight would be as good a night as any to write in it. So here I am.
I will say, I am a little bit disappointed about not playing any beer pong this weekend. As most of you know, I'm not really a big drinker. I pretty much only drink a significant amount when I play beer pong. I haven't played in a while, and it seemed like a good weekend to get some ponging in. The plan was to play last night, but then it turned out to be the lamest party I have been to in a long time (to be fair, I haven't been to many, but either way, it was awful), and they didn't have cups for it, and so there was no beer pong played. I really could care less that the party sucked, I didn't really expect much. But the fact that I didn't get to play any beer pong there was like salt in an open wound. There was some talk of playing today, but plans fell through quickly, especially because I was too lazy to try to make them.
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, maybe it is actually better that I didn't end up doing any real drinking this weekend. I have been really stressed out for the last couple weeks, mostly as a result of the massive pileup of schoolwork I had as the result of a wonderfully long-lasting sinus infection that had me floored for over a week. It's likely that sitting around doing nothing and relaxing was the best course of action for me for the weekend, especially as this week will be a rough patch before I find a little room to breath next weekend. Of course, I just remembered I have 2 exams coming up, so maybe I will just never be out of the 'rough patch'. I suppose that comes with being a TAMmer.
Outside of school, the most stressful thing happening is the housing situation. Basically, we don't have anywhere to live next year. And we really need to look into it soon, because housing goes FAST here. Sadly, I don't think we're all really on the same page. The original plan was to find a house. I still think it would be cool to get a house, however, I think they're hard to find, and we've probably just waited too long to get a good one. I don't want to hold out for a house and skip looking into apartments only to not get a house and finding out that the only apartments left open are shitholes. Part of the problem is that we're all really busy, and with me being so sick for a while and then getting swamped, I have been especially useless in the search. I don't need to find some super-swanky joint that is all fancy. But where we live now is pretty decent I think, and I would prefer to not have to downgrade for my last year of school. I also don't want to get stuck living really far away just to avoid living in a dump. Hopefully we can get this resolved soon, because it's been sitting on the back burner just kind of eating away at me for a while, and I want it gone. The more I think about it, the more I realize this really bothers me and is a major cause of stress.
Kind of crappy that I started writing this to relax a little more, as I hadn't written in a while, and now I'm actually a lot more stressed out than I was before.
