Tiredness is Quite Evident in My Life

Work 9-5. It was steady, then hectic, then slow, then busy. At least I got some homework done. As always, though, I could always do more. Once, just once, I would like to NOT have anything to do at all. But alas, that doesn't happen. Oh well....

Better go to bed, I've been tired all day and I have a little bit of a headache.

I Never Seem to do Enough Homework

Seriously, my afternoon was so productive, and yet it's not enough! It's never enough....

My day was eh. Woke up too late, watched a movie and did math AT THE SAME TIME, worked 3-6, played Farmville, listened to music, attempted to find a good photographer and contemplated the universe. Okay, so I didn't really do the last part. Maybe I should tomorrow....

Yeah, sorry, I have nothing exciting to report. Only 50 days until Urbana 09. 19 days until Thanksgiving break. So can't wait.

Well, maybe I should turn off my computer soon; I do NOT want to be up at midnight tonight!

Cuidado, ¡hay una abeja en la salon de clase!

So, today started okay, woke up later than normal, but I guess I've been sleep-deprived.

Then Spanish class was very eventful at the beginning. We had a few presentations, and towards the end of Ted's presentation, Justine notices that there's a bee on Becca's shoulder. Naturally, half the class freaks out, it flies around then goes up to the ceiling. Ted finishes his presentation and as CJ gives his, the bee flies down, lands on his forehead, then flies around him. He walks around various areas in the classroom, but the bee kept following him (he was wearing a yellow shirt). So, our teacher tells CJ to come back and finish his presentation, and if the bee comes close, she'll get it. CJ comes up, bee flies by him and lands on the projection screen, our teacher grabs the textbook, whacks the bee, the bee falls down and our teacher steps on it. We applauded, and Señora held up the textbook and said "Another way to use your book". My thoughts exactly. Anyway, that's what's with my title (Look out, there's a bee in the classroom!"). The rest of Spanish was uneventful.

I went to a stamping party with my mom to make Christmas cards. I made 19, she made 20. I've never been more ashamed in my life. ; ) Just kidding. Normally I make more, but oh well. It was fun, regardless.

After that, watched a movie, and am contemplating going to bed real soon. Can't wait to sleep in, though homework will probably resemble a nightmare this weekend. How I'm going to manage my time, I have no idea....

Oh, and today was Guy Fawkes Day! Makes me want to go to England.... Again.

Saved from Sandwiches by the Panda

I did not have sandwiches today for lunch! Instead, my family took me out to Panda Express! It was delicious. Anyway, that explains the title.

Now, to the rest of my day. Photo was okay, did some spotting (which is when you use a brush or special pen marker and try to cover up dust spots), it wasn't my favorite thing to do. Math was okay, meeting with math teacher was fine. Astronomy was fine. I'm so ready for break right now. Found out what will/will not transfer to Taylor. It was nice.

Also, last night I got to chat with a friend via Gmail, which was quite wonderful. And I know I say "a friend" a lot; sometimes I mention names, sometimes I don't. I do know that some people do have some issues with having names on other peoples' blogs and stuff (even though I'd never post last names). It depends.

Okay, real tired, got to go.

Accepted: Part 2

Today was okay. Spanish was fine, I kept having issues, I always embarrass myself big time in that class. Oh well, only 10 more class periods, then the final. Wow, that sounds weird. I got an email from Urbana today and I'm suddenly even more excited; 53 days! That sounds weird, too.

Oh, and I got a voicemail message saying I've been accepted to Trinity International University. I should be really excited about this, but... I'm not. I'm not sure why. Maybe part of it is, after my first acceptance letter, the second one is not quite as important? Well, okay, it is important, but not as big of a deal, I guess. Also, Trinity is my second choice, not my first, however, it has a MUCH better reputation of giving good financial aid packages than Taylor. So now my chances of going to Taylor are slim right now. I know everything will work out somehow if I'm meant to be at Taylor, but I do need to be realistic. I know I said I'd be happy at either college, but.... Well, I'd like to get away. I'm kind of sick of this area. I don't know. I'm so looking forward to a year from now when I'll look at this post and laugh at my former self for not seeing God's plan. But I'm not at that point yet, so.... Meh.

Well, I better finish my homework and wrap stuff up and try to wind down a little. It may be another midnight night....

Why Can't My Mind Focus On This Week?

I mean, seriously, my mind has already jumped to Thanksgiving break, past Thanksgiving break, onto Christmas break! It's so hard to concentrate on anything else.

Anyway, photo was okay. Assignment was due, overall fine. There were some constructive criticisms and one picture my professor thought looked really good (even saying it was a good example of what a good picture would look like). But of course, do I dwell on compliments like that when I look back? Nope, I mostly think about the criticisms. I'm such a perfectionist. At least I remember compliments in math class. Speaking of math, I got a perfect score on my math quiz! Okay, so it was only worth 10 points and almost everyone in the class got a perfect score, but it's still kinda cool.

I saw MK at school, it was her birthday today so I got to give her a birthday hug. Yes, I recognize that these events are not in chronological order, but I'm too tired to care right now. It will remain a mystery forever.

Astro was okay, got to go outside, neat but cold. At least we're not in Alaska; it's 10 degrees up there!

Um.... Over the course of the day I finally watched all of "Grease". I need to see it again with someone who appreciates it and can give me some insight, because it really bugged me. I totally wanted to slap Danny Zuko in the face and tell him to grow up (though there's no denying that John Travolta is an amazing dancer) and I wanted to tell Sandy that she is already cute and that there is no need to dress or act like a tramp (a very polite way of saying what my impression of her clothes at the end of the film was). *sigh* I am a strange human being.

Well, I'm getting close to midnight, so I better sign off. Later, all. Can't wait for this semester to be over....

Daylight Savings Time Ends; Yay!

Yes, despite the fact that my internal clock is all messed up, I was very happy to get my extra hour of sleep! My body thinks it's midnight now, but it's actually 11:08pm, so ha! Speaking of which, I was asleep (or trying to sleep) at midnight! Yay! So hopefully I can go to bed early. Yes, it's sad when 11:30 pm is considered going to bed "early".

Anyway, I did not wake up early enough for church (I know, shameful). I went to work, which was really hectic. I was tired and cranky all day and sometimes it was hard not to strangle people. Bible study was good, lovesick couples are not good. I don't why they bug me so much. Married couples don't bother me for the most part, just dating couples. Okay, so not EVERY dating couple; there have actually been a few couples that are actually normal and have an actual life and hang out with friends besides their partner (shocker, I know). Those are the dating couples I like. The ones that make me want to gag are the ones that are practically attached to the hip and give disgusting goo-goo eyes and won't stop the PDA.... Unfortunately, that group makes up a large percentage of the couples that I see. And being the cynical person sometimes, I get this feeling (and these days I'm usually right) that most likely those couples who are all lovey-dovey and gooey and gross will eventually break up and all those feelings, time, etc will have all be wasted. And yet, despite all that disgusting stuff, I really really really want a boyfriend. *sigh* Only not the way I describe. Please, to all who know me, if you see me doing any of the weird stuff I described above with any guy-HIT ME HARD. All right, enough about the relationship rant. That's just been a touchy topic for me lately.

I got some homework done, didn't watch Grease yet, maybe tomorrow in between classes. Right now I NEED to hit the sack. Adios.
