I Despise Cold Winter Air

I am having difficulty typing this. Only my right hand can type well. The left hand can only use a couple of fingers, since this hand is wrapped with an Ace bandage. I did not sprain, strain, break or seriously injure my hand. The bandage is merely there to hold a piece of gauze in place. No, I did not cut myself on a knife or piece of glass. My skin is sensitive to the cold, dry, harsh winter air and tends to crack and bleed. Well, one crack on my skin kept reopening and bleeding, so it is getting a little TLC. It will be better in the morning, but it the meantime, it's so annoying. Once again, the idea of me moving to a warmer state sounds so nice. I hate winter.

Anyway, this is my last week of break! It has flown by! Hard to believe. Hopefully I will REALLY be able to enjoy it!!!

First Post of 2011

Oops, I have slacked in my promise to update this more. Sorry.

But then, maybe that's a good thing. Other than getting together with friends, my brother's birthday yesterday and working, I really haven't done much. So you would have mostly heard riveting tales of me cleaning my room or sleeping or browsing the Web. I've been very lazy and also... bored. I know I shouldn't be bored, or at least, I should be happy that I'm bored, but it's so annoying! Argh! Well, I shouldn't worry about this too much. I have quite a bit to do next week. Some of the errands are fun, some are not very fun.

Last Day of 2010

Happy New Year, everyone!!! Wow, I can't believe 2010 is almost over. Hopefully 2011 will be fantastic.

I'm not big into New Year's Resolutions, but I do have one: Update this thing more often!!! ;) I seriously slacked for the past few months. Though updating it every day isn't great either. I mean, if the ONLY thing I did that day was laundry or cleaning my room, who wants to read about that??? I wouldn't, unless it was told like an epic adventure tale. And normally, I wouldn't have the energy to do that. So maybe finding a balance would be the right way to put it.

My excitement tonight was watching "The Fellowship of the Ring". Not as cool as worshipping God with 16,000 other people, but it was still fun nonetheless. I'm not sure yet how late to stay up. I always stay up to midnight, maybe I'll stay up until 2am??? Who knows.

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! I hope you all had a good day with family and took time to reflect on the many blessings in your life!

Whoa, It's October

Yes, VERY belated, but so hard to believe that it is October. Time is flying so fast.

Today was fine. I had my Piano midterm, it was okay. Found out on Sunday that I got a 97% on my Precalculus exam! Woo hoo!!! I was happy about that. Fiction was all right. Need to get cracking on studying for that midterm.

Most of today was up and down, spent at school and contemplating major life decisions. No big deal.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2010

Ahoy mateys! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! All right.... That's the extent of my Pirate....

I'm not sure whether I'm feeling better or not. I'm a little less congested but my cold is starting to move from my nose down to my chest. Yuck! Time to break out the Mucinex. So happy I survived the weekend (somewhat), but dreading school. Dreading it. I'll have to find a way to make it somewhat enjoyable. But we'll see. Is the semester over yet?

Updates on the Craziness of Life

I can't believe I'm one month into the Fall semester. Time is flying so fast!

So, here's my overall view on my classes:

Piano: Getting better. My teacher is still strict, but at least she seems a little nicer, and she told me that she appreciates that my willingness to succeed, which is good. This won't be as much of a breeze as Piano I was, but it's still fun so far.

Fiction: My least favorite class. My teacher is okay, not fantastic, but not terrible. The class itself isn't great, because it's so boring and most of the stories are so-so. So now I'm considering whether I still want to be an English major or not. I'm so confused. And I think my classmates are statues. Really. Nobody talks to anyone else. It's so frustrating. Most of my classmates are quiet (though not as quiet as me), but seriously, this is bad. Normally there's at least ONE person that I can talk to. Not here, at least, not yet. At least I should do well on the papers, as long as I work hard.

Music: Pretty good. Very interesting. My teacher is likable, he's good. He (like my English teacher) REALLY tries to get us to talk, but it's not a very hostile environment, so it's fine.

Precalculus: Both my favorite class and the class that's going to kill me. When I understand it, it's pretty fun and a good challenge. When I don't understand it, then it's frustrating and confusing. Thankfully, my teacher is stellar and has been great at helping me out and answering my many, many, many, many, many questions. Opinions on students are all right, one person who is nice, most of the classmates I don't talk to but seem slightly more sociable, a couple of guys who drive me nuts and one who ALWAYS comes late. I had an exam for this class on Thursday, though, so I'm not feeling too confident in my abilities right now! :-/

Work is going well still, so busy, though. Unfortunately, I am currently sick with a cold. Yesterday I felt TERRIBLE, it was not fun at ALL; my head felted stuffed, I couldn't breathe, my back ached, I had a mild fever-not good. But I'm feeling a *tiny* bit better now. However, I'm still "playing the snot trombone" a lot (that's a Dave Barry reference. Try to find his article "Waging Germ Warfare". So funny.)

I honestly think that's all in my life. I feel like there should be something else I should say.... Guess not!
