Wheew! Happy Thanksgiving big Bubba world! I'm over at my granny's monopolyzing the computer. Purdy good day if I must say so, then again it's been a good week as well. Hanging out with dah Momma and chilling. There was a full force avoidance of homework up until this afternoon when the panic snuck in. Praise that that is there will only be one week more of classes when I get back. It'll be action packed and stressful I'm sure, but there will only be one before exams. Then I'll slip back into worthlessness like an old glove.

I finished my JET application so yours truly might be going back over the big blue to help teach English in Japan. Yes... that was a very strong might. My archaeology presentation is going to suck but hey! that's my fault since I don't care and am very apathetic and cranky when it comes to work. I hate waiting to do it all though. Too much of too much involved at this point. I know my archaeology final project and anthro and the body group project are going to suck and be borderline passing grades... and knowing is half the battle right? ;)

I read the fifth Harry Potter this week, and was disappointed. So now I'm looking for praising and bashing articles to back up my own opinions. I liked some parts but overall it just felt like a blah. Very disappointing I'm afraid. But then again I couldn't put it down until I was finished, so the addiction is still there. I don't know where to go with these contrasting notions either. Hence why I am on the search for reviews.

I hope you're having a good Turkey Day mistress Carrie! ;)
Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll my loooooooooooooooooooooove!!!
:D :D :D

I am still toiling... kinda. I have less work but I can't make the stress disappear. It's like my body needs it to defunction now. Suckness. I have work I'll need to do over break - bleh. And tonight I'm taking my Latin test - more bleh. But for the most part things are controlled, I just can't wait until the end of this week is all.

Well I am stressing about registering before the end of this semester... but that situation is looking more and more out of my hands and into those of merciless fate and forgetful fathers. Cross your fingers for it to happen within the next four days.

I have been writing up me arse! Something fierce I tell you. I'm alive, I just don't feel like getting on AIM much and I would get on while I'm at work but I've been working. Sorry to make you worry, I don't want you getting any extra gray hairs because I'm slack. :(

I got the rough draft of my big paper done, it's sitting at about 11 pages until I panic or decide to finish it up. My presentation on it is this upcoming Thursday. I have another presentation this week on Monday in my Chem Lab. I'm in Guion right now keeping Nausheena company. She's been running this reaction since 10 am. Now that's something!!! 0.o
I've been productive here too. I wrote an essay for my creative writing class about flying to and from Australia, very ranty. And I made my power point presentation for Monday, complete with drum rolls and cash register noises. :}

I bought a ticket to head up and visit Amanda from the 13th to the 17th. There's a special U2 exhibit at the Rock Hall that I must see before I die! Momma wanted to see it too, but with her work schedule and ticket prices we couldn't find anything that fit. So I'm going and will buy stuff and tell her all about it. Maybe sneak some pictures with my phone. ;)

One week until Thanksgiving! Then one final week of classes and then whaddya know! FINALS! That means that I actually only have 6 more of my MWF classes and 4 more of my TR classes. I can't say I'm upset. :P

LOL I can't believe you got shit, you don't run into walls though. You're pretty stable as far as I can tell. Then again I'm not really a jerk outloud so asshole doesn't fit me either. They're online quizzes and fun to waste time with! :D Which I most certainly did, my paper is due tomorrow and I have 9 pages. It's supposed to be 15-20 but I'm turning in a rough draft so it's allowed to be a little short... say by 5 pages. So I think I'll be alright, I still have plenty to talk about and then analyze.

Something I waited a little too long on was handing out recommendations. I want to apply for the JET program and go help Japanese kids English. The application is due Dec 5th, so I need to give out those recommendations TODAY but I don't have envelopes, so I need to steal some. And then call Arcadia to have them send my transcripts directly to the program. Err, I think I waited on this because subconsciously I don't want to go. Not yet at least. I just got home and in the next year I'll leave again? Good grief. I dunno, it would be awesome but I'm not ready for life after graduation. Not even close. :p

Man I thought I'd be cooler than this...


your asshole.


What swear word are you?

Please carry mace or something, learn some boxing moves. What it is with the weirdos coming out this year? I know when I think Fredericksburg - crime is not scurrying along behind. And why did this attacker dude have someone with him? Was he drunk? Who knows, goddamn mental cases running around with them there crazy ideas in their heads. Scary shit chica.

I feel dead, physically and mentally. I just don't have much omph left in me. I spent this afternoon running around trying to meet with teachers and turn in assignments. It blew. Now I'm at work where I'm supposed to be working on my big 15/20 page paper for the next 3 hours, along with a little Latin. But I just don't feel like it. I know I'm being a sissy whiner but WHO CARES! I'm cranky and upset and stressed. I wanted to stay home this weekend and not come back at all because all I have here are deadlines and people who bitch as much as I do. It's all very negative and bitchy in Sweetville.

This computer is freaking out on me. I'm burning the new Pete Yorn CD and it's making all kinds of crazy sounds. Whoa.

Now hopefully I have today's rantings out of me, or a little bit. I don't want to be all grouchy and mean but it's not going away fast enough. I need that nice week long break we have coming, only two weeks to go.

On the bright side this weekend was fun! Mom and I went to the Science Museum to watch the eclipse and talk to astronomy buffs. Also watch hyperactive little boys worry their moms and throw ice around. Then we saw the Matrix Revolutions, which I know has been getting bad reviewers but... I liked it. So take that! Justin wanted more fighting but I was happy with my one super gun happiness scene, me and the guns. Pah Pow!

Well I'll say that I should go work on my paper but truly I know it'll be another 15 mins before I do. I figure starting on it at 2 will be a good idea, and I need to get that Latin translation in there. That will be much later though, oh much later. ;)

I slept ok, no nightmares, certainly no Brad, and I haven't vomited since Oct THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! One little essay down! Now just tonight's homework, one more little essay, one big paper, one presentation, and one take-home exam to hit up before Thanksgiving!! Celebrate! Celebrate!

I just thought I should honor my one small step for Brandy-kind. I'm worth it baby.

Grrr. Who thought of getting up this early? I mean does anyone really enjoy the mornings when you haven't slept well?? NO! I could be happy and perky if I had gone to bed early and slept continously through the whole night. But I'm being realistic here, and it ain't gonna happen. Today I meet with Prof Durham about my big paper - let's hope she helps me out!

Oh yes and send prayers in regard to my Latin translation. It needs help, lots and lots.

I missed Fall in Australia. I like to walk on as many leaves as possible to hear them crunch, I've gotten to the point when I can tell whether a leaf is going to give a really good crunch or not so I can anticipate the joy. It's fun. :)

I'm not really feeling this way, I just saw it and thought it looked funny. Plus I didn't know what it meant so I learned something else new today!

As did you I'm sure ;D

Worduh. I headed on up to UVA today and had a really good time! :D I went up with Sascha and Karen to do some research and homework. It's fun checking out different environments like that. Except there's one floor in the Clemons Lib (I think that's its name) that is deathly silent, I mean deathly. I was slightly creeped out, I need a little background noise, but hell I'm the girl doing her homework to the TV and the radio/CDs. GO TRIPLE J! Shameless plug I know but that station ROCKS my socks. WNRN/S here in almost as good but there's something 'bout them Ozzies.

Anyways, I was very productive in getting some books about those Japanese and their gift wrapping and read some articles about exchange. Economic journals are kinda boring though, if I must say so. ;) Translated Lucretius and his crazy Nature of Things, now I just need to go stare at some tombstones some more for Archaeology and I'll be set to a point. :)

Oh - I've been having nightmares and sleeping with the lights on. Last night I coulda sworn I heard a voice but it might have been me mumbling and waking myself up. Still scared me. I'm not remembering the nightmares, just waking up disturbed and not being able to sleep. I'm still such a baby.
