It’s nice to know that I shouldn’t have bothered sending a second email inquiring over a fanlisting as the girl was too rude to send out rejection emails or close/update the adoption thread. I could’ve saved myself a week’s stress if I had seen the post from the girl who got it sooner. Thanks a bloody lot.

My day was going splendidly before that however. It’s gorgeous out, I’m very ready for spring and summer. Rain is nice and all, but I vastly prefer the storms of the desert where you see shapely dark clouds coming miles away, with thunder and lightning and then they’re gone within a couple days, to the boring pale gray skies that last for many days at a time. I love rain clouds in the sky but only when there’s form to them, different shades so you see distinct cloud shapes rather than one shade across the sky (which is very boring).

I dropped my American Government 2 class(MW) earlier today as I went yesterday and found 50% of the material will be the same thing as AG1. Since I don’t need the class and I do have many classes I do need for my GE transfer requirement, I signed up for Speech 120, interpersonal communication or some crap. At least it’s not public speaking.

And today I went to Philosophy of Religion and Conceptual Physics and I’m very excited. The Phil class was in an actual lecture room, I didn’t even know our community college had those. The teacher was super nice and sweet and seems like she’ll provide extensive and in-depth lectures. She uses big words I’m not quite always positive what they mean @_@ And my Physics class was a very tiny room with six big tables, close together, and the teacher was very friendly. He has a very enthusiastic love of Physics and proceeded to tell us his college experience and career background. I started reading the Physics book last week and it’s fascinating. So I expect these will be really tough classes but interesting enough I’ll actually do the homework. Which is a lot of reading, yay!

Homework = Reading is the best :D

Last week

My head is hurting more than it has since Tuesday. Coughing makes it worse, yay!

So the whole story of my lovely week. Sunday and Monday my throat is feeling a little sore. I enjoy cornmeal pancakes, Jon Cusack, and Ang Lee at Karen’s Monday night. I planned to get stuff done on Tuesday: cleaning house, grocery shopping, running errands. I wake up at 8 something and my head hurts like hell. I get headaches rather often (my grandma always pities me, she’s never experienced one in her life) but this was the kind that hits you with dizziness after laying down too much (which I didn’t). The area behind my ears, under my ears, my lymph nodes, and my temple are all sore. I of course fall back asleep, anything to ignore the pain.

Super laziness, I don’t get ready for the outside world until 4, shop at Safeway for the first time (freaky), and go to the last Adobe Photoshop class of the semester to enjoy loads of cookies, carrot cake, and vegetarian pizza (I only eat cheese pizza, but this was pretty good though it was Round Table). Leave after 8 instead of 9 as I’m still ehhh. Go to work on Wednesday, not too bad. Ahh but Wednesday night?

My final is at 1pm on Thursday. The doors to Popscene open at 10pm and we were gonna leave town at 7. I go to bed Wednesday night at 11, set my alarm for 9:30. I don’t actually fall asleep until after 1am, oh joy. Ten minutes til 3am my sister wakes me up. She’s talking so loud that from the other side of the house in my mother’s room it sounds like she’s standing right next to me. It takes me 4 tries to yell “shut up”. She’s saying “it’s 7:15″ and I proceed to go to her room and say “it’s not fucking 7:15! it’s 3 in the morning!!”. She yells back drunk as hell that her car wouldn’t start and she had to walk home from Downtown Joe’s. I shouldn’t even be bitching because she has to get up earlier than me (at 7:15 apparently). Ugh.

I don’t fall back asleep until after 4 and I wake up again 3 times. Ok, so come to the final within a few minutes of being handed the test some workers on the roof started banging around and making all sorts of noise. Ah but it gets better! Being in a nice lovely stale and stifling classroom, my throat tickles. I had to step outside before I interrupted everyone else. Of course it started back up once I went back inside. So I spent a good 10 minutes just staring at my desk trying not to cough or choke. Not fun.

But the piece prize is yet to come. Thankfully, my date with Louis XIV was the same night as the christmas party for my mom’s work. Oh darn.

I apparently never finished writing this post. But what the hell, I’ll publish what’s there.
