Month: September 2012

  • Medicine didn’t help me sleep. It made me more tired, but I thrashed and it took me a long time to fall asleep similar to the 3 AM night. So I woke up exhausted today (getting just 5-6 hours a sleep each night for several nights will do that to you). Went to class, came back and went to sleep for some more fitful snoozes. Was going to see if I could go to Leonard’s with Allison since we had Social cancelled, but he never responded.

    My throat continues to bug me more and more. I’m starting to cough, my nose is being dumb and my head is angry with the world.

    Gotta keep going. Working at 4. Sleeping over at Jacob’s parent’s house so I can be back at work at 8 am on Saturday. I’m tired of the inconsiderate scheduling.

  • - Ad Block Plus is very nice. No more ads on youtube/online tv shows/etc for me! Thanks to Mark for telling me about it. A few seconds to install the add-on for firefox and then I was good to go.
    - I haven’t been sleeping well at all. Went to bed around 1:30/2 AM Mon/Tues night and didn’t get to sleep until 3 AM last night. Slept terribly off and on the whole time. Had a little coffee after Abnormal, but I was staying awake pretty well. Personalities was cancelled which gave me some extra time to work on studying for Social. Tried to take a nap without success, which is odd considering I normally don’t have problems sleeping during the day, especially when I’m lacking in the sleep department.
    - Tried the semi-permanent blue and my doubts were confirmed- you can’t tell at all. Look forward to trying the hair chalk.
    - Selling my white converse on ebay. So far one bid :)
    - Last night went to walmart (soup, combos, pear), $ store (bought ankle covers for black converse, but found out I have a blister on heel from my shoe so will have to wait for ankle & heel to heal), talked to Len, discussed Matt with Mark (Matt called twice last night)
    - Going to go get Iron Giant for tonight now. Not sure what I want to do for dinner. I’ve been hungry, but nothing sounds good and my throat hurts. I had a bunch of tea this week. Oh, exterminator came yesterday and place looks good.

  • Donna called about Mollie. Let her know that I’m taking full responsibility for the rent/apartment.
    Also was able to tell her that the oven wasn’t working properly. Didn’t get to mention the stove.

    Reactivated facebook. People kept on freaking out because I wasn’t on there. Anyways, it’s convenient to keep up with people since life takes up everyone’s time.

    History/linguistics class cancelled. I think the whole department has been infected.
    I’m doing pretty good. Throat isn’t too bad. I think I’m doing a pretty good job of fighting it.

  • I’m so tired all the time.
    I take too many naps.
    It’s hard for me to get myself to go to bed, and difficult for me to fall asleep.
    Because of the 1 hour nap yesterday & my skype chat with my family, I didn’t get to bed until after midnight.
    Woke up at 8:15.
    I really want to go to sleep now.

    Did laundry between classes.
    Found out about psych club an hour and a half before.
    Made it on time surprisingly.
    Every time I bring something that I’ve signed up for, someone else has already brought the same item(s).
    I guess I should be satisfied knowing that they’ll be used eventually.

    Need to ask off work to work at Worlds of Fun for the club.
    The only thing that I’m concerned with being a part of Psych Club is that it doesn’t have a whole lot of benefits for me.
    There are some perks, but sometimes I feel like I’m putting more into it than getting out of it.
    *need* to check out volunteering opportunities in the area for psychology related careers.

    Eating habits are still off whack.
    Last night I had some tea when I got back from Leonards and then decided I was hungry.
    At a small bowl of blueberry shredded wheat and then snacked on mini triscuits.
    This morning, very small bowl of honey bunches of oats because I was going to be late.
    Had some chips, tomatoes, slice of banana bread, and a chocolate dessert bite for the psych lunch.
    Getting a little hungry now but don’t really want to make anything.

    Going grocery shopping with Allison around 4.
    Saw the landlady when I got back from laundry, but didn’t have time to give her the rent check or tell her about the oven not working properly. Sigh.
    At the laundry place it was a little more expensive (went to the nice one. $1.75/wash, $1.00 to dry). Used my time there to read for abnormal and take a little bit of notes for social. test coming up real soon!
    I need to be reading a lot, but it’s so hard for me to stay focused.

    I want to watch Firefly and try White Collar.
    Still have an episode of Dr Who I have not seen.
    Once Upon a Time on Sunday :)
    I’m not looking forward to working Friday and Saturday.
    I’m thinking about sleeping at the old house.
    Or I should just ask Jacob/Cheryl if it’s okay if I sleep over.
    Too many things I need to ask / keep track of.

    Talked to Sara for a few moments before Social.
    She wasn’t very responsive.
    Polite, but the conversation didn’t last long.
    She was studying for physio jeopardy.

  • Yesterday: Lit class cancelled. Planned on doing laundry. Instead I went back to bed.
    Had steak and mashed potatoes for lunch. Steak was a little too salty for my taste.
    Social- gender stereotypes. Oh how guys don’t actually go for the “ideal” woman…
    Then again, I don’t think girls go for the “ideal” man either.

    Went to Leonards. Loved playing with the dogs and cats. Makes me miss having a dog so much.
    The old Total Recall is not as good as the new one. I know that the old one is a “classic”, but it was too obnoxious for my taste. Over the top violence and ridiculousness.
    Made waffles for dinner fairly late at night and talked to Mark on skype.
    Looked at hair dye on ebay and got temporary stuff for about $6.
    There’s hair chalk that I’m looking into- saw it for the first time last night and it’s grown on me.

    Worked all day today. Had to dump the N1 tank for the film processor because there was a contamination (again). Slide order. Felt like I didn’t get very much done because the managers (met Keith today, Josh was there too) did most of my totes and I wasn’t able to pull tags. Got off at 330 today, which was different. It was nice to get home at a semi decent time. I’m still worn out.

    Still putting of laundry.
    Had leftover waffles for lunch.
    Can’t decide what to have for dinner.
    Reorganized the freezer and still haven’t gotten closer to picking something.

    Kevin got to Flagstaff today :)
    Mom and dad had to get CACU’s number from me in order to get money to him
    (hold on the account)
    Besides that, I think the trip went okay.

    While looking for an old journal of mine, I found an “anthology” of my writings from creative writing in high school. Oh how embarrassing and terrible most of the stories/poems are. I remember just making up a lot of them carelessly, but I did actually enjoy the Portrait story. Thinking about how it might be halfway decent if I revised it a bit. I’d like to start writing again.

    Grandpa found out I deactivated my facebook yesterday and texted me to ask if I was okay. I didn’t respond right away and so he even called my parents to see if they knew if I was alright. They called to make sure lol. It was nice that someone noticed even though I wish he wouldn’t have stressed out so much. My dad was like “why did you do that? we like it when you’re on facebook! We like seeing you play the piano and being silly!” (referring to my latest youtube video I put on his page)
    I miss some aspects of facebook. But I feel like if I reactivate it now, I’ll go back to spending way too much time on there. It’s a habit that I want to break myself of. Challenge: stay deactivated for 3 weeks. Last year I was offline for a couple months.
