Plague

Homework sucks like whoa. Too much stuff to do. Brain go pop. Plus I'm SOOOOOOO worried about my directing class... If this teacher grades hard, I am just screwed. Completely. And. Utterly. SCREWED.

Also- have promised artwork and fic to Death... my first requested work... she actually WANTS *ME* to draw something for her... overwhelmed and amazed would only slightly cover it. I just don't think of my stuff as being that good. Hopefully shall not disappoint, and at least those will be a welcome distraction from the homework and stress of school.

Not much has been going on, cept me acknowledging that my brain is on the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it shall fall... but all is not lost... yet...

4 DAYS TILL KRILL!!!! SQUEEEEE!!!

Ugh, Philosophy is FINALLY DONE. World of Classical Greece, too, but I'm kinda sad cause I liked that class, but FINALLY NO MORE PHILOSOPHY E.V.A.R!!!!!!!! Seriously, there's hatin' going on here, that class sucked majorly like whoa. See?! It's made me completely incoherent. And what's even better- I don't think I failed it... Don't think I aced it, either, but NO FAILAGE, WHEEEEEEEEE! Two more finals to go.

Roomie's moving out in the next couple days (hopefully tomorrow). Need more time. Lots more time. No time. ick. Room's a mess, but since it's a moving out, organized type mess, not much I can do about it. But the sooner she's out, the sooner Ani can get in (and apparently someone else is moving into Ani's old room in the endless cycle of musical rooms we've got going on up here). So Ani's gotta be completely out in time for this other girl to get in.. BEFORE 5:00. *sigh* Am I the only one foreseeing problems here? Specially if current roomie isn't planning on getting out till sometime Thursday or Thursday night?

Seems like everyone I know is either really depressed or having nervous breakdowns. I feel sad for everybody. *sad* Lots of bad stuff and bad stress all hitting at the same time = not happiness. If you are someone I know and are feeling sad/depressed/crazy or even just like your normal self... I <3 you all and hope you get lots better. Feel better, k? *huggles all and sundry*

Boots, Tad, Figaro, and Fordon. The four Kitties of the Apocalypse. ph34r.

Hee, I'm happy that my Christmas gifts to the FotA went over well. All the kitties have finally been named, leaving us with Death's Boots, the yellow tabby; Plague's Tad, the siamese; Famine's Figaro, a black tuxedo; and War's Fordon, a calico. They're as close as I could get to the colors of the horses without spray painting the kitties. So go me.

Studying is killing my brain. Monday, that is tomorrow, should be pud, along with Thursday and Friday. Wednesday I am apprehensive about and I'm reserving judgement on Tuesday until I get there. There shall be some fun had, lots of stress, and eventually sleep and a dearth of computerage for about a month. The lack of internet (well.. it's dialup) might put a hamper in my plans just a bit. Hmm... must consider this problem carefully indeed... *ponders*

I would now like to quote a line from Aristophanes' The Frogs: "Oh great and glorious Persephone,/How redolent, that song, of barbeque." Yes, the Greeks certainly knew what they were talking about.

( This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius )

Ani- no idea when you're gonna get to move in... she's gotta be here all week and the room she's moving in to is currently occupied... *sigh* but you've GOTTA be moved before break, so I hope you're ready for some speed moving, cause that's what it might end up being...

It's finished and sent, huzzah. Now I can die with a clear conscience. w00tisms for me.

So... looking at my old posts, I've realized that the ratio of posts/day is directly proportional to the amount of stuff I have to get done.

In other news, I'm 55% done with my paper. Yes, I have 5 1/2 pages, and I'm going strong... well, sorta, in the 'I still have lots I can write about but this is boring so I'm still putting it off' sort of way. (I'm really hoping none of my family members will read this until AFTER I get the paper done... they tend to freak whenever they realize that I'm not quite the good student they think I am.. meep) But, yeah, the stupid intarweb died this morning for some reason, so I was forced to write on my paper because I had nothing else (interesting) to do. Which just goes to show how quickly I COULD have had this paper done, had I cared- wrote a page this morning in just under a half hour. And the previous 4 1/2 pages had taken me about three days or so. Yeah, I'm procrastinating....

Finally- Sasuke is STILL an angstmuffin, but he is now an *evil*-possessed, quasi-demonic angstmuffin which means even more AAAAAAAAAANGST!!!

Two pages finished... although... a page and a half are at the actual beginning of the paper and the other half page fits in.. somewhere. At least I hope it will. I figure... I need at least 8 more pages, I have three days, if I can get like five pages done tomorrow (because I have all day) I should be fine... right?....... right?

The ringing hasn't stopped, but the pain has *knock on wood*. So that's a plus.

I'm gonna probably end up staying up kinda late at least one night this weekend to work on the paper.. cause, well, I'm a procrastinator and I tend to put things off unless I have a really good motivator.. like being able to sleep. Anyway, the roomie's trying to chase me out OF MY OWN ROOM because she says she won't be able to sleep if I'm awake and typing. Bleh. She can fricken lay up in bed and stare at the ceiling all night for all I care, because NO, I WON"T be 'more comfortable' down in the computer lab till all hours of the morning. That's why I fricken brought my own computer to college with me. So there, hah.

Yeah, the cold meds are making me a little childish, but I don't care, nyah. *raspberry and runs away*




Oh yeah, spose I gotta post this cause I did it.
Comment, and I will comment with a picture of the anime character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

What men have seen they know,
But what shall come hereafter
No man before the event can see,
Nor what end waits for him.

That's from Sophocles' "Ajax" which is a pretty boring play except for some fun insults at the very end. But that's the last bit of dialogue and I just really liked it.

8.5 hours till con. Am I excited? Yes. Am I over my blue funk from yesterday? Not really, but I'm working through it. Did I do any of the homework that I needed to get done this weekend but that I won't do because of con? ...Maybe...

I'm still kinda wanting to wear my Winry costume tomorrow, but I'd feel really weird (like I won't feel weird anyway) getting auctioned off in a tube top. So Winry it is today.... and tomorrow the catgirl... Yep, I'm gonna get auctioned off as a catgirl. We'll see what happens. *I'm* just hoping I don't go unsold. *embarrassment*

Time is going too fast. I now only have TWO weeks to write my 10pg Philosophy paper... which I'm not planning on working on ANYWAY till like next weekend. Which will mean one week to write 10pgs. I can do that. And if worse comes to worst, I can always pull an allnighter, yay. I actually kind of like allnighters. They help me think. Plus, the world is really pretty at about 5 in the morning and I'm never up to see it normally. So yeah.

505 minutes till con! ;D

Okay... so I'm listening to the Wicked soundtrack (and...maybe... trying to avoid homework, too, but shut up) and my fav song off that soundtrack is Dancing Through Life... which you'd think was a really happy song, right? I mean, Dancing Through Life, happy title right? And it's all upbeat and stuff. I LOVE this song, with a passion... and the singer has the dreamiest voice ever.... but... I think I'm just out of sorts right now, or something, but the lyrics seem really sad to me right now. Here's a snatch:

Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
...Those who don't try
Never look foolish

I don't know, maybe I'm insane, but "those who don't try never look foolish" doesn't seem like the best advice in the world to me. Course... that is kinda the path I've always followed anyway, but so what? *heh*


Anyway, that was just what got me posting. Also had something interesting to report. So the average on our bio test was a 78%. That's not especially sad until you find out that there were apparently (and I say apparently because our stupid prof refuses to give us back our papers until he figures out a way that we have to come see him, bleh) more than a few people who got 100s. So, the low was a 40%. THIS WAS THE EASIEST TEST *EVER* and someone still managed to get a 40. I don't even see how that's possible. Sigh. Was I that stupid when I was a freshman?

Note to self: must really see Wicked on stage sometime... really.

sick...sicksicksicksickysicksicksick..si..c..k...

Yes, I'm sick. That's the best part of living in a 12x20 box with another person, you get to play germ ping-pong with each other all through the cold-and-flu season. Picked up some lysol today, hopefully that will stem off the worst of the passing. Too late for this particular beauty of a cold, though. Just started today and already my ears are popping. It's certainly ambitious.

Went to SuperSaver to get food and stuff and decided I needed to pick up some cold medicine while I was there cause I'm gonna run out before I kick this bugger. So I go to the medicine aisle and my cold-addled brain is like "where...Tylenol?..." Luckily my sis was along or I might have just stood there for a while. She pointed out the sign that now anything with pseudoephedrine (and I think I just spelled that right) is now available at the counter. It's a new law that just got passed apparently, to keep people from buying large amounts of cold medicine to get the pseudoephedrine to use in meth labs. So I'm like, okay, whatever, I just wanna be doped up with antihistamines ASAP, don't care what I have to do to get them. Although... I wonder if the cigs are getting pissy about their formerly private locked boxes being invaded by cold pills... but that could be the cold talking. Anyway, I go up to the counter and ring through my bread and stuff, find out that yes, they do have the cold meds behind the counter, find out that Tylenol has f-ing changed their packaging again so now I have no idea what I want to buy and when I do finally figure out which one has the antihistamines cause I am SICK of post-nasal drip... it's only available in 'new fresh cool burst' whatever the heck that means. So I buy it. Had to show my ID. Gotta be 18 to get cold meds in Nebraska, now. Once it was proved that I wasn't attempting MIP-CM (minor in possession of cold medicine) I escaped to return to... homework....

Have I mentioned that I'm just a WEEEEE bit behind on my readings? And that I have a lab report and a two page paper due Tuesday? I'll get them done, really...eventually. The procrastinator's motto is: Wait until the last possible moment you can get something done... Then wait five more minutes.

Anime club last night. It was much fun. I think I've finally found my people. Scary, huh? Many people... JUST...LIKE...ME!!! Ooh, sends shivers down your spine, doesn't it? Mwahhahahahaaaaaaa*snork* Hard to laugh evilly with nasal congestion. I think my throat's gonna be sore tomorrow, but it's worth it. Anyway, last night was great, these are seriously some odd people, but they're not all catty and evil like a lot of people I know and they weren't all "oh, you've never been here before...get out" which was cool. And I met a real live internet pirate, who will, in fact, say Arrrrgh, if you ask nicely. :) which I did. :D But it was a fun like three hours or so of anime watching, which is just something I don't get to do like at all. We watched some really good shows and an anime about an anime club that watched anime. How meta. My fav, though, was Full Metal Panic ("The baths change at 10:00") *evil grin* I seriously don't think I've laughed that hard in AGES. I thought I was gonna die from lack of oxygen.

Should really go to bed now, but maybe I'll just sleep in. Or both. Later, peeps.
