12:15am
Holy Santa Claus shit, it's late. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
Well... by the looks of it, a long week. Again.
I was terrified of Hell Week last week and I completely skirted most of my responsibilities and made half-assed performances in all my classes.
This week's Hell Week isn't consisting of academics much, but more of other responsibilities that I just don't want to do.
Monday: Physics test re-take. It's usually only 2 or 3 problems long and it can add up to like 40 points on our test score. Granted I did well on the test, it'd be nice to tack on a little bit more. But I haven't studied....
Then I totally didn't realize that the time I signed up for that coincides with the time I (very regrettably and unwillingly) signed up to go table for PhiDE's Relay for Life thing. The only reason I signed up to table is in hopes that it could potentially get me out of having to participate in Relay for Life. I don't care how silly or selfish it sounds, I don't want to hang around a football track with my fraters and walk for an hour. Plus, I don't much care for the girl in charge of all the Relay stuff. I'm crossing my fingers that she isn't the only one working the table tomorrow and Wednesday.
Then tomorrow night at 5pm, I have a Navy speaker I have to go listen to so that means I'm not going to get home until about 7.
At least I get to ball out in the Escalade tomorrow.
Tuesday: I get to pull out my hair waiting to see my grade on our Core test from, oh idk, three weeks ago? M. Smith may have a pseudo-easy class but goddamn she is the most unorganized person I have ever met in my life. Bio shouldn't be too bad, except we may get our lab practical grades back. Fucking awesome. Physics lab will make me want to kill myself.
Wednesday: again, tabling for Relay. We'll probably get our lab midterms back in Chemistry and oh BOY I cannot wait to not see that grade.
Thursday: Core and Bio. There will be a lecture quiz in Bio which hopefully won't be terrible because I spent some time at the hospital reading some of my notes in my Drop Box (best app everevereverever) so I'm kind of on top of my game.
Saturday: we have a mandatory volunteering that we are doing at this place called the Blue Heron Nature Preserve. Dr. Baube said something about rebuilding stairs or something. If he knows what's good for him, he will not hand me tools. Maybe there will be torrential storms on Saturday.
God I sound like such a baby sometimes.
Oh, and one more thing. Tonight Mammy got admitted to the hospital with her HR at 180 bpm and BP at 90/60, which are ridiculously high and ridiculously low. They're keeping her (alone) overnight for observation and will hopefully go home tomorrow.
I would have spent the night.

11:34am
Oh my god it is such a gorgeous day outside. The temp on the car is reading 76 (but it's probably more like 66 or 67)
It sucks it must be spent inside allllll freaking day.
This morning started off pretty crappy too. I got to school and realized that I had a gaping hole in the underarm part of my shirt, so I had to go back home and change my clothes... vanity is my sin and I didn't want people thinking I was a slob. Then dad fussed for me coming home ('cause I'm in his car today) and then said that he may not be able to get my car up to the shop today.... awesome. The really sucky thing is that I had to reschedule my Physics retest for tomorrow so I could go home. Which, I guess, could be a good thing since I didn't study. It gives me an extra day.
But then I got back in the car and the good cd flipped on and I put the sunroof back and the windows down. This is more like the weather we need.
Except now I have to go table. :(

I am sitting in heaven right now. On the Quad. In the sunshine.

11:28pm
so.... an Army doctor is always a career I could consider. Some recruiters came and talked to PhiDE tonight and it's a considerably good package.
idk. I'm tired and am jabbering away with sleep deprivation and that's never a good combination.
Today I got to play with a live, beating heart of a frog and mess with it with different drugs.
IT WAS AWESOME.
Still need to update on the other family drama that I said something about the other day but there just aren't enough hours in the day. Especially when all the earthquakes are starting to make use lose milliseconds from our day!
AHhhh!

Vacation
1:33am
I need a vacation. I need to get away from everything and everybody.
I want to go somewhere alone. I won't mind being by myself. At least for a little while.
But I just want to go away for a while.
I need some space from Red and Tori and the rest of my friends. Doing that is completely against what I've always preached about being together and spending as much time in our fleeting lives as we can.
I just think some time away from everything would do me some good.
Unfortunately a) I cannot afford to go anywhere. b) my parents would not let me go anywhere by myself. and c) the first available opportunity that I could go somewhere at a relatively low cost is sometime during the 2nd week of May... two months away.
I think during SBX, I'll just have to rent some movies about beaches and pretend I'm there.

Alice in Wonderland tonight! Woo!
1:22pm
I'm about to go take a nap, but there is a rant that I must commence with upon my return, involving my deranged, selfish siblings along with the idiot drivers I've encountered today.
And I witnessed Casper the [apparently VERY] friendly puppy humping an 11 month old baby today. Lipstick out and everything.
Things that make you go..."buuuuhghghghgh."
:]
***
10:19pm
and another to add to my rant of people who piss me off is the bitch lady in the bathroom at the movies tonight. All the stalls were full and I was waiting in line and she walks out, looks at me, turns around and says, "Oops, sorry," and turns back into the stall and flushes the toilet. Except she was already about 8 feet away from the stall when she decided to flush her nasties.
Ignorant people.
Except I'm probably not gonna make it to a rant tonight because I'm pretty tired and starting to crash from my Mountain Dew high. Even though I napped for nearly 3 hours today....
oh well.

Induction Night! Woo!
8:16pm
It's awfully late for a blog, huh?
Tonight was induction night for the new brothers of PhiDE. Awesomeness :]
I probably should have stayed for the pizza and stuff but me and dad kind of already had dinner planned.
Except now my stomach hurts and I don't feel like eating mine.
It looks so good too. :[

Snow, Snow, Snowing!
11:30am
The commute to school today was interesting. Upon first walking outside, it was a light, but steady, rain. Driving from Smoke Rise into Tucker, the rain began to turn into slush and started accumulating on the bottom & sides of the windshield. By the time I was pulling onto campus, the slush had turned into a full-on snow. And it's been snowing so ever since. And it's not like the normal Georgia snow flurry (with the exception of the blizzard a couple weeks ago). These are big, honkin' ass sized snowflakes.
The Oglethorpe buildings look very pretty with the powder falling all around them. It's sticking too, a little bit. The weatherman predicted 1-3" today, but at the rate we're going I don't think we'll quite make that quota. Well maybe, but I don't want to get my hopes up. It's odd that it's even snowing at all today because the temperature is only in the mid-30s. Any chances of afternoon classes getting cancelled is pretty slim, just for that fact. If the temps read below freezing or into the 20s, I would imagine that the day would be cancelled. I certainly would be jumping for joy... we all know how much I despise Tuesdays with every fiber and cell in my body.
On the bright side, Biology lecture did get cancelled but we knew about that last week.
To have started the day off in such a grumpy and frustrated state, I'm rather calm & peaceful right now. This morning, I walked downstairs and there was a stink in the kitchen that was absolutely nauseating. I walked into the foyer and saw cat shit, piss, and bloody piss all over the puppy pads... go figure. I began making coffee and started scrounging around for breakfast and, much to my [un-surprise?], there was nothing. I ran out of my frozen quesadillas last week and there wasn't time to fix cereal today. After looking, I gave up and caved in to a plain white bagel. I hate them, though, because bread (white at that) is not very good for you. But who am I kidding? I couldn't stay on my WW diet for the 4th time in 15 years, so why should I bother caring anymore? Then after my coffee was made, I was so disgusted after breathing in the cat shit and not having a healthy breakfast that I threw it down the sink. So I'm running on zero caffeine today, as well. While looking for breakfast, I also noticed that the chicken salad that I was planning on bringing for lunch was gone too. So no lunch today either.
But... I'm in a rather happy mood right now. I can see the snow falling outside the window by the desk I'm working at in the library. This isn't my usual seat that I like to work at, but I wanted to be near a window so I could see everything. I guess it's the snow that is calming.
I guess I need to mention that I need to go to the grocery store tonight... It sucks that the quesadillas I like are the WW brand because they cost a little more $$ than other ones. But I'm such a picky breakfast person anyway... Then lunches are always a pain in the ass because Monday-Wednesday I try to eat something near school so I don't have to go drive home or to Food to Go. Monday & Wednesday, the Subway daily sandwich is relatively healthy and it's only like 4 bucks, so I do Subway at Lenox on those days. For a while, it's been Chickfila Tuesdays. Either the CFA down by Chamblee High or the one at Phipps. However... I'm running low on funds on my debit card and I spent the last 3 dollars I had yesterday on a bubble tea because I was pissed about my lab test and was hungry (bubble tea fills you up hella full). And I hate asking my parents for money. That's why I was planning on brown-bagging it, but then there wasn't anything in the kitchen. Sooooo... it was kinda SOL today.
Well I guess I should probably go do some Physics homework since I didn't do any on Sunday. Goal for today: finish chem lab report by tonight and do most of Physics HW problems. Crap, there's a lab midterm tomorrow too... I guess I have to study for that too.
***
7:51pm
Ugh, it's hard to study for a chem lab midterm. I don't know what to expect on it... I mean it's not a practical like I'm used to with Bio. Maybe it'll be short show-your-work problems?
Idk, yo. If I screw it up, I can bring it back with the final and with the rest of the lab reports, which should be easy A's.
I need my back popped.
I hope the snow and slush freezes over tonight.
I got 0% of the Physics homework problems done from earlier. Well maybe 0.04% got done. I wrote my name and the chapter number and a #5 for the problem number. Then I got stuck and decided that I probably needed to go read the chapter first. So I spent the rest of the early afternoon reading and highlighting the text, then stopped a little before the end and started writing down some of the important formulas. Before long, it was time for Physics lab (oh BOY OH BOY.) I was significantly grumpy at the beginning of Physics because I thought one of my partners was skipping out on it because of the snow and thought I would be left with the idiot partner. But she showed up just a bit late and it was okay :]. And lab was hellllllllla short today so I got to come home early. :]]]

10:26pm
I'm pretty sure I'm the most retarded person on the planet because I cannot do these stupid Physics problems.
ugh.
I feel bedtime is soon.

Spring. kthx.
10:01 am
We got out Physics tests back this morning, but I did decide to save mine for later. As I've said all semester, so far Oglethorpe hasn't made me cry yet this year.... yet.
If there's one other thing I've noticed about Oglethorpe is the similarities between it and Tucker High. Both schools seem to have some major confusion in what constitutes a season, because the A/C is kicked on in the winter time and the heat is on in the summer. If only Oglethorpe wasn't for higher education and a private school, I'd gladly blame it on DeKalb's fine school system.
sigh.
Off to study Biology.

7:50pm
Well I got a 70 on my Physics test. At least it's better than the 30's and 40's I made last semester. I'll take it any day.
The practical started off alright. I fell to shit when I got to the frog dissection and completely forgot all the organ anatomy. Pretty sure I did okay on the bones, and (maybe) got a couple of organs right, but for the most part I left them blank. That whole section was worth less than 10 points and I have a chance with the ones I guessed on. Then when I got out to the car, I was flipping through my notes and saw a couple more questions that I got wrong... stupid mistakes too. Fluck.
I was really upset after I left and went to get me a bubble tea :). Came home and played with Casper for a bit, then went to take a short nap. And by short, I mean intermittent because about 92 people decided to call me during that time and kept waking me as I was drifting out.
Ate dinner. And now I'm waiting on Family Guy to come on... Monday Mini-Marathon is the best :]
My stupid boyfriend made me mad though. He is so unbelievably hard-headed when it comes to just about anything. He's had an on-again-off-again ear infection/problem for, like, 6 months and he will not go to the doctor. Why? I have no effing clue. But he won't go and he's always digging a q-tip into his ear and scraping out all the ear wax and he's always in a lot of pain. Now, I'm no doctor and my science GPA is certainly below par with my fellow pre-med peers but something inside me thinks that this may be a bad idea. Having a slight buildup of ear wax, I would imagine, is a nuisance but it's a natural process and a natural substance that is secreted by the ear to aid in defense and protection for the canal. But he won't go see a doctor. He did, however, go to GNC today and got these ear-candle things. Before doing some research into it, the only mention I'd heard about these candles is in reference to the slightly retarded, but still hot, Jessica Simpson who posted a Twitter video performing an ear candle on herself as well as a brief news report saying that the FDA recommends against them. I did some small reading about this and, apart from the obvious dangers of getting second degree burns in your ear canal, they're also a hoax...durr. What happens is that you put the candle into your ear and light it on fire (bad idea #1). There is a hollow cylinder that runs the length of the candle and has some component that is supposed to catch the melted wax as is falls toward your ear canal (bad idea #2... the burning wax, that is). When lit, the cylinder is supposed to act as a vacuum and draw out excess ear wax from the canal. When all is said and done, there will be a small pool of (supposed) ear wax sitting at the bottom of the cylinder. Some patients claim that they felt a sudden relief of ear pain, a "brain and mind cleared of from fogginess," and even a cancer cured. *does the bullshit cough* After several tests, it was concluded that the supposed ear wax that was drawn from the ear canal was, in fact, the melted wax from the candle. NO SHIT. Besides burns inside and around the ear canal, other reported injuries include obstructed ear canals (because the vacuum is, indeed, not a vacuum) from leftover candle wax, and ruptured ear canals which result from the extra force of a REAL vacuum device that must be used to get the excess candle wax out. In some extreme cases, reconstructive surgery was needed on the ear drum and canal. I would imagine permanent loss of hearing could also result as well.
Dumbass.
