SHOOPERBOOOOOOOOLE

So I am trying to figure out what to do about housing next school year... I signed up for on-campus, but I'd really like to have an apartment (especially because they can be cheaper!) but I don't know how that'd work out in reality. blah, why is this difficult

It also sucks that I don't have a job as of yet but I am hoping I at least hear something back from the 7ish places I applied.

OH WELL, tomorrow I take my car to get an oil change and get inspected. That's helpful, right?

(good thing: went to dunkin donuts this morning! their doughnuts are delicious and not very greasy, so I do not get sick from eating 5! that's healthy right)

So someone please tell me why last night I dreamed that my dad was officiating Elton John's wedding. Usually I can tell why I dreamed things but this time, no clue!

(I also dreamed about getting a new job at this office with the downside that there were DEAD PEOPLE IN THE WALLS of the building and since parts of the building were under construction we had to PASS THEM and see them all dead and rotting, [and also a part where I was playing motion capture Super Mario 64] but that part made reasonable sense)

anyway, today I had no class, as is usually on tuesdays and thursdays, so I went to Harris Teeter and got some candy stuff and ate a ton of it. I also talked to my family for over an hour on separate occasions, in an attempt to help them fix our main computer which totally crashed the other day. PC repair and maintenance class, I hope this counts for extra credit. (NOTHING IN THE CLASS IS HANDS-ON ANYWAY SO THIS SHOULD SERIOUSLY COUNT AAAGH) Also I gave blood because our dorm had a blood drive in the basement, and this time I did not pass out so I considered that a plus! Still got crazy nauseous though... I wish this did not happen. (Seriously, I feel ill if I get even the smallest cut and I have to lie down... I'm okay seeing other people bleed though)

So tomorrow I have a test WRITTEN LESSON in Functional Grammar, which I am not worried about. We'll probably also get our test scores back in Social Psych, and I think I did okay there. I guess I'll find out. I'm also planning on going to see Where the Wild Things Are at the theater, just because I really really want to see it and it's free. So that should be fun times I suppose.

SO. Apparently this side of NC is supposed to get a ridiculous amount of snow on the weekend. HMM LET ME LOOK AT THE THERMOMETER OH IT SAYS 57 DEGREES AND CLIMBING. We shall see how it goes, in any case. Maybe we'll get snow that lasts until Monday and they cancel class. (please let them cancel class)

In other news, I am going to try to mail some packages today. Why is the cost of mailing a package more than the cost of the stuff inside the package. Someone tell me. I AM IRRITATED OKAY

I don't know what else to say aside from hating my fundamental grammar class. True story: our homework the other day was to READ SENTENCES and then WRITE THE SUBJECT AND VERB OF THE SENTENCE. It was horrible and I almost cried. How is this a college class. (but then I sent this to my teacher and she sent it to the whole class. as Rachel E said, "WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST PLAY THIS ENTIRE VIDEO FOR THE CLASS AND CALL IT A DAY")

Watching Chuck in the basement of Belk. It's pretty awesome times! This lobby is way less busy than the one was in Tyler. I might run upstairs and grab some popcorn...

I actually got to take a good nap today... it was weird, since even though James called me randomly to ask if he could play my copy of Super Mario World on our Wii, I still slept really well. Oh well, I'm not complaining at all.

Tomorrow I am going to UBE to see if their shot glasses are less made of suck than the ones at the normal bookstore! Online it says they're cheaper, so I think that is cool.

ALSO, another addition to ECU's classy apparel: http://tinyurl.com/yh6cx9k

Went shopping today and got some dress shirts and a skirt... it was helpful, I thought. Except now I have to go get some stockings because, hooray, I discovered that all mine have runs in them. So off to walmart I go, tomorrow. Maybe I can pick up some trouser socks and pants hangers while I'm there. Still have to do my laundry but I think I'm postponing that to tomorrow morning.

IN OTHER NEWS, akin to the discussion of whose schools sell their own shot glasses and to whom am I sending an ECU shot glass, I have further proof of ECU being the CLASSIEST SCHOOL EVER
I HAVE TO STOP LAUGHING IN ORDER TO BREATHE GUYS HELP

Another fire drill, but this time the power went out in the entire building for 10 seconds, and when it came back on: fire drill. Super annoying! I went to go get dinner since I knew we'd be out there for 20+ minutes, but they were having Chinese night and I'm not fond of that... so I got a hot pocket from the little convenience store. Anyway, it ended up lasting 25 minutes (I counted!) and it was cold and rainy outside So I was irritated! Oh well.

So now my pants are soaking wet from the rain.

GUESS WHAT my computer is broken again! So fun! The problem is that whenever I start it up, I get into Windows and put in my password and it looks like it's almost loaded... and then it gives me a blue screen. EVERY TIME. EVEN IN SAFE MODE. Just this nice blue screen that says "SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION" and I want to punch it in its non-existent face. I ran checkdisk three separate times: nothing. Right now I'm looking around online to see if I can figure out what's wrong, but I haven't found anything really in these 10 minutes. So that's super helpful, especially with my three online classes and everything. Good thing ECU has a million computer labs everywhere, because I am so going to be using them. Sadly that means I have to actually carry my PC repair and maintenance book to the computer lab to do my assignments, but hey, maybe it will come in handy in this situation! (THIS IS WISHFUL THINKING, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT IT WILL) If anyone knows what is wrong let me know because this is really irritating.

So yeah, if you need me or anything, you probably won't be able to catch me online. Feel free to call me or whatever; I will probably be bored and won't be doing anything even close to important. (Probably rereading Interesting Times... and having flashbacks to flying to Colorado, because that is where I was when I first read it! Weird.)

EDIT: My computer is working this second; I had left the memory card for my camera in the SD slot and taking it out seems to have maybe solved the problem? I also did three system restores so maybe that helped too. Who knows.

So I haven't been sleeping that well lately, and I'm not sure why... I woke up at least 5 times last night for various reasons: my nose was running and I had to get some medicine, I was having random dreams and ended up talking in my sleep about them and waking myself up (coincidentally, both instances of this ended up being me talking to my mom about Andy, though the first time I was asking her if she was taking him when she went somewhere, and the second was me asking if he could walk this well when I left; of course I dreamed these both but it was strange) or just waking up randomly and not being able to fall asleep. It's mostly irritating, but if this keeps going on I am going to start taking benedryl or something. No need to have a repeat of last year, the night before my 8am final where I took 5 HOURS to get to sleep. OH WELL I should stop complaining, it's really not that bad.

OH AND I AM GOING TO COMPLAIN SOME MORE SO my wrist is hurting aGAIN, after not hurting for like... over a year. I noticed this morning when I went off to walmart to get some laundry detergent, and went REALLY ARM, REALLY. I think it's the result of driving my sister to school for the past few months combined with driving around greenville this past week. Or maybe stress? I'm not sure, but this is REALLY annoying. Especially since I am driving home tomorrow. I guess I'll just pump myself full of advil before leaving.

Yeah, I'm going home this weekend, since we've got monday off school aaaand I have no tuesday classes, so I get a nice long weekend. I also have to get all my textbooks which got shipped to my house (THANKS HALF.COM, THANKS) and I have to deal with some weirdness like getting two of the same textbook and getting the wrong DVD I ordered and all that. So that should be super fun. But what IS fun is that we're all going to watch Chuck at home (which if you haven't watched it you SHOULD) and probably have pizza and stuff. Good times.

AND SOMETHING THAT ISN'T COMPLAINING: the most beautiful thing I have drawn in the past 24 hours

SO MUCH FOR HAVING A FIREDRILL RIGHT NOW

ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE

added bonus: the alarm no longer sounds like a BEEP BEEP BEEP which is obviously an alarm, but instead sounds like SOMEONE IS DRILLING INTO THE CEILING

For a second I swear I thought the building was going to collapse. horrible.

(in other news I bought a water filter today, it was good times. friday classes were super boring!)
