Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I predict that you will soon hook up with the “wrong” helpers. They will nudge you down an unexpected path that results in you getting tests you didn’t even know you needed. I also suspect that without much assistance from anyone, you will make one of your best “mistakes” of 2005. Congratulations in advance, Taurus, for being receptive to the blessings in disguise.
Limit to your friends’ list.
LJ will only let me go 840 entries back in my friends list. I didn’t think I got past Sept. 12, but these entries look familiar. Oh, well. Onward! ;)
Tearing out my hair, still catching up.
When you miss a whole day of classes during the first week of the semester, a dangerous tone is set. Catch-up. I’m still playing this game, churning through a stellar amount of material just so that I can get things turned in on time, or a little late. I even made a post about it here during my WRA 210 class this morning.
This morning, Dale was in the shower for what seemed like forever. All three of us needing a shower at the same time on Monday morning is NOT working out. If I would just get up when my alarm clock went off, I wouldn’t have to worry about any of this. Instead, I hit the snooze bar like it’s some kind of game. (Trust me, it makes sense when you’re half-asleep.)
I’m behind on work, on keeping up at the house, on my schoolwork… but I’m not so far behind that it seems overwhelming. It’s just a lot of a little that adds up to a ton. Not to mention being at September 12th on my LJ friends page.
I have a pimple on my lip. I need to trim my goatee and mustache and shave my face. I desperately need a shower.
Also, leaving my planner and my Japanese textbook in class today was NOT the brightest move I could have made. Looks like Matsubara Sensei picked them up, but I can’t get to her until I’m supposed to be taking (and probably bombing) my sky quiz in my Astronomy lab.
So, I’m officially engaging hermit-mode. If you see me out and about, I will likely be studying. If I’m rude to you and keep my headphones on instead of conversing, it’s because I must. Since I’ve returned, school has been and will continue to be one of my top priorities. If I’m ever going to get that cursed piece of sheep’s hide, it has to be this way.
And now, I’m going to copy
This comes right after I bemoan being an absentee friend to
Accomplishments and discouragement.
Module 1 and 2 were completed a while back, and turned in.
Late.
Module 3 was completed on Friday, and was turned in.
A lot less late, but still 40 minutes or so.
I was late to class this morning.
Detecting a pattern? Thought so. This is not me. I am not a late person. Do I need to buckle down more? The grindstone has already eaten half my nose. How do I push down harder?
The project proposal is next, as well as Module 4. Grit my teeth and push forward.
Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Johor Baru prison in Malaysia has begun offering thrill-seekers the opportunity to stay overnight. For a mere $17, a curious traveler can experience the adventure of getting locked in a dank cell, eating bad food, and having no pillow while sleeping on a wormy mattress. I sincerely hope that none of you will travel to this new tourist attraction in the coming week. For that matter, I trust you won’t check into a metaphorical version of the place, either. There is absolutely no reason for you to visit other people’s hells or mistake ordeals for adventures.
You’re saying it’s a mix of Hebrew AND Aramaic, and people READ it?!
The problem with my LJ friends page is that I keep being caught up to the same date, but the date on the calendar keeps moving forward.
Yeah.
