Catching up.

Updating the bed situation: I've been sleeping a little better. Thursday and Friday night I slept like a brick, and it was wonderful.

I'm considering going through Rush for the Catholic sorority here. And by that I mean I've considered it and decided to go through with it. At least I'll go through the Rush and decide if it's something I really want to do as the week goes on. Of course it means that I'll have something going on every night this week, which is a little bleh, but it's just one week.

Right now I'm trying to do my homework for Weather Observation and Analysis, which basically consists of me decoding this freak of a METAR observation:

Yeeeeeeeeah. Going to avoid that as long as I possibly can. I also have a reeeally bad headache right now. Like, I get a headache pretty much every day, but it's usually not really bad like this one, and I can't figure out what triggered it, but I can't concentrate on my homework, and it's annoying.

Not having a car is really getting in the way of things, too. Like, what if someone's birthday came along and I wanted to get them a present? I'd have to ask the person whose birthday it is for a ride to the mall just so I could get them something. How pathetic is that? Hey, it's 11:11. That's exciting. Yeah, this is really random, mostly because I can't concentrate on anything in particular right now, and I'm trying to multitask, and failing at it miserably. Tomorrow is Austin's birthday, so I think I'm going to wake up extra early so I can call him and wish him a happy birthday before he goes off to school. I guess that means I should go to bed soon. Of course, last night I think I got too much sleep, so I've been pretty tired all day. Whatever. I'll sleep soon.

On a good note, I dropped my phone the other day, and when I picked it up and put it back together, there wasn't a single scratch on it, and it was perfectly fine. So it's good that it's resilient. I got a whole bunch of new music the other day that I'm trying to listen to. It's a lot of stuff I've been meaning to listen to, but haven't really gotten around to it ever. And now that I have it, I still haven't gotten around it listening to it. :/ But I'll get there. Anyway, I'm going to go and enjoy the 3 days I have left of being a teenager. Man, I'm old.

So I just went down to the food machine here in Aston, and I picked the Twix bar, and when it went to vend it, it didn't completely vend. It definitely got stuck, and I was definitely about to cry. So I jounced the thing until it shook it loose. It was like my worst nightmare come true. On a different note, who here read "A Separate Peace"? Because I definitely took the word "jounce" from that mother trucker of a book. If you haven't read it, I wouldn't recommend it. Not good.

Off to a good start for once.

Sure, I've already missed a couple of classes, but I still understand everything that's going on in all my classes. It should be a really good semester for me. I have to get a 3.0 so the parentals allow me to stay up here, but I think I can manage. I'm keeping up with my work, which is the most important part. I'm going to take a total of 19 exams this semester. I tallied it all up today in Weather Obs. Classes are as follows: Calculus, Weather Observation and Analysis, Ecology, Atmospheric Pollution, and Astronomy. And here are my predictions for my grades: B, A, A, B, A. Which would total up to above a 3.0, so I should be alright. But if I get realistic and consider my past performance techniques, I could say that the grade prediction could follow a pattern of lower letters, possibly somewhere around C, B, A, B, B, which should get me exactly a 3.0. So... we'll see how it all goes. If you can't tell by the lack of posts, I've been pretty busy. I hardly ever even get online anymore, mostly because I just don't have the time. Oh, and I may have said that I'd put up pictures of the room on here, but Kaela and I should clean it before I do. I'm pretty proud of myself, though, since the majority of the stuff on the floor is Kaela's.

So I went to the first football game of the year this past weekend, and I think I'll be going to the second this weekend. I mean, I already pulled tickets for it, so I plan on going. This weekend is like the weekend that my family would celebrate Austin and my birthdays (11th and 13th respectively), so they wanted me to come home, but it doesn't seem that I have any way to get home, so I think I'll just be staying up here. I'm not so much sad that I'll be missing my birthday, so much as I am sad about missing Austin's. It's freezing in my room. Seriously, I'm not sure why we even bother having a fridge in here. My TV and VCR are apparently about to explode, and I'm hoping to con my parents into getting me new ones for my birthday. Preferrably a TV with a built in DVD player. That would be much more convenient than trying to watch movies on my computer from my bed. Which is a loft, by the way, in case you didn't know. I actually fell out of it the other day. It was decently painful.

This year I've decided to pass out on the meal plan and stick with Aggiebucks, so hopefully that will save money and encourage weight loss. I think I've been doing alright thus far. Except yesterday. Yesterday was bad. A piece of pizza, popcorn, soda, Chick-fil-a, and Taco C. I know, I'm ashamed. I just hope I avoid a repeat of last year.

Surprisingly, as college beds go, mine is pretty comfortable. In fact, I think I'll scale it and take a nap pretty soon. It's been missing something the past few nights, though. Like, I feel like there's a pillow or something that's supposed to be there, but it hasn't been... I don't know. Alas, I shall survive. But for how long?...
