So... i don't ever remember how it started, tho i'm sure it had something to do with the ridiculously long fanfiction story that i'm in the middle of, but my sleeping schedule got severely fucked up. Severely. (and occasionally I think to myself, gee, my father and mother and uncle read this. maybe i shouldn't cuss. but, my parents know i cuss. So, uncle guy, sorry to burst any bubbles you may have retained about me, but i cuss often and have decided not to censor myself in this.) So i stayed up thursday? night kinda late, i guess? but i know that Friday "night" i didn't go to bed until 7.30 am. then i got up at noon, took a shower, and went back to bed. when i re-awoke at 6, i knew i had fucked myself over and would have to do something drastic to get my sleeping schedule back on track.
So, i ordered a pizza, and went out and bought 7 16oz energy drinks (of the redbull-esq variety), chocolate syrup, and a bag of cheetos. It is now 5.20pm Tuesday, and the last of my energy drinks has finally been drunk. I even have a few cheetos left. And I skipped my french class this morning. And came late to my film history class, because i was still writing my conclusion and printing it out as 3.30 rolled around. But now my paper is turned in, and my french homework is done.
I'm really glad there are only 2 weeks left of classes. I don't think i could manage any more, considering i'm obviously already burnt out. I've just reached that pivital moment in the quarter where I just don't care anymore. I try and rally my efforts, but my attempts so far have been futile. I will still try though. The last vestiges of my sickness are slipping away, so maybe it'll be easier to focus and not be so apathetic.

fun fun fun fun SICK!
like duck duck goose but lamer.
so i had a really good time this weekend. I went to pullman to visit haley for the long weekend. Went to my first "club" ever. Was gay night. they had a drag show that was kind of lame, but still entertaining. That was fun, some questionable guys dancing with us, but Haley pulled us away and we continued to dance on our own. i like dancing. (i especially loved that they played all these club songs and rap/hip-hop kind of stuff that i could kind of dance to, and everybody else seemed to know... and then something like 'footloose' would come on and i'd go insane. haley and i also jitterbugged to 'jitterbug' which was way fun in a 'wow, those girls are dorks' kinda way. :) )
and then..... we had breakfast at a cool restaraunt, and moved haley's stuff from her old house to her new apartment, then went to Moscow, ID for some shopping at the mall. i find it amusing that i live in seattle but i'd rather go shopping in moscow. but i bought 2 shirts that i really like, and perfume (which i'd never bought before) and some super-cool yummy-smelling face wash. thennnnn.... we ate pasta (which i fucked up... pretty sad considering it came out of a box) and manna from heaven (chicken kiev). Stayed up watching 2 Ellen Degeneres comedy specials and Napoleon Dynamite (which i liked way better than i thought i would). Next day, took Sydney (Haley's dog) on her longest walk ever touring the campus, which is pretty. (But has WAY too many gyms/athletic centers. i don't understand it.) We went to coffee with Christa Martin, who i haven't seen since highschool, and then to dinner at a cool restarant, and finally watched Brokeback Moutain. Haley hadn't seen it, but it was time #2 for me. Have to be caught up with my mother. :) Monday we had lunch with Clayton and Ryan MOEN, which was kindof another crazy blast from the past. He really hasn't changed much, which is cool.
So. Tres fun. And then i got home and unpacked and stuff, while noticing my nose was getting stuffier and stuffier, and my thoat had really started to hurt on the plane. Needless to say i woke up today unable to breathe and with a killer headache. Took lots of pills. I can breathe now, but my head is still pounding and gets insanely bad whenever I stand up or try to move around. So, no school for me today. The is the first day all quarter i've missed ALL my classes. usually i feel better enough by midday to go to my film classes, but I just feel sore all over still and can't bring myself to go be miserable outside of my own home. So i'm finishing up some homework and grading FPS packets and spending some much needed time with my lovely cat, who i missed while i was away. I hope everybody else is feeling better than me.

happy valentines day
i'm back to being my usual procrastinating self. paper due friday... and then next tuesday need to have an intro for the next paper. i've got a krap-ass intro to the first one, but thats it. but, i'm making peter a cake for his birthday. thats good. and i've gotten 5 of my fps packets done, so i'm not useless.
i'm officially going to paris in the fall, or, i was accepted at least. so yay for that, even though it kind of scares me.
oh, and i apologize for not sending valentines cards this year. just totally spaced it, so nobody gets one. sorry. i do love you, though. :)

my cat loves Q-tips, too
Jayne made a funny little commic of my cat here. I hope that link works. He does seem obsessed with licking nylon straps.
Last night Heidi accompanied me (thank you heidi) to midnight tango at trabant. I'm glad she came or I wouldn't have gone, since no one else wanted to go. Speaking of Shayna, we need to get her over here to say hello sometime. And she asked me about candy poker. I would like some candy poker please. J? P? H? Anyway. Tango was fun. Not as fun as the first time we went, but still really fun. I like following. Its neat how you can like psychically know where the other person is going to step. only its not really psychic.
Also have lots of homework coming up. Didn't get as much finished this weekend as i wanted, but i wasn't completely worthless. Still have to finish (write most of) a paper for Film Theory, and get most of my paper written for History since I'll be gone next weekend. And then, on top of those and daily french homework, i now have 12 FPS packets that need to be graded by the 24th. So, fun times ahead, i guess.
Oh, and i started my strange job on friday. I'm working in APL for a guy who's working for the neurobiology department. Apparently they're trying to come up with a way to measure the pressure inside your brain without having to drill into it. Which if they succeed, will be really awesome and a big breakthrough and stuff. So thats cool. But i don't really do anything with that. I run errands. Take boxes to the medical center, scan documents, and find things to buy and fill out purchase orders. super exciting. but, it means now that i'll work 11.5 hours a week instead of 6- which will double my paycheck. and that, i am totally cool with. actually, i'm fine with all of it. because i get to listen to headphones while i work, and thats awesome. anything that doesn't have any customer service is AWESOME. but god, i could sure go for a danish donut right now. thank you, cheesily-named bakery extrordinaire!

Sa-mmmm-ich
i think i may actually get some stuff done this weekend. i feel unusually motivated. maybe because i'm going to see haley next weekend, so i need to get things done so i wont be stressing over anything while i'm there. what a smart girl i am. thinkin' ahead, yeah. aaaaaand...
oh. i'm going to make a sandwich. probably multiple sandwiches over the course of the next week. and not PB&J sandwiches, either. real sandwiches. i discovered that i like sandwiches if its just meat and cheese and mayo. and i can do that. nobody can make me add lettice in my own home! down with lettuce and tomato! up with meat! (that was odd.) anyway. i bought all the stuff, and now i'm excited for sandwich making. and i like saying 'sammich' instead of sandwich because of how your lips have to come together to make the mm sound.
i have 30 pairs of underwear. that means that technically, i only have to do laundry every 4 weeks. how awesome is that? but in reality, i only wear about 23 of them, so i have to do laundry more like every 3 1/2 weeks. but still- how awesome is that? i hate laundry. but perhaps thats because i do it so scarcely that when i do it it takes me 4 hours. hmmm.
this post has not been filled with insightful things. but neither has my life lately, so thats ok.

just finished my snapple crack and pop
I guess this won't be too long, as I need to leave for class in a few minutes. Still need to add a sentence or two to my first paper of the quarter. But then its all finito. Its not bad. Or good.
And my ipod needs its battery fixed. Which just makes me uber-sad, because I have absolutely no other mobile music device. I have another little mp3 player somewhere, but i cannot find it for the life of me. walking around without music is much less fun than walking with music. If you know the wherabouts of my little bitty green music machine, you should let me know.
Et, je pense que ma prof de francais aime moi plus maitentant que la commence de classe, qui est bien. Elle corrige les examens bon. J'ai recu un 92 pour mon examen derniere. C'est bien.
Ok. And with that meager warm up, off I go to french class. A bientot.

homework stuff
i pretty much lucked out this quarter and didn't get much homework in my classes. French has some daily stuff, but the film classes have a combined total of 5 papers and 2 tests. not too bad. but i hadn't had to write any of those papers or take any of those tests until now, the 6th week of classes, and i'm remember what a pain in the ass it is to write papers and take tests. Must get back into the habit as I pretty much have to do it every week from now on.
Have spent all night writing my first essay, and while it is not fantastic, it isn't as horrible as i usually feel my essays are during the writing process. Unfortunately, now i'm debating whether i should stay up even later (its 2.20 now) to finish a first draft, or just do it all tomorrow night, along with my cram studying for my one and only midterm. decisions, decisions. probably actually depends more on the caffeine buzz than anything. (had to restock the Diet Coke supply to prepare for the first paper writing of the quarter.) Yay for caffeine.
I had a bunch of links, and other template settings for this site, but they aren't showing up... my computer/webernet skills are lacking when it comes to figuring out html codes.
