Time to escape..
Feb. 16th, 2004 11:24 pm.. the clutches of homework and endless studying-for-midterms. Update on my life! (Restrain your joy, please. n__~)
Anywho, yeah. First batch of midterms done and probably graded. Did fairly well on Physics and Molecular Biology. Dunno 'bout Chemistry yet-- probably find that out Wednesday. Cross your fingers for me! Anywho, this is my break week, in that I don't have any midterms until next week and I can spend this one studying and catching up with minimum amounts of stress. Good times will be had by all!
Update on apartment situation: Well, don't really know what's gonna happen. Pretty much all in God's hands. He could very well plunk me down in an apartment with roomies, or fix it all up so I have a nice studio of my own. I *really* like the layout of the studios in my apartment complex, and would *really* like to stay here if I can. Unfortunately, since Amber's roomies can't move in in March, and I can't pay rent for two places for a few months, that's pretty much open to whatever God's got planned. He held this apartment we're in right now for us for four months, so we'll see how the studio situation resolves itself. There are also a few other nice-looking apartments that I have to go and check out. But, all the other apartments that have websites have one thing or another wrong with them-- Strathmore is excellent, all except for the fact that they don't allow pets. Whiiiiich brings me to my next topic (nice transition, huh?).
I want a kitty. I want a kitty soooooo bad I can taste it. (Heh, I went back home this weekend and hung out with Jason and Chantelle. At one point we ended up in a Chinese food buffet, and I said that exact phrase, and they both turn to me with wide eyes and said, 'Don't say that too loud! You're in a Chinese food restaurant!' And that was meant as a joke, not anything racist. You guys know me well enough that you'd know I wouldn't mean it that way, but just checking.. Don't know who else is lurking. n__n ). Erin's been kind enough to put up with most of my incessent badgering (badger-badger-badger-badger-badger-MUSHROOM-MUSHROOM!)and whining. But it's her fault for showing me petfinder.org!! So, yes. I've kind of made an agreement with myself that if I end up in a studio, I'll try and get a cat. I just like the idea of having some sort of other living thing with me! If I end up in a place that doesn't allow cats, I might be tempted to sneak one. That totally depends on A) how lonely I get in a studio, and B) if I find a kitten I just can't live without. Oh, also C) whether or not I have the time this summer to dedicate to raising a kitten. I'm taking a full friggin' load of summer school classes, and that'll take me out of the apartment for at least a few hours each day. So, we'll see how things work out. I don't want to get a cat if I'm not satisfied with the answers to those three questions. It's a big responsibility, and I'm completely aware of it.
So, yes. I had a loverly V-day weekend. Spent Friday night with Kyle (so that I wouldn't feel guilty ditching him Saturday to go home! ;D ). We had good food, good times, and it was overall quite enjoyable and relaxing. He's got the coolest roomies and friends. Woke up early Saturday morning and drove back home, had a fun time hanging out with family, and came back fairly refreshed. Dad and I spent this morning provisioning me (yay for grocery stores!) and he was nice enough to load my little Delilah while I made a last check through the house to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything important. When I got into the car I noticed he'd picked a flower and placed it in the little coin/ash tray. I have no idea what kind of flower, but I know the bush it came from in the front yard. Usually Brea deflowers it to provide accesories for her hair, but Dad managed to find one of the prettiest ones. But, yeah. Just a sweet touch that made my day. Also made me very sad and teary-eyed as I drove home. It's nice to be loved, and to love, but gosh-- it can hurt so much sometimes!
Anywho, yeah. Now it's almost midnight. Think I'll fiddle-faddle around a bit more, and then decide on my game plan for this week. Maybe if I work hard enough I can scrounge up some time to color. (I've got at least three pics that need to be colored, and another two bouncing around in my head.)
... Wow, if you made it all the way to here, you deserve a cookie!
