  My eyes are burning, wanting to go to bed – they are probably red rimmed from lack of sleep (4 hours last night, which is unusual for me this whole semester). It’s a bit disheartening to catch the bus in darkness, walk into class just as the sun is rising in the East, and then walk all around campus over icy sidewalks seeing your breath fog up as it hits the cold air. I’m not fond of winter, can you tell? I prefer sunlight, no snow, and the ability to wear a shirt without a scarf/hat/winter jacket [although I love the two scarfs my grandmother made me this year!]. I’m actually wanting the skies to open up – dump a huge amount of snow on us – and be gone. Until next winter. Yay for Spring (but boo for rain – sigh, only summer treats me well).

  Ever since my seemingly miserable and failure of a date this weekend, things have been looking so much better. I have actually had a very positive attitude today even after I twisted my ankle walking to the bus stop after the most boring Calculus class of my life. I got home, took a hot shower, got ready for work, and talked to some of my favorite people. Following were work and one more class, and now I’m here. Tired, but here. There was a point to all of this.

  Oh, yes. So I feel better. Things seemed to have hit a few bumps in the road lately but I’ve recovered almost fully. I’m exhausted as hell – but that just makes for a good night’s sleep. I’ve been trying to keep up with a new journal I started where I write down only the good things that happened to me during the day. Makes me think of positive things instead of negative things which I guess is exactly what I did last year. Wow, these posts feel pointless – see, this is why I didn’t write for a week or so. Nothing really to say. Absolutely no entertainment value whatsoever.  Let’s just do this:

  • I am currently obsessed with bananas. I have eaten five in 3 days and only have two left.
    
  • I got gel nails about one week ago. They need to refilled. I’m a perfectionist and they look bad.
  • I get to hang out with someone tomorrow night who actually is a genuinely good person and it makes me feel really good inside.
  • 7:30 am labs kind of suck. But they don’t suck so much when you get to dissect a chicken that was only just killed the night before. (Sorry if it’s morbid! But it’s way cool! Seriously!)
  • Men confuse me. That’s not news, but it’s the truth. I know that women confuse men and men confuse women. I admit that I just don’t get them.
  • If I could change one thing about my cat, it would be the fact that she did not sleep with her butt on top of my arm while I am trying to get some much needed rest.
  • The world would be a better place if bills did not exist.
  • I have an interview tomorrow for a job at 11 am. Pray.
  • I miss Tina. I wish she lived in Indiana. I wish Missouri and Indiana were closer. I wish we each had enough money to own private jets so we could fly and see each other any time we wanted.
  • Washing dishes stinks, which is why I haven’t done so since Saturday.
  • My little sister is turning 18 on the 24th. Creepy. For real.
  • I am slowly becoming a bit OCD with washing my hands. They are getting a little dry. And, I love lotion but the way it makes my hands feel gives me the heebie-jeebies (don’t know if that’s a word, but hey – you get the idea).
  • You have no idea how tempting it is not to go to class on Tuesdays when I have only one class and it’s just a lecture. I make myself go. But I go kicking and screaming. (And it’s my favorite class.)
  • Tiiiired. Way tired.

  Night all.
