today i made myself a nice little home office. you see there was no where to really set up my laptop in my house, so i needed a better place to put it than on the rocking chair in the sun room. then i had an epiphany whlie putting something away. i will clear out the bottom level of my closet and make myself a home office. so my laptop now sits on the bottom of my closet, as does my camera dock, and i use my bed as my desk chair. it's ok, except that the signal from the router downstairs isn't too good in my home office. i get kicked off a lot. i can live with that though.

11:03 am - home sweet there's no room here
i'm baaaaaaaaaaaack. i came home yesterday with all of my stuff from school, except my furniture and some odds and ends stuff that i don't really need here. i have yet to unpack my car, as there is no room to put anything. therefore yesterday i played clean sweep with myself while my parents were valeting. i had a very nice keep pile in julie's room and a throw away corner. i took absolutely everything out of the room, except the furniture. then i cleaned, which made me sneeze to no end. i don't think that place has been dusted since i was in high school. now the task of today is to put stuff in boxes to end up in the attic and put stuff back in my room and unpack my car and find places for all of that crap. woo. it would be nice if my mom woke up to help me, since she's the one that wanted all of this done so badly. i have a doctor's appointment at 2, so i'd like to get a lot done before then, but not if my mom keeps sleepingggggggggggggg. argh argh argh.

this past weekend was just wonderful. lots of fun with the friends. also i found out that all females on my mom's side of the family are engaged, except for me, one cousin that's 2 years older and one cousin that's 8 years older. it's crazy. my sister called me a loser. my eyes are really bothering me right now. i had a second interview today. i think it went well. i just kinda hung out in the company's office for 3 hours talking to everyone and observing what they do. it was a little strange. i'm not sure i want to move home. there's no room for me. i don't have a closet at home. i'd much rather move to columbus to be with devin. however for that to happen i would need a job in columbus. ahhhhh. i'm ready to graduate, but not at the same time. today i found out i don't actually have any finals during finals week. so that means i only have 2 weeks of stuff left for school. yay for me. it should be a busy 2 weeks. that's about all i have to say.

i have a weird sort of cold right now. i don't know whether it's coming or leaving, it's in limbo and it's driving me a little crazy. i feel it in my chest, but not my nose, and i would like it to leave. i don't think i actually have anything to do tonight, which is really exciting for me. I finished most of my homework during the day today. all i have for tonight is stuff i can't do at my apartment and i'm not gonna go to engineering to do it. guess i'll just have to let myself do some relaxing. or laundry or unpacking. i don't want to unpack. i pack and unpack way too much. this is why i just need to move to columbus. this past weekend was devin's sister's wedding. it was a lot of fun besides devin making me sick. i love weddings and dressing up and dancing. now i don't have another wedding to go to until the end of march. then it's going to be like crazy wedding time for my mom's side of the family. my aunt gets married in march, one cousin in may, the other cousin in june. what's up with people and getting married. today i bought a cupcake from some feminist organization in the student union. they informed me that women get paid 76 cents for every $1 that men make. this is true even in jobs like waiting tables. I would have thought it was the opposite for waiting tables. apparently it's not. now i am sharing my awareness that i bought for $1. but i am not sharing the cupcake.

i'm ready to be done with school. i only have one month and ten days left of my college career. unless i fail something of course. this past weekend i went to massachusetts for a job interview. it was a little intense. we were supposed to find out today whether we got the job or not, but so far i have not recieved any phone call indicating if they liked me or hated me. i kinda just want to lay in my bed right now, but i know i should go work out since it's the first time i have had time to go in 2 or 3 weeks. i'm so glad i don't work on mondays, and that i only have class. it makes me happy to not have to go to work. i requested off last thursday for my job interview and this thursday to go to devin's sister's wedding. they're going to hate me. i think i'm supposed to go this thursday if no one e-mails me saying they'll take my place, but i'm not going to. the wedding isn't until saturday, but i'm going to the rehearsal dinner friday and stuff, so devin and i want to go down there on thursday. i bought a pretty new dress to wear. it's really pretty. i was going to wear one of bridget's dresses, then i changed my mind. i did wear that dress to the wedding i went to with sara this past weekend. sara and i hung out with a hot 85 year old man a lot. he was such a funny little man. i hope i'm a funny little man some day.

this past weekend was our first home game of the year. and let me tell you it was fun. so was being completely hungover all day saturday, as i waited for devin to arrive. he didn't even get here until like 8 and i was mad because he was supposed to be here a lot earlier, but whatever, he got here and we ate lasagna and had fun. on sunday i made him go to a cultural festival at the botanical gardens. it was fun to eat strange foods and look at flowers. monday i took a day off from my life to spend it with devin. i wrote my independent study instructors and told them i was sick, and i didn't go to my sorority thing. in exchange i got to spend a wonderful rainy day with him before he had to go back to school. :( so today i came back to real life and worked and went to class and went to sorority stuff. sad stuff. also sad that i am watching dancing with the stars. but really there's nothing on, and i want to save my homework for work tomorrow. even though i've been getting busier and busier at work and not having time for homework. i might be coming home this weekend, but i don't really know. i'm still mulling it over in my head. there are things here i should be doing, so i don't know if i should go home. and that's the end of my story. p.s. i just went to click the update journal button, and i noticed it says update captain's log....

i should be riding my part of my senior design proposal. but am i? no. i need to finish it tonight. and start it. i've been so busy with school and work and sorority. this weekend is recruitment so we've had to prepare for that like crazy. and for senior design our propsal presentation is saturday. so i've been busy with that too. i'm just going and going and going. and bridget just told me she made grape salad for dessert. we get to try it in like an hour. it sounds scary. i tried some of irene's edimame yesterday. it was good. tasted sort of nutty. this past weekend i saw snakes on a plane. it was crazy. really really insane. and i was scared. but i don't like snakes. it was a fun triple date with devin and his friends and their gf's. the rest of the weekend was fun too, watched a boring OSU game, since they killed illinois. and now i'm actually going to write my paper. the end.

there is a man outside trying to push garbage bags filled with cans into his station wagon. he's loud. yesterday i went to an hour long aerobics class. and today i am in pain all throughout my body. we did toning and sculpting too. it hurts. you'd think it wouldn't since i work out almost everyday, however i guess i don't workout everyday like that. my arms didn't want to move when i woke up. it was actually slightly scary. my senior design group met for the first time yesterday. and we have to get a project proposal done in about a week and a half. but first we have to meet with our advisor and our client. this puts a damper on my weekend plans, since i was planning on going to OSU thursday night. however now i probably need to be in toledo on friday to go to this client's place of business. if we ever get a hold of him. this senior design thing is going to be a lot of work and i am not ready for it. now i'm gonna go walk around the track or something, try to loosen up these muscles of mine.

new week of class, and already things are messed up. one of my teachers canceled class last wednesday(we had the class first on monday), then we show up friday and he never shows up. so we show up today, and he never shows up. we then go to our advisor(there's only 3 of us in the class) we find out our teacher was in the hospital and taht's why he was not there wednesday, but no one has heard from him since that time. the secretary tried to call him at the hospital, but was not allowed to talk to him or something. so now we currently do not have a teacher and do not know when this one is coming back. we were told we have a couple options, either do absolutely nothing, or read the book on our own, and they would have a grad student available to answer questions for us. so we chose that option. it happens to be the same grad student who is doing the independent study for another class for me and bob. he's a nice guy, but does not want to do this other class, because he took it like 2 years ago, and doesn't really remember stuff. we're gonna meet with him on it next week anyway, but who knows, maybe our professor will be back by then. it seems like a very strange situation. why am i paying to go to school when i have 3 independent studies where i have to at least partially teach myself. i also got my senior design project today. i have to do risk assessment on saws cutting through electrical conduit in concrete. yeah. so exciting. it's really cold in this entire school building and i would like it to stop.
Current Mood:  confused

10:35 pm - i'm baaaaaaaaaack
today was the first day of classes, i only had like 2.5 two real classes and one independent study meeting. i hadn't gotten the book yet for that independent study, and the lady that's teaching us asked bob and i if we bought it yet, and he had, but i hadn't, so she said she has an extra i can use for the semester. so that was exciting. that just saved me a good $150. other than that, not a very exciting day. there's some older lady in one class with bob and i. and she asks questions, and we don't take kindly to people asking questions. i have a slightly english dude for my marketing class, he has a very slight accent, and it's nice to listen to. after all my classes today, i went on a walk with nicole(my new roommate) around the area. it was nice outside and the area was pretty nice too. tomorrow i think i will venture to the rec center, even though i know it's going to be insanely crowded. i don't have class tomorrow, so i plan on organizing my room some more, and perhaps going grocery shopping, even though our refrigerator is filled with butter.
