*backhands Emma... in a nice way.* Razz

Today I was going to get up at eight, but it got to the time and I was like: 'Wah, huh, guh? School? What's that then? ... Mmm, snooze is warm' Awake now though. Just, kinda. Jimeny Cricket it's cold. My hands have gone numb while I've been typing this.

Today I shall endeavour to go to the ethics lecture in six minutes time, my friend is going and he hasn't been to a lecture for this course yet so...

*shiver* dang it's cold

Today I groggily resume my regular school schedule, no more breaks until after exams... ugh.

Got home at one this morning, and got woken up at 6:30 by my dog whining outside my door. Decided to take advantage of the early start (after taking the dog out) to get some more work done. Now it's 9, and I regret the fact that it takes so darn long to type in Hebrew, and all my procrastinating and doing things I shouldn't have this weekend... kind a wish I didn't have Hebrew first thing. Oh well. One more hour, let's see if I can make it a round six out of eleven required essays done...

I'm also going to risk taking my computer to school and finishing the essays there, hope I don't get sidetracked by the intarwebs again.

Today I am giddy because I realized that I only have this week and next week to get through before the semester's over.

Last night I finished my final paper for Sociology. It still needs some work, but woop! I'm done! ^____^

Today I want to sleep.

Today I'm nauseous because I only have this week and next week to get through all the work left before the semester's over. *shakes fist* Darn you, Procrastination Man! You've ruined my life once again!

Today Miho is gonna go to work and stuff.

Today Miho is kinda dead...

Today Miho has somewhat of a date tonight... I think tin might have heard that conversation if he was paying attention to my telephone call last night.

Today I finished my essay, it was a deceptively simple question and turned out to be a bit harder than I expected. It's not a great essay but I'll see if I can touch it up before I hand it in on Wednesday.

Today I feel like there is something else I should be saying and I have no idea what it is.

Today I spent about four hours helping a work friend with Infinitesimal Analysis, a neighbor with Discrete Math and my sister with Mathematical Logic. Today I spent about three and a half hours traveling. Today I spent about ten hours working.

Today I didn't get to do much else. =/ Maybe I'll have more time tomorrow. Gnight, forum...

Britland's description of her essay is suspiciously similar to mine, down to the due date.

This evening I realized I left my gloves on the bus this morning. *grumblegrumblegrumbleclenchteeth*

Today I have two more Hebrew essays to write, and can't get up the energy to do it. Especially since I realized I left my gloves on the bus.

I'm struck with the desire for the semester to NOT end, because then I won't have to turn in final reports, projects and sundry exams.

Today I helped my boss unload supplies, fixed up the attendance sheet, called people, and made too many copies. I'm confused, am I still working there or not?

Today I volunteered at the local library. I'll be cleaning the keyboards of the public computers on Fridays.

Here's hoping I get an actual paying job soon.

Today I found out that my hospitalized friend has had his status changed to a voluntary patient. This means he can leave whenever he wants. The doctors want to keep him in for another week for observation. This is great as it shows a huge improvement over what he was like two weeks ago; even I could tell when I visited him. In other news I found out that my resting heart beat is 54 B.P.M. While it is of very limited relevance it made me chirpy all day. I bought Ice age three and Transformers revenge of the fallen because I have yet to see them and I want some escapism for tomorrow.

That’s it, have a good night all.

Today I wrote down my dream from last night, and it took my five hours. I don't think I'll post this one, for two reasons. One, it features a lot of friends. Two, I don't want people to think I'm really as crazy as my subconscious makes me out to be. ^_^

Today I downloaded the entire musical score from an old SNES game called "Chrono Trigger".

Today I listened to This American Life a bit. I catch pieces of it on the radio at work, but it's still an amazing show that I LOVE hearing all the way through. This may have contributed to the massive slowdown in my dream transcription of the past two hours...

Today I ponder the meaning of life, the relevance of relationships, and just what this thing called "trust" actually is. I contemplate the paradoxes in my life. For example, there is the impossible will to continue in the face of diversity, and yet I lack the motivation to do very minor and mundane things. It's as if I'm aspiring to be a hero, but can't fathom being a person.

Actually, I think that's a fairly apt description of the problem most people in my age group face.

Woop! Glad to hear it Anthrax!

Tonight I am happy. It was gorgeous outside and I drove with the windows down. It was also freezing, but I didn't really notice the cold so much.

A note on my previous status, I finished writing down my dream. It came in at over 8200 words and 10 pages. Suffice to say, I won't be posting it... Lol
