My Brain is Full

Posting on the request of a certain best friend who occaisionally hates me for not communicating with her. Forgive me, Nori. 

Hello world.

Today is a crucial day (grade-wise) for me. I have two tests tomorrow and one on Friday. I need to study A LOT. In this situation last semester, I wouldn’t have been able to even touch my computer without having a severe guilt attack because I wasn’t studying. But today I feel oddly calm. I’m not freaking out. This may mean that an extra-crazy attack of panic is coming later tonight, or that I’m having an identity crisis. I’ve always been the girl who freaks out about grades… what is happening to me?

I have to memorize twenty-some minerals, their qualities (color, luster, chemical reactions, crystalline structure, etc.) for a geology lab test next Tuesday. I just got this assignment yesterday. This reminds me of memorizing different types of muscle tissue (I think) the morning before the lab practical last year in bio. I hate this frantic memorization. I HATE it.

College is a sort of sad place right now. My friends have suffered the loss of two fish, Bruno and Samson, in the last few days. As those poor fish were my dear god-children, I am lamenting their deaths. On a less animal-related note, D is really quite sick. Now that she sleeps all the time, I’ve realized how much I depend on her for stuff. She’s the one who reassures me about geology (AHHHH!!) and commiserates with me and answers all the questions that I would normally ask an advisor (D is much more helpful than an advisor). Now I have to be all independent and stuff. Ick.

So I really feel like going shopping this weekend. I need a little retail therapy. I just got two pairs of shoes, so I can cross that off the list of possible impulse buys in the near future, but I could use another poster. I want to rearrange my walls. I have a lot of space on them, but I’m not utilizing it. There’s also a cool movie store in the mall around here that I’d really like to hit up.  Lately my movie collection has been growing by one movie nearly every week. Last three purchases: Practical Magic, Shakespeare in Love, and The Witches of Eastwick. I haven’t watched the last two yet.

My roommate’s favorite movie is Big Fish, so we all watched it two weekends ago. There was a little movie party going on up in my room, complete with burnt popcorn, oatmeal (apples and cinnamon!!!), and some furniture rearranging so that everyone could see the movie. Needless to say, the preparation for the actual viewing of the movie took about an hour. I really like Ewan McGregor, and he was excellent in that movie. I think it might be the next movie to magically appear on my movie shelf (very soon).  

Now for a little entertainment.

I love this pic.

Even though his name is Zuma, he’s very cute . And his mom is my idol. :)

Nori, when you design my house and all the rooms in it, keep this picture in mind. It’s awesome. It’s like living inside a book, which I’ve always wanted to do. Lol.

In spite of all the insanity this week and next week, I am looking forward to a few things.

1. Grey Day is on Thursday (wear grey because you all love Grey’s Anatomy!!!). It’s going to be AWESOME. One word – Addison. Another word – proposal? Okay, it was a question, but still. How can anyone not be excited? I am THRILLED. CAN’T WAIT. REALLY.
2. This weekend, although packed with endless CRAP-TASTIC WORK, will still include some down time. I’m really looking forward to it… I’m going to watch all of the episodes of Brothers and Sisters that I’ve missed. Good show.
3. My favorite artsy/blogger/cool person is having a baby next week!! I can’t wait to find out what she will name it.

Well, I ‘m going to try be productive now. Wish me luck.

Adios!
