young, broke and beautiful

Procrastination to the extreme

It’s those times where you have a really important assignment due the next day that you decide that you:

1) NEED to change your profile picture on FB,
2) Write on people’s FB walls because it’s their birthday and you’re not really close friends, but you decide, what the hell,
3) Have long chats with your roommate about how exciting the weekend was when you were away,
4) Look thru iPhoto looking for a new profile picture but end up reminiscing about the summer and how the long weekend is less than a week away.

You do everything BUT write your damn paper…

that was due last Wednesday.

some people just know how to make others smile

so being still sick, i’m too lazy to make myself lunch, so i went to get something from a place on campus. there, i ran into my friend who was at the meeting i missed yesterday because i was dying. he asked me how i was, and i just did a thumbs down. then he told i looked nice, and that totally made me smile more than anything today.

little known fact about me #5

This semester, I have a specific pen I really like to use to take notes. It’s blue. There’s nothing special about it either. But when it runs out/I lose it, I’m going to be pretty upset.

so i've spent most of today dying

this is probably the worst sickness i’ve ever had while at school. yesterday the stuffiness started, and by midnight, i’d pretty much gotten a full fledged fever. i’m not gonna lie, i for reals thought i had swine, and asked my roommate if she would still be my friend if i did have it.

this morning, it had not gotten any better. my roommate told me i should probably stay in bed and get better because my head was really hot and i felt absolutely awful. so i ended up skipping all three classes I had today, which sucked a lot because one of them was a once a week class, and those are the hardest to miss because there’s so much freaking stuff you miss in almost three hours of teaching. i also had a paper due today and since i couldn’t really look at my computer without my head pounding until about half an hour ago, i still haven’t started it. the only good thing about BC this year is they are being nice about the whole “if you’re sick don’t worry about anything” so i emailed all my teachers and so far the two that have responded have been pretty nice about it. i’m sure they were just thankful i didn’t go to class because they didn’t want to get sick.

you would think spending all day in bed would be kind of alright, but in fact, when you have a fever, it’s pretty awful. i got chills, i was hot and cold constantly, i would wake up sweating, i couldn’t eat anything, i had to force a waffle down because i felt weak. a shower i took did nothing but make me really really cold after i got out. light hurt, i couldn’t even spend my day on the computer because it hurt, i couldn’t put music on because my head hurt. seriously, being sick sucks a lot.

i just recently finally got my appetite back, so i’ve been eating the most random things: cereal, bologna, yogurt, juice, and i’m about to make myself some tater tots because i need something warm to eat and i really don’t want soup. i feel awful not being able to do any of my homework, but i just can’t. it really sucks. this is one of the few times i’ve ever thought, damn, i really wish i could go to class or do my homework.

so i’m hoping by tomorrow morning my fever will have completely gone away so maybe i can start that paper and get better because i really cannot miss the retreat i’m actually excited to go on this weekend.

this is my life right now. writing about how sick i am. now if only i could get this same energy to write my television criticism paper, i’d be all set.

little known fact about me #4

I am that vain. I asked my friend to take a picture of me last Saturday because I thought I looked nice and didn’t want to waste it. At least I can admit it.

little known fact about me #3

I am such psych major. As is my roomie. We analyze everyone and everything sometimes. Including ourselves. But mostly other people. We even have our own case study. When we look back, we think about why certain emotions happened and what caused them to happen and all that stuff people usually refer to as “psych mumbo jumbo.” I love it.

little known fact about me #2

Everytime I get sick (which is pretty much every other week, or every week when I’m lucky), I’m constantly amazed by the amount of snot I can produce. How does this happen? Where does it come from? How is my nose ALWAYS full???

little known fact about me #1

When I eat Cup Noodles, I empty out all of the “vegetables” in the garbage first and then put the hot water in. I’ve only met one other person ever who does the same thing.
