Outlook on life...
Oh, before I go to bed...
I read something really interesting, and its really...brilliant. Its the outlook on life I want, even if I don't always succeed.
"Live life like you're from the future and you came back in time. Every day is an extra day that you get, and you want to live it to the fullest."
I made up the words because its a concept, not a quote, so sorry that I'm not an English major. But you get the idea! Its hard to do exactly, because sometimes you just NEED to be lazy. But on the otherhand I realllly like the concept because it is something that occurs to be sometimes "oh man, if I could relive *this experience*, I could have done this!". Not to say that I have regrets, but hindsight is 20-20 and things that seemed so difficult or scary really weren't.
Anyhoo, yea, its nice to pretend that THIS is my second chance, that I'm doing things the "right way" this time.
That idea is the exact kind of thing to inspire me to clean my room and not live in filth. And I KNOW that we just had a weekend, but my current response to that is "I can do that on the weekend, when I have more time!". I never have time. I just need to do it.
Though I WANT to go home, I get to see Anna after her surgery and LAURA, a big part of me wants to stay. I wouldn't have to drive (which then I feel bad about because the red car gets ignored even longer). I would have time to work on my projects and essays that are coming up. I would be able to clean my room. I would be able to have more gayfests. This quarter is just so hectic leaving town just seems crazy. I could totally imagine not going home at all this quarter. And being ok with that.
BUT, on the other hand, theres LAURA! and ANNA!.
Haha, and then I have to go home the wknd after that TOOO, to housesit. :/ And thats the week before a presentation or too. Oy vey.
Ok, I should stop complaining about my stress to the interwebs and actually get to bed so I don't add more to my real life.
Loves!
But seriously, I feel bad about ignoring the red car. I feel like its similar to how I would feel if Max was up here. I love him and I love having him, but I don't feel like I can give him the care he deserves. *Sigh*

What day is it?
Hey there. Internet, how are you doing?
I had a very nice weekend. I was able to relax Friday, be productive Saturday, have fun Saturday night, and relax/be productive/have fun on Sunday.
Rachael and I went on chatroulette, just to experiment. It was interesting! We weren't completely mentally capable, if you know what I mean, so I don't remember everything. We weren't THAT incapable, but it just kind of blurs together. Its so hard to remember that random strangers on a little screen on the computer are real people. Its something thats hard yes, but I try really hard to do. I'm not sure if others out the world succeed as much. I kind of remember at one point when both Rachael and I were wearing masks and wigs, there were a few girls who asked us how we were, and we we responded/they got a chance to look at us, they were like, "EW, are you guys GAY?!" and ended our convo. I don't remember if thats exactly what they said, but I don't know what they were expecting. Did they think we were guys and thats why they were so sweet at first? Haha, so yea, it was interesting. I do think we had some good convos though. I think we talked with one guy about his beer for a few minutes. There weren't really any convos longer than that.
Sunday I watched Shelter, again. But this time it was with Sandy and Wesley, so at least it wasn't just me and youtube. Which sounds like I should be talking about xtube. But no seriously, its a great movie and I loved watching it again! With good quality video, too! I mean, I appreciate youtube being so kind and having it up there, but it is nice to watch the real version too. I'm so excited to share other gay movies I love with my friends!!! (And let them share with me!)
Anna, you'll love this: this morning I CHOSE to wake up at 6 am. I decided to save a little bit of my HW for morning, plus give myself PLENTY of time to shower, drink my coffee, and read the news. I love having time in the morning! Speaking of that, I have to get to bed after this post so I can wake up at 7am tomorrow morning. (Also 2 hours before I need to be in class).
Today we finally settled all of the Apex stuff, so we are good in terms of the roommate transfer! Which is good! I like getting that stuff settled. Its strangely stressful to think about. Probably the combination of responsibility plus spending money. The spending money the more stressful one. :)
Another stressful thing is the red car: I feel so bad, he's barely being driven! I drove him once a couple weeks ago to give him some exercise, but I just haven't had any time since! The real problem is that the parking lot is just so crowded, that if I go on a mini drive I'll lose my spot! I'll have to drive him a little around before I take him on the freeway, 0 - 60 probably isn't very nice... I seriously feel bad about this... :( I wish that it was summer so there were tons of spaces in the parking lot and no cars on the road (the time I am most consistently free at during the day just happens to be the time of highest traffic in bellingham, dinner time). Sigh.
Well this evening I went to a French movie thing that my teacher held. We watched The Orders, a film from Quebec. It was interesting! We couldn't get the subtitles to work however, and considering they have very strong accents, it was hard to understand the words they were saying. Though it was pretty easy to follow what was happening based on facial expressions and lots of scenes w/o words. When I decided to go I knew there wasn't going to be extra credit, but because there were only 5 of us, she jokingly said we'd get some. Don't know if we will for real or not....
Ugh I still feel bad about the red car. :(
The style of a blog, kind of following the stream of consciousness is reminding me of the book I'm reading. "La douleur" by Duras.
Damn I feel bad about the red car. I wish I was home at a time of day when there wasn't a packed parking lot. Its so tight, even if there was still a spot. UGH.
Oh, and I'm going home this weekend! Not sure what time though. I want to drive after dark because I like driving on the freeway when its just me and the road. I'm giving Lindsay a ride though and I'm not sure how she feels about late. (Like leaving at 8 or 9, arriving at 10ish.) If I do that I can't visit Anna in the hospital Friday night though. The problem is that if I leave any earlier it'll be the exact opposite, traffic. I can't leave before the traffic because of class.
Damn, I have a entretiens thursday. Can't forget about that!
Ok, now I really have to go get ready for bed and sleeeep. I gotta wake up in 7.5 hrs! (Not bad)
Ok, bye bye internet. Thanks for listening! And feel free to drive the red car because I seriously have no time to...

Bus ride...
How come the bus ride that I happen to sit next to the creepy guy who wants to talk to me, the bus breaks down?! He was talking about how he is going to change the world, open up his own business and be wealthy, go to community college for his associates, then go to UCLA or Harvard for his bachelors... The conversation wasn't horrible, but I definitely wouldn't have chosen to have it... He had a creepy smile and spoke quietly so I had to lean in some to hear him... There were a few other guys sitting near by who kinda smiled at some of the more awkward things he said... Like how he goes to church to meet girls. (Paraphrased...).
But seriously, I've never been on a bus that broke down. We were at BT and the door wouldn't shut!! We were there for at least 5 minutes, with her calling people, trying to turn the bus on and off, trying to just leave, and trying over and over and over to shut them. Eventually she kicked them and they shut!
Anyhoo, that was yesterday but the fact that I'm still...annoyed by it is saying something!!! :)

Nervous
I have my first presentation tomorrow. I haven't really felt nervous this week because we've been spreading out the workload all week long. However, now that its time to actually familiarize myself with my speech and go to bed, its hitting me. My presentation is in 12 hrs!
I'm really sleepy. I want to go to bed. I'm thinking about doing my reading for other classes really quick and getting ready for bed. I'll take my speech and lay in bed and practice enough times that I don't have to read it.
Hmm... something just occurred to me. I have a quiz tomorrow. I really do want to go to bed soon, take advantage of this wave of sleepiness. I'm sure it'll take me time to get to sleep, I shouldn't push it. Maybe instead of working from 10-12 tomorrow, I'll take those two hours off and do my reading and study for my quiz. I can go into work from 3-5. I obviously won't WANT to work then, but there will be bagels. That will make work better.
Ok, well thats my update. I do think this will go well. My part isn't too long, so I'm the one who prepped the quiz that we give to the kids and printed off the excerpt that we have to analyze. Oops! I have to cut the quizzes in half! (Two per page)
Man, theres a lot of stuff I forgot about! Thats what happens when I don't even get home til 7:30pm. My whole evening is just thrown off!!
Well now I definitely have to go! Adios!

I have to pee.
Hey there, ok so I finished my quebec, lit and chanson HW, so I'm taking a mini break.
Right now I'm listening to Beethoven and its very relaxing.
I have to pee. I could go potty, but I decided "I will start working again after I go potty...", so I'm holding it in for a bit.
I was talking to Michael (from HS) and realized how I really like having this much to do because when I have too much time I procrastinate, which is stressful. When I have a lot to do I organize, plan and don't let myself procrastinate (as much), making things easier.
I have a serious confession. I think I like waking up early. I've always liked being awake early - how much daylight there is, how much you can get done in the morning hours, etc. However, I've always hated waking up early. Biologically speaking, I am a night person. I have overslept, never to a point where I'm screwed, but to the point where I can't make my coffee in addition to everything else I need to do. But I don't WANT to sleep in. I don't want to stay in bed. I love being able to wake up early, having a nice shower, make my coffee and drink it leisurely while going online. I mean, its good that I like this because it is life to me now (I have to wake up between 6:30-8am, depending on the day of the week). I'd be screwed if it was a battle every morning. I feel weird, being the only energetic one on the bus and in class. Coffee works for me, I guess!!
On that note: coffee. I am clearly a coffee drinker now. I get headaches if I don't have it. :( Though not bad ones, and not always. I don't drink coffee everyday, just most the time... On Thursdays I get to sleep in til at least 8, sometimes even 9(!). I don't need coffee. Plus I'm at work all day theres always the option to have coffee there, so theres no need to make it in the morning. And when I'm at work, I normally decide not to bother making it. I tried decaf for the first time last weekend. I think that is a sign that coffee is not only a drug, its also a treat. I had it just for the flavor. So weird! I still remember so easily not liking coffee, thinking it was disgusting. I can't remember what it used to taste like to me, but I remember the feeling. I even tried a few sips of just straight black coffee -- it wasn't something I would choose to drink yet, but it wasn't bad. I like my sugar, but I didn't cringe at the taste of straight black coffee.
I really really have to pee now, but now am delaying. I think until 9. At 9, I have to work.
I have a presentation this Friday and a group meeting tomorrow. We decided we would have our speeches ready for tomorrow, and our exact information for the powerpoint. I don't want to prepare either. Its the HW I'm putting off for last!
Its student appreciation week at work, and they're bringing in tons of desserts all week long. Doesn't work so well with the whole "trying to eat less bad food" thing.
I've noticed a new sleeping pattern. I have a range that isn't good sleeping. If I sleep less than say, 7 hours, I'm fine. If I sleep more than maybe 10, I'm fine. In between, I'm fine once I wake up, but its really hard to get up. (And I oversleep). I never noticed this before because I used to get little sleep during the week, and lots on the weekends. Now that I'm trying to go to bed early, I realize I'm weird! I went to bed last night around 9:30 because I was sleepy and figured it was a good idea. I woke up at 4, very awake, but let myself go back to bed (which luckily I'm always able to do). When I woke up at 7, I was more sleepy. Last time I went to bed at that time, I had the same thing happen!! Very annoying. :)
Anyway, its time to get back to HW and more importantly, PEE.

Just a little update...
I don't have too much time for a long update..which is kind of the story as to why this blog is getting updated less often.
The quarter is still extremely busy, but its manageable. The course-load hasn't changed, but my mentality has. It takes a lot of organization, an effort to minimize procrastination and the acceptance that I will just have less free-time to do what I want.
Normally on weekends I like to be as lazy as possible. Sometimes friends come over, sometimes I hang out with my roommate, sometimes I just nap and play games and watch TV shows. Either way, I rarely leave the apartment. The sun coming out corresponds well with my need to not just stay in my apartment. For instance, yesterday I had a group project meeting on campus. I decided to walk instead of take the bus. It was a wonderful decision. It was like it was a break and something fun to do outside, plus it was productive. On the way back I walked with one of the group members who is also a friend, so I got socialization in as well. That plus the necessary grocery shopping, it turned into a very productive Saturday afternoon.
Its 6pm and I've already done my Quebec HW, my Lit HW and my political-song class HW. All I have left is reading for Psych and Sociolinguistics, and preparing my portion of a group project for my first presentation on Friday.
I wanted to take a break and either go on a walk with Lindsay or go play frisbee with Sandy, but both said no. I think my desire to go outside is stronger than others. :) I mean, they were doing HW, and if I went and played outside I would have to do HW later into the night, so its actually good to not go out and play. But still sad. :)
Ok, so here is what my week looks like as far as I can tell:
Monday:
Class/work -- 8am - 3pm
Group meeting -- 3pm - ?
HW/Dinner
Tuesday:
Class/work -- 9am-5pm
HW/Dinner
French Coffee Table (what I call it - talk French for fun w/ Friends) 7pm -
HW
Wednesday:
Class/work -- 8-3pm
Group meeting -- 3pm - 5ish
Tutoring 5-8ish
HW as necessary (if too much for Friday)
FREE?
Thursday:
Work -- 9am - 5pm
French Guest speaker 3pm
HW/Dinner (Presentation prep?) -- 5pm -
Friday:
Class/work/presentation - 8am - 3pm
FREEEEEEEEEEE
Telling you guys my schedule for the week goes with the "organization" thing I was referring to earlier. Its really just for me. :)

Busy Quarter
This will be a busy quarter.
Just for tomorrow, I have to read 6 pages/answer 18 questions, read a poem/answer 6 questions, read 9 pages, read a song/find vocab and read 23 pages (the only english one).
That might not sound horrible, but it will be SO easy to forget homework. Plus its only the first week! This isn't a good sign of whats to come...
