2:31 pm	Smokey The Bear reminds you to practice fire safety, kids! Today marks two Independence Day firsts: 1) The first time I've ever seen a smoke bomb -explode-, and 2) The first time I've actually sustained firework burns. I've got this perfect little spatter pattern up my forearm and around the back of my shoulder. Watch out this 4th, kids! Only YOU can prevent forest fires.

10:56 pm	Final doctor's appointment for a while today. I have "early PCOS," "early endometriosis," and an unspecified hormonal imbalance (not thyroid). I also have painkillers I can take without puking, and birth control pills. Four periods a year, baby. Yeah. *dance* Current Mood: okay Current Music: Turning -- Les Miserables (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:33 pm	I don't really know what to make of my classes this quarter. I pulled a Kristin yesterday. We had this timed essay exam in anthro last Friday, and I panicked all weekend, expecting something along the lines of a 2.5. Seriously, I don't think you could actually call what I turned in an essay. But the teacher was apparently on crack, and gave me a 4.0. I had to go talk to her after class to make sure she hadn't made a mistake. She said no, so, evidently, she's STILL on crack. Maybe I'll ask her again next week, after the high wears off a bit. So my grades are fine in that class. Bio, on the other hand, seems so simple that I didn't bother to crack a book before my first midterm, and then I got an 80%. Disappointing. Guess it's my fault for not studying. But we get to drop one, so as long as I study for the next one, it should be okay. Drama, I have no idea. I get that grade back on Monday, and I don't think it's going to be great. Bah, humbug. The 18th of August can't get here fast enough.

11:34 pm	I'm tired. And confused. Saw Nikky today, though, which was cool. Missed 'im a lot, so it was nice to catch up. I got a shoulder massage from him on a bus, and we talked about former crushes on teachers. It was nice. I saw Brittany, too, which was also very nice. But she was unresponsive, mostly. Didn't want to talk about what I wanted to talk about. Oh well. It was good to finally see her, even if she is confusing at times. I'm starting a relatively strict diet tomorrow. Luck wishes'd be appreciated. And....bed now. Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: The Runaway Cart -- Les Miserables (Comment on this)

12:29 pm	Step 1: Pull up a map of the UW--Seattle campus online. Step 2: Locate Hutchinson Hall (hint: it's in the upper right hand corner). Step 3: Locate Hitchcock Hall (hint: It's in the lower left hand corner). Step 4: Assume ten minutes maximum to get from Point A to Point B. Step 5: Factor in a 34-pound backpack. Step 6: Factor in high-heeled shoes. Step 7: Factor in f***king asthma. I hate summer. But my classes are great thus far, so it's all good, I guess. My feet hurt. And I had to get up at 5 to catch a bus here, and the bus was standing room only, and that sucked too. Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Cocaine -- Eric Clapton (4 Comments |Comment on this)

3:51 pm	The Gymnast's Prayer "Now as I warm up for this meet I pray my past scores I will beat And if I fail amidst the cheers I pray I can hold back my tears And one more thing, success or not: I pray the creator of beam be shot!" Hee. I liked beam, so that's not fully accurate. But it's funny. Current Mood: amused (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:06 am	Introduction to Psych = 4.0 Ethnographies of Education = 4.0 Introduction to Social Welfare = 4.0 GPA for the quarter = 4.0 Cumulative GPA = 3.37 Wow. That hasn't happened since community college--actually, that time in community college it was 4 4.0's and a withdrawal, so I guess that hasn't happened since high school. Granted, I was taking piss-easy classes, but I'm still excited. Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: C'est La Vie -- Bob Seger (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:02 pm	I don't know what to make of Lost and Delirious. It was SO good...for the first forty-five minutes or so. Then, it was like staring into the headlight of an oncoming train. You know exactly what's going to happen, and you know it's going to hurt like hell, and you realize that if you move out of the way you'll be able to avoid it...but you can't move. You just watch. And then it hits. And you think, "Damn." I can't decide whether I loved it or hated it. I certainly loved the first half. The second...I'm not sure. I DO know that I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight. Current Mood: uncomfortable Current Music: I Wonder -- Kellie Pickler (Comment on this)
5:25 pm	Movies I'd like reviews for, if anyone's seen them: Fingersmith Tipping the Velvet The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls In Love Desert Hearts Show Me Love The Truth About Jane Spaceballs Robin Hood:  Men In Tights Movies I've acquired to watch within the next few days: Saved! Better Than Chocolate Lost and Delirious If These Walls Could Talk 2 Boys Don't Cry The Adventures of Priscilla:  Queen of the Desert (yay) Caddyshack Movies I'd like to acquire at some point in the near future: Fingersmith Ma Vie En Rose Loving Annabelle Anything else off of list #1, assuming the reviews are good Current Mood: bored Current Music: Don't Stand So Close To Me -- The Police (5 Comments |Comment on this)
10:08 am	The good news is, I raised my grades enough to stay in Honors. The bad news is, I didn't get the job. They decided to go with someone older, who hasn't volunteered as much within the Center but has done more on the "social justice front" in the Seattle community. So, I guess I try to get a job in food service somewhere near school. Current Mood: disappointed Current Music: Kick My Ass -- Big & Rich (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:48 pm	So, I got a 4.0 in psych, despite skipping class for three weeks straight (technically, because of the four hours worth of extra credit I did, my final grade is actually a 4.2). Let this be a lesson to those of you who told me skipping would hurt my grade. Fwar. I'm knitting a tank top, and it's coming out quite nicely, and I'll probably post pictures of it here when it's finished (which won't be for a few days). West Side Story kicked @$$. Think that's all. I'm drinking Bawls, and knitting a couple more rows, and then I'm going to bed. Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Greased Lightning -- Grease (Comment on this)

11:23 am	So, today, I have to go back to school, check out a vacuum, take it upstairs, vacuum, take it downstairs, go back upstairs, get the ladder and router, take the router downstairs, fill out paperwork, return the router to the front desk, go downstairs further, fill out paperwork, return the ladder, go back upstairs, talk to Kristin about moving my checkout appointment to either 3 this afternoon or early tomorrow morning, and come home. Then I'm going to Devin's graduation. W00t! Devin rocks! I <3 him so. And...then I'm going to knit something. Because it's been almost a quarter since I knit anything, and now I have two weeks ahead of me with nothing much of importance to do. West Side tomorrow!!!!! *spazzes* Current Mood: blah Current Music: Some People Change -- Montgomery Gentry (7 Comments |Comment on this)

9:05 pm	So I'm kinda-sorta out of the dorms. My stuff isn't there any more, but I haven't "officially" checked out and turned in my keys and such. I won't get to do that until Friday. Now, apartment. Need. NOW. Current Mood: tired Current Music: A Little Respect -- Erasure (2 Comments |Comment on this)
