pulling me through
As most of you know, this school year (so far, anyway) has been quite tough. There have been apartment problems, mounds of schoolwork (and accompanying stress), and roommate issues galore. I could handle two out of the above three, but all together they are killing me. Luckily, Reading Week is next week. I just have to get through one more midterm ( Read more... ) -
nothing in particular
Valentine's Day. Usually I spend today mocking people who have real things to do today, with candy and flowers and significant others (gagging as I type, I hate that expression). But unfortunately, I have too much work to do, so the mocking will recommence next year, I guess. Maybe I'm maturing! (Probably not ( Read more... ) -

I honestly don't know what to say anymore. There have been a series of small disasters since I last posted in here. It seems like every time something starts to go even the tiniest bit right, another five things go wrong ( Read more... ) -
civil war skeletons in their graves
Things are looking up, as weird as that seems after a semester and three weeks of unrelenting stress. The workload hasn't changed, but I've discovered the key to everything: organisation. A to-do list, people. And tomorrow afternoon, I will be sitting in the cafe around the corner from my apartment, crossing things off one at a time ( Read more... ) -
what to say, what to say
The Internet is reeling from Heath Ledger's death. I don't even know what to say. It is totally stunning. I thought Amy Winehouse was teetering on the edge there, but no, instead it's Ennis del Mar. WHAT.
Anyway, I loved Heath in such classics as Brokeback Mountain, Ned Kelly, and Monster's Ball. AND, of course, 10 Things I Hate About You. So RIP ( Read more... ) -
is this what you want?
Theoretically, I like school. I like the idea of learning really obscure philosophical systems and reading 17th-century poetry that no one else cares about. But I can't seem to work up any practical interest. I fail at life these days. I don't know what to do ( Read more... ) -
keeping things clean doesn't change anything
I'm bored. I have a lot of reading I could be doing, both school-related and pleasure. I could clean my apartment. I could talk to my roommates. I could do any number of things, but I don't want to do anything at all other than complain about being bored. Yes, it is One of Those Moods ( Read more... ) -
blah blah blah
I'm not having a good time of it right now. We were without heat and electricity for a while. Then as soon as that was fixed, the fridge and our wireless router both broke. Probably because of the power surge, but we don't know, because we're waiting for someone to come look at the fridge. We've been without it now since Monday afternoon, so the ( Read more... ) -
didn't know it was a devil town
I forgot how annoying it is to be constantly freezing. My parents' house had actual heat! Oh, my apartment is so crappy. Heh. I'm wearing leggings and pajama pants and two sweaters and big slippers and I'm still cold ( Read more... ) -
the year that was
Happy New Year, everyone ( Read more... )
