Last night, as I was driving home from class, I almost hit an animal that was standing in the middle of the road. When I say this, most people probably think deer, raccoon, opossum. All the usual suspects. No, no. This is my life, remember? Things are never normal in my life. I almost hit a cow last night. A cow. Bigger than my car. In the ( Read more... )

Going in to this week, I have 4 weeks remaining in this semester. These 4 weeks simply cannot go fast enough. I have reached burnout, and I feel like I can't do anymore. Last week I made a list of all assignments I need to complete by the end of the semester. The total came to 23. I was able to cross 3 off my list this weekend. 20 more to go ( Read more... )

When I woke up this morning, and looked out the window, I saw that it was... snowing. I thought I was going to cry. I am so sick of tired of having to deal with snow and cold. Last year I was prepared for it, and it was awful. I was so depressed all winter. This year, I'm not prepared for it in the least. I'm afraid that means I will get even ( Read more... )

I'm not even going to say it because everyone knows it is coming. I've been way too busy to update this thing. I suspect I won't have a free moment until December, since that's when my classes end ( Read more... )

Welcome to October. While the calendar says autumn, it always snows in October. Last year when the first snow fell, I said I thought I could handle winter. I didn't handle it very well at all, and this year I'm not even going to try and kid myself into thinking that I can handle it. I can't. If there is any good and kindness in this world, ( Read more... )

So yes, I got the cold. Today is the first day since I got it that I don't feel worse. Every night I went to bed thinking that there was no way I could possibly wake up the next morning and feel any worse, and every morning I woke up thinking I was dying. This cold completely knocked me off my feet. Perhaps I have now finally bottomed out, and ( Read more... )

Operation No Cold has failed.

Damn cold.

I'm not exactly sure how Operation No Cold is going. I have a stuffy nose, and a little cough, but I don't feel sick. It could be my allergies are acting up again. Autumn always gets my allergies going ( Read more... )

I'm in over my head this semester. Between working at the college, working at the store, and taking my four classes, I have to schedule time to breathe. I'm only 4 weeks in, and I still have 12 to go. I'm not sure how I'm going to survive ( Read more... )

My mother and I were working together at the store today when a shipment of new merchandise came in. Some Irish ornaments were part of that new merchandise, and one ornament was a shamrock with "Nollaig Shona Duit" written on it. Gaelic, for anyone that looks at that and goes, Huh ( Read more... )
