July 5-26 and I can't wait!

Having a broken leg still sucks, though at least I'm in a removeable air cast; go in for more x-rays tomorrow to see how it's coming along.  I like to play the game "touch my atrophied muscle" with people, but someone told me today it sounds dirty; I hadn't thought of it in that way.  At least I can walk on it some; that doesn't stop the muscle ( Read more... )

Fibula definitely broken, but according to UCLA doctor and radiologist, tibia possibly not; at least, no break is apparent in the x-ray.  To be safe, wearing boot and staying off leg for two weeks.  No cast for now, hopefully not all.  Heal leg, heal ( Read more... )

Quarter speeding away; summer approacheth.  Where do I find money to get home?  What about my car?  For how long can I extend my emissions test?  How am I going to pay rent/ phone bills/ credit cards/ gas/ electric?  Second job at school?  Maybe tutoring?  Why haven't I researched my papers yet?  Am I organized/ ready enough to apply for a ( Read more... )

Because yes, crazy people are not hard to find in the Valley.  Going home yesterday this man with long, scraggly grey hair got on the bus.  It's difficult to describe his outfit: imagine what, for lack of a better term, I will call "Oriental" fabric, in that it was red and shiny with Chinese-like embroidery on it; this was his pantsuit.  Pantsuit ( Read more... )

I've always been a fan, but some days really remind me that fucking crazy people ride the bus.  Damn, lady, you could at least move at the way for a kid to walk by.  Oh, and you, why not wait for the person in the wheelchair to situate themselves before pushing past?  Mr. Can't-Stop-Laughing, please don't look at me.  Mr. Pint-of-Cheap-Whiskey- ( Read more... )

Second week of the quarter officially over.  Didn't get as much done as I had planned over break, but that's to be expected.  Both sisters had their babies.  Katy on-time, 3/20, Amanda a bit early, 3/25.  Amanda had an emergency C-section because her son (Teddy) wasn't moving and his vitals were way down; he apparently had an infection; spent the ( Read more... )

Swahili word of the day: arusi (wedding)

And feeling slightly refreshed.  Quarter is almost over (just two more days, final on Monday, short paper due Monday); I emailed my prof my 23-page badboy on Monday because  I was out of town and wouldn't be in class Tuesday; handed a paper copy to him today and he informed me that he doesn't download papers.  I informed me that I just wanted him ( Read more... )

Getting ready for the LA Bike Tour on March 4; huzzah.  Finally feel in school-mode, which is great considering it's the 7th week of the quarter (out of 10).  Oh well.  Reading.
