I think English Composition is my least favorite class. I hate writing essays.

We had to put Fluffy to sleep on Friday... breast cancer finally overtook her. :(

Even MORE shiznit on the school front

I got a job through my school as a tutor for ePortfolio.org. And I didn't even have to do anything! Yay! But that's so much walking back and forth... ugh... as if I don't walk enough to/from/around campus already... Oh well. It's good exercise. *looks out window* PLEASE DON'T RAIN TOMORROW. I really don't like the idea of walking to school in the rain, even for that piddly 15 minutes.

Today I fell asleep on the living room floor while petting Nubby (she's been hiding under the couch since she came here). The wooden living room floor. For almost an hour.

Me? Tired? Noooooo.

ETA: Why can I hear my landlord's footsteps so clearly when he's on the first floor of this house?

I applied for a job at college, and also asked my algebra professor how I'd go about starting a study group (the kids in my class aren't getting the concept whatsoever; my professor told me that I was a good candidate to start a study group because I "have a better grasp on algebra" than most of the other students. What a compliment~).

Both of these things I did yesterday.

When did I get to be so proactive? :O

Two weeks down, yay! I actually like school, despite all the work. English is the worst with that. Bleargh, I like writing but not writing essays. I feel like I can never properly get my message across. Pffffah.

Holy crap school starts on Monday. Since it's 12am EST Sunday, that means...TOMORROW.

I met a few cool people at orientation. One girl I talked with I thought was pretty awesome until she brought up the fact that she went to Twicon while we were on the way to her car and I sort of blanked out that part of the conversation. But to tl;dr students seem nice, teachers seem nice, and I hope I have a good first semester. I feel so oooooooold in comparison to the other students I saw there...

More on feeling old, I was doing some algebra homework today and had to keep referring to the chapters. I told my mom that it made me feel stupid; she reminded me that I hadn't taken any sort of algebra class since 9th grade... eleven years ago. How the hell did time go by that fast? That's not allowed to happen. D:

I'm glad I can sleep in on Monday if my landlord's alarm doesn't wake me up again. Class doesn't start until 3:20 yay. I'm nervous and excited though. Looking forward to, like... having a life that doesn't involve forced hermitude. 'Cause I've been there and trust me, it's no way to live.

More shiznit on the school front

Got all but two of my schoolbooks for the semester. A guy actually said "Holy crap!" when Mom and I came out of the bookstore hauling not one but two bags of books. $535 in total... thank GOD for that grant, otherwise I'd be screeeeewed.

NOT HAPPY that my period's due on the first day of classes. That's just cruel, body of mine.

I'm a loser lol

The last thing I need is to join more book clubs, yet I can't... resist... cheap... books... especially cheap books with ZOMBIES.

Really, I think all the Twilight/True Blood/Anita Blake/other vampire shite (but mostly Twilight) I've seen lately has made me more inclined to go zombie. Which brings me to today's poll.

So today I cried for about two hours, seriously contemplated the merits of killing myself, called my dad and left him a message that I didn't want to move because he and mom were right and the place is disgusting. Then I ate about four brownies, nearly vomited, submitted my final project, walked the dogs, and all was right with the world.

Now it's too late to play Suikoden Tierkreis. :(

What. The. Fuck.

2009-08-05T01:31:27Z

I haven't moved into the apartment yet; I'm starting to doubt how much my parents trust my competence. I'll be the first one to admit that my apartment has flaws and my landlord isn't the most handy guy, but for fuck's sake the way my mom and dad go on about how the place is you'd think I was moving into a fucking tenement. I have my reasons for choosing that apartment (it's within walking distance to the school, it allows pets, it's roomy enough for Joey and I to keep from bumping heads, literally and figuratively). They're upset at the landlord for a ton of reasons, one of which being that the carpets are "disgusting". Yeah, the carpets could be in better shape, but I have a vacuum. I have carpet cleaner. What's the big deal? Am I being naive?

I have my own problems with the place, too. There aren't any counters in the kitchen so I have nowhere to prepare food. The walls need to be sanded in some spots, filled then repainted (he painted over the wallpaper in the living room. Yeah, I don't know). If I do these things on my own my landlord may cut me a break in the rent. I wouldn't mind doing them on my own... I'm a carpenter's daughter.

I could go on and on about this apartment thing. I'll just stop there. The situation's just got me mad at my parents because I feel like they're second-guessing my choice on where to live. I hate that. I want to yell at them and remind them that I'm only going to live in this place for two years while I go to school. It's not that much time in the long run... Besides, I have a cat. A very furry cat. I'll be vacuuming that "disgusting" carpet at least three times a week, what with the fur and litter mess he usually makes.

Another thing is that my weekends this month are so occupied with family functions that I don't know when the fuck I'm even going to be able to move my shit into the place. Joey works every day during the week, as does Steven and my dad and my cousins and my mom's boyfriend. My mom and I can't move my and Joey's stuff because we both have back problems. I still don't have a bed to sleep on. We can't do jack until the weekend, and then there's some fucking thing we're expected to go to. I want to tear my hair out because of all this. I'm paying for rent and utilities in a place that I'm not even partially inhabiting yet. I'm not even PACKED, ffs.

Then this week I have a final project to do for my online course: a slideshow in PowerPoint that focuses on Word, Excel, and Access. All I have finished is a rough outline and this thing is due by Sunday. I could have this done by now if it weren't for my own problems with procrastination. Though now that I know how I want to make this presentation, I have a therapy appointment to go to (which, GOD, I so need, I'm stressed as FUCK) and I need to buy shit for the apartment (lol credit card bills up the ass) and... ugh.

Not to mention that my dog is having seizures again and is on more medication than my mother and myself combined. That worries me and my mom so much that we can't stay out long enough to get any good shopping trips in without wondering if the dog's at home, thrashing and snapping and drooling like she's rabid, nevermind the ataxia afterwards that makes her faceplant into the floor or the water bowl. Plus our cat is pregnant again and due any day. The last thing we need is another episode like last time with her, so we're on pins and needles about that...

My classes are also fucked up. I need to go to the registrar and pretty much redo my entire schedule thanks to the super helpful teacher I had when actually enrolling in my courses. My psych course is nowhere to be seen on the schedule, they have me down for the computer class I'm already taking online, I have four classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and just one on Mondays and Wednesdays -- how the fuck THAT happened, I don't even know.

Plus there's shit -- to be more precise, DRAMA -- going on with my family members and their current and ex partners...

I feel dead. But it's not even a peaceful kind of dead because there's all this stress, WTF.

Although, the plus side is that I bought us one of those easy set-up pools so I can swim in like 26 inches of water! Yay! ~/o/~ (that's a swimming guy)

My back's all sunburned and it still hurts after nearly three days. I can't believe I got burnt so bad from laying in the sun for ten minutes, tops. D: WHY AM I SO WHITE. Beach was fun though. The water had a gross amount of litter in it (we found a paper cup, a Skittles wrapper, and some kind of ampule in the matter of three minutes) but I love to swim so much. The ocean was just a tease... I need a pool, badly.

Now on week 7 of my online course, I must declare that I am officially sick of Excel and spreadsheets and formulas and just want this fucking class to be over with. Three weeks left, three weeks left...

Mom and I took our Husky to the vet yesterday. Turns out she has Lyme disease. We didn't expect that whatsoever, though the diagnosis does explain a lot of how she's been acting the past couple months.

Finally... I'm so scared to move oh god i don't want to go to school anymore i want to stay home with my mommy forever oh god oh god i'm getting in way over my head as;ldiha;lsijghks

How does I maek linx (no really does that link to my profile? I know jack about Facebook, as you can see)

I HAVE TO DO THREE FLYERS FOR HOMEWORK. D: Thankfully my mom's more creative than I am when it comes to ideas on what to make a flyer for.

Joey and I found a place. $700 without utilities but it's got a second floor room and attic along with two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and bathroom (with a nice tub). The landlord allows cats, too. Haven't met him yet but apparently he's a young guy... I hope he's a good one.

I babysat Shane today, and when Rich came back he put on E3 '09 right when Hideo Kojima came on.

1. He looks nothing like I imagined him to.

2. OMFG MUST GET PSP FOR NEW METAL GEAR SOLID GAME. Peace Walker. A "true sequel to MGS3". It looks fucking awesome, and my goodness, MOAR BIG BOSS~~'s ass~~. Multiple Snakes = ??? Can't be Solid/Liquid/Solidus, it's in the 70s and they all look like BB... WHAT IS GOING ON The end of the trailer, LOL.

Also, I really, really need a PS3. Must play MGS4. ~~Maybe I'll steal Rich's.~~

I have pirated JP KH: 358/2 Days and I'm so tempted to play it but I have to play through Gyakuten Kenji first and a;sldjghlsjgakjdfg

Last two kittens were both stillborn.

Fuck this shit, I'm going to bed.

Phoebe (our pregnant cat) is in labor. My mom and I went to the store this afternoon for 45 fucking minutes and when we came home the cat had a kitten dangling by its neck from her vagoo for I don't know how long. Unfortunately she was stressed out to the umpteenth degree and had snapped the kitten's neck due to all of her movement before she managed to push it out. Its body was cold by the time she did.

I cried, of course. It was a cute little thing.

Now, almost 5 hours later, she hasn't had another one. I can hear a heartbeat (heartbeats?) so there are still kittens in there; it's getting them out that's the problem. The vet said that labors sometimes takes over a day for cats. WTF when our other cats had babies it took them both less than two hours.

PHOEBE. KITTENS. NAO.

Cousin and his wife had their second baby! A son this time, Anthony Jr. Normally newborns are (in my opinion) pretty hideous looking but little Ant's rather cute. <3

Joey's still interested in renting a place together so it's up to me to make some calls. D: I don't like that. But I need a place to live and pretty much everyone's in agreement that it'd be a good idea for us two to split a place. He's already got furniture and some small appliances and everything, too. I don't like the fact that I'll be the one doing most (if not all) of the cooking because my brother happens to be a picky bastard/sometimes vegetarian and I'll have to consult him before making anything at all... eh, I'll deal.

On fannish things, my mom's uncle died and at the funeral my grandmother was more upset about her "sweetie" not winning American Idol than her brother-in-law's death. It seems callous but good lord I had no idea Grandma loves Adam that much.

~~I wonder if she knows about those pictures of him?~~

Joey brought up the idea of renting an apartment together. I think it'd be a good idea, since splitting the rent/utilities/everything won't completely break my bank, but the idea of rooming with my brother is kind of weird. Then again he's barely ever at his own apartment anyway so most of the time it'd be like me on my own. With my cats. :|

DAMMIT NOW THIS MEANS I HAVE TO CHANGE MY SEARCH TO TWO BEDROOM APARTMENTS. ...not that that's difficult. He'd better be serious about this, though, because college starts August 31 and I'd really like to get to know the area a little bit before actually attending.

JOEY: "What're you gonna do if I bring a girl home?"
ME: "Nothing. As long as you're not loud about it, I don't care."
MOM: "...you're lucky your sister's generous, you man-whore."
