It's been a while...

So it's been a while... and although Facebook seems to take up most or all of my spare time after homework, work, essays, cooking, cleaning, laundry, (living on my own in general), and answering emails... I thought I'd take a moment to say hello to everyone and to let them know that they are in my thoughts.

Things are quite busy on my end. I haven't really had a chance to collect my thoughts and I'm sort of regretting taking two part time jobs this semester. Next semester, I've decided to make my life a little easier and only take 3 courses... two in the evenings and one on the weekend. It'll be amazing, I hope. I can also start to look for full-time permament work to avoid the crazy-ass rush come April when most University students will be searching for work. I hope I can find something that pays reasonably well, is downtown, and is devoid of too much bullshit.  Oh, and it's somewhat challenging. Obviously, my hopes and desires actually aren't THAT low, but I'm hoping to have a break from school and be able to travel for the next little while. I will be going for my master's degree later on, but as I said... that's later on.

Other than that... school is all that takes up my life. I'm seeing Beowulf tomorrow and as much as you may laugh at that, I'm seeing it anyway. Anthony Hopkins has that effect on me. But that's that.

And I'm done. Stop. Finished. Toodles.

Update. Update. Up-up-up-update...

Holy crap. It's been a while since I've written. I guess all I can say is that it's been really really busy for me and that I've been up to my eyeballs in work... both school and work related work... um... that sounds pretty redundant.  

Anyway, things are fine on my end. I'm really busy (I already said that), but I'm having trouble managing everything that's on my plate; two part-time jobs, a full course load... sigh... what was I thinking?  I guess I just wanted the financial independence of not having to rely on OSAP or other factors.    It turns out a lot has changed in the last little while and I just don't know what to do anymore.  Besides the career change I'm contemplating, I just haven't been very happy about things recently and I suppose it's pointless to lie to myself so I may as well accept it... the fact that I can't lie to myself, that is, not the fact that I'm not as happy as I'd like. Here's hoping I can figure things out.  I'm an intelligent, independent woman and I can do this. I know it.    

It's been a while since I've seen my friends and I'm saddened by that. I didn't realize that this year would suddenly become so busy, but it has. And it's only the beginning. No, I'm not wishing it were already summer (Sarah and I usually fall into that trap and want what we can't have for the interim i.e. "I can't wait until school starts" one month into the summer and then "I can't wait until school is over" two weeks into the fall.)    Hehe... I think it's funny how we sometimes do that.  

I'm hoping I can get my shit together and start focusing on my needs and what's good for me. 

Well, that's it from my end. I know it's a short entry, but as the Bard says, "brevity is the soul of wit." So although this isn't witty... nor is it very brief -- here it is, in all it's glory. 

So, I haven't written in a while, but I just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope all is well at their end. I suppose lack of internet and Facebook seems to occupy me most of the time now.

Well... that's aboot it. Toodles!

Getting better!

I'm feeling a lot better these days... I'm on antibiotics and they are the WORST ones I have EVER taken!

It's not that they don't work... but it's just that they work TOO well.  I feel GREAT, but there is a disgusting bitter taste in my mouth (that was one of the supposed side-effects)... and I keep on wanting to eat things to get rid of the taste.  Man, I must have gained 5 lbs in the last two weeks... but I don't mind; as long as I get better that's the important thing. 

Another really funny thing about the medication is that it was WORSEN your symptoms!  WHAT?!?!  Luckily, I haven't really faced that.  Mind you, I have been a lot more sneezy and congested lately... hehe... go figure.

That's like a heart attack medication causing high blood pressure or... well... heart attacks!  LOL!

Well, that's it from my end.  I hope all is well with you guys! Toodles!

SO SICK!

I have a cold... and it sucks.    My throat hurts and every time I cough it's like someone punched me in the chest and tried ripping my lungs out...

If I breathe too deeply or laugh, I start coughing... hopefully it'll be gone soon...

*SIGH*  ...

*COUGH COUGH HACK HACK* There go my lungs...
