Your what hurts?

ahem.

#1) I have officially begun Final Exam Preperation Mode. Essentially this means there are four ashtrays scattered around my apartment overfilling with butts. And also that I have decided to buy stock in Caribou Coffee, and Red Bull.

#2) I am currently addicted to the Dixie Chicks. how did I never hear them and love them before? I don't know.

#3) I have also completed Phase I of Operation Pre-Parent Clense. I just spent three hours cleaning my kitchen. Now, for anyone who has seen my kitchen, you know that three hours is much too much time for such a tiny space. But trust me, it was needed. *gag* I am a bachelor. Tomorrow, I move to Phase II: The Bathroom. And I spend more time in there than in the kitchen. I'm askeered. Later this week, I'll be tackling Phases III, IV, V, and VI: Closets, Carpet, Living Room, and Windows/Mirrors.

#4) I have met someone new. Well, actually two someones new. One is Charlie, who is the sweetest guy ever. Just moved here from Boston; Architect; completed 3 degrees at Vanderbuilt. The other is Jeff. Lived in Chicago forever; owns his own chemical company and services the City of Chicago. Upcoming (as in, when I get back from my vacation) dates with both. More on them as situations develop. You can all say "whoot" if you want. I know I did.

#5) I now have only 8 days left until my graduation ceremony. And as such, I have written the following composition:

( What I been lerned in kollege )

Too late to make it right...probably wouldn't if I could.

I just realized that almost all of my entry subjects are song lyrics. Hmph.

Got my apartment about 90% finished today. And all my laundry's done. And I actually cooked dinner tonight. Yum. Minute steak, farm beans, and sauteed mushrooms. Mmm.

And now I'm sitting down with Dixie Chicks playin on the stereo, a steaming pot of French Vanilla Dark Roast on the clean kitchen counter, and getting ready to pour over my Social & Emotional Development book. My goal for tonight is to finish studying for that completely, and get a leg up on my second short story. Tomorrow night's projects will be studying for Stress Management (really will only take an hour at most - it's open book/note), edit & finish my short story, compile my portfolio to turn in on Monday or Tuesday. I'll be in research mode Monday and Tuesday night for my presentation/paper, which are due on Wednesday night. Monday I have my first final, and work that night; Tuesday I have my second final, and work that night; Wednesday is my presentation; Thursday I have no exams but I do have work, and Friday I have one exam and no work...and then I'm done. No work Saturday, and the ceremony is on Sunday.

Wow.

*flails*

A quote, from my development book, "So it seems that children's earliest preferences for gender-typed toys and activities may well result from their parents' (particularly fathers') successful attempts to reinforce these interestes."

Fucking DUH!?

I learned that in Psych 101. Not to mention, I posess, you know, common sense.

Someone shoot me. Now, please.
