It's a good day. Well, not really, but I'm still smiling. I've got this great song going on repeat, and it makes me happy and dancy. Gotta love that.

Turned in my Social Justice paper on time, meeting all the requirements. I had to skip history this morning to finish it, but oh well. Then, in Social Justice class, we talked about sexual orientation, so I got my turn in the spotlight. I'm the only gay person in our Friday group, and someone brought up "Conversion" centers. So, I got to get out my soap box and educate some people. What's really cool is that I actually feel like I got through and maybe changed some ideas and opinions today. I was looking forward to this quarter so much because my of Queer Theory class and my LGBTQ Intro class, thinking that these are the things we would be discussing. So, I was dissapointed when I was unable to talk about these things, which are important to me. But I feel like today I was able to actually do some good. Which makes it worth it for me.

Now I have two and a half hours to finish my Intro paper and get to the Alderman's office to get parking permits. Then I need to do a quick load of laundry for work clothes, maybe take a nap or grab a bite to eat, and get to work. Working 7:30 - 3 tonight, hopefully I'll make some decent dough. Rent is due next week, and I'm positive I'm going to be short. Unless it's a REALLY good night tonight. Notice my lack of caring at this point. Anyway, then tomorrow I work from 3pm-3am with the catering company. I haven't catered in over a month - I hope I remember how. Then Sunday is all mine. Which means the usual - laundry, cleaning, and homework. *sigh* And then it'll be Monday. Weekends just aren't long enough. 48 hours isn't nearly enough time to finish all the stuff I need to before the next week rolls around. But I'm not going to think about that, because then I'll be sad. And right now, I'm forever young.

( Chapter 18 )

Whew, today's busy.

1) Finished my history paper (it's 2/3rds of a page short, oh well) and handed it in.
2) Got to my Sexuality exam just in time, and I think I passed it with a flying C
c) Managed to finish up my two extra credit response papers, which brings my midterm grade in Social Justice from a 52 to a 72. yay for c's!
4) Nando just called me: apparently John, the guy who I'm replacing, officially quit last night. I think. Anyway, they're training me on the bar starting tonight. Which means, pretty much, a 50% increase in tips. Thank god, just when I thought I was going to have to start selling myself again for real.
5) Either I'm really really good looking today, or I have something stuck on my shirt: everyone seems to be looking at me. Paranoid, much?
6) Ew. I just ate fried chicken fat, and now I feel disgusting. They were supposed to be chicken strips. Nope. Fat. Gross.
7) My ears popped this morning for the first time since Thursday. Hallelujia, they sang.
8) I still have to write my Queer Theory paper: let's hope I can get it done in 2.45 hours, because that's what I have between my next class and the lecture tonight.
9) mental note: move car from handicapped space before 6pm.

For the moment, my wireless access appears to be working. For the moment.

Just wanted to drop a line and say that I'm feeling much better. I slept on and off from 4:00 yesterday afternoon until about 10am this morning, waking up every hour or so to wander around the apartment, drink some juice, eat some cookie dough or cheesecake, and go back to sleep. My fever broke this morning, and I've been around normal temp all afternoon. Still coughing up stuff, and my nose is all sorts of stuffed up, and my head has felt better days.

But, all in all, I'm about 60% better.

I'm sick again.

Perfect.

EDIT: I bought a thermometer finally. Does anyone know at what temp you should start worrying?

Just call me weepy.

Watched the S1 finale of Queer As Folk again. That last scene always makes me lose my shit. I am such a baby.

I'm not feeling well at all. I'm afraid I might be coming down with yet another cold. Headache, fever, stuffy nose, sore throat, caughing, sneezing, the works. Great. More sickness. Just what I need.

I have about 500 pages to read before tomorrow morning, so that I can do this book report and be done with this week. Here's hoping I can do it. Otherwise, I'll be a-skimming it. This weekend is already gone, too. Tomorrow night I work, Friday night I have to play catch up with reading, and get started on my Queer Theory paper. Saturday I work at the catering company from 3 - 3, and Sunday I have to finish the paper. And then it's Monday again.

That depresses me. I thought weekends were invented so people could rest and not go postal?

*kicks it*

I finished my paper, though, which is good because I need the grade. Bad, because the paper is bloody awful.

Got my midterms back. Hah...damn, I'll be lucky to graduate if I keep this up.

There's a certain someone who's being a royal pain in my ass, lately, and if they don't knock it off, I'm going to knock them off.

I don't wanna go to work.

Stupid money.

Mondays suck.

#1. Don't rich people have anything better to do than fly around the world? Is it really that big of a deal anymore that someone broke the distance record? Doesn't seem like it to me.

#2. Last night at work, a couple became engaged. Aside from my own issues with ships right now, I would probably have busted my bf over the head if he proposed to me in a bar that we'd never even been to. I did get a giddy tingling sensation, though, when the asker spilt a glass of red wine all over the askee and they started fighting not 10 minutes after he'd said yes. Because I'm that ev0l.

#3. In WTF related news, I think I kinda like our new guy @ work. And I kinda think he likes me. This isn't good, because Aaron has a strict policy of no-staff-dating. Sucks.

#4. Matt just called. We're meeting for drinks later so he can tell me all about his weekend. This should be fun for me.

#5. The snow was pretty today. Especially since it didn't accumulate to anything. I actually do like snow, but at this point, I want things to be green again.

#6. At the gym today, some guy was jogging on the tredmill and the hem of his pants got snared or something - they were ripped clean off him. And he wasn't wearing underwear. On the one hand, you have to feel sorry for him. On the other hand, it was hard not to laugh. And on a third hand...yum.

#7. Tomorrow I have to read Judith Buttler. I'm afraid. Very very afraid. That bitch is crazy.

#8. I hate doing dishes. I think I'll invest in bulk supplies of disposable products. And trash bags.

Woke up this morning and pittered around my apartment for a good 20 minutes before I opened my curtains to find a BLIZZARD going on outside. Which, oddly, kind of cheers me up. I just hope it stops before I have to do my errands this afternoon.

Got a big day full of cleaning, schoolwork, errands, and whatnot. And I don't want to do any of it. I feel like just sitting in this chair and looking out the window.

I'm hungry.

I had class at 9 and 10 this morning. It's almost noon, and I just woke up.

I'm supposed to have class at 1:00 too. But hey, I've already missed 2/3, why not go for a full set?
