Hyper Little Thoughts

Just checked out the Chicago Bears website to see if they're playing here or away today (I have to work down by there this afternoon, so I wanted to make sure I would find parking vs. taking the El), and I find out that they're on a 9 game winning streak. So, they're 9 for 3.

Not that I really care about the Bears, because football - ew. But, wouldn't it be awesome if Chicago somehow got into the Superbowl and somehow won it? Because then we would have won the World Series *and* the Superbowl. Imagine how great that would be for the city.

Wow, have I become a true Chicagoan or what? la la la

And also - my mum just called, they're about an hour away. EEP! Fortunetely, however, she has decided that she would not like to drive in the city, so I'm off the hook for her stopping by here. *yay* I just have to go meet them in Oakbrook in an hour or so, and get some lunch with them. Teehee!

Wow, it's amazing what a good night of sleep can do for a body.

I went out last night and had a couple of drinks, and instead of making a night of it, because I worked yesterday, I came home about 2 and crashed out. Didn't get up till noon. And I feel about 100% better all around.

Last night at work was kinda cool. Since we had so much rental staff, I was made Buffet Captain. Which means I was in charge of the food, assignements, set-up and break-down of buffets, and in charge of all food staff.

And we got out before 11:00, which makes me happy (I'm just so tired of getting out of work so late.).

Sorry if my posts lately have been the diary of a Crazy Bi-Polar Psych Student. RL is all kinds of crazy lately. And that's putting it gently.

And TONS of it! The forecast is for up to 9 inches (*snickers) before the end of the storm tonight.

I know in a few days I'll probably be sick of it, but right now, it's just what I needed. I was feeling a little low today and very bah-humbug doing my errands and going to work. But getting off of the el tonight after work and walking home, wading through drifts of unshovled sidewalk made me smile. I started thinking about being a kid and having those rare snow days.

*happy sigh*

So now, I'm going to pop open a can of pepsi, snack on something fattening, smoke me a cigarette, and watch some Angel.

And maybe write a little.

All in all, not a bad way to spend a snowy winter's eve:)

I am.

Wheee.

I'm totally pigging out on frozen pizza and dorito's. And watching an episode of Angel while I eat it. It's almost 3 am and I have to be up at 7 to move my car. Fun stuff.

I've decided - fuck the PTB.

Erm.

The top two highlights of my day were when a)I spilled hot coffee on a guest at work tonight. The guest turned out to be the graduate psych directer at Northwestern University - the second "wish school" on my list. So, I've scratched it off my list. and b) when I found out that yes, indeed, I must have left my phone in a cab, and hence, it is forever lost. So tomorrow I have to go get a new one. Which means I have no phone numbers and no way of contacting some people to get them.

If I had your phone number, or you want to give it to me, please comment here - comments will be screened.

A) It's monday. yay. Normally that would be a bad thing, but now? Not so much.
b) had my graduation meeting this morning - and, provided that I pass all my classes from here on out, I have a green light to graduate in June. I have to have two more meetings - one with the college office to discuss degree qualification specifications, and another with a financial advisor to have my exit meeting, telling me what I owe, blah blah blah.
c) I found out in said meeting that I *don't* have to take that other history class next quarter. SKIPPEEEE!
d) talked to my mom today, and her and my sis are coming up to visit for a couple days next week (sun-tues). officially, they are going to Oakbrook to do some Xmas shopping. so they're driving up sun morning/afternoon, doing some shopping and lazying around Oakbrook for the evening. I'm going to meet them for dinner. Then Saturday I'll meet them for lunch at Nieman's and spend the day shopping with them, have dinner, and then they're on their own because I have to work that night. and then tues they're headed back. I'm really looking forward to it. Me and my mom always have such a great time together when we do this. My only wish is that, nothing against my sister because I love her, but I wish she wasn't coming. Me and my mom haven't had any "us" time in forever. And we used to be soooo close. *shrugs* Guess that's kind of part of growing up, huh?
e) i finished all my xmas cards today, and i'm dropping them in the mail on the way to bar tonight. so, be looking for those in a few days:)
f) um...i'm making dinner. mmmmm porkchops and green beans. mmmm.

ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch

I am in pain.

I hate my fucking job.

I hate my fucking life right now.

I just got off work and now I have to fucking go to bed because I have to get up for work in 5 fucking hours.

Good fucking night.

Just got the third grade in, for my independant study. An A (actually an A+, but since those don't technically exist, just 100%), which brings my GPA for the quarter, with two grades not in yet, to a 3.433, and my cumulative to a 3.103 (up from a 3.07 at the beginning of the year). Pending these next two grades, I could wind up doing very well or very bad - they're the two classes I was worried most about. *bites finger nails*

But now I'm going to bed because it's late, I have to work tomorrow, and right now I want to be asleep and not thinking about things.

Also, I have been doing the memoirs, just haven't been posting 'em. So probably Sunday afternoon after I get off work, I'll probably post all 4 or 5 at once.

I did a bad thing.

I was out starting my Xmas shopping, and I stopped into GAP. *sheepish look* They were having a sale...

la la la

I did get two gifts today, though! Only, they cost a 5th of what I spent on myself. *whistles innocently*

I have two of my grades' back!!! TWO OF MY GRADES!!! *whoot* And they're not BAD!!!

Medieval People: B+ (this was the class that gave me so much trouble with the reading and whatnot)
Graduate Statistics: B (could have done better here, but the exams gave me a little trouble, so I'll take it happily)

At the moment, that brings last quarter's GPA to a 3.5. *dances merrily* Course, now I just have to wait for my other three grades to come in. And they're the ones that I'm most askeered of. *wibble*
