March 30, 2000: Back to schoo, back to schoo...

Last Saturday: I had to help my sister move. But I didn't go to sleep until about 4am...and she came and got me at 10am. Needless to say I was not very coherent then. But she did make us breakfast and apparently we were waiting for the rents to arrive to continue the moving.

They were supposed to come an hour later (11am) but I ended up falling asleep on her floor, still waiting, and I only woke up because her manager was showing someone her apartment! I suppose he was a bit uncomfortable cuz I was sprawled out on the floor and the place was a mess since she was moving out...but whatever. Turns out her manager didn't tell her he would be showing the place right then. Haw!

Just as we were talking about loading up the car ourselves, the rents came. They were just dilly-dallying..that's why they were late. I was annoyed! I could have had an extra two hours of sleep! So I rushed everyone out of the place.

We just went to my place to drop off the coffeetable and the futon pad. Then I went back with my sister while the rents went to yet another party up here..well, it was in Kent. So. I helped Betty with her clothes and we went to her new place. It's pretty nice. She has a huge room..with one window the height of the walls..that's pretty cool. The living was bright, white, and breezy. The carpet wasn't AS nice as the other place though. *shrug*

She took me home around 2pm, just as Larry was waking up. *jealous* We were supposed to DO something today or else he'd go to his poker game. And of course we couldn't think of anything. Canada required more planning than 30mins...but he stayed with me! Hee hee! So I finally got to take a shower and we went on the Ave for a bit.

I didn't really want to since I knew he was just gonna sit down in the bookstore and READ for like, 45mins with me just standing there, since I didn't know what to do. That happened..but this time I decided to go upstairs where all the good stuff was and he actually looked for me! this time. :)

Home, and I started cleaning up the extra room. I set up the futon and put B's pad there..and basically..just tried to fit everything into the closet. How did we get all this stuff? Moreover, how did LAR get all this stuff? Cuz it was mostly his! Some of it didn't fit in the closet so we have a pile of boxes outside. Nice. Well, we had to leave some room in the closet for when guests come with their clothes and stuff.

Might I add that Roger is sitting on our coffeetable next to the daffodils, shamrocks, and my glass pig? I think he's really happy.

Lar and I were starving so we ordered pizza and just inhaled it. It was really funny, aside from the stomach aches. So then we went to bed to lay and talk and of course we fell asleep. I woke up at 11.30pm and debate just sleeping away my last night of freedom. I was giving into sleep when I coughed, which woke him up.

So we decided to stay up.

Sunday: Our last day of break! We had to wake up early because the bed lady was coming at like 11.30am. Oh, and I will mention that they imploded the King Dome this morning at 9 or something. I still haven't seen footage of it but you can prolly find it at King 5. Btw, Weese is interning there!

So I woke up early and vacuumed the empty spot in our room where the futon pad was. (We put it under B's in the spare room.) That of course got me wheezing and that made me unhappy. :| The bed lady arrived a little late but what can you expect? There was prolly a lot of traffic after the implosion. The bed was HUGE! I can't believe I was able to help bring it up here in my condition. Huge huge bed.

Now our room is just: bed. She also gave us this sheets set and the matching blanket. It's ugly though. It's this nasty santa fe design..but at least the dust ruffle is just a plain purple, we can work with that.

We spent the day with all our windows open, airing and disinfecting the mattresses. I fell asleep since I was so tired from lack of sleep from about 2-5.30pm. In that time, Lar was just a big phone whore. I woke up and he was on the phone and he remained for 45mins, as I did laundry, etc. :P He also stayed "5 minutes more" in phone time..which turned out to be 15mins. So I was annoyed. :P

We watched the awards show. Nothing too spectacular, though I was overjoyed that they showed Keanu Reeves a few times when "The Matrix" was up for awards. *G* He was also a presenter so I was damn happy.

I'm glad that it shut out "Star Wars." YEAH!

One thing I was annoyed with was the actor who played Ricky Fitts in "American Beauty." His real name escapes me now but what the hell? He was all scruffy and messy-looking. What a waste! His real name is... Wes Bentley. Yep.

Monday: The first day of school. I started at 10.30-12.20, first Classics and then Psychology. The funny thing is..I'm in the exact same rooms as I was last quarter, only in reverse order. So I was in Parrington first. I didn't get my seat though. I sit in the only right-handed desk that is next to a left-handed desk...so it's roomier that way. There was this huge guy sitting there. I guess he "needed" it more than I did, but I wanted my seat!

Anyhow, class was interesting right at the beginning; I guess I really like this stuff. He let us out early so I was happy for that reason too. Next up was psych in Savery (which is where I do my scanning). Class was boring and still stuffy! Gross.

Then I met up with Annie and Nelson. We waited for Wilson who never came because he was SLEEPING. Had lunch at Orange King...Nelson met some band guy there and he ate with us. It was nice and we were entertained. Afterwards, I went home with Annie to watch TV and to catch up on weekend stuffs.

We have an evening class MW from 5-6.50pm. Yuk! Got there and it seemed like everyone knew each other. It was weird. The teacher went on and on about the syllabus...hello! We can read it for ourselves! Then he talked a little more content and then he also let us out early.

I finally got home around 7pm. Lar came home and we went to talk about our days..and I fell asleep at 9pm. I woke up at 1.30am, just as Lar was getting to bed. We talked a little more and then I woke up for school. I'm a sick individual; I slept nearly 12 hrs. I didn't think I was that tired, but I guess I was.

Also, I felt bad about missing Jim's phone calls, since he was calling me since Sunday. And for one reason or another (eating/sleeping) I didn't get to talk to him until much much later!

Anyways, Tuesday was Classics section and psych lecture. My TA for Classics is sooo arrogant! Goodness. I saw him in lecture the day before and thought: "I want him for section." I got him so there was a moment of joy, but then his mouth opened and it was like: "UGH." Psych was still very boring, but we did watch Mel Gibson's "Hamlet" for some reason.

Then I went home to read. Lots and lots of "Iliad." I like it though, I just don't like how much I have to read because I get concerned with just finishing that I don't remember anything. :P

Wednesday: Today I had Classics lecture and Psych section. I was late to section since it was at 9.30 and on the south end of campus. :P I couldn't find the room and so was this other girl, but we finally found it. However, he already started talking. I was concerned about getting to classics on time but I paid attention to the time it took to get there (it's all uphill baby) and I can make it in the 10mins. :)

I went over to Wilson's to hang out. I hadn't seen him since we went to the Spaghetti Factory the Thursday before finals week. What a long time! So we caught up. He told me about interning and RA'ing and had some interesting things to share. Jim came in and gave me a Foo Fighters pin. That was a nice surprise! :) I was staring at it for a few seconds to 'get' what it was...cuz it looked like those..airline wings you get for flying. But then I saw the "FF" in the middle and it hit me. Thanks!

We went to get our CMU project from last quarter but came an hour later than we should have. *d'oh* Then we met up with Annie and Jim for lunch. Ate on-campus because Wilson was eager to spend his newly-recharged husky card money. And he bought us lunch..I thought that was really nice. It was good too!

I went home for some reading before my evening class, but of course I had to watch my soaps..and by the time I got down to actual reading, I probably just read for 45mins. :P And the reading is sooo boring!

I already "had" to skip the second half of class tonight because I got us tickets to see "High Fidelity." I would have skipped anyways, even IF Annie wasn't in this class too. So. Class was horribly boring. I was dozing...and thankful that I got to leave at the break.

I was a little worried that Larry wouldn't come thru for me since he wasn't back by the time I left at 4.30. Turns out he had geek bowl practice. I left him tons of post-its and told him to wait in line at 5.30 (the movie was at 7pm)..and I'd join him at 6pm.

And he was there! In line! At the front! I was so happy. :) We got some free stuff: mini etch-a-sketch and this chapstick on a shoestring...I need to chop off the top half of it...

The movie itself was EH. I dunno. I thought it would be better. I don't see why it was a movie-movie and not like some tv-movie. It was too long and wasn't funny enough..and to tell the truth I didn't really care about John Cusack's character. *ouch* Yeah so I'm just glad we didn't pay to see this.

Afterwards we were both starving and got Cheap Pad Thai and inhaled it. Then we went home and read next to each other in our great, big big bed. It was nice. Later we shifted into the usual me-on-the-puter and him-on-the-playstation. We both went to bed around 1am.

Thursday. Larry didn't start until 1.30..and I was done at 12.30. Isn't that funny? Well, today was the dreaded classics section with my Arrogant TA. And it was still the same shitzu. Annoyance! Then I had psych and it was boring...He spent about 30mins explaining WHY he showed us "Hamlet" on Tuesday. Ug!

I got home and Lar was still in his pj's..though he did shower. So we talked a little and today is his long day. I'll see him this afternoon and then again at night, 10pm. We're having our bread bowls today! YAY!

As you may have noticed, I found a nifty code to let me full justify my alignment. I'm very happy about that. :)

Last old entry was March 24, 2000.

April 1, 2000

Well, it's the first of a new month, and I thought it'd be a good thing to write something. So here I eez.

Friday rounded out a boring week. Lar and I left the apt together but I was a little annoyed since I get agitated if I'm not standing outside the door at :20. That's because I have to get MY seat. And well, since we left later than I would have liked, someone else got my seat. *grrr*

Class was interesting. To amuse myself I drew a few sketches of the slides we looked at. It made me feel like I was actually paying attention. *G* I like this guy though...Apparently this class is taught by a few people..but so far I like this guy the most. Also, he let us out early since it was a beautiful day!

I went to the puter lab briefly, I was thinking about scanning this picture Jim gave me, but there wasn't enough time. So I did a quick check, sent some email to Jennifer and then I had class.

It was very uneventful. A lot of review from last quarter, but everyone around me was scribbling down everything. *shrug* I spent class just looking around the room. I think I was staring too much/often at the TAs, don't ask me why. One of the student helpers looks like he'd be a dance instructor. You know, they are very slender men and they seem very...graceful.

I also looked at the people around me and noticed that I was sitting right in the middle of a big chunk of Greek people. Ug! Don't ask me to change seats..cuz this is also MY seat here! *LOL*

Anyways, after class I went to the psych office to turn in my application--they were due by 4pm. I found some guy working there, and of course he flipped thru everything to see if I had done everything. That's great, right? So then he goes: "Lots of credits." Nice.

Well, what did you expect? I'm a junior, and by the time you guys officially take me in I'll be halfway thru with completing this freaking major! Geezus! Some people just need to be kicked in the head.

So that leads me to telling you about finishing that application. I stopped caring the other night around midnight. I dunno. Can you blame me? I'm terribly gunshy when it comes to applications now. I only do things because I have to. That's not a way to go thru life, you do things because you want to. But it's hard to do what you want at university since they give you options but once you pick something you have to do that. I don't like that.

I made the trek back home and since I opened all the windows before I left that morning, I came back to a nice and airy home! :) I watched my soaps which were pretty good, went online and then to bed. I swear, this bed just wants me to be in it constantly. And Larry has found me in it just about every day...since he comes home after I do.

We talked about how our days went and then Annie called. So we talked briefly. Tonight they were watching "Sixth Sense" and having pizza. I passed because that movie is too damn scary. :P But I'll prolly see her today because I need her notes from Wednesday.

BTW, it seems like I'm the only one who didn't really like "High Fidelity." All the reviews I've seen were on the positive side. Not saying it was A Horrible Movie, but I didn't think it was really anything. I dunno. I suppose John Cusack is just that cool. Here's MrShowbiz' review.

Had dinner and walked around. It was boring but good to be out, otherwise we'd still be in bed. I called up Jim for a brief talka. He's going to see Oasis next Wednesday (weird night for a show). So I'm sure he'll tell me all about it when he gets back!

Speaking of Oasis and "back," I believe Michelle is back from spring break. She picked up her bday card from me last week but I haven't heard anything from her. I suppose she's just busy with the new quarter. I hope things are okay though...not that they wouldn't be.

Anyways, so we went back to bed and of course I outslept him. :) Now I'm up and it's nearing 2am and I'm feeling fine! I was just reading thru some archives of the journals I have bookmarked and I'm finally done with them! I actually read some of mine too..and I can't believe I wrote some of the things I did. I was such a sap! But I can see myself coming back to this entry a few years from now and going: "Ohmygosh..I was retarded!" It happens. Also I think that if you're in an online relationship, you find other ways of showing how much you care for the other person..and the result is a lot of ooey-gooey, mushy-mushy romance stuff! But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm just glad that I don't have to. :DDDDDD

Also I've been thinking about actually PAYING for a website. I'm just so freaking tired of banners and shit. On my page and on other peoples' pages..it's not their fault by all means, they are poor as me and just want a place to call their own. However, I'm annoyed with mine now! I could move it to the university's account but then, I'm thinking in a few years I'll be done with school..so I'll have to move my stuff once again. Who wants to deal with that? I just want to move and move once and never again.

I've read around and I can go somewhere for $5/month. Not too bad. But now my concern is whether I'm "cool" enough to be in the company of these other people. I'm not linking to where I'm talking about since they can find my page thru people going to theirs from my link. (whew) So as you can see from that last sentence, I already think I'm not "cool" enough to be one of their members. I'm a sucker.

Then I'm thinking of getting my own domain name, but then of course I can't decide on what name to get. Having my real name would be cheezy. Having one of my other handles would be pointless since I don't really go by them and they are also cheezy. I suppose my best bet is in that other paragraph, but then again am I cool? I don't think so.

Nothing's up for the weekend. Just constant reading. I should also fill in my worksheets since my Arrogant TA will probably collect them one of these days. :P I think a trip to IKEA may be around the corner though, but I can't think of anything I want to get.

We were watching Maury or something the other day. And you know how they have those sponsors at the end? This one was for US search. I thought it was interesting, so I asked him who he would look for if he could/would. He told me..yadda yadda. My answer was: Lache. I'm sure I've mentioned him before. *L*

I remember I was in kindergarten and he came in late, since school began a few days ago. And we were just friends ever since. Off and on, depending on if we had the same teacher. Sometime during the 3rd grade one of his friends asked me out..for him. And of course I screamed, laughed, and yelled: "No way!" I was still in girls-play-with-girls, boys-play-with-boys ideal. So anyways, he moved away the summer before the sixth grade (or was it fifth?). It was kind of weird since my sister claims that they drove right our house the day of the move (cuz they had a moving thing) and we were out there doing something. But I missed it. A few years later I had a weird dream with him and I wrote about it in one of my journals.

But yeah, he'd be the person I'd look for. Just to see how he's doing. I think he said he was moving to California.

Anyways.
