elvendolli think today makes a good Monday.
despite yesterday's down points, in retrospect, it still feels like more weekend-time then weekday-time, which i'll take as a good thing.
some things i skipped over in the quick-review entry from last night:
lunch at downtown crossing sucked.
i totally forgot roma works around there until it was lunchtime, and he didn't answer his cell when i called, so i couldn't make plans with him. i also really (really) dislike eating alone. when i'm somewhere comfortable, i can do it, but if not, it just makes me all kinds of on edge and self-conscious. to make things even worse, my stomach has been acting up, and the thought of most things i was seeing made me queasy.
after wandering around for a little bit, i decided to go into the food court place, and, wandering around there, thought mashed potatoes would be a safe bet.
ugh. they were utterly disgusting. i actually gagged when trying to get the fourth forkful down. instead, i bought a nutrigrain bar and drank extra hot chocolate at the training class to keep hunger pains away.
when i got home, i was a good girl and made buckwheat. it didn't come out as good as i would like, but still very edible (to me) and the fact that it doesn't aggravate my stomach makes it so much better. i do need to slap myself silly the next time i decide that eating a burnt sandwich is better then throwing it out and waiting for another one.
it wasn't very breezy last night, and i really enjoyed climbing into bed when i did - the room was at a mostly-decent temperature, and i love having the weight of three blankets on me. sleeping like that, i end up sleeping in a little ball all night, not wanting to break out of the nest illusion.
despite being bad off financially, i have bought some stuff over the past couple of weeks. first, i went a little batty and spent a little over $35 on 51 pairs of stud earrings. i lose earrings all the time, and i just figured that this way, the cheap earrings i ended up with are a ton better then the cheap earrings i usually buy at the mall, and still cheaper per-pair. go ebay.
that ended up sending me into a mild jewelry-lust, which i'm trying hard to suppress. the part that makes it a little easier is that all the rings that i actually like aren't in a small enough size. but, it will take effort not to bid on this this afternoon. i think if the matching ring was in my size, i'd buy them without second thoughts, but as it is, i'm better off putting it off and waiting for this phase to pass. considering i haven't bought myself any jewelry in well over a year (if not two), hopefully it won't last too long.
there was also a stop in headlines on the way home from vermont, and i ended up walking out with two posters. they were $7 each, and though i don't have specific spots for them right now, i know i'd regret not having gotten them if i hadn't.
in theory, its time for me to be doing serious research/search into getting lasik surgery. i tried taking a cursory look last week, and got very overwhelmed by how much not-so-reliable information is out there. i'm thinking that between that, my financial situation and hoping to take summer classes during both sessions, its probably sanest to put that off until the fall. the new goal, if i'm a candidate, is to have a new eye by mid october. and if i'm not, i'll have to buckle down and be good about wearing either contacts or glasses.
inevitably, my mind keeps looping back to school. its got the "so close, yet so far away" thing to it right now - after being a junior for way too many years, i can almost taste how close i am to being a senior. i'm even having twisted thoughts of maybe taking more then one class each of the summer sessions, but there's no way i'm going to risk that for the first session - if i think i can after it, though, i might.
the summer class session is taunting. there's quite the number of classes i'd be excited to take - and it makes me think about how different that may be in a year. and i guess i'm really fixating on that because i really don't want to transfer, but feel the need to prepare myself for the worst.
also, i feel really bad about this, but i'm not really looking forward to seeing my family this weekend. after two weekends away and two weeks of feeling off, i feel less then ready to spend time somewhere as high-strung as my parents' house is. hopefully i'll feel different about it soon.
i also remembered that there's a chance i could make it into central before 6 today, which means that i might be able to get hairdye. (thinking about it, i should have done that yesterday, but hindsight isn't as clouded by tiredness and cold - i totally didn't even think of it). *crosses fingers*
oh, and, i should also get to see buffy, at its designated time. for the first time since december. yay : )
