03:56 am 3:56..... ive become nocturnal. i havent gone to bed before 7 oclock in the morning in a week. my first exam was yesterday, or i guess.... 2 days ago now. went ok. 3 more to go. studying for arch and polisci are frustrating since its hard to know the specifics on what youre supposed to know.. ive been watching too much 'house'. im addicted. what can i say.
mum and dad and lindsay come in the next few weeks. that im excited for, i have to say. im just so tired all the time.
its like my body won't let me go to sleep until the sun's up. i've been trying, but it's so out of whack.
so i was studying till almost 4 tonight. and i started at 6. go me. wait, i took 1 hour off to watch top model.
i feel so fucked up. Current Location: room Current Mood: numb Current Music: greenday- brain stew

10:30 am another day another dollar....spent? got some essentials at winners. wooo. they gave me the plastic winners bag instead of the sleek black 'winners on bloor bag'.... kind of a disappointment. but this time i didnt leave my credit card there! and i checked 3 times. so my printers out of ink. i go to grand and toy to get a new one- they want 75 bucks. so i come home, go on to the hp website, find it for 35, but they dont ship to canada. hpshopping.ca doesnt even SELL ink cartridges....so i got it sent home, and then someone at home will have to send it to me? how messed up. buuuuut hp right now is oh so wonderful and is doing free shipping on everything no matter how fast u want it delivered...so i checked on the order this morning, and its already in portland...and i ordered last night at around 1030.... how beautiful is that. so hopefully, when canada post gets ahold of it ill have it within 2 weeks or so haha. ok....time to get ready to go to class.

06:22 pm oh yeah, i changed my major. im specializing in east asian studies. fuck...i guess that means i really do have to study chinese? our new t.a is on speed. she's all talking away in chinese and im like 'huh?' and then tommy somehow answers her in chinese and shes like 'ah very good tommy' and renee and i are just sitting there 'ummm'... but today! she asked me a question, and i was just like 'ta da le dianhua' and she was like 'ah meige, hen hao' and i was like 'yeah, damn straight.' that was the highlight of my day.
ok, back to work.

05:53 pm hey, thanks lindsay for reminding me...i guess it has been a while, hasnt it? well, being back at school isnt as amazing as i thought it would be. id rather be back in costa rica, but hey...what can you do? annie yasmin and ana are all up to going in may which is making me pretty excited. ive decided to defer from taking the hong kong trip until next summer. i wanna know more chinese before i go, and then i can go and spend more time there after the trip, too. i dunno, i think its also that i wanna take some classes at psu this summer and i dont want to be away for most of the summer. the work is still really coming in, and i had a test last wednesday and a paper due tomorrow...but such is life and whatever, you just get through it. its really nice to be around my friends again though, i missed them while i was gone. brett and i are going to see the body worlds thing at the osc this friday...and lets all hope that i dont pass out...im actually super excited... yoga started yesterday, and dancing on thursday....pilates and more dance start next week. im trying to keep busy, its stops me from eating so much junk food.
damn, the break went so fast... and now that im back, its only been a week and it feels like a month.
fireball's in 3 weeks though, so the girls and dylan are all going shopping this weekend to buy mostly shoes and jewelery...!! and reading week's in just over a months...we're thinking montreal? i gotta go get my id back from the phoenix...stupid bouncers recognized my fake....rahhh oh well. damn, i have a paper to write. and i have to learn all that chinese that im getting stuck on. fuck love u lindsay, ill call u tomorrow or at least soon.
