this test actually seems pretty accurate (as far as these things go)

week 2= feels like week 9

So the semester has got off to a bit of a crazy start. My classes are finally settling into a pattern along with my work study, and they leave me a bit rushed at times (especially Wednesday) but all-in-all they're not too bad.

I left my cellphone at home, but luckily my mom sent it up (via first class mail) and it got here the very next day. Yay for the P.O. and my mom. It's amazing how lost you can feel once you get used to having something and then you all of a sudden don't have it anymore. It's like always wearing a watch, and forgetting it at home. You just feel incomplete without it.

Speaking of incomplete, I feel unclothed if I go outside wearing anything less than my heavy winter jacket, scarf, and mittens. It's absolutely cold outside! It was -14F with the windchill today. My oh my, winter has roared in with a vengeance and I am not liking it one iota.
My roommates and I have been... well, let's just say 'adjusting' is probably the proper word to use. One roommate in particular is driving the other two crazy, and no matter what there's always an excuse for the behavior from roommate A. It's just a bit annoying, but there's good times too so we'll manage.

And I finally, finally, finally got to hang out for a bit with my freshman year roommate and her best friend. I missed those two so much, and I hadn't realized how much until I got to hang out with them for a bit again. It was just like old times, we all watched TV together-- the tryouts part of American Idol season 8billion, and I made my little comments that just pop into my head and they laugh and tell me how much they love me. No wonder I missed hanging out with those girls, they're so incredibly sweet/nice/funny and we always have a great time. I must say, as much as I love my roommate now, my freshman year roommate was probably the perfect roommate to have for my freshman year. We had separate friends so we weren't in each other's face all the time, but yet we still got along well together. The good ol' days, I miss them sometimes.

But I still have a year and a half of college left, so who knows what kind of good will still happen, right?

oops

The links will be back later. I'm sick of looking at template code right now.

titles are over-rated.

New year new template new blog? Not quite yet, but I have big plans. I know, I promise big plans all of the time and they never pan out. Well forget about that, this is different. Because... well no particular reason other than I want it to be.
Guess what stupid thing I did? I got sick! I go back to school next week (Sunday, to be exact) and of course I would wait til my last week at home to get sick. Sigh. I guess it could be worse, hopefully by the time I actually go to classes/work I'll be over my cold. I hate feeling stuffy-headed through class, I'm that way normally I don't need a cold to 'help'!
This post was supposed to be longer, but somewhere in the writing I lost my words. Apparently from my head to the keyboard is too long of a journey, some words just get lost.

Happy New Year

Is it ok to say Happy New Year to someone, even after Jan 1st? My mom does it all of the time (ex.- she said it to the cashier as we were leaving store today) and it drives me absolutely insane. But, on the other hand, I don't mind if an online friend says it (or I say it to them) and it's not Jan1st. I think it must have to do with me not talking to my online friends as much so time kind of stops for them where as in the 'real' world time has already moved past New Years day.
It doesn't make sense, I know.
Anyways, Happy New Year. ;-)
