Sick Again

Once again, I feel like death. I slept through math this morning, made it to lit, then my fencing instructor basically told me I looked terrible and sent me home. I took a short nap, but alas homework calls. I love writing papers at the last minute. Especially when I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to be writing about. I'll blog instead. Not much to report though. Break has come and gone. I worked a lot, end of story. It wasn't a very interesting or fun break. Then again it wasn't much of a break at all since I worked over 40 hours. I'm so burnt out. Only a week and a half left of classes, then finals week, then home for a month. I'm definately going to take it easy for a few days when I first get back. For now I just have to suck it up and get through the next couple weeks. Since I'm procrastinating so much I though I'd post this. It's kind of fun and since I don't have much to say it's basically filler.

A Much Needed Break

Tomorrow is the last day of classes before Thanksgiving break and it could not come at a better time! I'm starting to feel really burned out with classes, homework, the shows, and life in general. It will be nice to just relax a bit (HA I say that as if it will actually happen). It's not that my professors have given more work or anything, it's just the fact that I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to get things done while still having a life. I just need to get through my math class tomorrow and then I'll feel a lot better. Typical to the type of jerk professor I have, he is giving an exam the day before a vacation "to prevent students from skipping class". While it's a good theory, it just makes him seem like a pain-in-the-ass. Lit won't be too hard, we're in the drama unit so I don't really need to pay too much attention. As for fencing, I don't mind going but it sucks that it doesn't end until 5. Oh well, I can't skip that class anymore. After break there are only 3 weeks left until finals and break. A whole month off :-). I'm happy about it now, but I'll probably be more than ready to go back to school after two weeks or so. Oh well. All I know is 5 o'clock can't come soon enough for me. Back to studying for this math test (there's really no point in studying though since no one can pass this guy's tests) and reading until I die. Ta!

Surprise

So Dad called me out of the blue yesterday to ask if I needed anything. I figured I'd just be straight forward about it so I told him I was pretty much broke. So he said he'd put some cash in my account this week (more than I excpeted, too), he also mentioned that he got my credit card bill and paid that off for me again. I was like HOLY!! Who the hell is this person??? It didn't stop there though. He's putting my car back on the road for my Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. Apparently the girl that wants it won't be able to start making payments until after the first of the year or so. I was RIDICULOUSLY happy at this point...then he said something about possibly getting me a real credit card since my American Eagle one has a terrible interest rate. So basically I'm thinking that he's terminally ill or something. I have never known him to be quite this generous. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way, shape, or form complaining...the whole things still seems a bit surreal. I'm not going to argue it, I'm just going to hope he actually goes through with it and be happy about it all.

I was having a generally good day before this too, so needless to say I've been a very happy girl for the past few days. (What a change from this time last year huh?)

Holloween

Saturday night was the Mask & Hammer halloween party. It was pretty fun. There were a lot of randoms there when we first got to the house, but eventually they cleared out and it was all the theatre kids. Because there were so many people there it made the party kind of boring but it picked up after they left. There was flip-cup and beer pong and I think at least one round off buzz and card games and such. Around 2:30 I started to fall asleep in a chair (everyone had pretty much left at that point) so we decided to leave. All I remember about the drive back to campus was singing Wicked at the top of my lungs in a car full of people (Don't worry, we had a DD). Then I decided I was no longer tired so I made some food, but since I had to forks I felt the need to make it next door and steal their utensils. I managed to misplace my sandals, trip over everything, and pass out on the futon 10 minutes after eating. I could barely even make my own pasta, I had to have Pam stir it for me because I could barely function. It was a complete shit-show, I've never laughed so much at myself!!
Monday was the Mask & Hammer meeting, we all dressed up and once business was taken care of we had fun. We played a game where you eat a donut offa string without using your hands (I almost choked), bobbed for apples (and other various fruit), and a couple other random theatre games. Troy won the costume contest as Edward Scissorhands. Everywhere we went his costume was a hit! Troy did the make-up. Pam helped make the hands, and I had the fun job of getting the wig to look right. When he bought it, the wig was as long as my hair and looked like a cheap 80s rock star. The three of us are amazing together, I don't know what I'll do when Pam doesn't live with me next semester!!
Last night Troy and I went to a party hosted by Pam's sorority. Again, it was over crowded and slighty boring. There were a few fun parts but mostly I just wanted to go home. Finally Pam was ready to go so I drove us back (I was DD) and we ordered Dominos and watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre next door. By "we" I mean Troy and I because Pam and her friend passed out five minutes into the movie. Then his other suitemates came back, one of whom was COMPLETELY trashed and ended up passing out in my roommates bed. It took three of the boys to get him to his own bed.
That's basically it. Nothing very interesting to read but it was a good time for me. I don't have many pictures but here are a few:
