I have purple hair now.

The cat is adorable.

My roommates are awesome.

Reading break was fun.

That is all.

For the past couple of days, I've been recovering from the flu from hell, and yesterday was the first time I left my house since Wednesday. I couldn't have gone to class even if I wanted to. Because of the whole swine flu paranoia, they really don't want you to come to school if you're experiencing flu symptoms, even to the extent of being excused from exams. As a result I missed two whole days of school and have to reschedule one mid-term. It was shitty in itself, too. It's been ages since I've had the flu, and I didn't take too well to the fever and aches.

AND NOW MY ENTIRE HOUSE HAS IT. sorry guys :[

Brennen has... something. And Amber definitely caught exactly what I had. Poor thing. ;_; I didn't mean to bring home the pandemic from hell.

So I finally succeeded in getting a job (of sorts), even though all the work-study positions are full. I randomly ran into a grad student buddy of mine and mentioned I was interested in volunteering for labs and such, and she went and asked the supervisor of her lab about it on my behalf. And apparently they need all the help they can get. I know I'll be nothing more than a glorified gopher, but... but...

~*SCIENCE*~

So I'm going back home today for Thanksgiving. This morning I received some news.

"We are sorry, but one of the ferries is currently TOO ON FIRE TO SAIL, so half the sailings are cancelled. Sorry for the inconvenience."

If I even manage to get home I will be very lucky.

FUCK. MY. LIFE.

Today I bought a book from a random cheapass booksale that the library was having today. It's an almanac of sexual "psychopathologies" written in the 60's.

Most hilarious 50 cents I ever spent.

I even studied for this one. I thought I knew all of the calculations. And I did. BUT APPARENTLY THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Argh. Well at least I know better for the next one. And I should be thankful that there were a bunch of questions I could get the hang of i fucking own the frequency distribution charts. But just... ;_;

I better do well on BioPsych and Personality tomorrow. I'm not anticipating much trouble because thanks to the former's lack of decent notes, I've practically memorized the textbook chapters, and with the latter, I know the prof's tests are pretty easy.

In other news, things have been going splendidly. My roommates? ARE MADE OF AWESOME. It's a weird feeling being able to wander into the kitchen at midnight and end up having an impromptu house-meeting while collectively washing dishes/locating kitchen supplies/discussing Hobbes. I wound up climbing Mt. Tolmie with Amber at 2 in the morning after Rocky Horror on Friday. The view is spectacular. I'm going to have to do it again sometime. The hike isn't nearly as bad as I anticipated, and is kind of refreshing. And Jessie and I are collaborating on our Phil assignments now. I foresee many good times to come.

I've also been applying for research positions all over the place, and I managed to land an interview for one. I think it went well, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow or the day after to see if I got the job.

Random Observations:
-We had to wash part of the fridge in the shower last week because some sort of weirdass gunk was all over it.
-Amber and Jessie have a pet yeast. It dwells in the living room. I am convinced it will achieve sentience.
-Mango is on a diet. He is not adjusting well. Poor kitty~
-I need to buy groceries. I have a package of noodles, and a can of ravioli left. And I just ran out of milk. Damnit.

So today, instead of taking the #14 bus to school for my dreadful 8:30 class, I decided to switch it up and try the #4, just to see if it'd make my trip any quicker.

IT DID NOT

The bus came reasonably quickly, but it was completely full. Okay, whatever, I thought. Just wait for the next one, la dee da. The next one is also full... and the next... and the next.

The 5th bus finally wasn't packed full of middle-school kids and Camosun students, so I got on... about 5 minutes before my class started. In my panic I forgot to recheck my schedule and found out when I got to the labyrinthian mess that is Cornett that I did not, in fact, have BioPsych today, but Contemporary Ethics. Great. So I dashed through Cornett and made my way to Clearihue.

NEVER AGAIN

#14, you rock my world.

As far as classes go, things are going well. Contemporary Ethics and Contemporary Moral Problems have proved to cover very different material, so both will be interesting. Stats seems... manageable. The professor is this adorable older lady with a lisp. It's hilarious how she remarked that her sections were the most popular out of all the Stats classes this year. Maybe because, you know, the rest are taught by a douchebag Masson?

I put in my work-study application and it's supposed to be processed by tomorrow, so hopefully I can get a job. If it isn't, I'm going to have to try and beg random profs for a volunteer position. why yes, you can pay me in reference letters 8D.

My new place is awesome. My roommates are all amazing, and Mango the kitty enjoys sleeping under my bed and attempting to eat my comb. Be prepared for massive kitty picspams in the future.

BECAUSE THE CAT HAS TAKEN OVER MY BED.

He was meowing at my door a couple hours ago and since he's been very quiet since I moved in 2 days ago, I thought there might have been something the matter. Instead, he dashed right onto the centre of my bed and has been silently napping ever since.

Yeah, I could move him and sleep more. But he's just so fucking cute. ;~;

Other than that, the move went well and I'm settling in all right. Been hanging out with Kris and Brennen a bunch and that's basically it. Looking forward to getting to know my other roommates, though. They seem very nice and appropriately geeky.

Also, our refrigerator makes strange and unsettling noises during the night.

I've always been pretty good at pain tolerance. I can't remember the last time I've ever felt my eyes water at some kind of physical pain. I usually just swear a lot. But today I went to the dentist's for a small filling of all things, which was apparently enough to do me in.

They froze me, of course, but apparently my jaw is just so damn epic that it resists numbing, and by the time they drilled down to the nerve, there was much pain. ;_; I felt like such a wuss, but I wound up pussying out so much that the dentist decided to put off the other filling I have to get done because I apparently require a stronger anaesthetic to numb me all the way down.

On the upside, I have a tendency to pass out from needles, so I warned the dentist about that, even though I wound up maintaining consciousness. Maybe it's because when I have a needle in my arm/wrist, I insist on watching, and yeah...

Current Mood: wussy

I have many, but the best would have to be Mr. Bowden, who was my teacher for Grade 3. He was really big on reading and literature. So he made the entire class read and then perform Shakespeare. We also got to make our own little journals and write our own stories and such. He was awesome. And he remembered me (sort of) when I went back and visited before I went off to uni. 8D

Yeah, so anyways, I'm in a hotel in Victoria right now, just got back from the beach.

This has been the only beach occasion this summer in which I've worn a bathing suit. It felt really weird. Not that there was much swimming to be done. The water was freezing. ;_;
