Eating: HUNGRY D:
Drinking: Water... my cup is empty. I should go get some more.
Playing: Rune Factory 2 - I WANT TO FINISH WINTER DAMMIT
Smelling: Lasagna~ Yum~
Body: MY ARM ACCCHHHES WRYYY ;_; I didn't do anything weird with it... but it hurts. :/
Should be doing: Writing my Jake/Kyle fic (dammit I just can't start it in a way I like), casting my vote for the Village Square's most recent writing contest (that I didn't participate in because of finals), finishing RG's Hanekoma picture, Taylor's Barrett/Kyle picture, filing a JP11 form so I can work next semester, and an endless stream of other things.... Oh, and I should call Cassie, we were going to do something today...
Happy about: END OF SEMESTER WOOT WOOT. Finals sucked, but at least I have a week off and only 3 classes next semester. Sucks that I have to go to school in the summer, but it's not a full class load, so I'm not going to complain.

KitsunenoTora is feeling: Excited, annoyed, angry, hungry

Oh wow. Look. It's been over a month since I've last touched this. XD

Anyway, I've had lots to blog about; some bad things, some good things, some average things. I just couldn't be bothered to. XP I don't remember ANY of the things I've wanted to blog about in the past month or so, so we'll just try our best.

I just got off the phone with my friend Cassie. We're going to go out and do something together. Most likely shopping. XD Mother's Day is Sunday, so it's not a bad idea. I'm excited, I haven't seen her in about... 3 months, maybe? Our class times don't match up very well. I never get to see her. :( I found her yesterday in the hall reading a book, and we chatted for a little while, but we didn't get to talk much because I was about to be late for work. ^^; She asked if I wanted to hang out, and we agreed that she would meet me yesterday afternoon at my house because I had borrowed her calculator last semester and wanted to return it. But she had to cancel (after coming to get her calculator, of course) because she had a band concert and needed to get ready for it. So we're going out today. :3

After the fact: Grr, I'm so disappointed in my town. :/ THERE'S NOTHING TO DO NUUU. We planned on going to Target to look for Mother's Day gifts, then to go to Novi to search for that international marketplace that my uncle told me about a couple months ago. Apparently she had tried to find it with Elise, but they couldn't find it. XD

We went to Target first, but there wasn't anything that either of us thought our mothers would be interested in. We browsed the games section for a few minutes, but that store's selection is shit, so it didn't take long. XD I did end up finding something I wanted, though: Guitar Hero 1. I only have II, and I haven't played I in forever. :D I'll have to get my guitar from my dad's place and play it soon~

She got some random game I don't remember... I think it was a MySims thing for the DS. I dunno.

After that we headed for Novi, but traffic was AWFUL. Bumper to bumper all the way there. So after sitting in traffic for a few we gave up and headed toward West Bloomfield. I kind of wanted to go to Marvin's Mavelous Mechanical Museum (best arcade evar) to play some games and see if one of our friends were working, but Cassie didn't seem fond of the idea. She had been to Borders earlier that day too, so that idea was shot down as well. XD We ended up across the street at Best Buy. browsing more games (I was tempted to buy Fable, but the package was vandalized so I didn't bother) and looking at phones. I need to get one soon, if I pass my driver's test on Saturday I'll be getting my license (finally) and a car, and it's just easier to have one for school. I couldn't decide, and I wasn't planning on buying one just right then, so I just picked up some brochures. I've got to look at a couple of different plans and decide what I can afford, since I'll be paying for it myself, in addition to buying my own gas. I need more hours at work, or another job. ^^; After that we couldn't think of anything else to do, so she invited me to come to her house sometime eventually and we went home. :/

So, like I said, my driver's test is Saturday. 7 am. DX Ugggh, who wants to take a driver's test at 7 am. DX But that's the only time they had available that I wasn't busy, so that was the one I had to take. I need my license, it's not like I can take a bus or something, and my mom is being run ragged picking up my sister and I at random times of day. XD Plus, it'll give me more freedom to do what I want without having to wait for my mom or dad to take me. :D I'm a bit nervous though, hopefully I'll be able to get up and not be too groggy. XD

We just got our phone fixed today~ Finally, it's been going haywire for over a week now. :/ We couldn't get calls in (only occasionally you would catch it at the right time and it would go through), and there was a horrible loud buzzing noise that made it impossible to hear anyone. Plus, we also got digital cable~ We have so many channels now~ Plus, it has RADIO. How awesome is that. I was listening to the rock and classical channels this morning. XD There's a really heavy metal channel too, but I only turned it on for a second and didn't want to listen to it. XD Sorry, heavy metal is not my thing. XP Plus, my mom absolutely hates the stuff (classic rock, opera, and oldies for her only), so it was out of the question. XD

But, keeping to the balance of our house, right after the phone was fixed and our cable was upgraded, my mom discovers that the toaster is broken. :/ It won't work, at all. You press down the lever and nothing happens, the light doesn't even come on. Stupid piece of trash, it's not even a year old. :/ I wonder what happened to it.

Oh, OH~ I think I should mention this. XD Last week, I got to talk on the phone with Taylor~ <3 Woo~ XD It was nice. Her voice is verrrrry mature sounding. D: She sounds so much older than she actually is, it was surprising. Of course, the phone was on the fritz then, so I had to jam the earpiece to my ear to hear her, but it was still nice~ She just told me now she's busy with homework, so I won't ask to call her tonight, but I want to again~ She talked to Shadow on the phone too, right after we hung up, but apparently she couldn't stop giggling as soon as he said hello. Silly girl. XDD Apparently Shadow's voice is very deep and cute (according to Taylor, of course.XD), but Shadow keeps on denying it. He says it's disturbing in its deepness. I called bullshit, and demanded that he let me call him so I could decide as an unbiased third party, but it never happened. XD I dunno~ Maybe someday, but we really don't get along fabulously, so I doubt it. XD We don't fight or anything, we do get along, we just don't have much in common at all.

Pretty much everyone in the forum has been sick in the past week or two. :/ Yuki and Usagi have gotten flu-like colds, Mima was sick, and now Noah is too. Plus, Raven has been having to go to the doctor's. I don't know what for exactly though, but it worries me. :( Apparently he's been weak or something? I think he said on Tuesday that the doctor had told him to start eating more.. As a result, his parents have been limiting his computer time and making him rest, which I don't mind, but I'm wondering exactly what's going on, because he hasn't told us anything much. He only gets on really late at night (for me, anyway), posts once or twice, and then gets off. D: Grrr.

Something nice (and fun) happened last night though. XD I finally got to finish up a Conversation thread and start one myself~ Woot~ XD I like starting new threads. Usagi and I spammed it at the end, it was fun. XD We go through those thread like I DON'T KNOW WHAT, though. O.o We're on number 6 already. We started number five on... April 10th, I believe, and started the new one late last night. XD;;; NOT EVEN A MONTH. THAT HAS TO BE A NEW RECORD. 8D It would have been finished today if we hadn't spammed it, anyway. Dai and Taylor assisted in the beginning, but it was allllll Usagi and me the last two pages. It was FUN, MAN. 8DDD~ Usagi is a lot of fun to spam with, she comes up with the most random funny stuff. XD

Oh, and in addition to finishing off the 5th Conversations thread, I also changed my penname. I've never been particularly happy with it, but I could never think of anything I liked better. Well, now it matches my username here. :D Taylor didn't want me to do it, but after hearing what I was going to change it to she said she was okay with it. XD She just wanted to keep the relevancy of her nickname for me. I like the Kitsune part, just not the Tsukikari part so much anymore. I found that word when I was trying to find a penname, so I just used it. Plus, it also just so accidentally happens to be one of my irl friend's nickname, so I always felt like I was copying her or something. She was the main driving force behind me joining the site (and deviantart), so I always felt like a copycat. :/ But not so much anymore~ (Although she WAS the one who suggested the tora part to me. XD) It means "The Fox's Tiger," by the way.

I finally got access to my grades today. I GOT A B IN CHEMISTRY, BITCHES. A B! I couldn't believe it. XD Horray for extra credit tests and FUCK ALL EASY finals worth lots of points, woot. XD I was failing all the way until the final, but that extra credit and the test just BOOSTED ME UP MAN~ Of course, though, my Algebra and English classes suffered because of all my Chemistry stress, and I ended up with B-s in each of those, but ehhh. I PASSED CHEM BITCHES. XDDDD <3

And of course, I got an A in Government. I wonder why I even bothered buying the book for that class, I just skimmed it the days before the test. I have no idea how anyone could do bad in that class, he gave out TONS of extra credit (seriously if you took advantage of every oppourtunity you could just fail pretty much everything and then do the extra credit and pass with a B), and the tests were SO EASY. Anyone with half a brain could answer those. I got by with mostly just his failtastic lectures and my shitty memory. XD

I've had some kind of "artistic slump" lately. I can't draw anything without it looking awkward and wrong. I can't start the fanfic I've had swimming around my head for about a month now. I have two thrown out drafts of the first chapter, one of which is only half done. I just can't start it in a way I think is well done. :/ I could probably do all the middle parts no problem, it's just the starting it that I'm having a problem with. It's frustrating. I keep up dreaming new scenes and cute ideas for the fic, but it's not going anywhere if I don't start it. But everything I come up with is boring, I don't see how it could capture any reader unless they came looking for the yaoi. It's going to be an epic tale (love story, of course XD), but that will be pointless if the first chapter is boring and doesn't attract anyone.

....Amusingly, I think I'm pretty much the only yaoi fic writer in the Rune Factory 2 fandom, sans one fic that I apparently inspired someone to write (it's dedicated to me, rofl. XD The author is such a spazz, I talked to her for a bit. Too bad it sucks, honestly. :/ She's not a very good writer). But my fic was just a pure fluff oneshot, nothing serious. This fic that I've been trying to work on is going to be a serious romance, and I'm going all the way. XD It's probably going to be the first Jake/Kyle fic, I haven't seen one posted. It's also going to be my first time writing a lemon, fweee~ (Lol I'm such a perv~) Well, except that little snippet Taylor and I tag teamed on a couple months back. That was HILARIOUS, especially with who it was on. XD We were having a forum shipping creation bonanza, and had created a shipping for Dai and Raven. Earlier (or was it the day before?) Dai had written one of his purple prose-filled yaoi shorts, and it offended whoever it was written on, I don't remember who. Mima got pissed, rofl. XD So Taylor and I gave in to the temptation and tag teamed on him and wrote one ourselves. Poor Raven, caught in the crossfire. XD We scarred him for life, we did. But he knew it was all in jest, so it ended okay~ XDDD

THIS IS INSANELY LONG SO I'M GOING TO END HERE, OKAY~? :D Hopefully I won't take a month to update this again. XD

Goodnight, digital abyss (and Dixie).

KitsunenoTora is feeling: Tired, overheated

Yet another day I didn't get up when I told myself to. I set my alarm to wake me up at 11:00, because I wanted to get up early to study some more for my chemistry test, but I ended up getting up around 1:00. >.> I stayed up too late, I was just too awake last night to even think about getting into bed until nearly 4 am. Now today, for some strange reason, I was really tired at midnight. (Although it's almost 3 now, haha. XD) I don't get it - I didn't sleep much more than I usually do, maybe an hour more. I got 10 instead of 9. It just took place at different times. Well, actually, I think I got around 6 or 7 last night... I dunno, I don't remember. It's strange, sometimes I work better on less sleep than I do on a normal amount or more. You'd think it'd be the opposite, but I've had days where I was way more awake and alert while running on 4 hours of sleep than days when I get 8 or 9. Weird~

Anyway, I got up, took a shower, and studied some more. Although it was really hard to concentrate on it - I can't do anything if there's a tv on in the room I'm in, my eyes and attention are just drawn to it automatically. Even if it's a show I despise and would rather do my work. I'm just so easily distracted. ^^;; So I ended up watching more of the movie that was on (that I've seen 50 times but just can't remember the name of... hell, I can't even remember the name of one of the actors. I am lame. DX He's Indiana Jones. Goddam I'm awful. XDDD) than studying, but I had gone over everything the night before, so.... I did know a few things.

I went to class an hour early because Dr. Khan said he'd also be there early to help us study and answer questions. He ended up being 15 minutes late, which he blamed on a broken copier. In the end, he only did one problem in front of the class, the rest of the time was spent joking with one of the other students and taking individual questions. Which was annoying - I didn't have any specific questions, I just wanted him to do a few of the problems on the board with the class as practice so I could set it more solidly in my brain. Last minute cramming is not the way to go, and I wanted him to do some a few times so that it would at least stick longer in my brain. So I was basically left to my own devices anyway. I probably won't go early again. Although, it was good study time, there wasn't much to distract me except my own nervousness. Half my time before the test was spent nervously tapping my foot and staring off into space, trying to remember things - I was way too nervous to focus on a sheet of paper. DX

5:30 rolled around, and it was time for the test. I have never been so nervous for a test in my life. Luckily beforehand he mentioned that he went easy on us on Chapter 6 - there were two problems, and you could pick whichever one you wanted to do, and only one. I picked the easiest one, of course. XP Anyway, I skipped right to the math problems section, because that section was the one that I had all my cramming teetering on the edge of memory for. So I got that done and then did the multiple choice in the beginning. I think I did well, which I'm relieved about. I did so terrible on my last test, I don't even want to think about it. DX There were two multiple choice questions I wasn't too sure about, and one math problem one that I got confused about at the end, but I'm pretty confident I got at least a B. I finished really early too - at about 6:10 - so I spent a good 20 minutes checking over my math and making sure I didn't make any minor errors. Then I turned it in (almost knocking over one of the expensive glass tubes on the desk in the proccess, oops. Luckily he caught it) and walked around for a while. I was going to go to the library right away and get on a computer until 7, but then I realized that Andrea might be hanging around the corner in the cafe, so I headed there. This big fat Asian guy was walking by - apparently he saw me playing Kingdom Hearts with Andi yesterday. I guess he joined the club, but I'd never seen him before yesterday. He introduced himself and shaked my hand. I think his name was Kevin, but I'm not sure. I'm terrible with names. XD; His hand was REALLY WARM. Like, he was feverish or had just been running for a while. (But he wasn't sweaty, and with his physique I doubt the latter, sorry to say. >.>;) It was strange, but maybe it was just me, I was just outside. I felt my hand afterwards, and it was cold, so maybe.

I just saw the usual guys playing video games and that board game that I can't understand no matter how many times I've seen it played, so I turned around and left. That Kevin guy had acted like he wanted me to wait around and talk, but I wasn't too interested. He seemed nice and all, but it didn't seem very reasonable to me to stick around for only half an hour, he'd probably just get back as I was leaving. Plus, I don't know a lot of the guys in the club that well, anyway.

Went to the library and surfed the forum for a bit. It was really busy, but no one was really talking about anything I wanted to talk about, so I just commented on my test and surfed the net for a few minutes before I had to leave.

I walked down to A building and waited for my ride there. A few of my classmates were in the little lobby there talking about the test - one of them asked me how I thought I did. Although she didn't ask me anything after that, although it looked like she wanted to make conversation. Oh well. I waited around for about 3 minutes before I realized Pat's truck was outside, I had been looking for mom's van instead, so it didn't even register. He parked way at the other end of the circle anyway, which is kinda hard to see because of the blinds.

Got home and did really nothing of importance... just ate, worked in Photoshop, taked on the forum a teensy bit, played Rune Factory 2, etc. Oh, and I talked to Silent. Apparently that girl he had been forced to ask out by his friends (who said no, twice) made a bet with one of her friends - and if she loses she has to go out with him. I told him that if she loses that bet he should say no - she's just playing games with him, and he's just going to get hurt. I can tell that she's totally not worth it by what he's told me, anyway. Although he didn't exactly tell her in the most eloquent of ways... he outwardly said "I hope you win that bet" rather than explaining how he feels about the bet to her... I don't think it went over that well. He said later that she said "I'm going to drop a nuke on you," but he wasn't sure if she was joking. I don't think she was. He definitely soiled something in the way he said it - she's definitely mad. I had been really hoping that for his sake, things would end up well... but he handled it in the wrong way and screwed it up, it seems. D: Poor Silent, I feel bad for him. But what do you expect? Despite how mature he is (even I'm impressed, I wish my brother was as mature and smart as him) he's only 12, and has never dealt with something like that before. He didn't even want it to happen - he confided in one of his friends that he liked her, and word spread amongst his other friends, who then forced him to ask her out, starting the whole thing.

Of course, I have no right to talk, since I've never even gotten even close to confessing to someone and have no personal experience, but I've seen it a million times before, so I can at least work with it "on paper." He said it in a hateful way - which is a reasonable reaction, just not the right one - instead of just mentioning how he feels about it in a calm way, so it's bound to blow up in his face. I just didn't tell him - I didn't want to ruin any hope he had. And you never know, I might be wrong. Maybe she was joking, and wasn't offended. I wasn't talking to her, so I can't know.

...I'd offer to join in a group chat with him and her to help sort it out, but he got rather philosophical after she logged out and started quoting some lines from a website. One was something akin to: "When the pain becomes enough, people will allow anyone to be a doctor."  Which applies directly to that offer, and after mentioning it he told me that he wanted to work it out himself rather than rely on someone else to try and fix it. That he'd rather suffer nobly than lean on someone else he hardly even knows. Which is admirable. Plus, I know that road too well - from trying to help Dixie. She got to the point that she cried out for help on her forum, to a group of people she hardly knows, just has a relationship with over the internet... and none of us could help her, really. So I couldn't exactly offer to act as a medium and help them figure it out, could I? It's not my business anyway, no matter how much I want him to work it out in a way that doesn't hurt him too much. There's only so much I can do, so I suppose I can only just be there to hold conversation with him while he tries to sort it out. He told me that it helps him keep his composure, so I guess it's enough.

...This is getting surprisingly long considering it's only spanning one day for once. O.o It's really late anyway, I should head to bed. (WTF why do I keep on spelling "bed" as "bead?" DX)

Goodnight, digital abyss.

Health: Feeling better, but my throat has been unusually thirsty and I've got a terrible taste in my mouth and nose that won't go away. I think it's coming from my lungs. :/


KitsunenoTora is feeling: Anxious, worried, and tired

Meant to update this Monday night or yesterday, but I didn't. Oops.

I should be studying right now, but I just can't make myself any longer. I'll get up at a reasonable time tomorrow morning to study some more, and Dr. Khan is supposed to arrive early to review with the class before the test, so I'm confident I'll at least be able to pass the test from short term memory, at least.

I've kinda failed myself once again - I promised myself that I'd stay on top of my Chemistry so that I wouldn't bomb the next test like I did the last one. I still haven't read the chapters. I'll probably do not so well on the multiple choice, but the problems are what I'm most worried about - they're the majority of the points in the test, which I failed to realize for the last test, and thusly focused and took more notes on that stuff than was strictly needed. Ehhhhhhhh.

Monday was actually a very good day, despite having to get up at 7:30 am for work, being sick I couldn't fall asleep, so I was still sick and running on about 3 hours of sleep. >.> I ended up sleeping through my alarm until around 8:15 when mom came and woke me up. I had meant to work on my notecards and outline that morning during the time between my shower, eating, and getting ready for work. Didn't happen - I only had time to shower and get ready for work, not even for any breakfast. :/ We also didn't have any bread, so I couldn't make a lunch. Which meant I had to waste $6.30 in the cafeteria on not-so-good and tiny food at lunch time. DX

So I got in at 9:00, the start of my shift. I've never opened the computer labs before, so I was a little confused at first, but it wasn't that big of a deal. At least I didn't have to go and open each of the classrooms and make sure they were clean. Carla came through and opened the lab doors and turned on the lights while I was putting my coat on the hanger and putting my bag away, and I went through putting down the mice and keyboards and turning on the machines in the two rooms. Which took FOREVER, by the way. But after a row I got a good rhythm going and it went faster, so I guess it wasn't that long of a job. It was still slightly annoying - sometimes when I took the mouse and mousepad off of the keyboard set on top of the monitor the keyboard would slip off and fall, which isn't good for the poor thing. One of the keyboards was slightly broken, - not by me, it was that way when I found it - the little tab that keeps it at an angle was broken off on one side. No big deal though, I just snapped it back into place. My back kinda hurt from bending over and straightening over and over again about 100 times, though. DX I had to bend over to push the button on each of the machines to turn them on, then straighten up to put the mousepad, mouse, and keyboard on the desk at the next computer.

Anyway, Mary is in by now, and she and Carla are talking about how much rain we had gotten over the weekend, all the flooded roads, moving furniture, etc. Small talk. I join because I don't have really much to do then until more people arrive. We talk like that for a while, people file in and out, I do some homework, wipe down the coffee counter, check in the labs to push in chairs and make sure no one has any drinks or food, fill the printers, etc. Normal stuff. I got to go on the computer for a few minutes though, which was nice. I like talking on the forums with everyone, and being surrounded by all those computers which I can do it on (and I know they're on) and not being able to do so is kinda annoying sometimes. I'm addicted, I know. XP I don't care.

Lunchtime rolls around, and I'm STARVING. I was running on 3 hours of sleep and no food already, and I was sick. Not a good idea in and of itself, I'm surprised I managed to not pass out during the times I had nothing to do. ^^; I told Mary I was going to lunch, and headed to the cafeteria, since I had no lunch of my own. Got a cheeseburger and fries, and a sierra mist. I regretted the Sierra Mist later - wished I had gotten something with caffeinne in it when I was crashing again. ^^; It was a tiny little burger, but there was a substantial amount of fries, which was okay. At least it tasted good - I've heard my friends complain about getting bad food there before. Mary commented on it too, she was also surprised that I managed to get something that was good there, despite it's small size. I should have gotten a turkey or ham wrap though - a lot more food, and I didn't have to wait 20 minutes to get it. They make things by order there, so it took a while for my food. I only have a 30 min. lunch break, so I had to take my food with me back to the office and eat it there.

Nothing really of note happened between lunch and 3 - I missed on making the coffee like I'm supposed to do because of my food run, so Bette wasn't very happy that she had to make it herself, but she and two other people are the only ones who really drink it, so. I wanted to make some of that nice orange tea (it's delicious with 3 packets of sugar and cold. Which is surprising and good - I usually don't like tea, hot or iced, but it's good for you.) but I didn't want to do so when I had a bottle of pop. Plus, I really wouldn't be able to enjoy it - I couldn't even smell it because of my cold. It's very fragrant, I like it. :3 It smells WONDERFUL. Maybe next week.

After 3, I head to the corner of the cafeteria where the gaming and anime club is. Andrea isn't there, much to my dismay - she was supposed to bring her PS2 so she could help me play Halloween Town. I call her on Pat's cell wondering where she is, and she was at home. I guess it wouldn't have mattered - both of the tvs were occupied, and neither of us really thought we would be able to commendere one of them from the boys. She came anyway to keep me company, which I was glad for. I like seeing her, and I want to see her as much as possible before she leaves in the Fall. I'm so going to miss her - I even asked her to never fade away on Facebook. >.>;;; She's my only IRL friend I really enjoy hanging out with.

She got her hands on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which I'm jealous of. I only could find Trials and Tribulations, which is like... the 3rd in the series, I think. It references what happens in the first one a lot, which confuses and annoys me sometimes. She brought it to play since she finished TWEWY. But the really fun part of the day was after I gave her her birthday present: An I <3 Yaoi bag I got on sale at the discount bookstore. Twas a score, it was, and I knew she'd absolutely love it. And she did. XD She ran around the corner showing everyone, who either congratulated her and laughed (Mostly girls and two or three guys) or cringed and tried to run away from the bag (the rest of the boys. Not that they're homophobic or anything, I'm sure none of them have a problem with it, but yaoi scares them. And Andi scares them. Andi + yaoi = FUCKING HELL IT'S A FANGIRL GET IN THE CAR.). She had a blast scaring/torturing them all by touching them with the bag or showing it to them, it was a lot of fun. I'm glad I got it for her, haha. XD

The only kinda bad thing about the end of the day was that I had to wait until 6:00 to get a ride home from Andi - mom and Pat went out to the bar, so I couldn't get a ride home from them. By the time I had gotten home, Dad had already picked up Joey and went to Grandma's without me. DX They couldn't wait 5 minutes for me to get home, I guess. :/ I figured Joey would realize I would get a ride home close to the time I had to leave, since I did talk to him on the phone an hour before, but I guess he isn't that smart. DX I called Grandma, and my dad came back to pick me up. Ate spagetti dinner, finished betaing twiinklestar's KuroFai fic, watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, blew my nose more times than I wanted to. It's been peeling today. DX

Tuesday I had work at 2 until 5. I had planned on getting up at 9:30-10:00 to start studying for my test and prepare for the lab that day, but... didn't happen again, lol. ^^; I'm terrible. I think I woke up around 11:30, showered, ate, packed my Chemistry stuff to do at work, packed my lunch, etc. I forgot my lab goggles for the second time. I'm out of strikes - next time it happens I can't do the lab. DX Next lab is the Acid/Base one too, so I DEFINITELY need goggles for that one. I gotta remember next time.

Met the tutor Jay for the first time. She's Indian, and has a REALLY THICK ACCENT. I can't understand half the shit she says. DX I'm terrible with accents - both in doing them myself and understanding them. Especially Indian accents. I mostly just nodded whenever she said anything. Only got a few strange looks from her, so I guess I did okay. XDD She apparently really likes doing crafts, Mandy - the girl with the shift before me - and her were doing origami and other things when I walked in, and she was talking a lot about scrapbooking and where to get good supplies with Bette. She's nice though. I told her that I like to do origami too, and she asked me if I could make paper cranes. I can, so I said yes. Apparently she wants to make a mobile of them for Bette, since they're good luck and Bette apparently likes that type of thing. I'm supposed to help her next week.

After work I ate my lunch and headed to class. We finished up chapter 6 and discussed how to do the lab, much to my joy. It was also much to my joy that I actually got it right on the prelab - maybe I should do my prelabs at work more often, haha. Maybe it helps me understand better or something. XD I was glad that we went over it in class, it made the lab MUCH EASIER and faster. I still have to do all the calculations and fill out my report sheet, but I can get that done fast now that I know how to do it. I might just do it to study for the test tomorrow morning, if I have the oppourtunity and time.

The lab went by really fast, I was done and cleaned up by 8:45, and we started around 7:15. An hour and a half - a new record. XD Most labs take until at least 9:30. (Excluding that god-awful copper cycle lab, ugh that was an abomination. Fun because there were a lot of cool colors involved, but complicated and lengthy.)

Went home, worried about my non-existant math homework, and ended up not doing my notecards and outline. I was completely out of it- I could hardly form a coherent sentence while talking to Mima on YM or Kotor and Truth on the LTP, let alone work on a paper. So I didn't. I regret it - I didn't have time to do it this morning. I thought it would be a quick thing, but I was wrong. As it turns out, one of my needed IRL book sources is actually a NOVEL, which is of no use to me, so I have to find another non-internet source. Don't think I'll be too lucky.

I got my inquiry paper back in English - I got an 88%. I was sad, I thought I did better. But he said it was too informative - I didn't have enough of myself in it. Well, sorry, but I have to explain where my ideas come from before I present them, and by the time I'm done explaining it was already 5 pages, past the limit of the paper already. DX Oh well. :/

Andi brought her PS2 this time, and we managed to get a tv from one of the groups of boys. The Xbox was leaving with it's owner in a few minutes, anyway. :3 Andi and that one guy (I'm terrible with names, STFU) helped me through Halloween town, I couldn't figure it out for some reason. XD But I still feel like I'm missed something. D: I know there was that one treasure chest that neither Andi nor I could reach, but I feel like I missed an entire section, it was just too short. But I did do a few things a few weeks before, so I guess it might be just my imagination. I'll have to check the guide later. Finished Halloweentown - Oogie Boogie was really easy, despite me not having the forsight to give Goofy or Jack any items. DX I normally do that, but I didn't this time. I almost died once or twice, but luckily I didn't run out of Ethers before it was too late. Around 5:15 we switched to KHII, since I wanted to eat something before my class at 5:30. I wanted to see Axel, but she didn't get to that point before I had to leave. DX I was late to class, too!

Math was a train wreck - I know I did terrible on the quiz, not having the homework really threw me off. It also didn't help that I hadn't so much as THOUGHT of any of the stuff for two weeks. DX At least all the homework I have to do this week is study for the next test, that's not so hard. Hopefully I'll get better than a C on the next one. D:

....This is so long that it's freezing up. Maybe I shouldn't do blog posts spanning 3 days anymore. XD;; I should stop, it's already 3:30 am and I have to get up at a decent hour to study and possibly go to the Secretary of State. Goodnight, digital abyss.
