I am getting older, and it's weirding me out. Maybe being in all 1000 level courses this semester has been messing with me, but dang. It seems like even here on livejournal, I've become this old woman. I remember when I was younger than most of the people I encountered in communities. Now all I come across are teenagers. I miss being a teenager. ]:

I've been thinking about changing my style lately. I don't want to start wearing make-up or anything, but I'm tired of looking the way I do, and I don't just mean weight-wise. I feel like nothing about me is attention-grabbing aside from my hair. But who exactly do I want to be? I'm always a work in progress. Meh.

This past week has a lot of good moments (and a few...interesting ones). Last Friday meant a lot to me; Ashly's party was fun despite people being incredibly lame and missing out on laser bears saving the day against alien robot hookers; and Jake and I have been hanging out almost daily lately. He's a great friend, which makes me wonder why I thought he disliked me for so long. Hmmmm. I hope we'll hang out over the break, but either way I'm excited to get back to Tulsa. YAY HOME.

Now if only Friday would hurry up and get here. (But not until after Justin and I have some hang out timez tomorrow!)

kadgskljhasdgkjajgljg [insert continued bitching about studying here but homg text books are soooo boring] BACK TO WORK. JEEZ. All I have left is that damn history final, and, while I'm not having nightmares over it like I was the midterm, I do not feel prepared at alllllll. D|

O YEAH. Thanks for sending me little gifts, those of you who have! ♥

I. Hate. Studying.

I am not actually failing the course I'm not really in. W after all. Rawr. I am so ready to be done with this semester. I hate that I have to stay all the way until Friday next week. BLAAAAAH. At least Jake will be up here, and I can do nothing but dick around Wednesday and Thursday if I get my studying done early.

The speaking portion of the Chinese final was today. My partner and I made a ninety-nine on it, each losing only one point for our pronunciation. I feel like my Chinese is soooo....not good. I have trouble understanding my classmates when they talk, but not listening to my teacher or tapes, so I'm not sure what's going on. BAH. Such an important language. I'll stick with it, but I definitely need to put some more effort into learning.

Busy weekend AHOY. Finishing stuff for Ashly's party tonight (minor details and a mask), stage combat and the party tomorrow, and then probably locking myself away to study for a good portion of Sunday. Or, you know, play video games or daydream about cosplay while watching old school anime, idk. Joeyski has to stay up in this area for the weekend, so I'm going to be allllll alooooone. ;^;

Good luck to everyone taking finals these days!

I just got a notice that was apparently sent out in early October stating that I have an F in my Arabic class. You know, that Arabic class that I dropped with enough time to have a W on my transcripts?

I can't find a carbon copy of my withdrawal slip, and I'm really scared they are going to pull some bullshit on me. When I dropped that class, it was while they were switching systems. I was told that it couldn't be processed until the next week but that I would still get a W on my transcripts. I'm willing to bet that if I can't prove it, they'll slap me with an F I don't deserve.

I really hope this was sent right before they processed my withdrawal. I know I've checked my mailbox more than once since early October.

FUCK THIS SCHOOL. SERIOUSLY.

brb, g2g smack a bitch. (Haha, no one uses "g2g" anymore. Weird.)

I hate Christmas shopping. Not because of crowds or spending the money, but for two other reasons:

1) No one tells me what they really want most of the time until I've already bought something and gotten attached to the idea of giving it. In the store, it seems perfect, but now that I know, I start second-guessing how well I know my friends. I don't mind trying to get gifts without a list. I just don't want to get someone crap that they're going to put on a shelf and never think about again. And I'm pretty damn sure I know exactly where some of the things I gave out last year are sitting at this moment. (....which might also be because these things are books, but books that probably have not been touched. I need to learn that not everyone will be as thrilled with whatever novel/comic book/non-fiction/ripped paperback found on the side of the road as I might be.)

2) Just when I've purchased something I think will be great, the next store I go into has something even better for a specific individual. This has happened already, and I've only been to two different stores. algfkhadfhoadofhfg


BAH HUMBUG.
