Sooo Sleepy

Yet I still can't sleep. I've been tired and dragging my ass about all day from lack of decent sleep last night, and here I am up and awake again, though I would love nothing more than to fall into a deep sleep. Tuesday was a completely unproductive day. I didn't get much more than the minimum done at work, and even that was a challenge. I came home and got lost in TV watching rather than sinking into my ever growing pool of homework. I did make an attempt to crack the books for a little bit, then found myself as lost as I felt last week before my tutoring session. I saw one of my lens reps today, who will eventually be one of my optics teachers. He had recommended me to go the apprentice track rather than go for the degree, because all that really matters in the end is that I have a license. So now as I struggle along with Algebra, I'm wondering if that wouldn't be a terrible idea. I wonder if I could cram some extra OS classes in and get my certificate and license, then finish the rest of the courses afterward to get my degree. At least with my license, I'd make more money and school would be more affordable. I've just got way too much on my mind, and then I wonder why I can't sleep. I just feel lost and confused in many areas of my life right now. School, work, Craig, money, you name it, I'm just lost. I'm really looking forward to the extra day off this week for Thanksgiving to try and gather my thoughts and get things back on track. It's already 2:18 am, so I've been writing this for probably close to 45 minutes if not more because I keep getting distracted. Uhhhhg I really just want to sleep!

It's Done!!!!! It's Done!!!! Thank God It's Done!!!

The Monster window seat and pillows are DONE!!!! I can't wait to get them to Antonina, and I am not planning on ever volunteering for such a project again.

Ding Ding Ding De De Ding Ding

Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you.. Under Pressure... That's what I am today. I have a gazillion and eleven things to get done today. No, not tomorrow or the next day, TODAY!!!! Luckily with a middle name like Procrastination, I work well under pressure. It seems that without a deadline of some sort I get nothing done that I really need to. (Why would I want to do such a thing, get things done before their time, that's lunacy). I've got my massive list of things to do written out, I'll check in later to see how far I've progressed!

Slacker

I am a tremendous slacker (Procrastination is my middle name, I don't care what Lala says when she calls me by my other middle name, she just needs to get it right already). I took a little break from my overdue homework to take Kinsey Cakes for a little walk around the neighborhood and got some pictures (updated in my Flickr ) It's way too gorgeous of a day to be stuck inside doing Algebra and Writing essays all day. Off for lunch, then back to my regularly scheduled homework!

Painted the Day Away

I'm so terribly excited, I've been talking about painting my apartment for years. Today I finally did it. Well, Craig and I did it (painted that is, he also managed to paint a smiley face on Kinsey's head when I wasn't looking, brat...). I still have 2 hallways, one living room wall, the dining room/kitchen, and bathroom to do. Over the next couple of weeks we'll finish the rest of the apartment. I'm so happy already though. For the first time since I've been here, my home feels "homey" YAY!! Pics will be coming soon! I've taken a few days off (today, and Tuesday) it's so nice to get a little break from work. I have a thousand and 8 things to get done in this little break however, so I'm looking forward to taking another nice long weekend in the next couple of months to just enjoy. Tomorrow is going to be devoted to touching up some paint spots in the bedroom and doing massive amounts of Algebra and English homework

On a sad note, my Aunt Mildred passed away this past Sunday 10/21. :o(

On a cool note, I found out from Dad that my spidey senses are apparently a family trait :o)

More to come soon....

I Procrastinate, Therefore I Am.

Sunday morning, I find myself propped up in front of my computer; with a huge mug of coffee, my loyal morning companion. There is a skinny feral cat that's just come to sit on my patio, so I brought her out some food and water, and she skittered off back into the yard. I don't generally feed the cats outside of my apartment, not because I don't care about them, but because there are so many of them, I know for a fact that many people come along and feed them, and they tend to pee on your patio things when you do. But this poor thing looks so skinny and sad, I hope she comes to eat soon. Anyway, back to my Sunday morning. I've had 2 weeks to write an essay for English Comp on a reading based topic, do you think I've even started it before now??? Nooooo, meanwhile, it's due before 11 am tomorrow. I've also not even cracked my algebra book open this week. So today will be homework day, all because I'm a slacker, procrastinator extraordionare! Ask my about my monster sewing project, is it done.. uhmm Noooo. Have I worked on my Happy Fall Ya'll Shawl this week, Nooooo. I have learned however that knitting my first pair of socks on double pointed tiny knitting needles is going to require mucho practice on my part before the whole thing feels comfortable. So I guess all is not lost for the week :o) Well, I'm going to hop in the shower, try and wake myself up a little more, and get to work on this essay... then again, maybe I'll wait a little longer.

BARK BARK BARK

That's what I woke up to at 6 am, after about ohhh 4 hours of not so great sleep. Some little yappy dogs were out front barking at each other, so of course Kinsey had to chip in. Far be it for her to not let her doggy presence be known to everyone in the building. At least my early rising allowed me to get my Algebra exam completed. Now I'm off to the shower to get ready for work, despite the fact that my body and brain are protesting. They would be more than happy to just go back to bed and say a big screw it to going to work today.
