1:18 pm	Work Monotony Why hello world. I am currently sitting at work attempting to not resort to spider solitare to keep me company-my life is oh-so-exciting. I actually just came from a second interview for Sharp Medical on Genesse (get this: i have to interview twice, take two TB tests, and wait 3 weeks before i can volunteer my services in the physical therapy department). I was told the reason for the interview process is to make sure you are a dedication, non-homicial maniac. The good news is that I have now passed the second interview with flying colors...yay for not being homicial. The bad news is that I now have to wait two more weeks before I can even start volunteering. Other than that, banquets and catering work, playing on two soccer teams, and lots of homework (physics can kiss my ass) are keeping my company and ensuring my semester long sleep deprivation. Oh that and I now officially have my own set of adoring fans...they are a bunch of 16 year old girls that for some reason have felt the need to nickname me ravioli (i must say, that one is original). Im off to lunch, but shall definitely be talking to all of you very soon. Have a great weekend all, Leigh Current Mood: bored Current Music: Straylight Run-"Lucky" (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:02 pm	so im sitting at home at 11 pm on a weekend and have been sitting at home...it is very interesting...the last 2-3 weeks in general have been this way (ie-way too much hanging out with the family). i dont wanna say that im in a babbling rut and have no one to listen to so i am talking to myself again but using a medium so that those around me dont suspect me of eating paste again, but lets face it...paste it is. this vacation hasnt quite been so much of the vacation and i have realized that i need to go...somewhere...anywhere that isnt here. lets recap the break in two sentences: i broke up with peter (finally) about 2 and a half weeks ago and imed him yesterday about me dropping off his christmas present before he goes back to school...and he did the asshole thing of blatantly ignoring me (you know the whole come back from being away, go away again, become idle, come back again and no response). i also recently was under the impression that i went on a date last week (initially we were dinner-and-a-movieing it and eventually settled on books and coffee), but when i asked him if what we went on was a date, i got laughed at-that was fun. that and hanging out with mandi and jen a couple times, and getting to hang out with cindy last week (and hopefully help her with something even if that something is avoiding reality with her-yay denial), that was it. maybe if i go somewhere or do something, things wont be so rut-esque. the only problem is for this theory to be put into action, i have to have someone else who actually wants to go somewhere and do something (anyone else reminded of sister act: if you wanna be somebody and you wanna go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention). im thinking that a roadtrip by myself might be a bad idea. all i know is that this blah thing continues and i can think of only one solution-evasive action...duh duh duh.

9:53 am	So i realize i should try and update this thing more than once i year...i figure that is a good goal Let see...me...at the moment....I am a contradiction of apathy and absolute caring. i don't quite know why that is, but depending on my mood i will either lash out and cry or say "meh" (technical term) and move on. Also at the moment, i am stressed out more than i think i ever have been at college, which helps with that whole dealing with life thing...only not. i just cant understand why its an all or nothing thing. i either have an absurdly stressed out day or am particularly sad and then the next day, am fine again; more than fine i seem to be utterly recovered and happy...until the sadness/stressed-out-edness (another technical term) hits again. other than that, things seem to be fine. ok, back up-i have one more complaint. by boyfriend is an asshole (my affectionate nickname for him) and don't know how much longer i can wait for him to start caring. let's see...what else is going on? friends are getting me through...what else is new. i guess my goal for the rest of the semester is to not let the 5 papers that i have (including my 40 page thesis of which i have barely started) cause me to stop breathing. It's a war...school is trying to overtake me...and i refuse to let it. It's like Highlander (yes, I am that much of a nerd): in the end, there can be only one! And school...you are going down.

1:57 am	so just cause i update at 2 in the morning doesnt mean its not profound So today was a very interesting day. I cant really figure out what is bothering me...but i cant go to bed. Hence, I want to do the next best thing, but since talking to myself is out of the question (there is a slim chance that my roommates still consider me sane). My one resolution to my problem is to type to myself. You ever have one of those days where you need a smart person to come up with a profound quote to exemplify how you feel. Well that is me at the moment. So back to my interesting day (i don't go off topic ever..nope no rambling...it could never happen because i am so very task driven and feel the need to finish what i start the moment i start it) I do believe that i have come to a conclusion about the human race-we all have some degree of diagnosable psychosis (for those non-psych majors out there, that means we are all crazy-like). Sane and normal don't exist. Take for instance we all have pet peeves. Wouldn't "normal", "logical" people not have specific things that make them insane with frustration (you heard me jen, frustration) at the source of this pet peeve. Also, if people were "normal", life would be boring. While life can be hectic, stressful, aggravating, happy, sad, utopian, and filled with drama, it is not boring. And for that i am thankful. I think I'm gonna take my crazy self to bed now. Hopefully tomorrow I will make coherent thoughts once again.

12:25 am	Why is it that when you need sleep...well you know the rest So im tired...but i can't sleep. This is fun. By the way, there should some horns sounding right about now because this is my first update in...well...ever. But i maintain that my life really isnt all that interesting and the ones that are reading this at this very minute already know about me. But i shall continue anyway. So until i actually believe that i was in a crazy car accident last friday, im gonna keep subjecting my friends to that particular topic of babble. I think it was the fact that after severly wounding my innocent car, i drove away from it..as of from a bad dream. But the dream state can only last so long (i get go back to see the damage tom). Maybe then i can start to grasp what exactly happened. But other than that the weekend was pretty cool. I cant seem to grasp the fact that im in school again and cant get behind in work..but what else is new. Ive decided the root of the problem-im in a perpetually dazed state of mind. One of these days ill get it right...until then i bid the all goodnight...hopefully...eventually.

5:34 pm	hell week is finally over does it count if i survived physically if not emotionally or mentally. details right. no actually all was good until friday in which i didn't exactly do that whole finishing of the bio test because...well...it was too damn long. yay starting with a 70%. i figure ill just get a 100% on everything else to make up for it. it could work. and now i have officially sworn off hw. some people swear off beer or cigarettes. nope. i go straight for swearing off my academic livelihood. what can i say-im an individual. lets see what else happened this weekend...some gorgons, from the netherlands stopped off and had a bite to eat with me and beth...the cow jumped over the moon...oh and i metamorphosized (you heard me) into a 18-toed demon...i now scourge the countryside preying on defenseless trees and other such shrubbery. and no i did not lose all my mind this week-this much i can tell you. where was i. yes...we watched the matrix last night. beth kept smacking me awake, bless her soul. then we called it a night. oh and on friday i was helpful. i cut lettuce with the best of them. beth and i helped out her fam in this econ faculty craziness at their house. One of the teachers actually used bimodal in a normal conversation way. Needless to say, beth and i retreated. And on Saturday, we decorated the room. You'd be very proud, cause not only did we seasonally decorate, but we decorated-decorated. With the cobwebs of course. It is amazing how many halloween decorations Cindy has...lets just say our living room is orange with some black thrown in there for shits and giggles. im slightly off my hinges (if i had hinges to begin with) and therefore shall do something with my temporary need for bullshit and write an essay. bid you all adieu for now. Leigh PS-Hey Jen/Laura-are you guys still planning to travel on thanksgiving cause if not i would LOVE to come visit ya. The thought occurred to me that it is already October-when did that happen.

10:45 am	the birthday weekend so this weekend i ended my reign as a teenager and...began to uncharted journey into...*insert climactic drumroll here* adulthood. it was an amazing weekend, but course work, as it tends to do, got in the way. Friday was a little shaky in the middle, as the roommates will attest to, but it turned out to be an awesome bday-thanks to all that put up with me. Anyway, after a little "partay" at the apartment on friday, I slept, which i have decided is my new favorite thing to do, got up on Saturday and drove home. Refusing to do work on a Saturday, a conviction which as cost me some precious social interaction time since, i watched Alias-my mommie loves me and got me the third season on dvd-and went to my sister's soccer game. It was most amusing watching someone with less patience than i have coaching a bunch of 9 year-old boys. Peter came to visit, which was awesome, and hung out with me and my family. On Sunday, got up at 7 am and did work-had an essay to write, went to Mimi's with the entire extended family to celebrate, finished the essay and was driving back before 4pm. Yes, thats right. I got back before nightfall...insane,i know. And then started the studying for the hell week: three tests, including one in cell biology based on a year of chem i never had, two quizzes, a lab, and a partridge in a pear tree. Speaking of, it is time for the break to end and the studying to commence. Thanks to those across the pond for my gift-i wore it today and got two compliments on it (one from a cute soccer player). Anyway off i go to the realm of productivity (i have heard of it in stories). Later all!! Current Mood: productive Current Music: Who Needs Sleep-Bareneaked Ladies (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:24 am	friday has finally decided to show its face Hey all. Laura i tried replying to your comment twice and apparently i dont understand technology cause it killed it both times. So in conclusion i shall reply to your comment but not in a reply. That makes sense, right. Yeah work is more than slightly evil this semester and something must be done about it. For some reason i have been appointed to do a lot of 6 am shifts. So, knowing how little of my sleep i get already with other stuff with things, i went to my boss and told him i didnt wanna work the early shifts and that i didnt wanna work next weekend cause of my bday and whatnot. So the schedule came out today and not only am i working two 6 am shifts this week, one of them is on my bday, oh and one Black and White (evil 7 hour shifts) on Saturday. Can you imagine-6am on my bday. Unacceptable. So hes mad but cant be that much so because i kinda told him. The point is i eventually got out of it. As for the condo celebrating, not so far, but im thinking that i might do something not majorly organized for my bday. And with regard to cooking, i must say ha. I think we have cooked about a total of four meal-meals at the apartment and the rest have been snack meals (insert translation of snack-meals and meal-meals into leigh's version thereof). On another random note, i got so incredibly hyper this morning because i didnt know what i was getting myself into. So, as you might have already surmised, i didnt get a lot of sleep this week. To remedy the sleepiness factor, i went to aromas between my two friday classes and to get a coffee. Since i kinda needed a little extra kick, i got a triple cafe au lait. I now know that my body cannot handle such a drink. I went from calmly reading cell bio (a thrilling read in case youre interested) to loudly babbling on the phone to mi mama. Paul, who was on the other side of Paloma, came over to tell me that he could hear me and that i might wanna breathe more. The first step was to stop drinking the coffee, which of course hadnt occurred to me until then. It was fast talking, let me tell you. Anyway, that is all from my oh-so-interesting life at the moment. Until we meet again... (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:27 pm	school-the necessary evil -So ive decided something about Abnormal Psychology today. That something is that i shall perish somewhere along the semester from taking this class. And by that i mean my GPA shall perish. The upside is that it will be an enjoyable death. In translation, it is going to be hard but fun. This teacher is insane though. Not only were we supposed to have read before the first day of class, we were supposed to know that we had to read chapter 1 and 3. I actually got caught up this weekend to realize that her syllabus is merely a guideline. We went over chapters 2, 4, and 6 today, the second time we've had a class. Ok, enough ranting. -We cooked for the first time this weekend-fettichini alfredo and garlic bread-twas yummy. -We also made our first attempt to decorate the living room. I am determined to have decorations up in the room before the last month of the year. The rope lights, which have proved to be interesting to get to stay in any place that we want them to, were even more interesting this year. Sam and i attempted this feat. We conquered it...eventually. I think the total time was an hour and a half. What we really needed was a drill, but instead we used arm muscles. They are the same thing when you think about it. For those of you doubting that either sam and i can drill holes with our bare hands fear no more. The evidence is right in our living room. And of course when we have to do anything that requires us to do something we suck at, we get hyper. Lets face it-we just get hyper. I digress. Anyway, there is this whole dialog quote that i wont bore you with. One of the brilliant quotes of the night is, "Holy butt tingles, Batman." Guess who came up with that one. If you guessed Sam, you get a cookie. I'm gonna start the studying for the second test of the week. Did i mention that this semester is evil (and not in the same way that Beth is evil-yes ive finally got her to admit it).

5:31 pm	Im here, updated and everything Why hello all. I know...i know. I havent updated. But im here now to tell me about my third year back in the land of the blondes. We moved in and whatnot. The place is amazing. There is walking room. For a while i walked in circles just to use the walking room. Kinda crazy. I just had an amazing, relaxing weekend at the condo with the fam. They came down for labor day with my brother's friend along for the ride. I read, relaxed, and ate-three things i have decided i do very well. There was a couple of intense moments, but nothing out of the ordinary for me. Oh i do have one thing that happened. So my brother and i decided to go boogie-boarding, which i havent done in forever. We get into this conversation with my sis, my bro and i about how almost everything has happened to me. Stepped in a cactus, two knee surgeries, fall as often as possible, get kicked in the eye, dislocating knee caps, crutches in spain...the list goes on and on. And, since we were in the water we were talking about how id never had a lot of things happen-for instance getting bit by a shark, attacked by a school of fish, stung by a stingray, drowned-you know the little things. Then as i was walking out to catch more waves, i stepped on something slimy and cartilagenous (you heard me) and before i knew it i had been stung by a stingray. All was good until it started swelling and hurting from the toxins it injected into my defenseless foot. But i survived. And i learned my lessons. Never discuss the things that have and havent happened to me in a potentially dangerous location. Im thinking i might start a checklist so i can keep track of exactly what has happened to me. Anyway, that is my anecdote for the weekend. And now off to start the six things that i have for spanish hw. (Bye the way, what teacher comes to class on the first day of the semester and writes 6 things to do for hw). Yay for spanish. I shall overcome the busywork, if i can get over that whole other language thing that i have come to the conclusion i no longer know. Yeah spanish eludes me now. Not that it ever didnt. Why am i minoring in this again. Anyway, time to stop babbling at myself and start the busywork that never ends. Until we meet again... (2 Comments |Comment on this)
