The boyfriend found an apartment! If all goes according to plan, we'll be spending the day before and the day of Thanksgiving packing and then moving on the Friday after or at least sometime that weekend, depending on the people we'll have to rope into helping us. Good thing we don't celebrate holidays. And the best part is: It's NOT a dump and it's NOT in the scary part of this area! :D

Aaaand...begin rambling:
I had to quit eating last Thursday because my throat refuses to allow me to swallow food. It's lasted longer this time than the last time it happened, but it's okay because I was able to eat a couple slices of ham of the soy variety this weekend and I can now manage to swallow something thicker than water. If I toss some almond milk, two bananas, and some peanut butter in the blender when I get home from school, I should be fine. I'm not fatigued or woozy and I haven't collapsed, which all usually happen when I don't eat for just one day. It's like my body has done some sort of spiffy trade-off. Now my allergies are acting up, but that somehow seems to have prevented my throat from swelling to the point that I can hardly breathe today. Or maybe I'm just getting better.

Also, I found out that I didn't actually get an 86 on my stats test. He just hadn't finished grading everything and it's really a 96, which makes a lot more sense. I got a 47/45 on my second test and supposedly got a 103/100 on my third test, but I don't trust that grade since I'm certain that I bombed the last question on that test and probably got a couple points off on the other seven. Not looking forward to seeing my actual grade once she gets that sorted. It's probably somewhere around 80. Fourth test is on Thursday and the fifth is on October 12, though I'm not sure I should count that in round 1 of tests since that class only has two.

Why, yes, I did just go through the stylesheet to find the right color to make this text.


Rant: Can't. Stop. Sneezing.

Edit because I spam this thread too much: I'm sitting in class trying not to panic right now because of my throat problems. I was feeling really good for the first half of today, but then my throat started swelling up and drying out around three hours ago. This is probably my own fault for having the thought that maybe I was finally getting better. I can still breathe okay, but not nearly as well as I'd like.

I have two alarm clocks, one of which is a so-called body clock since it's supposed to wake people up naturally by gradually turning on a light. Sometimes I've been waking up to that before even hearing the alarm, but if I haven't slept enough, I don't remember anything about the light or the first alarm, I only wake up when my cellphone alarm goes off. I haven't used my regular alarm clock in a while. The body clock used to be a few minutes early but during the weekend I adjusted the time to match my cellphone. You'd think it would be a good thing I got 4 more minutes of sleep but I've been feeling more tired today and yesterday. Which might have something to do with finding Chobits on Youtube and staying up late to watch it. It was pretty funny how I was thinking Hideki was silly for leaving all the studying for last day before the test, then realizing I did exactly the same with some portfolio stuff. But at least it wasn't the whole project, just missing three pages. Surprise homework... that has only been announced in August.

I really do have a strong intuition. I dressed up rather nicely this morning, thinking 'something will happen that will make me feel crap, but at least I'll look good.', so a variation from the trousers suit was made... Then, first thing in the morning at work, we've been told that our appeal has failed and our branch will be closing. I just knew it. There are some legal proceedings regarding this on a national scale and the judgment will be handed down tomorrow but we have no hope. *shrugs* So yeah, I feel crap today but I look damn good. :roll:

I keep burning things. What's with that? I can usually cook reasonably well.

I feel like I've wasted the whole day. I didn't have school because it's the end of the period and the courses have reached the set number of lessons already, so I ended up sleeping until half past 1 pm. I've just been lazy all day.

And I hate my computer chair. It's too high and can't go any lower. Also the seat has some hard lumps that feel through the padding sometimes. Bolts or some other sort of connectors. And the seat is leaning to the side because of some manufacturing fault. My mom noticed it soon after it was bought but I didn't want to return it because it was the last one they had at the store. I've had it for years and sometimes I tolerate it better but in general it's a lousy piece of crap.

And I've been feeling like crap all day, most likely due to not eating properly.

Edit: For f---'s sake, now also this computer is banned from Newnet as a spam drone.

@ geyjspa: *huggles back* Thanks for making me feel better. :D I'll be ignoring the reference to lack of Cantr for now. :wink:
It's past my bedtime, and I am very surprised to be awake past 9pm! This phone I had for a little while would tell you the time remaining before the alarm was due to go off. I remember looking at it and usually seeing something like 5 hours 10 mins each time. Yay for 9 hours' sleep!
I now have 7 hours 53 mins before my alarm goes off, I'd better use it well. Night everybody. :)

Man, that's deep.
Didn't bring me to tears, but definitely hits home.

I was going to the Cantr homepage yesterday from phone just to look even though there wasn't much to look at.
Anyways, my phone has an autocorrect feature where as you type each character a list of possible things you might've been looking for, which includes from your history. As I kept typing "cantr.net" the only thing that showed up was the forum community. I had to type out the entire URL. Cantr II had disappeared from my browser history… :(

If it's real, I guess I'm a polygamist :shock: I'd better not let the wife read this essay. Makes me feel more justified in the decisions I made in the weeks before the attack, regarding how I play my characters.
