This Was A Good First Week
I actually finished my homework tonight two days before it is due. I’m amazed. Now, if I could get the readings down…
All the SOPi rush events are done. My interview was tonight and I hope I didn’t scare any of them away. I really hate interviews. They make me all nervous and I never say the right things because I feel so put on the spot.
The first week of school went by pretty alright. I’m trying to do better with everything in terms of reading, attending classes, and exercising. I’m also trying to refrain from eating late at night.
I feel as if I’m moving in the direction of someone that I could potentially like better. If I can get my study habits together and myself finally together, I think I’d be happy.
I’m still a little bummed out about this weekend, but I’ll get over it. I usually do. Or at least I hope I will. Or maybe because I’ll keep it in, it will sit and stew until the next thing comes and I’ll blow up in somebody’s face. But I mean, do I really want to make this that big a deal? I think the one that hurt me the most was NL who could have easily come over to help, but when I called, he was on his way to the gym. The rest at least had some valid excuses. Maybe I’m just making too big a deal. But maybe that’s saying something because this wasn’t something that I was taking very lightly at all. Harmless or not, I hate bugs. I despise them; I loathe them; I don’t want them near me. So of course, I panicked. And no one came to help. At least the ones that I reached out to that could have been of some help and wouldn’t have had to drive an hour to get to me.
EC is back and we have to plan something for this weekend. One possibility is our joining his friends on their camping trip for a night (EC wants to leave his weekend relatively open for work), but I don’t know yet. After SB, I’ve been so self-conscious about what I do when I sleep at night, so I’m unsure if I want to do this camping thing. (SB always complained about my snoring) I don’t know if I want to go back home this weekend either. The sisters of SOPi will let me know Friday/Saturday night (at midnight) whether or not they’ll extend a bid to me. They’ll either call me or deliver it to me, depending on where I’m at. I haven’t been at home in a while and it would be nice to go back. Or maybe I could just go back on Saturday morning after I’ve received the news from the sisters. I wouldn’t mind taking a morning trip. That means I’d have to pack less, right?
I’ll sleep on it and think for a bit.

This Was One Long Week
And can you believe it’s only Wednesday? I’m tired. I’m pooped out.
Monday’s activities wiped me out as well as Tuesday’s. I haven’t caught up on sleep since I had no time yesterday and I couldn’t fall asleep today due to the pills.
Tuesday was crazy. I left the apartment around 7:50am and returned around 10:15pm. I had my PE class, then my Social Welfare class, then some errands, the first visit for a toric lens study, then work. I would’ve gotten home an hour earlier, but as I was getting off of work, I ran into JL and NL and hung out with them a bit.
I felt a little left out though because they had all these inside jokes between them and I couldn’t really fit in anywhere. It’s been too long since I’ve spent time with them and it was a little difficult for me I suppose. I wish I could, but NL is busy studying for his MCATs and JL’s got his schoolwork and girlfriend to spend time with. I see JL though on Sundays when we go to church, but that’s about it.
Today was a bit less tiring, but since I haven’t slept too much in the last few days, I’m tired. I want to sleep, but I think there may be a possibility of my seeing Asian Dude later, so I want to be awake and alert.
Tomorrow will be another long day since I’ve got work. I really want them to find someone new. I had a friend come into the store, but since she didn’t mention me and I wasn’t there, they told her that they weren’t hiring. I will have to make next week my last week though because after that, I have midterms and I need the time to study, not work. I just wish they were doing something about it. Or maybe they are and I just don’t see it because I’m not there a lot.
I’m tired and sleepy. Maybe some coffee would be good or a quick shower. Ideally, sleep would be good, but can’t… not yet anyway.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I failed this morning. Today in our fitness class, we had to determine what our max lifting was for a particular exercise. There were quite a few, but of the exercises that I chose for my workout, only one was on the max test: pull ups. Now for the last six weeks, I had been doing the assisted pull ups, the ones that will push you up depending on the weight you choose. The heavier the weight, the more it will push you up. The lighter the weight, the harder you have to work.
So my first max test was at 30 pounds. That was about… four weeks ago? I was really hoping to do one pull up today, just one, unassisted, but I couldn’t. I failed. I don’t know if I could have done better because the machine has a default weight of 20 pounds, so I wrote that down as my max.
It’s okay though. I have my next fitness class starting next week and soon, you shall see, I will conquer that damn bar!
