Vote Tom Suozzi for governor

So I'm a bit bitter this evening. I finally finished my religion paper that was due a week ago. By finished, I mean that I came up with the most random excuse for a thesis ever, and didn't even bother trying to tie my points in with it. I argued nothing. Come to think of it, I may have stopped writing midsentence several times. I couldn't bother proofreading. So I went to hand it in tonight and the building was locked. So 9% it is... I still can't be bothered proofreading though.

To reward myself for finally finishing the thing, and to give myself some motivation for the other paper that I have to complete tonight, I had every intention of buying my physically-ninja-white-sister-friend and me some ice cream on the way back home, only to find out that the good flavours were gone. A bit upsetting, I must say. I'm not quite sure what made me want to buy ice cream though, since I ate the amount of dinner tonight that the average family of four would go through in a week.

I discovered a brand new freckle on my abdomen the other day. It was an exciting time for me, I can't lie.

I can't believe the door was locked. They can't lock Theological Hall! There's a chapel in there. The doors to the Lord should always be left open.

March is fraud prevention month

I seriously have to be lacking something in my diet.

Upon grocery shopping on the weekend, my housemate and I decided to buy some fruit. This is a normal occurance and should not be alarming, and we thought that a fruit salad would be nice to switch things up a bit. Again, normal. So we walked through the store and found ourselves some oranges, apples, melons and strawberries. Sunday morning, we went to town cutting it all up into a giant bowl. And I mean giant. There were four apples, two oranges, two melons and a pound of strawberries. Most people would have looked at the bowl and said, "No way, man, too much fruit for me." We, however, ate it all in less than 36 hours. And now I'm having sudden cravings for vegetables... it's all just too random for me.


Oh, and as a side note, the low-blow game has been reinstated. It's just not possible for us to be nice to everyone all the time. The average person is just too annoying.

I need a raincoat

The rain these past few days has left me feeling gloomy. I'm glad that it's getting warmer (although the cold seems to be coming back), but I wish it could be sunny again. I'm already thinking of going on a trip to the Dominican Republic for next reading week with my housemate and our boyfriends, but I'm starting to think that it's not exactly a good idea since my recent trip has left me depressed-like since I had to come back to school and gross weather. On the other hand, next year I won't be coming back to school, I'll be coming back to my consolidation... which also leaves me grumpy these days since I still don't know what I want to do for that. And I think I'm running out of time to decide.

I'm also starting to become concerned these days about a job for the summer. I was counting on not working at all, with the whole Europe trip planned, but now with the cancellation, I'm left with a summer of nothing. I don't particularly want to go back to work at the nursing home, so I have nothing. My mom told me that she'd see if my family doctor would hire me, which would be pretty nice, but I'm not going to count on that.

That's my update. Lovely and exciting.

Always remember to watch out for the orange jug.

Sunflower seeds or coconut drink?

Well I got back the other day from an incredible trip to Costa Rica. I'd post some pictures, but basically I just don't know how. That and I can't particularly be bothered. I decided that I like vacation much more than I enjoy school. I officially hate it here, I think. Maybe it's just the cold talking, but I doubt it.

In other news, all of that trouble and I'm officially not going on my Contiki camping tour to Europe this summer. We had it all booked and everything, and then Contiki cancelled it because there weren't enough people signed up. We were given the option of going on the next available trip, but it wasn't guaranteed to go either, and now we're just frustrated and can't be bothered dealing with Anna anymore. Honestly, most of our frustration comes from her. It sounds unfair, but we can't help it.

I start my mental health rotation tomorrow, and I'm not exactly looking forward to it. Tomorrow is just orientation, but I think it's going to end up going all day. I have an assignment that was due on Monday that I haven't started yet, so I don't really know when I'm going to get that done and hand it in. I have another assignment due Friday and a midterm that day as well, followed by a meeting for a group presentation on Monday and another assignment due, as well as an evaluation for my last clinical rotation. Life in Kingston is just wonderful. Shoot me now, or send me back to Costa Rica.
