It must be the allergy medicine. Last night I fell asleep at 6 pm, woke up at 9:30 pm, then went back to sleep some time around 11:30 pm, and slept til 7:30 am. How many hours is that? Probably too many. The baby is still kind of sick and out of sorts as well, so we're both just lounging. Eventually we'll venture all the way out to the front yard to play in the sprinklers. I don't even have the energy to bring her down to the beach.

School is draining me and it hasn't even begun. But instead of trying to fix it, I dwell. I will always dwell. I just told a friend to stop dwelling and speculating, and it's all I ever do. Why can't I ever just follow my own damn advice...

I really don't know any way to say this without sounding lame and msuhy, but God, I love my friends. Instead of just looking forward to the next time I can see them, I dwell on the fact that most of them have graduated, and weekends at UConn will never be the same.

Are we seeing a pattern here?

My goal is to see how many books I can read while on vacation, (and during camping).

Randomly:

I feel bad for Michael Jackson. The more TV specials and YouTube videos I watch, the more I begin to think he was a wacked out guy who did absolutely nothing wrong. I think he was just so screwed up from a screwed up childhood, he just wanted to live a life he didn't get to have when he was younger. Regardless of all that, I find this truly amazing...

"Michael Jackson is back on top of the Billboard charts.

Billboard says albums by the pop singer who died suddenly last week at the age of 50 will occupy nine of the top 10 spots on the Top Pop Catalog Album chart being released on Wednesday."

That's ridiculous. Creep or not a creep, no one else could do that.

I'd rather watch MJ coverage than J&K + 8 coverage, because I get angry thinking about those poor kids...

It took me freakin' forever, but I finished book #1 for the summer, My Sister's Keeper, and I'm almost done with Twilight. Then it's on to The Memory Keeper's Daughter and the rest of the Twilight series.

I have so much to do tomorrow-clean, reorganize and straighten up this room, and literally drag my butt to the gym for the first time in over a week. Ugh.

Maybe it's time for a proper update.

I locked myself out of my car today. Good thing Gina was around to pick me up. I don't know what I would do without her.

Doctor today. I'm completely healthy, minus the weight issue and the constant fatigue. So, until after the blood test tomorrow, I'm just fat and lazy. As much as it would suck to have a medical issue, the one plus side to a low thyroid problem or something of that sort would be that there's a reason I'm over weight and can fall asleep anywhere. As bad as it sounds...maybe it wouldn't suck to have a medical reason for being so lethargic all the time...because then I'd feel like it's not really my fault that I'm exhausted ALL the time and hate the gym. Oh well.

I'm hitting the point in the summer where I want to go back to school. I'm nervous as per usual about next year, and I'm nervous because Nate won't be there to help me anymore, but I'm also excited. Last year was a mess, between KKPsi crap and Neag apps, but when I got my Dean's List letter, it was kind of worth it.

I just wish I didn't have to apply for more loans. I hate the whole process. My father is impossible to deal with. I seriously need to hit the lottery, pronto. Maybe going on a week-long vacation this year wasn't the smartest idea, but I'm overly excited about it. I need the beach.

I need more routine in my life, but it's almost impossible since my week isn't very consistent.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, babysitting 9-5 or so.
Thursdays off.
Friday and Saturday at Edible. If they schedule me. Buh.

In completely unrelated news, this whole North Korea thing scares the crap out of me. No matter what anybody says about how it won't happen. It's still scary.

It's only 9:02 and I have nothing to do. Buh.

Babysitting today/now. At least it was nice enough to go to the Point and the beach.
I was going to write a full blown entry, but I'm suddenly incredibly exhausted.

Here's a long(er) post for Kristin to have something to read.

I am the follow things right now:

2 pounds lighter.
On the Spring 2009 Dean's List.
Broke. Really. I have about $30 to my name and won't get any money til next week.
A few shades darker, the sun being out was nice for once. Too bad it's going to rain from tomorrow until doomsday.
Almost done with Physics. Class tomorrow, exam Monday, done.
SO excited for my birthday party. It's 2 weeks late, but who cares? I'm glad that some UConn folks are going to make it down, I miss them a lot. And we're going on 3 years of celebrating my birthday at Wild Wings, so I think I've officially established a tradition.
Pretty content right now.

(Kristin, I really have nothing else to talk about.)

Stay tuned for possible party stories after Friday.

I just did something very unlike me.
I went shopping. And it made me HAPPY.
I'm so pumped for Friday. I should start writing more. For all my adoring fans out there...ha.
