Wow….

Can’t believe it’s been 10 or so days since I last posted anything. I’ve always come home way too exhausted to do much of anything except sleep. And although I bring my laptop to school more often than not, I usually don’t update because there’s always people around and I hate writing stuff while they’re reading over my shoulder.

Incidentally, I am writing this on my laptop from school…but there’s no one around really. Well, no one walking around, reading over shoulders. Two guys are on laptops themselves, Farheen (the VP) is on another computer and Rashid (the President) is hanging out with another dude on the small table across the room. It’s really pretty quiet.

I don’t know where the rest of my friends are. I think they may be in class. Ah well, a little quiet time with myself never hurt me.

TALK OF THE DEVIL!!! A couple of my friends just walked in. Heh…so much for the peace and quiet I was talking about. I was gonna go for a long and random post but I think I won’t have time right now.

So…might elaborate on this later.

Thank God I Have Time to Kill….

This post isn’t gonna be as long as the one that got DELETED and LOST FOREVER.

Damned LJ.

But, I really wanted to update this.

First off:

We have a new resident lifeform in the student council office, where I hang out during my free time. It’s a tortoise that is now the property of Jayson. It’s a girl and, though I’m not quite sure of her full name, her nickname is BB. (I think her full name is something like Bluebelly?) She’s so friggin’ adorable and tiny! She’s smaller than the only other tortoise I know, Dexter, who was our pet in Lebanon. (My cousins told me he’s already mated and sired children!) I tried to count the rings on one of the plates on her shell and I guess she’s around two years old. She’s so cute! She’s definitely a nice distraction from the boredom that we experience so often at college. (There’s NOTHING to do…so now we just take BB out of her little plastic home and stare at her walking around on our hands or the table.) The only thing I’m worried about are less than ethical students wandering in the office, seeing her, and deciding to have some stupid sadistic fun. For some reason, some people think that animals can’t feel pain. That’s why we plan on trying to keep her out of sight when the more sane students are not around to make sure BB’s not bothered.

I took some pictures of her–I think I’ll Facebook them.

In other news, I went to the Landmark shopping center with Sarah and Nisreen today. It was fun! I didn’t have anything in mind to buy so I basically just ‘tagged along’. I just like hanging out with them. It was pretty cool, even though I don’t find shopping enjoyable in general. (I’ve even gone so far as to say I hate it with a passion). The thing is, when I’m around people I like, it’s enough to keep me happy no matter what I’m doing. The fact that I wasn’t looking for anything for myself added to that–I get stressed if there’s something I need to buy and I have to rummage through stacks of clothes to find it. And then try them on! Man, I really have to be in a particular mood or else I’ll just be very, very frustrated.

We hung out in the makeup store a lot. Not surprisingly, Sarah’s really got a thing for makeup. Also not surprisingly, she put some on me. (Mascara, eyeliner and blush. Even eyeshadow and lipgloss, but those came off pretty fast. Especially the lipgloss–I don’t really like the stuff. It makes my lips all heavy and sticky. It also doesn’t help that the lipgloss testers didn’t have disposable attachments–LE GERMS!)

Afterwards, we went and ate at a cafe. Their food’s pretty expensive, but it’s really good. I had this huge ravioli thing while Nireen had potato wedges and soup. Sarah had a beetroot chicken wrap and soup too. It was kinda funny that we ate there when there was a food court just downstairs–turns out that the food court doesn’t allow smoking while this cafe does. I’m really one of the very few non-smokers in my group of friends. The only ‘good’ it’s done me is that I no longer feel nauseous from prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke. In short, I’ve become quite used to it. I’m sure my lungs don’t appreciate it, but my stomach’s learned to cope.

In short, it was a nice day. I had more descriptions of certain things and stuff I was thinking about in the entry that got deleted, but this is the gist of it.

Now I gotta go eat.

???!!!

What…happened?

What happened to the freaking AutoSave? I thought that if windows closed or something that the entry would automatically be saved!

WHY DIDN’T IT DO THAT THIS TIME?!?!

I’m gonna freaking scream–I had a super-long entry and I was almost done with it when I don’t know WHAT happened and I got logged out! I didn’t even save it onto MS Word! (Even though the idea did occur to me when I was realizing how long the post was becoming.) Why the hell don’t I listen to my instincts?

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!

Bah!

I’m not feeling all that eager to go back to school tomorrow. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, really, except for the fact that I usually do like going to college—-if only to see my friends than anything else.

But I’m feeling quite blah at the moment. I’m also not too happy about the fact that I have an HR Managment assignment due tomorrow and I don’t have the assignment paper with me—-so, in essence, I have absolutely no idea what to do. I have e-mailed a classmate as well as my professor but have recieved absolutely zilch in terms of replies. This only adds to my feelings of security. Really.

I hope my prof is lenient enough on me…I actually went out of my way on Thursday to get my HR text and notebooks out of my too-far-away locker…and yet I still managed to forget my freaking binder which happens to have my assignment’s instructions in it. Sometimes I’m just bursting with brilliance…truly, I confess myself an ingenious person.

My room is boiling hot too…but if I turn the AC on, it’ll just make me freeze. Plus it’s so loud it makes me want to shoot it with a bazooka. Repeatedly. It’s a good thing you’re not here, Lana. If you walked into our room right now you’d probably think I was completely insane. After registering that thought, I could see you running and switching on the AC while making sure I knew in no uncertain terms that my penchant for heat is a mark of clear psychosis.

(Just to elaborate, Lana and I are polor opposites when it comes to what we deem as ‘hot’ and ‘cold’. She sleeps with one thin blanket (if she uses a blanket to begin with) while I’m quickly snuggling under a thick blanket as well as a heavy quilt. In the same room).

Anyways…at least I finished reading the three chapters I was supposed to read for my Business Communication course. (It’s the one I replaced my Essay-Writing course with). It’s going pretty well—-it’s also very easy so far. Blech, I feel pretty unchallenged. If I was in Concordia or Dawson I’d be crying for euthanization from the stress. But apparently Madi, a senior in high school, is suffering more than I am. In any case, I won’t complain about having an easy time at college. Heck, too much stress can really kill your brain–I speak from experience.

Well, now I’m really tired and I just want to sleep for a long, long while. Sometimes I get these unexplainable bouts of laziness…which makes me feel kinda guilty really. Anyways, I’ll cut this off before I ramble on even more incoherently.
