I swear I am trying to be productive. I remembered the flickr uploads, but decided I could wait. I worked on my program for a bit and now I am bored. I’m actually quite tired even though I got over five hours of sleep. That is good for me. However, I have broken out the Vault and all is well. Well, almost.

The two guys sitting at the table next to me are kind of getting annoying. I am listening to streamingsoundtracks.com, but I can still here everything they say, including the stuff they are trying to whisper. I do believe they suck at whispering.

I’m going to try and spend a fair amount of time tomorrow and Friday working on my programming assignment. What really bites is that I am going to need to finish my next assignments by next Friday due to the fact that I will miss at least two days of coding time by being on the road. Argh. Good gawd my inbox is going to explode while I am away.

In other news, in less than two weeks Josh and I will be celebrating our 7th anniversary. We may just go and get us some Chinese food to celebrate. We’ll be out of town, so I’m not expecting us to do much. Maybe I’ll get to hit up a yarn shop or two. PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE Josh. Traditionally, the seventh year anniversary gift is supposed to be wool or copper. I really don’t need a desk set, so we’ll just skip the modern gift idea from that list!

Someone remind me to upload all of the pictures I have on my laptop. I’m being lazy and don’t feel like dragging it out of my backpack to do it. I can just do it tomorrow before class. I know I should be working on my program, but will I REALLY do it in the morning? Chances are, no.

I’m singing “Procrastination” to the tune of that Carly Simon song, “Anticipation”. I’m really procrastinating. I have homework to do, but I don’t want to get started. I’m feeling a little dizzy, yeah, that’s it. I’m dizzy. Honestly I am. I need to eat something but I don’t think that is the ultimate problem.

Anywho. I went on a mini shopping spree with my mother again. I bought 5 new cardigans, a mohair sweater, and a cashmere sweater. $17 for everything. I’m a really good shopper (and I got a student discount). I needed cardigans and the sweaters were 50% off, so I got them. I put the mohair one on and started sweating within 20 seconds, literally. That reminds me. Shalyn has taken to saying literally quite often. It was funny to hear her say it.

OK, I shall go and at least plug in my laptop. I must make an effort. The homework isn’t all that hard. It just requires me to think a little more than I feel like doing.

I’m waiting. Class doesn’t start until noon, but I am here. I’m also not feeling very well. I’ve got whatever Josh had. I took some medicine for the aches, but it isn’t doing any good. Boo.

I had been hoping for a bit of peace and quiet, but a crowd of orientation folks just came in and they are standing in the lobby, being noisey. Can’t they use their inside voice? Sheesh. I’m just cranky because I’m sick, people are going to have to deal with me.

I am dreading this class. It is the lab for another class and is only 50 minutes long. It is my only class today. I had intended on studying but that isn’t going to work. So… that is how my day is going. Oh, I should add that it is supposed to rain this afternoon, on my way home. Lovely! I feel like such an Eeyore today.

I remembered my towel today, did you?

Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange? I’m still not sure how I feel about this. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out. Apparently Helen McCrory (originally cast) has gotten pregnant and can’t continue filming.

Can’t comment on LOST… but WTF… I’m trying to avoid the online game, because I get too obsessed and I really should be studying right now.

So tonight they will announce the winner of American Idol. Why do I care? Well, I don’t! You know why? Because it is a freakin two hour season finale of Lost tonight! It is going to be way past my bedtime, but I have to watch! I could record it and watch it in the morning, but… Nahhhh.

Anyone play with Google Notebook yet? I’m hoping to later. I have been using Google Calendar more often, though I don’t think it has made me any more organized.

I believe it is still orientation time, but since I got here a little earlier, there are less people looking lost. Maybe they aren’t out and about because it is raining off and on. Either way, I’m in my safe place, so I am not worried.

World Wide Knit In Public Day is coming up. Go figure I will more than likely be out of town that weekend.

I think I need to get a sign and a tip jar. I am sitting here trying to read and people keep asking me for directions. I had forgotten that this week is orientation week! You can tell who they are by the little yellow bags with all of their goodies. Even the parents have one. For fudges sake. I just gave directions to some guy and his kid and the dad just acted like I was supposed to do it. Dumb f**k, do I look like I am wearing a badge that says orientation services on it?

In happier news, I got a Vault! I just wasn’t in the mood to search. I just went to the student union and got one.

OK, that’s it. I’m leaving this spot. I can’t keep giving directions. Gah.

I’m lost. I can’t find a damn Vault Zero anywhere on this side of campus. I managed to find my brother on campus, but no vault zero. I may have to pray that there is one waiting for me in the student union after class. That is of course if I make it through my first class. I am about to fall asleep right now and it doesn’t help that my cell phone battery has the lifespan of bug hovering on the highway. Arghhh. I turned it off so that I would have some life in it this evening.

It’s so bad, but I can’t stop watching it. We watched 10.5 two years ago and now I find myself watching 10.5: Apocalypse. What is wrong with me?

The cat’s nails have been done. She’s very depressed about this. You’d think she’d be showing them off to everyone but she is currently sulking in the corner.

Anyhow, I’m off to go kill a few brain cells watching this show. Maybe it will put me to sleep. Considering I have to be up in about seven hours, it would be welcome.
