Mwah... Today was alternately awesome and le suck last of classes today. woohoo. Going to African was like... what it must feel like to attend church. Motivational, beautiful... making one aware simultaneously of oneself and every single living thing around. Regret, sadness... but hope, perhaps, for the future. God I love that class. It's over now (just the final) but that has really reaffirmed my desire for an African Studies certificate. This was followed by working. Not bad. I hauled 3,500 lbs of bricks, though. Literally. They were on a... forklift (the kind you pull, not drive. pity). So I heave and yank and pull so hard that I think blood almost burst from my fingertips (not quite) and I move it........ about half a foot. Yeah, I feel like a weakling, but some random cool dude showed up from nowhere and helped push them so that I got them to the freight elevator. I got them on all right but the elevator (which is slow as it is) was creaking and groaning like never before, and I was seriously afraid I was going to break the thing. It said it could hold up to 8,000 lbs so I shouldn't have been worried, but I was. PLUS then when I tried to get off, the tires 'fell' into the inch wide groove between the sixth floor and the floor of the elevator. And thusly would not be moved. Again, luckily, someone showed up to save the day (I'm pretty sure both these guys were professors). Anyway, he wanted on the freight elevator so he had to help me or he would have never gotten on. We ended up having to remove the forklift, lift it over the stack of bricks, and apply it to the other side to get the darn things moving. And Peter showed up to help (the T., not the H.) so that was like yay. there is, however a slight incline (10degrees? 15 tops, I think. I'll have to check tomorrow) in the hallway leading to the lab. Gravity of course took over, and I narrowly avoided a) being run over and b) ripping a huge hole in the far wall. ye gods, that was fun. But my back hurts (from trying to pull by myself). This was complicated by a migraine, which had developed this morning as a result of the incessant hammering of the broken heater in the hallway. After work, there was the physics humor colloquiem. 2 hours of free pizza, beer (well, I drank water. but beer was there, and consumed by others in plenty), and INCREDIBLE humor. But also lots of loud noise, which only served to make my migraine horribly worse. By the time it was over I was a wraith of agony. I was also thirsty, so during intermission I went to find something to drink only to discover that the only thing left was sparkling water, raspberry flavored. I hate raspberry but ah, well. I figured I would suffer through it. I seemed to have forgotten, however, that sparkling water is a euphemism for 'shitty liquid that tastes like dust and burns your throat,' and raspberry flavored actually means raspberry scented. So yeah, I drank it anyway, and after the colloquiem I slumped home. There was a moment of sheer peace, when the drifting snow brought silence into the world, and the lights were muted by the night and shadows fell across me and I was quiet and alone and cool and perfect, as if adrift in the womb. It almost cured my migraine. Almost. Not quite. And by the time I got back to the dorm, it had returned in full force. So I wrote 'Migraine: go the fuck away' on the door, chased out Louise ( :( ), turned off the lights, took two sinus tylenol and went to sleep. for three hours. when I woke up I was better, mostly, but ye GODS that stupid banging thing was still banging. I wanted to take the baseball bat and kill it. grargh. the house fellow assures me they're working on it and I can't blame her if it's not fixed yet. ach. Then I proceeded to do nothing for another two hours, apparently. I don't know how that happened. maybe I spent more time reading Black Cat than I originally thought. Ah well. bed for now. Tomorrow I get to declare my astrophysics major and my african studies certificate, and then see my honors advisor, and then at last go back to work. oh yeah, and maybe I should study for physics final one of these days. it's nice to have classes over. *skips off* Good luck on finals, everyone. |

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |
