No sleep+no food+caffine
Just pulled my first all-nighter for the year. ah its gonna be a long year. this time, i didnt end up sleeping at all. worked till 8am and laid down for about 45 min b4 i had to get up and get ready. Having drank 2 mugs of tea and then a huge mugful of Timmy's French vanilla, i was HYPER. i couldnt sit still at all! class was so painful. as soon as i stopped writing, i'd fall asleep, but when im writing, i was so antsy. i NEEDED to get up and do something. it was like i had ADD or soemthing. so very odd..but i guess thats what you get for not sleeping for 33hrs. such an interesting side effect :) at least my assignment was finished ::yea::
Hooked on "24" - the TV show now on DVD which i got off aaron.
SO ADDICTIVE
ive watched 4 episodes already and im so hooked. so dead. cuz after this, i can watch the 2nd season and the 1st season of "six feet under". man im gonna be so busy!
thats it, me tired. mebbe should sleep

Hot and HUMID!!
Going back to TO for the weekend. Hurricane Isabel is suppose to hit, rather, it's supposed to be pouring cats and dogs right about now so hopefully by the time i get back, the rain would've ceased and i'll have a nice, sunny weekend to enjoy. But as of now, while it is windy, it's also extremely humid. ew feeling so sticky. i'd rather it rain.
bringing back obscene amounts of food. hopefully to learn how to cook in the process...which means bugging my housemates. aha. the art of mooching ;)

UP AND RUNNING!!
and finally decided to sit down and type a nice, LONG blog instead of running off to bother one of my FIVE housemates (or going off to annoy one of the FOUR guys), or plain bumming around.
So what's new? EVERYTHING
Finished with ACTION!! FOREVER!whoohoo!!!! no more window cleaning and putting up with sucky people (until next summer anyways). While i gained a lot of practical experience running my own business, this is not the business i want to be in. so that sucked. but it's ok cuz im done now!
Classes have started. I've already decided that I wont be attending one of my classes. stupid econ prof. so boring, monotonous, lame. What is the point of teaching us stuff we already learned last yr?? OR teaching us the most simpliest things from a chapter? are you STUPID? go over stuff we DONT understand. oh who cares, i'll just read the book and harass the TAs. Which leads me to stupid people: apparently, there still are some around. Not to say that Im oh-so-smart such that i can look down on people. no no, im an idiot and those that know me know that. im talking about those that should -be-shot type of stupid. asking questions when you should already know the answer to cuz you MUST HAVE taken the pre-requisite course and therefore SHOULD NOT be asking these questions and prolonging the length of class time. read your damn book from last yr for crying out loud! OR listening is good too. Asking the prof go over an example TWICE, having JUST explained it TWO SECONDS ago is reason enough that you should be hanged. once again, prolonging class time.
Blah
onwards to house stuff.
Have to look after myself now. Setting up net, phone, paying bills, harassing landlord for minor/misc fixups (he'll HATE us by the time we're thru with him :). So after 1.5 agonizing weeks of NO NET, we finally had it installed last fri. "And you didnt update your blog??!! How COULD YOU!" I know i know, I've been...preoccupied. Hehehe...
So I'm going to be accessible only by my cell phone from now on - after i get it changed to Ktown's area code so people calling me don't get billed for longD. I know they love me, but perhaps, not to the extent of paying longD to talk to me ;)
No more fattening rez food...actually, no food at all. The extent of my "cooking" involves hacking up hot dogs and throwing them into instant noodles. haha. That's ok, i'll be bringing back massive amounts of food when i go back this weekend: all either frozen, marinated, or perishable items that must be consumed immediately (mmm nutella)
Stupid landlord and his coin operated washing machine. WTH?? What makes you think we have coins lying around to do laundry?? If we had any, you can be sure we'd let the cafeteria gyp us instead by luring us to those vending machines. So anyways, we are currently trying to learn how to scam the landlord of laundry money. We've tried popsicle sticks but they didn't work so we're moving onto: fake money, coins on a string. The machine makes funny noises, something along the lines of crazy, monkey sex. Very squeaky, very disturbing.
Getting used to: my housemates (esp. the two living besides me) making random noises at odd hours of the day.
RANT
originally, i had more things to rant about, but well..two weeks w/o net so i've forgotten some stuff. Here goes,
I never really noticed it last yr when i was on campus..but man, it sucks being female. Here's why:
Walking home alone is not an option. The freaks come out at night and unless you with them, that club is pretty exclusive. As much as i appreciate my friends always walking me home, it sucks that i cant wander around freely at night...not unless you want some stranger coming up to you and offering you candy. It also doesn't help that the place i live has some pretty sketchy alleyways. There's actually a sign (or mebbe it was spray painted, cant member) that says "quiet entrance". How sketchy is THAT?? If it's a quiet entrance, then logically, it's also a quiet EXIT. "Hey buddy, ya so just take the dead dude out the quiet exit". yeaa....of course then there's also townies. *shudders* scary, freaky townies.
See, guys dont have this problem. You dont see them calling walk-home (or maybe theyre too proud), but the point is they dont need it. After walking me home, my friend (alone) can just walk home. At 3AM. and you know he'll get home perfectly safely..while females on the other hand..well, you just never read about guys getting "violated" by girls, and really now theyve got nothing to lose (at this point im just bitter so no, im not sexist).
and there's nothing i can do about it. not even the girls that "skankify" themselves deserve this inequality. so dammit, i'll have to keep relying on the good nature of my "boiz" to walk me home, and when they get good and fed up with me (for living so far away), i'll resort to the walk-home service.
