last day in rochester

it was another rather late night last night. ended up staying up until around 5 am. strangely enough, i woke up without an alarm around 8:30, took a shower, packed up a few things and then went upstairs to hang out. studied some for my last final (psychology), got lunch, watched the big bang theory (which by the way, is my new favorite tv show). dad came around 4:50 right as i was getting ready to head over to the final. i actually finished the test before it was supposed to even start. ive gotten in the habit of going to class at least 30 minutes before to look over stuff all quarter and so he let me take the exam early. went over to the ritz for dinner and then moved most of my stuff out to the car. wandered back upstairs and ended up going out to fridays with matt and ozzy for dinner except i didn't eat dinner twice so i played peggle instead which is a pretty awesome game with quite possibly the best sound effects ever especially when hooked up to a car stereo. came back here, hung around and such and now i'm just finishing pulling the last few things together before maybe hopefully going to bed at a semi decent hour? but it's already past 2 am so that's not really looking very likely anymore. as long as i'm not sleeping, i made it to stage 5-3 (only matt & ozzy will understand that if they ever run across this...).

mmm yeah, so bye bye rochester see you in a month or so :) 

because we just can't have it any other way

fire alarm went off at 3:40 in the morning that was a nice surprise... not. especially because i had just spent over 3.5 hours attempting to fall asleep and didn't succeed until a little after 3 am. woke up completely disoriented, somehow managed to find a sweatshirt i guess and went outside. came back in and proceeded to spend another hour trying to fall back asleep.

lovely. sleep is overrated apparently.

leaving on a jet plane

i'm pretty okay with life as it is. i'm not entirely sure about the whole packing up my life yet again and moving. guess we'll see when we get there. i'm really looking forward to getting home and relaxing for a while but at the same time everything seems to be falling into place here. that's just how it works sometimes.

anyway, it's around one in the morning now and i've been laying in bed for almost two hours unable to fall asleep. that's been happening an awful lot lately. yesterday i realized that i had only slept for around eight and a half hours in the past sixty. whoops. i'll wait until summer to catch up.

our room is so ridiculously depressing looking, there is nothing on the walls anymore, the desks are mostly empty and everything is packed up in bags. i've been spending as little time in here as possible.

tomorrow is my last day of work for the year. no finals tomorrow so the afternoon looks pretty open which is excellent for hanging out with people. done with three of my four finals, sunday was probably the most stressful day. mostly due to my enormously bad luck and getting locked out of our dorm room for 2 hours while we waited for public safety to come. of course, everything always turns out in the end and i managed to get everything done so no complaints there.

dear self

dear self,

it's okay to sleep past 6 am especially when you went to bed at 3 am and don't have a final until 9 am. apparently that's just not possible, is it? the sun doesn't always mean it's time to get up, listen to that handy dandy alarm clock. please and thank you. 

sincerely,

me

dear weather,

33 degrees this morning? seriously. that's wonderful that you realize that i don't like heat but I already packed away my winter coat so could we perhaps keep it around 50 degrees? that seems rather reasonable.

sincerely,

the girl who doesn't feel like wearing a coat anymore

oy with the poodles already

don't take it personally if i haven't responded to emails, texts, phone calls, IMs, etc for the past week. it's been rather busy and to be honest i haven't really been around my computer that much. and when i am it's for like 2 seconds before i decide that i would rather sleep than check my email. 

i have 2 projects to get to the printer before they close tonight... due tomorrow at 9 am. 

tough

it's been kind of a rough quarter.

worth reading.
