scheduling

today instead of "really" working, i drew up my schedule for the semester. when i have tests, projects, all that stuff due. so...i was thinking that it would be really fun to go to cleveland at fall break but now i'm not convinced anymore, because it's just allll busy. my room is never ever clean, or at least, it's always very very clothes-strewn. i need to go shopping cause half my stuff needs very specific complementary stuff that i don't own. or go to buffalo exchange? meanwhile this weekend has put a real damper on my prospects of getting a job. somehow i was really optimistic about it all until yesterday, before the career fair and mad4mex's gross jp morganitude...

determination

i've seen what my classes are. i've seen what the rain is. i am determined to succeed. i will wage daily battle against my foes until i come out on top with my best smile on.

specifically, propensity for melodrama, useless insecurities, and general lack of confidence in reality.

oooh

there's a new mike and jill up, which is really cute. go see it! i'm back in philly now, with this bizarre cough that i picked up maybe somehow on the several transcontinental flights i was on last week. it is so annoying. also a runny nose, and an ear infection which seems now to have spread to the other ear...and my outlook express works not at all. this past week or so, i've been trying to sort out the odds and ends which remain to my summer, before ALL these classes and job stuff lands on my head. i have therefore successfully cleaned out our house's refridgerator, sorted out to the point of near completion my bills and stuff, and won took out the nasty wooden contraption in my window, which makes my room look WAY bigger. still left undone: HUGEST laundry pile ever. i'd do it, but i have no quarters. also i haven't been going to the gym religiously. oops. but it's a good start, and so it is in my perpetually battle to regain the fervour and dynamism of former days. i think i'll institute a "no shoes" policy for my room. mm.
