Full morning

OSU Bomb Threat

Well that was certainly excitement enough.  Our building was not affected so we were not evacuated...so we were stuck in that room taking our Biostat 2 exam. Lemme tell ya, that was NOTTTTT a fun exam, AT ALL.

There are two questions I am really upset about because I think I may have done them wrong due to my interpretation of the question.  That's the problem with word problems, it makes stats complicated because calculations depend on the nature of the question. Yeah. I'll see how it goes, I will probably have to go to talk to the professor and defend my reasoning for the question.  Although, I should have probably written a note on the exam...but I didn't have the time to do so.  We'll see. I hope it didn't go terribly bad.

THEN, we barely got a break when we got to dive into our Case Study. A lot of quick thinking and problem solving.  But, the last part of the Case Study was fun because we got to design a study.  Which is good that I enjoyed that because that will be what my future career will have as well.

Hmm...now, I should be working on a Study Design but it took a while to even start it because it's starting from scratch, including the exposure and the disease...We'll see how it goes, I've already changed my topic like twice...I'm sort of tired of schoolwork by now though. My brain is tired. Plenty of work to get done this week!

On the upside:
Bomb threat turned up empty, I have no class tomorrow, and dinner party Friday!

lonely moments

sometimes I feel like I've wasted so much time and for what? not productivity and not for fun...

sometimes I feel lonely and insignificant

I know I'm not but sometimes it's easy to feel it

I hope its a better day after I sleep

LOTS OF FOOD.

So this past Thursday some of us went to Thurman's café and it was DELICIOUS! we walked around while we waited for our Take-out to be ready because there was going to be a one hour wait to even be seated.  There were no drinks so we just ate it without any...on the bench outside.  It was AWESOME. and MESSY. I had like bleu cheese sauce on my face periodically and it was a hassle getting it off.  My hands were drenched and so were my chips.  Everything was so yummy! the mess was worth it.

Then I went to Vanessa's.
It was fun.
made yummy funnel cakes (fluffy and delicious!)
worked on our project (wall decor that turned out beautifully)
went for a ride in her dad's new BMW Z4 (so smooth!)
ate yummy pumpkin icecream.

That was a really, really fun day.

Friday I didn't do much apart from the review session.  I actually didn't feel that great for a lot of the weekend, certain it is stress/anxiety related. Saturday was relatively uneventful, it also forced me to nap because I felt icky. But, in the evening, after some homework/studying I went to watch Morning Glory w/ Angeline.  At Wal-Mart there was a drugbust! with sniffer german shepherd dogs, and lots of cop cars! and handcuffs! probably the most exciting thing we've seen in a while here...haha.  The movie was good.  Then we went to Wal-Mart.

We attempted to burn DVDs she needed for her advisor but it turned out my laptop can't burn DVDs. So...so much for that.

Eeeh.

I need to study more.
I need to eventually find a job.
I need to learn to manage money better, not that I'm terrible at it so far...
Hm, I keep adding to my wish-list.

I can't wait for next weekend! Josh visits :) and the thanksgiving dinner party here! hooray!

Halloween Weekend

So on Friday I went out for the SPH Halloween party at Park Street Saloon.  May came over and I made us dinner, we went over some homework, and got ready together! I was a fairy and she was little red riding hood.

Fairy was very appropriate. And the hair turned out great! and fast.

We got there without a problem and without a GPS but then we couldn't find parking...we gave up and decided to valet.

Drinks were good, music was amusing (piano player), costumes were fun, and it was more expensive of a night than anticipated.  Definitely felt it later, especially when I got home and sat in my roommate's room on the floor just blabbering.

Saturday morning...made eggs, panfried toast, etc.  Did biostats like a crazy person and finished early ish in the day.  Then went to Easton to visit Vanessa, bought True Religion fragrance that I have been wanting for WEEKS because it was a huuuuge giveaway of gifts with purchase and I ended up with a lot of bonus gifts! that will become Christmas gifts for some.  Which is a really good deal, cus all this stuff is normally really expensive...I mean the fragrance IS expensive.  Then Robby took us out to Sushi and Will met us there.  Amazing food. Then went to Fado Irish Pub.  Fun evening. Drove home. was tired.

Sunday...spent some time working on homework...then the smoke detector kept beeping and annoying us.  Eventually figured out the battery is dead, but neither of us can reach it because the ceiling is tall...and we did not have batteries.  Quarry eventually came and fixed it, right before I left for Pistacia Vera in German Village to meet with Vanessa and her parents.  Pastries were DELICIOUS. Expensive, but DELICIOUS. They were very sweet and treated me to some very sweet treats. Yes, and a double-shot expresso cappuccino.  Which right after departure made me feel really crazy and made driving on 670 home fun...and made me overwhelming once I walked into the apartment as I blabbered and paced around.  It did help me get through putting 19 albums on CDs (Discography for Chemical Brothers & Crystal Method) for Josh in time for his Backpacking trip this weekend.  THEN I worked on my presentation in Diarrhoeal Diseases...for a long time...then I crashed.  Caffeine works. Too well.

I have my appointment for my Naturalization Oath this Friday. Will be home for the weekend, but until then there is A LOT I need to get done. A lot. More caffeine? bring it.
