Once again, I have been bad about posting. Forgive me.

I’m sick. Blah. I have a sinus infection. The doctor gave me amoxicillin, but it did no good, so I had to get a serious antibiotic, Biaxin. That, with the decongestant and ear medicine she prescribed came to about $180. That’s a lot of money. I need to get over this, though. I feel like I’ve been ran over by a truck at the present moment. It might be because I slept so late this morning (nearly noon), or it might be the infection. Or it might be because I’m just plain lazy.

I finished what I think is my longest paper ever on Monday night. 16 pages. That’s a lot of writing. It was about a crooked cop and two theories which might explain his actions. It wasn’t a bad paper, I don’t think. I’m glad to have it done. I’ve been getting good grades on everything I’ve done, all As, so that’s all good. I haven’t seen much of those people I call “friends” lately. I miss them.

Craig (from WV) and Julie (from Canadia) were here this weekend so Julie could look for a wedding dress. Once again, let me express my extreme adoration for Julie. I’m so happy that Craig found someone that really deserves him, and that he really deserves. Julie is so cool. I think she has so much in common with both Aimee and I, and even Jay. I couldn’t have handpicked Craig a better match. Hehe. She’s so friendly and nice, and at the same time cool in a way I dig. Yay for Craig! Craig spent so much of his life looking the wrong direction for someone special, but finally he honed in on what was right for him, and vice versa. We introduced Craig to Indian food on Saturday night, and I think he liked it. He was confused, and didn’t know what anything was called, but he liked the deep fried thing with tasty mush inside, as well as the flat crispy things you dipped in stuff, to name a few. We’re expanding his horizons.

Ok, I could just ask Nathan this directly, but did you ever see how Stanley was a lot like you in Going Postal? I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the book.

I really should finish reading for class now. I register for next semester on Monday. My group of Social Work friends and I have become co-dependent, and are all trying to get into the same sections of classes. I like them a lot, and outside of Jay, they’re my only regular social contacts. We’re all dorks. But that’s ok.

Yes, I know the images don’t work (for those of you reading the blogspot version). My webmaster who kindly hosts my site for free is having network issues.

Things have calmed down a bit since my last post. I dropped my Wednesday hours, so that gives me an entire day to study and whatnot. I feel a lot better having that day free (well, I have class at night, but the day’s free. And I can sleep as late as I want, barring an appointment or something.) Tonight I had a test in my research class. 100 questions. I think I did ok. And if I didn’t, it’s ok, the professors are all really eager to make sure you learn and know the material, so they give you chances to correct or make up for what you missed.

I had some free time last week, so I bought Terry Pratchett’s new book Going Postal. It came SIGNED! I was so happy. Well, at first I was sad, because I thought he’d come to Jo-Beth and I didn’t know about it, but I asked up front and they said it came from the publisher that way. SIGNED PRATCHETT! Aww, yeah. I swear that the character of Stanley is directly modeled off of Nathan.

Happy birthday on Thursday to Miss Nicole. She’s old like me.

I had a presentation to do in my professions class on Monday. I did it on the history of stigma of mental illness. I had a really neat PowerPoint that I played before I did my presentation. Watch it here. (hosted kindly by Ben.) Well, I thought it was cool, at least. It was a chance to use my advertising expertise a little bit. It should advance on its own, if you watch it.

I went to a training that we gave in Louisville for work last week. That was kinda neat. I learned all about bioterrorism and how to treat victims. Well, not all about it, but some about it. Hehe. On the way there my brake light came on, and it’s been going off and on since then. I really should look into getting that fixed. Ben says I can do it myself. Hmm. (I’m talking to him as I type this.)

SO anyhow, in much better spirits this week than last, not too overly stressed. I had a ten page paper due on Tuesday (ok, it was actually 13, but you get the picture.) A big ol’ test tonight. A ten page paper due last week. A five page midterm due Monday. A two page paper and a five page paper due next Monday. I can do it! GO TEAM!

Excuse me, I think I’m going crazy. ?
