Well, here I am again. Woohoo!!
Finals are finished and over with... I am so happy about that, although I'm not happy about the fact that I'm snowed in today without Jarrod (he's at work). Yep, you heard right. Snowed in. People are around, so I'm not the only one snowed in in this apartment complex, but still. I wish I could go somewhere. I can always walk into town if I so desire, but it's cold and snowy (obviously, haha) and I am tired, just trying to keep myself awake.
Today is going so slowly. I can't believe that it's only 10:30am. I got up at 6 because I couldn't sleep any longer, and it's just been "one of those days" so far - so slow. The landlord was supposed to come to fix the heat in our bedroom at 9, but he hasn't showed up yet. I'm pretty sure that he's around, though. I just don't know where. Somewhere doing something in the complex, I'm pretty sure. Just not here. Heh.
So finals are done. I'm not sure how I did on them, but I'm so glad that I am finished!! *victory dance* Well, I know my grade on Lifecycle - an 80%, which brought my grade from a 90.8% to an 89.9%, which means I get a B. That sucks that she doesn't use +/- 's but oh well. At least I know that it was almost an A. Haha. That should console me a little...
I have 2 coupons for sales at two bookstores, Borders/Waldenbooks and Barnes&Noble, the former for 30% with a purchase of $10, and the latter for 10% off anything in the store. So... I'll have to see if Jarrod wants to go to one of those places to take advantage of the holiday savings. Yey. I love books, if you didn't already know that... and I also love bargains. Plus, B&N has really great journals, and I collect those (because I journal like a fanatic, especially now that I have so much free time).
We might be getting a cat, if the landlord approves. I want to get a kitten from the SPCA and get it declawed (front paws only) to make sure that it doesn't destroy the apartment... I know that other people in the complex have cats, but I don't know if that is technically "allowed" - however, the landlord seems to be pretty laidback about pets. I'm allowed to have a hamster if I want to, but I'd rather have a cat - something bigger and more intelligent and easier to play with and less easy to lose, haha. It would be an indoor cat, of course, because we live near a road on which people drive pretty fast (we're just off it, and it's 40mph, but I swear people go 45-50mph - easy for a cat to wander onto it from our door and get squashed - and I do not want to go through that - I get way too attached to animals for that to happen - I would be a wreck). But if we can get a cat/kitten, that would be so cool. Especially over winter break, because it's so lonely here at the apartment, and I'd have time to spend with it to train it and snuggle with it and socialize with it. But - I am not going to get my hopes up, because I/we haven't asked the landlord yet, and he'd probably say no. Heh.
I'm listening to "Lithium" (Evanescence) on Pandora Radio right now - on my Superchic[k] station. For some reason, they think that Evanescence is like Superchic[k]? Go figure. I guess a female lead vocalist with rocky music, but there the similarities end. Superchic[k] is a Christian pop/punk band, and Evanescence is a secular Goth rock band... blech. Don't get me wrong, I like Evanescence okay - and "Lithium" is one of my favorite songs that they've done, other than "My Immortal," "Hello," and "Imaginary" - but if I want to listen to Superchic[k] type music, I don't want to listen to Goth rock. Blahhhh. But other than a few weird mix ups like that, I like - no, love - Pandora Radio. You get to make your own personalized stations - I have a Vivaldi station, a Visions of Atlantis station, a Superchic[k] station, a Nickelback station, a Celtic Cross station, an Enya station, a Flyleaf station, and a Blindside station. Yey!! for music.
I'm really tired. Blah. I just had my second cup of coffee for the day, and my eyes are still heavy. I've been going to bed early and getting up early, and what with me worrying about Jarrod getting to work okay this morning (because of the snow), I didn't get much sleep from 4am onwards since I knew it was still snowing then.
I have decided that I hate winter. I used to love it, but that was before I had to drive in it. Now I have to drive in it and put up with the snow and taking care of my car and driving when it's cold out... brrr. (At least I have a steering wheel cover, haha!!) I also have to worry about Jarrod driving in it to get to work, and I don't get the benefits of it - cross-country skiing, building snowmen, sledding, etc. - because we don't have any land around the apartment to do any of that (and all of the equipment is at my parents' house, 15 miles away). So yeah. It's cold, and I don't like that. Heh. I prefer fall and spring, with minimized mud (teehee). Not that I don't like mud... it's just as annoying as snow to drive in, is all, and my parents live on a dirt road that can get slippery in the right seasons (snow and mud, ick). But I do like squishing in mud... mud between the toes = happy feeling.
No, I'm not grown up yet, why do you ask??
Blleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh.
