Yeehaw! Jetting home for the weekend. There's nothing that will make you work faster than the thought of having to miss out on the better things if you don't.

So I went to Winners today...I think we all know what an addict I am. I love bargain hunting, it's a thrill. I ended up with a great, basic black, wool blazer; a gorgeous pair of black cuffed wool pants with tasteful white stripes; and a cute little plaid wool skirt. The grand total with tax, came to $100. I think I did quite well. *We won't mention the fact that I really don't need any clothing.*

I didn't get the work done today that I had hoped, but I did get a second chance to talk to Mom. Goodness gracious folks, I'm getting lonely again. Poor Mom, I called her last night at midnight when she was sound asleep; at least it wasn't after I'd been partying, that wouldn't have been as welcome a call. I'm eager to get home, but not upset about being here. I feel slightly like a drone, doing what I can and not being overly concerned with what I can't; I'm not sure that's a good thing. I really should continue with my work, even if it is in a drone-like state.

Okay, so I didn't like the Butterfly Effect quite so much...it was disturbing and scary, like nervous scary, not like unrealistic scary. I didn't see the whole thing...time for more fun movies.

Good times, good times. In the midst of the insanity I'm starting to relax. I always feel better when I start getting work done, or at least start handing stuff in finished or not. It's a great feeling to put things behind you. After handing in two incomplete assignments yesterday, we watched a great movie...Bend it Like Beckham. It was too cute! I need to burn it, it's a keeper...Tonight we're going to see The Butterfly Effect. I'm hoping I enjoy it just as much.

Ah the lovely old school GUI...gotta love it. Yes, that's right, I am at school, I am supposed to be doing work. I want to run away now...I don't not want to be here, I just don't want to be here. Know what I mean? It's the whole I know I can handle everything I have to do, I just have no desire to get things done. I have an assignment due every day this week, plus two labs this week which will require thorough reports. The next two weeks shall be yucky. I wish to go away on vacation. I wish not to do the work that is on my plate. I wish to go and play...go sailing, skiing, biking, anything but this dreary work. Blech.

At least today there is snow. Finally winter is coming. I am coming to the distinct conclusion that I am surrounded by a wimpy school board. The kids in this area have had one day of school in the past week. Apparently it's been too cold, too snowy, too winter for them to be required to go to school. Granted we have had a couple of bitterly cold days, but the snow is nothing but big white fluffy flakes...no blowing snow, no blizzard conditions. I will go play in the snow this weekend.

Apparently I'm lazier than I thought. It appears I managed to had in my first assignment of the semester late. It turns out that this semester, my Fluids assignments are due in class at the beginning of class. What ever happened to any time before four or five? This could take some adjusting. I've been putting things off far too long. I have a pile of assignments to do. I must get to work!

Ouch, my feet are aching. As they should be after a successful trip to the mall. A sale at the hair salon left me smiling with glee. I also stopped in a Chapters, yay books :D We picked up a couple of cookbooks. It's time to whip up some good meals, no more of this bad food, I don't like it. On the way back to res we stopped at the grocery store to stock up...I wanted to stop at the liquor store to stock up, is that wrong? I'm not allowed any alcohol, I just spilled my glass of wine, cut me off! In the middle of all that we stopped at the perfume counter at Sears; what's the public verdict, is Givenchy's new scent really "Very Irresistible"?

I'm getting impatient! Pub crawl tonight w00t! I have to wait for B to finish his lab though...bah, the bus leaves the social club in an hour, I didn't want to have to rush but can't say that I'm surprised. Yay! Go time, B has called...let the fun begin!

Well, here I am, back at school. Apparently, due to my lack of techno-communication exposure, I have managed to miss another SSME meeting. Bad Lexa! Checking my email this afternoon I discovered that they had a meeting last night and there's a pub-crawl this Friday. Bah! I'm such a party pooper but I really must go. I should be refreshed by then, even if I certainly wasn't feeling up to snuff today. I took a two hour nap this afternoon, and it will soon be bedtime for Bonzo.
