The Bad And The Good

The Bad: The boyfriend and I went to Cedar Point today. We got there early enough to ride Maverick without too much of a wait. Rode some other stuff. Ate greasy fries and rode some more rides. I think you can guess the rest of the story. We came home early after I (ahem) got sick on Raptor (my favorite ride!). I'm still a little out of sorts, mostly just a headache. It was pretty disappointing, but life happens that way sometimes.

After dinner, my brother, mom, boyfriend and I went to Circuit City. I've been considering a new computer for a while since my laptop is nearing the point where it could spontaneously combust and I'd rather buy a computer before then so I don't just rush to the nearest store and get one. I got a new HP and it's AWESOME. It has Vista, so I have to get used to that, but so far I really like it. It's going to be very strange to have a desktop after all these years of a laptop! It's more "computer" than I need, but that's okay with me. Here's hoping it lasts till the end of optometry school!

Tomorrow I'm heading back to Columbus to finish moving out of my apartment. And I'm introducing my mom to Indian food. It ought to be fun!!

Ramble, Ramble.

When I wake up from a midday nap, my face is flushed. And it stays that way for hours. It's very annoying, especially when I need to go somewhere after a nap, and I look constantly embarrassed. Ack.

I hate when my boyfriend works the evening shift, because then I'm left to my own devices from 2pm till he gets off work at 10 or so. Today...it's homework to make my week easier. And to make it so that over Memorial Day weekend, when I'm visiting with my boy's family, I won't have to worry about the fact that I'm not doing homework.

My paper for my project is almost done. I'm waiting for comments from my advisors, which I suspect won't come till Monday anyway. Which is when it's due, so that's always helpful. At any rate, I'm calling my project officially done from my point of view. Unfortunately, one of my advisors is very adamant about writing publications about everything, so I think she'll be bugging me to write a manuscript about what I've found with my project and it's clearly not at that point yet. Ugh. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool to have a publication, but I just don't want to work on it.

I spilled lemonade on my keyboard on Thursday. This is particularly upsetting because my computer is a laptop, so I was pretty concerned about short-circuiting my computer. Luckily all I managed to do is mess up my space bar, which is probably because I don't know how to put it back on the right way. Oops.

I guess I'll get back to homework now. I have to read a bunch of things for history so that I can take a quiz on Tuesday. And study for a midterm. And prepare for a presentation. Sounds like a lot, but in all honesty I'm not that worried about it.
