one more week. one more week until i graduate. 
instead of studying for my final coming up tomorrow or working on my senior design project, i decided to take a few hours to be domestic. i have a load of laundry going, have a loaf of banana bread baking in the oven, and i just finished up all the dishes.
now i’m slouched over on the couch being snuggled by kitties on both sides and watching grandma got run over by a reindeer. haha.
i’ve been feeling super stressed about the end of graduation. i have a finals to worry about and my senior design project i need to pretty up and do documentation for. i need to study for the GRE, which is coming up on the 28th. i need to find a place to move into by december 29. i need to find a job. ugh.
well, better get my stuff together and pull the bread out of the oven.
there is an awful lot of snow outside…
cant tell if it’s the allergies, stress, or lack of sleep but i’ve been feeling generally unwell. i wake up every morning exhausted, with super dry eyes and stuffy sinuses. feh.
my first midterm was yesterday. it was nothing short of horrifying. i feel that if i had an extra 45 minutes or so, i might have stood a chance of passing. :\ afterwards i went to my senior design class and waited for an hour so i could speak to my professor for 5 minutes. and to top it all off, my senior design partner flew off to mexico for a vacation.
to make myself feel better i played a little batman: arkham asylum which i have to admit is pretty freaking cool. i’m not really a fan of the detective mode business. i feel like when i am not in detective mode i’m missing out on all kinds of secret stuff, and at the same time when i am in detective mode i feel like i’m missing out on some visuals i should be enjoying from the game. *shrug* i didn’t actually play batman for very long. in fact, i spent most of my night (until the wee hours of the morning) binging on peanut butter filled pretzels and watching 30 rock. i’m closing in on the end of the 3rd season, finally, and i have to admit i really really love tina fey. 
today, work until 5. class until 9. home and sleep.
leads to productivity in areas where it’s really not needed. i started on a list of games last night. still need to add more ds and psp games. and snes. and gamecube.
GAMES!
over the course of the weekend i started to feel much better. no more coughing really…the ability to think again…but i was really not into catching up on schoolwork. instead, i continued to play resident evil 5 and slum around. well, a couple of days ago i had my first school related nightmare. first ever, school related nightmare. i have never been so stressed about school that i had a dream about it. i was so upset when i woke up at god knows what hour that i brewed a pot of coffee and began working on my senior design project. my dad’s gf came in and asked me if i would be ok to go to school without having slept all night. :\ i said yeah…big mistake. should have gone to back to bed…
i think i stressed myself out so bad (and i really didn’t need to) that i started feeling a bit ill again. it might also be a reaction to the severe weather change, but i have started a bit of a cough again. oops.
so back to the old grind. back to lots of schoolwork and no fun.
the more i sleep the worse i feel. i don’t understand. i took the entire weekend off of school and did nothing but sleep, eat, and play resident evil 5. come monday, i felt AWFUL. so i took monday off too. (i finished RE5 btw) i couldn’t take tuesday off because i had a quiz. then the rest of the week was spent catching up on assignments i should have done over the weekend. eep!
well, now it is friday and while i feel much better than i did on monday, i’m still not 100%. stupid friday evening class. ugh. 6-9 pm. UGH.
i should probably go shower and eat and do some homework.
(and it being the weekend) is having an excuse to not do anything productive. this morning i went and took the practice gre exam and completely bombed. stupid me didn’t have any breakfast, just coffee. the only food i brought with me was a banana, and that sure as hell wasn’t enough to get me through until well past noon. needless to say, throughout the test i got shaky and fuzzy headed and slightly sick. :\
after the practice gre, went out to the ramen shop and inhaled a bowl of kimchee ramen and some delicious gyoza. it had been too long since visiting the ramen shop. after ramen came tokyo! on blu-ray and some much needed ginger/lemon/honey infusion for my throat. all in all, i have to say tokyo! was…ok. the second film just about ruined it for me. all the dialogue in the language nobody understood without subtitles….wtf. seriously, wtf. it was many many minutes of painful sitting.
so after movie, i took a nap. woke up and ate more noodles…took a shower…and then i thought i would watch another movie, and then decided against it. thought i would catch up on season 3 of 30 rock…but then thought perhaps i would like to finish reading the first wreauththu book but then got sidetracked by the internet.
while on the internet i came to realize scribblenauts had been leaked onto the interwebs. my god…the game is great. the tutorial was kind of slow and long and i thought the rest of the game would follow in the same fashion. boy was i wrong. this game is FUN. FUUUUUUN. and i made a cthulhu! only it attacked me and i died, so i ended up riding a unicorn instead.
sick again. :\ chest cold? not sure.
slept in until 1 p.m. today after going to bed at 1 a.m. head hurts…not sure if this is because of lack of water, too much sleeping, or being sick. perhaps a combination of all 3? yeah.
have feedback class from 6 – 9 tonight. sucks. i want to go back to bed.
