So apparently, people want to actually hear about my life in my posts. (Or so they tell me. I guess they could be lying.) And in the last post's comments I said I might give it another shot today, so here I am. Enjoy, if you can.
Starting from the top, I felt like crap this morning. And it really was the top, because laying in bed was so much better than getting up and getting ready to leave for class. Though anyway, I've no idea yet whether the sore throat and plugged sinuses I've had to deal with all day are a result of allergies (things are starting to bloom around here), or if they're the symptoms of an oncoming cold. Either way, they suck, and having to actually go out to class only makes it worse.
The 40 minute bus ride I'm pretty used to, after having taken a class out at Butte College last spring semester, as well as having to wait around for an hour before my class starts. The only real differences this time are that I'm having to get up two hours earlier this semester (8:00 AM instead of 10:00 AM) and that the class is half an hour longer. And as usual, I just sat around in the cafeteria with a few friends while waiting for my class. Listening to the conversation, and occasionally throwing in a comment of my own, is sometimes amusing. It's better than nothing, at any rate.
Though it really reminds me of how much I want a Nintendo DS -- and I'd actually have one already, except for one little thing: My brother is going to be upgrading his PC pretty soon here, and I'd like to buy his old CPU from him. On top of this, I'm running out of hard drive space all too fast, and I need to buy another drive. But, I don't think I currently have enough money for all three of these things, so I need to decide which two have priority. My brother won't give me any realistic price estimate for how much he'd want for the CPU, however, so I have no idea how much that could cost. And if I don't know that, I can't judge whether I'll have enough to buy it after getting a DS or a hard drive. Sometimes my brother really pisses me off by refusing, for no good reason, to give me information that I need in order to make a decision.
But back to me feeling like crap this morning. The first annoying thing about it was that we didn't even cover any new material in class today, and I knew we wouldn't. The first test is this Friday, and the professor had announced that today would be used just for reviewing the subjects that will be on the test. Well, I already know everything we've covered about as well as I'm ever going to, so the review was pretty worthless to me. But I still needed to turn in the homework that was due today, and though I could've just turned it in and left ... there wouldn't have been much point. I would've still have had to wait around just as long to catch the next bus home, and no matter where I was sitting -- in class or in the cafeteria -- I'd still feel like crap.
The second annoying thing (tired of my griping? too bad) is that, should this turn out to be the start of a cold, it means I'll most likely be sick during the test on Friday. Yeah, I'd probably still be able to ace it just because I'm that awesome, but it would suck nonetheless. Also, I don't like going out in public while I'm sick. I'd rather not have to be around people who are contagious, and it's just common courtesy to avoid being one of those people myself.
And to top it all off, the leftover pizza that was in the fridge last night, which I was looking forward to having for lunch, had already been eaten when I got home. I mean, really, that's just adding insult to injury.
