Almost there.

Ahh, I love the smell of the internet in the morning.

I was looking through this blog the other day, and I realized that I don't write in this blog the way I used to. I used to regale you with the tales of my every day life. Now I give you a brief summary of the events of the last few weeks. I like writing my little bits of nonsense, and hopefully I can return to doing so over the summer.

For now, though, you get another summary.

First of all, my health seems to be improving. No more pain, no more infections. I have a couple of appointments next week to make sure this is correct. (I hate ultrasounds, damnit.) The only thing bothering me now is my skin. The doctor at St. Luke's, the last time I went, prescribed me the same lotion I used before, but it honestly didn't do a damn thing. So, and I hate myself for using puns here, but I'm itching to see a dermatologist.

Second, my housing and classes for next semester are all set. I'm going to live in a triple with a couple of friends of mine. (I get the loft bed! Yeah!) I'm thankful that my housing process went the way it did. All of the rooms were taken by the end of the third day. My number was on the fourth. How did I get housing? My friend had a number on the second day, and she "pulled" me in. I could have gotten shafted, but that was avoided altogether. As for classes, I got into all the classes I wanted. I only had trouble getting into one, but I e-mailed the professor and she let me in. (It's Med Lab Science, the one I was looking forward to the most.) I'm back to taking five classes next semester. Hope it doesn't kill me! 'Cause I wanna do Rocky Horror and "Rope" next semester.

Third, I'm currently not so broke. I got paid last Friday, and I got one of my refund checks yesterday. However, I can't go spend crazy. I have co-pays to worry about next week. But, for now, I shall spend in moderation. Hell yeah.

Fourth, I'm doing makeup for 20 Cent Fiction's current production "Wait Until Dark". The show goes up Thursday night. The makeup is basic, really, but I love helping out in some way. And, of course, I love new learning experiences. (I've never worked with liquid foundation before!) The show runs from Thursday, the 8th, to Sunday, the 11th. Thursday through Saturday the show starts at... 7? Sunday's show is at 2. (I just remembered that Sunday is Mother's Day. I need to get a card!)

Fifth, the literary magazine I helped out with this semester should be nearing the end of the production cycle. I haven't heard any updates about the dummy copy and if anything needs to be fixed. I think we're shooting to distribute soon, though.

Sixth, I'm procrastinating really hard on studying for my stats quiz. God, I'm so glad I'm nearing the end of all of my classes. I took a math test yesterday, I have a French test tomorrow, a stats lab due Thursday, and a draft of an essay for English due Friday. Out of all of that, I need to do the lab. I'll study the French tonight, and I did the draft for English. Hopefully I won't epically fail the lab. I just need some help on defining some of the terms and such. *sigh* Alway something to do.

Seventh, I applied for two jobs on campus. One with housing, another with a program called Upward Bound. Housing didn't hire me. They offered me another job, but I declined. I haven't heard back from Upward Bound yet, but it's a summer program where I would be working with high schoolers. I hope to GOD that I get this job. It's perfect. I just want to hear back from them.

Eighth, I'm starving, but I'm ever vigilant when it comes to phone calls. I'll go to the bathroom and get lunch when my coworker gets here.

I think that about covers everything for now.

More later,
