Almost there
So I’m exhausted and don’t remember the last time that I updated. 
 
The latest, aside from school things, is that I went to get a trim with Grace the other day and at the last moment decided to get long layers. It was really random and I don’t know why I did it but I was thinking at the time that I had never actually had a haircut that wasn’t just a trim. Anyway, I now look like what Harry Potter would look like if his hair was a longer and he gained a hundred or so pounds. It basically just looks like I don’t brush it and it’s growing in all directions. And although the hairdresser mentioned that my hair seems to grow faster on the right side than on the left, it seems that she didn’t bother to even the sides out. It doesn’t really matter b/c I never wear my hair down but I thought I’d share.
 
What else? Well, to add to the look, my crazy mom bought me some earrings and she made such a big thing out of them that I didn’t have the heart to turn them down without at least trying them. I hate anything in gold and anything that’s not really tiny, especially for my ears b/c I really don’t need to be accentuating the already extreme largeness. So she bought me giant (by my standards), thick, gold hoops. I put them on and felt like a pirate and that kind of made me happy so I think they are going to work out ok. None of you will recognize me as chubby, pirate Harry Potter the next time you see me. 
 
So anyway, this semester has probably been the most hellish yet and I’m dying for it to be over. I have class tomorrow and on Thursday (despite the fact that Thursday is reading day) and then I have two finals (scheduled at the exact same time—7:45 – 10:15) on Friday. My class that is still running on reading day is holding one last regular class session next Thursday during finals week and then I am done and can finally get my ass back into the lab. I’ll be doing lab prep during summer B which will kind of blow but will be much better than teaching and I will need the money since I’m officially off of my parents’ health insurance as of the 30th and it is looking like I’m going to be shelling out 300$ a month for some HMO come May 1. Still waiting to hear back from BlueCross for what I hope will be a cheaper plan. 
 
But yeah, I’m tired, stressed and coming down with a chest cold (mom and dad are both sick and one of those cruise ship viruses is going around FAU right now so I knew I was doomed—I’m just glad I got the chest cold rather than the stomach bug so far anyway) and thankfully done with my Integrative final paper and with finalizing my student’s grades and am now just trying to avoid studying for my tests. Despite how crazed I have been this semester I’m a little sad to be done with teaching. One of my two classes has probably been the most entertaining yet and I will be missing my bit of fun during the week. 
 
This has gotten too long but, like I said, I’m stalling. To add to the length, I thought I’d steal the following from James’ journal and include it in order to give myself yet another thing to do that did not include studying. 
 

You: The Musical

Answer each question with song lyrics that best describe you.


1. Are you male or female?

She is woman

        Jerk of all trades – lunachicks

 

 

2. What is your take on life?

All I want from life

Is a car that I can drive

Home from work late at night

From my 9 – 5

And if I don’t survive

I guess all I want from life

Is to know that I tried before I died

        It all comes out in the wash – Self

 

 

3. What is your take on war?

Hey, what’s the point of this?

        Got you where I want you – The Flys

 

 

4. What is your love life like?

They tell me life is for loving
What's loving for

She's an island
in the ocean
Close to no one

 

....

 

And she says
This is where I belong (this where I belong long)

        She’s an island – Self

 

 

5. What was your "first time" like?
 

It’s so contagious all the yawning

        Happy Accidents – Self

 


6. What is your favorite color?

She wore blue velvet

        Blue Velvet – Bobby Vinton

 


7. Is there something important we should know about you?


8. If you have a significant other, or even just a crush, what song lyric most reminds you of them?


9. Do you have any regrets?

Lost your friction and you slid for a mile

          Web in front – archers of loaf

 


10. What is the one thing you will always be trying to do?

Planning for a sound financial future

        Secure Horizons – Guttermouth

 


11. Ask me a question.

I guess this would have been directed towards the person who sent this to me, but since I just stole it I guess it doesn’t apply

 


12. What is your family life like?

Sometimes I can’t hear myself think

        Terrible Thought – Poe

 


13. If you could say anything to one of your exes, what would it be?

If we never meet again

Got a piece of you my friend

I carry you with me

Carry You – All

 


14. Are you crazy?

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

        Basketcase – Greenday

 


15. What lyrics make you think of your hometown?

A boring life in a boring town with the same old crowd

History of a Boring Town – Less than Jake


16. What song do you think could have been written about you?

All I get are recorded tones when I call you on the telephone

Grow Up – Self


17. What song do you think best describes you?

Something’s always wrong

        Something’s always wrong – toad the wet sprocket



18. Do you like where you live right now?

Our lands are green and skies are blue

        In the Meantime – Spacehog

 

 

19. How do you feel right now?

Don’t fall down now

You will never get up

        Strawberry – Everclear

 


20. Why?

I’m so tired I can’t sleep

        Nirvana – Pennyroyal tea

 


21. What is your opinion of the world right now?

I don’t like this air

But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop breathing it….

 

Don’t look now

Just keep

Watching the tv

Hating what you see

Waiting for someone to say something that’s right

        Center of the Universe – Built to Spill

 


22. Describe the person who sent this to you.

Again, no one sent it to me. 


23. Are you religious?

 

Evolution’s one hero

The Forbidden Zone – The Misfits


24. What is one of your biggest faults?

I just wanna be left alone

        Splitsville – One Hit Wonder

 

 

25. If the world, as we know it, were to end tomorrow leaving only you and a select few alive what would you do?

Where do we go from here?

        The Bends – Radiohead

 


26. If you could say one thing to the person that pisses you off more than anyone in this world what would that be?

I hope ya flip some guy the bird
He cuts you off and you’re forced to swerve
In front of the beatles’ tour bus
A bookmobile and a mack truck
Hauling hazardous biological waste
The light turns red you have no brakes
And hard copy gets it all on tape
So you can see the look on your face

Die die die die die die die
Die die die die die die die

I hope your pinto begins to spin
Takes out a disabled vietnam veteran
Mows down a nobel peace prize winner
And maybe some orphans having christmas dinner
Perhaps even the british royal family
And the rabbi that’s clutching the bottle-fed puppy
And we can’t forget the newlyweds
And those jerry’s kids are as good as dead

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope your cellmate thinks he’s god
But CNN refer to him as bowling ball bag bob
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse
Only this time the victim’s a Clydesdale horse
While he masturbates to photos of livestock
He does the silence of the lambs dance to Christian rock
Eats feces and quotes from deliverance
And fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die die die die die die die
Die die die die die die die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
And forces you to play a game called balls on chin
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember fist can be a verb
And when you finally regain consciousness
You’re bound and gagged in a wedding dress
And the prison guard looks the other way
cause he’s the guy ya flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die
I hope you die

 

I hope you die – Bloodhound Gang


27. If your crush were to sing any one song to you what would you have that song be?

Well you're my fatal attraction
I saw you and my heart had a chain reaction
when I smell your perfume
it spells out D O O M doom
and doom backwards is mood

I'm in the mood for you girl
(he's in the mood for you girl)
in the mood for you girl
(he's in the mood for you girl)
hope that you will know it's true
'cause I am in the mood for you

I released twelve doves
'cause when your here I'm totally in love
and it makes my body numb
I know that makes me sound dumb
but dumb backwards is almost mood

You know there comes a time in every boys life When he has to make a decision
A decision involving women or girls
And you know what my decision is girl
'Cause you know I love you

(Song's not over yet)

I know what you're thinking
When you're drinking
And I think the same thing that you do
Sort of
We can have a fight
And talk all night
About what we drank earlier
Or what we thought we were thinking

You know this, is the time of day
When I like to lay down and go to bed
'Cause It's night time and id love for you to lay down with me
'Cause I think you're fantastic

 

        Mood 4 Luv (minus some bits and repetitive parts) – Reggie and the Full Effect

 


28.What is your favorite song to listen to when you need some encouragement?

As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world

My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
…

And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I’d fall for certain
For thinking that I’d last forever

But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul


And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can’t live without
And I knew the silence of the world

 

Muzzle – Smashing Pumpkins (currently anyway)



So anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well at this stressful time of the semester. Oh, and lastly, Anthony got a job in a crime lab and I’m thinking that once I get out of here (hopefully no later than the coming fall term) that I would like to do that. I don’t really ever want to think again and really anyone can be trained to do the techniques required in that kind of a job and I doubt there are too many that they use that I am not already familiar with. I don’t think I ever want to have anything to do with research or academia ever again and I feel pretty good about it. Alright, time to hit the books for real now.

Oh man you should totally work in a crime lab. That'd be so cool. You can be the really smart person on Law and Order who matches up the DNA and sprays for blod and stuff. And I'll be a detective and we can fight crime on the mean streets of Ft. Lauderdale.

Me'z all crazied from skool two. But, I will be done no later then Friday this week, depending on how long it takes for me to finish a program I'm working on. I'm hoping I'll finish it by Wednesday, so I'll be done early and can do some simple things like, clean my apartment, get an oil change, get a hair cut, get some new glasses/contacts, visit dentist, SLEEP, you name it, I needs to do it. Seriously though, I was working on an assignment this weekend and I don't think I've ever not wanted to do something so bad in my entire life. I would have rather eaten a light bulb soaked in a toilet then do it. I've totally hit my breaking point this semester. I did get all my final classes for my program of study sorted out, and I don't have to take any summer classes because they are not offering any, and I only have two left that I'll take this Fall and I'll be done with my Masters. So I'm just going to work full time over the summer and get some papers published, regain some mental health, apply to some PhD programs, and pretty much decide if I will find a job in Fall or get ready to start another degree. Right now, I'm thinking job or crazy homeless person with tinfoil hat.

So glad to see that you posted! I was just thinking about you yesterday! At least this semeseter is almost over for you. I know it's been a bitch. Best of luck with a crime lab job. That would be fun I think. :)
I have a defense of a proposal for my class next Monday as well as having my dissertation plan due Monday, so I'm killing myself this week. Then my final for my class is the following week. But thankfully after that I get to know to New York for 5 days for my friend's wedding. By the way, I now own giant microbes and they make me happy. :)
Good luck with the studying!!! Miss you and I can't wait until someday when I make it back to FL again.....

=] this made my day, much delayed as my reading it may be. i hope NY was fun and that you got all that stuff wrapped up with minimal stress. I too am a proud giant microbe owner--Kristian bought me yeast and I'm in love with it althought I feel I may need others, like at least E. coli also. come visit soon. I need to relax and regain some sanity, not that I really have the time to do so right now but still.
