It's been a long time! I've been very busy. Finals time is around the corner looming scarily, even though it's been a week and a half since Halloween! So I've been insanely busy lately, and it feels like I haven't gotten a break in forever.

I went to my summer job work bestie Red's Halloween party on Halloween! It was just me, her and her best friend, and then her roommate and the twenty people he invited. So the three of us hid out in the kitchen until her best friend left since he had work early, and then the roommate and all his friends went to an afterparty. Our cool older cousin-vibes coworker brought his adorable little daughter over to trick or treat as well!! She was the cutest, shiest little princess. :) I about died! (But no, Blue, if you're reading, that doesn't mean I'm going to have a kid yet! LOL) Then Red and I watched weird YouTube videos from back in the day for a few hours (which is my kind of party) until after midnight, and I went home.

The next day I went on a date with the fella I've been dating! Let's call him Grey, because my favourite hoodie of his is grey. :) Anyways, we went out for lunch, and then went thrifting, where we both got some cute clothes, and then had a cute little pizza dinner watching the sunset and got some yummy cookies!

Since then, my life has mostly been unnoteworthy. I'm becoming hyperfixated on Legally Blonde: The Musical, even though it's been quite a while since I saw it! I also went round to a friend's house to play Mario Party on Friday night, which was really fun!

At least I've gotten some time to read a book lately. It's a great reprieve from everything--which is sorely needed, because I've been so busy! I had a draft of a twenty-page paper due Tuesday in my education class, which was a struggle to get done, and then there's been everything else afterwards as well. I'm totally exhausted, and there's still two more weeks to Thanksgiving break!

I am NEVER taking this many credit hours again. I think I've learned my lesson.

Now, off to make some lunch! It's a nice, cold, cozy day so maybe some pasta? I'm excited!

Well, I accidentally hit the back button when I was almost through writing this entry, and the computer ate my entry. Bugger it all!

I've had quite a busy couple of days! Sunday the guy I've been seeing came up to visit. We watched Vine compilations on the TV all afternoon, slow danced a little and then went out to eat in the evening! It was amazing. :) Although I forgot how much fat steak has! It seems like a bit of a waste of money honestly.

Yesterday I was busy as hell from morning till night, and of course I had a bunch of laundry to do in the evening, which meant I was up until 1 AM. But I will be going to bed earlier tonight! I also popped over to the post office to mail Blue a letter, which was a nice errand! Although it's become really windy the past few days, and as someone with long-ish hair and bangs, it's less-than-ideal, although somehow through it all my hair has managed to look good!

Today's also been relatively busy. I wasn't able to get much done, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a lot of classes and such, and so I didn't have a lot of free time when you consider that I also had to get my homework done. But at least I'll be able to relax some before bed! I also had a study session tonight with the TA for my linguistics class and we had some fun banter. It was really funny although I felt on occasion like it was too much, but she disagreed.

That's really it, I suppose. For such a jam-packed few days, you'd think I'd have more to talk about, but I guess you'd be wrong. Toodles!

Today's one of those wonderful days! Thankfully, it seems like this autumn's hot streak is finally over---today it was gloomy and a bit chilly. I started my day off with some reading---Miss Mackenzie by Anthony Trollope---and it fit with the day's atmosphere, I think. I'm just waiting for a morning where I wake up and it's storming so hard I stay in bed and read until I have to get up to go to class!

I had my scholarship job today. I was one minute late, so the person before me had closed the desk up already. We're supposed to wait five minutes or so for the next person to show after our shift ends, but I can understand. Anyway, the desk I work at has a little keycode thing since some of the stuff is sensitive, and you're supposed to lock it when nobody's there. I tried entering my code in any way I could think of, with the star, the pound sign, and all, but no dice. I eventually had to message in our Discord chatroom, and one member private IM'd me her code. And, what do you know? It worked perfectly! So I hope my code works next time. I'm just glad nobody needed me to get something from inside the desk before I figured it out!

Then I went to the library and did some homework---and got distracted. I'm awfully tired today, even though I slept in! But I got some work done, at least, and so I don't feel entirely unsatisfied with myself---I just have to write another entry and a half in this fictional journal project thingy before class Monday morning.

And then I got to go back to my room and curl up with a good book again! This one was about Charlotte Bronte---one of my favourite authors. That one, I really lost track of time with.

I'm supposed to call Blue and Green any minute now (we were supposed to call at 7, but they're both occupied) and then have a (very) late dinner with another friend afterward. I also want to get some crocheting in before bed! It's a perfect day to crochet, and since I'm making a hat it's fitting for the cooling weather! So TTFN whilst I go... do something until I call my friends? TTFN!!

This has been such a busy week! I meant to blog Tuesday but forgot, and I don't even remember what happened Tuesday. Wednesday was pretty good for all intents and purposes---I had a nice, long, chatty lunch with Auburn (fellow K-pop club member and one of my best friends), a study session with another friend, and finally dinner with my friend Forest. But for some reason, I felt really socially insecure when normally that would make me feel socially satisfied. This is a recurring problem---I find it hard to feel like I'm actually someone's friend even if they're one of my best friends. I constantly think my friends secretly hate my behind my back and/or are only putting up with me for XYZ reason. And I feel frustrated because, for whatever reason, in pretty much all my friendships I tend to be the planner, the one that's proposing stuff to do. It's relatively rare that a lot of these people come to me and ask "hey, do you wanna come over on X day?" or anything like that. And it's depressing.

I even have some people I thought were my friends that I'm beginning to doubt---namely, two people I'm in a club with that constantly act all bestie-bestie "you should come over to my apartment tonight" with a certain mutual friend in front of me, and then basically ignore me, when I thought we were all (with the addition of a couple others) a friend group. I get the "you should totally come over sometime" if I kind of hint that I'd like to, but that's not the same, and I'm not going to invite myself where I don't feel wanted. And I have other mutual friends with these people, and whenever I'm with them all, at lunch or something, I feel like they're very clearly prioritizing their other friend(s) over me. I'm just sick of it.

And I've been busy. I was working on a paper outline for my education class until 11 Wednesday night, without even having showered or anything, so I got in bed past 1, and I had some laundry to do last night that meant I didn't go to sleep till almost 1. I'm tired, and I have a whole laundry list (ha ha, very punny) of crap to do.

So basically, I'm stressed, tired, and oddly lonely for some reason, and feel like I have relatively few people I can rely on. Blue is one, but he's busy enough I don't want to bother him; my mum is one; the guy I've been seeing is one; and I have some friends here I feel kine of borderline about.

What do I do???

And now I'm off to do some homework... ugh.

I was having a pretty crappy day yesterday, for a couple reasons. Firstly, my roommates and I agreed that we were going to split cleaning the bathroom, and this was my week, but I was too busy and had too little mental energy to actually do it, so my roommate ended up doing it herself, which made me feel guilty, and scared I was turning into my Toxic Roommate from last year. But I sent a text to them basically apologizing and saying I might not always be able to do much but I'm really trying my best, and that was a great weight off my chest, and I feel like it was the mature thing to do as well.

And then I had a blue book essay (for those who don't know, you just have a blue notebook thing and you just have to write) as an exam for my English class---the one with the professor who can bite me because he won't let us use our books on our essays. It wasn't my finest work, but I think it was quite sufficient and I finished just barely in time, and on the very last line of the blue book (they're only something like ten pages, and paperback book-sized).

Then I got some Chinese food for lunch, and then came THE HIGHLIGHT of my day. I found out when casually checking a Discord server that FINALLY. AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARSSS. VERIVERY ARE PREPARING A COMEBACK!!!! Apparently, Dongheon announced yesterday on his life that VERIVERY will be having a new album by the end of the year with all five currently active members AND it seems like it's going to be at least a single album with a couple of b-sides?? Maybe a mini?? I don't dare hope for a full album but the important thing is VERIVERY IS BACK! For those of you who don't know, they're by far my favourite K-pop group (my avatar here is VERIVERY's Minchan) and the first one I really got into. I've been a fan of them since February 2019, about a month and a half after their debut, so I've been in this for the long haul and I've been missing them ever since they went away. Welcome back!!

The rest of yesterday was good, but today I've been super exhausted for some reason. And I still have a couple hours of homework before I can go to bed! AGH!

purplehello98: (Default)
This week has been really good so far! I feel like my social meter for the day isn't quite full enough yet, but I'm hanging out with some friends tonight that I haven't seen in a while, so that should do the trick!

I feel like both a lot and rather little has happened this week. Yesterday and today it's been quite rainy, which is always a real treat for me! And so I got to stay in and read last night, and crochet some, and call a certain guy. :) I've really underrated the pleasure of reading! I should read some more tonight once I get home.

I haven't had too, too much homework this week---actually, I had little enough last night that I finished it all before dinner! I've gotten to crochet some as well, and my hat is coming along seemingly quite well. (It's my first time crocheting something that isn't rectangular---or at least supposed to be!) And I'm finally (mostly) settled into a routine!

Besides that, my Vyvanse is going quite well, and it's finally becoming fall! Actually, I noticed this afternoon that the first leaves had started to collect on the ground. Only a few leaves on the trees have changed colour yet, but fall is coming and I'm excited! I finally get to romanticize college more.

I've been really grateful to be at college this week. I know it sounds weird, but I kind of really love it here! I get to learn so much, live somewhere beautiful and make so many amazing friends! Life's been pretty great this week, and I'm hoping and thinking that tomorrow's going to be a great finale to my school week! I have some fun plans this weekend, but those can wait for another post. :D

And so in the meantime, I hope you're having a great fall (or maybe not fall) day! I know I'm having a great fall week. ^u^

I've had a pretty nice three-day weekend! I came home for Labour Day weekend and got pretty busy. I've done my homework and had some fun. I went to my work bestie's birthday party the other day, which was fun! I met some of her friends and saw her roommate again. We watched that Addams Family movie from the 90s, which was pretty good, although I don't know that I'd go out of my way to watch it again. Afterwards, we did the Bean Boozled challenge, which is... gross? I don't know what I was expecting. And we chatted until like 11, and my mother started wondering where I was. But my phone was on silent, so I didn't know. Which apparently nearly gave her a heart attack, but I saw her texts and calls eventually. She gets anxious easily.

And then yesterday I went on a date! I went to the mall with that guy I've been seeing, and it was really nice. He bought me some cookie cake and this shirt I had my eye on! I ended up buying myself an ILLIT album and some makeup as well! I don't know yet where it's going to go with him, but regardless he's so sweet. ^u^

Tonight I'm hoping to hang out with some of my friends from my k-pop club! I never get to hang out with them that much outside of the club, sadly---or at least not yet this year as I've been really busy. But I'm hoping to be less busy from here on out since it felt a bit more like I was falling behind. And I'm going to have my Monday-Wednesday-Friday afternoons wide open from here on to get a lot of work done. So I hope I can hang out with people more this semester and deepen my friendships!

That's about all. Toodle-oo!

Well, in case you hadn't read the title, I'm now a Panic at the Disco songwriter!

What I actually am is putting off working on my statistics homework. I still have a few more questions on the study guide for the test, which is, oh yeah, tomorrow?!? And I can't remember how to do some of the stuff on here. Thank the good Lord that we get a formula sheet, because I'd be cooked otherwise, and I still might be lightly sautéed nonetheless. But it's only two and a half weeks until I never have to calculate another p-score again, and I'll be p-retty damn glad! Ha. Ha. Ha. You can tell I'm braindead from this stupid class because my puns are even lower-effort than usual.

I'm also mentally at odds with the student organization people at my college, because we can't make any more reservations for my k-pop club until we get approval on some paperwork and stuff, but the problem is that we've submitted everything as of yesterday and they're dragging their feet (or maybe they're just busy, but still) and our meetings are on Mondays, so if we don't get approval by tomorrow I don't know what the heck we're going to do?!? Maybe just hold it clandestinely in a hall lounge.

OK, update later and I only have two questions left on my study guide. But it's ridiculously late. When will I be able to get into bed at a decent hour?!? Perhaps this summer I'll be able to reset my routine--or maybe this weekend? And I've been on the computer all day, and I'm basically braindead, and I've not really had any free time today.

But that brings me to TWS! They had a comeback on Monday and I like all the tracks on the album! A lot of people have called it a sort of "Plot Twist 3.0", which makes sense as it sounds like the child of "Plot Twist" and "If I'm S, Will You Be My N?", but I still like it! Nick of the Bias List actually made an extended edit (as mentioned in the comment here) which he sent to me, and it inspired me to make my own! So maybe watch out for that soon when I get time?

And that's all, because it's getting late and ya girl needs to get in bed! Toodle-oo and talk to you soon!

purplehello98: (Default)
Well, today my only class was cancelled, so I've been having a relatively chill morning in! So far, I've finished my statistics and compsci homework (with some struggling, especially with the stats!), and I've had four cups of tea. (Or rather three and two-halves--one cup of Earl Grey got lukewarm too quickly and this blueberry lemon tea I tried for the first time tasted like cleaning supplies. Yech.)

And I'm not talking normal teacups, either, or even normal mugs, but this bigger tumbler-like thing I got from Starbucks ages ago that my parents found in the back of the cupboard at home. I'd say it's probably a mug and a half-sized, so that means I've had (humanities major struggling to do math) six cups of tea today! (And some nice biscuits--thanks, Mum!) And so when I was making my last thing of tea, I had a flashback to that scene from the first episode of Gilmore Girls:

Me: Please, Lizzie, please, please, please.
Also me: How many cups have you had today?
Me: None.
Also me: Plus?
Me: Three. But the fourth is better.

Well, shall I start shopping scripts out to the networks? I mean, my principal in fourth grade did compliment my comedic timing in our class play on the fifty states... maybe I've just got that magic touch.

Anyways, I'm going to have some Chinese food and Gilmore Girls (very topical, eh?) for lunch as my reward for a (relatively, consider I kinda slept like crap) productive morning, and then onwards to Citation Station to finish up my English essay.
purplehello98: (Default)
I went home this past weekend for tax reasons, and was able to get back into my family's Netflix account (apparently, if you don't log into it at home every month or so you can't use it when away from home) and so today I sat down and watched some Gilmore Girls with my lunch! And it struck me that I feel very Rory Gilmore-esque today. This whole week, even, I feel like I will be very Rory-esque. (Except the fact that I'm writing this in my statistics class right now instead of paying attention... but I'm too busy for that today, in my defense!)

Well, to start, tonight I have to lead a club meeting, as well as an executive board meeting beforehand, so I had to write up an agenda and send out an e-mail, and this, that and the other. And for some reason, after having a very lovely and unstressful week last week, everything seems to have cooperated to make this week busy. I have a big essay due later on in the week that I was too exhausted (something to do with my allergies/allergy meds, I think?) to work on much over the weekend, like I had planned to do. And I have to do exec stuff for one club, and planning, and sign up to run for exec for another next semester. And I have some statistics assignments to do, and a French take-home quiz to do (which was also supposed to be done over the weekend, but my professor didn't send it until almost midnight on Saturday night), and a movie to watch for linguistics, and AGH!

I really don't know how Rory Gilmore was doing this busy extracurricular and studying-all-the-time stuff all throughout high school--I'm in college and it's still such a juggling act. I mean, I literally was juggling just before this class what could I do in class (anything on my computer, because I have the plausible deniability that I was "looking at slides" or something) and what would be gauche (breaking out a book and reading Frankenstein or finding citations for my Jane Eyre essay). I mean, one of the most engaged students in the class (always asking the teacher questions and such) is sitting on his phone right now and has been all class. But still, I do feel bad for not paying closer attention in class--perhaps what's keeping me from being like Rory Gilmore. Although even she had her terrible unacademic, crash-out-y moments during college (I don't want to spoil, but if you know you know!). So perhaps I'm not so unlike her after all, although she isn't a perfect aspirational figure anyway.

Pre-Summer

Back at ya again! Now I'm sitting in my library. I never normally go to the library on weekends, or in the evening, but I always love it when I do so maybe I should more often! Anyways, even though a few weeks ago I was kind of dreading summer, I don't think I am anymore. I can work to keep myself busy, and at least one of my friends should be in town so I can hang out! And I'm (fingers crossed) FINALLY going to get my license (yes, I still don't have it, and yes, I'm more embarrassed about it than you are shocked) over the summer so I might be able to visit some of my college friends! Also, I put together a summer playlist that I've been jamming to over the past few days! (Actually, I just had to pause midsentence writing that in order to jam out to All Mine by f(x). So I've been having a pretty epic time.)

Also, I've been having such a hectic week! I'll really miss my friends, but I won't miss the work (although I do love my English class) and I won't miss the roommate drama, which I won't even get into here because I'm trying to get over it and let it go, but suffice it to say I've had a dramatic week. And then yesterday I spent all day until like 9:00 PM working on my compsci homework! I had the whole suite of emotions, from "I'm dropping this like it's hot" to "I love this it's so fun!", and I had basically no human interaction all day yesterday either, which made for a treat. But despite not getting enough sleep last night, I've had a pretty chill day today! I even chose on a whim to eat dinner outside since it was really nice out, although I had to come inside the library for the last little bit since the wind got pretty cold all of a sudden.

But yeah, it's been a pretty good day! I'll try to work more on the site tomorrow if I have time. Also, my polycarbonate MacBook has become an object of admiration from other people! Just now a couple clubmates of mine complimented me on it, and this guy in my stats class (who I don't really like but that's a different story) did too. It's so cute and I really need to put it on my computers page! I actually think I'll do that just now. Toodles!

A Good Day

Well, I was going to start off this blog post with a little bit about how I feel right now (spoiler alert: it's super rainy and I saw some really cool clouds) but that turned into a whole different bit of writing, linked here!

But anyways, I'm having a super cozy morning. And I didn't have to do as much French homework as I thought I would have to do, since my professor didn't send me the poem I was supposed to "do" (do a read-aloud? a presentation? an interview with Victor friggin' Hugo about it?) for today. The other person who's also supposed to do one didn't get sent theirs either, so I suppose we'll just see how everything turns out in half an hour when I have class.

I've been quite busy this week. It feels like I have about fifty-three things to do, even though I'm not actually sure what all of them are. If I didn't have a planner, I'd be lost and/or dead right now. I just know I have some English reading to try and do before my French class, and then later I have a statistics case study I still haven't started on (ugh). But I'm having lunch with my friends from the (as of yet still unofficial since the student government won't get back to me like they should) K-pop club, and I'm not going to let that ruin my day! Sure, I may be busy, but I think I'm still going to have a pretty good day.

But yeah. I was going to do some other work on the site just now, but I think that'll have to wait until after my class. Sorry, y'all! :( But TTYL! :)
