One more hour of class until my Spring Break starts. Yesssssssss....
On the negative side though, I have to work tonight 3:15 til 10 and tomorrow 8am til 4:15. So I guess my actual break doesn't start til 4:15 tomorrow. Boo.
Yesterday Jeff and I went apartment shopping (well, browsing, rather - we didn't buy anything, hehe) to take down some numbers. I did a little research online last night with the names we have and I found a couple of places that show some potential.
We also filled out job applications at a couple of hotels because right now we're both too damn poor to afford an apartment, even if we split the costs. Unless the place I found online that advertises a 2-bedroom apartment for $238/mo. was telling the truth (with no strings attached). If this is actually the case then, hell, sign me up. Definitely one of the places I'll be calling when I get the chance.
I finally filled up the sketchbook I've been battling with for weeks. Now I've got to start another one cuz another week has passed. However, Spring Break apparently does not count as one of the weeks that I have to have 10 drawings for. So I suppose I've one small victory there, at least.
WOOOOOOOOO!!! Spring Break!!!*
*starting a day later for me, thanks to my job. :(

If ever for some unforeseen reason Dan and I should happen to break up, I am NOT dating another gamer. Ever. :P

You know, for all my lack of money I seem to go shopping a lot. Not that I get to buy much. Went to Great Lakes Crossing a couple weekends ago though (for the first time ever -- very cool place) and found both the DVD 10 Things I Hate About You and the Scissor Sisters CD on sale for $9.99 each. I would highly recommend both - Jeff and Kurtis can both testify to the funness of the Scissor Sisters, I'm sure.
Anyhow, this past Saturday at Best Buy I found my future computer. I WILL have this computer, along with its pretty flat panel monitor (either 15" or 17" - I'm not picky) and HP printer. Granted, it may put me in debt approximately $967, but please. My mom promised me about $800 in the form of her tax return, and I have me a credit card that I'm just itchin' to put the rest of it on. Then I will have a lovely machine to replace the stone-age Windows 98 I'm currently bringing you this post on.
I've only got 24 drawings left to do now, instead of 28...unfortunately, that's still a hell of a lot. And I think I miscounted last time. I think I had more than 28 to do cuz I've done more than 4 and I still have only 36 done. And stuff.
Oh, good news: MCD'S HAS SHAMROCK SHAKES NOW!!! Yesterday Dan gave me some money to buy myself one, so I think I've got plans for the evening. Hehe.

I'm beginning to loathe drawing.
I enjoy the actual act itself, but the fact that my professor expects me to fill 10 pages each week with something worthwhile irritates me. Especially when I do more than one drawing on a page and he says it only counts as one, while there are other people in the class who have books with pages half the size of mine that also count as one. GRR.
Curses. I have 28 drawings to do by Tuesday morning. Approximately. What the crap am I supposed to draw??

Still can't say that I particularly care for Valentine's Day.

one is the loneliest number
I thought I'd go job hunting today. I planned on it. But here I am, still sitting at my dorm. Bored, even. I don't feel like going out though. It's cold, and it's snowy, and I have a pretty good parking spot right now. And I hate February. And who hires in February anyway? It's a slow month. A crappy month. I have all of 6 hours this week at work (I'll admit it, I gave away 7 hours on Saturday cuz I didn't want to work Saturday). But I haven't been spending any money either. I've been sitting at my dorm this entire week so far, which is a record me. February hasn't got me feeling too restless. Yet. Plus gas is expensive and I haven't got anywhere to go even if I was restless.
I'll probably be here by my lonesome til about 10pm tonight. Maybe I'll paint. Or write.
All this "me" time gets a little monotonous though, even for someone who enjoys their solitude as much as I usually do.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Maybe I should try to make some friends.

One nice thing about being small-chested is that you tend to get less unwanted attention from creepy guys.
Just an odd random thought I had on my way back from class today.
I bought more red hair dye (well, actually Dan bought it for me). So the next time most of you see me, I'll be a redhead again. It's the semi-permanent stuff (washes out after so many shampoos), found on clearance at Meijer's for $4. Maybe when I get my paycheck I'll go buy a couple more boxes for future use.
A dreary day outside to match my mood. I'm not exactly feeling down, but I'm not feeling upbeat either. They're not using my on-call shift tonight at work, which is a bittersweet victory - I don't like working, but I actually do need the money.
Going job hunting on Wednesday, I think, because I really have no desire to leave the room tonight. We'll see if I change my mind within the next hour or two - the day's still kinda young, after all.

Lovely February weather we're having, isn't it? :P
In all actuality though, the warmth and the sun makes me more anxious than ever for spring/summer to come.
I think I'm gonna start looking for either a second job or a new job. Because while I make enough money to support my lifestyle now (car insurance, gas, cell phone bill, etc), I'd like to make a little more so I can afford to get a place of my own....Wooooooo! One of these days, maybe next week, I'll have to hit up a few places around here for applications.
Good news though, my insurance went down like $6/month (for a total of $72/year) since I turned 19 - it's always fun to save money. And I got a cool new case for my cell phone on Friday so my phone looks different from everyone else's. That's fun too.
I'm in a really good mood right now. Let's see how long it'll last through my work day...because off to work I go...

In honor of me being lazy, I've decided to skip French class.
It's all review anyway, and I have a lot of other work to catch up on.
Speaking of which, I need to produce a short-short story (250 words), a short story (1,000-1,500 words) and 4 poems within the next 3 weeks. Anyone got an idea of what I should write about? Becaue I usually only write well and come up with good ideas when I'm especially inspired. And well, at this point...I'm not. I do have an idea or two for the stories but I don't know if I'll end up using them. I don't know if they're good.
And Jeff, I'm not writing about a robo-lesbian, so don't bother suggesting it again. :P
Well, since I'm skipping class, I suppose I should go be productive in some other way. This place could use a good cleaning and I have about 93287598 sketches to do for drawing class.
