Hey. Here I am. Posting again. I feel that I have some making up to do for the lack of blogging in recent months. So, here are some highlights:
In late October, I bought a car. It still needs a name, though. I'll post a picture soon and you can start posting your votes!
Around the middle of November, I got a roommate. She already has a name, though. No votes needed here. Lindsay is a great roommate and it's nice not living alone anymore.
December was a busy month. After almost dying due to finals (hey, it could happen), I participated in an all-day Family Guy marathon (as mentioned in the previous post), and the following week we had a Lord of the Rings marathon. We actually managed to watch the extended versions of all three movies in one day. Also, my brother surprised us all by coming home from Spain for Christmas. Hooray! A week before Christmas, while cooking some naan to go with the curry my brother and I were making, I burned my hand with hot oil. Not hooray. That hurt. A lot. About 2 hours later, I noticed that the burn was looking purplish in places and it looked like it might be blistering. Thinking that maybe this wasn't a good thing, I asked my mom to take me to the ER. About 2 1/2 hours later, I left the hospital with a bandaged hand, a prescription for percocet, and orders to return the next day so they could check for signs of infection and change the dressing. As it turned out, it was a second-degree burn.
Winter quarter started on January 3rd. The break went by way too fast. I'm already in the 3rd week of the quarter and I have 2 5-page papers due in the next week. I haven't started on either one, of course, but in my defense, one of them hasn't actually been assigned. You know, I thought about writing, "In my defence." One of my profs is English. Surprisingly enough, I'm still actually learning in that class. I guess it just goes to show that you can learn something from anyone, even a Brit! Anyway, the paper in that class will be assigned tomorrow and due on the 26th. Nice, right? Oh well.
My lappy broke. Actually, it was just the CD rom. Whenever I take my computer in for repairs, I usually back up all my information first. However, since the CD rom wasn't functioning, I didn't do so this time. Of course, this was the one time that they actually reformatted the hard drive. I just got my computer back 2 days ago (I brought it in around the end of December) and discovered this. Not fun times. Luckily, I backed everything up in July when I took it in to get it checked out. Now if I could just find the CDs with all of the information on them...
In other news, I'm going back to Europe for spring break! I'll be in Madrid from March 15-22, then England from March 22-28. I'm so excited!
Well, there's a brief recap for you. I'll try to get back to posting every week. I'm only working 20-25 hrs per week this quarter. I averaged 30 per week last quarter and that was just too much. So hopefully, I won't lose what little sanity I have left. Bye for now.
