As of 10:30am Friday morning, I am completely done with my undergraduate degree! It hasn't fully set in yet, but I'm still excited! I can spend the entire weekend doing whatever I want... without having to worry about any school work :D. So... what have I done with my first complete day of freedom? I cleaned and did laundry, lol. I cleaned out my car, washed the kitchen, bathroom, cleaned and dusted my bed room... Strange as it sounds, I've actually been looking forward to cleaning this weekend. I haven't had time to thoroughly clean anything in weeks. Less than an hour after cleaning my bedroom, I accidentally flung BBQ sauce all over my desk and bedroom carpet :(. For a minute there I felt like my ex-roommate who lost most of our deposit by destroying her bedroom carpet with beer, pop, juice, gum, and dirty shoes. She's also tried to decorate the entire main floor of the apartment with ground beef. Erm, gross. Anyway... Matt and I are going to Tiara's for a hot tub party later tonight to celebrate finishing classes :)
In other news... I ended up spending a few hours in the emergency room on Wednesday because of severe lower abdominal pain. It pretty much came out of nowhere. I couldn't stand up straight, I threw up, and had stabbing pains in other areas as well. The nurses thought it was either my appendix, an ovarian cyst, or a kidney stone. I had a CAT scan after a nurse killed my vein with an IV. I wouldn't look while she was putting the IV, but apparently I was bleeding all over and I ended up turning green :-P. The abdominal pain stopped as suddenly as it started. The CAT scan came back normal, so the appendix was ruled out... they're thinking it might've been a cyst, but there wasn't any fluid. I'm pretty sure they ended up thinking it was most likely a kidney stone that I passed before the CAT scan. Either way, it was very unpleasant. I have a massive, multicolored bruise on my arm from the IV, and the right side of my abs seems a bit sore every once in awhile, but things have pretty much calmed down. I scheduled a follow up doctor appointment for Monday. Hopefully they'll be able to tell me that everything is normal. Thanks to Noelle for taking care of me :)
The past few weeks have been quite eventful. I have more to write regarding my job search, but this post is getting long so I'll wait.
oh senioritis... thank you for not delivering your most debilitating blow until the last week of classes. I want to watch a movie, or go for a walk or a bike ride, or go out to dinner, be with boyfriend, walk around the mall, sit and stare at a wall... anything but write this History paper on the Industrial Revolution. So dull. ugh.
I feel like dancing :) Contributing factors include: caffeine, gorgeous weather, and the fact that I'm almost finished with college!!!!
That was ten minutes ago... when I was outside. Now I'm sitting in the library searching for motivation to write my second to last paper of my undergraduate career. And I'm boredboredboredbored. Who cares about the Industrial Revolution anyway? :-\. Maybe I'd have more luck working on this outside :-P.
Only four more days of class and sixteen days until official graduation!!
I had a great birthday weekend :) It started out going to the Happy Greek for Matt and my three month anniversary. After dinner, we walked around the park for a bit during the end of what we found to be an Earth Day festival. Next came a birthday celebration with a few friends at Dave and Busters.
My Dad came to visit on Saturday, and we went to Cap City with my aunt, uncle, second cousin, and Matt. The food was delicious, and I had the biggest, most decedent piece of chocolate cake... ever. I couldn't even eat 1/4 of a piece, and I'm the girl who eats entire pints (or so, haha) of ice cream in one sitting. mmmm, ice creaam :D
Here are some oh-so exciting pictures of from Dave and Busters :)
I got about $120 for my birthday so far :)
And...
Blueberry decided to boycott her litter box yesterday. She pottied twice outside of the litter box and hasn't gone at all since. Luckily both times were easy to clean up and, surprisingly, it didn't smell... After talking to Noelle and calling the vet, I discovered that she may have a UTI or some other type of infection. I spent about $32 on a temporary litter box, litter, a kitty bed, and moist cat food yesterday so I could keep her in the bathroom while I'm asleep or not home so she can't use the carpeted floor as a litter box. I took kitty to the vet this afternoon. They're going to do a urine test, but Blueberry has to go to the bathroom first. Apparently there wasn't anything in her bladder, so I was sent home with a "collection kit". Hopefully she'll go by tomorrow evening, or something really serious could be wrong, she'll have to stay overnight at the vet and possibly get blood work. :(
So... Vet bill, after $30 first time customer coupon, was $70. $70 + 32 = $102... so far. There went my birthday money :-P. Oh well... at least I had some money. If it weren't for birthday money and the $100 sent by my sister for graduation, I'd be at -$104 after this month's bills :-\. Can't wait to graduate and find a career job!!! :-P
Blueberry has been cuddling with my stuffed animals lately. It's adorable :)
I'm hoping to survive the next two weeks of my life, which look like this:
Tomorrow: University assembly/survey thing and meeting during work. I might take some time off in between my meeting and the assembly to work on my psychology paper and interview material.
Saturday: Watching little cousin's black belt test in the morning; Dinner with Matt for 3 month anniversary, then Dave and Busters for birthday in the evening
Sunday: Dad visiting/hanging out with family for birthday afternoon/evening
Tuesday: Psychology Paper due, meeting after class
Wednesday: Job interview requiring of prep writing/forms
Thursday: Psychology test
Friday: History paper due
Saturday: Mom visiting for birthday
Sunday: Senior Science majors picnic
Monday: Driving home (2 hrs) after work
Tuesday: Job Interview; driving back to Columbus
Thursday: CIS paper due
Some unknown day that week: CIS final
At least these are my last two weeks of classes/exams before I graduate from college :D. I'm stoked.
Snow has succeeded in cutting my work hours in half today. Between snow days, doctor appointments, job interviews, and holidays, I'm not sure if I'll manage to get another full paycheck before I start my carreer after graduation. Goodbye money in savings...
Snow also ruined my weekend plans. Instead of spending the weekend hanging out, playing video games, and cooking with Matt, I'll be snowed in at home by myself, eating chicken and macaroni and cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner all weekend. I could probably make it to the grocery store across the street semi-safely, but wait... I can't afford food.
I'm finishing my next Psychology assignment before Spring Break, and starting my next History paper the day I get it. Procrastination is bad - I'm gonna be miserable for the next 48 hours...
On a lighter note... here are some pictures from the weekend :)
The Spanish thought the Aztecs to be devil worshipers; the Aztecs thought that Cortez was the Feathered Serpant god coming back to redeem them.
Martin Luther, founder of Lutheranism's, heresy trial is called the Diet of Worms. Worms, a small German town, is pronounced Vorms. Diet means... meeting? or something of the sort.
Tycho Brahe was a Danish astronomer who came up with a random Earth and Sun centered universe model. He also had a prosthetic nose (real one got cut off in a duel). He had a beloved pet moose as well... Tycho and friends would get the moose drunk at parties for fun, but on one fateful night the moose got too drunk, fell down the stairs, and died. Tycho was devastated.
This is a church carved out of rock. I forget who carved them :-\
I <3 history :)
My first two classes start today: Geospacial Information Systems and Human Sexuality (Psychology). The latter should be interesting. I flipped through the textbook, and the first thing I see are two animated pictures: The first of a woman going down on another woman, and the second of two naked guys making out and groping eachother. Haha, nice. I've heard nothing but good things about the class and I love the professor, so I'm really looking forward to it.
I got my hair cut last week. The stylist took about three inches off and added layers. I'm happy because the last of the colored hair got chopped, so the color all natural. I keep getting tempted to dye it, or at least get low-lights... but I keep reminding myself that I have pretty hair and should enjoy it before it turns gray :-P. It looks a bit flat in the picture, but that's pretty much it :)
And the latest Blueberry picture...
The first few days following the end of a semester are always so refreshing. I can finally... breathe. I am now three classes away from my degree:
- Psychology 255: Human Sexuality - I'm excited about this class; it's taught by my favorite prof :)
- History 107: World History II - looking forward to this one, taught by an awesome professor as well
- CIS 285: Geospacial Information Systems - think GPS. Kinda wary of this one but it might be interesting
I've gotta get to bed now... my knees and lower back are killing me. I feel like an old lady! My shoulder, hips, knees, and lower back have been incredibly sore lately. 21 is too young for that :-\. The aches are probably because of Accutane, my acne medicine. Thankfully I'm on my last month of the treatment!! Anyway... bed sounds comforting.
