Bedtimes

Do you remember when you were a kid and say... 8-9 o'clock would come around and your parents would send you to bed; you did so and of course you weren't tired. If you were like me, you would be awake for at least 45 more minutes before you fell asleep. I remember having little dance parties on my bed with my little sister (yay 90's club music) until dad would come in with his reinforcement. I hated bedtimes; looking back at it, I am glad it was standard because I would rise early and rock hard all day during school. I think the last time I woke at 6:00 am was around the last week of my senior year in high school. Generally I now get up around 9-10 am. But now since I got a job in the mornings with the school I kind of have to wake up really early so I can get to the office around 8 am. Knowing this should make me want to fall asleep, but it isn't easy. I am usually ready to fall asleep two hours from now. When one a.m. hits, I lay down and fall right asleep; say around 11:30, not so much. It is definitely going to take awhile, but I have said it as a child and I will say it as an adult-- BEDTIMES STINK!!!
And just to remind myself, it is now past my bedtime. I need to lay down.

Contest

So, my teacher was telling me I should try for a contest in the spring... I will definitely consider it in my to do list for the school year. Martha, warned me that it was very quick thinking involved, which got me thinking... I need some practice. One of the people (MissChevious) I watch on youtube has a contest going on right now til 10/31 where you have to create a mythical creature. I think I am going to do it. Gives me a chance to stretch my creative wings and it has a little competition involved (you should see the brushes she is prizing in). It would also be pretty neat to have someone out of the school see my work. I wonder if she'll like it. We'll see. But first things first...
Finding a mythical creature.

Another Quiet Night

The day reached it's end at the School of the Arts once again, and I was on the trail back to my apartment, again, where I would be on my own... again.
I like my space, but there is a point where it's pretty darn lonesome. My roommate is working on a show and I don't really have a lot of friends here anymore. I keep telling myself that this will be a good thing in the end, for I will be too busy to even ponder a social evening in the weeks to come. I know I will regret this (soon) when I say it, but I wish it would get crazy soon... Again, I should be careful for what I wish for because my first gig goes up this weekend.
So what am I going to do now? I think I am going to work on that website I have been building since July. My adviser told me that this is the time to start networking heavy, so I need to be ready!
And with that, I go to work...

Sick

So a stomach bug decided to pay me a visit last night. Started feeling nauseous around 7, started throwing up around 9 and continued that process til 4 am. Not the worse illness I have ever had, but it runs up there pretty good. Been awake for about an hour now (trying to let everyone know at the college that I am not well enough for registration today and also trying to settle the holds on my account, while in my bed. I considered walking there, but I am too drained from the night prior... I will have to go to Financial Aid to sign some paper work to fix something, but that will be later in the day when I have had some rest... and a shower. The big obstacle right now is settling with Residence over some ridiculous fee for the apartment I lived in last year. I admit, I did leave something in my room (forgot, and then realized while driving through West Virgina) but that isn't worth $298 dollars. And considering the fact that this fee is divided by 3... or 4... or 3 not sure since roommate number 1 left early, there is a lot of damage for that apartment, most of which was not in my control. I was 2nd to leave, so if it was a mess, it wasn't my fault. I'll fix it, no doubt.
I'm really sad because I wont get to see everyone today. I am missing the registration, the all school meeting, and the famous group pictures; all because of this mysterious illness, how rude of my body! Going to spend the day in bed, slowing putting fluids back in me and hope my stomach decides to stop groaning in there. Haha!
