I'll be fine after a few hours of sleep I think. I bet I'm just tired. Maybe I need sleep. But I'm stressed and sad. I miss NaNo.... Is it ridiculous to be missing NaNo? I write EVERY DAY. Why do I miss my special November-time...? Because I get to push myself? Because of the friends and odd chats? Because of the excitement...yeah. It's thrilling. And I miss it. And I'm scared my mom will seriously disapprove if I tell her I'm going to do NaNo2009 since it'll be my freshman year of college.... BUT I HAVE TO DO NANO!!!! I can't NOT do nano.... It's in my blood now. I'm going to find some weird places to write too. I never got to go anywhere odd these past two years. This coming November I want to sit in the elevators and type or find random hotel lobbies/coffee shops and watch the world as I work. ...Bring it on. *huge huge sigh* I've gotten into contact with my college roomate for my upcoming semester. She is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of everything I am. So now I am...terrified! She's loud and I'm quiet. She's up till all hours of the night (morning) and I'm scheduling classes for 8:00am or 9:00. (She doesn't have any classes before 11:00am. ) She's...intense. (Who lists "dying my hair and getting piercings" amongst their string of hobbies? ...*tear*) I'm stressed because I'm worried about this. I've never been friends with someone like her, I think. And though she seems really nice in her emails, some of the things (noted above) are kind of making me nervous. To top it off, I was naive (see: stupid!) and said I didn't really want to have guys coming into our doorm room often, and she was kind of thrown. She said (very nicely) that she has a lot of guy friends, but that "none of them are really crude or anything." Whatever that's supposed to do for me.... Egh........ I wish I could just take back my comment now, but I don't know how. ("Okay, just forget I said anything! I'm okay with guys coming into our room at any time of day!" ...?) Yeah... stressed? My to-do list is incredible, it seems. A few nights ago my parents woke up to find me up at some terrible hour of the morning. Their words: "Laura! It's you! But you're supposed to be the responsible one!" Then my mom somehow found a way to mention all of these things that I haven't done this summer yet that I should be doing. So, after having a rough time falling asleep, I woke up the next morning making to-do lists. I now have this massive daily list of check-off items. (Believe it or not, Xanga is on there, because I keep dropping off the Xangean planet.) And I'm slowly getting things done. But now...now I'm just tired. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel off tonight. I just found out the sheets I bought for my dorm room are probably the wrong size. I don't know if I have the receipt. One of my coworkers is quitting in a week, so we will probably have to hire someone.... I'm kind of glad and sad. I have never liked t girl all that much because she slacked off and I took the brunt of her...slacking? But, lately, she and I have been having fun working together. I can't even say why. So now I feel odd knowing that I'm going to miss her, yet being relieved that I won't ever get any more last minute (see: one hour before work!) calls to ask if I can take her shift.... *sigh* I need to journal. Seriously. I need to vent there, because this is getting too long and no one will read it. But, oh well. I'll leave you with one fair parting shot... Dollarish posted: "What would you do with 10 million dollars?" What I wish I could put: Buy a piano store buy at least three kittens/cats set aside rest for college/post-college expenses What I would probably actually do: put aside enough for all college expenses buy a modestly priced piano (hopefully a white baby-grand!) buy at least three kittens/cats save for post-college living expenses Yes...both lists are in order. :) Sorry I was venting tonight. I'll get back to you with comments soon.... As Facebook says: "Laura B-----" --"Is sad for some reason, and can't figure out why. My day was perfectly happy earlier. Now, I just feel tired and scared and upset. I think I'll take my iPod, put on some worship music, and go to sleep." Favorite song for when I'm sad: Bebo Norman's "Tip Of My Heart" "I'm gonna live...." *sigh* I could use a hug right now.... I could really use a hug. |
