The greatest lie in history

Is it wrong that I need a stoat in my life? I love my rats, but they're not as cute, or as active, as stoats.

Just a mindless list of things I've accomplished in the last 24 hours:

1. 100% on my HRM test. I made a joke to my professor that if I tanked the test, I'd be changing my major. He looked at me very gravely and said, "That'd probably be best."

2. I got a 100% on my third business exam. Aw yiss. But I'm only doing so well because of my Genius in a Box kit:



3. I'm wearing heels today, and it feels excellent. I haven't worn heels since I broke my toe (I wore them immediately the day after, since I was going to see Danimal and obviously I wanted to make every part of me look as amazing as possible), and because it feels normal, I'm going to run tonight. We'll see if I can go the full three miles, but if I do at least one, I'll feel good about myself.

4. This isn't so much an accomplishment as it is what I'm doing: I've been listening to new music. Danimal recommended a pretty good song to me that I listened to a few times, and then I sort of spiraled from there.

5. I did finish my website the other day, and I'm not terribly sure how I feel about it.

Stevie and I had a long study night last night at VI. I didn't get home until 1:30, and then I made myself a drink and fell asleep watching MST3K.

Tomorrow is registration day for spring. I've been prepared for that for AGES. I have my summer classes picked out as well, and then my fall classes. Then I'll be halfway done! I'm trying to schedule my CLEP test, but my advisor isn't answering my emails. So I'm going to force the issue and go in to speak with him on Tuesday.

My history professor finally got around to giving me my research paper topic, and I'm not terribly excited to write a 20 page paper on the progressive era in Colorado. I'm even less excited about the ten minute oral presentation I have to give on it. Especially since that class is televised.

I have my creativity and alcoholism presentation on Thursday, which I haven't even pretended to start doing yet, but I really need to get a move on, because I have to have an outline and three presentation aids to go along with it. I can't just wing it all the day it's due like I've been doing with all of my other speeches. Damn.

Article review is due in ten days, and I haven't picked one of those out, either. My stock project is coming up, but I've been plugging along on that quite nicely, so I'm not concerned. It's been the easiest ten page paper that I've had so far.

These are the last five weeks of the semester, and then I get a lovely four week break. I'm not excited for Finals week (when it was mid-term time, I realized what a fucking HUGE bite a 20 credit semester is. I'm sure finals week is going to feel just as bad, if not worse. But you know what? I'm fucking doing it again! And again and again and again for the next two years) , but I'm excited for the end of the semester. Mostly because it'll be a week full of eating. Every single class I have is having a potluck on the last day.

Speaking of potlucks, can we just take a minute to go over how excited I am for the Thanksgiving potluck at my office, and then the actual really real Thanksgiving? I wasn't initially going to do anything, and I thought about staying home and sleeping...maybe making some stir-fry (I am ACHING for stir-fry, but I can't find the motivation to make it just for me)...but that plan has changed. Everybody is going to be going over to Allen's parents' house for gorging and boozing. Stevie, Mike, Chris, I asked Tosh and Ryan if they wanted to come, I asked Holly...it's going to be a grand affair. And I'm SO EXCITED. The last Thanksgiving I spent with them, all we did was eat and get wasted all fucking day. It was glorious. It'll be nice to spend a pressure free day with some of the people that matter the most to me. I won't be worried about school or work, I'll just be able to relax. That entire week, as a matter of fact, since I won't be working or going to class. I'm counting down the days.

I think I've dicked about enough. I have a bunch of very small things to do that won't take me terribly long, but I should get them done before I commence fooling around some more.
