Funny how I don't really look forward to the weekends anymore like I used to. :) Ah well... I do need to get some things done that I probably won't get done during the week. Like, homework. Ugh, nothing sucks more than doing homework for a class you absolutely despise. I mean seriously, if I didn't have to take it to graduate I'd be doing something, ANYTHING else with my time. I spend the class periods (when I actually attend, that is) doing things like trying to list all 50 states by abbreviation. Yesterday I listed them all in reverse alphabetical order. I succeeded too... and then there were STILL THIRTY MINUTES left in the class! I guess I need to move on to something harder, like state capitals or something.

So anyway... there are three weeks left to get through until spring break!! And then it will be CRUISE TIME!!!!! I sent in my request yesterday for an official copy of my birth certificate, and I hope it gets here before I leave. ;) That is going to be so awesome. I get to spend the whole week with three guys who will spoil me rotten (and torture me mercilessly -- gotta keep a nice balance there). I'm also going to get a tan. I know tanning isn't good for me. :) But I like the way I look when I have a little tan, and I didn't get ANY tan last summer due to the fact that we had no yard, so I'm going to take full advantage of my four days of sunshine! Besides... it makes for a good excuse to bring the red bathing suit... *smiles angelically*

I wish I could move. Yeah so there are only three more months until my lease runs out, and then I will be free to get my own place. But I wish I could move NOW. I don't like coming home anymore, and home is supposed to be a place you like to be. A place you feel comfortable. And it's not. My room is approximately the size of a closet, no space to move around or anything. And it's a disaster. I wouldn't mind sitting down and cleaning it (I actually don't mind cleaning my own room, I get some kind of sick pleasure out of organizing my stuff and rearranging things) but it seems pointless because I don't actually want to BE here. I have piles of clothes sitting on the bed that are either out of season or I just don't wear. What I need to do is pack them away in a box so they're not in the way anymore. What I do instead is transfer them back and forth between the bed and the chair. On the floor I've got a basket and two garbage bags full of clothes that need to be put away... but the pile on the bed is inhibiting my ability to fold and stack them... so instead they are blocking the door, because I don't have enough floor space for them to go anywhere and NOT block the door. My desk is piled high with random crap that I have no place for. My dresser is mostly cleaned off, except for a stack of pictures that I want to hang on the wall. So I guess that's progress... :)

I can't wait to have my own apartment. I mean I am really REALLY looking forward to it. Every room in it will be MINE to arrange and decorate as I please. Nobody else's stuff will be cluttering up available surfaces. Nobody else's dirty socks sneaking into the hallways or hiding on the bathroom floor. Nobody else using my towels. Nobody else eating my food. Teddy bears won't be restricted to my bedroom and I can keep the heat at whatever temperature I want. The dirty dishes in the sink will be MINE for me to worry about as I please (which isn't very often). It will be a good life. Plus I will have my cat, finally. I can't wait.

Anyhow, that was a long ramble. :) Now I'm late getting over to Locke's, but I'm sure he will be okay. ;)

Three weeks until spring break. The week after that marks the end of the six weeks. Until then... I need to do my work, finish my resume and get it sent out, and keep having nights like last night to keep me going. :)
