4:30 - up and at 'em

Today is Friday, Dec. 9, the 343rd day of 2005. There are 22 days left in the year.

Well, Hmmm It is 6:30 now and I have already been up two hours. I am not sure exactly why but at 4:30ish I woke up. And I am not talking about the kind of waking up where you are only half awake and so you roll over and fall back asleep. I actually like that kind of waking up because for some reason I think that the 2nd time you fall asleep, you sleep deeper and better. Also you get two dreams in one night (or at least there is the possibility of that anyway). But the kind of waking up I experienced was that of the overworked student I awakened and my head was automatically filled with about 3 gazillion (what a cool word, huh?) things to do... So I just went ahead and got up. Well I no sooner arrived in the living room than I had this unbearable craving for fetticini alfredo and skittles... (well not together you silly rabbit the skittles were dessert, of course!) So I had a lean cuisine thing of fetticini alfredo in the freezer but sadly I did not have a single skittle in the house. I thought that perhaps once I had eaten the fetticini I would have passified most of my craving and would therefore be content... Nope! I sat there for about 15 minutes until it became perfectly apparent that I would have to go to the store on a skittle run. Now, take into account that at this time it is roughly 5:30... And let me just say that it is much harder to find a 24 hour store in Auburn than it is in Birmingham.... I think it was the 4th store I went to that was finally open. But nonetheless, I had my Skittles... and my Sunkist! Needless to say that caffeine and a sugar buzz at 6:00a.m. I believe you could almost call it a high of sorts! haha Oh and did I mention that during all the craziness (well at least the craziness where I wasn't Skittle searching) I was watching Gilmore Girl episodes? It has truly been an awesome morning!

However I am sad to report that an unfortunate event will soon take place. At 1400 today, I will be taking my econ final. I mean the concepts of the class I understand, but the graphs I have a bit of trouble with. But, none of that matters because once the test comes, once tat dreaded piece of paper is slid onto my desk all information regarding economics flies out of my head faster than a woman will run toward a shoe sale. I mean the second I write my name of that scantron it literally appears to grow in size and the 100 question feel like a thousand and the only thoughts I can keep in my head are thoughts like "Where did the word bamboozled come from?" and "I need a new black ink cartrege." {By the by, I looked up where bamboozled came from and just for all of you out there who are as crazy as me and would like to know... http://www.word-detective.com/021804.html gives you the meaning and the origin as well as it can be traced... turns out Jonathan Swift did not like that word He said it was the, "The Continual Corruption of Our English Tongue." anyway... It is not under "read me" but it the first question after that.} So, what was I saying again... Oh yes... not looking forward to this particular final at all. This one is 35% of our final grade. However my Spanish one which I think I will do fairly well on is only 10%. Life and her irony!

Well, I think that I had better quit procrastinating and get to studying.
Tip of the day: Eat weird food combos
Music of the moment: Gilmore Girls soundtrack... Don't knock it till you try it!
