Glitz looking sexy as always 

Fodder and Blaze. 

I had so much fun on my birthday! 

If ever, I was attracted to a cowboy, this is him... lol, and I hate cowboys... 

Elfen Amanda! So cute! 

And many happy returns of the day!!!!!!

I think I got the best birthday present possible today, qualitative analysis only took an hour! And required no calculations! Sleeping in this morning was lovely and I woke up to a breakfast of strawberry shortcake. I feel confident that I did well on both my biology and german tests. So the only item of impending stress on the agenda is Friday's chemistry test. But from the way my peers are talking, no one is really ready for it. So even if I do bomb, the curve should save me. =)

However, one thing I do demand for my birthday is sunshine! This dreary weather is not a fitting tribute to the celebration of the day that I came into this world! I guess I can take consolation in the fact that everyday we move that much closer to spring. And despite the rain right now, the temperature is lovely compared to what it could be.

Huggles!

I get to sleep in an extra two hours tomorrow morning as an unintended side effect of donating blood today. Obviously it isn't a great idea to work out too strenuously within 24 hours of a large blood loss and since my mom is off work tomorrow, she's going to drive me to school 2 hours later then usual, which means...

Yay me! Extra sleep!

Which is good because it has taken me several hours to finish my chem lab report and I am already up later than usual... And I didn't even manage to study for Friday's chem test... And hopefully tomorrow's bio test will be as easy as I think it is going to... because I didn't really study.

Ok, well I'm off to claim my extra special birthday sleep... When I wake up I'll officially be a year older. We'll see what being 19 feels like.

Huggles!

ps... My Dad ran a bunch of debugging software on my computer this evening and deleted something like 150-200 seperate instances of spyware... Weeeee! Thank you world for infesting my harddrive!

Fading

With the snow fading this morning, I thought perhaps the green loveliness of the grass would cheer me up. I even held hopes that perhaps the sun would shine! At the least, I was exhilarated that I was walking comfortably outside without a coat. It was seeming to be a good day.

Then... Qualitative analysis struck. My cognitive abilities faded quickly as the monotonous list of chemicals we had to measure and dilute and mix increased. This was further complicated by the idiotic droning of my neighboring lab pupils. If I hadn't been lucky enough to get the same lab partner as last semester, then I'd probably be homicidal already. I took one look at the equations and my brain went on strike. It's out to lunch, be back tomorrow... Sigh, this class is torture. The real clincher is that it is only worth 2 credits but we are in class 6 hours a week and I am doing work outside of class for it at least that same amount of time. It's ludicrous. It's the most work, not to mention the most difficult work, of any class I've had so far in college. It really almost discourages me from being a bio major... And O chem only bodes to be worse.

Sigh
Please someone give me something solid to wrap my brain around before it disintigrates completely!

Thaw!

My goodness! There is a stange color all over the ground today. Green! =) Now if only the sun would shine I could get over this funk I've been in.

I spent another hour at the rec center working out his morning. Really had to force myself to go after last night's scarcity of sleep. But one or two hours every monday, wednesday, and friday morning of cardio and weight lifting should soon make a large difference! I hope... I just feel so clunky and huge lately... Sigh, time to get back to the old me! Ashling, streamlined!

Can you tell I'm rambling? Off to Deustch Klasse!
Guten Tag!
Hugz.
