GRAUDIUM, ADEO MIHI
THAT’S WHAT HE/SHE SAID

I like it up and down: My schedules are either back-to-back chaos or extremely chill. I don’t think I’d like it if I had a moderately busy schedule. The extremely busy days tend to be the more interesting ones and the fun I have distracts me from the panic I would typically fall into. Slow days are where I can sleep until noon, go to the beach to do homework, then go turn it in before I get dinner. Ironically, I live a rollercoaster life but I can’t ride rollercoasters. 

It’s been tight: I’ve been just randomly going into work aside from the days I’m set to work because I’ve been splurging on things a little bit. Pier 1 Imports for ma, Fanz for pa. Their smiles are priceless but the gifts I’ve been buying don’t do any favors to my accounts. It can be scary knowing what goes on with my money so I set my billing address to my school address: Business mail isn’t delivered here. Haw, Haw!

Suck it up: Valentine’s day will be here before I know it and before that is Tet! I’ve always wanted to walk around the festival holding the hand of someone special but have never had that! Less than two weeks after that, it’s V-DAY! It’d be nice to go out somewhere special that day but I currently lack a romantically significant person. I miss cuddling, holding hands, and cute shit like that. I’m just going to have to suck it up and wait for the chocolate boxes to go on sale to get my own. Forever alone.

I want them on the wall: There are a cajillion moments I wish I would have captured in  photo but there are some college memories I’ve managed to save. My wall only has high school memories and even that’s minimal. When I go home for Tet, I need to get to printing and putting together those pictures! 

They’re bigger than I thought: I can’t wait to move into the on-campus apartments next year with deez beeachez! All of this talk about going on a Target rampage to get things for our apartment gets me so excited! BEAN BAG CHAIRS!!! Thank God I have the best roomies in the world! I’m still pretty curious as to how we were matched to each other. What could we have possibly put on our housing applications to get put together like this?! Fishfock, Barass, Asskell…HA!

I hate having it on my face: Oil is for fries, not my face. I didn’t think I was stressing that much but my complexion is saying different. I need to have more of these Spa Sundays. Eff you people that come by my suite on Sundays! I can’t put on my bright green facial mask knowing someone is going to see me! RAWR! DUNGEON DRAGON!

Eat it: This Special K diet is a lot harder than I remember it to be. I’m actually dreading getting hungry because I know that I’m only allowed cereal, unless it’s dinner and I’m allowed to have my regular food. As I down my cereal, I’m hating it. Never have I hated cereal so much.

I’d rather have it slow and steady: It seems like everyone is in a mad dash to graduate. It’d be nice to graduate in four years but I don’t think I’d be doing myself any favors rushing through everything and having a mediocre GPA. It would really hurt my pride to be forced to go back and retake classes to raise my GPA after getting rejected from graduate school. I don’t see any shame in retaking courses so I’ll do just that until I’m satisfied. Hopefully I’ll be happy with things before I’m an old geezer.

Put it in my mouth: I should be wearing my retainer every night but for awhile, I was wearing it only every now and then. However, now that I’ve broken it, I don’t wear it at all. My teeth are getting so bad! I should look into that Invisalign stuff soon.

I can’t get a hold on it: I’ve been having series of weird dreams with random people in them. It makes me feel like there’s something wrong with me mentally. I had what I think was only half of a big cry recently so I guess I need to work things out some more. I don’t understand myself. All I know is, when I have long cries, it clears my system and I’m good. If only my pillow pet can hold me back.
