Weather, And Also: Actually That's It.

AAAAAAAAAA

I have come back from the dead--that is, I had two exams last week and I am now settling into the relatively stress-free week ahead. FOR NOW. I think I have some random paper due for some random class sometime this week. It's all good. I GOT IT COVERED. Or, I will. Eventually. When I feel like it!

SHHH DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I DO WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT.

Even if that ends up screwing myself over in the long run. Whatever! It's my long run to screw over! SHUSH.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I haven't had much to say for the past few weeks. The last post I felt compelled to make was after I got hit by that car, which was pretty serious blog-fodder.

Well. I got hit by the puddle of scummy street water which the car drove through. REGARDLESS. Misery makes for pretty good writing! JUST ASK BUKOWSKI.

Speaking of writing. I'm writing again! And that's all I have to say about that. My only concern is getting writing-exhaustion before NaNoWriMo. I'll be all like OH HAHA I'VE BEEN WRITING LIKE 1000 WORDS A DAY BEFORE THIS, I AM CLEARLY ALREADY WINNING AND I--


..nope

And anyway, if writer's block doesn't get me, school probably will. OH WELL.

So today I was looking at the projected weather forecast for this week. The weather is supposed to start calming down and--

yes shut up I am talking about the weather. I can do whatever I want!

It's gonna be in the 80s all week, apparently? And by that I mean, 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Not like...time traveling back to the 1980s. Unfortunately.


So, with this in mind, it was decently sunny out when I left the apartment at 9:00, and it was still pretty warm when I got home at 12:30 for lunch. But in the few hours between then and my next class at 3:00, the weather BLEW UP and was like GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, SUN, NOBODY LIKES YOU GO AWAY

And the sun was all like WELL FINE I DON'T NEED YOU I'LL JUST GO MELT SOME POLAR ICECAPS LIKE A BOSS

And so the wind was like OH YOU WANNA PLAY THAT GAME? HANG ON LET ME JUST FLIP ALL THIS SHIT UP WITH MY FIERCE WIND POWER.

And then wind's buddy rain was all DUDE WHAT THE HELL WHY DIDNT YOU INVITE ME TO YOUR PARTY, NOW I'M GONNA LET MY FRIENDS LIGHTNING AND THUNDER COME WITH ME TO CRASH YOUR PARTY WHILE I PEE ON EVERYTHING

DID YOU HEAR ME

PEE
ON
EVERYTHING

Luckily that all happened while I was safely indoors during German class. By the time I walked home for the day at 5:00, everything was gone (and the sun hadn't come back either). Still, there was that undeniably awkward, still feeling in the air, like when you're really hungry, but your family is arguing in the living room and you'd have to pass them to get to the noms.

Now that I'm home I don't know what to do with myself! I've been stupidly sleepy for the past few days. I'm not skimping on sleep or anything. I'm not having TROUBLE getting to sleep. I'm just fine! So tody I'm going to try staying up really late, instead.

Because hey, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. And the truth is I'M GETTING TOO MUCH SLEEP. That's my answer and I'm sticking with it.

SOUNDS LEGIT

In other news, I have so far eaten a bowl of Lucky Charms, some chips and dip, and Rit Bitz cheese crackers.

And coke.

I REGRET NOTHING. I'll try to fit some kind of decent meal in there somewhere, later, maybe. If I feel like it! I'll probably stuff my face around midnight only to cave in and go to sleep with a full stomach.

But first, before all that, HAUSAUFGABEN.

That-...that's homework, by the way. In German! Except I don't actually have homework in German. If that makes sense?

IT'S HOMEWORK IN GERMAN, BUT IT'S NOT IN GERMAN.

What have I even talked about this whole time? Nothing? EVERYTHING? Nothing important and everything stupid. SO, JUST LIKE ALWAYS. I'll call this a job well done, crack open a nice cold soda because I am too young to crack open a nice cold beer and--oh.

I just realized I don't have anymore cold sodas.


Oh cruel world! These are the troubles that plague my existence...


(this is why I shouldn't blog for the sake of blogging. what is this madness?!)

In Which I Whine About Everything!

You know that feeling when you're going to be late to that really important thing, but everyone in front of you is walking reaaallllyy slowly and/or walking in huge horizontal groups that can't be passed? So you're just walking there trudging your feet like

YOU ARE A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING

But I only had one class today, which makes Monday my easiest day of the week by far. So I finally get to class and I sit down and I'm like

OK I'M HERE WE CAN START THE LECTURE NOW
GUYS I'M HERE IT'S COOL YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME
GUYS
G...WAIT
...GODAMNIT I'M 10 MINUTES EARLY

And I mean I guess that's a good thing but. Still. Do not want awkwardly waiting for class to start. You can't just lay your head down and nap like in high school--this is COLLEGE. If you come to class and the first thing you do is NAP, people think you're DRUNK or something. Or, I guess, were studying really hard for some test or something. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE THEY'RE THINKING
So I went with awkward waiting.


Then that class ended so I was like WEEEEEEEEEW FREEDOMMMMM, so many things to do, I am going to be the most productive member of society today, oh yes, you bet, I am going to do ALL the things and and and

LOL NOPE

I came home, ate like fifty baby snickers, and DIED ON MY BED

By the time I woke up, I realized I had like an HOUR till I was supposed to meet my chem group to do our lab reports. So I grabbed all my notes and other pertinent information and was like KNOWLEDGE ABSORPTION GOGOGO

I am a robot and I have no soul. ONLY KNOWLEDGE.

And so I walked out my front door, ran down the stairs to the ground floor, looked outside and thought WAIT.

IT'S KINDA RAINING.

I mean kinda kinda but, still. My first thought after that was UMBRELLA-MODE, ACTIVATE.

(which simply involves me running back upstairs to get an umbrella and then opening it dramatically in the street)

20 minutes of walking later, I made my glorious arrival at the library where we were supposed to meet. YES.



Except I still had like 10 minutes to wait. MORE AWKWARD WAITING. Finally I texted the girl in my group who had organized the whole thing, only to find out that the other two people in the group had...

(wait for it...)

...CANCELLED ON US

MY CREYS ;_;

But I determined not to let that ruin our super duper lab meeting, so for the next hour or two we basically finished THE WHOLE DAMN PAPER like a pair of BOSSES
 
But then when I stepped outside to start walking home, LO AND BEHOLD

SHITSTORM

OF WATER

FROM THE SKY

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

It was also dark out by this point, so I was like UUUUUHHH IT IS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT AND THERE ARE A BUNCH OF DRUNK/HIGH KIDS STUMBLING AROUND THE STREETS.

Do not want :C  But then my mom reminded me about this "safe ride" thing whose slogan is basically "Don't want to get brutally murder on your way home at night? WE'LL DRIVE YOU HOME INSTEAD ;D "

So I called! And called. And called. Clearly there was a massive influx of potential murder victims tonight, because the LINE WAS BUSY FOREVER. After waiting way too long for the line to open, I thought SCREW THIS, I'M JUST GONNA WALK HOME LIKE A BAMF AND I WILL DEFINITELY NOT DIE EVER

..and commence with the walking! All the while, pulling my hood over my head and tugging at my shirt like BOOBS? WHAT BOOBS? CLEARLY I AM A MANLY MAN OF THE MANLIEST VARIETY AND, YKNOW, DEFINITELY NOT WORTH MURDERING. NOPE.

And then rain continued to fall. The streets were literally full of water up to my calves, and I had to walk hella slow to keep my flimsy shoes from flying off. My umbrella was keeping me dry though (I had made sure to activate umbrella-mode before leaving the library), until SUDDENLY

A WILD SPEEDING CAR APPEARS!

BUGGUH CAN'T ESCAPE!




SPEEDING CAR USED DRIVE THROUGH HUGE PUDDLE OF WATER!

IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

 

No ok so, I didn't get hit by the car, but, STILL. I GOT HIT BY SUPER STREET WATER. I looked like I'd just jumped into a pool! There was street water in my nose! IN MY MOUTH. And what the hell is sight? I SEEM TO HAVE LOST IT.

I spent the rest of the walk with my umbrella held sideways to protect me from hella speeding-car puddle splashes. When I finally got home, I was just like WATER EVERYWHEEERRREEEEE



I also took my pants off immediately.

Actually..

I don't really know where I put them anymore.
