cookie monster

Today is awesome because I have, for some inexplicable reason, been eating cookies all day like my life depends on it. I mean really like mad. I have absolutely no idea where this massive cookie-apatite came from, but hey, a girl can indulge every once in a while. However.. it might be the lack of coffee and needing something else to keep me going.. I'm not sure. I hope that's not it, because if it is I'll be a whale by the end of lent, and something tells me that that's doing it wrong.
I also saw a good friend of mine when I got off the train on my way to class, that was pretty awesome. I hardly ever get to see him anymore because of our different schedules and high workloads (I'm not entirely sure about his, but mine is like the bloody Empire State Building). He's still amazing.
Sometimes I miss having my friends close. I'm so bloody busy all the time that I don't know where I'm supposed to find the time to see the few friends I have left that aren't in my classes (or even my university).

Rats and family

Today is awesome because my grandma and my aunt came to visit. I don't see then very often (very little, tbh), so it was really nice to see them. My brother gave my aunt and me a tour of the animal facilities at the university where he's conducting some behavioral tests on rats, that was pretty awesome as well. The rats were very cute, it's almost too bad they'll be gassed when the experiment's over.

40 days

Today is awesome because I've sort of formally decided to complete what I've started sort of half-arsed: Lent. I'm giving up some of my food and drink luxuries until easter:
- Coffee
- Soda
- Alcohol
- Cigarettes
- Chocolate
- Licorice
Honestly, I think the coffee is going to be the hardest, and the licorice after that. I'll really have to remind myself not to eat that. I'm also giving up sugar, but only when it isn't already in the product (like adding sugar to my cornflakes).

Been a while

Today is awesome because I managed to drag myself out of the house to go to class. I've got the flu, and I really don't feel like breathing, let alone listening to a boring lecture (which it really was) for two hours. The professor just went on an on about the divisions of the Carolingian empire and then concluded with the comment that it really all didn't matter, because the empire ended up as a whole in the end anyway. I mean seriously!
Then, to make my day better (and this has no sarcasm, mind you), two of my colleagues agreed to each take over half of my shift for Saturday because I'm sick, so now I don't have to go to work (which I was dreading quite a bit). I won't be able to get all my studying done this week, but at least I don't have to torture myself bu sitting behind a cash register for eight hours.

Long day is long

Today is awesome because I saw my classmates again; today was the first day of classes of the second semester. I'm dead tired, so that'll have to do. Long day was long.

shopping fail

Today is awesome because I went shopping w/ my mum. Turns out all the shops in the city we went to were closed, and the same happened in the second city we went to, so eventually we decided to just call it a day and take the train home... But it was a nice day out nonetheless, surprisingly. Next time, we'll make sure the shops are actually open though!
