It's OVER!

Writing I is no more! The good news (besides the fact that it's over) is that I got 100% on my last quiz, 100% on this huge vocab assignment, and I think I did REALLY well on the final. I'm so excited. That is all.

Monday's over... another Tuesday.

This particular Tuesday is actually quite special to me. This Tuesday marks the end of my Writing I career with the semi-despised professor whose name shall not be revealed for fear of angering him before final grades are posted. That's right, I have my final in exactly 2 hours and exactly 2 hours later (well, maybe less than 2 hours) I will be done. I will be done and my fate will be in his hands. That's a really scary thought come to think of it...

The rest of the week looks promising. True, I have a big test tomorrow and a big test on Thursday but after school on Thursday will be fantastic! I'll watch a bit of tv before practice, I'll go to practice, I'll come home, I'll work on/finish my layout and then there's a pep rally Friday!It might not sound exciting to the rest of you but I'm completely thrilled. Plus our first basketball game (or at least the first one w/ cheerleaders) is on Saturday. I haven't decided whether or not I like the idea of cheering at basketball games yet, we'll see.

My advice for the day: Sit back, relax, and have a nice cold glass of orange juice.

The thing about Tuesdays...

The thing about Tuesdays is they never seem to be significantly... significant. Freshman year "Only on Tuesdays" was my main response to, well, every question or statement.
"Do you wear yellow?"
"Only on Tuesdays."

"We go to knitting festivals a lot."
"Only on Tuesdays."

It was just a fun thing to say that made people laugh. Today I realized how mundane most Tuesdays are. I mean, c'mon, they're NOT Mondays. Mondays are the days we dread on Fridays. Wednesdays are the half-way mark-- you make it to Wednesday and you know you can get through the rest of the week. Thursdays are often stressful because everyone wants to get to Friday, but all of Thursday you know that Friday is only one day away. The significance of Fridays is obvious and I don't feel the need to describe them. Saturdays are great days to catch up on sleep, get some work around the house done, and stay out late with friends. Sundays tend to be relaxing. People go to church, finish up some homework, watch some movies, and mentally prepare themselves for the coming week. Then you get back to Monday. Tuesday doesn't fit too well does it? I suppose the only thing that can really be said about Tuesdays is that it's the day AFTER Monday, so you've become used to the idea that you're back in the weekdays.

So I know what you're thinking. "You write blogs about the days of the week?"

Only on Tuesdays.

Last night...

ended very well thanks to Glenn :) I enjoyed sitting on the curb outside of starbucks fearing the closeness of the headlights of cars going by. You made my night!

Lonely Day

A good song by Phantom Planet. I'm a bit lonely right now. It's only 8:37 and my night has ended before it has begun. The usual suspects are busy: Alli's in a show, Lindsey's at a show, Deannie is having dinner with her family, Kyle and John are in Big Bear, Emily is busy, Cathy and Jeannette are probably cruising, Ryan is at a modeling thing with his girlfriend (which he made VERY clear, almost defensively, as if i was interested in him or something...). Blech. I want very much not to have to be home in an hour. I want very much not to be here now. But on a happier note, I'm taking the SAT IIs tomorrow morning. Sad that that's the happier note, isn't it?

If I'm not alive in 24 hours...

it's because I've died of a malignant ear tumor. I have this strange knot in my earlobe (I'll give no more details, other than the fact that it HURTS like crazy) and while discussing this issue with Alli it was suggested that I may have a tumor. We were throwing the idea around as a big joke, whatever, but I did a bit of research and it turns out there IS such a thing as an ear tumor. Check it:

Tumors of the Middle Ear

Polyps and Granulation Tissue of the Middle Ear: Polyps can develop in the middle ear. As such, these are not necessarily benign tumors. They look like balls of inflamed tissue which form grape-like clusters within the confines of the middle ear and mastoid. These polyps generally are reddish and bleed easily on vacuuming or any manipulation. They may be indistinguishable from more serious problems of the middle ear and mastoid. If they do not respond to medical therapy, polyps should be biopsied. In most cases of advanced polyps and inflammation of the middle ear, surgery of the middle ear and mastoid will be necessary.

Oy.
