I’m not bothering to futz with it tonight. It looks pretty and I’m sleepy so whatever!

Reading Week has officially begun today, although it didn’t really feel like it since I had a midterm this morning at 10am. I missed it on Wednesday because of snow so I took it in the boardroom of the Economics department (History of Economics for you curious folk) with another guy who apparently missed it. There was supposed to be three of us but the third person never showed. That sucks! The test was worth 30%. I guess s/he didn’t feel that 30% was worth coming out to Ryerson today. I certainly did. I think I did fairly well, as well. I knew everything that was on the test and wrote as much as I could, I guess that’s all I can really hope for.

All in all I think I’ve done fairly well thus far in the midterms. There haven’t been any that I have come out of feeling like I’ve totally bombed but I’m hesitant. I’m weary of feeling confident too early because it’s a fairly well-known superstition that the midterms you agonize the most over, you do the best on. Well, for the most part at least. I’ve had midterms where I knew I did poorly on and did, indeed, do very poorly on them.

Oi. I feel like I’m not making any sense. I’m probably not, so I apologize. This is all mostly verbal diahrrea that I’m enjoying writing. To be perfectly honest, I sort of didn’t do anything today. I was supposed to since I’ve only got six more days left in the week and several essays and two midterms following the break but it felt so nice to finally stop rushing around that I kind vegged all day. I know I shouldn’t do it again tomorrow so I’m going to set up a list for myself tonight. If I can get through that list I’ll be quite happy. I guess I should go do that now.

I’m trying to figure out one of these Wordpress themes because they’re oodles of pretty. Perhaps I can make it a little more “Olga” and a little less generic. Let’s find out!

I should be in bed, I really should. 12:30am and I’m not asleep? I have class from 10 until 6 tomorrow night. I have a presentation AND a tutorial. I should be in bed. Oi.

I can’t stop listening to Chris Daughtry’s new single. I don’t even watch American Idol and I want to do this guy just from the sound of his voice. What can I say? I’m a sucker for Top 40. Does that make me a bad person? A sheep? Perhaps, but at least I’m a content sheep.

Ooh, now it’s Christina Aguilera’s new single. I’m totally listening to Top 40, what’s up with that? Where’s my Tiesto, I need to change this ….

There we go. Anyway, so I’m supposed to be in bed but I’m still winding down from my final shift at the Sev. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this but my store has been shut down by the Corporation since we’re not making a high enough profit. I’ve been moved to a store that’s up on the mountain. This makes it slightly more inconvenient to get to work now but at the very least I still have my part time job. I didn’t know until today that I was moved and not laid off. I guess it’s a good thing. To be honest, I’m so busy with school that I wouldn’t even be that upset if I was laid off. Of course, I would look for another job so this saves me some time. I should look for a new job anyway because this one’s pretty shit but I guess my focus really isn’t on anything that isn’t academic right now. I mean, I haven’t seen my boyfriend properly in ages, it seems. I do school work while at work, it’s insane. I’ve barely been on the Internet this past while too.

I guess it’s a good thing but I’m hoping this doesn’t lead to me totally crashing and burning. I’m aware that this momentum will more than likely stop eventually but I don’t want it to happen when I most need it (IE, when I’ve got essays due).

Tomorrow I’m going back to the gym and back to choir. I haven’t been to choir practice since school started and I don’t want to quit. I really have no excuse either. Two hours on Monday evenings, an hour after classes end, is not the end of the world. I need to suck it up and start going back because it’s fun and I get to learn songs I would otherwise never have had the chance to sing, damn it. So yes, I’m going back.
