Another summary.

One day I was sad and a tad bit lonely.

So I bought a fish.

A male beta killer fish.

He is beautiful,

and makes me less sad.

Although he doesn't have a name other than 'fishy', he definitely has a personality.

He plays dead when he is mad at me, and is really good at it.

The padre almost flushed him down the toilet but thankfully waited until I got home.

I told him to just move the bowl a little and Fish would move.

But Fish ignored me.

Kind of.  He actually rolled a little bit and flapped on of his fins at me.

So I stuck my finger in the water,

and then he swam about, flared his fins in anger, and then swam to the top and played dead again.

Despite the rough start, Fish and I are good friends now.

He is no longer mad at me.

When I sit at my desk he swims about madly and then faces me while I talk to him.

When I stop talking he turns around and makes a bubble nest.  

Apparently that means he is happy, from what I've read.

Here is my impression of Fish.

In other news the padre tiled the backsplash for the kitchen.  

It looks beautiful, and has inspired me to do more cooking.

I made lunch for the week last night.

My apartment smelled delicious.

I have been thinking about the delicious lunch that is sitting in my lunch box for about an hour and a half.

I am really hungry.  

I also packed dinner.

I was planning on being on campus until later tonight but my essay got canceled so I get to go home!

Which is good because I have been sick and have been chugging this stuff so I can survive the day.

It has been a miracle worker.

So, there you go.

That is a super quick summary of some random events from the last few weeks.

The End.

Attempts at focusing - a few days in pictures.

Struggling this week to focus.  

I've had really bad headaches that make schoolwork harder than usually.

Plus I feel like an absolute idiot in my classes.

Oh well,  

I got in for a reason right?

Although if it was just to be constantly humiliated than I think I've met the requirement.

:(

So, this week has been beautiful, even though it has been hard.

I stayed up all night on Sunday writing a paper that was due at 9 am Monday morning.

I finished the paper at 7 am which is when I left for campus so I could print off my paper and the reading I had to also do before class.

Love the graduate student covered parking by the way.

As I walked up to campus I was really happy, and exhausted, so exhausted.

I got to the library and found that only 1/2 of my paper had been saved on my USB drive.

Thank goodness I had saved a backup copy of the entire paper on my computer...

...back home.

:(

So I ran back home, saved it to my USB 3 times, ran back to campus where there was no more covered parking, printed off my paper, skimmed the reading, and collapsed in a chair in my class to tired to focus on the lecture.

But it was ok, my paper was done.

After class and job 2 (I fell asleep in the class I TA for), I headed home, where I tried to grade but couldn't focus.

It was between 4-5 pm.

I had only been awake for about 36 hours.

And that is the last thing I remember.

I woke up at 11:30pm on the floor having no idea how I got there.

Then went to bed and slept another 6 hours.

On Tuesday I went to job 1.

It was beautiful in front of the museum.

I love it when I get the computer next to the window at work.  It is such a pretty distraction.

So, after a good shift at work I kind of crashed again and headed home.

It's not that the all-nighters are killing me,

the stress of life is killing me.

The muscles in my face and neck are twitching all the time.

It drives me crazy.

I'm just stressed.

But I went outside later in the evening to this beautiful sight.

So, there is a quick summary of my last few days.

The end.

Project 52

Late again.

Oh well.

:)

14/52

and

15/52

till next time!

My Twinkie shaped existence.

I have been sick.

Therefore, no dishes done.

Because the only dishwasher in my apartment is attached to my arms.

(my hands)

So, I dropped the siblings off to swimming,

swam a bit myself,

and then walked up to campus starving.

Where,

in a lonely little vending machine,

I discovered:

I took a risk.

I ate the bagel that looked like a Twinkie.

And my stomach will be happy until lunch.

I think these have the potential to be as 'revolutionary' as go-gurts.

Because really,

everything is better Twinkie shaped,

except me.

Speaking of,

why don't they sell go-gurts in the campus vending machines instead of those Yoplait containers with no spoons!?!

Now there is an idea.

Thank you Single Dad Laughing.

I clicked on a link this morning posted by one of my friends on Facebook.

I must admit at first it was a little terrifying,

but I did what he asked and read the entire article.

I am so glad that I did.

Here is the link to the article

and here,

and here,

and here.

Just in case you missed the first link, it is that important.

I think anyway.

And here on this blog, 

I basically only talk about what I think.

:)

So there you go.

I hope whoever reads it is as glad as I was,

and hopes that more people read it too.

The end.

Hey I am on time this week!

Awesome!

13/52

♥ It was exhausting, but I am loving life this week ♥

You sniff like an old Nancy Drew book.

So at the moment I am researching for a presentation I am doing on Friday.

Have I put this off?

Nope.

Life is that busy.

I opened one of the many books 

(it really is a bound lecture from a 1953 inauguration for an archaeology shindig) 

and looked at the due date slip.

The last person to use the book checked it out in 1959.

They also turned it back on the 10th of April 1959.

I know because it is crossed off.

And if they didn't return it, I wouldn't be reading it.

It also explains the weird smell.

This stagnant, dusty, woodsy, mystery novel smell.

The Nancy Drew books I read in elementary school had that smell also.

Not many read them either.

:)

But I did.

There was also a bookmark in the pages which I assume is from the same time.

So there you go.

I thought it was pretty awesome.

Oh!  I found out I get to keep job 2 for winter semester!

I was worried with changing class schedules but it isn't a problem apparently.

So the tale of Job 1 and Job 2 continues...

Oops.

Late again.

Maybe not.
