soooooo something's up with my laptop. it won't connect to the internet. every time i try, it says there's an issue with the network adapter drivers or hardware. so i tried to take it to the g2g help desk, since it's under warranty, but when i got there it was close to 6 and the stupid thing closes ridiculously early at 2. so i'll be dropping it off when i come to class tomorrow morning.
WHAT THIS MEANS is i will be online very little for the next week, possibly more. which is really not good for my english paper, but i have that backed up in, like, 2 other places so i should be good.
in other news, i completely finished 3 of my silk scarves and did the resist on 2 more. i finally have a sort of idea for my math final, though i have way too little time to do it in. i'm gonna try quilting a hypercube. we'll see... at least i have my own sewing machine, so i can work on it all night if i have to/no other idea comes to mind. i wish i had an iron though... also, maintenance finally came and put up this neat metal grid thing over my window so it won't get broken again, and they futzed around with the back gate so it actually swings.
NO PICTURE because yeah. i left my ehd at the house, and i'm in the library right now...
but hey, at least with no internet to distract me all the time i can get a ton of reading done!

bibliographies? what are those?
procrastinating like nobody's business...
i did something in odosketch today. because i haven't in a while.
thusly
i ordered a woot shirt today. it's a tv that says 'read' and under it says 'a book'. not sure why i did that...
i decided it was finally time to upgrade the ipod. partially because i have way more music i would want to listen to than will fit on 3.77G. partially because i lost the usb cable again and can't change the music. partially because i'm feeling unsatisfied with the functions of the mini. so i stuck a green nano in my amazon wish list to buy once it's march. because i have 5 transfers already, and that thing is $160, and i still need to paypal utilities to liz.
so, last night someone broke my window. i feel like i've explained this way too much... but yeah. i was going down the front stairs on my way to ceramics and noticed a large hole in one of the panes. i called the office during class, and when i got back they had duct taped over the hole until they can replace the pane. which they were supposed to do today, but i guess the rain delayed them. bullshit. but what scares me the most is that no one noticed the window breaking during the night. i slept right through it, liz was up all night and didn't hear anything, and ces is basically right above it and heard nothing. luckily nothing was taken, but still.
shay is making a whale in the lobby of the fab tomorrow - i mean today. the structure was up yesterday, and it was pretty sweet. i've got class during the construction time, so i'm going to cut through the fab to and from my afternoon classes to see the before and after. AND THEN I'M GOING TO IHOP WITH ANGELA AND NICOLE FOR FREE PANCAKES!! awesome.
grosse-averse has returned! there was a new chapter in le lys & la rose-verse, and a new chapter in 'into the face of the beguiled.' i was excited! gosh, i've missed her writings.
i had veal at shafer today. it was tasty.
and i really don't want to do this annotated bibliography, which is why i'm still typing. i'm trying to finish the one i started that was due last thursday that i skipped because i wanted to sleep. and i've got 2 more due this thursday. why is this so hard for me to do? grr...
usa beat canada at men's hockey last night. i wanted to cry. at least the women's team is doing awesome, as is both canadian curling teams. and canada just got another gold today for ice dancing, a first for them.
ok, for serious. time to do work.
gosh, that's a lot of links today.

end!
well, finals week is pretty much over for me now. i just have to stick around until dad can come get me on saturday.
my jewelry final ended up... okay... the construction went well, and i'm happy with how nice and clean it turned out, after i pretty much killed myself to get it done in 3 days. but then i went and painted it without really having an idea of what i was doing. and i'm unhappy with the paint. extremely so. the crit yielded the same thing, that the construction and ring itself was well made, but the paint kinda ruined it. and as soon as i get it back tomorrow i'm going to figure out how to at least remove the paint... i hope my grade won't suffer too much because of that, i really need a B...
as far as textiles went, i didn't finish my piece. i ended up being 3 layers short, but i don't really think that detracts too much from it overall. really, only i know it's unfinished. adrian was sick though, so we didn't have a crit - just set up our pieces in our room and left. i'm picking it up later today, along with paying the last of my supplies fees. i'm pretty confident with my grade there, as i spent wayyy too much time on that stupid thing. my hand is still aching from all that crocheting. i spent a fun-filled weekend of watching movies and crocheting. i got through the entire extended lotr trilogy [though, not quite all at once. i had to sleep some time], followed by catching up on 'house' and then 'emperor's new groove'. yeah, really random.
oh, maintenance! yeah this has been fun...
last week i finally emailed maintenance about a couple problems with the basement: mold and leaking. what prompted me to email them finally was during a super-heavy rain storm, i peeked into the storage room and saw water pouring in from the back corner next to the window. like, i was watching the water rushing in. really bad. they show up the next day, which i'm pretty sure is the fastest they've ever shown up. they made plans for how to go about fixing this.
the next day he shows up with a rented dehumidifier and comes back a little later to bolt and putty the deck to the house so water will stop seeping in through the wall. i figure that'll definitely cut down on the leaking, but i wasn't so sure it would stop completely. the next day he comes back with a high-powered fan and some mildew spray for the back wall. well, that's still in there [and it's kinda loud too...].
last night it rained some more, though not nearly as much as before. i looked in to see if the wall was still a problem, and i found a small hole in the back wall with water trickling in. well, now i know where the water's coming in from. i emailed them again last night, saying i would point it out to them when they came to take the fan back or whatever. so i'm waiting to see if they show up.
i attempted to cram for my bio final last night. it... sorta worked. then i came to the conclusion that i could not remember anything chemistry-related on such short notice and figured i had everything else down pretty good, so i proceeded to get distracted by the newest season of 'top gear'. nicole showed up at some point, and there was a small celebratory party upstairs - liz finally opened that bottle of wine that's been in the fridge almost since we moved in. i went to bed around 2, since i had to get up by 7 for my final, so i'm not sure how long they were up.
but when i came upstairs for my breakfast i found nicole sleeping on the sofa. not even pulled out, just curled awkwardly on it. i tried to be quiet as i was bumbling around. it's really dark at 7...
the final went pretty well, though there were a few questions that i had absolutely no clue about so just picked a random answer. but i think i knew enough to squeak by with a C, hopefully a low B, but we'll see. my current grade is just under a 74, so i hope this grade will be better than that 65 on the second exam so my grade will improve at least a little bit.
also, it's 1 and nicole is still asleep on the sofa.
not sure if i should put this here, but yasha has a creepy stalker who is threatening him through anonymous texts. that doesn't sound bad, but they are really creepy. i really hope nothing comes of them...
but in good news regarding my guy friends, mark is finally really super officially dating becca! and it's cute. so yay!
and i'm making plans to drag emily into hetalia - as soon as she gets back and is somewhat recovered from jetlag and such. i'm not that heartless, i wouldn't dump something as soul-sucking as hetalia on someone still working on school work. i'm surprised it hasn't affected my school work much. and they are actual plans, like, i'm planning out what to link her to first. i'm not bringing up the coms unless she's really interested in them, because god have i been completely sucked in.
i just remembered! i might be working wellness at MOMs because they're down to only 3 people there and they could really use the help. i know fred is going to talk to ellie about it. it'll certainly give me more hours, though it may hinder those nj plans somewhat. we'll make it work, i do want to do that trip. [haha....] i'm just nervous about wellness because it's so specialized and i know next to nothing about it. i'm not sure how much help i would be, but we'll see. i at least know where everything pretty much is and a few things i remember from that week back when i was first hired.
and now i think i'll end my rambling with a random pic from my growing collection of hetalia stuff.
yum otp! by the amazing iraya-sama. seriously, i stalk her.
