Current Mood:  awake
Well, it looks like I'm up for the day. I think this has to do something with the fact that I pretty much slept through yesterday, due to an enormous migraine I woke up with.
To recap the past few days/weeks of my life: I quit my job and am looking for a new one whilst taking a break from the world of labor; I got accepted to Santa Barbara for the Winter Quarter, and now have to decide whether I want to move down there or stay up here; I have decided to stop missing class, and will hopefully be attending all further classes this semester (it's only 2 months, how hard can that be?).
It's really hard to convey how much happier I am now that I don't have to go to work. It's not that my job was the worst in the world - far from it. My job was actually kind of fun, while I was there and while I wasn't trying to diffuse any customer-employee or employee-employee situations. And when I wasn't getting yelled at. But it really caused me a whole lot of unneeded stress, and also, the pay really, really sucked. I'm sorry, but $8 an hour when you are trying to support yourself going to college is way, WAY not enough. So hopefully I will be getting a job here at the computer help desk for a bit more, and with a lot less resulting stress.
The whole Santa Barbara thing is a confusing mass of.. confusion. I was expecting to hear back from them way back in September, and didn't, and so wrongly assumed that I'd been denied enrollment. Boy was I wrong. I got in, and now I have to really think about what I want to do. I don't know if the Poli Sci program there is any better than it is here; I don't know whether or not I'd be able to find housing down there; I don't know whether or not I'd be able to find a well-paying job there; and I don't know whether I really want to leave all of my friends up here to go to a place where I only really know one person, who I most likely will not spend any significant (or insignificant, for that matter) amount of time with. So, in all likelihood, I will probably be staying here. Even though I severely dislike my next-door neighbors. And think two of my roommates are pretty crazy and quite the slobs.
I really, really, really need to go to all of my classes. I'm falling behind in my Japanese class, and having problems understanding a lot of the grammar points because I don't go to class (and also because I don't study enough outside of class). I think I may be in the negative points in my Poli Sci class because I've missed more than 5 classes by now. And I think I'm down a bunch of points in my Philosophy class because I haven't been there to turn in homework. Piano is fine because I've played before, and because I haven't been missing it lately. Chemistry... is confusing, but seems to be going okay. I should be fine from here on out.
So, yesterday I ended up sleeping until 2 or 3 because when I woke up I had a really shitty migraine. This means that when I tried to go to bed at about.. 11pm, I ended up waking up at 1am, and seem to be up for the rest of the day. I think this means I'm going to crash into bed later tonight after I get back from a meeting thing I want to go to, which is good because I'll get good sleep and sleep through the night, but bad because I'll be really freaking tired driving back from said meeting. Me being tired while driving is never a good thing, since I already have issues driving at night.
Argh, there's still 6 hours before my first class. I guess I'll go do some homework... |
