If Panera can do it, so can KKPsi!

These have been some hectic weeks.
Monday I turned 20 :D And at some point during the morning, I had to write the date. I got the 2 and 13 down easily enough, but then I took a few seconds since I almost immeditely wrote 1992 - that's not the year...
It was a pretty relaxed day - I just went to class and read all day :D After my troubles with the year in the morning, I was writing the date on my statistics notes and thought 'what's the date today?' Then I looked at my watch - which has the date on it - and laughed at myself...
After Stat, I went and read in Wesley for a bit and my friend John met me there. He got me Dragonfly in Amber for my birthday :D
Orchestra was fun, my friend Jacob gave me a Yoda card :D And then back at home Andrew offered me a birthday cinnamon roll - that was yummy. I love my friends :]
I decided that I wanted to watch a movie to finish off my day, so I watched The Lion King :D
All in all, it was quite a good birthday :]
Though it really shouldn't've been. I had a lot to do for the week, so Tuesday was when I started stressing.
Thankfully, the CS lab wasn't too bad. In between that and exec, the deposit forthe New Orleans trip was due so I went to pay that. I'm so excited! :D
As we were sitting around and talking, Lisa Jones and I were having fun with Disney Princess valentines and discussing how we didn't have time for boys. Jake and Mario insisted that if some great guy came along we'd make time - and we agreed - but he hasn't shown himself yet to either of us so for the time being we're too busy :] And Mario, while wishing me a happy belated birthday, asked why I didn't like people singing to me, like in a general context. I corrected him - if someone were to serenade me I'd be very happy (hint to that unknown guy that I'm going to make time for once he shows up ;] ) - I just don't like it when people sing happy birthday to me. Jake asked if I had a traumatic experience or something to give a reason for my dislike. I said that one birthday when people started singing I started crying, so that was a good enough reason for them :]
When I got home, there was a package waiting for me and I made a Valentine's Day playlist - Disney love songs are the best! :D
So a few days ago I got this email from the USPS that apparently my mom sent me something. My initial thought was - 'Yay!!' Then, 'she does remember that she's going to come see me in a week, right?' :D I guessed that it was most likely the Mary Kay stuff I'd ordered. Then, Tuesday when I opened it I saw Creative Memories papers and a gift bag, so I was slightly confused. I picked up the papers and saw a note fall - it's a Valentine's Day care package!! Yay! And perfectly on time too :D It was complete with: Darth Vader pez dispenser, soup bowl and plate, lemon cake balls (yum!) and papers for my magnetic thing on my wall. I love my family! :D I kept the bag with 4 cake balls and put the one with 9 in the common room - that's the nice thing about living in a house with 6 guys :D And everyone that had one of them really enjoyed them.
I decided against going to Wesley for the evening because I needed to get some homework done.
On Wednesday I had an extra half hour to get ready in the morning - my Spanish oral interview was at 10 rather than the normal class start time of 9.30 - and it felt like I had so much extra time! It was pretty nice.
Unfortunately, my tattoo was itching like a fiend, so I had to ignore that somehow.
Classes were... well, classes. And homework was... well, homework. Like I said, Monday shouldn't've been the day that it was...
Thursday I had a class and then went to Wesley rather than Aldersgate so that I would study rather than sleep for a day and a half in my room. As it was, I still took a nap on the floor of the conference room (yes, I was that tired).
And even after my nap, my thought process was something along the lines of: I should study formy midterm tonight, but ooh Lisa's looking at Hunger Games stuff and ThinkGeek :D My Star Wars keychain on my keys broke, so I was looking to see if they had any good ones. They have a LED lightsaber keychain that was nifty but unfortunately out of stock.
After my probability exam (which I bombed, by the way, but so did most of the rest of the class), I worked on my annotated bibliography for my com class and then had some fun on ancestry.com. The 1930's US Census was free to access this weekend and I actually found some people on it - I found the report of my Grandma's family in North Dakota :D
As I was playing with that, I was listening to celtic music. I like bagpipes :D And I can sleep in tomorrow! I don't have Spanish since my oral interview was on Wednesday.
Since I didn't have Spanish, my classes on Friday didn't start until 11.30 :D
After my 2 classes, I went to Wesley - Steph was back from Texas :] It was great to see her again.
After CS, I decided that I was going to let myself play Kingdom Hearts and not think about all I had to do that weekend and how little time I had to do it. It was quite nice - I love those games :D
Saturday we had our orchestra rehearsal. Andy told us to be there at 8.40 so I picked up Julia and one of my fellow BITs, Geoffrey, and we got there at about 8.35 - I live under the 'if you're on time, you're late' mentality, so I tend to be really early.
However, out concertmaster evidently woke up at 8.40 so he and the people he had to drive were all late. I felt really bad for all of them - Andy told them to leave the rehearsal and that meant they couldn't play in the concert.
After rehearsal, I had just enough time to do nothing before my mom and dad got here :D It was awesome to see them again, I love my family :] They gave me a teapot and I really want to use it, but I can't remember where I put the rest of my tea leaves so I can't have my English Breakfast tea from my fun new teapot yet...
That evening, Jacob and I had planned to go out and see the Vow. Back over winter break, Kristin and I were watching trailers for movies coming out this year and we saw a trailer for The Vow - we decided that we were going to get boyfriends to take us to see that movie :] That night, I got a message from Jacob saying that if I didn't have a boyfriend, he'd go see it with me - he wanted to see it too. It evolved into dinner, a dance at his church and then the movie.
So, Saturday night we went to Olive House - a Mediterranean resturaunt - and felt rather overdressed, I in my red homecoming dress and he in a shirt and tie. Oh well, it was fun :] And yummy :D
At the dance, we were mostly hanging with another girl from orchestra and having fun dancing. He kinda knows how to swing dance, so we had fun with that :]
And then we went to the movie, which was sold out :[ The next showing was midnight, so we decided to reschedule. Instead, he decided that I needed to watch Jurassic Park. And we weren't overdressed at all anymore :D
Unfortunately, it wasn't until I remembered that my mom had asked me to take a picture. Heh, oops, story of my life.
Sunday morning was time for more Kingdom Hearts :D Then I had my orchestra concert, and I stayed for the Philharmonic concert so I didn't get to go to Wesley.
I did have chapter, though. Plus there was a BIT quiz and lesson afterwards. Evidently Panera's international now - they've expanded to Toronto. Jason said that KKPsi should become international now too - if Panera can do it so can we :D
Unfortunately, it was a long lesson so it was 10 when we finished. And I had homework due today, so I didn't get much sleep last night.
You know your week is going to be a long one when it's already a bad week and it's only Monday.
Today I had class and then went straight home to study for my CS midterm.
At some point while I was in my room, I thought to myself 'why does my nose feel so weird?' I reached up to scratch it, then looked down and saw the blood on my hand. 'Oh, maybe because there's blood coming out of it, I guess that would be a good reason...' O.o
Orchestra was shorter today - since our concert was yesterday, and then the exam was as bad as I thought it would be so that was nice.
I was watching Seth play Skyrim and then Family Guy with Kyle, and now it's midnight and I haven't been getting enough sleep lately as it is. Like I said - it's going to be a long week...
Night :]
