Well, I survived my tests (I think). I have no idea how well I did on them, but at least I've survived the first on-slot, and it shouldn't be this bad again. My prof's are at least decent enough as to schedule their exams in advance and put them on the class syllabus, unlike my 3rd class. Speaking of Organic Chemistry, that test is coming next Friday; happy happy, joy joy. I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am about that one.... Oh well, today's a very blah day anyways. I'm starting to get worn down a bit from my schedule, since right now the only times I have a bit of a break are on Wednesday after my lab, and Friday after my class. Damn it, I like my sleep! Pandy (http://pandoraanesidor.blogspot.com), my hamster's new mom, has got the right idea on that one for sure!

There's not really much new in my life right now as it is. We are expecting more snow (YUCK!!!!), it's cold, the groundhog has come and gone, leaving us with 6 more weeks of winter (gee, we couldn't see that coming from a mile away). I'm at work today, and bored (again). I should be studying, but just can't concentrate right now. I think I'd most like to be able to leave, and go to Phipps for the chance to be around some green growing things for a bit, but they'll be closed by the time I'm done with work. I think I'll be happiest after tomorrow is done, since I'm busier during the weeks then I am during the weekends, and I don't have as much time to just sit around and think. I will also be much happier when tomorrow is over; everyone at my office is in a tizzy because of the Superbowl. I helped decorate the entire office for a building competition (which we didn't win), and I don't even like football! I think the most fun I've had is sending my father a Steelers’s scarf for the game, as he's in Seattle now, and surrounded by relatives all routing for the Seahawks. I think the Seahawks are going to win, but saying that around my office is like a death wish right now :-) My manager is one of the "lucky few" going to the game - I think she won tickets from the drawing. I'd have sold them to save up some money; those tickets are going for outrageous prices right now.

Hmm, Phipps. That might be why I'm depressed right now as well. V-day is coming up, and the gardens are a lovely place to walk in the evening, plus Phipps puts on a nice celebration, not over-the-top like some places do. However, since I broke-up with my boyfriend a while ago, there's no one to go with me that could appreciate the atmosphere. There's a guy I'd like to maybe go with me, but I haven't a clue how he feels, or even if he has someone already. Also, after 5 1/2 years with the same guy, it's difficult to remember how to go through this dance!

Alright, enough depression! I think I'll distract myself by getting some books during lunch. That'll give me something to do today and tomorrow, since it's way too quiet here at work!
