i just registered for winter. hoooo boy, what a thrill that was.

so i'm pretty much fucked out of taking any psych classes i can take or would even remotely want to take next quarter because they're all 400-levels and therefore full. there are a couple 200-levels that might be handy, but they are both daily 8:30s, something i'm not willing to do for the sake of a class i don't actually need since i'm two classes away from my psych BA requirements. i'll just have to wait until i have senior standing, i guess. or hope someone drops. or something.

my tuesdays and thursdays are going to be SuperDuperCom days. i swear, everything that was both open and a journalism requirement is on tuesday/thursday. evil, kinda. well, it would probably be fine if those three classes, which keep me on campus from 9:30 to 5:20, were enough credits for me, but they're not. that is 14 credits. they are not even really classes i'd choose to take--communication and the environment; intellectual foundations of journalism. what the hell.

i am trying to not be a total slacker for a fourth quarter in a row (less than 15 cr.), so i had to do the general education requirement course search and came up with... a 3-credit environmental sociology class. it fits into the natural requirement, in which i lack, oh, 4 credits, i think, and might be vaguely interesting. assuming i'm not fucked. it doesn't purport to have pre-reqs or anything like that, but that doesn't mean it won't totally suck for me. also, it keeps me on campus my otherwise "free" days (although i'm sure i'll be working) at 9:30. every day!

anyway, this is a less-than-enjoyable start to what i suspect will be a less-than-enjoyable day. apologies for the lack of entries of late; maybe i will write more later on how i've been an anxious little flake and feel like crawling into a hole with a masseuse and dying.

i should write. what to say?

i was in a shittastic mood friday as i left work. i wanted to smash things. i don't know why the fuck i was in such a space. eventually, i calmed down, kevin came over, i cooked dinner, then we went back to his house. he was going to a show i couldn't go to, but i just hung out at his house for the evening. eventually i fell asleep. he woke me up when he came home and told me about the show, which sounded like a good one.

saturday, we went to olympia. i took kevin shopping for stuff he needed and to burrito heaven for a late lunch. my mom prepared this crazy vegan feast, and paul's girlfriend came. the food was excellent, as mom's food typically is, and we brought home lots of leftovers. black bean hummus is *brilliant.* paul's girl is crazy. it was a pretty good day.

sunday was a very sleepy day. i don't know why. kevin was trying to unpack his music stuff, so i helped by crushing boxes and doing dishes. i said i needed a walk, so he drove me to golden gardens and we walked. it was chilly, but beautiful. we came back and were still sleepy, so we took an accidental nap. it is weird to be making out and then fall asleep. i also decided i wanted to make pizza, which i couldn't do at his house.

after i woke up, i walked to ballard market, put an organic red onion in my basket, and wandered somewhat aimlessly for a good twenty minutes, during which time i determined they didn't sell appropriate pre-made pizza dough and there is some frozen sorbet stuff i really want to try. i really wanted coffee, but they didn't sell any that wouldn't, you know, require me to make it myself, which i can do at my house anyway. i put a bunch of carrots and three granny smith apples in my basket for kevin. i stalked the bulk bins until i discovered the crack--erm, i mean, chocolate covered espresso beans--and bought a small scoop to pop on the walk home. yum.

so then we went to my house and i made pizza. i made it pretty good for homemade vegan pizza, if i do say so myself. i ended up sprinkling some parmesan on my slices, though. :) we also watched brazil because kevin wanted to. it was good, better than the first time i saw it, which i was on one sleepy summer afternoon while doing laundry. we sat on the futon in the dark, talking until nearly 2am. i had no idea it was so late.

today i got up around 10, which felt pretty good. i didn't shower until noon, and i met chris for lunch after 1:30. we ate at new china express and i think i'm *still* full. the lunch special costs under $5 and includes a full plate o' food, rice, eggroll, and soup. ohhh man. since i still had a good 20 minutes to kill after wolfing that down, i insisted on coffee. tall cappuccino, mm. stomach... so full... uf.

i worked 3 to 6, which entailed closing since it's a holiday. i don't usually close; i think i've done it maybe five times in the year i've worked there. this time was somewhat of a problem because i couldn't find the right shutdown scripts for all the computers, and i don't think the main area got shut down. arrrgh.

music! is! cool!
