I just cracked my neck and my whole spine cracked and it felt -amazing-.
I'm not bothering with going home today, mainly because this is my last class this afternoon and I really don't care to have one hour at home doing dick all. Instead I am going to finish off my dream journal and work on lab reports.
Just wrote a test. don't think I did too hot. Oh well, not sweating it. I will do well on everything else. >_>;;
Seriously, back feels so much better now.
2 weeks left. I am ecstatic.

Well. So. I am sooo screwed. XD I don't have a job for January, so it's looking like Tim Horton's till I can find one. The MOE isn't hiring students because of budget restraints. Fuck, I'd hate to see my department right now. XD XD;;; Eff. Eff eff eff. But I am not freaking out.

FANKS!!

And once again I am understanding why I always preferred to play boys in the intarwebs. People, to some extent, believe that is what your gender is if you don't say otherwise. Maybe not entirely, but then they also don't find it necessary to hit on you. I like that.
Take, for example, Second Life. I am a girl. I made my avatar pretty awesome looking thanks to the help from my friend. I have been messaged a dozen times by vampires asking if I want to be one, or just by boys hitting on me. I have also got a backhanded comment(that was directed at someone else, but was still a knock on the girls wandering around) about how since I'm so pretty I must be hideous IRL. Or ridiculously obese. Or something like that. God, people are dense.
My tummy is a grumbly. Hardcore grumbly. I want Arbys, but it requires clothes. I would also like McDees but once again, clothes. I need someone who will go out and satisfy my whims and cravings.
This has been an odd week. I've had ups and downs and right now I think I'm on a particularly high note. I did really well on all of the tests I got back this week, and there are two weeks left of the semester. One of my professors gave me a glowing cover letter for my application to Royal Roads, and my mom is a little less on the freaky outy side(though still trying to convince me not to do it...).
I think I am going to bare the cold, put clothes on and go get Arbys. Then feed kitties in a few hours, then collapse into a ball of balliness. I have to remember to actually GO TO SCHOOL for 8 tomorrow, for the job searching help class thing. Dramatic sigh. It will be a long week.

Oooh my gosh. I just found the motherlode of geekery on SL. And space museums galore. And a whole bunch of stuff about NASA and so on and so forth. Hello, I am geeking out.

I NEED FRIENDS ON THERE. There is so much coolness! I also need money. ;_; Once I have a better financial situation, I may indulge myself. ._.

holy effing hell, Criminal Minds. Way to really sock it to a person. ;_;

My glasses are broken(just one of the arms) and I need to take them to get repaired. I also need to find a job, get my Christmas shopping done and flip the fuck out about what I'm going to do with myself for the rest of my life. I'm seriously considering a program at Royal Roads in Victoria. It's a year-long program and it looks -awesome- and I really wanna do it. My mom, on the other hand, doesn't want me to. Despite the fact that it would only be for a year. And I wouldn't be staying in Victoria for forever.

Meh.

We all know my eventual goal is not even to live -in- Canada anymore, when I'm ready, let alone live in Ontario. I want to be on the warm, sunny west coast, where it rarely snows and the climate is pretty decent all year round. I don't wanna be stuck here in the cold, wet snow. I hate it.

Tralalalala. I dunno what to say. I am watching Christen and Andrew's fluffies this week. They all seem skittish, except Mae who is all comfortable to come lie on my jacket and then get mad at me when I need to go. Hahaha. They're adorable fluffies.

Oh. And zomg. My birthday? Is soon. Yay birthdays yay. I like them.

I found a recipe for caramel fleur de sel macaroons that I want to try, but I've 1. never made caramel before and 2. have never made macaroons before. Scary concept, right? I think I am going to give it a shot and hope for the best. I just need a whole bunch of stuff, first. Like an immersion blend. Haha
School is almost finite. Exams starts in two weeks from tomorrow, though I have my first exam next wednesday. I really need to finish off my dream journal, too, and a whole bunch of other things. Arg. Gotta make myself a list.
Not much else going on in the land of Nicci. I can't believe the end is near. I think I have decided I really, really want to go to Royal Roads for a year, to do their fast-track BSc in Environmental Sciences. The classes sound awesome, and I think it would be great. They also have a two-year program for Environmental Management, which is mostly online. We'll see, I'm going to get all the stuff for both and try to make a decision then.
I did really well on my last polymer test, and i am proud. Thank goodness. I think I can totally pull off a B+ in that class, now.

I have freezeable lube cubes. WTF am I supposed to do with those?
Yes yes, I know what you do do with them, but remember who it is you are talking to.

They finally finished the bus lanes to york. Cuts ten minutes off of the trip, it's pretty awesome. They're still working out the kinks, and every person in the world is bitching about it. Uhm. Hi. There have been signs up for a week. Way to not read them.

Yesterday was frightening in the lab. My professor's wife is having their baby, so he wasn't there. We got one of the school's lab techs as a sub. Oh. My god. Please, be a little less of an asshole? Jesus. Every teacher in that school is incredible, understanding and wicked. This guy? Diiiiiiick. And of course, the entire class really has no idea what is going on because our teacher at least explains little nuances to us before letting us loose. Like they would do in a real lab, y'know. So they know what you are doing and know it's not their fault you were improperly trained when you fuck something up, y'know. So everyone relies on my instincts, and I hate that. Even if I am doing it right. Fucking teachers are so self-righteous, too. Assholes. All of them. Fucking glad I'm not in BTR. They just gawk at you and make snide remarks to each other. Oh, I'm sorry I'm not in your pretty perfect biotech program, why don't you give the sixth semester students a little confidence.

Besides that unfortunate class, everything else has been fine. Three weeks left. Hopefully Carlo is back on Monday. We have a test monday in biochem, and then we have to check on our cultures.

lolololol my alarm turned itself off and I was almost late to get here. Thank god for body waking me up.
I have more confidence in myself to get through this program now. Woot. I WILL NOT FAIL. RAR.

I am so tired right now. Probably because I went to bed late(around 4 or something?) and then woke up around 11-11:30 to go downtown for the Santa Claus parade. That was fun, though, and I picked myself up some Vancouver 2010 mittens. :D I likes them, they are comfies.

This week has been a touch busy. People visiting, going out and doing things, closing in on the end of the semester, studying for tests and beating myself over the head. I need to get some lab reports and assignments done, as well as study for one test this week, three the week after that, and another exam and test the week after that. And then... the rest of my exams in 4 weeks time. Oh, and finish my dream journal and also do another take home test for that class. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS DO THIS TO YOU AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER?

I think I'm going to get an A in two of my classes, a B in two of the others and hopefully a B in the third. As long as a own the next test, the exam and all of my lab reports I can do it.

And then I'm done. Done done done. Done like dinner. There will be no more classes after that, no more school to worry about, no more anything.

..... I'm so scared, you have -no- idea. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I might blow up in anxiety by the end of the semester, watch out. I have no idea what to do with myself. I guess job hunting is the first place to start. I have a pretty good resume for a kid whose just graduated school. 8 months with the Ministry of Environment, 4 months with a company I hated... I could get another 4 months with the ministry, I think. I need to get in touch with Erik. And then work my effing ass off. And hopefully eventually get a contract or a full-time position. I still want to do my water testing stuff, though, and eventually move somewhere with a warmer climate(IE: California? >_>;;;)

Also, that is all. I am having a minor panic attack. I am good at those.
