Sicknessssss

Once I made that category for doctors when I had that braces issue in like June, I never thought I would use it again. I was wrong. Basically, I’ve been sick since the second week of October which if you can’t do the math, is about three weeks. The first week I had migraines. The second week I had a bad cold. The third week I’m pretty sure I had the flu. That’s right, I got a cold AND the flu back to back. Well it might have been h1n1, I dunno, it was some sort of flu-like sickness.

This past week alone I have been in the school’s medical centre twice, and in a hospital. Not to mention it was the first time I ever threw up in a sink. Which happened to be in a fully occupied, public washroom.

Today when I went to the hospital instead of writing my midterm that I had, I was stuck waiting for about three hours. In those three hours I went from REALLY bad, to normal because you know, it was three hours. But I realized something… Stress is a bitch. And apparently has been winning the battle for all of October.

Other than that, the first week I got sick happened to coincide with the beginning of interviews.And let me just say I am SICK of interviews, holy hell. I had 3+ interviews a week, every week, for a month. Oh god. So many missed classes… Gah!

I know I said last week that I would celebrate the end of midterms by doing something on the site, well I spoke too soon. I happen to have a programming assignment and an entire lab to do for Monday :) So screw the fact that I was hospitalized today, I got work to do! =D

Ha ha.

Kill me now.

Oh and before I forget. Happy Halloween!

One More Week

One more week of busing everyday to school in the morning for an hour. I’ve been taking the bus everyday since the first day, September 14 and I only have one more week to go before my dad finishes his course and can go back to his regular work schedule. I’ll be able to sleep in until 8 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then until 7:30 on Tuesday/Thursday. That’s amazing.

In other news, new layout :o I still want to change the sidebars a little bit. I don’t like the bars of blue. But for now this will do since I have about a million other things I need to do. I did some work on EOE today, mostly back end stuff that the users will never see. I updated the layout for Angela’s and I’s administration panel and fixed up some queries that weren’t working right.

Now I’m in my second year of university and this semester is supposed to be the hardest one. I can now see that since there is so much to do and yet you only have 24 hours in a day to do it. I feel like, if days were 34 hours long, I would probably be okay. But for now, I don’t have any room of spirit and time so normal days will have to do. (5 stars for anyone who gets that reference.)

Also I’ve been spending some time the past couple of days thinking about Yuri and Shikamaru and all the different things that could happen to them in about… 8 chapters. I’ve also been listening to some Naruto music and it’s put me in a really anxious mood to write chapter 15. I’m about half way through it, I just need to finish it. Perhaps after midterms I’ll celebrate by writing… Or I’ll procrastinate by writing. *Cough* I mean, take breaks from studying by writing. :D

(How do you think chapter 10 came out in like a day? lol)

And I’m thinking of either writing up a program do something, or adding something to this site. Not quite sure what I’m going to do yet. We’ll see.

Anyways, I got stuff to do (as always). Bye~

School has taken over my life? NO WAI

Yes. So unfortunately I’ve befallen the tragic fate that is the ‘my-life-is-so-busy-with-tests-and-interviews-everyday-that-I-don’t-have-time-for-the-website’-itis. Ok, so I do make some time here and there as I have a brand new version created for version 3 of the site. The previous PSD wasn’t really working for me so I scrapped it and started new. I think it went pretty well and I plan to code it sometime in the near future which will probably be in… Ok. Let’s just say near future.

Aside from school work and interviews I spent all of Saturday figuring out how to dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Previously I had Windows Vista Home Premium on it, but since my school gave us the release candidate for Windows 7, and since I’ve been meaning to install Ubuntu I figured why not!

Now that I am the proud owner of a linux operating system I plan to try out this LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) environment that all these employers seem so eager to have. Also, Linux = Win.

I’ve also spent some time working on my stories. I’m hashing out the tiniest details about my characters now as I try to figure out which way to start the prologue. Today I discovered that one of my characters takes sleeping pills. It made so much sense I don’t know why I didn’t realize this sooner.

Anyone get the new Paramore album? For a good solid three weeks I listened to The Resistance from Muse on my long and horrible bus rides in the morning, but then when I got Brand New Eyes I found I couldn’t stop listening to it. My personal favourites include Misguided Ghosts, The Only Exception and Playing God.

One more thing. Why did the driver’s test examiners have to go on strike two weeks before my scheduled test on September 4th? And why are they still on strike now on October 13th? And why was the next available time for a test November 26th? BAH.

EDIT: New layout up! I’ll probably mess around with it a bit more, but in the meantime, enjoy!
