(Dear friends who have actual blogs with actual points, I applaud you. But if you hadn't realized this yet, mine is not a blog like that. Mine is a "boredboredbored, here's what I did today" blog. So... yeah. Yours truly, Me.)
Alone time sucks. Wow. No wonder I was lonely so much last year. I went home and there was nobody around any more, just **POOF** alone. And I'm getting a reminder of that this weekend.
I've got a lot of time to think, and nothing to think about. And with everyone else's relationship drama away from my line of sight, I'm left thinking about my lack thereof. And as it turns out, social interaction with my friends is difficult without an actual source of income, as all anyone ever wants to do is go out to eat or go to the movies or go somewhere not free. I've spent way too much this semester and I have to get my budget back on track so I can pay for essential things like, y'know, tuition and textbooks. And I'm already cutting it kind of close, as it turns out.
Yes, I'm being whiny. Yes, I've brought most of this on myself. So I will now switch to a more optimistic note.
I took part in the nationwide celebration of masochism known as Black Friday shopping. The original plan was for Roomie 6 and I to go down and meet up with Shannon in Texas. Roomie 6 was going to pick up a friend who went to her high school, but who is at school in Texas. That friend actually had another friend with him and they drove separately. Shannon had to bail because she got home late last night and had to work later today. But 6 and I decided to go anyway and meet up with her friends and Galleria Dallas (big mall, kind of higher-end stores). Neither of us slept beforehand except for naps that we took around 10 last night. We left at about 3:30 a.m., with 6 driving, got there around 6:30. Shopped. It was all relatively minor shopping. Most of what I bought was for myself except one very small Christmas present. 6's friends are nice. I drove 6's car back while she slept, so even though her nap last night was shorter, she was then winning for total sleep. But I took a really long nap when I got back, so it was fine. I'm still pretty sad that Shannon bailed. And now I'm eating dinner alone. Pasta, with sauce. Which is probably what I'll be eating for the next three weeks, so I can actually stop spending ridiculous amounts of money.
The apartment is clean for when 1, 2, and 4 get back. A few dishes left, but I'll get those taken care of tonight. And... some homework to do. In fact, kind of a lot of homework to do, and mostly tonight. A bunch of lab data to analyze and graph and such. And... some research to read for a paper. And then I have to start figuring out if the library has the books I need for this paper. And if not, I need alternate sources of research. Long paper... can't wait. Oh wait... yes, yes I can.
Grouchy Sarah is grouchy.
