let me just say, i had the most most pleasant lovely little thanksgiving of my life. i could have been

a). the absence of my psycho family

b). overconsumption of wine and delicious food

c). learning that scientists and randoms are really the best way to celebrate any sort of holiday

or

d). that my sister is cool


now, i think all of these played a role. plus i think i love nyc 4eva. but, we'll see. thinking of applying to FIT, and various other institutions.

also thinking about my new nemesis. shes possibly the most crazy person i have ever come across, who seems to have a personal vendetta against the entire world. let it be known that her name begins with a K, and emotionally unstable people should not work with the disabled.

with the exception of two days in the lovely city, i have no life, and go from work, to school to a couple hours of sleep, and start again. but, it is pretty cool, because soon i will have lots of cash money in which to spend on you, or me, or me. or on bills.

i recieved my nano yesterday, and its so cute and silver, and i don't even have itunes on my computer, so i might show up at your house to see if you have any good music.

its a lovely day for another class, and then 10 hrs of work! enjoy the sun, you know it aint comin back once it goes.

next week, i shall annoy (e:terry) with my constant presence, and make him walk to the library with me, cook food with me, and have fun with me. he has no choice, he goes back to work soon, and there is much fun to be had...

last night @ work, a consumer(those for whom i work with), not a coworker, starting choking on his dinner. the other staff froze, and his face went from red to bright red, to purple.

in the haze of the moment, i jumped up, placed my fist under his sternum and just began to push. the food was dislodged, and thank god, he is ok.

im still in awe of the fact i have actually rescued someone from certain death. all these people at work call me a hero now.

and to think that i had forgotten about that this morning.

now matter how shitty, and tired i feel, i fucking saved a life. and that makes me feel damn good.

the Heimlich does work. learn it, and use it.

i went out last night, which was good for the soul, and has some bonding time with an old friend. its wierd because we don't hang out that much, but, he is a really great person to be around when im going through a rough time, and thats just what i need right now.

i just don't understand why, when one thing goes wrong, it all goes wrong. im having major trouble focusing on school, or anything for that matter, but i must pull through, because when i get through this year, i can start to think about applying to schools, and where i wanna be, which is kinda exciting. very exciting actually. and scary too. but im proud that i feel like ihave so many choices now, compared to a couple of years ago, when i was so helpless.

my brother called me very early this morn, begging for me to take him to the hospital, and after a day of getting these calls, i sucked it up and took him. i was extremely tired, as i had a late night, and am still not feeling well.( did i mention that i puked in the pizza place this afternoon?) classy, i know, but now im paranoid about the mono thing, as i now know two people who have it. one of which is my poor sicky little brother. i feel awful for him, and want to help him, and its just so sad, and he got into a huge fight with his gf, who he lives with, and might come stay with me.

plus, i have so much fucking work this weekend...and i now feel bad about leaving for ny on thurs if josh is here with no fam. help?

i have to make a decision in the next hour of whether or not to resign statistics.

the good news is that it will not take me down to p/t status, and my financial aid will not be affected.

i will just feel like i've failed and let myself down. i've really tried, and it gets me so frustrated, because i just suck at math.

why did i think i had a future in speech? i'm taking (e:tina)'s advice and pursuing design. i think i will be much happier actually taking courses that interest me, and not trying to conform because i know speech would be a good career. some friends have told me that if im good at what i do, the money will follow, and i think they are right.

this doesn't mean i don't want to take and sort of speech classes, because i'm very interested in sign language, but all of the math and science will overwhelm me, as it already has.

lesson to all: don't try and be something your are not.

• and in fashion news, i will be recieving my new monster cutie boots in just a few days!*

i have no time for fun, or sleep. i have 60 hr work weeks coming up, in addition to so much school work, and everything else.

i kinda feel like im gonna collapse. but at least i get to see my sis soon. hopefully she isn't sick of me by now.
