feeling: really freaking hot
listening to: nothing
I didn't really realize till last week just how heat sensitive I am. It doesn't even have to be humid (but because this is Ohio, if it's hot, it's humid) - heat manages to send my mood crashing through the floor faster than just about anything else. I can't concentrate on anything but how hot I am, I can't breathe right, I get dizzy, I get headaches, I get ridiculously tired, and even being surrounded by fans on high power with a frozen-nearly-solid washcloth draped around my neck does no good. What's the point of all this? It is insanely hot this week. And I have to study. And I have to pack. AND I have to make this room spotless. All between tonight, tomorrow, and a couple hours on Thursday in between my last two finals. You can imagine how conducive the heat is to all this. I want my single next year... didn't really want the 3rd floor, but at least there's shade down there from the trees... no trees reach my east-facing 9th-floor window, which allows the early-day sun to just dance on in. Oh, speaking of that, here's a (not so) nifty little story. I woke up around 10 this morning, totally drenched with sweat despite the fan blowing full blast right by my head. Slept a while longer, woke up for good a bit after 11 - would've slept longer, but I just couldn't stand it. I stepped out into the hallway on my way to the shower, and there's this beautiful breeze flowing through the hall, cause the quad at the end of the hall had their window and door open, bless them. I wanted to stand out there all morning. But instead I took a long cold shower, then stood in the hot steamy restroom drying my hair, returned to the beautiful breezy hallway, then came back into this sweltering hot room. Couldn't open the door to get some of that air from the hallway, couldn't pull back a curtain to let some of the outside breeze come in through the window fan... because my roommate was still sleeping. I would've slept till 1:00 too, but... my God, how could she STAND it?? If I'd stayed in bed any longer I think I'd have had a heat stroke... Anyway, so I went out for some lunch to escape the broiling room, and when I came back she was awake and showering. Yay, door and curtains open! Not that it does much good at this point though, as it's now after 1:00, hottest time of the day. Oh, and the girls in that quad shut their door. -_-
Yes, that was long and whiny. For everyone else's sake now, I will mop up the sweat from the keyboard and try to relate happier things. :3
Ok, the good parts of my week so far... yesterday my Jap 231 final wasn't too bad. I'm pretty darn sure I got an A in that class. And it was air conditioned. ^^ When I got back from that I finally got to watch the first few episode of my Serial Experiments Lain DVDs that I've had for a week but couldn't watch till then. Trippy it be O_O Then later in the afternoon I went to a review session for biology, mainly because it was a free 2 hours (almost) of air conditioned goodness with no notes or exams to take, but it was also cool because it sort of conditioned my Japanese-laden brain with biology in preparation for that final. Didn't really get much else out of it... but just sitting there listening to biology talk for that long kinda refreshed my mind. Yeah. And... last night instead of studying and packing and crap, I listened to Silfy-chan and her sister testing their new computer mic for a couple hours XD Sjrtdfrt babeeehh~~ Aaaand today I got a little bit of packing done. Filled about half of my biggest suitcase. Hey, it's that much less to do on Thursday. :P I'll do some more tomorrow, and maybe tonight... and I plan to do a little Japanese 103 review tonight for that final Thursday. Oh, that's also when Iwami-sensei is gonna give me my T-shirt as a reward for participation and victory in the interpretation shootouts at the language festival last Friday >:D hoohah!
I think that's all the good stuff from the week. Except the unforetold future of course :P Umm, like, I go home in 2 days XDDD *flies around* Also on Thursday before we go home I'm gonna make Dad take me to Seafood Japan, the best Japanese grocery-type store in Columbus (so I hear), for some Pocky and various other goodies X3 Might try to pick up a kanji dictionary too~ umm and then, if Dad has the money, we miiiiight go to MicroCenter to get a network router so both of our computers at home can go online from the same cable modem :D We've needed one of those for a year now... blah. And finally, after I get home I will have access to a computer microphone so maybe next time me and Silfy-chan have a voice chat I'll be able to join in XD
Hmmm, I think my roomie and her sister went out for the evening... not sure though, they may have just gone to pick up dinner... wish I knew for sure so I could get some stuff done in this room that I don't like to do when she's here o_o like listen to my wonderful music nyahaha
...eck, my washcloth needs refrozen. X_X
