I was rudely awoken by the sound of fire alarms going off this 'morning'. I don't know why yet- it's 4:30AM as I'm typing this... So I flung myself out of bed, got dressed, grabbed my cat, shoved her in her backpack-carrier, grabbed my keys and wallet and booked it with the rest of the building. It was hot and humid as most summer nights in Florida are. My cat yowled the whole way down the stairwe... » Continue Reading
Writing this entry at 8 am waiting for this volunteer event to start. It's so hot. So hot. Way too hot for 8 am. Florida summers are hell... I can't even practice photography because it fogs my lense over! >:'( Either way, waking up at 6:30 on a Saturday is an interesting use of my time, but this event is pretty awesome since they drive you in a bus to your volunteer site. It takes out all the anx... » Continue Reading
I have like 5 minutes in class where everyone is working on something I already did, so I'm going to do a short blog/diary update. It's been a long week so far- especially yesterday. I drove all the way back home, packed up my car, and took my cat to the vet. Then to the pet store. Then to my dorm. Honestly, I think she was more tired than I was after the whole ordeal. She doesn't like cars- [she ... » Continue Reading
Writing an entry because I feel like falling asleep so bad. Worst part is that I have the longest class of the day in like 30 minutes... I'm gonna be struggling to stay awake. :') So far my first day of sophomore year is going well. Algebra class is laid out a bit weird- its in a lecture hall with these weird dinky tables, which sucks because its a flipped class. That means we take notes at home a... » Continue Reading
Updating from a friends room. We're all hanging out. Im a bit tired- entirely unprepared for tomorrow. I made some cookies for the RA meeting. First time I forgot egg, second batch ran into the meeting time. Oopsies... I think I made a good first impression though. And now I'm offering cookies to everyone I meet. I have way too many. I didn't do much today. Explored the dorm building, tried to fi... » Continue Reading
Today was such a huge day. It feels like a bunch of days smushed into one. I think I started writing a blog post earlier and got distracted - it's probably still archived on my computer. Or maybe I posted it. I can't remember. I drove completely alone for the first time today A round trip to my house and back. I feel a lot more confident than before. The only notable mistake I made was slowing dow... » Continue Reading
Woke up at 7 am naturally... What the hell is happening to me?! I can't tell if those sleep meds worked or if I was just really, REALLY exhausted. Either way, I was rudely awoken by a horrible cramp in my leg, so that's nice. Having a window is amazing. At home, it's covered entirely by a hurricane shutter that hasn't been moved since I was a kid, so I don't have a passive view of the outside worl... » Continue Reading
Well, I'm here now. Back in college, in the dorms. Still doesn't feel entirely real, but it's starting to hit me now. I forgot so many things at home. Things I packed even- like the box of books I wanted to start reading, the power cord to my CD player, my LITERAL SCHOOL ID - It's a bit of a pain- but hey. I'm finally here. I got a bed, my medicine, soap... Basically everything I need to survive u... » Continue Reading
I came home from getting my library card renewed to find my cat in a prime loaf position! Absolutely incredible form. Very proud of her. » Continue Reading
In a previous post I said I'd upload some pictures of my cat- so here she is! She likes to sleep next to/on me when I use my laptop in bed. She has a habit of attempting to sleep on the laptop rather than in front of it, though... » Continue Reading
going back to college on the 15th and i just feel so stuck. ive been at home since march and ive done essentially nothing the entire time. i dont have any motivation to do much of anything at all. i just feel. stuck. im scared that i'll not be able to function as an adult alone. everything is so dependant on my mental state, and it feels like i dont have control over myself. my perception of reali... » Continue Reading
Anyone else take their cat out for walks? I harness trained mine as a kitten- but only recently have I started taking her outside. She enjoys it- but unfortunately we live next to a major road and the cars make her anxious. Aside from that though she really seems to enjoy her time outside. I'll probably make a more detailed post in the future [alongside pictures! ^^] about walking my cat, but I'm... » Continue Reading
