I'M ON A DEADLINE!

This is, by a long shot, not my finest work.
Wobbly seams.
Lining is wonky inside.
Zipper was too long.
The whole thing is bigger than I'd anticipated.

But I still pretty much love it.




 "We got no troubles, life is the bubbles"


I think it's the lobsters.

Anyway, I'll probably tweak it a bit at a later date (ie. next week) but I'm on a tight schedule. I still have 2 and a half onesies to sew. And I have to pack and clean before I leave at 8am for a road trip with my dear friends and some ukuleles and a lot of fleece loungewear.

CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SISTER: I'M STILL NOT SURE THOUGH

A NATURAL DISASTER TO THE THIGHS MAYBE

I have one final left.
And about 6 boxes of Kleenex worth of sickness still in my body. Pretty standard really.
But I'm not contagious, and I wash my hands a lot (you're WELCOME world).
My two finals yesterday went as follows:

Astronomy
           8:00am:  These seats are assigned? Well I'm in the wrong spot...
           8:03:  I'm SO GOOD at filling out Scantron sheets! I wish I got bonus points for speed and accuracy in filling out my name and student number. Good start. Other than being in the wrong spot.
           8:07: I got this... I know most of these answers!
           8:14: Well eff you page 8.
           8:30: I think I have 60 of the first 90 questions most likely right. I can pass? I'm passing? I think I'll pass?
           8:45: Calculations... why are you so intensive? If you have more than one conversion and at least 3 steps I'm just going to guess the answer. I have a 25% chance of guessing right. I have a 100% chance of still not figuring out how to solve this problem an hour from now... Guessing it is.
           9:05: And that is as good as it will ever get. Thanks for that... learning experience.. physics..?

Incas and their Successors
      3:30 pm: Well I don't know any of this material.
      3:37: Yep. I didn't know a single one of those 40 answers. I'm failing the class? I think? I'm probably failing?
      3:38: Thanks for that... insight into my life?.. Incas? I still blame Zimmer.
       

Anyway, those are in the past. As is my take-home final that I wrote and handed in this morning (4 days EARLY!) And I just have Primatology left. I like primatology. I'm excited to review my notes and go over everything that I've learned! So excited that I made some cookies. Only 10. It was an experimental batch, you know how it is with new recipes when you're too broke to waste precious cocoa on a full batch of possibly Not-Worth-It-Cookies (they exist).
They're okay. They look like an experiment in plate tectonics. Hahahahhaaaaa, and they're on a plate. Have I mentioned that my sleep patterns are still thoroughly disturbed? Humour me. They're not my finest work, I'll probably take them over to the Boys' House and let them deal with it.

Natural Disaster Cookies... I wish I was more enthused about these. So much wasted potential.

In better news... my photography skills are improving? I think they're improving? Maybe? I'm passing?

UMMMM... INTERNET?

Why are there no pictures of carnivorous dinosaurs not shouting? No decent pictures at least, only like, shitty candids that nobody would ever want themselves tagged in because they're SO EMBARRASSING OH MY GOD GRADE 12.
It's not like this is a ridiculous request. I'm working on a thing and I just need a realistic t-rex looking mostly at the camera without its ginormous toothy maw hangin' open like Taylor Swift hearing she won another award.

Unless, you know, carnivorous dinosaurs were just super excitable and exclaimed everything all the time..."YOU GUYS! WHAT THE SHIT. I have FEATHERS!" or "ohMyGOSH IT'S STEAK NIGHT!"


"FOR THE RECORD: I AM NEVER DRINKING AGAIN!"


 I'm so on board with that. I can relate.










*Note, I did not draw this Albertosaurus (can you IMAGINE?!). It is merely an example of the Internet's multitude of wide-mouthed dinos.

DEAR BRONCHIOLES:

As Cee-Lo famously said (ABOUT A KAJILLION TIMES):
"Although there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best, with a f*ck you..."

Except I just want you to be better. Jeeze Respiratory System. BE BETTER.

10.4.12

BUT LUKE, MY INTENTIONS WERE GOOD! WITH BONUS REO SPEEDWAGON!

So I got home from work with the mindset that I would dig my astronomy textbook out from under the growing pile of dresses that I've sewn (what WHAT!) and complete my last online assignment (it's due tomorrow at 2).
I meant well.
But you know, I've been going on 4 hours of sleep total for the past 3 days and my allergies/cold is so bad that I just want to pass the eff out.
So I made some chamomile tea.

And took a bunch of Benadryl. Not suicidal amounts or anything (SO CHILL OUT MAN), just... a bunch.

You guys, I just spilled the tea in my bed and when I sat up to get a towel or whatever the puddle was mostly invisible and so I collapsed back on my pillow and figured it'll all be good whenever I wake up.

Also, I'm breathing like Darth Vader right now.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.

CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SISTER, A WILDLY DISAPPOINTING EXCERPT!

Siobhan says: I have sent a number of fantastic texts today
funny, on point,
good word usage
"Logistically" for example
and "resounding"
am I the only one who thinks I'm funny? Or that these are good words?
I wish you were actually available to respond and I wasn't just leaving you what are essentially typed voicemails.
Ahh well.
such is life
I just texted justin that "I will try my bestest"
and just like that, the glory of texting Dad the word "tutelage" earlier fades into oblivian

1.4.12

OH NO YOU GUYS TURNED ME INTO MILEY

I talk a lot as it is. It's just pretty much a constant flow of words from my mouth at all times, 65% of them irrelevant and unnecessary.
Turns out when I drink I talk even more.

WHO KNEW!?!

Also my friend was explaining to another friend that before I moved to Calgary I didn't drink. He apologized for unleashing the beast. The beast that can't be tamed!!!! 
On an average of one Friday or Saturday night every 2 weeks or so.
