Worst. Two. Days. Ever.
So yesterday, I developed a cold. This is because the temperature dropped a good 20-30 degrees between Wednesday and Thursday, and I rushed out to class without looking at the weather widget on my desktop, so I was wearing short sleeves and my thin hoodie. All day. Because at that point it was Thursday, and Thursday is my no-time-to-do-anything day, which meant I came upstairs after religion and CS, dropped off my laptop, and ran back out to the studio. I think, between that, lack of good sleep, and the fire alarm being set off at around 9pm because one of the guys burned popcorn and forcing everyone to wait outside in no clothes for ten minutes, I woke up yesterday not feeling quite right. But I'd already skipped a set of Friday classes, last week, so I got up and went. By the time I got home two hours later, I was ready to die. -_- I talked on the phone with Mom (the laptop will be fixed during winter break) and Craig, and decided I needed a nap. I don't recall exactly what time this was. I think I ended up getting off the phone at two-something. I didn't wake up until almost seven. (My first thought: "Well, so much for going to Art Alliance's first meeting." Which was at 5pm.) Emma went to a dance show they had at the theater, and I stayed behind because I knew I'd be a sniffling, coughing, miserable mess, and ended up missing what was probably a great show. (Keigwin + Company, I believe, is the name.) Emma thankfully went back out to party, so I was left alone to work on homework. Eventually that turned into a marathon session of HetaOni watching. New obsession. I'm torn between being patient for the author to upload new episodes, because she is from Japan and they had/have a lot to deal with after the quake and tsunami, and ripping my hair out. It's that good. But anyway.
And TODAY. Oh gods, today. Today sucks.
My body's been acting really strangely lately, I think because of the stress of a new environment or schoolwork or something. Long story short, and being vague (but not vague enough--TMI, menfolk), something was supposed to get here early this week. Something started to come two weeks early and then disappeared. Then it showed up again, and disappeared. It did this three times. I've been wasting supplies because I didn't know when it would come back. Guess when it came back, with a freaking vengeance? And the extremely aggravating thing is, because it wasn't normal this time, I have no idea what day I'm on. It's been on and off for two weeks. I'd guess (hope) and say four. With my luck? One.
So, I'm sitting in bed, sniffling and achy, waiting for painkillers to kick in, and hoping that MAYBE this crap will go away so I can actually get some work done. What I have to do at the studio is going to take several days, and I have to have it done by Thursday morning's class, which is not my class, but the one before it... which really means I need to have it done by sometime Wednesday. Also have a math project that I forgot about, that I've had for a week now, that's due this coming Friday. And I have lots of studying to do for tests this week, and I'm in the process of rewriting that religion paper. CJ is a sad bunny right now. CJ would rather be drawing or writing at the moment. ._. I might actually do a little of that a little later. Right now, religion paper. I need a good one and a half more pages of material, I think. I wish we didn't have to write it from the student's point of view. It's so alien to me. ^^; I am happy to be in bed, though. I'd rather be sitting in my bed than on a hard chair, or worse, one of the stools in the studio. My back does not like those things at all, and because I'm always looking down at my work surface, I get serious low back pains when working in there. I wish they had a chair that could sit as high as the stools do; I could use something with back support.
Plus side? CS homework is done. Programs weren't all that difficult. Although I did have a bit of an issue with the outputs. We had to write a program to ask the user "Is it raining?" and "Is it freezing?" and give four outputs based on the answers: "Oh rainy day" for rain but no cold, "Oh cold day" for cold but no rain, "Oh great snow" for both, and "Oh sunny day" for neither. I could get every output to work but "Oh great snow". When I removed the first part of the if statements (the "raining" part), it worked. So, as a workaround, I just moved the bit to display "Oh great snow" to the top of the if-else part of the program, and it works. Prof didn't say that part has to be written into the program in order (yay, loopholes!), and I'll explain it to him if he asks (at which point he'll look at it, tell me exactly what was the matter, and I'll slap my head and feel like an idiot). What matters, I think, are that the outputs work, and they do. It's probably something very simple that I'm missing, but I couldn't work it out. And originally I had three boolean variables (which was part of my trying to fix the output problem--I added an extra boolean for snowing), but then I looked at the assignment again and realized I could only have two. Removing the snowing boolean didn't affect the program at all, so it's something with the order. For some reason, if I put "raining" first, it doesn't connect raining + freezing to equal snowing. But ANYWAY, screw it, the outputs work. More important things to deal with!
Later, if I feel better, I am totally going to Weis and picking up some chocolate syrup. I've been able to have chocolate milk, but out of a machine. I need some real chocolate milk. And maybe a thing of ice cream. I totally want some ice cream that's not in one of those huge tubs that I have to break my arm scooping out of. ^^; I might get more of those small Stouffer's lasagnas, too. I had one last night, because I skipped breakfast (as usual) and didn't go to lunch because I didn't feel like going back out, and missed dinner due to sleeping... and I figured I had to eat something, so I finally took one of the lasagnas out of the freezer and nuked it. The small one's actually better than the 21-oz one. The smaller one has more types of cheese, I think.
Okay. Back to work. I am determined to get the religion paper and my math homework out of the way today so I can focus on starting the math project and glazing my teapot. And studying for tests.
