Bah!
Sooooooooooo....
It so feels like a Monday...but it's not! It's Tuesday! Hooray, and only 25 minutes left in Tuesday! Ripon is, of course, boring, but tomorrow I have a list of things to do. The soda machine downstairs ate my dollar, grrr, but it's not like there was any good soda in it to begin with! Blah to them being out of Code Red - one would think last week was midterms, or something. :)
Anyway.
Rented Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid yesterday - yay for fall break movies. When I'm not working, that is. I really don't want to write any papers, but alas, I have two of them due before the week is over. I hope Andy has next Tuesday off, 'cause I only have chemistry that day, and that would rule. Especially since I don't get to see him next weekend. But hey, whereas I was once somewhat disappointed about that, I have since gotten over it, since both of us are going to have fun-filled weekends anyway. He's going to visit his brother and see Bob Dylan in concert and it will be fun for him, so I'm happy! As for my weekend for halloween, I'm going to see a jazz pianist on Friday night at 7:30 in Demmer, then SAM SHABER!!! at 10:30 in the Terrace (and hopefully can catch the end of the opening act - none other than Ripon's own Lily Duncan!), then going home again on Saturday, going to hopefully get my pics from CP scanned and put on a website or yahoo photos, have an oboe lesson to make reeds!!!, and then go to a dinner/lunch on Sunday...yeah pasta dinners! Ah, the things that make me happy. Mwa! So anyway...the point of this originally was that I hope Andy has Tuesday off, and not like, Monday or something. 'Cause that would suck. A lot. Only 'cause Monday is my "run-around-like-crazy-and-work-all-day" day. :)
Soooo yeah. I'm kinda pissed right now. I really don't want to go into details, because it will be another one of those "Lauren, you're really dense and naive!" things, but I try to be optimistic and look at the bright side. I hope that I am right on trusting my instinct here, because otherwise I'm going to just be PISSED. But I'd be definitely lying if I didn't say that the situation just makes me really mad. I've finally gotten to a point in my relationship where I am happy, and felt that we were on the road to recovery from the breakup, the nasty fights we've had for the past two weeks or so, etc...and now this. The only thing I have to say is that if I ever meet the other person involved, I will be nothing but extremely nasty. It hurts me to think that maybe there are people out there who just want to sabotage things - wasn't it enough that we broke up once??? Or maybe I'm just dumb and naive, and I'm going to get hurt later, but I don't think so. At least I hope not - once was enough.
Sigh.
It occured to me the other day that I haven't seen Adam since JULY!! Gah! Where did the time go??? His 22nd birthday was on Saturday, totally escaped me, so I forgot to call him. :( Maybe tomorrow night, so he doesn't think I'm a terrible friend!!! Adam was one of the two (aside from my parents) that I celebrated my 21st with, then we hung out later during the weekend I was home too - it was great fun. And of course I missed him on his birthday, and have forgotten to give him what I got him this summer...blah to me! Hehe. Anyway, maybe next Saturday night I can go hang out with him at Marquette or something, that'd be cool. Yay for a weekend at home...
Maybe I can see Kevin too, that stupid butthead. I haven't seen him since my 20th birthday, and haven't really talked to him since May! Stupid butthead! :) Ah yes, I'm so mature, calling someone a stupid butthead. Oh well.
Well, it's getting to be bedtime for Lauren, pathetic, I know. Maybe I'll watch some more movies, then Garfield at 1am, then bed. Or maybe it'll just be bedtime tonight, since I have to get up early tomorrow so I can go print out the registration form for registering to vote so that I can vote absentee in Shorewood, since it needs to be postmarked by tomorrow. Blah to me forgetting on Monday, all the crazy running around (and packing, and forgetting things). That and I need food, since my room is extremely sparse (and nothing is appetizing, ramen was good this summer, but now...).
That and I need to practice, that being the whole reason I'm up here till Thursday anyway!!
