I was incredibly sleepy when I first went to bed about an hour ago, but now I'm wide awake and simply can't fall asleep no matter how hard I try.
Brian and I were going to move back into our dorms today, but I managed to postpone it because of some slightly terrible news.
Milkshake ran away.
Well, not really "ran away" per se, but more like, I let her outside to play on Tuesday and she hasn't come back yet. For me to be such an adamant dog person all these years, this is a big deal for me to miss this stinkin' kitty. I don't know why, but I don't want to leave without seeing her again and knowing she's ok. She managed to get under my skin without her claws, too, apparently. I miss the odd sensation of waking up to her climbing my window at 4 in the morning or trampling my face and licking my elbow. She's just so freakin' cute. It's been rainy and gross outside and I'm rather worried about her.
On another note, I'm really ready to get back to the Green. I don't know why, but I've just been rather BLAH lately. I can't put a finger on the reason. I feel like it's safe to say I'm not sick anymore, and the swollen lymphnode chain on my neck has all but disappeared, but I sporadically feel the need to just lie down and stay there. I'm hoping getting back into a routine of classes and such with jolt me out of this funk.
My goal is to find some kind of part time job in Bowling Green when I get back, provided I'll be able to take off spring break for which I mailed the deposit today. Brian will be giving campus tours, and I hope to not be sitting around being lazy all the time. Speaking of lazy...I definitely gained the freshman 15 while I was home over break. Probably just another reason I can't wait to get back to hiking that monster hill every morning. My calves have been warned.
I watched Leno tonight but skipped out on Conan, despite the fact that only one more new episode of his tonight show will be aired. Man, I am living through some great moments in history. And some pretty crap ones, too.
I love the support that's being poured into Haiti post-quake, but why did it take a tragedy to make us realize how poor this country is? Not that we can go back in time and fix it by any means, but if we could have poured in the millions of dollars a few years ago that we are now, maybe some of the infrastructure in the nation's capitol would have been more stable and able to withstand the quake; maybe they would have better technology and cleaner water and better medical care. Just a thought. It's all over the news now, but sooner rather than later I'm sure it will disappear just like other great headlines that still consume our citizens but not the forefront of our minds.
I have a lot to ramble and rant about tonight, but for the sake of your sanity, if not my own, I'll attempt to go to sleep.
