Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Have I said how great it is to be doing something useful? Time really flies when you have a fun assignment. All I've done today is find a nice template for a website, but it's almost 4PM already!

*mumblegrumble*

Floristry test tomorrow. And practical floristry lesson. I dislike that subject so much the prospect gives me stomachache.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

*slams ring-binder shut*

I must stop studying, or I'll either throw this crap out of the window or go bang my head against the wall.

I know my dislike for Floristry is totally stupid and irrational. It's not even that difficult, but I just can't stand it. And now I'm in such a bad temper, and should study for other tests as well, and look after my brother, and it's all I can do not to yell at him to shut up. *gnashes teeth* He'll go to bed early today.

Also, I'm feeling very restless and cooped up right now, which might have to do with going for a long walk on Saturday, or a conversation with the Only Nice Classmate today, which involved going for walks, or my stories, which also involve going for walks... in any case, I've been pacing around and around this stupid little hole of an appartment for the past hour, muttering floristry crap to myself and wishing I could go outside, which I can't because of my brother, and anyway there just isn't anywhere to go to in this stupid place.
I hate it here. And I wish school were over so I could go to work again.

Sorry for ranting.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Also, my mouse is sticky, and my keyboard is greasy, and it is disgusting. I feel as if I constantly have to wash my hands. (Then again, maybe it's just my hands. I felt the same way in class. Still, ew. I think I need gloves to type.)

I've cleaned mouse and keyboard. Maybe that'll teach me not to eat at the computer (but I'm afraid it won't).

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Also, I'm a very mean big sister today, putting my brother to bed an hour early. But I just can't deal with him any more today.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

*waves* Hi sick Em! Hi grumpy Magpie!

I have had a very nice day. I slept in, practiced yoga, had a lovely coffee and breakfast on the balcony in the surprisingly warm morning. In honor of the kind weather gods, I skipped the gym and walked to the library (30 minutes away), and did some research for my book. I found some fabulous books about moons and fairies, and sat reading one very interesting fairy book, which gave me all kinds of ideas.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Back from the shower. Feeling better, but I'm not going to study any more tonight. there's always the train tomorrow.
Instead, I'm trying to come up with a name for my main characters' Elaborate and Ambitious Plan.

Sounds fun!

My guinea pig is getting loud, a little upset I haven't fed her yet.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

One of them is now insisting their headquarters of sorts must be called "the Nuthouse" and it actually makes sense. So I'll leave those nutters alone now and go to bed (I already have a group called the Ivyleafers, and vaguely remember some other Plan with nettles, so using another plant name seemed a good idea.)

That's good. Being sick sucks. :(

Although I haven't been sick in about three years... :P
