i don't suppose anyone out there is willing to let me hire them to write my renaissance lit final? any takers? no?
3 weeks left of class and 3 weeks of exams. the next 3 weeks are going to involve countless hours in the library and little to no sleep. awesome.
and then before i realize it, i will have completed my undergrad. holy efff.
i'm a little scared of being done, but mostly excited. i'm ready to move on... mostly. as an undergrad, i'm comfortable with where i am, what's expected of me, and what i can get away with. i have no idea what the next year will be like.
today is st. patty's day, and there were definitely some drunk people in my 9:30 class. what the heck. most people in that class are in their 3rd or 4th year and i don't understand why you feel the need (or how you can even stomach) to be drunk that early in the morning.
although i did see one guy who had a cooler bag with him instead of a bookbag. i'm pretty sure he only brought beer to school today. i almost wish i were him.. haha
i have to redo most of my research for one of my essays and i'm pissed, because i was going to start writing that essay, hopefully today. not anymore..
i don't understand how it can be march already. last i looked, it was still january. now the end is looming ahead and i'm not so ready.

Merry Christmas.
I broke my back on Monday, sort of..
I have a nondisplaced compression fracture on one of my vertebrae.
It hurts.
It hurts the most when I wake up in the morning and it has been more than 4 hours since the last time I took some of my wonderful pain killers. Its hard to not cry from how much it hurts. I feel bad complaining about how much pain I'm really in, so I keep just saying I'm fine and hoping the painkillers kick in soon. And then I am pretty much in a haze for the next couple of hours, except the time between the last painkillers wearing off and the new one kicking in.
I'm almost scared to go to sleep because it's just 6 or 7 hours of dozing in and out of a somewhat painful sleep, only to wake up in the morning in nearly as much pain as I was in when I first hurt myself.
And I really dislike hospitals. I spent 16 hours there waiting for X-rays and CT scans and for the doctors to tell me that all I could do was go home and rest. I have to go back in January for another CT to make sure nothing pops out of place. That sounds great... please pray that everything heals well, and quickly. I have never been in so much pain in my life.
The chiropractor said I should probably never go tobogganing again.
Haha, but miss Rianna is loving it- her favourite Curious George story is the one where he goes to the hospital for an X-ray on his stomach because he ate a piece of a puzzle. Her favourite thing to do is help me take my pain meds- she asks me probably every half hour if I need to take them again.

So my computer completely crashed on me. I'm an idiot who doesn't believe in backing things up. I was also halfway through half of my essays/projects that are due in the next 7 days.
Suffice it to say, I have never been so pissed in my life.
So I took lappy to the Mac place here and explained my situation. I choked up a little and said something along the lines of, "This could not have happened at a worse time because it is the end of the semester and I have projects on there and all my class notes." The awesome Mac dude took an insane amount of pity on me and had my computer done the next day. But I got some bad news when I called for a progress report- they couldn't save my stuff. I choked up more than when I took my lappy in, the dude took more pity on me and said they were still working on my old hard drive and were going to get a quote from some hard drive specialist place in Toronto, but it would likely cost me at least $1000.
So I hung up, bawled, and then realized that as shitty as it is, I'm only missing 2 months of class notes from one class.
Almost everything else is printed out somewhere.
Then I felt better, and spent the rest of the night setting up lappy again- Office and iTunes, the essentials.
6 sleeps until my Christmas break starts.

On another note- this week is feeling super stressful, on a note not entirely unrelated to school. This is the week that I do major thinking about my future! I had an interview on Tuesday (I almost threw up, I was so nervous) for SOUTH KOREA. The interview went SO great. SO great. So that was good. Tomorrow I'm checking out Ryerson. We will see how I feel after tomorrow night... I'm going to guess with confused/conflicted/stressed/worried/unsure/uneasy/throwing up.
Yes. Great week.
But still. 6 more sleeps. Then I'm halfway done my last year.
And hopefully lappy doesn't die again this year or I will freak. And throw it across the room. And give up on Mac. :(
