Seems the Gods of all things academic (and otherwise) are smiling on me.

The deadline for the paper that I’ve been procrastinating on has been extended until Wednesday. This means that I don’t have to try to write it in a fury this morning, or take any late penalties for handing it in tomorrow. I can also focus on the take-home that’s due tomorrow (that definitely won’t be extended).

I brought my boyfriend’s car in this morning to finally get the damn dash reparied from the break-in, and the guy at the shop was nice enough to give me a ride back home so I didn’t have to walk in the rain.

I ordered the Trading Spaces book - it has been shipped and should arrive in 3-5 days. That’s what I call some quality summer reading! Although I do still have to tackle those curtains.

I’ve been casually firing off resumes as I see things that come up, and I have an interview next Monday. I’m not going to say much more about that for fear of jinxing it, but it should be a good start into job-finding mode. If nothing else, it’s good practice for other interviews to come.

And to top it all off, there are cute (and soaking wet) landscapers wandering around outside my window. So I think I’ll go make some tea and enjoy the scenery

I hate mood swings. In the past couple days I have gone from being absolutely elated - feeling on top of the world - to hating everything.

I can’t really pin it on anything other than the fact that I’m due for another blast of hormones in the next little while, but I still think this stinks. I’m also becoming incredibly clingy and whiney again lately, which not only irks me, but it pisses off those near and dear to me when I inflict my neediness upon them. Ugh.

This crazy mood has also awoken the shopping bug. Not the good bug that says “let’s have fun and go shopping and get those things you deserve,” but the one that says “lets fill a void with meaningless retail crap that you can’t really afford anyway.” Thankfully I squashed that bug before it inflicted too much damage on my wallet.

I don’t even know what else to say, I’m really just rambling because I’m procrastinating on the paper that’s due Monday. I think I’m gonna take this little ray of sunshine inside that I know is dying to get out, and treat her to a bubble bath. Perhaps that will improve the situation.

I suck.

For everyone who received a stupid stupid e-mail from me, I’m sorry. Apparently I’m the only other one who missed the memo about the hoax e-mail going around.

The part that sucks even more, is that just after I sent this out, I got an e-mail warning me of the damn hoax. Couldn’t that have arrived about 5 mins BEFORE I made an ass outta myself?

*sigh*
