More pastries than you can shake a stick at.

Seriously. Estimated at 60lbs, and $300 worth of pastries sitting in my living room. Saved from the trash at Starbucks because none of us could bare to see so many freakin' food items go to waste. Hope the girls dont mind day old scones at crew. The boys too. So much pastry!!! (yeah, I used the singular form of that noun as the plural, whatya gonna do 'bou'dat?!) Needless to say I'm not very hungry for dinner. Ate some toast anyways, perhaps some strawberries or pita in a moment. Working for an extra hour and a half is not as bad as I thought it would be either.

My week is finally at it's close, and I still can't seem to find time to do any of the thigs that I need to do. I made a 99 cent store run and managed to spend $26 on stuff. Probably a lot I dont need; mom's right, I shouldn't go there un supervised. Matter-of-fact, prolly a bad idea to let me loose any where on my own. Still havn't been able to make it to the grocery store. I have enough carbs and startches, but as Kay so graciously pointed out, if I ate more veggies and fruits I'd probably break less often. Quite litterally. She said I would 'stop breaking.' I'll see if there's anyway for me to make a Whole Oats or whatever it's called run; according to Granma they're the same people as Henry's, but Henry's is just mostly produce (best at that) so NI'm hoping for some wuality items. The strawberries at the 99 cent store are rather good. As long as you catch them at the right time of the day you are golden for food. I swear.

And I found a Stitch-and-Bitch day page-a-day calendar at the 99 cent store too. I am way excited about that too. :)

Day 3

Missed day two because I left my house at 5:15am and returned around 11pm. 18 hour days are not my favorties. Needless to say, I will not be adding the bio lab lecture from 7-9:45 tuesday nights. Nor, do I believe, will I be adding nay more classes. 15+ units, + crew, + the bucks is more than adequat for me to handle I think. So, however much I want a class with Carla, and then Sara and Trina on top of that, and Valerie, I do not think it is meant to be. Crew and Crewing will be full time jobs in themselves, and boy! Did I miss the fun of trying to balance a sport with theatre! What times I had and am sure to have. I'm a little upset that I will have to crew on weekends, but that's teh grunt work I get to do before I can get to choose when and where I do what. It just better not mess with my birthday, thats all I'm saying.

And I've been stressing in both my classes today as we had to sign up for crew work, both for costumes AND make-up; luckily she wants us to do them on the same production. Lucky me. They are all a month or more long. Totally going to conflict with at least 2 crew events and then family things. Fantastic.

ON a good note, I swam my first timed 100 free today in 1:14!!!! I know that means squat to anyone reading this, but it excites me very much. For not having swum since summer, and then only breifly, and before that not since my senior year of polo, it is an amazing time. My fastest was a 1:09 my frosh year of high school. No joke. I am totally going to be swimming faster than that at the end of the semester. No problems there. The small things that keep me happy are sure to keep me sane this second semester of mine. Wish me luck!

Phase II begins.

And I so hope it's not a foreshadowing (boy, I have used that word so often today) of the months to come. It was crazy hectic, and I didn't even have crew this morning. Class, doctors, class, doctors lunch during class, checks deposited, lil reading time, class, jo-anns, dinner, shower, crash at 7:30. I even got up at 6:30 to make crepes for the first day of classes in order to get off to a good start. (probably didn'y help that I ate all of them.) So I have had a full day even though it was only syllabus day. Found out about 1-2 units I'll be needing more on top of the 18 I already have, and if it wasn't for crew I know I'd have no problem, but now I'm wondering if I should just not bother with bio like I had previously planned. I dont want too, because it's with Carla, but I dont know if I can handle that load that I have. Crew, other crew, work, school, so much mroe than I bargained for. I'll be at the school late, late, late for costume and make-up crewing and be getting up early, early, early for rowing crew. I dont even know what I am going to do with crew this semester, my knees seem to be getting worse, not better, and I got my results back today. No breaks, no arthritis, but a low platlet count. So I got another blood test (I'm getting better, but it still is not somethign I go to stress-free) today to see if it was just low that day, or if it's constantly low. If it's still low in this test, then they are going to 'refer me out.' Basically that means it's something the school can't handle and I have to see my own doctor and a hematologist to see what up and if it's whats causeing my knee pain. More than likly not whats causeing the pain, but that still means that we have a symptom but no cause and I'm not better nor worse than when I began. It seems as though this is going to be a longer process than what I though when I began. It's not a simple 'your broken' or 'your diseased' 'have some pills and PT,' so we'll see.

My costume class looks fun. Make-up too. And I am looking forward to swimming like no one's business. We'll see where the semester takes me, and I'm hopinh I'm not going to need my weekends as recoup time, but I fear they will be.
