Today seemed super busy....this whole week has been like that so far.

Hopefully things will settle down soon.

I was supposed to get up at 6:45 this morning to be ready to register for classes at 7:00, but I woke up at 4:45 instead and couldn't get back to sleep for another half hour or so due to the worst clogged nose I have ever experienced.

It sucked.

So I finally got to sleep and was probably in a deep sleep for about 30 minutes before my mom came and woke me up again to register.

I felt like death, but managed to get myself up and wash my face.

Registering online was ridiculous. There were probably at least hundreds of other students also registering at that time, so the server was really lagging.

Very frustrating.

Good news is that I got into all of the classes that I wanted!

There was only one spot left in two of the art classes (Jewelry making and Sculpture), and I got them! It was worth it to get up that early so that I wouldn't have to truck it all the way around campus trying to get people to override me into the classes.

The whole process took about 15 minutes.

I'm currently (and hopefully permanently...) registered for:

Jewelry Making I

Sculpture I

Graphic Design I

Introduction to Landforms

and

a Perspectives class

(I'm not exactly sure which one...I can't recall at the moment)

So that's taken care of at least.

After that, I took a 4-hour drowsy allergy pill and went promptly back to sleep.

It took about 15 minutes to get comfy and unstuffy-nosed, but I got back to sleep and slept for the whole two hours that I had and woke up about 10 minutes before my alarm went off.

My mom brought me back some breakfast after going to get her hair cut this morning, so I had something yummy <3

About 10 minutes away from my house I realized that I had completely forgotten to put on deodorant.....this has only happened a handful of times and I hate it because I'm constantly worried about it for the rest of the day....but I was able to leisurely walk to class and had a cool breeze going the entire time, haha.

I did sweat, as per usual, but for some reason I rarely stink.

I only stink if I haven't showered, but I can go a day without deodorant for some reason.

*shrugs*

Speaking of the walk to class...

I think I have posted a picture before, but just in case...

Here is a glimpse of the Camellia Garden that I walk through to go to Japanese class:

When I got to class I was about 30 minutes early so I sat down outside (because it's way cooler than inside that building).

When I did, I looked down at my foot and noticed that whenever I moved my foot, a large cloud of pollen would rise into the air and disperse, probably targeting my eyes (because nature hates me).

So it did not take me very long to decide that the whole "sitting on the ground outside" thing was not a very good idea.

I know I posted this pic a few days ago, but I finally found out what kind of tree this is:

It's called a Sargent Crabapple Tree.

It's so beautiful, the little blossoms are so pretty, and the leaves are really nice too.

They fade from greens to reds.

We started learning kanji today in class.....oh Lord.

What we are working on with particles is hard enough, now we're throwing in new characters....

gee whiz.

After class Dustin and I got to go to lunch for the first time in a while (not counting when we went with Anna last week). He said that he had been craving a chicken quesadilla for two weeks and wanted Moe's (which I had never been to), so that's what we had.

I had eaten before I went to school and decided to get something little.

Like nachos.

Except I didn't know that it was a basket-full of fully-loaded nachos, including beans, chicken, cheese, jalapenos, and amazing deliciousness.

I ate all of it.

After a very long segment of Contemporary Art History, I was able to go home, also, may I mention....

WITHOUT GETTING STOPPED AT ANY OF THE VALDOSTA DOWNTOWN OR UPTOWN REDLIGHTS.

THANK YOU,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

*does a dramatic bow or two*

When I returned home, my bathroom cabinet had arrived from WalMart.com!

I thought about putting it together on the deck since the weather was so nice today.

Then I looked outside at our deck.

Notice how everything is yellowish green?

Yeah, that's bad.

So I just set up shop on the kitchen island.

Needless to say, my mom was thrilled that I had decided to take up more house-space with another crazy project.

Here it is half-way through:

And completely finished!

The whole thing took probably an hour to construct.

I could have done it faster if I had the electric drill sooner.

It was so much fun, I love putting together furniture like that.

I'm so excited to get my bathroom redone.

Tonight after dinner I just sat on the couch and scratched, I mean...REALLY SCRATCHED the heck out of my eyes for about 30 seconds,

all the while my mom saying:

"STOP IT! IT'S BAD! YOU'LL RELEASE HISTAMINES! TRUST ME, I'VE BEEN THERE! IT DOESN'T HELP!"

Ohhhh but it did.

I have never felt so relieved and wonderful in my life.

That was the best thing in the entire world.

After that, I decided to study some Japanese before Friday because I knew that tomorrow would be busy.

When I got done with the homework I just kind of sat back and was amazed at what I'm able to do now compared to in January before I started this class.

I'm actually able to form and understand sentences, read, write, and (kind of) speak a very difficult language.

It's just nuts to me that our brains can process and store this information the way that they do.

Come onnnn weekend!
