At least an hour. And one group member still hasn't sent me his portion. *sigh* I hate groupwork.

I'm going to be a frickin billionaire when I invent a cattle prod that works over the internet. :)

Dood! I would totally buy three!

I'd probably take my billions and invest them in going off the grid. :)

But, the cattle prod would still be available, right? Because if mine broke, I would be very sad.

Sooo tired. Been up since 5am, only just got off the restaurant, and still have to finish that project. Rawr!

/ignores Mene and works/

Good luck and I wish you a speedy completion of the project.

Oh, I'd definitely keep enough of a production line going to keep the billions flowing in. :)

Oh good. As long as your off grid retirement doesn't effect my supplies. :D

I'm trying to drink a caffeinated drink to keep me awake, but it just tastes terrible. I'm taking like the tiniest sips ever.

I'm almost done, though, and I don't have to get up for anything tomorrow so I can catch up on my sleep.

Cami, I think my psychological issues are so deep rooted that they've become a part of who I am. The longer you live with depression, the more it almost seems a part of your psyche. It's hard trying to change too, and it's in small steps which can be frustrating...as when I'm in the thick of a depression it feels futile even to do so.

I'm only diagnosed as having 'dysthymia' which I guess is a blanket term for someone who isn't typically severely depressed but shows long term signs of depression.

The only other hindering thing I have is a deep fear of driving a car. I have had full blown panic attacks while behind the wheel and it's scary as it totally messes up my ability of making quick decisions. It's funny as I've worked fairly stressful jobs that require that ability, and I trust myself to do that....put me behind a wheel and it's gone. I think I blame it on my dad working in the transportation business. He had to be part of a group of people who would rush to accident scenes to take pictures and document for the business. I've seen a fair share of photographs left on desks and heard horror stories and it scares me. Maybe not so much ME but other people around me and me getting tangled up in it... :/

Hope all that blubbering makes sense.

I miss you guys!! One more week of classes and I'm done for now...not only that but I'm finally doing my normal hours for work so now I will get more into the swing of things. :)

Last lab of the semester done!

3 Zoology lectures, 2 Lifespan lectures, 1 presentation (and a partridge in a pear tree) left.

2 lectures and a paper for me. :)

Get 'er done Izumi!

I have just the final, a quiz, and about 4 more home work assignments. WOO!

I'll have another homework assignment that will be assigned today, and I have a final in Sociology to take tonight after class. Then it's pretty much just a wind-down until finals. :)

----------

Oh, except for the extra credit assignments that are due on the 13th, which I'll do over the weekend. :)

^After all of that, I can go home for the holiday. (And visit Chi! ^O^)

Lots of stuff to do. o.o

Yeah. :P But for now... I need a nap. x_x Going to be up late. I need to find a spot where I can solder...

-leaves love and wanders off-

IF YOU DON'T GET IT ALL DONE YOU CAN'T COME VISIT *whipcrack*

If I don't get it all done, I can't graduate. x_x Believe me, I am fully aware. >>;;;

I found a place to work tonight. :D Yay for my sister's apartment. Even if it does smell like weed... Beggars can't be choosey though. Letting her borrow a camera in recompense.

I hate when people change their names. It confuses me. Therefore, I hate Kin (more than usual. Just another reason to kill him, I suppose. ^-^)

Man, I do not feel well. Apparently staying up 23.5 hours is not magically cured by sleeping nine. And I mentally feel awful about the fact that I slept until 2pm. XD I'm like, I have wasted the whole day!

Izumi: I went through a period of being depressed. And while I wouldn't say that I was clinical depressed, it was pretty bad at the time. I am a much happier person now, but I know that all those little neurosis and phobias and anxieties are still a part of who I am, they just don't manifest themselves anywhere as devastatingly. Like, it's the difference between feeling jealous about something and it really eating away at you and affecting how you act, or feeling jealous about something and thinking, that's silly, it's fine, and moving on.


Man, I wish I got a Christmas break. I am so damned busy. I don't feel like starting on all the stuff I have to do today. XD It took my friend Ira and I two days of messaging back and forth to figure out a time when we could meet up before I go back to Illinois for Christmas. Plus, when I do go to Illinois, I get to work remotely. (I told my boss I'd be working and signed into Skype for the full days that I would otherwise be in the office.)

One of the benefits of being in school is the break period that occasionally comes. That's one of the things I'll miss once it's all over with. D:
