“I woke up this morning and stared into the mirror as I reached for my toothbrush… “

I know its been so long since my last post. Didn't I say I'd do this? Although not for the reasons I said I would but for the fact that I'm too damn busy.

Life has been a little easier with my cousin Sebastian staying here. He will be here until sometime in December when his block is finished. Then he will be doing what I greatly want to do which is getting licenced and becoming a contributing member of society again. I thought I would hate having another person in my space but it has not been all that bad. We share food sometimes and he always gives me drives everywhere. Our schedules are almost the same so I get drives to and from school now and home on weekends most times. That takes a lot of weight off my shoulders and saves me money on bus  cards.

Rarely does a week go by without a test to study for; and rarely still does a week go by with ONLY ONE test to study for. Typical is three, and I think next week we have four. Somehow I need to pull three more hours out of each day for more cramming. I've never been good at time management. I'm also addicted to my computer and I don't get much done if that is close by and turned on. Turning it off means closing myself off to the world and admitting complete solitude. Its hard to turn off that connection to the outside.
So far I have not failed any tests and I have even aced a couple. That may all change today. The test we wrote today did not feel good at all and I'm trying not to think about it.

Yesterday was a treat. My parents came up to shop and took me out to a quick lunch for my noon hour. It would have been nice to show them the apartment but I have no place for them to sit. Still I think they would have been impressed with the place. Its big and free from clutter, AND CLEAN! Even more so now since Sebastian brought a vaccuum this trip. That's better than paying rent in my eyes.

Well I'm off to get this show back on the road to more note-taking since I've put that off to study. Life is a constant game of playing catch-up for the stuff you neglected due to a test you had to study for. I'm not the 20 year old I use to be. My brain is more slippery and it takes longer for stuff to stick. LOL.

This was more of a bitch session than a blog I'm afraid.
