hate early. must kill early.

Today was another one of those days where I woke up feeling like I was going to absolutely die. If I hadn't skipped tutoring last week, I would have been skipping it right now. And sleeping in my nice, warm bed. For another couple of hours. I need to stop talking about this before I start sobbing pathetically in front of the other tutors.

The good news: I finally got a check from this damn place!!! It's worth $77 and change, and it's going directly into buying Doctor Who Series One. I actually debated buying it as soon as I turned my computer on, but I controlled my insane consumerism urge and decided to wait until later. That way, I'll be more awake and probably won't be able to justify buying the life size TARDIS cutout along with said DVDs.

Although I'm not making any promises.

The bad news: This check is only from the pay period that includes 10/10-10/23. There are another two that come before it that I still haven't seen the money from. I plan on bringing this to the person that "runs" this place in the hopes that he will do something useful about this situation. Also, I'm just too tired to move right now and am hoping that I will not fall asleep sitting up in this room. Hello, goal for today. Nice to meet you.

I need to start doing the mountain of homework that is piling up and sneakily plotting to ruin my life. Right about now all I want to do is hide under this desk-table thing and hope that no one finds me. I'd assume that after I was sure that no one would find me under here I'd just fall asleep on the floor. I'm so tired I could right now. And I'm not one for sleeping on the floor, generally I find that to be uncomfortable and wake up at least every hour, if not more.

Side note: while carrying my tea this morning, bits of it kept splashing up. Burning hot water has met my skin this morning far more often than I'd like it to. If I had been more awake, it probably would have hurt like hell being as they heat the hot water to the temperature most often found inside a volcano. Considering the haze of sleepiness that I am still currently in was cloaking my life, it simply stung and made me stare at my hand without a clue in the world as to how to get the tea off.

Yup. It's one of those mornings. I'll probably need to come back and read this later to make sure I don't sound schizophrenic. I can't even remember how I started this post out.

I have managed to almost convince myself that I need a Netflix account. The only reason I am not getting one is that various people/things (i.e., Kt, that pile of homework, me) keep reminding me that I don't actually have time to watch all this stuff. I don't even have time to watch the DVDs I own, let alone ones that I'd pay a service to send me. It would be like going to the library, only worse because I'd pay for keeping a single item with me for three months.

Also, picked up a copy of Nick Hornby's Slam from the library. It's a brand new copy, which means it's all shiny and pretty and makes me want to read it. I also would like to finish Pride and Prejudice without having to stealthily read it in Historiography. I have too much fear of Professor M to get too much reading done anyway. What I really need to do is stop thinking about all the books I want to read/picking more up from the library and concentrate on school reading instead.

I'm laughing in my head right now. Never going to happen.

Owen: What about a mobile connection?
Tosh: The entire. Telephone. Network. Is down!
Ianto: Mobiles, landlines, tin cans with bits of string - everything, absolutely everything! No phones, phones all broken. Hello? Anyone there? No, 'cause the phones aren't working!
