brokenrecordBack at school now. Not very happy about it. I've already bitched several times about how much work I'm going to have to do in the next 6 weeks, but there's also the return to 30 degree weather (which would have been warm to me a few weeks ago, but I just spent the week in CA, ok? It was 80 on Saturday and Sunday. It was a lot of fun figuring out what to wear Sunday for both 80 and 30 degree weather) and the fact that I'm just tired of 3/4 of my classes in general and I just want it to be summer (I kind of can't wait to get a job just because I feel like I've been spending so much money and haven't been earning any, so it'll be nice for that to happen, and there are the two concerts I'm going to that I'm ridiculously looking forward to). sigh.
My return home was only made worse by the fact that taxi driver who took me from the airport to school had no idea how to get to the street I said. And the thing is, he was on the right street, all he had to do was keep going and then it would intersect with the street my dorm is on, turn left, and... it's right there. But he was like "Grand intersects with Fairvew right?" and... I don't know the neighborhood very well, so I was just like "...uh. The place where I want to go is on Grand right between Macalester St. and Snelling" and Snelling was the street he was on, so of course he took that to mean he should get off Snelling and go onto Fairvew and then he somehow managed to miss Grand and we went like twice as far as we normally would have had to and ugh. It pissed me off. Especially because I had to pay for the extra 15 minutes we spent driving around and I then ended up getting back to school 5 minutes too late for dinner in the Campus Center so I had to buy dinner myself. ugh.
Also, I somehow never adjusted the time change from MN to CA, so I kept going to sleep at like midnight and waking up at 7 or 8 AM. But even when I went to sleep later, I would still wake up ridiculously early and not be able to get back to sleep. I thought that would be solved when I came back here, but I went to sleep at midnight and woke up at 6 AM. Which makes no sense, since that's 4 AM CA time. blah.
Anyways. At least I don't have much work to do this week, so I can just kind of get used to being back here and not have to start getting stressed out until next week. I watched Torchwood 2.12 on the plane and I may or may not make a post about it later, but in any case, I totally loved it, especially Ianto's part. I hate that there's only one episode left, but at least Doctor Who is starting up right after it's over.
