Yesterday during breakfast I burned my pinky finger when I accidentally ladled maple syrup onto it. wtf. I had no idea they kept it that hot. Stupid cafeteria. I feel like I'm very accident-prone. I mean, I don't get into loads of accidents, but I feel like all the accidents I get into are absolutely ridiculous. Like burning my finger on maple syrup. sigh.
Anyways, I was not very productive this weekend. My room is entirely cleaned, though! Well, except for my desk (I was just kind of lazy, but I'll do that soon. It's not like my whole desk - the top is entirely clean and organized - but the inside drawer where I keep all my pens/pencils/etc) and my bookshelf (I figured I'd wait until my mom sent my books because I'd just have to redo it anyways).
I spent the weekend (besides cleaning my room) reading a bunch of original fic and starting to watch the Legend of the Seeker. I think I like it so far (I've gotten through episode 8), but most importantly, omg prettiest show ever! Seriously, it is absolutely gorgeous. I saw caps of it and I thought it was just pretty because someone prettied up the caps, but now, it's an absolutely gorgeous show. I keep getting confused by the fact that everyone has American accents, and I feel like that's one of the reasons I'm not totally in love with it, which is kind of ridiculous. I mean, logically English wasn't even a language at the time it was set (or at least not in its current form), so it wouldn't make any more sense if they had English accents, but I seriously keep expecting everyone to have English accents. Even Australian would make more sense to me for some reason. My brain is weird. (Although I just checked and I know the show films in New Zealand and the only one of them who ISN'T from Australia or New Zealand is the actress who plays Kahlen, so I feel like they should just use their natural accents. Kind of like how Farscape was filmed in Australia and loads of the characters had Australian accents. Especially since a lot of the guest stars don't have the best American accents, so it just comes through as Australian anyways. And even the actor who plays Richard slips a fair amount). This also is making me really want to watch Merlin. Why is it so long until there are new episodes of Merlin? Not fair.
It's only the second week back and I already have a test on Friday. gah. At least it's just in German. But still, annoying. Especially since my books/DVDs should arrive this week and there's a lot of new TV this week. Seriously, I think there are more new episodes airing tonight (House, HIMYM, The Big Bang Theory, Heroes, Chuck, Gossip Girl) than all last week.
I can't believe that it's already February. This year just started! Anyways, to wrap-up January, I watched 16 movies (...I don't know how that's possible. I wasn't even TRYING to see that many movies. Last year I was trying for 150 for the whole year and I remember struggling to get to 12 in January so I'd be on track.), 234 episodes of TV (oh god, I knew I watched a lot of TV, but that's more than I expected. I think it's primarily due to mainlining 7 seasons of Scrubs in less than a week. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm missing some episodes in there. It's hard to keep track of everything.), and 1 book (ugh I'm failing at reading more! I'm almost surprised I got to 1 book. Over half the book I read in December, too. sigh). Anyway, I'm going to finish watching an episode of Legend of the Seeker, and then I have class.

i'm pretty accident prone also. like seriously. i trip, fall, do stupid stuff all the time. lately it has been getting to me. like, what's wrong with me that i walk into walls, trip over stairs, fall over randomly? i feel detached from reality. today i went into Food Lion to get an apartment guide and tried to go through the glass wall because i thought it was the door. d'oh!
anyway, i need to clean too. the laundry has created a giant mountain in the room. i have to climb it to reach the top. we're running low on clothes. i wore a pajama top under a t-shirt today. resourceful!

I've never really thought about it before, but I just realized recently how ridiculous the accidents I get into are. And I wouldn't say I'm clumsy or anything, I'm just... careless, I guess. That's probably the best way to describe why I get into all the minor accidents I do. I burned my finger once in high school on a test tube in chemistry because I forgot it was hot, even though I had just been heating it over a flame.
My laundry is under control, mostly only because I did it all before I left to go back to school, so I'm set for a few weeks. But I have a terrible habit of leaving clothes on the floor when I change into pyjamas/regular clothes. And then once I have some clothes on the ground, the next time I change, I'm like "Oh I can just leave it on the ground for now and put everything in the hamper/away in drawers later." But then of course I never do and all of a sudden there are clothes everywhere. And shoes, too. I just take my shoes off right at the door of my room instead of putting them in the closet (which is 2 feet from the door, not exactly hard to do) and then I have piles of shoes in front of the door suddenly.
