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.

So last night when I was taking a shower, I bent down to pick up my shampoo bottle (since the shower stalls are so ridiculously tiny and there are no shelves or anything to put shampoo/conditioner bottles onto, so I have to put them on the ground), and when I came back up, I knocked my head right into the shower knob. So now I have this giant bump on my forehead. Who gets bumps on their head past the age of, like, 3? Seriously, it's huge and lumpy and painful. I feel ridiculous.

Anyways, I managed to get together with my group last night for the math project and I actually feel way better about it now than I did before that. I didn't think we'd be able to figure some stuff out, but we did. And I didn't even have to write it all up this time. Unfortunately it took longer than I thought it would, and I hadn't written any of my reaction paper that was due today yet since I thought I would have time afterwards (even though I would have had plenty of time before the group meeting to do it). And so, of course, like the good student I am, when I got back to my room after working on the project, instead of doing the reaction paper, (well first I took a shower and got the huge bump on my head, but after that, when I was supposed to start my paper) I decided it made sense to watch House. I don't even like House that much! I mean, I like it, but I'm not obsessed with it like How I Met Your Mother or True Blood or The Office or Pushing Daisies or Chuck or like a million other shows I watch. Although I have been way more into it since they started the whole House/Cuddy thing. But yeah, so I wasted 45 minutes doing that before finally starting my paper. Oh, and I only did half of it. So I have to write the other half now, in the two hours I have before class. I win at school.

At least I got out of Research in Psych early because I finished the test early, so I have a little more time. And the first half only took 30 minutes to write, so the second half shouldn't take much longer. Provided I actually, you know, just do it and don't wait until 1:50 to finish it. On the plus side, the test I had in RIP was much easier than I expected. There's one part I think I might have gotten a few points of, but I'd be surprised if I got anything lower than an A-, and I don't even need that great of a grade to keep my grade up in the class seeing as I've gotten good grades on everything we've done in the class so far. So I'm glad that I didn't waste any more time studying for the test than I needed to yesterday.

Now I get to go through all of this again for Friday! Well, first I need to finish the reaction paper for Developmental Psych, but then I have a test (that I need to spend way more time studying for than RIP) and two reports to write up. sigh. I just have to keep telling myself that I will be heading home a week from today and will be done with all this stuff and finals and I'll be able to relax for 6 1/2 weeks.

Heh, this weekend was very productive. Saturday I went to Emma's house along with a bunch of people and grilled burgers and just hung out and played lots of cards until like midnight (actually, I left at like midnight because my mom wanted me home, but they were still going on with it then). The rest of the weekend I spent watching my season 1 Everwood DVDs. I didn't think I would get through them, but I did. Season 1 is so freaking good, and it made me really wish the season 2 and 3 DVDs would come out (which, btw, I've heard is very unlikely at this point and there are no plans for them to be released).

Today was section leader tryouts. eh. I think I did better at drum major tryouts (although I think maybe my answers to questions were better this time, but questions aren't as important). Oh well. Even if I had done amazingly I don't think I'd get it. [shrug] Won't know until Friday for sure, though.

Ugh this morning when I was putting my car keys back in my pocket, I cut my finger on one of my house keys. I didn't realize it was so sharp! Bleh.

wheee, Everwood series finale tonight. I'm both excited for it and dreading it at the same time. sigh. Hopefully it's amazing.

I keep injuring myself, and I don't know how. Yesterday I randomly twisted my knee, and this morning I woke up and the back of both of my knees was hurting. Still hurting now, actually. bah. I think I beat myself up when I'm sleeping, or something.

Still haven't watched last week's Lost, so I obviously didn't see this week's. I'll catch up... eventually. Maybe Saturday?

I burned my thumb today in Chemistry. It was not pleasant. Like, we were heating potassium (...or maybe sodium) bicarbonate in this test tube and I was holding it with tongs over the bunsen burner. And then we were done observing the chemical change and so I took it off the bunsen burner, and somehow, I'm not sure if I accidentally brushed against it or if I forgot that it was, you know, really, really, hot, but somehow I touched my thumb to the bottom of the test tube. Ouch. It wasn't actually that painful (though not particularly pleasant), and I immediately put it under cold water for a minute. Then I asked my teacher what to do, and she said I should leave my thumb under the water for a very long time. So I did, and it's ok. It's only a first degree burn, didn't blister or anything. It's just kind of like... tough there, like it's calloused.

The rest of the day was far less eventful. I got this quiz thing we took in French on Tuesday back and I got a 45/45, and then we saw our grades and I have a 95.1, which is actually better than I thought it would be. So, yeah. French is looking better to me now.

Still haven't seen Veronica Mars. I am sad. :( It's downloading now, though. 14%! But still an hour and a half left. bleh. I suppose it would be wise to get some homework done or start studying for my 80-question multiple choice test in Euro tomorrow.
