I'm in the big psych class which everyone else wanted to take (there was a lottery and they let in everyone), so no torture class for me. :( I had reservations before about taking a class with the same professor as my freshman seminar, but the syllabus did seem really interesting, albeit with a similar workload to Lives of the Dead, and someone from my expos class was there! But SLS 20 overlaps with it, so I will have to get my morbid fix some other way.

Apparently I keep everyone awake with my snoring, so I slept in the common room two nights ago and at Stephen's yesterday. This morning, as I set my alarm later and later, he kept poking me in the back because I sounded like I was choking. I guess it's good to know that someone will notice if I stop breathing in my sleep. My throat is mostly fine now, though. Although I realy shouldn't be going out and getting everyone else sick and exposing myself to the cold. But what can I do? It's shopping period and I have no one to take notes for me.

I am ridiculously excited to do Dems stuff this semester. Not so much for Yearbook.

I haz strep throat (probably) or mono (less probably). The nurses at UHS aren't very nice or helpful to me.

I pretty much know my schedule already and hopefully don't have class on Fridays.

My parents are cheap and don't want to pay for the data plan for the Curve so I am stuck without a phone indefinitely.

Two days ago, Pan and I went to CVS at 1:30 am and came across the same cat that randomly approached us maybe a month ago. It apparently likes Stephen's rave pants better than me. It's probably because I went to fast into slow-mo and skipped no-mo. Gotta pay more attention to my cat massaging technique.

Pan had trouble sleeping last night (even without my snoring), I had trouble sleeping last night (my lymph node is still angry at me), Lena had trouble sleeping last night (unless I dreamed that). Hooray!

I made $30 and hid in a closet for 10 minutes. There were several hours in between these two events. I also found out that there's another square within walking distance of Pan's apartment.

My family from Haiti is probably still in the Dominican Republic, trying to get a flight to NY.

Amara might transfer closer to me, which is something that would mean fun times for both of us.

Stephen and I are incredibly lazy here and it's nice.

Still no contact with the family in Haiti, it seems.
EDIT: EVERYONE IS OKAY! :D

In more happy news, I'm with Pan right now!

My parents are driving me out of the state. If it weren't for Stephen and Reetchel and Mari and Amara, I would be full of pills right now. But just in case, I have an unopened bottle of Tylenol. I'm glad I brought all my Lexapro from Massachusetts.

One good thing that came out of this morning: I got to call my mom out on her bullshit, and I get to see Pan this week!

My book list is going to be pretty short this year, I realized. I will probably never finish The Teahouse Fire, so maybe I should just sell it to the bookstore. I've been out pretty much every day this week with Mari and Nicole, which is fun. We went to visit our high school, but basically couldn't go anywhere until school had let out, at which point everyone was gone or inaccessible because of Red&Gold dress rehearsal. We tried all kinds of ways to watch it, but got shut out. For a school that acts poor, it should really be doing more to welcome recent alum, I think. Or maybe I'm just pissed at the new principal. Anyway, Gold definitely wins for the better theme and props. Their props look so professional (they even have revolving doors for a fancy hotel on the Upper East Side! They're GTV in NYC), while Red just has two or three props (they're Wizard of Oz, which I'm pretty sure has been done already).

I'm reconsidering staying at my aunt's house for the rest of vacation, since it's so inconvenient for someone without a car. Reetchel wants to hang out every other day, but she can't drive either, so I'll be relying on the bus a lot. I don't know, maybe I can successfully avoid my parents. I'm really upset that Pan can't visit though; and if he does come to NY, it would be for a rave that I wouldn't be able to go to, making it useless as a visit to see me. I just want to move all my friends to Boston, seriously. Best of both worlds~. Except that there's no awesome Brazilian place in Boston. But I could deal.

Uhhhh, one of my icons disappeared. I really need new ones, preferably Metalocalypse or Science of Sleep ones. But yet, I am so lazy, and I can't use my version of Photoshop off the school's network. I don't want to risk using a keygen, or deal with CS4 telling me every second that my code isn't legit. I like the prettiness of CS4 much better though. :( When I get a job, I'm going to set up a Gina-needs-a-legit-version-of-CS4 fund. Which will hopefully reach its goal before I graduate, or shit will be mad expensive.

Ahhhhhhh, I need a job. And clothes. And Pan to get on Skype. What is this mess? Lol, did I mention I slept 4 hours last night? Yeah, I probably sound as stupid as a think I do.

Did I mention that I didn't fail math? I actually got a B, and my gpa is basically a B+ because of expos >:|. I am never taking math ever again. GOD I AM SO STUPID MAKING MYSELF STAY AWAKE.

I pretty much only go on here when I'm upset, but I'm usually somewhat better, really. I just really hate home. My mom is already complaining about my sleeping habits and the fact that I don't talk to her (an issue I thought had been resolved when I was 14 and told her that I'm never going to tell her anything important or emotional ever again (and I've made good on that promise)). I miss Pan and my high school friends. Dare I say I miss Cambridge? Well, really Stephen's place, considering how I (still) don't talk to many Harvard people. Speaking of, I'm still not sure if I should go to the freshman formal.

At home for the next month, and already disliking being around my parents and having to talk to the people I live with. I really need a single next year. The freshman formal is in late January, but I don't know if I want to go with Stephen and stand around not talking to the friends I don't have in a dress that I'm too big for but can afford because I've had it for a year.

I don't think I want to go out in the snow, ever. At least I'm not stuck waiting for the Bolt Bus in Cambridge.

The sun's up, which means it's time for me to go to bed soon. I think I may be turning into a vampire. I blame the interwebz and I Saw You Harvard.
