So... Tired... Can't... Move...

Today was very satisfying, but so tiring... my legs... my back... muscles... can't... move... Jason had fencing, I was running around a bit and then had a choir concert... then more moving around and some confusion and dinner... getting some papers in order with my mom, seeing her off, and then finally some alone time with Jason. And what did we do?

Lay (yes, the passive voice) on my bed for a while, gave each other a nice massage, collapsed again, said "happy six months" and lay around for a little while longer before getting up to walk (quite protestingly) to the little store thing to get water and nibbles. Then we said goodnight and here I am, passing that sentiment along...

Goodnight :)

Pure Gold!

A screenshot that I just took from msnbc.com... not kidding! Nor did I change anything in it... click the image for full effect.

Singing... and Reading...

Three hours of singing, in fact. Before that I'll be reading and working on my essay and after that I'll be on a little trip to the library of the nearby posh private college (we have access to their library!) to look up some good books on medieval Spain, take copious notes and copies, and then return home. And maybe I can look for one good literary article on feminism in The Decameron at the MU library if I have time.

I Did Accomplish Something...

Changed the timestamp to reflect my time zone, finally ;)

Friday

Today was a pretty unexciting day, considering how Fridays usually are. I went through some more of The Decameron, marking pages that I can use in my essay, spent a good portion of time updating my resume and making it look pretty (job interview in library archives and special collections next Friday!) and had some procrastinating/relaxing time.

Now I'm just about ready for bed...

DANGER!!!

me: I was just about to leave
jason: be careful
me: what, do I have to step over some broken bodies?
jason: they're playing brittany spears out there
me: I'll take that as a yes

Actual News Post

Well... back on Monday starting around noon I was really starting to feel like I had some stomach bug, plus I was starting to get dizzy from, I presumed, one of the medications that I am taking. Yesterday it got worse after I had a light breakfast so I gave up and just went to Health Services. My pulse and blood pressure were pretty high. The nurse ended up calling the doctor in, and then I started shaking like I had the chills, but I didn't have a fever at all. He said that I should just go to the ER so they could do a full blood count, so I did, and that's where I spent most of my day. Basically, what I presumed was correct... side effects plus a stomach bug equal an unhappy Carla. I am feeling better today, at least.

Speaking of today, it was the Day of Silence here at Millersville. I can't believe it, but this was the first year that they've done it here! I was proud to participate and didn't personally get any trouble... actually, some of my classmates made a point of saying something supportive to me.

Hah! Damned Spot, I Have You Now xD

So, last Monday, as some of you may recall, I saw that beautiful white falcon for the first time and wished that I had a camera. Yesterday evening my boyfriend and I saw it again, so at least he got to see it... but I still didn't get back with a camera in time. This morning, however, I saw it on my way back to breakfast and immediately turned around and went to get a camera from the Snapper offices. This time, it was around when I got back, and I spent the next ten minutes following it from tree to tree around the quad. I should have gotten the wide-angle camera, but the small silver one was the closest and quickest to get. I also took some photos of campus while I was at it, and a few of my pant legs and feet... stupid dew. I've named the falcon Damned Spot, for obvious reasons.

Falcon Tail ;)

It was kind of tucking its head under... camera shy?

A pretty good shot... click to enlarge. I know it's a little blurry :/

It was looking over its shoulder at me xD

That's the sign of a true photographer, right there :P

Not Sure...

Meh... started feeling kind of bad around noon, not sure if it's from meds or some bug or maybe just that I missed my lunchtime dose (well, I don't think that's it). Mostly swimmy, upset stomach... hope I can get food down at dinner.

After the Rain

Water droplets shining on the clovers.

The beautiful green lawn and some trees.

Purrr...

Me, better rested and rather pleased with myself. Blurriness still included. I am always a bit amphorous; slightly undefined...

Yay for Sam!

"G'night. Pleasant dreams of bunnies and flowers! Only in black and white with Opeth playing in the background."

Maybe Five Hours

This is what I look like with maybe five hours of sleep the night before... on a rainy day... with the majority of my time spent trying to make progress on an essay. Blurriness included.

Eco

"I am young, my love, I am just born."

Correction:

There is only one thing I am truly afraid of, and that is finding Jason lying on his bed like that ever again.

"Quizá no pueda respirar más/Sin respirarte a ti..."

Thoughts from Yesterday

And when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, it did... puta... it's time for karma to shift. Now.

I have Jason. I win.

Dr. Fortin got a little too excited about showing us a painting of hell, if you ask me...

"And loook over there, see the little pointy white hat? That's a bishop! And over there is a guy with a crown, so this painting got a little political... Ooh, and at the bottom there's a big cat and this funky monster things..."


WE DON'T NEED NO WATER LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN,BURN MOTHERFUCKER, BURN.

Birds

I love the sound that raven's wings make when they fly past... not like in 'The Birds,' but just a nice fwooshy sound :)
