All the not-so-splendiferous stuff that’s happened:

• Receiving housing arrangements that I’m not completely happy with
• Receiving a 3 on the AP Macroeconomics test
• Realizing that I deleted (a while ago, actually) the backups of old songs I had been mixing
• Not being able to attend a get-together today with my friends
• Being unfalsely accused of malicious intent when I had in mind a simple joke
• The plumbing in my house is decrepit and fail, and guess who has to deal with it when it commits said utter fail?

All the excellent stuff that’s happened:

• For some reason, despite my really bad week, I’m still hanging in there =)

ENDURANCE. I can haz it.

Like everyone else, I’m currently excitedly preparing my piece for the MIT blogger application!! I’m not exactly sure if my thoughts are the best to be displayed on the MIT Admissions site (especially considering how incredibly verbose I can be while translating my neural signals to the English language), but I figure there’s no harm in trying, right? =)

After a few days of constant blogging (no really; in the past five days I’ve written at least ten entries), though, my mind is currently very tired. To save myself the horrors of having dark eye circles when I go in for my dentist appointment tomorrow, I’ll drag my contradiction of a self off to bed. Until later~! Good luck to all blogger hopefuls!

Saturday morning I woke up and realized… the piercing pains and intense pressure that plagued my head for the entire day yesterday were finally gone, dulled out by my mother’s massages and a good night’s sleep. Since then, I’ve been pretty much completely recovered and energized enough to squeeze in some intense workdays. I was able to mix quite a few songs and work on getting things in order for my one-month absence. Sunday, my mother dragged me out for dorm shopping, including some college event thinger at the Container Store. Upon arrival, the store workers instructed me to place a marker on a map to indicate where I would be going to college.. turns out there are quite a few people in the Austin area headed up to the Boston area! In fact, other than Texas, Massachusetts had the most markers placed on it, haha.

I happened to run into my 6th-grade teacher at that store, but most of the other college-bound students who were there were all headed to in-state colleges, so I didn’t see any future MA inhabitants. No matter; we picked up a ton of hangers and boxes and other miscellaneous items I probably won’t have need for and headed back home. I also managed to get many more skeins of yarn so I can make more scarves and such. I started crocheting a hat today, but it took me about 5 tries before it turned out semi-okay. And even then i started out in a hexagonal shape, shifted to a dodecagonal shape, and right now I can’t successfully name the polygon that corresponds to the number of sides my should-be circle of stiches.

Today I also successfully watched an entire AKB48 live, haha. Umi and I went through the Team K 3rd stage together and commented on the choreography and the EPIC. I was planning on writing a review of my own, but it’s a bit late for that. Perhaps tomorrow, when I’m not lazy.

Speaking of lazy, I really should stop procrastinating on packing my items for college. There’s only… 2.5 weeks left before I depart. You know, I’m really irked that I didn’t get to say a decent goodbye to anyone. Everyone had already left by the time I walked out of graduation, or they left while my family was taking pictures. There are no parties or anything in the coming few weeks since many of my friends are still out on vacation or busy with other things. So yes, I will admit I’m a bit miffed that I didn’t and won’t get to bid people farewell in a suitable fashion. But ah well; so goes life and life goes on. To bed and to dream.

I woke up yesterday morning still wrapped up in my blankets like a caterpillar in a cocoon. However, I realized instantly that I… didn’t feel like I was freezing. Success! Right on the road to recovery.

Despite feeling better, I still felt a terrible thirst and hobbled downstairs to grab a water bottle, only to come upstairs, collapse on my bed, and immediately fall back asleep. So much for early rising; I ended up sleeping in until 12:30pm again. Fortunately, the rest of the day passed rather smoothly.

On the contrary, this morning I woke up with a stomachache. I immediately dismissed this as quite possibly being a product of all the laughing I did last night and went to eat breakfast, only to be reminded that I was scheduled for a dentist appointment. Joyous. I ended up having to lay on a squishy dentist chair for a good half hour as my hygienist poked at my teeth, all the while closing my eyes and trying to endure the pain in my lower abdomen. It took a lot of self-control, that’s for sure. Thankfully, the ache went away halfway through my scheduled studio time, allowing me to eat a delicious chalupa for dinner and have grass jelly afterwards. Score.

So now that I’m almost better, I suppose I had better start working on all the things that I’ve been putting off - designing websites for people, finishing the SnM revamp, recording things, mixing things, so on and so forth. So yes, there will no longer be humdrum complaints of my misfortune; perhaps I’ll actually make an attempt at an intelligent blog next go-around.

I’ll bet you can’t guess what I’m doing now, huh? Well, I’m sick with a 100′F fever and I am, of all things, turning on my laptop so I can torrent things overnight.

Oh yes, for once I went to bed “early” - by 12:30am I was out cold on my fluffy purple pillows underneath my warm purple sheets that did nothing to quell my external shivering. Internally I was hot as furnace, but my skin prickled with frost. Unfortunately, the downside to this “early bedtime” is the fact that I wake up during the night more often. My eyes cracked open at 1:45am, glared at the red LCD digits, and I groaned inwardly. Now that I was up, I felt choked and suffocated. I needed to get out of my room and walk someplace.

So I did. I trotted downstairs and grabbed some white grapes sitting nonchalantly on the top shelf of the fridge. I poured myself some more orange juice, hoping feebly that the vitamin C would help my recovery. I scrambled back up the stairs, into my room. Walked a few circles to calm myself down. Slipped into the office to press the power button on my laptop and fired up KTorrent.

And now I’m posting this, because when you’re sick and bedridden, and your mental thermometer has gone haywire, and your sleeping patterns look like a map drawn by a drunkard… well, there isn’t much else to blog about besides how miserable and boring your life is.

It wasn’t until now that I realized how complaintive this entry turned out to be. Pardon my selfishness; back to bed I go.
