[12:00 PM EDT - No subject.]

It was quite a nice day today. Sunny and warm, made a lot of the snow that fell last night turn to slush. Still, I see this as the last winter gasp before spring comes to full bloom.

Got to school a bit later than normal (normal being early now). weirDo saw me coming down the hallway and ran just to beat me in (first time this week!). I rushed, but decided to take a drink from the fountain. Ah, priorities. By the time I got in and settled, I realized.. aw crap, I left my glasses at home! (I was wearing my sunglasses at the time) So, off I went, back home to pick up my glasses. I don't mind tho. The weather was really nice and I liked being outside, even though there was snow everywhere. It made the journey a little weird.. warm, with snow.. hmm.

Got back in and hacked away at that report. Realizing that I still had to draw a diagram, I went to talk to Dr. Fisher. Apparently the firmware update didn't work, so the CD-RW is still a write off. Too bad. Made up my diagram on his computer and printed it out. Looks a little crappy, but at that point, I didn't really care too much. GBC, the computer guy, asked to borrow money from me (actually from the pop fund, but I AM the pop fund). I had a loony on me. Apparently he wanted to eat and had no money. Groan. Went back to DC to pull money out of the ATM.

Gave GBC his twenty bucks (which is really my twenty bucks, but oh well) and continued writing the report. It was quite interesting, I didn't turn on the radio, so my room was very quiet. Made it easy to think.. a little too easy. When the music is on, I subconsciously follow the music so that part of my mind is always preoccupied. But without the music, a lot of that brain power went to work at other stuff, like wondering.. why. Hmm.. I think there's some sort of correlation between thinking a lot, and getting depressed. For me at least. I remember in high school, I was having a pretty bad episode and when DH asked how I was doing, my best reply was:

"I'm thinking."

Well, it seems like at some point in time I told her that I thought a lot when I was depressed, and putting two and two together.. anyway, she was a good friend. I probably shouldn't have told her how much I liked her. I wonder what's she's doing now, I haven't seen her in a couple of years.. People change tho, and I sure hope that I have.

Anyway, I did end up finishing that danged report, and sent it off without proofreading it. I didn't.. couldn't look at it anymore, my mind was a little preoccupied, and then one of my students came by. She wanted to know if I had finished marking their lab reports and assignments. Wanted to know what she had going into the exam. Well, told her that they weren't marked yet (the labs that is) and that Jake had the assignments. We chatted a bit more after that, and then she left. At which point I figure I should get cracking on those labs.

Then TRP came by. He had asked weirDo and I if we could help him with his.. uh.. work. Not knowing what the hell I was getting into, I said yes as did the weirDo boy. Lo and behold, he gives me a number of questions (and the textbook) and tells me to try to answer them. What the.. I flipped through the questions and made an awful discovery. I had no idea what was going on. I had never taken radiochemistry, and I had to learn everything from scratch in a day. No problem. (Not!)

To make it worse, he even took the two of us out to dinner for helping him (by that point I still wasn't able to answer any of the questions). He wanted to finish by tomorrow. The three of us combined have had three questions (out of 18) done, after 4 hours of work.. let's see now.. eighteen over three, carry the four.. this will take some time. Boy oh boy, I'm glad I don't have any assignments to do for tomorrow..

ShadowWhyspr kept messaging me after I got back, wanted me to phone her for some reason.. well, at 9 PM.. it's 9:24. I dunno.. I don't have anything to talk about. I probably should anyway.. let's see.

Well okay, it wasn't that bad. She had a lot to talk about, and kept me from saying anything dumb. Can't remember much from the conversation, except one point where she mentioned how GS (her GS) should stop thinking negatively about finding a girl since when you believe that you won't find one, you will be destined not to find one. I dunno.. that just somehow made me feel a bit better, and kick myself in the a.. butt for being such a chickensh..omething.

It's something to think about. Being positive that is.. but funny enough, I get so much thinking done when I'm depressed. (No wonder why I haven't been thinking much for the past couple of years). Ah well, time for me to go.. tomorrow awaits..
