I have been really lazy lately, and slightly swamped with work. My schedule keeps me busier than I had anticipated, with me being out most days from when I leave at 8:30am till about 7-10pm depending on the day. I took two midterms on friday, one in Meat Science and one in Chem. I feel like I did really well on the Meat one, and I just got my Chem one back today and got a D. I was kinda expecting it because I didn't get to finish the test, but it still sucks. I have decent grades on all the quizzes and lab reports so far, so hopefully I can start doing better since I know Chem and all the other sciences are super important for my GPA. I also got a 91 on my first Stats test :] Here's hoping I can keep it up. Oh, and I made hot dogs last week in my meat lab, haha. Haven't eaten them yet though!
The week before last was not the best week for me. I went shopping at Costo with a friend, and on the way back to the bus stop I tripped and fell on the concrete. Usually when I fall I land on my knees, and knees + hard concrete = ouch. So I lugged my backpack filled with goodies all the way back up the hill to my apartment on campus and was so tired. Later on in the week it was 3am, my roommate (yes, I did end up getting a roommate, and she's really nice!) wasn't home yet, and I had dirty dishes on my desk to take into the kitchen. I stand up, plate, bowl, and glass in hand, and turn to walk towards the door... then I'm not sure if I tripped over my baggy pyjamas or just thin air, but trip I did. Landed on my knees again (more ow), and after the shock of that I saw that I had shattered my glass, chipped my BRAND NEW plate in several places, and yet the bowl remained undamaged, even though it's made of glass too. After this new shock wears off, I notice my hand is bleeding, quite a lot actually.
First thing I do is try to gather up the shards of glass (the plate was actually stoneware, so that might explain the chipping, but the chips literally flew everywhere. I found some pieces up in my bed, which is like 4 feet off the ground). My hand is still bleeding, and actually dripped a bit onto the carpet. Luckily its the ugly multicolored motel kind that you can't see stains too clearly on. So I clean up glass, take it into the kitchen and leave it on the counter. I think the cleaning people must have taken it because I just left it there and it vanished. Then I rinse my hand off, study my cut for a moment or two because I was really interested on how this tiny little cut was bleeding so much (and even more interested in how fast it closed up, it's practically healed now), and bandage it up. Go to clean up the extra little pieces of glass that I missed, drag the vacuum out of the closet in the living room, can't figure out how to turn it on for a good 5 minutes or so, and suck anything I missed up. There was also a big wet spot on the floor because the glass had water in it when I dropped it.
I was really more irritated at the fact that I had just gotten these plates, and I REALLY like them, and I already broke one of them... Also I now only have 3 glasses, and one of them I used for scooping my fish last year so I don't really want to drink out of it. I was also glad my roommate wasn't there, because if she saw me fall it would have been embarrassing as hell :c
And then, later in the week again, I woke up with a really bad pain in my neck. I'm not sure if it was a pinched nerve or a really bad muscle pain but I hurt a lot to move in a certain way or lift my arm. More recently this week my knee has been bothering me a bit. It's probably from falling so much (because the first day of school I also slipped and fell off a wall, smacking my knee into it)... I only notice it when I go to sit cross-legged, it really hurts but goes away after a while, like if something was stretching out. Then when I straighten my leg out again it hurts just as much, and gradually lessens. If I lean down on my knee, like when climbing into bed it also hurts. I'm hoping it'll go away soon cause it's really annoying. This is super long and was sort of pointless, I just talked about me getting hurt, haha. I plan to write again soon~
