Starting to crack
So... Being too busy has begun to get to me, heh. On Sunday night I got more anxious than I have been in quite some time and I didn't fall asleep until just before Steve came to bed around 3am (He took a 5-day weekend to use up his remaining vacation time before the year ends), and then of course when he woke me up the anxiety cycle restarted. I ended up calling in Monday and yesterday, to catch my breath and also to spend some time with Steve. I mean, I still had school on Monday, and I had a chiro appointment that I ultimately skipped, but it was still good to actually get sleep on not be stressed with the new trimester. I'm definitely over all the rules and controlling of Bath and Body works. I can't wait to be done. I just am not interested in the way it's run, especially with that one manager I simply can't stand. She's rude. And omg my time is so busy. Ughhghghhghhh.
So instead I got to play copious amounts of Rock Band 3!
Pat told me yesterday that it was "refreshing" to have someone who consistently wanted to do vocals. I was surprised because I feel like a bossy twat whenever I'm on vocals, simply because I don't like to do anything else. Guitar Hero I can play on guitar, and I was quite good at it at one point when I lived at Dan's parent's house and played with Michael, but for some reason it just isn't the same on Rock Band. Probably because there's soooo much repetition of notes versus variety. I just HATE the guitar. And let's face it, I am not a drummer. I like to sing, and I can USUALLY figure out pitch. Whenever ANYONE (usually female) asks to sing when I'm being vocals, I get all stiff like they think I'm hogging them and I need to share. I think I might be paranoid. XD
That 70's Show is so good. We've switched back to that being out background show. And omg Breaking Bad is amazing. We finally started the 5th season and it's GREAT.
I'm dyeing my hair Christmas colors this time... I was originally going to do a pink/green/purple or pink/green/blue combo, but then Steve pointed out that it's the holidays, so we got some red and I'm working on the colors right now! I'll post a pic when finished.
When I was at school on Monday, the professor asked for a show of hands who planned to do the hybrid program (mostly online), or the traditional program (once a week face-to-face). Most people raised their hands at hybrid. The class was about half that of when we started. This is due to a combination of people dropping out of the program with a smattering of people who didn't need the course. It was weird. My 3 favorite people were still in it, so I sat by them this time so I didn't have to get stuck with annoying guy. Anyway, during the break one of the students talked with the professor about the differences in the programs, and apparently the professor told them that while the face-to-face program does require the attendance commitment, there's a lot less busy work and most of the work is done in class. Ugh. WHYYY SO MEAN!?!?!? I mean, I get it. They want to make sure students are learning when not attending class so they assign a bunch of things. Is attending a class once a week a good trade-off for not having a ton of independent work? I'm so torn!
P.S. the urologist called back with my test results and said that even though my numbers were far improved, I was still showing some of that bacteria they don't want, so it's back to no sex for a couple weeks and a mega dose of medication. AND another follow-up appointment. Woo.

The red was definitely not red, haha! I just saw the picture on LJ and was like, "AAAHHHH, no." Good call on the transition to pink. Orange and green isn't anything but odd.
The school program seems like one of those strange decisions where you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just evaluate your priorities. Either way, you'll be spending time on the class. So, is it better to be forced to spend time IN class or ON class (with busywork/independent work).
Also, this urologist sounds like they're really paying a much closer attention to your condition, and working on not just treating the problem, but PREVENTING it. It sucks how much you have to do to get there, but hopefully this will really stop the infections from coming so often.

You're very right with school. I've got a lot of deciding to do. I'm not sure what my values are regarding my time, and while I'm initially concerned about my ability to make a weekly commitment, I'm equally likely to struggle meeting online deadlines. So that one argument kind of falls apart.
When the hair was brushed together, it actually looked kind of cute, and I realized I liked the orange (if I maybe did it by itself) when normally I balk at that kind of color. Some other time, perhaps! I still prefer bright bold pretty colors like the blues and purples and pinks and greens.
YES. I'm whiny about things not going as I like and appointments and stomach-hurting medicines but I very much appreciate the thoroughness of the urologist. They even CALLED ME today to set up the follow-up appointment instead of hoping I'd do it on my own. I like that kind of attention to the patient. And the consideracy (lol not a real word) to also ask/include meds for Steve so we don't have to jump hoops to get them for him too.
