Nobody said it was easy

Life has been going crazy fast lately. Crazy fast, everywhere. Moving out, moving in, moving other people in, checking people in, training, laundry, friends at night, the Olympics -- oh, the list could go on and on.

Fortunately, I've found myself a small pocket of time here and now to put just a small somethin' somethin' up. Things are going okay, but like I said, crazy fast. I think in the next few days things will slow down and get easier. But for now, a lotta lotta isn't all giggles and fun. Good news is that I'm really enjoying my apartment. That is great news, and that my roommate hopefully moves in today. But, we shall see, we shall see. Hopefully yes, but you never know, sometimes, with this guy, hahaha...

Okay, thanks for reading lovers.

Like endless rain into a paper cup

So, the vacay was good. I liked very much this last visit to Mexico, mainly because I got to do all the things I wanted to do. That, my friends, was fun. Snorkled, kayaked, cliff-jumped, swam, volleyballed, soccered (actually footballed), ate, drank, was merry. Pretty decent get away, if I do say so myself.
Problems, though:

• wicked nasty gash on my left foot. I think it's from sand volleyball
• the runs. That's right, I have diarrhea. Sorry if you didn't want to know, but now you do
• dry skin. My skin is all itchy and dry, I think it's from the sand, salt, and sun

That's about it, I think. So, yeah, 'twas a good va-cay.
Did manage to discover a brand new pair (new to me) of sunglasses on the ocean floor, though. They're very...chic, very Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, very Paris Hilton. Not very Geoff, but they're free and they work, so they'll stay until they break.
This week I have two assignments due, a quiz, and a final, all between now and Thursday. Wish my freaking luck. As of right now I still have an 87.5 out of 200 on my midterm. Not real sure what I did wrong, so I'm hoping the final grade for the midterm still hasn't been posted yet. Haven't heard anything from my prof, but word on the street from one of my classmates is that they have been posted. I sure would like some confirmation.

Good night friends
