Everywhere I go

I have 20ish minutes left of class, that I am obviously not paying attention to, to write this entry.

After my last final at 8:30 in the damn morning for Enlightenment Cultural History I took off for Medford on the Greyhound for about 5 days. For those 5 days (Wednesday till Monday) I did a whole lot of nothing.  I got to see Val and John, which  whom I was very happy to see.  John and I did or normal routine of Wal-Mart and chatting.  I am very happy that he has finally found a kindred female spirit that is with in a 20 mile radius from him.  I worked at my Dad's grill for about an hour and a half.  Mom, Dad and I went garage selling on Saturday, I bought random stuff for my new flat.  Mom gave me a pasta dish set and a crock pot.  Also on Saturday my Dad's cousin, Frank, that he grew up with came all the way up to Oregon (on his way up to Montana), with his wife, Abby, from Tuscon, Arizona.  Abby and Frank are both teachers and so I got lots of usefull advice on what I should do.  On Sunday we went to Ashalnd (Val came with us) and Val and I hung with the fam for awhile, but broke off after awhile.  Val and I went to Lithia Park and she took pretty pictures of me.  I'll post some here...maybe.

On Monday Frank and Abby drve me up to Eugene and we talked a lot of teaching and what Ishould to prepare for my future and appling  with Teach for America.  When we got to Eugene we got lunch at Sakura and I gave them a tour of campus.  After they left for the coast I had an hour or so before I had to leave for work, and thus began my week.

I worked.  Everyday, Monday till Friday 11-3.  Now, because I take the bus its really 10-4.  Hot diggity damn.  I've been reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman and I am abotu half way through it.  I worked.  A lot.  Plus I have to go to Doug and Emilie's to water their plants and take care of Sandy the rat.  And I walk there and its about a good 25 to 30 minute walk, both ways.  Watering and Sandy time takes about 45 minutes.  Last week I wasn't getting home till 6ish.  We don't have internet right now so I would take a shower and go to the library to check up on stuff.  On Midsummer's Eve I fell asleep around 5:55 and woke up at 10.  I called other Aaron and we got some Muchas and I went back home and slept till 8 am.  I also saw 'Waitress' with other Aaron and its really cute and good.  Go see it.

Kevin, who is now moving to Australia, came to visit me on...Tuesday. We went to Muchas and Sweet Life.  We also went to Alton Baker where he bag piped for a little while and we chased gooses.

My Aaron was out of town all week.  I was all sorts of lonely.  Laila and Amjad moved out, and I have their old room. Natalie and Adam were gone all week.  Now they're back and Natalie moved a bunch of my stuff form my old room to my new one...In a slap dash, throw it all over the place fashion.  SO when I got home late last nite I had to deal with that and unpacking.

I spent the weekend in Portland.

(Its the next day)

I went with other Aaron, James, Jody and Jody to go see 'Can't Stop the Serenity', a fundraiser for Equality Now.  They showed 'Serenity' at the Hollywood Theatre and donated the procedes to Equality Now, Joss Whedon's favorite organization.  My Aaron picked me up and we hugged and kissed and it was wonderful to see him after a  week and a half.  We really didn't do much.  We went to bed late on Friday nite, after walking through is high school years via a memory box.  He got up at 7 am to take his car with his Mom to drop off his car so he could get new brakes.  He came back and made me the best breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and ham.  We later got his car and played at his old elementry school's playground for awhile.  He let me make a charecter on his WOW account.,  I am a Blood Elf preistess named Jacosta.  His parents took us out to dinner to a McMeninmans tucked away in the woods.  Aaron started to feel icky and he was dead tired.

Plans to hang out with Kevin and Eric fell through.

So.  I went to bed instead.

We left on Sunday, I got to to go tot he Body Shop.  We got back to Eugene, got Taco Bell, and I played WOW.

I sarted summer classes yesterday.  Geology 101 which I might not need to take.  Its at 8 am so I am really miserable.  8amClass and I have to go to work right afterwards then Doug and Emilie's house stuff...i don't get home till 6 pm.  It sucks.  I want it to stop.  We might be closing as soon as next week too.  We're expanding. If we do, and I don't ha to take this class I might be able to go to Medford again, but I am not sure.

Good God, I am tired.

This weekend killed me, even though I was already dying.

I started feeling slightly icky on Thursday, I spent the day not going to class and slept for the duration of the day.  Friday I made myself go to Japanese, then to my one on one, and then the infamous gyno exam.  I was feeling achey and sore but I still exherted myself a little to much.

On Saturday I woke up feeling ok but as the day progressed I suddenly found myself feeling weak, achey, and overall like I needed to die.

But I couldn't die.

Because my parents and Grandpa were coming.

 
We picked up Mom and Dad and went on campus for a wild goose chase.

So here is something awesome.  One of my distant realitives on my Grandpa's (Mom's) side was one of the first graduates from the University of Oregon and he became a very prominent judge.  His name was Robert Sharp Bean.

The Bean complex is actually named after him.

But apprently there is a plaque somewhere and we tried to find it.  We even bugged the people at the libray but they had no idea what we were talking about.

We also found the name Bean (and Whitehall) stamped into the concrete in front of McArthur court.

After all of the runing around we went to Starbucks and got some coffee.  With the rest of the money Grandpa gave me I went to the book store to get a U of O hoodie and an tshirt that says 'Oregon Girls Rock'.  After that we went to Trader Joes and Grandpa bought me a bottle of 2 Buck Chuck XD.

When they left I pretty much crashed.  I was so dead and done with living.

I took Monday off to go to the health center where much awesomeness (...NOT) occured.

I go see the doctor, coughing every five mintutes and going the pace of adilpated mollasas.  Dr. Surlock exams me but she is still unsure of what I have.  I've had this violent cough for at least 2 weeks, and I had a 101.5 fever and this worries her.  She suggests that I get my blood taken for tests and a chest X-Ray.

I get both done.  Hooray.

I see Aaron Renner and we chat for a little bit.

I get called back after she looks at my chest X-Ray and blood test results.  The X-Ray is normal.  But my blood test shows that my red blood cell count is lower than it should be.  So I have to get another blood test after I get better.  She asked me if I wanted cough medicine with Codine and I said "Maybe..." in a meek voice.  I think she laughed but I can't remember.

The Pahrmacist (named Gregg) was the only person at the Health Center that said my name right XD.

I slept for the rest of the day.  Went over to Aaron's to watch Heroes (<3).  And came back home.

Fucking ressies making thumping, crashing noises at 1 am.  I dragged myself out of bed to investigate, but to no avial there was nothing.

I went to back to bed.  Woke up at 10 am and felt much better.   I am still feeling a little weak and off kilter, but I can feel myself starting to get better.

Thanks to all who responded in my plea to solve my acne issues, which I believe, are being caused by birth control.

I went to my follow up with Collen in the health center today. That was exciting. Aaron went with me for support and probably to read out dated issues of National Geographic in the waiting room.

Collen did the one finger test.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

The pain. 

It was horriable.

I covered my face and whimpered.

What she did was a 360 degree exax of pushing on my pelvic musscles.

After she was done she pulled out her finger removed the glove and patted me on the leg and said "I am so sorry sweetie."

She gave me a referal to a physical therapist who is going to work on my hips, pelivs, and inner thighes.

Afterwards Aaron, Kevin and I got sushi.

And then I bought random stuff I probably shouldn't have at Target and Old Navy.

Mom, Dad, and Grandpa are here tomorrow.

I am going to bed now.

So. Hey everyone.

I haven't been very motivated to write for a long time. Mainly because I don't have anything to write about.

The term has started off with a bang of reading. Or rather, reading that I am not reading. Although all of the classes do provide readings that I do take some general to extreme interest in I just don't want to do it. I am more excited to read the memroir and historic fictional accounts than actual text books.

Japanese is treating me well, just lots of vocab and I can conjugate abverbs. I can also kinda have a conversation. Its exciting.

A week and a half ago I almost fainted in the shower, but I forced myself to go to classes for my crazy 9 am till 1:30 day. What makes this day so grueling is that I have to haul ass from Villard to the Education building because Japanese class always gets out late. Then from the Education building I have to run to Mckenzie which is over by Villard. When you're sick and its snowing this becomes quite taxing on ones body. After Vietname class, which I have with Aaron, I went over to his place where he made me amazing spinach-rice-tortolini soup. I ended up too weak to move myself off of Aaron's futon to go to staff meeting, so I spent the nite and didn't got to class on Friday.

Now I have a pretty bad chest cold. Aaron once again came to my rescue. He bought me cough medicine, Ricola, I sick Soup, and flowers.

We're going to move in together next fall. I find the prospect of this invigorating and exciting. I cannot wait. We've already bought plates.

I am finally going to call the health center to schedule an appointment for my vaginismus test. I have put this off mainly due to fear.

Vi was in Eugene from Friday till Saturday, Aaron and I spent some time with her. It was really fun and Vi adored Aaron.

Hopefully Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Ernie will be spending next weekend here in Eugene. I am relaly excited about this too.

My room is clean.
I have Aaron's Valentines Day stuff all figured out.
I need to figure out all of my programs for the term.
I need to make new door decs for my girls.
I need to be around more.

I need to sleep.

Good nite.

am back from Portland after sleeping on average 4 to 5 hours each nite. Lots of intense fun was had. I did pretty much everything I had intentions on doing. Mainly involving a slight disreguard for money. I made a bold move, bought a dress, 3 bottles of perfume, met the one named Alex, and kicked up my heals. 4 out every 5 gay men approve of my dress. They also agreg that I am pretty cute hot stuff. Goddess bless the queen bears at the gay bar.

The Decemberists were frellin' awesome. They played an hour or so long set. They opened with 'I Was Meant for the Stage', which was an interesting choice. They went from there to '16 Military Wives'. The other songs that made an appearence were 'I Am an Engine Driver', 'The Legionnaire's Lament', 'We Both Go Down Together', 'The Perfect Crime' (new), 'Valencia' (also new), Summer, Summer (more newness). I was most excited for 'Myla Goldberg'. The drummer started early so they had to stop and I was a little bummed because I thought that he was just messing around but they enventually got it together and started to play it. They closed 'The Mariner's Revenge'.

After the show Jake and I did fair stuff. I ate the majority of a very large funnel cake, some frys and a snow cone. After eating we went on the Gravitron, the cheesy haunted house, and the Ferris Wheel. Akwardness was had, but what can you do about that when your basic instinct is to be akward.

I wnet to bed at 11:15ish pm. Alex called about an hour later. Waking me up, I swore it was later than it was. I can't think well under circumstances like that.

My grandpa is in town. Today is my mom's birthday. I move in a week and a day. My mroning is made when I drink tea out of my beloved penguin orgy mug gifted to me by Eric over a year ago.

I don't know what comes next.
