End of Week 4 + Potentialness

Why hello there Internet, fancy seeing you here. Long time no type, eh?

First off, today is my little brother's birthday. ... Crap. I have to text him happy birthday!! My priorities are awesome. I tell the internet it's my brother's birthday before I actually wish him a happy one. I facepalm in my general direction.

So this week actually went fairly well, despite not starting off so great. Jon came down with something over the weekend and he ended up not being able to hold anything down on Monday so I took the night off of school {he did as well, obviously} to take care of him. Other than that, on all the tests we did, I received an "A". Even on my paper! Which was pretty awesome. Though I have -no-clue- how Rusty managed an "A" on his. Seriously, that thing made my inner Grammar Nazi go absolutely -bonkers-. The herb & spice test wasn't really all that difficult, either. Thankfully there was extra credit, though, or else most of us would've been screwed. Rusty and Michelle said they're putting their tests on the fridge because they both finally did better than Jon and I on something {they both had 100%s, Jon and I didn't fare quite as well}.

I made muffins on Wednesday morning! They pretty much rocked. Jon said so. I meant to give one each to Michelle and Rusty, especially when they came over after school for the night, but I forgot. And I felt stupid. Go me.

So we've been having a little bit of trouble actually getting ahold of the Financial Aid office to receive our stipends. Jon did manage to talk to someone there today so hopefully -something- will get through. We're running rather low on funds and neither of us have a job at the moment AND bills are coming. BUT we'll be filling out applications today so it's not like we're standing around waiting for something to happen.

Anywho, on to something a little more optimistic.. Or not, depending on how you look at it. 

So I bought this game that recently came out that was advertised by Seth Green. It's called Dragon Quest IX. And.. I've already put 40+ hours into it. Since Sunday. And that's just when I last checked yesterday. Rusty asked me how I managed to do anything regarding school when that game has pretty much become a job. I honestly have no clue. I didn't think my time management skills were really that epic but I received over 90% on everything I did this week so they must be pretty awesome.

Rusty also let me borrow Final Fantasy XIII. I haven't made it too far, but the graphics are pretty, at least. The battle system is interesting but I'm not sure how I feel about being rated for every battle that commences. I'm hoping the storyline will pick up a little, and when I find out, it shall be more fluff for another blog.

On another note, since our lease is up in November, we're looking at other potential apartments. What makes it even better is that we're hoping we can move into an apartment with Michelle and Rusty, so we can all live near the school. It'll be nice to actually have people that are around and want to go out and do stuff. And I've never had an actual room-mate that I wasn't significantly attached to, so I'm kinda excited to live with them. Well, I'm crossing my fingers it happens because then we can all chip in to live somewhere nice and I think it'll be fun. Besides, we'll all be going to school together until April 2012, so why not, right?

But anywho, kinda hoping this weekend will be all well and good. Jon and I are going to a friend's party tonight, and we're going to my step-uncle's birthday party tomorrow {he's the one who -always- makes a cheesecake and -always- lets me have the first piece AND the rest of it after parties, so of course I'm going}.

I think I'll go ahead and busy myself with drawing up potential tattoos. They've been on my mind lately so I might as well get them on paper. Maybe I'll put up pictures when they're done.

Ta ta for now!
