mutedtempestDiabetes can really suck sometimes, and on rare occasions it can even jeopardize a grade in an Independent Study Ethics course. Yep, that's right, my dumb ass took my insulin after breakfast, thinking all was peachy, then went to the testing center out at Black Hawk. Suffice it to say that the exam probably makes less sense than this entire journal combined. Luckily, the testing-monitor-lady was familiar with the signs of hypoglycemia, so she got me some orange juice and crackers. About half an hour later I was cognizant enough to call my grandpa, since my ass is still non-vehicle-having and driving after something like that probably wouldn't be too good for the general public anyway. This, of course, meant that my bitchy-ass grandma came along, but whatever. I'm alive and after having some much-needed and enjoyable McDonald's goodness to keep my sugar up, I went and slept for 19 hours.
I have no idea if I'll be allowed to make up the exam, but I sure as hell hope so since it comprises 20% of the course grade. Yay me. Quite frankly, I could care less at this point. I just want the semester to be over with so I can actually start making some money and stop being guilt-tripped by my grandparents every few days. Seriously though, I think it's high time I got a decent-paying job. I'll definitely need the money to pay for school next year, and I still have a ton of debt that's driving me nuts. That, and I'd like the ability to walk to the gas station should I get a hankering for jerky or something. That sounds wrong.
I should be studying for my Ethics exams, but I'm being uber-lazy today and don't feel like it at the moment. I probably will before too long, though. I'm also working slowly but surely on updates for my two fics over on the ad-infested archive (I should capitalize that, but I'm not motivated enough). I should have the second installment to Weather the Storm up by tonight or tomorrow, and You sometime this week, although I'm making no promises as to when because I have no freaking idea. I have too much studying and job-seeking to do to write the date in stone. Not that it matters, it's a fictional story about fictional characters, which takes place last season.
In other nerdy lesbian news, I'm practically boucing off the walls in excitement for the new season of the L Word. It's gonna be better than Christmas, which isn't saying much since Christmas with my family pretty much sucks. I still love them though, the crazy bastards. Anyway, I still despise Ilene Chaiken and anything she writes due to its ever-present lack of continuity (and common sense, most of the time) but dammit I miss Alice. And Helena. And Shane. And Dana, but that's not going away. Not so much Bette or Tina, though. They sort of annoy the piss out of me. Oh well. I'm such a fucking nerd.
Okay, this thing is long. Sorry.

Date: 2006-12-11 06:56 pm (UTC)As for the next season of the L word, I can't wait for it either. I've tried to avoid reading spoilers, but it's impossible. I'm just addicted. I've been missing the girls so much, it's probably why I read so much fanfic. I've been trying to get my roommate to watch the show so she can catch up before the new season, but no such luck yet. She really should, because how funny would it be having me and her boyfriend watching the show and not her? She'll come around, hopefully soon, theres not much time left.
