Alright, I feel the need for a to do list coming on, meaning, this post will be boring...maybe I'll squeeze in random facts as well.
To Do List:
-Fold laundry
-Pay car insurance and credit card bill
-Go to bank (deposit and transfer $$)
-Clean out inbox
-Write, write, write
-Do homework
And, now for some random facts that won't be numbered:
-It's the second week of November, meaning NaNoWriMo is in full swing. According to my chart, I'm supposed to have 17000 words by the end of today. I currently have: 26,797. I can take 6 days off and still win NaNo...but I won't because my goal is to finish my novel and reach above and beyond 50K...like maybe 60K...or 80K?
-I like Tuesdays because I have no work and no school, meaning it's a day to sleep in and I've got the house to myself.
-I love the Dekalb Wrimos. We have some new members this year...and they're awesome!
That's about good.

I've been so tired this week due to a combo of school/work/clinical schedules (I get up at 5:30am most days of the week) and the time change. (Which doesn't make sense considering we added an hour kinda...) To add to that, yesterday I covered someone's shift at work cause he had the flu...which was fine. I don't mind covering for people, but I worked 7-4 and got up at 5:30 when I usually don't roll out of bed until around 7 or so on Fridays.
So, I was tired, really tired and looking forward to going to bed Friday night and sleeping. And I went to bed early...like 8:30. As I was drifting off...my dad decided it would be a good time to start playing the drums.
He's got a drum set up in the attic...not an acoustic one, but an electronic one so I wasn't hearing cymbals crashing and such...but just banging and pounding that resonates through the whole house at night when it's quiet. Usually, I don't mind if he's playing drums during the day...it's not annoying. But the drum set is directly above my bed, and when I'm trying to fall asleep it's next to impossible to do so.
So, I went upstairs and asked him to stop. And he said ok.
Back downstairs, I climbed into bed and he started playing again. *rolls eyes* I tried to ignore it for a while thinking he was getting one last song or two in...but no.
I went back upstairs and my mom was there now and I told her that I'm trying to sleep...and she got my dad to stop...and I thought, ok, now I can sleep.
Nope, as I got back into bed it started up again and didn't stop until 10:30 or 11 at night. I ended up going downstairs and sleeping on the couch.
So, currently, my head hurts, my mind is fuzzy, and I didn't get that sleep that I really wanted. And I'm pissed.
I think I'm going to spend the day OUT of the house...

Random Fact #26 - NaNoWriMo starts on Sunday! Yay!
Random Fact #27 - Major anxiety this past week or so. Dunno why...all I feel like doing is laying in bed...and my heart races and I can't breathe. I was hoping I was finished with this.
Random Fact #28 - I really just don't feel like doing anything at all today...I really don't.
Random Fact #29 - I've kinda slacked off with school lately...which is linked to this anxiety...cause I don't want to do anything...
Random Fact #30 - Maybe a xanga to-do list will help?
To-Do List:
-Tidy room
-Write 1 AC article
-Finish NaNo research
-Do 2 one hour study sessions
-Go for a walk
-Yoga
-Work on collage

#21 - I'm still at 247.5, which I find weird because I would have thought that I would have gained weight over the past month with all the junk food I've been eating. *shrugs*
#22 - I've picked up the Wii Fit again. I'm gonna try and do it every day or as much as I can at night and yoga in the morning.
#23 - I'm vegetarian again...I really think I should just stick with being vegetarian right now and save going vegan for when I've graduated, making money, and out of my parent's house. Then I'll be able to afford going to Whole Foods and I'll have complete control over the kitchen. That and I won't have someone looking over my shoulder everytime I make something.
#24 - I hate being a girl...for 5 days of the month, I wish I was a boy. Ugh....
#25 - My grand total for Associated Content so far is $46.60...but it'll be bumped up to over $50 in the next few days once two articles get reviewed and published.
BONUS! - http://www.associatedcontent.com/library_video.shtml My Cloth Ghosts video was featured! That I kinda question b/c I hate that video...It took too long to make and was a headache...and I kinda messed up a bit of the audio. Oh well...I'm still featured!

16. I'm currently working on an article for AC about my writing group (The Dekalb Wrimos) that AC is paying $25 for. It's a Best Content assignment...I write the article I've always wanted to write about and they pay me. Sounds like a deal to me.
17. I've actually made real money from AC...all $15.60 of it...and if my above article gets accepted that'll be over $40. I'm anticipating that I'll have made enough by Nov. to fund all my Christmas shopping with my writing money.
18. I had 3 exams this past week...two of which I passed with flying colors...the other I'm still waiting to hear about. The exam I'm waiting on is my PTA written exam...which I think I did ok on...but anything under 75% is an F...so it doesn't take much to go below the line.
19. Saw the series premier of FlashForward last night. AWESOME!
20. George dies on Grey's Anatomy. Sad. :(
