The Kitten! (And a belated Merry Christmas)

So yeah, I haven't been online much the last few days, but I'd like to offer a belated Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it (and even those who don't). And Happy New Year as well. :)

So, here is the kitten (I will try to get daylight photos where I don't need the flash, but she isn't always exactly awake and/or playful during daylight hours).

Click the pictures to make them larger.

She's so maniacal.

Okay so that's it for now :P

*hugs*

P.S. I felt the need to be juvenile enough to point out that this is my 69th post >_>

My mother called me....

Apparently we now have a new kitten. There was a lady down the street whose cats had litters, and she was giving the kittens away for free. Our new kitten is all black with long hair, and from the picture my mother sent, is adorable.

So that's one good thing in a week of studying hell. I have something to look forward to now :)

About being obsessive-compulsive

I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned this on the blog explicitly, though I am sure I have told some of you over msn- I am obsessive-compulsive.

What this means, for me, is that everything I do must retain a certain amount of symmetry. For instance, if I step on a crack while I am walking, I must step on a crack with the other foot in the same spot, or it won't feel "right." When things don't have this certain symmetry to them, it drives me up the wall. It also means I take forever doing my laundry >_> especially the socks.

The other thing the disorder does is it puts strange thoughts in my head sometimes >_> Like, I'll think "I CAN do this, not that I ever would, and these would be the consequences..." and then later I'll be like, so why do I care? I don't really, but there's not much I can do to stop the thoughts. I think that the difference between this and depression is that the thoughts are not necessarily dark or depressing. They are just there, pointless and unwanted.

The reason I don't see a therapist about this is.. well, frankly, I just don't want to. But that's not the only reason. The disorder tends to make me strive toward perfection in my schoolwork, and I'm kind of afraid what would happen if I started medication to make it go away.

You should also know that I have never told anyone what is in those last two paragraphs, and I'm still not sure whether or not I want to leave this posted...

>_>

Today, I was told by a classmate that I write my notes and homework like a teacher. I'm not entirely sure how I should feel about this. >_>

And then there were 5.

So in-class exams are now finished, and all I have left are 5 final exams, starting next thursday and ending on december 21st. My schedule is: 1 exam thursday, 1 exam friday, 1 exam saturday, 2 exams monday. So the semester is nearly finished :D (This semester has sucked enormously, and not in the good way).

Oh yeah, and we had snow earlier. Lots and lots of snow. In fact, they should have canceled classes, in my honest opinion (I'm not just saying that because I had an exam). The roads were horrendous. The bus I take got stuck on the way to campus, and the terrifying part was, we started to slide forward... sideways. The bus was literally in both lanes, sliding up the hill sideways, and would have hit a line of cars if it hadn't straightened out in time.

Well, that's all the news I have for now. I still have homeworks and stuff due friday and monday, so I need to finish those at some point.

*hugs*

I messed with the color arrangement...

I'm still not sure if I like it though. It might be too... contrasty.

If anyone hates it... tell me D:

Edit- I messed with it more :P I made the blue a tad lighter.

Finals are upon us...

I have exactly 10 exams between now and Christmas. Exciting, right? -_-

I have two exams tomorrow, one friday, and two monday. Monday is the last day to give in class exams before finals, so all of my classes are fitting them in now. Then finals start on December 17th, so I have 5 finals. It's a depressing schedule D:

On the bright side, my nuke prof (who is also my advisor) said that this is the worst semester, and if I can get through it, I'm pretty much golden to graduate. So that's good.

Anyway, back to books, talk to you guys later.

*hugs*
