Yeah so this whole past week has blown major donkey chunks. Ok wait a minute that's just the anger talking. No offense to any donkeys. You're very noble, helpful, and respectful creatures. That said here's a recap of the past weeks events:

Death of a Friend: A friend of mine from elementary school who I've stayed in touch with over the years died this past week from leukemia. It seems like every time I seem to forget about death's grasping clutches another person is taken from my life. This might have been easier to take had a friend not lost her uncle this week as well. Seeing her mirroring how I was feeling kind of gave it a secondfold strength. This was last Monday for me, so it started the week on a down tone. I'm glad though, she's in a better place and she won't suffer any longer.

Class From Hell: Yeah so my professors decided to pick this week to add insult to injury. I had so much work I was up for 4 out of the 5 schoolnights until about 3-4am working on assorted projects, assignments, and reading. Ugh at least that big chunk is done with!

Who's Laughing Now?: So after a pretty bad Friday night (rainy, and not much going on), I wake up Saturday morning to find my car broken into. The small triangular window on the passenger rear door smashed in, the rear hatch lock decimated and assorted scratches all over. The object of desire? My roadside assistance kit, containing jumper cables, tire inflator, some flares and cool reflective markers. So some schmo must have though he had the motherload of a laptop. Wish I coulda been there to see that one. God DOES have a sense of humor lol...Not that bad a thing but it really put a downer on the rest of the weekend. I was pretty down in the dumps all Saturday and it really killed my Sat. night. Back to almost normal on Sunday. I mean a third of the semester hasn't even passed and already I've have my car damaged twice! Claims adjuster just called. Rather than going all the way home to Ideal Auto Body (the guys who rebuilt this car from scratch when Mom and Dad had their act of God accident about 5-6 years ago) or I could find a place here. I'd like to find a place here if at all possible. It's a pain to drive 8 hours and have to wait a few days there to get it fixed. The guy didn't even take anything else. I had EZ-Pass and change and all that in the car, but I guess he was paranoid enough to be in a hurry. So an appraisal person's gonna come and take a look at that this week. Woohoo...

At least there's some bright news. My sister is thinking of coming up to visit me for parents' weekend. That would really make my semester right now. I keep hearing from my nephew via email, and I spoke to my sister the other day. I really miss my family this semester. I thought that that wouldn't be such an issue my senior year, as I've gotten 3 years to get used to it. Guess not. They're such a part of me I can't imagine not having my parents, siblings, niece or nephew. Sometimes it really is the small things in life that matter most. Rent is coming to 'cuse! The travelling one at least. I can't wait for that. I've been really excited to see it. Our party date is set, October 25th! Red House Halloween Whorer party! Whoooooooo! About 6 of my friends want to come up. I hope they all do! It would be so awesome to have an awesome halloween. Still trying to piece together my costume. Not too easy, but maybe I can pull it off....

Time to go cook some Italian goodness!
