Here's a new one... MY EYES HURT! Instead of learning more valuable lifesaving techniques (I guess Saturday was enough for us) we spent today in lifeguarding playing an hour-long game of Sharks and Minnows. Where you basically swim the length of the pool under water and try to avoid the sharks that want to pull you up to the surface and tag you. And silly me, I don't have goggles because I was spoiled by years and years of swimming in a freaking lake where 1) there isn't enough chlorine in the world that could build up in the water to ever hurt your eyes and 2) the water's so green you couldn't see anything if you wanted to, anyway. So... anyway... naturally in this game you have to keep your eyes open. Which I do usually anyway, but then again I don't usually spend an hour or so 13 feet below the surface, either (and 13 feet freaking hurts my ears, too). So I went to Civ afterwards (I felt like my hair was going to freeze to my head again because it was 48 degrees out! And I couldn't keep my eyes open because they hurt so bad. They were pretty red... and I couldn't do anything about it until I got back here. I ended up borrowing my roomie's eyedrops, which helped a little (though my eyes still won't stay still long enough to use them properly). And they're stilly itchy. My poor tortured eyes.
So, it's going to be an adventure for the next few weeks. I'm going to finish catching up on everything today, I hope. Tonight my future roomies and I are going to decide which triple we want next year (which is going to be a mess, I'll explain in a bit). Tomorrow's the house lottery. This weekend's Scav Hunt. Next weekend's ACen (I need to get my butt to work on my cosplay!!). And the weekend after that is Becada's visit (Woo!). And in between all that I've got at least one more Calc midterm, lots and lots of stuff to do with my Civ research paper (which is thankfully spread out into several assignments so I can't really put it off completely)... at least I won't have another Hum paper until almost the end of the quarter. Now, all I need to do is figure out what the heck these paper topics mean, and I'll be all set. At least I'll be done with that Thursday. Oh, and I need to start working on my short story for PhiloSci. It's got to be 8 pages long, afterall. Not that that's a whole lot for a work of fiction.
So... the whole housing thing goes down tomorrow night at 8. I'm not too worried, because judging by who's staying in the house and who's not, we've got a good chance at pretty much any triple we want in the house. I am still holding out for 524 which, even though it's the smallest of the triples, is the prettiest. It's got a smallish bedroom, but a huge open living room and a nice kitchen with a bar, so everything's all open and connected and bright. But we're still not all agreeing on things yet. Our other two choices are 506 and 5... something that's across the hall from the room Skirtpants, Gamer-san, and company are taking (unless certain evil people pull some really shady moves that even I would beat them up over). 506 is nice, but it's main draw is the furniture. Which is a lot better than everyone else's. Whatever. It feels a bit small to me, though. The rooms are more even, I suppose. So the bedroom's decent, the living room is about the same size, the dining room's a little bit smaller, and the kitchen looks like it's the biggest on the floor. But it's all seperated, and it feels dark to me. I think the problem with that though, is that only 524 had the overhead lights on when I was around. The other two were dark, plus they were dirty because a bunch of guys live in them. And the room across from the future Quad Of Doom isn't bad, but one of our roomies doesn't want it because it's right across from the QoD. The other two of us would rather be nearby though. Someone has an irrational fear of noise, when, as far as I can tell, her room's twice as noisy as mine, considering the bizarre pipes in the walls. I think she's also going to have to accept that no matter where we live, Skirtpants is going to be a fourth roomie.
So... for some reason I was thinking about who I'm going to cosplay as for ACen again. I'm a bit... behind on things. So if I get the chance I'm probably going to run out to Belmont this weekend and cruise the thrift stores or something for supplies. I was originally going to do Rikku, but that's looking a little complicated right now, since I don't even have the stuff I'd need to start with. So I sort of want to do Winly (from FMA, hehehe) now, since she's easier. But there's the whole sort-of-minor-character-in-a-not-immediately-recognizable-anime thing. I figure if Skirtpants wouldn't know who she is, just because Gamer-san and I do doesn't mean other people there aren't going to look at me and go "Who are you?" (I can't find any good pictures, so you're going to be left wondering the same thing, unless you happen to be Sketchy). I suppose if I'm lucky and dilligent, I could do both. Neither are exceedingly complicated, afterall. Except of course, we need to take into account that I am exceedingly busy all the time. Pah!

course, all the people in my FMA community might just turn out to be stupid and aren't going to ACen -_o

Poke them until they go to ACen, because I need all the protection I can get from the insanity crew escorting me there (curse the SixFlags trip, curse it to heck!).
Totally find me some pictures, because even after a day of searching I am having no luck. Freaking what the heck??
