Oh it has been quite a while eh? Good thing once-a-month updates seem to be old hat for me as it goes. It's been a helluva month and a bit.
Got back, immediately had a medical problem I have had control over flare back up out of control to the point where I was high dosing on medication I take to get it back under control only to have it make it flare out badly. Around late January I finally got it under control and have been doing pretty good on that scale ever since, with the occasional flare up and the retrieval of my social life. Due to the almost-severe-emotional-distress levels I was facing in my first/second week back, where I had my family worried I'd have to drop out of school, I dropped one class to go back down to 4 classes, cause Laboratory DNA forensics was just too much for me. I managed to make good friends with the group who know my current friends and I am on my way to being a regular for criminal minds watching night which is rather fun, plus there is a pretty cute girl who I'm on my way to befriending. I plan on getting back to my movie watching with friends when I get back after reading week cause The Crazies will be out and same with Shutter Island, both of which I plan on seeing with friends. This week was absolute murder for me, 2 group assignments due friday in the same class. I will say this: fuck group projects, I hate the shit outta them and basically took over writing the entire 18 page paper for the one because the people in my group could not write at all (seriously made me wonder how they got into university, like what the fuck). Thank god for my family who were helping me edit it at 1am on friday morning and getting the rest of it together.
My housing situation wasn't helping out my stress levels. Both my roommates (bitch-who-smokes-indoors and worst-hippie-ever) are leaving while I was planning on staying. After the second time my landlord showed the entire house including my room, I started getting worried. He then told me that instead of helping me find 2 people, that he was just gonna rent it all to 3 new people. I understand this and it makes sense, but the fact that he waited so long to tell me was kind of a dick move. He offered me a place in the other part of the city, which a dude I know lives at, so I was excited cause it was nice and it went well when I saw it, but since the dude is kind of a wuss, his roommate let someone she knew see it before me and then they gave it to him, leaving me essentially fucked. So I began looking for a place around the end of january. This morning I signed a lease for a place that was not only in a better location but also comes with laundry, built-in ac, and a dishwasher. It is also close to where all my friends live, cept my neighbour, but we don't get to hang out much anymore. This also lets me get to fuck over my roommates at the same time, because my landlord is gonna start up the new lease around september 1st and let the current roommates pay by the month and stay til september, but my lease starts up may 1st, and the internet is in my name, which I will cancel and the microwave is mine, which I will take with me too. I can't feel bad for them, the one has treated me so terribly and cheated me out of money so fuck her.
I haven't gotten to any shows thus far, but dillinger on the 14th of march is looking really good right now, to be followed by atticus on the 31st. I am still girlfriendless but still optimistic, besides I wouldn't have had time for one at all this last week, but I am still hopeful and things will work out for me. Sadly no new used games for me. I am keeping a watch for bayonetta, bioshock 2, dante's inferno, and AVP though. I have been working through Borderlands and Assassins Creed 2 still though, both great games. I have been trying out plenty of random bands and have found quite a bunch that I like. I am completely psyched for new dillinger escape plan in march and 2 new albums by the ocean (one in april, one in the fall) as I adore that band. Also heard A Life Once Lost will finally put out another (bout damned time).
i am feeling really good right now and am gonna continue on my current plan of completely ignoring valentines day, continuing relaxing/being awesome and getting back into the flow of rocking. Aiming for a good rest of year and an even better next year. Basically I plan on enjoying myself a bit more, while balancing the work. I'll see how well I can stick to that, but its all good.
