updatey

my letter of acceptance/refusal could arrive any day now (they said end of Feb/early March). it's driving me crazy.

i am officially a geek/gamer girl. i prided myself on not actually being one, despite everything else, but i could always say i didn't do any roleplaying. but now, i've fallen off that high horse, and i like it. *sigh* i'm doomed. doomed, i tell you.

*dooom do-doom doom doom*

busy, busy week. gonna relax and sleep tonight (i'm not feeling so great, what with the headaches and the stomach cramps), and try to deal with all the housework that's been piling up over the past few weeks. and then, i've got Sunday to do with as i will.

i'm trying to impose some sense of productivity on myself at work. when i get bored, i'm going to start writing rather than browsing the internet mindlessly. i managed 5 ficlets yesterday; between the actual work i have to do and the ficlets, i kept myself busy all day. much less exhausting than desperately searching for something to do, really. and so: my goal is 5 ficlets, or 5 pages, a day, with allowances for work actually occuring at some point in there.

oh, and my parents are going to Greece this year. without me, of course. even my mother's realised that every time they travel recently, they go somewhere i'd like to go. last time, it was Italy. now Greece. she stared at me and said: "Tu sais, c'est pas qu'on essaie d'aller où toi tu aimerais aller. J'vas pas en Grèce pour les ruines, j'y vas MALGRÉ les ruines."

... as if that's supposed to make me feel better. i'm consoling myself with the thought that i'll have the car for those 2+ weeks. hah. (that's assuming i don't already have a car of my own at that point).

I have this image of people touring Greece looking about at the scenery in disgust.

"Damned ruins are getting in the way of progress! Makes the place look messy! Somebody really should clean these up..."

....

As F. said, take the car anyway.

my dad'll enjoy the ruins. my mom'll enjoy them... well, the first 2 or 3, anyway. after that, she'll be selectively viewing the countryside AROUND the ruins. *sigh*

it's actually painful, isn't it? *dies*

even if you did have a car at that point, you should get the second one for those 2+ weeks anyways... >:D

i somehow doubt that would go over very well.

you parent's never offer for you to go too?

my mom's actually been pretty good about that - when my dad originally said he couldn't do a trip this year, my mom told him she'd go with me instead. needless to say, he cleared up his schedule real fast.

and she did actually think about taking me, but can't afford the extra rooms all over the place (and there's no way i'm staying WITH my parents).
