Long day. it's not even five yet, but what the hell. My arm is still really sore. I don't think I've reacted this badly to a shot before in my life. This sucks. It's also my right arm, and since I'm right-handed, tomorrow's essay writing fun will in actuality, not be fun.

I had errands to run downtown this morning, so I was up bright and early to do that. I didn't sleep very well, for a couple of reasons, most of which are too stupid to be listed here. I did, however, make a pit stop at one of the many secondhand bookstores down there, and bought a hardcover copy of Julius Caesar for forty-five cents, and the novelization of Fame! as well as a Jill Churchill mystery. I love her books. The titles just kill me--"A Quiche Before Dying", "A Farewell to Yarns", "The Class Menagerie"...they make me laugh very much. I'm a closet mystery fan...I do realize that they are very much like Harlequins, but I like to think that these are a little more intelligent.

I'm trying to write one, actually. I've got about 1500 words right now. I don't think it'll be much good, but I want to see if I have the dedication and patience to write an actual novel. Everything else aside, I need to see if I can actually do this before I get serious about it. I just need to get my shit together, as they say.

I get to have coffee with Benjamin and Kori tomorrow. They're two of my roommates for next year (and a couple). I know Benjamin relatively well--we ended up "doing lunch" in his office today (he was a student union VP this year) but I don't know Kori very well at all, and she intimidates the hell out of me. She is beautiful--these great big blue eyes and perfect hair...not that I'm jealous or anything. I don't know how next year will work out, but I would like to be friends with her...she seems to be an amazing person.

I swear, I am the world's most pathetic person these days... it's ridiculous.
