I hate being sick

Well... just got over being sick. It was more like a 48 hour head cold then anything serious, but still annoying. Overstuffed nose, headaches, sore throat, constant tiredness, and random cold/hot flashes. Actually missed class because of it (instead of a random skip of class). Still, I'm glad I'm feeling better now.

Going to try a few new things with my finances. Set up a second checking account because SunTrust is offering up to 150 dollars if you set up a new checking account with them and do online bill pay. Going to try to divide my funds into 2 accounts... one for bills and one for misc. The new Suntrust account will be for bills, while my old account will for misc things, since I also have my old account linked to my savings account to allow easy transfer into savings. I also plan on doing one or two other things with my old checking account, though I'm not going to get into it to I enact those ideas.

There's this kind of cute guy in my CS2 class. He hates macs almost as much as I do. His name's Ryan. Been talking with him before the last 2 classes... Maybe I can finally stop being single?

Glargh, my brain isn't up to the complex task of writing a blog at the moment... so ~Night!

Happy Make single people feel worse than normal day

I do not like Valentines day. It's not anything against the day in general. In fact, I love the idea of romance, of being able to have a day where I could be close to a person I love, spend time with them, give and receive gifts, and all together feel cherished. The problem with Valentines day is, I have yet to have a Valentines day come out like that. I have never seen this holiday without being single. So I end up seeing a bunch of happy couples, and television and the internet is full of ads for happy couples, and what to get him/her ads, and such things. So, not only do I end up feeling left out, I end up looking back at my life, seeing my long, single, loneliness, and feeling like some sort of human defect for my inability to find a guy to be with. It's not the worst feeling in the world, but it doesn't help.

I need to start stabilizing my sleep schedule. Right now, between work and class, I'm alternating between waking up at 11, and waking up at 7, and going to sleep between 11 (this time pm) and 3 (this time am). It leaves me feeling tired the entire week, and I don't think that's a good thing. Especially because I have, on at least 1 or two equations, overslept my 1:30pm class. So I need to start stabilizing the time I go to sleep. May try to do it at 11:30pm, but that would involve me missing the Colbert Report, and it is one of two shows I deem worth watching (the other being the Daily Show). Yet if I don't do something about it, well, I'll probably just end up feeling worse. (The other issue is trying to go to sleep at that time on the weekends. Some nights I don't even get off of work until 11:30...)

Need to also start focusing more on my writing, and on my independent programing projects. Both have fallen by the wayside (curse you Modern Warfare 2 and Sins of a Solar Empire! Curse you both for your hours of pointless, yet entertaining... enterainingness.) So I need to look into doing more of the programming and writing, and less of the gaming (I'd also include NetFlix in that less than, but after getting over the initial How awesome it is, I really only watch about 2 hours of movies a week.)

Anyway, that's all I have at the moment. So ~Night!
