Gah, I’m so horribly bored. All I do all day is stare blankly into the computer screen. My eyes hurt like hell. I guess I just sit here waiting for someone to talk to. Damn, I need more hobbies that don’t involve looking into a screen.
Check out tomorrow night! In what will with most certainty be the most boring New Year’s Eve in my nineteen-year history, I will do absolutely nothing!
The only good news I’ve had in the past few days is that I won $4 on one of those instant scratch-off lottery games! Weeew! The ticket cost $2, so I made a net gain of $2! Weeew!
Great, in the past two days I uploaded about 260 pictures to my new pictures site pictures.newkai.com. I opened it to the public yesterday and people are visiting it like mad. That’s always good. At least my work is being appreciated. 212 of those pictures are from my senior year of high school. Nearly one hundred are from my senior trip alone. Now I’m going to get back to video production! Yeah… I got to find some way to keep myself busy!
Great, I’ve spent the entire day uploading pictures onto a newly formed picture site of mine, which I’ll open in a few days. Well, actually I used the Yahoo! Photo thing, but it is still hell uploading all those pictures (in groups of six) and naming them all. So far I’ve uploaded about 170 or so. I just found another batch of at least a hundred. Great… Well… I’m doing it for my class, as these are all pictures of my senior year of high school. Anyway, I got to get back to the uploading…
Great, it snowed over two feet (2/3 meter) today. I guess no one really cared though, because just about everybody stayed inside. Well, I’m off to bed now, as there is nothing at all else to do.
Well, I’m back from my break from weblogging… I get sick of it every so often, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I mean, think about it… As lazy as I am can you see how it might become a problem writing stuff every day? Anyway, I’ll start tomorrow (see, I’m lazy).
Ahh, exam week… What a pain! Helped of course by the fact that I am a total idiot. Take yesterday for example:
I was supposed to hand an English paper in between noon and four. I forgot! I remembered at six, and snuck in to the classroom building and pushed it under my professor's door. Great, I hope he still accepts it. Anyway, I'll write more once this hellish week is over.
Weeeeeeew! The semester is over! Time party like mad hell all night! In a few days I have a few exams, and then it's off to Vestal, where I will most likely spend five weeks.
I'm making today a major cleaning day. Not that the room looks terrible, all right, my side sort of does, but I need to clean dishes, and do a little bit of uncluttering. Last night's partying was pretty uneventful; it was sort of a sausage party (only guys).
For some reason I have the ability and the urge to get up after a few hours of sleep after a long night of partying. Seriously, I got up around 7:30 this morning, while my friends probably won't be up anytime before noon. Yeah, I'm just strange.
Great, jetlag is really killing me this time around. When I flew to Vienna I noticed I a lot, and last night I suddenly felt dead tired at 9:30! This morning I then awoke at seven, and now I got up even though I don't have a class until 10:30.
Great, I have a lot of writing to do! Well, my Vienna trip was great!
Two Fridays ago (the 22nd) my mom picked me up from college and we drove to Syracuse, where after she bought me stuff we spent the night there and I flew out the next morning. The JetBlue flight to JFK was fun. There were all these pilots of other airlines sitting next to me, so I had a pretty safe feeling. There was also this first-time-flyer girl next to me who kept getting nervous every time the tiniest things happened, like the lights being turned off or the plane shaking a bit. Basically I just watched CNN the whole flight, which is only 45 minutes of actual airtime.
I had several hours of layover at JFK, which I basically spent sitting by my gate watching CNN! Security was also fun throughout the trip. I have become a master at bypassing the at-gate extra checks. In Syracuse I snuck in behind those other pilots, which weren't subject to the extra checks I guess. At JFK I also just quickly ran into the jetway.
Anyway, on the Vienna flight I was quite lucky, in that I had two seats free next to me. This meant I could actually sleep, because I have a habit of randomly falling over when sleeping while sitting, and otherwise I would have fell on someone. My dad picked me up from the airport and I basically spent the entire day sitting on the couch either chatting with people online or randomly falling asleep.
Monday was incredibly boring. All I did the entire day (all right, I did sleep until like noon) was buy a blank tape for my camcorder and wash and vacuum the car.
Monday night I couldn't sleep at all, and while lying in bed I decided I didn't want to be bored for another day, so I went to school that morning around ten.
I snuck into the school by ringing the bell at the elementary school. No one checked who I was, and I went right down to the senior lounge, where I met two or three people. I then decided to become legal and went to the high school office to get a visitor's pass. I was feeling horribly awkward, so I hung out in the art room for a while. Towards the end of the lunch block I decided to make a big appearance. Immediately I ran into everybody I had come to Vienna to see (girls).
Wednesday I went to school again! That night I partied with my friends Johanna, Beth, and Emmelie. It was a horribly fun way to celebrate my birthday which started at midnight. I got home around four.
Thursday sucked during the day. I hate the feeling you get after you had a great night partying, and then you wake up in the morning and everything seems horribly dull and boring. It was so bad Thursday, that I still was in a bad mood when I partied that night with several of my friends from my class. We went to some show bar, where they did all this fire stuff.
Friday I had PPD (Post Party Depression) again during the day. That night I went out with Beth to a bar for about two hours. That night was the only night I got home early (around 12:30). I actually caught up on sleep!
Saturday I actually didn't have PPD (sleep prevents it?), and that night I partied with several friends from my class again. We went and saw Die Another Day. I found it too sci-fi for a Bond movie.
After three hours of sleep I got up and got myself to the airport, where I snuck past the huge lines by checking in business class with my "Star Alliance Silver" card, even though they say you need the gold card to do it, they never stop me. I then got in line for the flight, which was huge as well, but then I saw they also had a business class line, so I took it. I once again snuck by extra security checks. My seat was in the absolute last row of the plane. Luckily the toilets were in the middle, and not next to me. Some guy I had met the night before, who graduated from my high school in 2000 coincidentally had the seat next to me.
Back at JFK the immigration guy was horribly suspicious of me, and he checked my passport like five times and checked to see if I was really on the flight I had written down on my customs card. I then took a bus from JFK to Manhattan, to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
All hell was breaking loose there. You couldn't tell where any of the lines for the gates were. I got on the bus though, and it went to Albany. There I transferred to a bus to Syracuse, which stops in Utica.
The bus driver got horribly lost, and headed back towards New York City for about twenty minutes before realizing it and getting of the Thruway to turn around, which he did in some house's driveway. That's got to be strange for the people living there! "Honey, there's a Greyhound bus in the Driveway!" He then got lost in Utica again, as he couldn't find the bus station. Some guy went up front and helped him find it. I finally got back to college around 12:40 this morning.
It was a great trip though, and I already horribly miss Vienna again. Oh well…
