Bah. I am discouraged today.

Firstly, my LUSH order, containing three Yule presents, will not be coming in until "right before New Years'." Because when I ordered on the 14th, the website did not mention that the cutoff they listed for Christmas orders was actually Ground Express. Nope. And because it's already on a pallet ready to ship, I can't upgrade the shipping. Which means I may lose my window of opportunity with which to use one of those gifts. Which makes me cranky.

Secondly, I got my grades. All A range except for an obnoxious B+ in Faulkner. However, this means my GPA is 3.753, and it may be mathematically impossible for me to get a 3.8 cumulative by next semester. This makes me want to huddle in a little ball somewhere and not peek my head out. I was so confident about being able to pull my grades up to Summa Cum Laude level, and now it looks like I'll be second tier. Boo hoo, cry me a river, I know. I just wanted to do better.

Thirdly, I'm ready to go back to school. Thus far this week, I've spent nine near-consecutive hours in a car with my entire immediate family (in New York City traffic, to boot), fought with my little sister over a tube of lip gloss (being around her makes me act five years old), switched sleeping quarters twice, had-to-send-out-emergency-emails-typing-like-this-because-andrea-spilled-soda-all-over-the-keyboard, and all sorts of other fun things. I can't wait until the solitude of Jan. Term.


On the plus side, we got a saltwater fishtank currently poplulated by two clownfish and a yellow tang. It's really pretty-- our cats are entranced. Tomorrow, I have to help Mike pull off a dinner party, and Saturday, we'll be all over creation doing the family thing. As for today, I'm going to bake, because I promised Jeff cookies.

But still. Meh. I'm whiny as hell today. Please disregard me.

*hugs* Aren't family gatherings such FUN?

Sorry to hear about the grades thing, but on the bright side, that GPA isn't exactly bad, either. Would that it make you feel better, for all the crap you had to deal with this past semester, I'm proud of ya, kid. :)

BTW not sure if you're reading email or your flist while on holiday, but when you get a chance, pls add "hagakaze" to your flist -- I am standing up a new LJ in the coming week and trying to keep things simple for everyone. Thx. :)

And it's okay to be whiny -- that's what LJ is for!

Aww I'm sorry to hear that :/ Nine Hours in close quarters with family = Crap but in NYC traffic its double crap. I've been there (well I live here but you follow!).

What's a good day to call/email re: meeting up? I ask cause my plans got rather a huge kink in them o.o

You can call my cell at any time (the number is in my last post). I'd say call me because I'll be uber-busy over the next few days. Mike says meeting up is fine, so we'll figure it out.

*hugs* I hope your holiday gets better. Keep smiling! =)

Which Lush product? I work a few doors down from Lush in Georgetown and I'll be working there tomorrow. Shipping from DC to Baltimore should at most, be two days.

Sarah-- it was a whole slew of things. A few bombs, a few bubblebars, a glitterbug for my little sis. It was a $50 order, most of which was for Yule. It's no sense in re-buying it all, but thank you. However, next time I'm contemplating an order, I might consider just paypalling you the money and you can pick it up for me. :)

Instant gratification is good! Paying $7.95 for a Whipstick then losing it is bad >:o But like I've told other people, if you want a few items, buying from the store is great. Buying in bulk at a store is bad for the wallet.

I still have a pink glitterbug from last Christmas that I never used, if you would like that.

Bah. I enjoy your entries and I've rather missed them since your hiatus. And don't sweat the small stuff. If you can't vent in LJ, what the hell is it for? :)

I'll trade you my 2.890 grade point average, if you like.
