Oreos, Headaches, and Lord of the Rings...

So it's been a bit...
Did you miss me?
Ah, of course you did!!

My mother worries about my diet, as right she should. Though, true, I have a mealplan, and I get there almost all ten times a week, I also have a habit of snacking...and the snack of choice? You guessed it: Oreos. Ah...it may be milk's favorite cookie, but I saw it first!! And five boxes later I'm still not sick of it...though having gotten to the point I can eat half a package in one sitting, I've decided to tone it down and eat only half a row instead. Yes, Emma is learning a bit of self-control...
(And for those who think that buying that many boxes in the first place disproves that, let me inform you that I bought them a few months ago and just forgot about them until now!)
Yesterday, my diet took an interesting turn when after finishing my quota of Oreos, I had a children's vitamin and an apple...so I'm going healthy in reverse? Huh...

The things that are giving me a headache at this time...well...
History class. I love it and I hate it. There's so much reading!! And it's interesting and fascinating and I just want to burn my textbooks...a fine line between love and hate...but I'm keeping with it, and I've already registered for two more history courses next semester, so look out, here I come...can't hold me back!!
English also gives headaches. I have a paper that just won't do what it's supposed to. Which is, of course, come together in such a brilliant way that the teacher can't help but give me an A+++. (Yes, that grade DOES exist!!) But I'm struggling, and it's hard to focus when I can't get it right off the bat...ah well...
The kids at my lunch table are a bit...well...I like one of them? And I want to break off completely from the rest of them. Except I don't want to be lonely either. So I continue to sit. And to be amazed at how such smart kids can be so dumb. And I hate it...but no one else will talk to me and I don't know why.
Finding a parking spot is also stressful. I haven't left the dorm since I got back from Colorado because I had a spot right up front, and I knew I'd lose it if I left. So things I needed to do, like go to the bank, buy tampons, anything that I don't want a crowd for, didn't get done. Until this afternoon...where I got lost. And spent more time than I wanted. But then find, to my surprise, my up-front and personal parking space is still empty upon my return. Worry wasted...
Another worry I find myself carrying: my brother and sister do not answer their phones...and though I might talk on Facebook to them, it's not the same. And maybe it's only been a few days...but I need contact with family. Mom and Katey are good fun, and Maggie can carry a conversation for a bit...but I want the funky not-so-intelligent but still smarter than me focus I get from Jessie, Eric, Ellen...though I see Elle is busy with her new horse, and she did call back, if only for a short chat. I'm lonely maybe? And I don't know where to find good people...
Knitting is both a joy and a torture. I'm big on crocheting things. I've made scarves and blankets...and I decided I wanted to finally learn to knit...and the progress goes so much slower...I don't see results. I'm just impatient. Instant results, that's why I bought the pills!! Haha, but seriously, I'm glad that I'm learning it, I just wish I could focus better...another one of those not-quite-coming-together things.
I suppose the biggest thing that causes headaches, though, is just a simple like of hydration. I feel like a slob...I haven't done dishes, so I have no cups to drink from, and I only drink a single glass of whatever I choose that day at lunch and supper. I haven't taken a shower, only washed my hair twice, in the last week, and that's a big loss of H2O. And forget the 'ultra moisture' body lotion that makes my skin so pretty, I'm lucky if I remember to brush my hair...what's wrong with me? Disgusting...and I don't care either. I'm actually kind of happy this way.
And I'm starting to enjoy the headaches...
God...
Sorry, I meant that in a blasphemous way, haha...

I think...
I'm losing focus here too.
I don't care right now.
So if you really want to know what Lord of the Rings has to do with anything, just ask me later, okay?

Hope your lives are a bit saner than mine appears to be...
