9:30pm-DINNER! it's pizza! ::sings teenage mutant ninja turtles theme song::

yeah so that's me.
total bblleeech.

it turns out my graduate classes this semester are much harder then the past semesters, and the professors who teach them are not really all there mentally =__=  plus my job is still short 3 or 4 people, and it looks like the 2 new people that are getting hired won't be starting until december or january  +___+

and i have to get a new emergency inhaler tomorrow from my super busy doctor before my exam because my old one somehow emptied in my backpack...plus i might have contracted TB from some jerk at work who's infected apparently, but my job won't tell me who and whether or not i work directly with them. >_<

oh well, i may be feeling crappy and having to take sick days, but at least the annual PICKLE FESTIVAL is going on this weekend in NYC. if you live close, you need to go! so awesome :3  hopefully i am feeling well enough to eat pickles to my heart's content on sunday...and make sure to try the curried pickled herring if you go because it's actually good, surprisingly! on a related note, the whole foods in the area started carrying one of my favorite pickle guy's pickles, yippeeeee Good for him! :)
