So much has happened since my last update and to be honest I'm in no condition to explain it all so here's a brief overview:

 -My last house has a 10 PM curfew--big no no for me, I like my RHPS midnight showings, thank you.

-I move..we had a day to find me somewhere to live

-I live in basement apartment for 2 more months or so and then I try to move to a commune

I'll post pictures later. 

But anyway, I am sick today. I've been under a bit of stress lately and with all the new exercise I have to do daily (1/2 mile to train, few hundred feet to bus, few feet to other bus, few hundred feet to other building + other campus walking, and then doing it all again to come back home) and my body cannot do all of this with the little food I'm used to putting in it so my body is biting me back through making me sick. Of course despite my sickness I decide that I can go back home and get to class in time in 1 hour when it would normally take a little over 2. I had to go back home because I forgot my supplies. I got back home 10 minutes before class would start and felt about ready to collapse. No way was I doing that again so I e-mailed my teacher and have to take an unexcused absence -- 1 more (even being late!) and I will lose 2 whole letter grades from my final score. Talk about cruel..just means I have absolutely no room for error anymore. This means I will be keeping my supplies in my backpack at all times and NEVER using a different backpack and I will always leave for school no later than 7:30. College is just about learning I guess...lots and lots of learning. Let's hope I don't slip up again. I've already missed two of my other classes because I got lost on campus for a 1.5 hours before realizing their are maps on some of the street lights and the other time dad locked his keys in the van (naw, I was never mad). All of this is just HORRIBLE but I can't help but laugh at everything happening. There's no use crying over spilled milk, done is done. All I can do is not slip up again! Wish me luck!
