What did you get?

The birds have been singing for almost an hour and I still haven't finished my paper. But I'm very close so that's what matters. It's only a draft, so I'm not terribly concerned, but it's still worth a decent amount of my grade. I'm not going to edit my previous sections though, so that'll be bad. I'll have to put a little more effort into the final version. As it stands, I really don't give a shit about my grade as long as I pass, so that's fine. I'm tired and words aren't really making sense so [bleep] it I'm out. Edit: Done. 5:10 AM. Word count 5,214.

Haha, I'm doing my best to take it as it comes. My charger is destroyed, but that's not a huge deal. Probably like $5 to replace on amazon. Laptop is seemingly unharmed, as am I and my bed that it was sitting on. I unplugged it pretty quick when the sparks and smoke started coming out of it. I could use a cigarette, but I'm gonna do what I can. Told my roommate that if I needed to stress smoke, I'd give him the pack and he could control my smoking that way. So long as the amount I smoke is getting less over time it's an improvement, but I'm trying to do it as close to "cold turkey" as possible. Cold turkey is a really weird phrase.

In the continued story of my day, my laptop charger just caught fire. And I have to write a paper tonight. Luckily my roommates charger is compatible with my laptop, so it could be worse.

Double post cause [bleep] the Law. Just got a $50 parking ticket while I ran inside to return a $16 book for like less than 5 minutes. [bleep] me. Talked to the guy who wrote the ticket (cause he literally put it on my car like 30 seconds before I got out) and he told me I should be able to contest it and win. But he couldn't take it back cause it was already printed. Tl;dr, I'm so unlucky.

Earth day is pretty okay. It's like any other event to raise awareness though. The hope is that out of how every many people participate for one day, a few of those people will make a lifelong habit out of it. Also, misery selfie.

About to go on run #3. Running is easy, not smoking is harder. But how awful my lungs feel after running is really good incentive to not smoke. I go through pretty frequent cycles of smoking. Usually about a month or two of fairly light smoking (2 packs a month or so) then a month or two of over a pack a week. Then I stop smoking for anywhere from 1 to 4ish months. So I know that first two weeks feeling all to well at this point. Also, thanks for the support guys. I'll post a misery selfie when I'm done.

Day 2 of running is completed. Day 2 of not smoking is, well, in progress. I'm gonna be the healthiest mother [bleep]er y'all have ever seen. Or give up on both things like tomorrow. One or the other.

That's the spirit! Edit: Classic new page.

The same is true for me, but for senior year. The past four years have blown by so quickly.

The aftermath of last night.

In related news, I (and my roommates) raised a little over $200 last night for a local sexual assault crisis center. The cost was my beard however. 1 year 9 months of beard is now gone. It was worth it though.

Doc loaded me up with Prednisone. It worked really well for a couple hours but now my eyes itch again. I'm pretty mad about this whole thing. Of course I would get poison ivy on my face a few day before the only party we're throwing in my senior year. But for real, this is super gross. It better be getting better by Saturday at least or I'm just going to be super pissy about the whole situation.

I think he's like 20 now. We're all getting old. (Okay, he's like 18 but still)

So, I have poison ivy on my face. Specifically my eye. Shit is awful. Going to go to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully they load me up on steroids. Throwing a huge party on Saturday, I don't want to have a face full of poison ivy for it. Edit: Looks like I can probably drink while using corticosteroids. So that's a big plus.

The prequels are objectively bad. That doesn't mean that they can't be entertaining or fun to watch though. It's been too long since I've seen the originals and even then I've only see them each once or twice I think. And that was when I was a little kid. So definitely overdue for a re-watch.

[bleep] off, I'll vote for Emma Watson if I want to!

I could use a half gallon a day myself easily. I disagree with 16 people.

It's almost midnight, I have a bunch of work to do... gonna make some fried chicken instead of working.

10/10 would thread again.

Septuple post might be a new record.

I made it 3 or 4 months this last time too. Fell off the wagon again though. Quitting smoking is honestly absurdly difficult. My personal best is 8 months. Not starting smoking is honestly some of the best advice I can give anyone. Like honestly, there is not a single positive to smoking if you're not addicted. And obviously the only positive for an addict is not feeling like shit. [bleep] 17 year old me for wanting to be cool. On a slightly more upbeat note, I'm going on spring break with my friends in about an hour. Should be fun. Also cigarettes are like $3 less a pack, so I can feed my addiction for cheap. Gas and alcohol are wicked cheap too. Good old New Hampshire having no sales tax. Live free or die, mother [bleep]ers.

i probably failed the class Happened to me once. Left like 2 pages of my Calc 2 final blank and I needed to get a 65 on it to pass the class. Got a miraculous D- in the class and I've never looked back. Hopefully the partial credit gods are kind.

Went to a party last night. I ended up slashing my finger open about 30 minutes in on a broken bottle that got stuck to my boot. I thought it was just a bottle cap so I didn't look first and just slapped at it with my hand. It came off, but I realized that it wasn't a bottle cap when there was a lot of pain and blood. I almost passed out, which is weird cause I'm not bad about pain or blood, but I've never cut myself badly while drinking before so that probably had a bit to do with it. That and maybe the fact that I stuck my finger in my mouth (because that's definitely the normal reaction) and I ended up swallowing a decent amount of blood. Anyways, that put a damper on my evening. I probably should have gotten it stitched up, but [bleep] that noise. Still hurts like a mother [bleep]er, but I champed it and kept drinking for the rest of the night, although certainly not as much as I would have. Moral of the story, look before you leap. Or in this case, before you try to knock something off of your boot.

Got my systematic botany exams at 2:30, not excited for that. But I'm hoping it goes well. Lab exam should be okay, lecture might not go as well. After that I'm essentially free for spring break, other than two meetings tomorrow that should take less than a half an hour each.
