September 23, 1997 -- You know, Jewel has a beautiful voice and I like her music, but listening to the words to her music makes me want to kill myself. That song "Foolish Games", I was watching MTV and it came on. I thought it was really cool until I started listening to the words. Then I had to shut it off because it was just too depressing. Go figure.

But anyway. I had breakfast in a dining hall today, much like most mornings. But today I actually got a scoop of lukewarm eggs and a stale croissant. Yummy. I ended up losing my appetite, also much like most mornings...but today I sculpted my eggs into a little pentagon and had pieces of croissant do fly-by air raids. People only looked at me funny when I started making airplane noises.

Okay. I didn't really do all of that. I just sculpted the eggs then brought my tray to the dish room.

I'm home again now. It suprises me how quickly I started calling my apartment home. But I guess home is where you keep your underware and your computer. But I could do without the spiders. I just smashed another one. That makes three this afternoon. One itty-bitty one crawled over my shirt while I was sitting in my bean-bag chair...that one didn't scare me. One itty-bitty one in the sink...I just washed him down the drain. Hold on...the toilet is stuck flushing the last one...be right back.

The toilet likes to run fresh water for a long time...it gets stuck sometimes with that little stopper thing letting the water run through instead of filling the tank and stopping until you flush. All I had to do was tap the little stopper and unstick it. All better.

But back to that last spider. Man, was he big! He scared the hell out of me. I just looked down and I saw this big black spot running across my rug. Man, he was big! I was so shaken up I tossed a tissue over him and stomped on it. Then I left it there a little while so I could calm down. I hate spiders. But I'm better now and I scooped him up at flushed him.

Why do I always call spiders 'him'? Is that me subconsciously hating men too? ;) Works for me! (Kidding! Really!!)

I'm burning some incense to help me relax before my test tonight in Orgo. I think it's Kashmir...it's supposed to invoke willpower and assertion. So far I don't think it's working because I studied for three hours then gave up, determining it was a lost cause and I would most certainly fail no matter how much I studied. But maybe it's just me....or maybe I found the energy to work on my web page again and I don't want to deal with any more Orgo today. ;)

Then again, maybe three hours is enough.
Wish me luck.
