Ow, my fucking stomach!

Yeah.

Fuck my stomach.

No, please don't.

I'd probably get sick.

But in all seriousness, my stomach sucks ass right now. Bad. I even went to the doctor about it. I bought some thirty dollar pills that were supposed to fix it.

They don't really seem to work for me.

So now I have to go home and see a specialist for my stomach because I can't live like this everyday.

Interestingly, my stomach seems to only hurt at night time. Which I suppose is a good sign maybe? Because it's regular? I don't know. I only vomit after dinner, too.

I feel very tired lately. Just sleepy as hell. I took a nap for over an hour today. Granted I didn't sleep very well last night, but I slept well the night before that and I still felt too tired for words.

I watched The Devil's Rejects last night when I couldn't sleep. Pretty something movie right there. I can't really tell you if I liked it or not. It was interesting, and they said fuck a lot for sure, but I don't know. It wasn't as fun as House of 1000 Corpses.

I got some MMORPG in the mail to review called RF Online. I kind of like it in a sick way. I'm going to play it a lot this weekend. Rita's going to a conference and I've been helping her out all week with getting her shit together for it. Maybe that's why I'm tired. Her and I have been dating for two months. It's going well.

So, I've been thinking a lot about the summer lately. Not sure what to expect of this summer. I'm trying to get a job at Boston Scientific again. Just for the hours. But I want to work at EB and Regal too. I figure if I can get 40 hours at Boston Scientific, I can save most of that money for the shit I want (which right now is: a new cell phone, a monitor for my laptop, and a PS3) and for school. I figure then I can use the money from EB and Regal to pay for most of my day-to-day expenses and shit. I really need to save up though. I really want a monitor for this laptop so I can just put it aside finally and run it like a desktop and I know I'm going to want a PS3. Ultimately, my goal is to be able to purchase not one, but two PS3s at launch, so that way I can sell one of those motherfuckers on EB for a grand when it comes out, but I'm sure I won't.

Other than that, I'd like to play some games over the summer I think. I kind of miss sitting in the basement at my house and just relaxing and playing games. My dad is finishing the family room and hopefully getting a projector, so if I want to I could hook my Xbox and shit up to that and play games all bossed out. I've got a list of about four games I really want to play right now that I'm waiting until I work to start up. Grandia III, Metal Gear Solid III: Subsistence, Black, and Daxter for PSP. Of course, I also want to play the new Half-Life 2 expansion, but I'm sure I'll get that before summer if it's released.

But, at the same time, I'm not looking forward to the summer as much as normal. It'll be nice to relax and see the guys pretty much all the time and the like, but not seeing Rita daily is going to be an interesting thing. Sure, Boston Scientific will give me weekends off and I'm sure the two of us will go back and forth more times than we should to see each other, but I've gotten rather accustomed to seeing her everyday and I think she has gotten the same for me. I missed her...so much...over break, and that was only five days. I'm sure in the summer I'll get used to not being around so much, but it's going to be hard. I'm sure we'll be fine.

All of this summer thinking was spurred on by the fact that we have to start planning for next year already. We're trying to get a suite in Onondaga, with me, Jon, Anthony, Zach, Dan, and Sean maybe living together. I think it will be nice living with all of them. I'm rooming with Anthony next year hopefully. I started looking at the classes I'm going to take next semester. I don't know all the classes I want to take yet, but I'll get there I'm sure. I'm meeting with Dr. Warkentin next week hopefully to go through it and get the next year of my life planned out. I'm hoping to get most of my major done before he leaves for sabbatical. I don't really want to have to deal with a new advisor that I don't really know.

Well, that's my life. I bought LCD screenwipes the other day and my monitor is amazingly clear right now and I love it. These are the highlights of my life my friends.

I like having one blanket. Not a comforter and a blanket, not a sheet and a blanket, just a comforter. I need to have it on me to sleep. Just one. Not two layers. Not three layers. I can't sleep with a sheet. I need a comforter on me to sleep day and night, summer and winter. I use the same blanket year-round.

Now, it's drying in the washer.

I washed it this afternoon so that when I come back from school it won't be scummy. Fresh sheets to sleep on in my room that I'm going to be miserable in all summer. Yum. I dried it for 80 minutes on high and threw it on my bed before going out. I got back, got into bed, and the blanket was still wet. What the fuck. So, I threw it in the dryer for another 40 minutes. I just went to the dryer and I pulled it out. Nice and warm. And then wet and cold in spots. So now it's in for another 40 minutes.

The total drying time, if you're keeping up, is 160 minutes. Now, if you happened to sit through King Kong, it's about as long as that, which is entirely too long.

Speaking of movies, I saw The Hills Have Eyes over break. Sweet movie. I laughed out loud in the theater, cheered, and even threw the horns up during one scene. It was fun. I thought I would hate it but I think I might even go as far as buying it when it comes out. I also watched The Weatherman, which features Nicolas Cage as a weatherman living a crappy life, and that movie was awesome. It's so sad that you can't help but laugh at it. It was surprising. I was really looking forward to watching it and I'm surprised I wasn't disappointed by it.

Tomorrow I leave for Oswego, 4 days early.

Yeah, going back to school early during Spring Break. What a weird thing.

I've got papers to write. Two papers on the Middle East in general, then I want to get started on a paper on Yemen and a paper on Egypt for Middle East Politics. Warkentin loves making us work. Good man. I got an A- on his test (a 93). I was very happy with the results. I'm going to miss that guy when he leaves Oswego in 2007.

And yeah, Rita is at school, and that's definately a reason I'm going to go back so soon. I miss her.

I have to read for Comparitive Politics too (about India I think). I need to apparently step it up in that class. I seem to have trouble with that professor. I don't really know about her. She rips apart my papers when I hand them in, but ironically, Dr. Warkentin sent me an email about my papers for his class and said I was a great writer. So I don't know what to do about all that but try harder and read more.

I think I have something do for Public Policy and Administration. That class is so boring. The test was awful too. But I can do alright on all of my papers and stuff for it, so I should be fine with a B or so.

That's all. Nothing too exciting happened over break. I'm glad to be going back to school. Hopefully my blanket will dry soon and I can go to bed. I wanted to sleep at 12:30...
