Absurd Tuna

The Absurdities of My Life… And Tuna.

So, it’s been a while

Hello!

My, it has a been a few months since the last post.  I’ll do as much updating as possible since my last post.

May:
-Went to MTAC. Survived though the Nashville Floods that weekend and was forced to stay in Nashville an extra day waiting for the floors to recede.
-Got back to campus right before the due date of some of our finals.
-Moved off campus for the summer and back to Nashville, got a summer job as a waitress.

June:
-Worked mainly, lol.
-Worked on my tan whenever I could. B]

July:
-Celebrated the 4th of July with my family
-Worked more
-Got a ballin’ 32-inch TV for my dorm room. :D

That’s really that’s happened this summer. :/ Family pictures are next week and family vacation is the beginning of next month. I’m getting a new laptop then as well. I might be going to Dragoncon. I move back to campus in mid-August. There’s just been nothing of interest to really blog about lately.

:/ Well, until things pick up….

Just an update

Sorry that it’s been like a month since I’ve last updated for anyone who keeps up. I’ve been, sadly, really busy. Work has been more time-consuming than I originally thought it was. Oh, well. Money is a really nice thing to have.

So, MTAC is a definite thing. Going with my buddy Hannah this weekend. We’re getting a hotel and touring Nashville and going to the con on Saturday. It should be fun. I’ll post some pictures  from the trip whenever I get a chance.

I’ve been so stressed out lately. I’ve had to finish three papers, do a lot of final work, and write a short story for a class. I’m finished with all of it besides one paper that I need to make additions to and the short story. I just can’t wait for the year to be over with so I can go home and have a break.

So, I think I’m going to start living under the feeling of “when it rains, it pours”.  This is definitely the most work that I’ve had in my whole college career at the end of a semester. It’s crazy. I’ve also had a few tastes of drama with friends that I won’t go into, but I’ve been dealing with. On top of that, I’m still working part-time at the Smoothie place. The worst part? Work feels like more an escape from the bull crap than anything else.

Anyway, I’ll stop complaining for the moment. I’ll restart my blogroll once the summer starts and I have a chance to take a breath.

Crazy Busy and Happy Easter!

Yes, I’ve been crazy busy for the last few weeks. I’ve had two papers and a short story to write along with all the homework that I’ve been given by my other classes. It’s been hard to think of things to write for this place because although I haven’t been bored, nothing too interesting has happened. Just work and chilling out with friends.

I finished the short story and the unrevised version can be found here. Warning, there is harsh language and sexual situations.

Besides that, I have plans to go to MTAC this year. I’m going to have to be very good about my paychecks for the next few weeks. Luckily, my parents live just down the street from the con, so I can go home and eat, but I’m still shacking up in a hotel with whoever is going with us.

What else is there to mention? Oh! I’ve been looking at Grad school with MFA programs for Creative Writing. I’m seriously thinking about getting a Master’s, if not a Doctorate in Creative writing. I still want to become a teacher, but I want this dream too. I feel like it’s all attainable.

Well, that’s all for now. Happy Easter!

Spring Break

Posted by Jessica on March 7, 2010 at 9:08 am in Ramblings, life

Hello!

This week is my Spring Break and I’m back home. I’m over my sick and I feel a lot better. :)

It’s so refreshing to be back home, it’s been over a month since I’ve been here because of work and the like. I’ve just been so busy lately, it’s crazy.

Anyway, so today I saw Alice in Wonderland. I thought that it was interesting. :)

Oh yes! I finally realized that one of my favorite things to do is to support local artists whenever I find one that I really like and today I have found a woman by the name of Jamie Liana. She is an amazing New Aged artist centered in Nashville, TN. Clicking her names leads you to her Myspace page where you can listen to her music. She is also available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

I had another local artist that I had learned about in Knoxville, but I’m not sure how to link to them. :( It appears that they’ve either disbanded or who knows what. This is is the only let down about local artists is when they fade into oblivion and you can’t find them anymore.

Anyway, that’s all for now. :)

Sickly

Posted by Jessica on February 24, 2010 at 1:43 am in classes, life

So, I woke up Saturday with a sore throat. I didn’t sleep well the night before because I kept waking up to coughing fits and the like. So, all day Saturday, I was kind of tired and coughing. The sore throat went away with a nice peppermint.

Sunday was more of the same. I woke up with another sore throat (I guess I was sleeping with my mouth open). Another peppermint and it was gone. It was also another night of bad sleep and I was starting to get testy when it came to talking to people. I was starting to get apathetic.

Monday, I woke up without a sore throat, but I was still coughing and feeling generally miserable. By the end of the night, I felt like I was going to start crying. I took some Nyquil and went to sleep.

This morning, I woke up after not getting enough sleep enough I definitely laid down for seven hours. I called the campus clinic and they got me in super early. So, I went and they told me that I have bronchitis and I might have pneumonia, so I got a chest x-ray to see if that were the case. The doctor said he wasn’t sure and said that I needed a blood test to test for something else that turned out to be negative. He gave me a breathing test and for someone who doesn’t have asthma, I was breathing like an asthmatic. It was kinda worrisome.

He put me on some steroids and antibotics and I’m feeling better, but I’m not really breathing better. I’m kinda worried.

Anywho~! Away from that, I’ve just been kinda blah about school lately. There’s a lot going on for me and I’m not falling behind or anything. I feel pretty good about everything, I think I’m just started to get burned out on this semester. I need some time at home. I haven’t been able to go home as much since I got my job. I miss my family a lot, but I go home for springbreak next Friday, so I’m really happy about that

Well, that’s all for now!

What’s going on with you?
