It's been awhile

I've been a little busy.  Grad school is just as hectic this semester. 

Tonight I have to finish my presentation on the Molasses Reef and Highborn Cay shipwrecks.  And I'm baking chocolate mint cookies to make everyone love me.  Yes, I'm shamelessly bribing my classmates.  I don't want to do anything though, I'm so damn tired.

I am also apartment hunting.  The big burner - the ONLY big burner - on my stove is out and although I've sent in three maintenance requests about it (the first two were about it not working properly, the last one was about it completely breaking - I can press my hand flat on it, and it'll be stone cold AFTER being turned on high for 5 minutes) and an email about it.  I've had enough.  This is bull.

My outside light is finally fixed, and I can occasionally coax some warm water out of my shower after running it for 10-15 minutes first, so that is at least helpful.

But being on a diet is cruddy enough without not having a big burner on my stove, rendering me unable to make stir-fry, curry, or pretty much anything.  I'm roasting a batch of brats right now and will microwave them over the course of the week, praying the burner will be fixed sometime and I can cook again.

Oven is smoking again.  Guess I need to open my front window.  There.  I have started turning on my fan and placing it directly below my smoke alarm every time I cook, and I have been spared more evil shrieks, thank goodness.  It's still irritating as all get out though.  The noise from fans drives me nuts, particularly the ungodly loud one over the stove.

The weather is also being irritating.  It snowed Thursday night and it's supposed to snow again Tuesday GAH!



It sucks.

Oh well should get back to work.  Yay, grad school.
