sitting, waiting, wishing ...

So, instead of studying for my ridiculously hard final on friday.. I decided to revamp my blog a bit. It was productive actually, I think I like the layout. I'm taking a break from studying for the afternoon, and getting back at it in the evening. Procrastination at its finest ... I knew this blog was a bad idea.

Currently, Desmond is writing a really hard test, and I am trying to send good vibes from two hours away .. I hope its working.

I don't really have any new updates. Other than having moved out of my old place into Des's sister, Amanda's construction zone basement. Well, really its her husband Colby's construction zone. I actually really like it.. it's quiet (apart from the occasional construction), no cat, big room. Perfect place for exam time. Plus I get to be around family (even if they are upstairs and I act like a hermit in the basement studying). Actually, it was Colby who pointed out my hermit-ness. I prefer studious, although currently studying has nothing to do with my lack of socialization -- like I said procrastination at its finest.

There are some difficulties that come along with living temporarily in a basement. First... I don't have a kettle. For those of you who know me, I have around 8 cups of tea a day (I may have actually under-estimated on that one). Currently, I am boiling water in a deep (ish) pan. That's the second thing that's difficult. Having no pots. Trying to use a pan to make rice, pasta, and soup in.. not so fun. Another daunting task is trying to find things. I have given up on trying to find many things. Tupperware containers will be their home until I get into my new place in June - which by the way I am more than excited for.

Plus, its a basement... and well its spring time. Still not following? Spiders. Stupid, darned, disgusting, creepy, hideous, make me cry every time I see you, spiders. And spiders + kaylee + no boyfriend = not a fun time. Because my usual tactic is to either scream, and have him come running, or place a glass cup over top of the stupid, darned, disgusting, creepy, hideous, make me cry thing. Glass, so that I can still see it and make sure it hasn't crawled away to go make more spider babies. So now, without anyone to kill my worst enemy - I am stuck with a dilemma. I can't cover it and wait the couple days until Desmond comes .. because although I know its trapped, the idea of it being alive and in my house will just prevent me from thinking about anything but spiders crawling all over me in my sleep, therefore causing a lack of sleep. Squish it with toilet paper? Nope.. might touch my hand. Wack it with something? Nope.. aim sucks and it could get away. If I am wearing shoes I would just quickly step on it.. but if I'm not wearing shoes, then I have no idea. Because if I leave the room to go grab shoes, then I fear it gets away, and the thought of there being a free, alive spider somewhere is WAY worse then the thought of one being under glass. SO, point of that story? Thank god I bought slippers - I have committed to wearing them 24/7, and putting them at the side of my bed incase of a late night bathroom run.

After all of that reading... I bet you're wondering why I chose sitting, waiting, wishing as my blog title? ... if you're not, I'm still going to tell you. I thought that was obvious.. I am currently doing all of those things. Sitting... on my bed. Waiting... for exams to be over and the fun to start. Wishing... I wasn't sitting on my bed and waiting for exams to be over, and that they were just done now. Oh, and wishing for magnificent grades in my following 3 finals (and 2 previous)... not the hardest request exam gods is it?
