things just happen for no reason

um. It's been almost a month, guys. How did that happen?

dois. I guess I've been super busy with my masters selection process. The first phase was this huge test which is, as a teacher of mine put it, "designed to fail people". Thankfully I was not one of them, because I managed to pass it. Now I'm in the second stage, which is an analysis of my project and my curriculum and an interview. My interview is schedule for Tuesday and I'm already kinda nervous, especially considering I've been sick lately. Got a stupid flu. The worst part is, though, that my voice is pretty much disappearing. How great is that for an interview? "Hey, I can't talk right now, but if you still feel like making me questions I will answer all of them in writing". Yeah, right.

três. Oh, I've also joined a gym! I hate gyms, but I still haven't been able to loose the pounds I put on in Europe, so I have got to do something. Can't see much of a difference yet, but it hasn't even been a month yet, so.

quatro. I can't believe we lost Pushing Daisies *and* Eli Stone in the same day. It's tragic, really.

cinco. Wow, I just realised... only my monday shows will be left? Until, you know, stuff on hiatus come back. But still, it's weird. Oh, no, there's still Friday Night Light. By the way, how much am I loving this season? It's like s1 all over again.

seis. It's saturday night and I'm home. Stupid flu. I wanted to be out, damn it.

(a) I had 13 Going On 30 in the background this afternoon and I still cryed my eyes out. Can someone explain to me how is that even possible? I wasn't even watching the freaking movie!

(b) I managed to do the storylines that were due tomorrow, so that's good.

(c) Tomorrow I have to get a good start on my paper. I just have to, there are no more excuses. The worst part is that I don't have the slightest interest on it. I want to go out, and see people and maybe even paint a little. Man.

(d) So sad Dr Horrible is over. :(

Got home last night. Campos do Jordão was okay. I don't know, the city was pretty and all, but I was mostly hoping to hang out with my friend and she actually got called to start working the exact day I got there, so she was pretty much busy all the time, and I was left alone wandering around. And I didn't really feel like doing turisty stuff alone, so I just... hanged around town. Did a little shopping. Got a dark-grey sweater, two pretty pretty scarfs (one blue and one pink), a bunch of little flowers made of wood and a lot of yummy artesanal chocolate.

In the afternoon I'm gonna enroll myself in a course (especialização, for you, Brazilians) in Cultural Journalism. Let's hope it's good.

Friends' first classic, TOW The Blckout, is on right now. And that's getting me in a huge Friends mood. Now I want to marathon my DVDs. :) I've never done it before. I mean, I have watched every episode more than once, but I've never marathoned the ten seasons watching every episode in order.

------

Still don't know if I'm going to my home city tomorrow (!). My mom is supposed to decide that today. Meanwhile, I'm not grocery shopping, because if I leave for ten days, I can't leave much food in the fridge anyway... So food is starting to run low.

I have to write a 8 page paper on anything we have discussed during last semester but I can't seem to be able to get started because (a) I hated the class and (b) because of that, I have pretty close to no idea what the theacher is actually expecting from us. I hate post-grad school so far, and I'm not even completly in yet. Grrr.

So, I kinda have plans to go to Campos do Jordão this weekend and to my home city next week, but I haven't bought tickets to either. Besides, I feel like I shouldn't really go because of this stupid paper anyway. My mom said I should go, though. She says there's no point in staying in driving myself crazy. I don't know.

By the way... I haven't seen anyone complain, so I might as well just ask: am I the only one who's not getting emails when I get comments?

(a) I didn't get out of the building today, just because. I'll have to do it tomorrow, though, because I need to go grocery shopping.

(b) And I need to buy some medicine as well.

(c) I gotta learn to cook healthy stuff asap. The food my mom sent me is almost finished. Bummer.

(d) Also need a way to organize the recipes, otherwise I'm never gonna be able to do something twice. Anyone knows of a web-based way? A cook site or something?

(e) So, the whole confrotation I was expecting today didn't happen at all, and I have no idea if that's okay or if it's gonna turn out to be even worse later. Not up to me anyway.

(f) Last but not least... I need advice. My grandma is in the US is she's gonna bring me a new laptop, and I need to decide on what I want. So I'm thinking either a vaio or a mac, though I'm a bit aprehensive because I've never used a mac before and I keep thinking I'm gonna have some sort of problem, like not being able to open a file or something. I'm still leaning towards the vaio, I think. I don't know. So, suggestions anyone?

(g) I NEED new icons. New colorful icons. I really need to apply myself so I can have time for these things. If I keep post-poning everything I'm never gonna be able to do the stuff I want to.

YAY!!! My internet is finally installed!!! Can't say how happy I am! :D
Everything is coming together now. I got portraits and furniture and my apartment is starting to feel like home. And that's really good.

Just woke up for the first time in my new appartment. Weird, huh?

Hey, I have an appartment now! Anyone wanna visit me? ;)

I still have a huge list of stuff to buy, but that's okay. I'll get to it tomorrow.
