It has been a horrific week this week. Failed a chem midterm (haven’t gotten it back yet, but I’m pretty sure that I did because I’m just that confident in my failing capabilities), passed my bio midterm (!!!) and still have a nice small mountain of work to do for next week. So today, after four hours straight of sitting in lectures and listening to people talk at me, I went home, watched some GH (turns out that we had cable problems, it didn’t tape) for about 5 seconds before it went black, then I did random stuff before dinner, ate dinner, fixed my sister’s bracelet and made this necklace with the green pearls that Kels got me for last year over spring break from Spain.

It has been quite a while since I’ve made anything for myself, so I’m quite please with it. It’s kind of short, but not quite a choker. It’s quite formal, actually, so I’m not quite sure what I am going to do with it. But it catches the light quite well, actually. The green beads are glass, the spacers are chemically antiqued to darken the silver colour, the wire is nylon coated beading wire and yes, there is a filigree bead on the end of the extending chain (which is, incidentally, my favourite part of it).

Laura, Phoenix Wright is the main character of the (first three) game(s) where you play the character and go around collecting evidence in order to get a not guilty verdict for your client. But as far as I can tell for the first four cases that I’ve done (the game has 5 cases in total), Phoenix just snaps up cases like a day or two before the case goes to trial… Way too much pro bono work being done in that game, haha. But I like it, it involves quite a bit of thinking, but it’s a mostly text-based game and just basic recalling facts (sometimes it gets confusing and I get stuck… Thank goodness for walkthroughs online!).

And happy day for Johnny & Lulu fans (from General Hospital…): They’re finally ‘together’ together! I was so happy. Although Logan getting whacked over the head with a wrench isn’t the best way for those two to get together. Actually, that’s a horrible way for them to get together because Lulu was the one that hit him over the head. And Diego is alive, and the TMK! (Erm… That’s ‘Text Message Killer’ for the non-GH fans out there!)

Much to do this week. Mostly school-related and enough to make me want to cry. But I suppose that it is back to studying chemistry now. Would you like to take a three-question midterm on Thursday? Sounds simple, right? But the midterm from last year has 3 problems and in total was worth 45 marks (17 + 8 +20). What does that mean for me? Well… For starters, it means that I am screwed. And secondly, it means that I am very screwed. Good times. I know that I won’t be sleeping on the bus tomorrow! (Although I really wish that I will be.)

I should stop spending money. I went to Michaels today with my sister and we bought got stuff, but in our defense, there was a huge sale going on. Everything that we got was either 50 or 40% off. I bought two packages of silver crimp tubes because I’m running out, I also bought a package of antique silver (not actually antique, just made to look that way) key charms. There’s three different styles (I see a new charm bracelet in the future) and 10.97m (that’s 12 feet, for you Americans) of silver chain. I stopped myself from buying another package of jump rings because I (at this time) have quite a bit. However, the best thing that I got was Beadalon Designer Crimper, which was a belated Christmas gift from my sister. Which was nice, considering the retail price for the crimping pliers was $22! My sister bought over $40 worth of yarn. (All 50% of though… So she got twice what she would have gotten, normally, for that price… Which justifies it, sort of.) It was nice, shopping and all. I debated buying some polymer clay as well, because I’ve been meaning to experiment a little to make my own charms, but I decided to wait, considering I was spending enough money today on craft supplies. But seriously, the crimping pliers are the best jewelry pliers that I own right now (mostly because the set of mini-pliers that I got earlier were the ‘cheap’ kind, but they’re still in great condition so I haven’t gotten around to upgrading to the ‘nicer’ pliers) and the grip is quite nice.

And yes, I realized that I just wrote an entry all about buying things at Michael. But I am seriously in love with those pliers. And I’ve been watching Stargate Atlantis season 2 on dvd because my sister bought it a week ago. Which has renewed my love affair with Dr. Carson Beckett.

…

Yes, I realize how pathetic that sounded (love for inanimate objects and love for a television show character). I so need to get a life…
