Hey look! Over there! (quick before reality catches up)

Well its been a little while, so maybe an update on the fast and exciting life of Laura ...right.

its spring break now, so I should either be sunning on a beach or studiously reducing my work-load for the rest of the term. hehe. Funny joke. Rather than that, I've spent the past few days either drinking, laying in bed hungover (ok, that was only Sunday, really...) or messing around on this bloody computer. Small secret - I randomly play computer games, and get sucked in! *gasp*. I've got a lot on my mind I guess, and I don't really want to think about any of it, so, well, I'm not. Yeah! Reject reality! sheesh

I bought a book at the hospital the other day - Gai-Jin by James Clavell. its the only one in his Asian Saga I haven't read yet, or own for that matter, so it was a good find. and at only 2 bucks! cant go wrong. Read until the wee hours of the morning, and justified it because it was borderline educational.

I was in the hospital because my grandfather is in there, suffering out his remaining time on this earth. I feel so numb about that. I think that that's why I can write it down so coldly. It only hits me randomly, like when I see pictures of him happy and healthy, and I just break down. Life is so unfair. I've been waiting at home for the phone to ring. Jumping out of my skin whenever it does, and dreading what news will be on the other line. Quick - find me a way to ignore reality again.

I will admit that I left the apartment today: I went out to the bank and paid off my tuition - finally. Well, at least at one university. I'm going to have to marry an accountant, I'm useless when it comes to money. Like, pathetically useless. oh well, I guess we all have to have our weaknesses.

hm. Started a short story last night, I'm definitely not going to post it, and I realized that I have to get over all the stupid little things in life. its about a girl, and a guy. I changed the ending tho. Surprised? How could you be, you didn't know how the first story ended. Well, you might, but not likely. Anyways. I cant think of anything else to bore you with. Scroll down and read the science jokes, they're funny. Really!
