katekatEye prognosis: Apparantly, in the words of my new opthamologist, my eyes are beautiful; retinas, corneas, veins and all. My light sensitivity may be due to allergies. Yep. Allergies. He gave me cortozone drops to put in the eyes and hopefully that will clear up my problem. Freaky, but hey, at least there's a simple fix. I was truly freaked out for an afternoon or so.
I just got accepted here:
Woo Hoo! This is what I get for trying to get advice on my icons and what needs improvement. lol.
We got home from the health center yesterday to find a man with a chainsaw in our backyard. Our dead and falling over tree was finally removed. Now, sadly, we realize that even though it was dead it shaded the house and made a big impact. We have fabulous plans to get a new tree put in, but they involve time, digging, and slightly more hospitable climate than the past three weeks of over 100* heat. Gah. I've never been so ready for rain in my life. Or envious of people getting grapefruit size hail (ok, not really that envious, because car and people and shrubbery damage is never fun, but ... i'd pay for a cool breeze. Real money)
School starts next wednesday and I'm finally beginning to get excited about going back! Scared too, that I've forgotten all of my Japanese and am going to be completely embarrassed the first class day. But what's a little embarrassment between Japanese classmates? At least I know a couple of people who are going to be in the same class I'm taking.
I've been a total hermit the last couple of days though, what with the eye thing, and now I want to hang out with people and see what they're doing. But I'm having trouble mustering the energy to *call.*
And as further proof that I really needed to go back to school and get some smarts (but that I haven't yet gotten them), I went up to the Uni Cafe/Bar tonight because I thought I'd gotten an email from the Grad advisor saying she wanted to do an informal happy hour. I arrive, and no one's there. NO ONE. I run by the asian studies department and all the doors are closed as if everyone left for the day. I walk back to see if they'd walked over when I missed them, and nope, no one's there. I drive home (through rush hour traffic) to find that the happy hour's going to be NEXT week. Yeah. I really can read. Promise.
Neil's birthday is next week, and I've already figured out a present for the man who has everything (thank god). I couldn't contain myself though and now he knows. We're planning dinner next week... somewhere... wish me luck!

Date: 2006-08-26 01:17 am (UTC)SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! About the elite graphics acceptance! That is totally rad!
Also, I completely understand the forgetting everything. I'm going through that right now in calculus (and I'm also average! i hate being average *sigh*). It's so cool that you have people you know in the class with you. That way you can re-learn together :)
*giggles* okay, that's too cute (running to happy hour on the wrong day)!
Yay for neil birthdays and also for not being able to contain oneself. I totally get that!
*hugs*

*HUGS YOU and your brain* it will come back! I wish I could give you great calculus tips, but I suck at math. You, however, are never going to truly be average, no matter what happens in that class. But I understand the hating of it. How are the rest of your classes going?
I actually gave him a choice for his b-day: either motorcycle riding classes or horse riding classes (he's always been interested, but i could see that he kind of got excited when you were talking about yours). He hasn't picked which class he wants to take yet ....

Date: 2006-08-26 03:30 am (UTC)There are weirder effects of allergies on the human body. If the human body is the pinnacle of Divine creation, allergies are definetely part of the blooper reel. (snuggles your photosensitive self)

Bah. Men and their birthdays. I have given up the search for the perfect present for Mark (birthday incoming next Thurs) so I will get him an xbox 360 hard drive for his xbox 360. Bah, £70, bah, but hey, it will keep him happy and quiet. :) (I also impulse purchased him Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit? (http://play.com/Books/Books/4-/651310/Is_It_Just_Me_or_Is_Everything_Shit_/Product.html), a book detailing how rubbish everything is. Because he'll like that, I think. Stupid boys who have stuff, or want for no stuff.

Date: 2006-08-27 08:16 pm (UTC)Ok, yeah, true, it's got that whole 'elite' thing going, but they're actually really lovely people - promise! don't think i'm all evil and nose-snubby now... (although now that i'm in their club i'm only allowed to talk to non-graphicy people 2 days out of the week - that's ok with you right? *wink*)
Ok, that sounds like an AWESOME purchase. So if I'm getting the dates right, Mark's birthday is August 31? As in we are dating men of the same astrological sign? (not that i put much stock in that, mind you, but still, it would be kind of amusing). And the Is It Just Me Or Is Everthing Shit? sounds kind of hilarous. I'm sure he's going to love it!

Date: 2006-08-27 08:29 pm (UTC)Oh, but I thought end of August people were/are virgos? Neil is?
And me? October 10th. I'm the libra. ;)

Date: 2006-08-27 08:32 pm (UTC)Maybe Virgo is what I thought Libra was. I don't know! I'm rubbish! All I know is that I am a Cancer. Upon civilisation, quite possibly?
Why are you not on AIM?
