I have been trying to work on my Spanish final project since 11PM on and off (since I keep falling asleep for several hours...intermittently...) and around 5.30 I woke up and heard like...whooom outside the window, as though the wind were blowing very hard.

But that's not a very Arizona thing to be happening late at night...and it was creepy. Especially since I checked the weather yesterday and it was supposed to be clear for the next few days.

But I checked outside anyway and it was like EPIC STORM, raining in sheets and the palm trees were all like WHOOSH HORIZONTAL. And I was like OH DEAR LORD WHAT and then went back to sleep.

And now this morning I looked outside and it's perfectly sunny, but everything is 100% sopping wet. Nice 8D

I'm so exhausted and spaced out (what is wrong with me? seriously I can't stay awake), that I'm not really sure if I'm still dreaming or not xD But Tucson being a drenched sponge this morning amuses me to hell for some reason.

And now I should REALLY finish my project as I have class within an hour *_* Blaa.

Rest plz.

Dear lord, I am so exhausted. Every part of me just feels like it's ready to quit. About 5 minutes before work, I sat on a chair to wait out the last few minutes and literally dozed off and was nearly late. And then at work I literally closed the entire bagel line by myself. So. Tired.

But, I can't go to bed before I eat a salad. Which I'm doing right now, see? Nom nom nom >.>

Today was cool because although I arrived late to meteorology (finishing my Spanish project LOL), I caught the good part of the lecture, which was about proposed solutions to global warming. The professor talked a lot about various propositions and research, and touched very cursorily on the development of alternative energies. It was amazing, and he's the only person I've encountered on this entire campus who seems to want to TALK ABOUT this stuff in a course, so I went to his office hours today. I complained about how the U of A is all about ~sustainability~ but has no courses for alternative energies, and how advisors have pushed me frustratingly down cop out after cop out path that don't address THE ISSUES and it pisses me off. I asked him what his advice would be for exploring the subject further. And I felt kind of bad, since I kind of put him on the spot...clearly what I'm looking for at the U of A doesn't exist, and I know it--I just wanted HIM to know it too, since apparently he cares. But I think it's important. They should offer a NATS in alternative energy sources, just the basics. I didn't really get all of the answers I really wanted out of him, but he did give me some suggestions which I do think will help.

He also flattered me a lot, which was surprising. He knows who I am, since there was a fuckup with my attendance clicker or somesuch, and he said I'm doing really really well in his class. Sweet. The amazing part? Apparently people who are doing well can possibly be exempt from the final, and he gave me the impression that there is a very good chance I will be. YESSS. I find out for sure on Wednesday morning. Dear lord that would be glorious. He also told me I should consider going into research graduate studies for global climate science. I told him that I didn't think it would be financially viable, to which he assured me that there are ways...but the truth was I didn't have the heart to tell him that I hate school with the passion of a million suns and would sooner die than willingly subject myself to more of it. So I just smiled and told him I'd consider it. I am pretty flattered, after all, that he believes me in any way capable of such a thing.

Okay, going to bed now. And by "going to bed" I mean "signing on AIM and being on it for at least an hour longer than I intended to", since I'm awesome like that. Yay.
