Is there any way to put more pages/sheets in a notebook without it looking awful? I think I'm going to be a few pages short of fitting an entire class' notes there. It's one of those simple notebooks, no spiral or anything, the kind with just two staples in the middle.

Remove staples, add sheets from another notebook, put new set of staples.

Actually putting the staples on might prove to be quite a challenge unless you have those huge staplers.

I don't think it'll work since I have to put the sheets at the end (already wrote in most of it), which means I'd have to remove every single sheet to put them there without removing the staples. I was thinking about cutting parts of the sheet of paper so that a bit of it slides between the staples to the other side, and it would stay bound by the pressure, but I don't know how well that will work.

My sister put a job application on the table for a cousin. There was a funeral and my mother was suppose to bring it, I guess, along with her. She didn't
and didn't know who it was for. Later she found out.

I'm sure if it was me who the application out she would have yelled at me about needing to communicate and I should have went and gave it to get myself...yeah...

I just want to get a good nights sleep. For once I would like to wake up and actually feel rested, not tired.

I find it disturbing migraine sufferers can wake up with a migraine that started while he or she was sleeping (not talking about a hangover). It's happened to me many times. Sleep - the number one and sometimes only cure for a migraine attack - can trigger a migraine. SLEEP CAN TRIGGER A MIGRAINE :omg:

This is timely because I woke up with a headache today.

Well, guess my avatar pic days are over.

So frustrated that my mother keeps saying that my son probably isn't autistic but it's because I don't talk to him enough. I really hate being around ignorant people. I bet she stares in space all the time wondering how she could tell me that in a nicer way. No it's the fact that I hate how people keep assuming I don't talk! No maybe it's you that I don't like.

Then I'll be pissed if they say he doesn't have it because he was lead poisoned and that was the cause. Either way my mother is wrong.

Showering/washing a cat is an interesting experience. They go from hating you more than they ever have, to loving you more than they ever have.

Was he ever diagnosed with autism? Because that would be a sure way to dismiss any doubt people may have about it. If anything that should provide clarity for everyone involved.

tis the season to turn the outside of your house into a fruit machine.







I hope they turn them off late at night, I would hate to try and get to sleep in a house opposite, the lights probably illuminate half the street.

I raised the issue of extended leave at work yesterday. I really need it.

Going to go talk to a former teacher of mine today regarding this master course I want to do next year. I can't meet 60% of the evaluation grade, so I asked him what I could do to get some points in those categories. I shouldn't have a problem getting in since it only had 21 students this year for 35 open positions (and it's not a course with a lot of demand), but you never know what can happen. He told me to go right before his class so he'll probably just tell me exactly that. Either that or he'll try to convince me to do his new post-graduation course that starts in February, but the cost is twice as high and I think it might be too advanced for me at this point.

Trying to condense the topic of obesity to 5 pages, even when focusing on a specific subtopic, is quite challenging. There's so much to say. It's complex. But I'm in my zone of interest, which makes it more enjoyable, even if I am writing it under last-minute pressure (as usual).

He wasn't even there, I went home after 30 minutes of waiting.

So I'm starting out some part time minimum wage retail job tomorrow. I literally walked in yesterday after seeing a help wanted sign, filled out an application and went in for an hour of "training" today. There was no interview or anything, thank god for that. I don't have the job yet and I'm never optimistic so I don't know what will become of this, but I'm incredibly nervous. I'm starting out by just working 3 hours tomorrow to see how I do. At the very least I'll make a few dollars I guess. I just remember that I /hate/ customer service, and that I SUCK at talking to customers and am a complete awkward weirdo. Obviously those aren't exactly the ideal qualities of working in this type of industry. I need to learn how to efficiently act fake and friendly. I know it's going to suck, but it'd only be part time and at least give me something to do and a little extra money while I'm in this stupid 'transition' period or whatever.

Maybe this shitty minimum wage job could be some good motivation to go back to school to get a four year degree instead of just my two year one. I just haven't figured out WHAT to go back for yet. I'll also be starting yoga teacher training beginning some time next year so hopefully that'll give me something to do to as at least a side job in the future. This nothingness is just NOT working for me anymore. I need a car, I need a job, I need a life. I don't want to be this loser forever, I'm sick of it. I'm still super super nervous though. I hope I can get this job so I can make a little extra money, but the demon of anxiety seems to always overpower all for me.

Congratulations! That's awesome. You're at least trying. I've done this kind of crappy work before, you'll learn how to be fake happy. I did.
