I get this weird warmth tingle in my leg when I don't sleep.

So far this has been the most exhausting week ever. School officially started, and after two lectures Genetics has me officially stressed out. I need to get in some serious study time this next week, because we have these lecturely quizzes we only get thirty seconds to take. By the way, I didn't do so well on the first one. This course might make my head explode.

Then yesterday I went to the zoo with my 3 year old nieces and nephew. It was a lot of fun, but entirely exhausting. That's where my work had it's summer picnic this year--at the zoo. I wasn't happy because I could only get a ticket for one other person, and after 5 everyone not from ACME Labs got kicked out. Three of my sisters were also there, though obviously only one had an after hours pass and special meal ticket from ACME Labs, as I did. But the whole experience was pretty amusing, because first thing we walk past the monkeys and one of my neices gets really excited, and pointing to it yells, "Look! Elephants!" to which my other neice joins in. My sister then corrected them and they started yelling "Monkeys!" instead. Then we got to the elephants and suddenly it was, "Look! Tigers!" I laughed pretty hard. But after 3 hours with 3 three year olds, and little sleep the night before...well, me and my little sis stayed only long enough, after it closed to the public, to eat the food.

The next stage in the adventure of yesterday started when I dropped her off at my parents' house, and I discovered my alternator belt had snapped off of my engine. It took me 3 different stores to find one that fit my car. I was rather annoyed. My dad then put it on and I was on my way, but the whole process took a while, and by that time I barely reached home before I passed out on my bed. Except then my roommate woke me up and I talked to her for a while, then went back to bed.

Today I'll be going to the game store with a group of friends, and I think the Spag Fac. It is my birthday week after all...sort of. I also need to make eclairs tonight for my potluck tomorrow. I can't wait till it's next week, which will be busy, but not as much. Work today hasn't been too bad, being the weekend and all. I've been completely done for a couple of hours now, so I've had a lot of time to study Genetics at work, although not nearly as much as I'd like. I'll have a lot more to do tomorrow--I know, not good on the sabbath--but if I don't do it then I'll just worry about it not being done and I hate being stressed out on a Sunday. I need a nap.
