So, decent weekend. Saw Episode III on Friday, and while everyone else has discussed it better than me, I will just LJ-cut my likes and my rant about the ONE THING I could not brush off. I did like it. I had some minor issues otherwise, but those I could explain to myself (and [livejournal.com profile] honorh came up with a lovely fanfic explanation that satisfied my other major question).

Cut because [livejournal.com profile] mtgat begged the friends list to:

Episode III spoilers )

The report was placed under Dr. Z's door by 4 pm Friday, so that chapter is now over. Yay.

Of course, recent events have made me re-think my decision to take a two-class semester in the fall in the interest of not self-destructing. If I have to go see a psychiatrist to confirm that I do have an anxiety disorder in order to get an extension on the five-year limit for getting a Master's, well, I suppose I'll have to do that.

Seriously. I need to re-evaluate my lifestyle. Not my life, my lifestyle, my inability to get all the little things done that I need to do when there's so much to get done. How long did it take to negate the Great Clean-Out of January? Not very long. I need to train myself to be able to manage my day-to-day life before I can take on that sort of courseload. I was lucky to have a group who all pulled their weight this semester. I can't guarantee that'll be the case for every class. Not to mention that if I do go for the house after the home inspection (unless they find something major), I'm going to have to seriously readjust my lifestyle. I've been getting better, but... well, it'll help to have some second opinio

Saw [livejournal.com profile] violetbloom on Saturday; couldn't stick around for the tattoo interrogation, but I am pleased to hear that it went down so well.

Saturday night was spent at D&D. I have quotes, but not the time or wherewithal to post them. That is where the title quote came from. Maybe later, after the inspection and when I'm feeling a bit more sane.

Quickie...

Home inspection didn't find much, but the house will need work. Am still torn and am waiting on estimates of repair costs tomorrow. Seems like too much house for just one person (me), but if I bail on it now... *sigh* Location's good, move-in date is awesome, price tag's steep for me but a good deal for the Market From Hell - I just don't know if I'll be able to put the kind of work into this house that I need to.

I mean, while the imaginative part of me is going, "We could do this and this and this," the practical part of me is slapping it and going, "Riiiight. You can't even keep your apartment tidy, stupid!"

I sincerely doubt I'll be able to negotiate on the price, there are two other contracts being held in reserve.

I don't love it, but I could always make it into something I love. Yeah, I could go back to house hunting, but let's be realistic: I will not be able to afford anything I really love in this market. I think the only reason my contract's the number one contract is because I don't have to sell a property of my own first, and the lady who owns it needs to be out by mid-June. I do need to give her a timely answer if nothing else.

Gah. I need sleep. I'll figure something out.
