Busy, Busy, Busy

Haven’t seen any bugs in a few days, which is great because with our midterms going on the last few weeks, M and I wouldn’t have had the time to take care of them, or un-clutter the room. Our books, sylabi and papers are all over the place, a real bed bug magnet. Plus I haven’t even had time to try out the Suspend insecticide.

Speaking of school, has anyone tried those online colleges? Because I am always late to class and it affects my grade and the commute is a hassle. and with all the technology available these days, it seems kind of archaic and unecessary to have everyone meet at the same place and at the same time and punish those who fail to do so. I did a search of online schools, and found a distance learning college that piqued my interest, Capella University. It’s accredited and has a lot of graduate degree programs. It’s too late to do my undergrad there, (I’m a senior) but it’s a definite candidate school to consider when I start looking for a graduate degree.*

*Don’t mind my babbling. I’m in school right now and the professor lectured me in front of everybody about the importance of coming in on time today. That’s why I’m searchng for a better alternative at the school computer lab.

Crinkle, Crinkle

M and I just bought two pillows at a 99 cent store to replace the ones I threw out in July which were full of bed bugs. These pillows came in a kind of cellophane bag, so we decided to tape up the opening of each bag with the pillow still inside to keep the bugs from crawling inside. Then we just stuff the whole thing in a pillowcase. So far we’ve had the pillows for a week and we haven’t seen any bed bugs on them yet. The only drawback is that M and I are both notorious chronic tossers and turners, so the cellophane bag goes “crinkle crinkle” everytime we change positions or basically anytime we touch them.

oh well.

crinkle crinkle.
