I never thought helping raise four girls would be a tiring task. Getting up and making sure they eat breakfast, and then making sure they're dressed and out the door so we can get them to school on time? On top of that I'm back in school and I still don't know what I want to do. Maybe the whole school "idea" isn't for me like it was when I was younger. I should start this homework at least.
Jack I was going to go to the gym later, I figured you'd at least like to have a note. I should just start using sticky notes to communicate with you.
You know? Thinking about what to make the girls so they eat healthy is pretty interesting too. You know how many parenting sites I've been on trying to read this up? It's nothing like when I was growing up. I might actually have to ask my brother for help.
Oh! Speaking of my brother, Chris when are you free? I was thinking you and I could go out to lunch and catch up.

Boy the summer really came quickly didn't? I'm just glad I don't have to be in bed any more, though the girls bringing in bandages every now and again has been pretty cute. I think I might start going to the gym again if Jack and Chris let me so I can get this leg back on track. I feel pretty weak when I walk around on it, but that's to be expected after all.
Get back to the gym, get back to walking around, and maybe working on my bike. I've been neglecting to give her a proper tune up. I should check to see what she needs before I start on her. I think some body work is in order.
Say Jack, what do you think about going out next Sunday with the girls? I really miss those Sunday Sundae's...

I'm starting to get stir crazy being stuck in this quad. Maybe I could start getting the girls every now and again, or just getting out and going to the gym. Then again the last time I asked to go to the gym Jack tried to touch me with that insect swarm plasmid. Ugh it's so gross. How can he stand it? Oh great I'm shuddering just thinking about it! With luck he'll at least let me walk around the quad.
Well I got in contact with my professors. They're letting me turn in my final work late considering I showed them my doctors note. I better get studying. I don't think I've even opened my book since ...well since I was put in the hospital.
Maybe I should find a hobby in the mean time.

You know it's nice to actually get out of bed without consequences. I still to take some of those pain killers, and I feel a little weak, but hey I'm alive aren't I? I have a killer headache though and I think it has something to do with not having coffee for a few weeks. Though since I'm actually out of bed this week I think we should celebrate with ice cream. The girls did a great job making sure I didn't move out of bed (and even shot me a few times. Sorry Jack, I was going stir crazy. I promise I didn't get very far).
Though I have to say seeing them play with my brother was rather funny and adorable. He's really great with kids though next time you tell them my favourite movie was the The Little Mermaid I'm not sitting through it with you.
I prefer Snow White anyway.
I should see what I missed for homework. Great...I hope I don't fail because of this. We'll just make Wesker foot the bill. [deleted]

Jack. I know you're using your computer, and I know it's not for homework.
Can you come home for a moment? Please?
It's pretty nice to actually be out of the hospital. I can't remember the last time I was in one, to be honest. I don't think Chris actually took me one after Antarctica. Chris you really dropped the ball there.
It's kind of strange that my brother is sticking around. We haven't lived in the same area in years. I better make sure I'm still doing all of my homework. Which reminds me I have no idea what I missed in my classes since my school work is in my quad. Boy I hope they'll take my doctors note. Aren't finals coming up?

I'm about ten seconds away from tossing my computer out a window. I think I got the dreaded blue screen of death on my laptop, and this desktop is giving me a hard time. I swear if I have a virus... Oh well. At least there isn't too many things that are important on the hard drive and maybe I'll be able to save them.
Though I should give Leon a call and check up on him. He's been quiet, though he might be on another one of those government missions. Last time I talked to him he told me the uniforms are unflattering. I wonder why he was thinking I'd look good in a government uniform? I should ask him next time. Good thing he's easy to tease. I think his birthday is coming up too.
I think I'm going to go out for a ride. Maybe it'll calm me down from giving this machine a hard time.

Now this is a nice surprise. Can't go wrong with getting back an essay with a pretty decent grade. I think I bullshitted most of that, but that's besides the point. I really need to get my butt in gear and get my head back into school. I'll never hear the end of it if I fail out of class. Well I better get studying least I do poorly on the upcoming test.
Though thinking about it though, I might try and get a part time job. It's not like I can do anything with TerraSave being that I'm in school. I have a feeling I'd miss too much class that way.
Well I better get going to the gym. I've been putting it off the whole day

Well this is great. This essay is due in two days and I haven't even started it. I can't seem to get my mind focused on school work and it'd be a waste of money to drop out of classes now. I just don't know what to write about for the topic material. Sure, going over how to write a persuasive essay is fine and good, but the topic choices are pretty limiting. Maybe it I just start writing something it'll come to me. I just have to find those sticky notes.. they're around here somewhere.

I think I'm coming down with a cold or something. I can't concentrate on my homework and I can't keep doing that. I'm thinking about taking a bath to try and relax. Maybe if I kick this cold head on I won't suffer too much. I really hate getting sick.
Maybe I'll go out for coffee...Alone I guess. seems kind of weird going out alone now that she's gone but I can't make her stay. I just hope Elmina takes care of herself.

I don't think I'm getting any sleep tonight. I keep thinking I'm hearing this tapping at my windows. It's a bit scary now that I think about it. I can't tell if there is a tree or something out there either because I'm too afraid to walk to the window. If I make too much noise something mig--
Maybe I should lay off the horror movies. Nothing's going to jump through the window and it's not going to eat my face. But I swear I thought I saw a Licker... it might just be my imagination but that tapping on the glass couldn't be anything else. [deleted]
I'll just have to make myself a cup of coffee and hope that'll get me through the rest of the day.

Well this isn't helping me at all. I feel pretty restless sitting here in my quad and at the same time I'm not really sure if I want to go out alone. Maybe I could head over to the library and grab a few books for the research I'm supposed to do. That might help me with this essay.
Say, Elmina, you up for another coffee trip? I mean I have an essay to write for my English class but boy does coffee sound pretty good right about now. I know the perfect little coffee shop too. It's not too far away and we can just take my motorcycle.

Oh say, Pearl? I say we have another tea party in the future since I had a blast at the last one. I found some pretty awesome cookies the other day and I thought of you. What do you say?

Well so much for going out. I might not be so lucky next time someone tries to take my purse. Not that I carry one but it's the best I can come up with. [deleted] I'll just have to hurry back instead of taking my time. I was really beginning to like my strolls at night from the gym. But, I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.

You know it's pretty peaceful at night. I could drive for hours if it didn't waste any gas. Maybe I could just save up some money through the week and budget out a small vacation just to drive to. I could really get away I'd like to think.
Maybe I'll look into a part time job around here. School isn't too difficult, and it might help me figure out what I want to do with my degree. I can't even think of something I want to do when I've done so much already. Maybe I should ask an advisor for some help.
Say Diane did you want to go get some coffee- Oh right. We're not talking. I wonder if we're going to talk again. [deleted] I could really go up for some coffee. Anyone want to join me? I figure a bit of coffee would help me out before I attempt to attack some of this homework.

Christmas and New Years were pretty uneventful this year. Dinner by myself wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but Chris being busy in all... least I did get that call from Leon. Maybe I better start working on a resolution for the new year and hope for the best. Study hard, make sure I graduate, and find something I want to do with the rest of my life.
I never figured I'd be saying that with the job I have.
Well? I better start working on that resolution.

Well I guess that's that. I better start thinking of a few things to do around here for the next...well few weeks. Maybe I'll go for a drive tonight and check out the town. I really haven't gotten to do that yet.
If anyone wants to come along, I've got a spare helmet.

I guess I've been putting off this paper for a while. I think I'll just go to the library to work on it. Is the library even open? If all else I'll see if there is a coffee shop open I can just sit around in and work. It certainly beats being in the quad.
At least the holiday was...well quiet. I hope that today isn't anything like home. I'd hate to get stuck in some Black Friday nonsense.

So other than Mister Ryan cheating at Monopoly (we all saw what you did, you can't lie) it was a pretty fun night. I think we should get together in the future and do it again -- just we need to ban your father from being the bank, Jack. Though I have to say Pictionary was a lot of fun.
Maybe I'm just getting antsy, but boy is this semester dragging on. I may have started late but I really feel like it's taking forever. I think I'll look into some extra-cirricular activity. I can't only do so much at the gym or go to the training center. I should call TerraSave as well as see if they need any help in the future.
Well I better get started on this homework. I've got some grocery shopping to do tomorrow since I'm beginning to think whatever I bought before is still in the fridge. I might want to clean that out and do some dishes before I go. Good thing tomorrow's Friday. Say does anyone want me to pick up anything from the store?

I didn't think my weekends were going to be so busy lately. Getting up early to do homework wasn't what I had in mind this morning, but it's a good thing I woke up. Chris gave me a call to check up on me and make sure I'm settling in fine. It was really nice to hear from him as I didn't think I'd get the chance while he was gone.
I might see if he can come down for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's been a while since we've actually sat down and spent the holidays together. We're both pretty busy lately. The B.S.A.A. really seem to work him pretty hard, but it's probably good for him. If they give him one holiday off I think I'll have to get him to come out.
And Rani called earlier asking if I wanted to come visit her and her aunt. I might have to take her up on that and I'm glad she seems to be recovering from the incident in Harvardville. She said she was studying really hard in school and she wanted to be like me when she grew up. Makes me wonder how Sherry is doing as I haven't heard from her since I left Raccoon City.
Say Jack, I had a blast on Sunday! We should bring the girls out more often now that you have a car. I think it'd be a great idea anyway and they really seemed to enjoy it. Maybe we could get together and play some sort of board game or heck we could just go out to dinner.

Well today has been pretty interesting. I guess changing my schedule really didn't help as much as I thought. I've been getting up earlier and boy do I miss sleeping in. I wonder if it's because I've actaully been getting up and making breakfast. And who has the dog? I really, really hope it was okay to give him bacon. He's actaully pretty cute, for a dog. He just sat at my feet begging for it. I better not make that a habit though.
Oh say, sorry about earlier today, Diane. I usually don't work out in much and I wasn't expecting to be stopped. Next time, I promise I'll be dressed properly. It was really nice talking to you, however. I say we should go out and get coffee - on me. If it wasn't a school night I'd say we should go now.
I was thinking about rearranging the fridge just to make sure I don't take anyone's food. I went the other day and I sort of just shoved things where I could.
I should probably start this homework. Better late than never, I guess.

All right. Reminder for myself - go to the gym before class, not after. The locker rooms are sort of creepy when there's no one else in them. I swear I thought someone was watching me. It's not possible though... Just breath Claire. No one was there. It was just your imagination. It's not like a zombie was going to pop out of the lockers and attack you. Of course, though, that's why you ran back to your dorm.
Though I'll have to say I might want to go grocery shopping soon. I've got a list of things I need in particular as I don't think I can live off of ramen for much longer. Say, Aleister, Morrigan, Edward: did you want anything from the store or should I just leave some space in the pantries and the fridge? I figured I'd at least offer since it's what I used to do back when I first was in college.
I better get started on this homework. It's not going to start itself, after all.
