me and my cats

I've had 2 cats for a week now and we're adjusting just fine. Bootsie and Roxy. I was only going to take Bootsie, but I ended up with both and am keeping both. It's nice to have something to talk to and not feel like a fool talking to myself. They have their quirks though. Bootsie likes to run around the place like a freak doing this catwalling meow thing. Usually does it at night when I'm trying to sleep too. I hate it most because I don't want the neighbors to hear and tell on me. Roxy is a clawer; she likes to kneed everything with her claws and scratch the doors and walls and carpet. She's also tempermental. Sometimes she's my best bud, others she wants nothing to do with me. I also didn't realize how much food and kitty litter they would need. I've gone through a big jug of kitty litter already, in a week. That's not good. Oh well...
Had a rough week. Lots of problems with my car. A flat tire, which turned into a bent wheel, which has turned into a decision of whether to get new wheels and tires, or just one unmatched wheel. Lost my keys, found my keys. Did get my car registered finally. I have to take it in this afternoon for an inspection. Hopefully this place can help me figure out my tire situation.
It's been colder than all get out here. It makes it very hard to be motivated to do anything because you don't want to move and get cold. Stephanie has been making me walk on campus though, so I think I've lost maybe a couple pounds I put on at christmas so far. However, with the week I had, last night I was horribly bad having taco bell and a ton of cookies.
I got myself into another position of being the bad guy/outsider. I get too worked up over little things. I really need to stop that. Anyway, I kind of showed that I wasn't going to look the other way as far as helping a fellow classmate out and leaving others out...and well that has put me back in the "what is her deal?" area, I think. I just want to get through this and away from here. So I think I've decided to do something as uncontroversial as possible to study, slide under the radar and get done. Why fight the man when I have no support system here?
So I'm homesick again, which I was hoping wouldn't happen this quickly. No idea if or when I'll be going home either, so nothing even to really look forward to. I think I might spend Easter with Uncle Marty and Aunt Dolores in Cleveland though. It will at least get me out of PA, and maybe I can do the rock and roll hall of fame again while I'm there.
As soon as I figure out my car situation and the snow lets up some, I'm doing some exploring too. I should get back to homework and housework before I go to the mechanic.
