Cinny & his new friend Lumpy

I think I've finally realized why it takes forever to finish any of my Thursday papers. One word, Cinnamon. I swear, it's as if he knows I need to be focused and that's the only time he'll keep hounding me for attention. When I'm watching TV, yeah he'll play on his own...but once he sees me at the desk, he'll do his non-stop baby whimpers and scratch at my feet and chair. So I give in, pick him up and let him sit in the chair with me. But noo, that's not enough, he has to jump onto the desk and in doing so, has added lines of incomprehensible text to my paper. Of course after like 2 minutes, he'll be incredibly bored and whimper to be put back down. He has also claimed ownership on all the socks and stuffed animals in the room. I just got the Lumpy plush as a bday gift and his eyes bulged out when I pulled it out of a bag. Well just before, he was extremely quiet so I had to see what he was up to...apparently he dragged the Lumpy doll all the way onto my pillow and was resting his head on the trunk. The strangest thing, at night he'll sleep all around the bed but only in the morning does he have to sleep on my pillow with his butt on my head.

Speaking of strange, my professor was so odd last night. He was extremely patient and not arrogrant at all! While working on databases, he actually complimented me, then stood there and made recommendations while showing me step by step. His normal behavior would involve becoming aggravated if you asked questions, never really answering any, and ridiculing you if you said something that wasn't smart according to his standards. I remember just last week this lady said something like, "My thingy isn't working." So he just flipped out and kept repeating, "You're thingy isn't working, your thingy?!?" Okay seriously, you know what she's talking about, just go over there and help her. It sucks that he does that because I'm never going to ask a question if I don't know the right terminology first. I think it was because he was on Percocet. I've been on it before, it's quite a high. It's not necessarily that you no longer feel the pain, it's that you just don't care. But of course all good things come to an end as his medication was wearing off towards the end of the night, immediately he was right back to his "cheerful" self. Oh wells, at least I benefited from his sudden high.
