Stupid books...Yay gifts!

My day pretty much started out with me going to get my books for winter quarter...*hate* Before dad and I left for that, I drove Matt home and I went to the bank to get out some money for said books. I ended up paying like $332 for my books...I only had 6 freaking books, and it cost me $332! Hopefully the theater book that Dad has is the same as the one I bought today, and, if so, I can return the one I bought next week and just use his... and returning that book will give me an extra $56 to spend on something else more important than college books!
I had to go visit Kate today to pick up Jess's ring, but I couldn't go until either Mom got home or my car got fixed and ready to pick up...I ended up taking my car. *heart* So, I took Kate her CD that she left at my house, picked up Jess's ring, talked to Kate for like 5 minutes, and then left to go home. When I got home, it was about 10 til 5, so I started gathering up my crap to take to Christa's for the gift exchange. It was really weird because I was the first one to get to her house...I even got there before her. ;) I forgive her, though, cuz she was buying herself a compy to use for college, so it's cool. Hanyways. At Christa's, we (me, Britt, Jess, and Christa) exchanged and opened our gifts. I got a wonderful shirt that talks about peoples' suffering..it's wonderful...I also got a Stewie keychain, and it has 6 wonderful Stewie phrases on it *heart* and I got a huge Hershey's Kiss from Christa (aka: the Biggest Kiss Ever) Then, when Steph and Nikki showed up, along with the pizza, we had pizza and we proceeded to play Scatergories, which is a really fun game, if you can think of wonderful words that go along with your letter. I stayed for 2 games, and then I had to leave to come home, get some money from Mom and go to Wal-Mart to buy a Christmas gift for my aunt and uncle (and a b-day gift for my aunt) because we're going to see them tomorrow, and Mom wanted to get them something. Apparently I had to shop for them because Mom's busy working, but when I got back from Wal-Mart, she wasn't at her desk working. *angry face* And my aunt and uncle are almost impossible to buy for because they think everything above a PG rating is scadalous and vulgar. *stab* It's not really that bad, but it's pretty damn close! ;) So, I finally pick them something out, with the help of Mom (I had her on the cell) and I go home...and I immediately come upstairs and get on my compy. :) I was so excited, though because when I got in the car to go home, Footloose was on the radio, and I heart that song..and it's playing on Media Player right now, by the way. ;)
I'm looking forward to raping, I mean...seeing the Plaughers on Saturday...it's gonna be so BIG! ;)

Lyrics

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and seeI'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to meMama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has comeSends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to dieI sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,Gallileo, Gallileo,Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him goBismillah!
We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - oooNo, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for mefor mefor me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

FREEDOM!

I finally did it...I took my driver's test today, and I passed. I only missed 17 or so points, and about 10 of those points were for something dumb, but I don't really care about that because I PASSED THE TEST! I have been in a really good mood all day...now, all I have to wait for is for my car to be fixed, which is happening on Thursday, and I will be all set...I won't have to depend on my parents for rides anymore! Though, with my newfound freedom comes consequences... from now on, whenever Mom needs something from the store and I happen to be home, I'll be sent to fetch it..and I'll also have to pick up the boys from school whenever I can (which sucks). But, in this case, the positive aspects outweight the negative ones, and I think I can live with the somewhat negative consequences of me having my license.

Why does it suck?!

I went shopping today, thinking that I'd be able to finish Christmas shopping for a few people still on my shopping list...DENIED! I couldn't really find anything that I liked for anyone..and if I did find something, they didn't have the right size...*twitch* fucking wenches *twitch* Why does my life have to suck so much?! I finished shopping for one person...I still have like four more people to buy gifts for before we have our gift exchange...and I have to finish shopping for one of my Florida friends and her family sometime this week so I can mail out the package. And I can't forget about Eva!... I have to get something for her, but fuck if I know what to get. (does that make any sense at all?...oh well...) Hanyways. ;) Oh..that's great...I'm so frustrated that I now have a stomach ache...go me! *stab twist pull splatter fling splat slide* :)

WTF

It's almost 2:30 in the morning Christmas morning, and I can't sleep. I have to be up in about 6 hours for church, which is gonna suck, cuz I don't think I'll be getting to sleep anytime soon. For some reason I'm wired or something. I took drugs to help me sleep..they kicked in for like 5 minutes and they made me a little drowsy, but that's worn off. WTF! Aren't drugs supposed to do their jobs? I mean, sure they were allergy drugs, but they usually work for making me tired, but not tonight, I guess. So, if sleep does ever come to me, I'm going to be a big bitch in the morning...and if it doesn't come, I'll be a big bitch later on in the evening, and maybe tomorrow. ;)
When I lie down and try and sleep, all I can do is think of everything that I don't have done, and everything that's coming up that I'm dreading and I just can't sleep! I think about all the Christmas shopping I still have yet to do, and how I don't know when my deadline for some of my friends is because I don't know when we're exchanging gifts. I also think about how classes will be starting up again soon and how some of my friends will leave and how the rest will be busy juggling class and work and they won't really have much time for me in their lives. It makes me a sad panda. :(
I was hoping that staring at the computer screen would make me tired, but I'm denied. It kinda makes my eyes hurt, but it doesn't really make me sleepy. WENCH! Why can't I sleep? It's not like I'm trying to work out in my mind what gifts I got, because I know pretty much every one, because I told my mom what I wanted, and she got it...I mean, I have a few surprises in store for me, but I'm not racking my brains trying to figure out what they are. WHY CAN'T I SLEEP?!

Ahh shopping..and Halo

I went shopping with Britt, Kate and Tabby today. That was fun. The shopping part wasn't all that interesting... we didn't goof off as much as we usually do, but the ride home, that was...fun. Tabby and Kate were in the front, which left me and Britt in the back, and she was like on crack! Kate denies lacing her cheerios this morning, but I think she's lying. ;) It was just one of those slap-happy things, where one person starts laughing, so you laugh, and you can't stop, but you're not really sure why you started, you know? And then we got back to Kate's house and Britt was still slap-happy. And Kate's dad bought us pizza and made us cookies, which was wonderful! (we heart you Dad!)
At Kate's house, we played Halo, and me and Tabby sucked really bad, and we were playing against eachother, and it was a miracle if one of us killed the other one...it took us like 5 minutes to aim and shot and kill. ;)

Narnia

I went and saw The Chronicles of Narnia today with some friends. It was an awesome movie...and it was a lot more amusing that I thought it was going to be. (me and almost everyone seated to my left laughed when the dwarf got shot..it was great!) I'm so glad that I didn't decide to read the book right before seeing the movie, because I probably would have been disappointed that some things were changed or left out or whatever. I still have to read the book, and hopefully not too much was changed for the movie. :)
After watching Narnia, we all went and hung out at Pizza Hut and ate a bunch of appetizers, like we always do. I don't think anyone ever orders real food when we go out to eat. Hanyways. ;) And after the food, me and everyone that was sitting to my left at the theater rented Moulin Rouge (the Blue Tape..only it was a DVD so it wasn't THE Blue Tape) and watched it at my house. That was wonderful...there were some "virgins" in the room, so we got to rape them with the video. I always have a sense of accomplishment after being able to rape someone with a movie they haven't seen (ahhhh).

Irritation

I really get irritated when people call my phone (either my home or cell phone) looking for other people. I can understand parents calling the house looking for their kids if their kids don't have a cell phone, but some of my friends just call me looking for other friends. "Oh, is so-and-so over at your house?" and when I tell them "No," they pretty much hang up as quick as possible without being too rude. I just get angry when people can't call my house looking for *gasp* ME! And when people call my cell phone wanting me to relay a message to one of my friends...GRRRR! *pounds fist into palm* I went from getting about five calls a week to getting about twenty, and most of them aren't for me! I don't mind doing it occasionally, because I know that I sometimes call a friends cell phone and ask if another friend is with them, but I usually have something to ask the person I'm calling besides whether or not someone is with them. *angry face* I don't know why I'm so bitter about this right now, but I am, so I decided that I should blog about it, because I rarely blog about my feelings...so yeah, here are some of my feelings!

Ahhh..Christmas Time!

I love this time of year. The snow, the shopping, wrapping gifts, giving gifts. I was wrapping some gifts this evening and I realized after only a few that I was all out of gifts to wrap...it was so sad. I would have had some more to wrap today, but I wasn't able to go shopping because there was a lot of snow and the roads were too crappy to go out on. *bitter* Hopefully the shopping trip can be rescheduled for sometime next week...though, it's cutting it a little close, and I'm not even half-way done shopping yet. CRAP! A little over a week left before Christmas... by this time, I'm usually at least done with my family's gifts, but denied. I have packages that I have to mail out, too..but that probably won't happen until after Christmas, because I'm already poor. Well... I have to get my room ready to be raped tomorrow, so I guess I'm done posting now. *grins* I have a flamming squirrel and he's so cute..I just have to name him..soon. :)

Final GPA

I finally have my total GPA for the quarter, now that I finally got my grade for History. I got a B in that class, so I no longer have a 4.0. I now have a 3.68. While that's a good GPA, I still wish I would have had a 4.0 because that would make me feel special. :)

GPA update

I just checked my grades and I got an A in English, so I still have a 4.0 right now...I just have to see what I got in History. I probably got a B and that's gonna bring my wonderful GPA score down...*tear* But, it could be worse. Hopefully since I did well in English, that means that I'm in the running for one of those campus book store gift certificates, because that would be freaking sweet!

I've decided

Well...I've pretty much decided that I'm going to go ahead and dye my hair purple. I tried the temporary stuff just to see if I'd like and..and to make sure it wouldn't react weirdly with the red dye that's already in my hair... and I decided that I do like it, so I think I'm gonna go for the permanent stuff. The only thing that could stop me would be me not being able to find a shade of purple in the permanent stuff that I like...and I really hope that doesn't happen. So yeah, with any luck, by the next time you guys see me, I should have purple hair, as long as everything goes smoothy, which rarely happens for me, but we'll see.

My GPA

Well, so far my GPA is 4.0, but I only have the grades from 2 of my classes, which were both A's obviously. I still have 2 other classes that I don't have my grades for yet. Hopefully I didn't completely screw up on my history exam... if I didn't, then I'll probably get a B in that class. I don't really know what to expect from my English class. I'm hoping that I got an A because I felt like I did well all quarter in thatclass, but who knows?
In English, we didn't have to take a final exam, but we had to turn in a portfolio, which included what we thought were our two best papers from the quarter and our peer edits from editing our peers papers (obviously). I guess he'll use the peer edits to give us participation credit or something, but I don't know. I do know, however, that this portfolio will make up about 50% of our grade, and if I don't do well, well, that's gonna suck for me. I also hope that I do really well on the portfolio because if I do, there is a chance that I could get a $100 gift certificate for the campus bookstore, which would be freaking awesome!
I really love my psych professor because she let me take my exam, even though I was almost an hour late for it! When I gave her my excuse, which was mostly valid, I kinda stretched one part about it..the part where I said that I knew the exam was that day. I thought the exam was on Wednesday, but it was on Monday. I can't believe how stupid I was that day! And I didn't fail that exam, even though I didn't get a chance to study at all for it. Had I known it was on Monday, I probably would have looked over my notes sometime Sunday, but I didn't.
So, I lucked out on the psych exam, but I'm not so sure I did that well on my history final. I didn't study for that one really. I prepared myself a little for the essay part, but that was about it. If I didn't completely screw up on that, then I may have a fighting chance to get a decent grade on the exam. I know for a fact that I missed at least one question on the other part of the test..but I know that because it was a fill-in-the-blank question, and I left it blank. :)
So... hopefully I will have learned something from the horrible melt-down session that I went through after finding out I was 20 minutes late for my exam, and I won't screw up like that again. Actually, the next time finals roll around, I'll probably be all paranoid and keep checking my exam times every 30 minutes. ;)
