Wow

It's weird to think that this will be my last blog for this year...the next time I post, it'll be 2007. I hope that everyone has a good time tonight, and has lots of fun! I still don't really know what my plans are...I may have to spend some time over with Jake's family; I may be able to visit the Plaughers; I may be able to be at my house when the ball drops...but, I don't know what's going on yet. And I tried to call Jake to see when we're supposed to go over to his grandpa's house tonight, but the line was busy...yay. So now I -still- don't know what's going on, not that I would if I actually did get to talk to him, because he never knows what's going on, anyways. ;p

So, anyways. I wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope that you all stay safe and have fun! :)

Shopping...YES!!!

I went to the Tuttle Mall with my family today...and since Jake and I drove up separately, we didn't spend a whole lot of time with them. ;p We did, however, get a free meal out of my parents (from Boston Market), and that was pretty good. And then I had to introduce Jake to one of my dad's cousins that met them at the mall. But, it was a pretty good trip. I bought myself a new pair of tennis shoes, which I've desperately been needing since mine have holes in the bottoms and are no longer even remotely water-proof. I also spent $37 on chocolates from Godiva...YUM..and I don't regret it! :) Oh yeah, and I got Mary (Jake's sister, in case you didn't know already) this cute little pirate outfit for the monkey that she got from Build-A-Bear Workshop...it's so adorable! I really wanted to make myself a penguin, but they didn't have any...bastards! *bitter* Anyways. I still have lots more Christmas money to spend, but I'm sure I can finish that off when I go to the Lima mall on Tuesday. I really need some more pants now because I only have basically 1 pair that I like to wear because my other ones decided that they felt like ripping...so yeah, they went in the trash. So, I'm definately needing to do some clothes shopping before classes start up again and I have nothing to wear, not that I have to impress anyone, but I do like having clothes and being able to wear them and all that.

El Azteca

Well, it was great seeing all of you today! I hope you all had fun! Maybe I'll get the chance to see you all again before you leave, but I'm not going to hold my breath! ;p

Merry Christmas

Okay, so it's a little late, but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! And I hope that everyone had a good one!
And I'll hopefully see most of you tomorrow for lunch! :)

Lucky Me...

Well, it looks like I'm still going to have this cold when Christmas comes around. I can't stand being sick, especially when it's around the holidays! But there really isn't much I can do about that. Thankfully the worst part right now is that my nose doesn't seem to want to stop running, and I've been sneezing a lot, but not as often as yesterday. So, if that's the worst of my symptoms, I think I can handle this. Maybe if I remember to take allergy meds every day, this thing will go away quicker? One can only hope. I'm sure that I'll still have this tomorrow, so I'll try not to breathe too much on anyone at the gift exchange tomorrow evening. ;p

In other news. Christmas is this coming Monday, and I'm still not done shopping for my parents, Jake's parents, and one of my friends from Florida. I mean, I have less than 5 days before I have to have gifts for 4 out of those 5 people (because who knows when I'll actually get around to mailing my friend her gifts?!?!) and I still don't really know what I'm getting for my parents. When I started buying gifts in November, I thought I was doing really well, and getting ahead in my shopping, but apparently not. Oh well.

Oh yeah. I finished Harry Potter Book 5 today. I can't believe that Sirius died!!! That makes me so sad! Why couldn't she have killed off that evil Umbridge woman or something? Why'd she have to pick Sirius? I started reading Book 6, and I found the first chapter somewhat difficult to get thru...I don't know, I guess it wasn't very interesting for me. Hopefully the story picks up soon.

Well, today's going to be fabulous...

So, I start out my day this morning by being sick (mostly just my nose being stuffed up). Then, when I finally get to work, I'm going around and plugging in all the Christmas stuff my supervisor put up and I bump the midget fiber-optic tree and it falls over...breaking the tree-topper and a few other glass ornaments. The rest are fine, mostly because they were plastic, but there were a few glass survivors. So yeah, this is how my day started out...I can tell already that I'm going to have a great day....not. I should have just stayed in bed!

Work=Money

Supposedly when you work you're supposed to have money to buy things. Well, I guess I do buy things, but I never seem to have any left over for myself...at least, not lately. I really need to get my oil changed in my car, which takes money. And I want to get my hair cut because it's getting really long and kinda annoying, but that also takes money. And for the last couple of months, basically as soon as I got the money, I was out spending it on Christmas gifts for other people...and I'm still not done yet! Hopefully I'll be able to finish up with my next paycheck (this coming Friday) and still have something left over for me. I'm tired of being broke all the time and not being able to have lunch with my friends...it sucks and I hate it! So, with my next paycheck, I'm going to make it a point to set aside some money for myself (and I also need to make sure there's some money for gas the next week!) and hopefully get my oil change taken care of sometime before school starts up again. And I definately want to get my hair cut, but I guess I'll have to put that on the back burner for now. *shrugs*

Friday again.

It doesn't feel like Friday today. Maybe that's because I didn't work Monday or Tuesday, but I don't know. Hopefully I'll be able to get a bunch of shopping done this weekend because I'm pretty sure I'll have at least one gift exchange with friends next Friday, and I don't have gifts for everyone...so, I need to work on that.

I really don't like spending 8 hours cooped up in this office...it's really boring most of the time. Thankfully I bring Harry Potter along to keep me company...but I get distracted from reading a lot because my supervisor sits at a desk right behind me, her new husband works in this office now, and they talk a lot...and she's really loud. So, that tends to snap me back to reality...even tho I would be perfectly content just sitting here reading...cham them! ;p

I can't believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away! Like a week from next Monday...that's not long at all! And I feel like I still have so much to do, tho I think most of it is just hopefully sending out the packages to my Florida friends on time. But, if I know me, I'm sure they'll be "fashionably late"...probably arriving the week after Christmas. But oh well.

Anyways. I hope everyone's enjoying their break! If you're not home yet, I hope to see you soon! :D

Work

I have about another 50 minutes of work today...and I really didn't want to come here this morning! I only work 4 hours...but tomorrow and Friday I work 8-hour shifts, which should be fun..not. But, I do get an hour long lunch break. :) Not that I'll actually have money to get lunch, but hey.

I'm also trying to figure out when we should all get together and have the Christmas gift exchange. It's looking like the Friday before Christmas. And Sarah said that maybe she could have it at her house, but my house is probably the back-up plan, as always, which is fine. And so we just need to find a time. So, if you have a preference, then let me or maybe Sarah know. If it's going to be a Friday, I vote for some time after about 5:30 because I get off work at 5 and I'll need about half an hour to get home and such. So, there's my input.

It's Friday!!!

I'm not done working today until 2:00, which sucks, but oh well, I guess. I'm going to try and visit my grandpa again today because he wasn't in his room yesterday when I went up there. And then I'm supposed to meet Onion at the mall to do some more Christmas shopping. Well, I don't know if she's actually coming yet, but I told her I'd give her a call.

I'm so glad that Autumn quarter is finally over! For as much as I thought I was struggling thru everything(all the reading I never seemed to have time for and all that) tho, it seems to have paid off because I got an A in all 3 of my classes...so, I'm not complaining. I'm hoping that next quarter won't be too bad. I don't have classes on Fridays, but I have a class that goes from 5:30-9:00 P.M. on Thursdays, so that may suck, unless the class is fun (it's an Art Education class, so I suppose it could be at least slightly enjoyable). And one of my co-workers has had that class and she said that the last half hour is "work time" and students can either stay or leave...but she had a different teacher, so hopefully it's the same with this one, too.

I have about 2 and a half hours of work left and I'm really bored! And I seem to be taking a bunch of phone calls from people who either have a lot of questions or just one or two complicated ones. Thank God my supervisor's here today! If I was all on my own I'd probably be having a nervous breakdown right about now! ;p I'm trying to read HP and I keep getting interrupted, whether by the phone ringing or one of the advisors walking thru the office and having to talk to everyone they run into. But, I did get thru a chapter...I'm on chapter 12 now (book 5). I'm trying to get thru this book and book 6, but I'm thinking it's gonna take a while...at this rate, anyways. ;p As long as I get thru book 5 by July 13th or so (when the movie comes out), I should be good. :D

I'm excited!

Today is Thursday, which means that I get off work at 11:00 (I'm only here for 3 hours). Then I'm going over to Lima Memorial to visit with Grandpa for a little bit. And then, I'm supposed to meet Mary (Jake's sister) at one of the Wal-Marts (either in Lima or Wapak) to do some Christmas shopping. :) I still have a lot more to go...mostly because there are still a few people that I'm having difficulties with figuring out what to get them...but I -will- be victorious! ;p
Anyways...I hope to see everyone when they get home and stuff. :)

Finally!!!!

I had my last final about 2 hours ago. I think that I did fairly well on all of them, but I'm a little concerned about my Math final. I want to say that I did fine, but there's a part of me that feels like I did a horrible job and that I could have put a little more effort into it and tried harder and all that negative stuff. But, I'm just going to ingore the voice in my head because I know I passed all of my classes. I hope I did well, but there really isn't anything more I can do now.

We had a baby shower for one of my co-workers today. It went really well...there was lots of good food (and there still is most of it left) and she had no idea what was going on. It was great! One of the advisors found an OSU onesie and she also got a soft Brutus rattle and a pair of OSU socks for the baby (he's a boy), and almost everyone pitched in some money, which was put in a card that everyone signed. And I got her some Bath & Body Works...little bottles of some of their seasonal scents (the Wickedly Hot Chocolate smells amazing!!!). So, I think it went really well, and I know she was totally surprised, which is always fun! :)

Almost there

Well, I survived 2 out of my 3 finals today. My Geology one went okay, but I'm a little worried about my Math one...it seems like I BSed my way thru more of the questions than I actually answered knowing what I was doing. So, that grade should be interesting...
I have my Communications final tomorrow at 10, and that should be okay...hopefully I'll get a chance to look over the stuff from the beginning of the quarter (because the stupid thing is comprehensive!!!) so that I can remember some of it...*stab*

Fantastic

Today is my last day of classes...and it's my short day, so I get to leave at 1!! :) I really don't want to take my finals next week, but I suppose I kinda have to...if I don't, they won't pass me and all that fun stuff.
I'm hoping to find some new tennis shoes over the weekend because, since all the rain and stuff, I've noticed how un-waterproof my shoes actually are. They both have holes in the bottom, so my socks get soaked every time it's wet outside, which has been happening a lot lately. So, it's time to toss those and get some new ones!
I offered to take my brother to the mall this Saturday to show him that he can find some "cool" stuff without spending $300 on 5 articles of clothing at Abercrombie & Fitch. And I believe that his girlfriend's coming along, too...so, we'll see how that goes. But, I'm dragging Jake with me, so I'll at least have someone to talk to. :)

*double stab to the eye*

I had my exam in my Communications class this morning. I feel confident that I got at least 50% of the questions right...that's good, right? And I lost $2 today. I'm not really stressed about that, but it is $2, and that could be my lunch money for one of the days this week because I'm -poor-!!! (I hate it!) But oh well.

My mom left me a voicemail on my cell today telling me that my grandpa's in the hospital, so I'm going to stop by there and see him before I go home. Hopefully he'll be able to talk to me. I have no idea why he's there, so maybe I can get that out of him...if all else fails, I'll just bug my mom about it when I get home. So, that's fun...

Not long enough

I don't think this weekend was long enough...I wish we had a few more days to chill out. I didn't get to sleep in hardly at all, which makes me sad. I woke up this morning wishing that I could just turn off my alarm clock and roll over...but I was denied.

We only have this week and then finals next week (I only have finals on Monday and Tuesday, but I work all week *stab*) and then we go on Winter Break, which is a little over 3 weeks, I think. I can't wait! I'm so sick of school and work, school and work, school and work!!! I just want a little variety or something! And this past weekend was nice because it -was- different from my usual schedule. And I got to hang out with lots of people that I don't normally see, which is pretty much everyone. That was nice. :)

I got some stuff done over the weekend, though it was mostly shopping and not so much with the studying for my exam on Tuesday, which I really should be doing right now, but am obviously -not- doing. I really should at least try to know this stuff because it's going to be on the final, too. Oh well...I'll get around to it eventually, I guess.

Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I'm kinda excited about this holiday because I get to spend time with family and all that, but that won't happen until Saturday, really. Tomorrow, my time will be divided up between my house and Jake's house...yay. Friday, I'm gonna get to hang out with some friends who are back in town for the holiday! And I also plan on going to see "Happy Feet" because it'll be at the theatre in town. And, anyone is welcome to join me if they'd like. :) I'll be doing some Christmas shopping that afternoon, and if you don't hear from that evening, it's because all of the crazy day-after-Christmas-shoppers killed me. ;p Oh, and they're going to start playing Christmas music on the radio on Friday because it's the day after Thanksgiving, and that's what they do. So, that should get me into a shopping mood. :)

work

Well, I found out Friday what my work schedule's going to look like over break. I'll be working 8 am-12 pm on Wednesday, and from 8 am-5 pm Thursday and Friday. This is how it will be for the two whole weeks of break. The week of Christmas I'll only be working 8 am-12 pm Thursday and then 8 am- 5 pm Friday. And I'm not really sure about the 1st and 2nd of January...we may get those off, too. I don't know. So, that will be exciting! But not nearly as exciting as my schedule for Finals week....I think I'm all over the place that week! And my work schedule for winter might be okay...except for Fridays, because I have like a 6-hour work day...but no classes, which is cool.

OH YEAH!!!

OSU WON!!!!!!

I was so excited when I was watching the game this afternoon/evening! It was a really close game! It was awesome! It was a little tense during the last quarter when Michigan had the ball and there was only like 5 and a half minutes left on the clock; they did score, but we kept them from intersepting once we got the ball....and we didn't screw up! It was GREAT! I can't wait for the next one! :)

GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!

*stab*

I found out today that I'm almost definately going to be working over Christmas break, but I don't know what my schedule's going to look like yet, and I don't know if I'll be getting paid the same amount or maybe less (tho it would be great if they would pay me more ;p). I was really hoping to have that time off, but I can't just abandon the one other guy that's actually going to be working. But, I do believe that I get Christmas Eve, Day and the day after off, so that will be pretty nice, and the office isn't open on weekends.

I just read Sarah's blog and that reminded me of something that I've been thinking about. When I started college, I was sure that I wanted to teach...and I'm not really feeling that anymore. I'm still getting my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, but I'm not planning on getting the master's...at least, not right now. I'll have to talk to my advisor because I'm not sure what else I can do with a bachelor's in education besides teach...I should have asked her that when I had my appointment a week or so ago, but I didn't.

Anyways. I'm still pursuing the same kinda general direction as before, but not the exact same path. Hopefully I'll be able to find something that I'll enjoy. Obviously I'm not in it for the money, so that's not really a major part of my decision. I just hope I can figure something out. I've already invested 46 credit hours into this major...sure, a few of those classes might roll over into another major, but not all of them. I just...I don't know what to do anymore. I thought I had everything all figured out, but then things changed.

Winter Quarter

So, this is what my schedule (at least for my classes) is going to look like next quarter...Thursdays are probably going to make me want to stab myself.

Monday
Math 106: 10:20-11:40
Psych 367.01: 1:30-3:30

Tuesday
Math 106: 10:20-11:40
English 275: 1:30-3:30

Wednesday
Math 106: 10:20-11:40
Psych 367.01: 1:30-3:30

Thursday
English 275: 1:30-3:30
Art Educ 600: 5:30-9:00

I don't have any classes on Fridays, but I will probably work...I'm thinking that I'll be hating life next quarter. I'm only taking 3 more credit hours than I'm used to, but still...school and work definately suck when you have to do them together!

YAY!

I was out with my friend while she was doing some grocery shopping, and I found Egg Nog! That made me so happy! So, of course I had to buy some, and now it's in my fridge. :) That made my day.
Also, today is Tabby's birthday, but it's also Mike's birthday, and those two kinda hate eachother, and I think that's histerical (no offense to either of them, but it's pretty ironic). I don't really like birthday shopping for people these days because I never know what to get them. Yesterday, I was at the mall looking for something for Tabby and my brother's birthday is coming up soon, so I was looking for something from him, too...and I had absolutely no idea where to start. So, they both got/are getting gift cards. Sometimes they seem kinda impersonal, but I'll get them a more thoughtful gift for Christmas...when I have a little more time to plan it.
In other news...2 weeks from this past Thursday is Thanksgiving break! A 4-day weekend! I'm so f-ing excited. Unfotunately, I have a paper due on Tuesday of this coming week, and I think I may have some midterms before Thanksgiving, but oh well. I'll BS my way thru all of that and I'll be looking forward to that time off. I can't wait for winter break!

winter break

So, I just found out that I may not be able to work over Christmas break because I'm a work study student, and whoever's in charge of the program (someone in Washington, D.C.) apparently won't be paying any work study people for that time period. I'm really not sure how I feel about this. I kinda want to have a job so that I have money, but then I kinda want to have the time off so that I can hang with friends and have a good time between quarters and enjoy my break. So, I don't know about this. I guess maybe I'm having mixed feelings. But, right now I'm thinking that a break from work won't be such a bad idea by the time break rolls around. Some of my co-workers get on my nerves easily...so, time away from them would be great!

On to more recent news. My scheduling window opened up yesterday and I scheduled 2 classes that I thought I needed to fulfill requirements and whatnot, but when I had me meeting with my advisor this morning, I found out that one of them I don't necessarily -have- to take, so I dropped that and added 3 other classes. So, I'm going to have 18 credit hours Winter Quarter, and I'll be working...I don't know how that's going to work out...but, I can always drop the Art class if I feel a little overloaded. :) I'm hoping that I'll get thru that quarter okay...I'm taking my other writing course, and an English class, so I'm probably going to have loads of reading to do...yay.

Okay, for those of you who don't know yet, the book "Eragon" is being made into a movie and it will be in theatres December 15th! I'm so excited! I'm -so- going to see that opening night! So, if anyone's interested, we can go as a group or whatever. It doesn't really matter to me because I -will- be seeing it, either way. :)

Hump Day

Today is Wednesday (aka: Hump Day) and I realized today that they are my longest days... school sucks! I also realized that my scheduling window opens up today, and guess where I'll be when that happens...yeah, that's right, at Jake's house. I mean, I'll be over there crocheting with his mom, sister, and probably grandma, but still. Since she's had the surgery, we've spent every evening over there...I don't mind so much, but I'm starting to miss being home. I love spending time with Jake and everything, but while I'm there, everyone's taking care of his mom, which is what they should be doing, but I'm not spending that much time with him. Hopefully Katy and Tabby will give me a call tomorrow after they get off work and we can go hang out...just to get some variety in my life! I'm kinda desperate for a change right now! It seems like I follow the same schedule every single week, and it's getting old and tiring. I need to spice up my life.
And pretty much everyone's going to be home this weekend (except for Jess), so hopefully we can all do something. :) I don't know what, or where, but I'm sure we'll have a great time no matter where we end up...we always do.
Oh, and one more thing I'm getting tired of...my co-worker (the guy) pretty much never shows up on time, and he's been calling in a lot, not for the whole day, but still. Yesterday, he called in the morning and said he wouldn't be in until the afternoon...well, we really needed him to cover his shift that morning because there wasn't going to be anyone else up here. Our supervisor is out on her honeymoon, or whatever, so she wasn't here...she's gone all week, in fact. So, we had to tell her boss that nobody was going to be up at the desk for that period of time, and he found someone to cover. But, when I saw my co-worker later that day, I told him that he's going to have to "suck it up" sometimes during this week especially, because he can't be calling off for an hour or two every day. I tried to be nice when I was telling him this, and I hope I was. But, we can't afford to have the desk unattended...that would be bad.
So, I bought a pecan pie to take over to Jake's house for dessert tonight (I'm trying to help out a little with the food because Margie can't really cook right now) and I hope that it tastes ok. I'm kinda looking forward to having some. :) When I spend a bunch of time over at there house, I feel like I'm eating all there food...but, I have to eat -something- for dinner...I can't starve myself. And, I always end up eating over there anyways, cuz Jake makes me. But anyways. Mary is making calzones for dinner, and I'm pretty excited about that! :)

Ugh...

I can't believe that it's Monday again. This past weekend wasn't nearly long enough. I would have enjoyed being able to sleep in on Saturday, but my mom called me and asked me to run to the store for her....she called me at like 9:30 A.M. So much for sleeping in. And I went to 5 o'clock mass on Saturday, so I figured I could sleep in on Sunday...no such luck. My brothers had like 6 or 7 friends over and they were all up by like 9. Oh well...maybe I'll get some sleep next weekend.

I'm so excited tho, because I don't have class on Friday, and I don't have to work! I'm going to have the whole day to do what I want. I'm not going to know how to handle myself with all that free time. And Britt's coming home that day, so maybe I'll actually get to see her this weekend?! Yay Onion!

On a slightly sad note...Jake's mom is going in for surgery today. She's getting a "heel spur" removed...only it's not located in the typical area that heel spurs are usually in, so it might be a little more complicated to remove it. Anyways, I'm a little worried about her...I'm sure she will be fine, but I can't help but worry a little. There are always those bad images and thoughts that you suppress and shove to the back of your mind, but sometimes they escape. Jake and I are going to pick her up some flowers after we get out of class today, and hopefully she'll be able to recognize us...I'm not sure how doped up she'll be after the surgery.

So, for some good news. That book, Eragon, which is a pretty good book. Well, they're making it into a movie, and it comes out December 15th! I'm so going to see that opening night! I don't care if I've gotta pay the $8 they charge at the big theatre! So, I'm excited about that. :)

...eh

So, I'm here at work for the next 4ish hours and I have a feeling that it's going to be extremely boring...mostly because it's Thursday, and Thursdays and Fridays aren't busy here (usually). So, since I don't really have anything else to do, I figured I'd blog. :)

I found out today in my Communications class that our second paper (and our final one, thank God!) is now due on the 14th instead of the 9th. But, we have this survey thingy that we've gotta get done by the end of November, I think, and that's going to be a lot of BS! So, I'm glad that I have a little bit longer for the paper, which I'll probably start next week, sometime.

Oh yeah. Yesterday, my co-worker, Devin, introduced me to this new game. It's called Stick RPG. Basically, you walk around as this little stick person, whom you can name, and you try to improve their stats, and you can get a job, and then get a better job and so on. You can also buy stuff, like caffeine pills, which increase the length of your day, and you can get more done. And you can also get in bar fights, which I haven't done yet, but I plan on playing around with it more when I have the time...so, probably today. ;p

And tomorrow, I'm taking Jake to Olive Garden for lunch, which will be f-ing amazing and I can't wait! They have the pasta, salad and breadsticks lunch for like $6, or whatever it is, so I decided that I'm having lunch there on Friday because I get off work at 1 and I can actually leave campus. :) So, yay food!

Good things

I realized that I haven't blogged about anything good in my life lately...mostly because nothing really comes to me when try and think of the good stuff. So, I'm going to try and find some positive things to talk about...tho there might be some negative in there, cuz hey, that's life.

Well, yesterday I was checking Ebay to see if I could find some yarn for a friend's baby blanket that I'm working on (I had to check Ebay because nobody wants to carry the stuff anymore!), and I actually found the yarn, which is awesome. And, it won't be expensive to get it. The only bad thing is that I can't just get 1 or 2 things of yarn...I have to get 6 full ones and 1 partial one, and then a partial thing of white yarn...so that's going to be one massive baby blanket! ;p Oh, and I also found a thingy of the yarn that I'm using for Mary's scarf, so if I don't have enough, I can buy that, as long as it's still there. So, there are a few good things.
My parents' Halloween party is this Saturday and I'm hoping that will be a good time. There will be alcohol consumption, but I mostly plan on having fun and not puking my guts out...so there probably won't be a whole lot of that.

Oh, and here's a good thing. We don't have classes next Friday (for Veteran's Day) and I also don't have to work. So, I get the whole day off!!!! Yay! And I also get paid that day, which is awesome. So, I'll probably be using that day for shopping, and maybe I'll actually get something done.

I should be studying for my Geology Midterm right now, but I think I have a pretty good understanding of the material that we covered yesterday, and so all I really need to do is review the notes from 2 weeks ago, and maybe read a little bit out of the textbook, if I need a better understanding of something, and I think I'll be just fine. But, knowing me, now that I've said that I'm going to fail the test...great. I also have a Math test tomorrow, but I'll study for that when I do the "homefun" tonight that's due for tomorrow.

Oh yeah. I get to pass out candy to the little trick-or-treaters (I'm hoping that the weather is nice for that) tonight, as long as my mom doesn't want to do it. And, if Jake comes over, I'll make him sit out there with me. If the weather sucks, tho, we won't get a whole lot of kids. :( But that just means that there is more candy left over for us! :D

My poor foot.

Saturday night, I was lying down in my bed when my phone rang. I figured it was my mom, so I knew I couldn't ignore it cuz she would just keep calling. So, I got out of bed. When I put my left foot on the ground, it slid back under one of the drawers on my bedframe. When I went to walk towards my desk (where my cell is) I, of course, had to lift my foot up, and it got caught on the drawer, ripping into the back of my foot. I didn't realize how badly it was bleeding until I got off the phone and checked it out. Anyways. I went downstairs and had my mom put some antibiotic oinment on it and a couple of bandaids. When I woke up Sunday morning, I took the bandaids off because they were falling off anyways, and I had a nice-sized chunk of skin hanging off my foot. Well, I pulled it off because it really wasn't serving any purpose hanging off my foot like that. It's such a weird feeling...pulling skin off of yourself. And I don't know that it's ever going to heal because it keeps rubbing up against the back of my shoe, which hurts...like a bitch, sometimes...
So yeah, missing a decent sized chunk of skin now...yay. And I really don't want to be at work today...I just want to be at home sleeping. Oh, and I'm kinda ticked because I wanted to undo what I had of Mary's scarf done and make it less wide so that the yarn would stretch farther (because nobody carries the stuff anymore!). Well, when I tried to unravel the thing, which usually isn't difficult (you just pull on the one end and it undoes the stitches) but the dang thing got stuck somehow. So, I tried to cut it, but that didn't work and I ended up f-ing that up. So, I started from the bottom, and I think I can get it done that way, but since I'm going backwards, it's going to take a really long time. So yeah...I thought it was going to be simple, but I'm denied. I probably shouldn't have used such a small hook for that yarn (it's got a bunch of fuzz and stuff and it's hard to see the stiches).

I can't believe that I forgot to blog about this!

My aunt finally went to stay at her house this past Sunday (a gift from God!), and I got my room back. She even took Callie, her cat, with her, so I actually have my room all to myself again. I'm so happy! So, now I'll actually be able to be on my computer, and not rely on just using the one at work to check my e-mail and read thru everyone's blogs and all that. So, being on my computer at home more means that I'll be on my messengers more, which means that I will actually get to talk to people. :D

Aside from my aunt "moving out," there really hasn't been all that much going on in my life lately. Every Wednesday, I go over to Jake's house and crochet with his mom, sister, and grandma (and sometimes his cousin shows up), and I've started working on a blanket that I'll probably give to Jake. I made him a fleece tie-blanket for Christmas, and I got that done either last week or the week before, so I at least have a little Christmas gifting out of the way. I'm also currently working on a scarf for his sister, Mary, for Christmas, but I can't work on that in front of her, hence the need for another project to work on.

I get paid again this Friday (as long as the direct deposit works this week) and I'm hopefully going to go out and buy myself a winter coat. I really didn't think I would be needing one this soon, but since we've already had snow, I figured it might be a good idea to get one.

I'm so excited about the upcoming Christmas season! I love this time of year! I love buying gifts for everyone, and making Christmas cookies and sometimes pies...pretty much just baking in general. And I love the snow...at least until Christmas is over, and then I'm ready for it to stop. But, the interesting part this year is going to be saving my money, and not spending it on myself, so that I have some to buy gifts with. ;p I don't think it will be too much of a problem, hopefully.

"Haunted Trails Adventure"

So, I went "haunted housing" yesterday with Jake, Mike and 7 other people (most of whom I know from campus). We went to the "Haunted Quarry," which is in Lima/Ada (I think Ada, but I'm not really sure). Anyways...that one was ok, but it wasn't really scarry...just loud and the fog and strobe lights were pretty annoying.
The second one we went to was the "Fear Factory" in Finley. We had to wait in line for like 3 hours! I was so f-ing cold by the time we got to the ticket counter. And it only took about 15-20 minutes to go thru the thing. It was better than the first one (and cheaper, which was great), and the proceeds went to the "Make A Wish" foundation, which I thought was awesome. So, even if just for that fact, it was worth freezing my ass off in that line. ;p

Stress

I'm starting to think that I'm really stressed out this quarter. I'm sure it's from a combination of things. I really want to be a good student and pay attention in class and do well on the tests and quizes, but sometimes I find my mind wandering during lecture...and I know that I procrastinate when it comes time to study. At the beginning of the quarter, I was kindof expecting my work load to be small, but now that we're about halfway thru Autumn Quarter, I'm starting to realize that I shouldn't have slacked off so much at the beginning.

I really wasn't all that worried about my Math class...until this week when we have our first test.
I was somewhat worried about my Communications class, mostly because we have a few papers in there...but now I'm concerned about the midterm, even though it's multiple choice, if you don't know the terms, you're not going to be able to answer the questions.
And I wasn't worried about my Geology class, until I took the first midterm and I didn't ace it like I thought I would...but I'm still not that worried about it because we get to drop the lowest midterm grade.

Anyways. Last night, I was laying in "bed" (aka: the futon mattress I'm forced to sleep on because my aunt just WON'T leave!) and I had a cramp in my side (at least, that's what it felt like), so I figured that I could just roll over and take the pressure off of that side and it would go away. No such luck...the pain still persisted. I'm pretty sure it's connected somehow to my stress, but I'm not a doctor or anything, so I don't know how.

I know I should be studying instead of hanging with Jake, or watching TV, or working on crocheting projects, or the tie-blanket project that I just finished, but I can't study and be a good student and read all the time...I just can't do it. I just feel like I'm not really taking college seriously, and I know I should be, and I feel bad...hopefully I'll do better next quarter...*shrugs*

...will it ever end?!

I guess my aunt's supposed to have the keys to her house turned over to her this Friday, which is all fine and dandy, but I don't think she's planning on like moving in there right away...I think she's gonna stay at our house until after her shower gets set up...and that could put her being at my house for a month or more. It was only supposed to be two weeks! I never signed up to lose my room for an f-ing month! That was so not in the deal! I just want her to take her crap, and take her cat, and go over to her house! My room is barely big enough for all of my stuff, and she's got about half as much as I do...and she was only supposed to be staying with us for 2 weeks.

In other news. I went to grab some breakfast out of the vending machine in the "staff lounge" (and I can do that because I work here) and the machine counted the money that I put in there, but it spit it back out...so I basically got free food. I tried 2 more times to get it to take my money, but it wouldn't...so I got 3 free things from the vending machine. I kinda feel bad, but then, I kinda don't, because I definately spend enough money at this school! Oh well.

What the deuce?!?!

So, yesterday I was in my Communications class and I realized just how far behind in the reading I am....about 6 1/2 chapters..maybe 7. And we have a midterm next Thursday covering all of that. The chapters that I have to read in the book are so f-ing long! That's mainly the reason why they aren't done yet....it's taking forever to read the first one. I mean, they're not exactly boring because the author's writing style is pretty unique and she writes like she's talking to you, but it's still very time-consuming. So, I basically have a week to read all of these chapters (2-6 in the text book and 2 other chapters in this other little book-those chapters aren't long, but they're kinda boring), and I don't think I'm going to get it all done in time. Especially not at the rate that I'm going...sitting here posting a blog instead of reading, or studying for my math quiz like I should be. The whole reading thing wouldn't be happening anyways because I don't have my books with me, but I so could be studying for the math quiz...and I'm not. But, it's only over 2 sections...it can't be that difficult...right?... I have about 2 hours in between my classes today (when I'll be working) and I can probably find a few minutes to look everything over. I'm sure I'll feel better about it if I do that. I'm sure I'll do fine without studying, but it can't hurt, right?

The Wedding

I went to a wedding on Saturday. It was absolutely gorgeous! I'm not really sure what the other color was, but the one color was Eggplant (the color of the bridesmaids' dresses). And the styles of the dresses were great, too....except for the backs of the dresses..they seemed a little strange in their design, but whatever. The decorations were great....they kinda went with a fall theme, which I thought was great. And Kari's (the bride) dress was awesome. Strapless, white, with lots of glitter, and maybe some beadwork, but I really didn't get close enough to tell. I hope I can look half as good as she did at my wedding!
But, getting to the wedding...that was pretty close to a nightmare! Mom and I were running late for her supposed hair appointment (I don't think you can make appointments at Great Clips, but she thought she had one..anyways) and it was all my fault, of course, because I didn't let her have the shower first. Well, Susie (my aunt) also had a wedding that day, but it wasn't until later, and she got in the shower before me, so I would have been out in plenty of time if she wouldn't have been in there. Anyways. It took Maddie about an hour to do Mom's hair because it's so f-ing long and she was curling it. So, we were running late-r. It only took her about half an hour to do mine, and it looked great, but since she couldn't take her time, some of the curls fell out, but that's ok. So, we finally get home and the boys had called their friend's parents to see if they could hang out there for the day, and they could. Well, since Jake was at my house already, we decided to go grab some Arby's, since we both hadn't eaten. Well, I made the mistake of telling Mom where we were going...she asked us to pick up some food for them, too. So, the person at Arby's taking the order messed things up and it took about 5 minutes to straighten it out. We finally got the food back (after we had to stop at Wal-Mart to grab a card for Mom) and it was about quarter after 11, and we were gonna leave around 11:30 to get there in time (the wedding was at 1 pm in Ft. Jennings, which is about an hour away). Well, I had to shove food at the boys and get them over to their friend's house. We get them dropped off and I realize that I forgot some stuff at home...so it's back to my house. By this time, I've already spilled Dr. Pepper on my crotch about 3 times. I get my stuff and I'm backing out when I asked Jake for my sandwich. He pulls it out, and I guess when I was backing out, he didn't have time to grab the drink that was in his lap, and it spilled all over my floor...there was very little left in the bottom of the cup by the time he grabbed it. So yeah, that was fun. But then, things actually started looking up. Jake dropped a thing of honey mustard that he was using for his fries, and it landed "jelly-side up" (as the expression goes), and he didn't get any on him. But, he did manage to get some horseradish, or something like that on him before that...white stuff on his pants, of course. And, even though we were running about 10-15 minutes late when we finally left Wapak, we made it to the church with 8 minutes to spare. Yay for going 80-85 on US 30! We got there, and, as I said, the wedding was beautiful. The reception was okay. The decorations were pretty, but it seemed to take forever before we got to eat, and the cake was kinda dry tasting (at least, that's what I thought), but the dancing was fun. I made Jake dance with me. He was all self-conscious because he can't dance or whatever (he can slow dance, but anything else is kinda dodgy), but I told him not to worry about it. I made him dance with me because I've never had a date to a wedding...and I really don't wanna dance with my dad, so I usually didn't do a whole lot of dancing. But, we had a good time. We were beat by the time we got home. And we didn't technically get lost on the way home because the stupid people who named the roads in Ft. Jennings need to be kicked in the head. We were looking for Redd Road...but they changed the name on their end to Road 21, or something like that. So, we drove past it several times, and I just decided that I was gonna take it and pray that it was the right one, and, for once, it was! :) So, we left early cuz I thought I was gonna have to pick up my brothers, but I didn't, but we still left anyways. And we got home around 9:30. :) It was fun, but after the experience I had on the way there, I'm in no hurry to have to go thru this myself!

I WANT MY ROOM BACK!!!!!!!

So, my aunt's been staying with us since Saturday and she's f-ing taken over my room! Her stuff is EVERYWHERE! Every time I turn around, I run into one of her totes, or one of her bags (she's only staying with us for about 2 weeks, but she definately brought enough stuff to last her for about 2 months!), and she's got stuff in both my extra (storage) closet and in the bathroom closet. We can't even close that door because her 2 f-ing humongous suitcases. And I know I leave soda cans all over my room and stuff, but right now I've only got one on my desk...and she's got at least one empty one on my headboard....and I think a few unopened ones here and there. Oh, and did I mention that she gets to sleep in my bed?!?! Yeah, I get stuck on the futon mattress on the floor. And she has to have the TV on to fall asleep, I guess...so I have to wait until she's asleep before I can turn it off. I really don't think this next week or so is going to be all that fantastic for me. Oh yeah, she's basically taken over my room, so I was downstairs watching TV and heating up some food. I left to go grab my food (or stick it in the microwave, or whatever), and I come back into the living room and she's sitting on the couch watching TV... I guess Nick fell asleep on the futon upstairs while he was petting Callie (sp?) and I guess she didn't want to disturb him or something.
Anyways...I guess I'm done bitching about that for now. Just give me about a day and I'm sure I'll add to the list. ;p

He's so F-ing frustrating!!!

Last night when my dad got home from his classes, I guess he was too sick or too tired and he had too much homework or what the fuck ever to go pick Ben up from Show Choir practice....so guess who got stuck doing it...Me. And when Ben got home, he remembered that he had to do some work for a project and he needed the computer...but Dad was on it, and he didn't want to give up the computer, so guess who had to let Ben use her computer...Me. Whenever he wants something, it's "give me what I want and fuck everyone else!" and I just hate it!!! I don't see why he thinks he deserves a break more than me or Mom...heck, I think Mom deserves one more than anyone. But, I work and go to school and I was over helping my aunt pack some of her stuff up....I've got a busy schedule, and all he has to do is go to school. Sure, he refs a few football games here and there, but I don't really think that's very stressful...I just don't understand why he can't have some consideration for other people. If he doesn't want to do something, by God, somebody else better pick up the slack! He just pisses me off so much sometimes! I have lots of stuff I'd rather be doing than picking Ben up from his extracuricular activities, but Ben is -his- son for fuck's sake! I shouldn't have to be picking up my brothers all the time when he's perfectly capable of doing it. I had to drop some stuff off at the house (and I still had an hour or so to kill before picking Ben up anyways) and when I walked in the door, guess what he was doing, sitting on the couch being a freaking bum, not doing the homework he supposedly had to do (you know, pretty much the whole reason he gave for not being able to pick Ben up in the first place)....he was just sitting on his ass. I guess I'm supposed to feel bad for him because he's sick and he doesn't feel good, but, you know what...tough shit! I was kinda sick yesterday, and I had homework I could have been doing, but I had other responsibilities to take care of...and that's what I did!
Well, I think I'm done venting for now....I just really needed to get that off my chest. Man, I can't believe how much of an ass he can be!

Time

I miss having time to spend with my friends. By the time I get home, the friends that I have that are still in the same area as me are at work, and they won't get off work until later that night, and by that time, I'm heading to bed because I have to be up early the next day. Thankfully I've got weekends off, but they don't always, so it's difficult to make time. But, hopefully this weekend I'll at least get to see a few of them and have some fun. Though, I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have on Saturday because I'm helping my aunt move her crap into storage. Oh yeah..and she's staying with us for about 2 weeks..and she's sleeping in my bed..even though that's not what -I- want...but I guess that doesn't matter to anyone. So yeah...I basically lose my room for 2 weeks...so I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time over at Jake's house during those weeks.
I'm planning on visiting Columbus sometime in October, so I will look up all of you who are there, if I have time, which I should. So, I guess I'll see you sometime in October. :)

This quarter

So, I've officially been to all of my classes now, and I have a general idea about each of them. My Geology class is most likely going to be pretty easy because I took Honors Geology Spring Quarter last year and I got a B in the class without even really trying...and that class had a bunch of projects and stuff in it, which this one doesn't have. So, I'm fairly positive that I will be fine in that class. My Communications class seems like it's going to be fairly easy, and maybe even a little fun (and it's not a public speaking class, thank God!!!), so that shouldn't be too bad, either. However, my Math class doesn't seem like it's going to be all that great. It said on the course sheet that it's "math concepts for teachers", which would seem like it's going to help you teach math to kids or whatever, but I really don't know that that's how it's going to be. One of my coworkers took that class and she said that it didn't really seem like she could use any of the materials she learned in there and that it really didn't seem like it would help her teach other people math. So, I'm a little concerned about how I'm going to do in this class...a little worried about how the tests and quizes are going to go, but I'm determined to try my best and hopefully pass it! :)

I got a job finally

I had someone call me on Wednesday about a work study job in the Academic Advising Office, but I didn't get the message until later in the evening, and it was too late to call them back. So, the lady that left me the message called me back the next afternoon. We talked and she told me she can schedule me for 20 hours a week, which is pretty good. I'm not sure what the pay is or what I'll be doing, and I won't know that until I go in to see her on Monday. But I'm pretty sure I'm not going to turn down the job, so yeah...I've got a job! :) I'll have money for Christmas shopping and I won't have to be broke. The only downside is that I basically have to buy myself at least part of a new wardrobe because I'll need "business casual" things, and I really don't have anything like that. Oh well.

More exciting news. After tomorrow, my aunt's garage sale will be over and then she won't be consuming my every waking moment anymore...until she asks me to help her move into her new house. I don't know how much help I'm going to be able to offer since I'll be in school when she does the moving. But, she'll pay me for whatever help I can give...and money is -always- good! *nods* So, we'll see.

I'm kinda interested to see how I'm going to do with having school and work this quarter. I didn't work last year and I'm just wondering if it's going to cut into my homework time?!?! But, since it is a "work study," if they don't have any work for me, I can do homework. :) So, that's always a plus.

Yay shopping

I went shopping today for Jake, and I probably spent way too much money, but I guess it's okay because I also got a few things for myself, and I really did need to use up the rest of the money on the Old Navy gift card that Jake got me like 2 months ago. So now I have this new sweater thingy, which is really soft and pretty, and I also got myself a new pair of pj pants. :)

I already had a couple of pairs of boxers for Jake, but I also got him a ring (which I can't really describe because the design's a little weird, but it has a kinda blueish-black background behind the design, and that's pretty) and a green long-sleeved button-up shirt. I went with green because almost everything in his wardrobe is BLUE!! Don't get me wrong, blue is a good color for him, but come on...there -are- other colors out there...at least maybe get a little bit more variety!

Stupid boys

What fucking good is a cell phone if you bring it with you (when you actually have some freaking minutes on the damn thing) but you leave it on vibrate sitting in another room?!?! I just don't understand how boys can function without using their F-ING brains!
Jake and I have plans for later this evening, but when I called him, he wasn't at home. Well, that's fine. I don't expect him to sit at home waiting on my calls...that would be sad, and kinda creepy. Anyways, his mom had no idea where he was, and so I tried the cell. Did he answer?...NO! So, I'm figuring that he doesn't even have it with him, which is great because how the hell would I get ahold of him then?!?! So, I called Mike's cell, figuring that maybe, just maybe, Jake might be with him. Well, he was....and he did have his cell with him...but it was in a different room, on vibrate, so he couldn't hear it... I thought the point of a cell phone was to be able to reach someone while they're away from a home phone or whatever, and I realize that I don't always hear my phone ring, but I do check it for any missed calls frequently while I'm out and about, and I'm pretty good about getting back to whoever called me...unless my phone is being incredibly retarded and not letting me know that anyone has called...which it does on occasion. So, I don't want to sound hypocritical, but seriously...I would bet that he never would have even known I called if I hadn't been able to get ahold of Mike...not that I'm bitter or anything.

On a slightly happier note, I'm going shopping for stupid pony boy tomorrow because next Wednesday is our 6-month anniversary. I swear that if he pushes our dinner plans back or something, I'm going to f-ing rip his head off!!! Wait..think happy..this is supposed to be happier...at least a little. Though I think Britt might consider heads being ripped off as very friendly and definately amusing. But anyways. That's all I've got to bitch about...for now. Have a nice day! :)

King's Island

So, yesterday was my trip to King's Island with Jake and his family. If I've ever been there, it was when I was much younger and I don't remember it. Anyways. King's Island was bought out by Paramount, so they had this (I'm assuming) new section that had a bunch of the Nickelodeon cartoons and rides and stuff for them. Mary and I hunted down Spongebob and Patrick, but we also saw Dora and one of her friends on the show, and we saw Blue.

The first ride we went on was one called "The Italian Job". We rode in Mini Coopers and the ride was just all over the place. We stopped by this helocopter and the blades started spinning, and there were gun shots and then these gas cans starting leaking. And then there was fire. After that, we were taken into a tunnel and I had no F-ing idea where I was going because it was dark and I couldn't see a damn thing! I was just really glad when that ride was over... But I got a pretty amazing quote out of myself while in line for the ride. "Never underestimate the power of the weenie inside me." I don't think I'm really ever going to live that one down...

The next ride we went on was the Wild Thornberry's ride. That was a lot of fun. You can seat up to 5 people in this little log-shaped "car" and then you basically slide down tubes on the water, after you're pulled up a hill and dropped. But there really isn't a "track" for the log, so you kinda bump into the sides and that makes sure you're going in the right direction. Along the way there are things that squirt you with water, and almost at the end you go down another hill and that's where they take your picture. The picture of Mary, me, and Jake's parents (we were all in the same log) was hilarious, mostly because of the face Jake's mom made. And once you get down to the bottom, you go around one more bend and then an elephant squirts you with water...he gets everyone! I was shaking my arm to kinda get some of the water off and Jake's ring slipped off of my thumb and landed on the gravel by the elephant. The first guy I talked to basically told me there was nothing he could do about it, but when we rode it again later on, another guy told me to go talk to the ladies at the beginning of the ride and they would have me fill out a slip so they could mail it to me when they got to it. The first time we rode, Mary was in front, so she got pretty much soaked. I was in front the second time and I definately got water in my mouth, which is disgusting and I'm surprised I don't have things growing in it right now! ;p

Next we rode in this big tube, I guess it's supposed to be similar to White Water Rafting or something like that. But anyways...you go down this "river" and you get slashed and squirted the whole way. Jake got drenched the first time, and Mary was lucky enough to get it the second time...she got some up her nose. That ride was lots of fun.

Then, I guess everyone decided to ride the Tomb Raider ride....bad idea! I'm not exactly sure what all directions we went in that thing, but I definately know we were hanging upside down for about a minute and having water squirted at our faces. That ride wasn't worth the line. It was way too damn long for the f-ing headache I had afterwards.

After us kids got done with the water rides, we all did a little shopping (Mary bought me a bit lolly pop, and I got a set of 4 really cool shot glasses...I gave one each to Mom and Dad, and then I kept one and gave the orange one to Jake) and then we decided to head out because we were all cold and tired. All in all, it was a freaking fantastic day. And if we get to go again next year, I will definately know what to expect and I will prepare! :)

FOOD!!!

I'm pretty hungry right now (even though I had a bagel at like 10:30 this morning) but I can't really eat anything because I'm waiting on Jake. He was supposed to be done with work today around 10...but, of course, that didn't happen. And I figured it wouldn't, considering last Wednesday was supposed to be his last day...and that didn't go as planned. So, I'm sitting here, being hungry, and waiting for him to show up. Hopefully they get this last truck loaded up soon, and then he can head over here so we can grab some FOOD!! He told me that I should probably grab a "light snack" and that should tide me over for a bit, but there's only one problem with that idea...we don't have any "snacks" really. Just chips, and I don't feel like having those -again- this week, for like the 12th time. So, I'm just going to sit here and complain, because it's what I'm good at. ;p

Myspace

I started a Myspace account last night because I was kinda getting bored with this blog site, and I just wanted to check it out. Well, Myspace is -so- complicated and I don't know how to do half the stuff I was looking at, and I'll need time to figure it out, and I really don't want to take that time right now. So, I came back here to post a blog. :) Hopefully I figure everything out, but I'm not really stressing about it.

Oh yeah...I lost my cell phone today, temporarily. I couldn't remember where I'd had it last. It slowly came back to me as the search progressed. I remembered putting it on the charger shortly after Jake came over. And then I remembered using it as a flashlight when I went in to search my brothers' room for my remote (I needed to see if they'd stolen it, but I couldn't turn on the lights because they were asleep). But I knew I'd put it back on the charger after I looked in there. I couldn't remember having it after that. My mom asked me if I'd used it at all today, and at first I thought "no", but then I remembered getting a call when I was brushing my teeth, and I slipped the phone in my bathrobe pocket when I was done using it. I usually end up finding my "lost" stuff in the weirdest places. Like the time I misplaced some money at my grandpa's house...I had put it down on one of the shelfs in his fridge when I was getting a drink. That was interesting.

My car

So, Jake's dad took a peak at my car and he thinks that maybe one of the hoses is leaking, which is good, because it's probably going to be relatively inexpensive to replace. But, I'm going to have one of my friend's dad take a look at it cuz he's a mechanic and I want to see what his opinion is before I take it to the garage. I also took my car by the muffler shop downtown and asked the guy about the funny noise that my car makes. He didn't really answer me about the noise, probably because he didn't understand it, but he told me that one of the clips that holds my muffler in place was broken and that my muffler definately had a few holes in it. So, that's going to need replaced. Thankfully it's only going to be around $55 for that, plus taxes, but still, probably close to $60. I really don't know what it's going to cost to fix the leakage problem, but hopefully it's not too costly. Maybe after those two things get fixed my car will like me more and stop being angry...? :)

Why me?!?!

I should have never opened my big mouth about not having anything to blog about because now I have something, it's just nothing good.

I decided that my car was in need of gas, considering that it was down to 1/16th of a tank, so I put my last $20 in it. When I was heading back to my car, I noticed that it was dripping...my car was leaking antifreeze YET AGAIN!! Hopefully the problem isn't as bad, or as expensive to fix, as the last one, but I really don't need this right now. I'm completely broke right now, so I can't even pretend to get it fixed until I get more money...and since I currently have no job, who knows when that will be!

I also discovered today that my computer's being a -bitch-! I was trying to use Internet Explorer today, and it was being really slow when it was loading the websites and such. And then it just pretty much stopped working, period. Well, I found out that Mom was trying to send this mega-huge file out and that that's probably what was interfering with my internet usage. Whatever it was, it's fixed now. But, as I was attempting to write this blog about 10 minutes ago, my compy decided it was a great time to freeze up! So I had to reboot, of course, and start all over.

Today is a -fantastic- day! *STAB!!!*

Boring

It just occurred to me that my life has been pretty boring lately. I really haven't had much to blog about all summer, and I don't know if that will change once Fall Quarter starts up or not. I'm supposed to go to Canada this weekend with Kate and Britt to go drinking (cuz it's legal for 19-year-olds there), but I don't really have the money for it, and if I left, I would be missing several money-making opportunities. So, I had to rule that out. I think that would be the most blog-worthy experience for some time now, but I won't be able to blog about it, except to say that I didn't go, and, by not going, probably missed out on some neat experiences. Oh well. I'm really hoping to be able to visit Florida during Winter Break this year, and that means that I've got to save up and I can't blow my savings on alcohol. I also have the whole Christmas thing to worry about, and my list of people to buy gifts for has pretty much doubled because of the whole boyfriend thing. So that will be fun....I never know what to get my friends...how am I supposed to figure out what to get Jake's family?!?! Well, Mary will be easy, but his mom and dad are gonna be tough, unless I can just get them a gift certificate for a nice restaurant and call it a day...

In other news, Gir is ripping the -fuck- out of my hands still, and Mom bought her little balls with stuff in them that allows them to rattle (which is fun for me), so she rolls those around my room, bumps into everything in her path, and makes as much noise as she can...every day! I guess Mom and I are still trying to get my aunt to take her, but we have to wait until she gets her own place, which could be a while at this rate. But anyways. I love my little kitty, but she drives me NUTS sometimes!!! I have to wear her out before I even attempt to sleep at night, and she's usually up around 7 am chewing on my feet, anyways. It's great...you guys should try it sometime..*stab*

Alone Time

Ok, so I love all of my friends dearly...even the ones who I can only stand for a few hours at a time. But, my friend, Deana, spent almost 5 whole days at my house...she finally left this afternoon, and she'd been here since Thursday afternoon. I mean, I love her to death and she's my friend, but she's kinda high-maintenance friends and so 5 consecutive days of hanging out is way too much! I don't mind helping her out, and she really did need to stay here for those days, but I was really glad that she got to leave today. I'm definately going to enjoy being able to sleep in my room without having to worry about her waking me up when I'm almost asleep to ask me something.

In other news, Jake's birthday was yesterday and I got him a -Blue- Gameboy Advance SP (I -had- to get him a BLUE one!). His parents got him a Jerky Machine, which is cool (it's what he wanted last year, but I guess they couldn't find one) and the jerky it makes is really good. He was a little...upset, I guess might describe it, that I spent so much on him, but I couldn't help it. I didn't know what else to get him!
His mom made a Butterfinger Cake. It's basically chocolate cake soaked in caramel with like a two-inch layer of whipped cream, and then sprinkled with Butterfingers. It was really good, but his mom gave me a huge piece and I thought I was gonna die after I ate it. I made myself waddle down to Wal-Mart to try and work some of it off. ;p So anyways, I think he had a good birthday. The gifts were definately better than I guess they were last year (apparently he got a pillow, which he didn't even get to keep because someone stole it from him).

Oh Happy Day!!!!

I was kinda dreading having to help my aunt pack up some of her stuff and all that jazz because I knew it probably was going to take a while, and everything was all coated in about 20 layers of dust because it hasn't been moved since the late 80's!! (I don't really think that's true, but if you'd seen all the dust, I'm sure you would have thought the same thing) So, even though my aunt offered to pay me, I was still dreading having to do it, but I got out of bed, got dressed, and headed over there anyways.
Like I said, there were about 20 layers of dust covering every single snowman in her collection, and, of course, that's what she wanted me to pack up. So, I quickly blew a few layers of dust off of everything before I wrapped it up (if it was breakable) and stuck it in a box...I only bothered with a few layers because I didn't have a dust rag, and it probably would have taken me twice as long to dust them completely. So, my lungs are probably a nice dusty grey color right about now, but that's ok because I think I'm gonna live.
We made pretty good progress today, considering the vast amount of shit that my aunt owns, and I guess next time we're gonna tackle what's in the attic...and that will involve me climbing in there and dragging her crap out, which will be fun...*stab* I've never been in the attic, but I always wanted to go in there when I was a kid...I don't know...maybe it was the mystery behind the idea or something. Anyways. So that's on the agenda for next time.
But anyways, she had me going thru boxes and doing kinda like a quick sweep, getting rid of what I -knew- was garbage, and tossing anything she might need to sort out into another box. That was pretty easy to do...if it looked old, I tossed it. I may have tossed a little more than I should have (I probably could have set aside some of the pens and stuff, but hey, she'll never miss them!!!). So, I got thru about 10 or so boxes, when she pointed out a shabby box full of her crafts stuff. Since the box was falling apart, I decided to move the crafts into a better box and toss out the other one. Well, actually only the top layer of stuff was craft stuff...underneath were some beach towels in a white mesh bag, which I recognized as being a Navy laundry bag. Before I noticed the bag, however, I noticed a little blanket that was in the box with the towels. I picked up the blanket because I knew exactly what it was...it was my baby comforter...my security blanket. When we first moved up here, I looked and looked for that thing, because I needed a little security, and I couldn't find the stupid thing. Well, now I know why...it had been left at Grandma and Grandpa's house with that mesh bag of beach towels...but I'm still not sure how or why. But that's not important because I've got my blanket back!!! :) After 5+ years, I never imagined that I'd see it again...but I have it now! Sure, it's all faded, but hey, it's like 18 or so years old. It makes me happy! :)
So, yay. There's my good news for the month. Well, I suppose the fact that yesterday was Jake's and my 5-month anniversary is good news, too. But I heart my baby blanket!

Mario

So, Jake and I played some Mario today, because I finally got the stupid game cartridge that I had to order off of Ebay and have the angry little guy selling it to me whine about the Pay Pal transaction not going through after 3 freaking days..even though it told me it would be done in about 4...*bitter*...anyways. So, we played Mario for a good hour, until we got to this one castle that took us both forever to beat. When Jake finally beat it, I decided it was time to save the game and do something else. I had already planned to turn off the game once we got passed that level, but when it took that long to beat, I was so f-ing frustrated!! But, it's cool, and we had fun. I have to say that even though it wasn't really a "date" it was the best date we've had so far, I do believe. Sure, it's okay to dress nice and go out to eat and stuff like that, but I'm completely fine with staying home and watching a movie, or playing Mario, or even taking a nap...fun times. I recommend having a Mario date to anyone who wants to have some good, clean, if not a little frustrating at times, fun. :)

When you try and do a good thing...

When I tried to do a good thing yesterday, it turned around and bit me on the ass!! I went to the fairgrounds and gave blood. I got through everything...the being stuck with a needle and having to open and close my hand to pump the blood out of me faster...and even the pulling out of the needle...I was completely fine. Well, I did feel a little dizzy when I was trying to read the paper they got me, but I put the paper done and I was fine. I ate some chocolate chip cookies, and I was sitting down talking to Sarah, and there was a lull in the conversation, and I felt the dizziness coming on, and I knew I was gonna pass out, but I couldn't tell anyone because I wouldn't have had time. So, I pass out, and the next thing I know, there are two strange people hovering over me and the lady is saying "Maggie, Maggie" and I'm just like in a daze. Then they start making me talk and they make me drink a Pepsi, and that kinda hurt my stomach. So, just when I thought I was feeling better, I'd get a stomach ache or get dizzy again, and they would make me lie down.
I was talking to Sarah, when I was actually able to talk, and she said that I just kinda fell over and started to twitch. And she left me a voicemail on my cell asking me to have Mom call her...she was wondering if I'd had a seizure, because she said that's what it'd looked like...Mom said it was just one of my little "quirks"... I pass out and twitch sometimes when I see blood...yay me.
So anyways, I called Mom and she came and got me. When I got home, I barely had time to throw myself on the couch and kick of my flip-flops before I passed out yet again. So, I spent all of my afternoon and part of my evening on the couch...and it killed my stomach for me to walk to the bathroom, which I had needed since before I gave blood. So, when I woke up the first time after I fell on the couch, I decided that I should go there, cuz I was feeling fine when I was lying down...but when I stood up, I got a little dizzy again. I decided that I'd have to put up with the dizzy.
I just don't know why this happened like this. I've never passed out right after giving blood. The first time, I don't think I passed out at all, and the second time, I passed out like 4 or 5 hours later, but I never had a stomach ache. It was really weird. And, I think this experience has turned me off from donating blood for a while. We'll see.

Yay pool

I got to swim today, finally. It's been a while since I've been to the pool, and I really wanted the water to be cool and refreshing...but it kinda felt like I was swimming in a gigantic bathtub. The water was warm and towards the end of my visit, it was definately cooler outside the water than in it, and that depresses me because when I think swimming pool, I think cool water...not bathtub.

So it was me, Britt, Kate and Tabby there today and it was quite enjoyable, aside from the water temp. We all went out to Arby's afterwards and had some food...and we stayed there for about an hour, only actually eating for about 20 minutes of that time. ;p

While at Arby's, we decided that we should watch "Team America" (America...FUCK YEAH!!!!) at Kate's house...only, when I went home to pick the movie up, there was no movie at my house because it had been borrowed. So, we had a slight glitch in our plans...but Tabby got ahold of Kate and then we ran over to Family Video and rented that and "Doom" so we would have the movie...fuckers! Anyways. We watched "Team America" but I had to leave before we got around to "Doom" because I'm helping my aunt pack her stuff up tomorrow..and I have to be up at 8...*death* So we're scheduled to resume the movie night tomorrow/today/whatever. :) Hopefully "Doom" is a very violent movie, which it looks like it will be, but still. :)

Kitty

Why does it seem that Gir only wants to sleep when I'm awake? I lie down at night and she proceeds to claw my hands or my face...last night she got my lip with one of her claws, which was kinda painful cuz it felt like the claw almost got stuck in my lip...that would have been great...

So it's about 2 1/2 hours before I have to be at work and all I feel like doing is lying in my bed and doing a whole lot of nothing. I'm hoping that if I get the work study job on campus, I'll be a little more willing to work there. It's not that I hate my job, because it's really not that bad...it's just that we don't have any AC and I'm in the drive-thru, which can get pretty toasty at times, and I'm tossing around 35, 40, 50 lb bags of animal feed or salt or whatever, so I tend to get hot...and when I get overheated, I sometimes tend to get lightheaded and potentially pass out, which would be all kinds of fun at work, considering that I'm usually the only one there when I work. Oh well...I'll only have to worry about it for about another month or so, I'm thinking. :)

Interview

I had an interview today for a work study position on campus. I think I'm working in the office where the Graduate students go to get their social work done (maybe) and I'm basically going to be doing paperwork and all that fun stuff. But hey, the job will pay well and they will definately be willing to work around my class schedule. :) I haven't actually been hired yet, and Carla (the lady that interviewed me) told me she still had one more person to interview before she decided, but she kept talking as if I was already hired, so I'm just going to take that as a good sign. My good mood kinda feel a little bit when she told me she'd like to have a reference, but that was mostly because she wants me to give her my current boss's information so she can talk to him...and I'm a little concerned about what he'll tell her. I'm probably worried about nothing, and I'm thinking that putting the corner of the bucket on a Bobcat isn't really going to be relevant in an office situation, I can't help but think that it will somehow be brought into the conversation... but, other than that, I really can't think of anything bad that my boss could say about me. I did tend to slack a little at the beginning, mostly because I didn't know what all I was supposed to be doing, but I think I'm better at finding SOMETHING to do now. :)
So anyways, I will know for sure one way or the other by next Friday. I just have to e-mail Carla the contact information so she can get ahold of my boss, and they can have a little chat (which I'm hoping goes well) and then I will know if I'm hired or not. :)

19

Yesterday was my 19th birthday party and I had a pretty good time, aside from the fact that Jake kinda slept through part of it and was kinda antisocial through the rest. But something did bother me. A few people that I had invited over seemed like they still needed to make the night about themselves. It kinda irritated me at some points of the night because one seemed to be wanting to drag the mood down and the other just wanted to talk about herself, which she does all the time, so I'm used to it. But I was kinda hoping that we would get a little reprieve on my birthday, but I guess that was just a little too much to ask for...
Thanks for the gifts and coming over for cake everyone! It was lots of fun watching Rocky Horror Picture Show again..and having everyone make Gir sleep so that she would keep my ass awake when I was trying to get some sleep! ;p
I have to go to work in about an hour and I really don't want too. After being off for 5 days, I realized how I wish I could be spending my summer...having all the free time and still having enough money to spend. But I can't have the free time because of the money, and I can't have the money without giving up some of my free time. But, I suppose I should go get some food and then make myself get dressed now...stupid work, ruining all my fun! *shrugs* Oh well...it will get better, right?...

Camping

I'm leaving today to go camping with Brittany, Christa, and a few other people. Aside from Brushwood last weekend (which wasn't a whole lot like regular camping...just having to sleep in a tent and maybe cook some food over a propane stove), I haven't been camping in a while, so I'm curious to see how it's gonna go. I'm sure I'll have fun, as long as I remember some bug spray. ;p Well, I suppose it would be time to go finish doing that packing thingy. *stab*

BRUSHWOOD

I went to Brushwood this weekend with Katy, Brittany and Tabby (and Kate's cousin, Brian, was there too). We had lots of fun walking around and checking out all of the vendor's tents and seeing what they had to offer...even though I didn't have too much money to play with because of a certain curse that 3 out of 4 girls experienced during the trip to the camp site....fucking periods!! So, I guess we all had the opportunity to get really close...I mean, most of us were on the same cycle and whatnot. I hate being female because it means that you have to bleed every time you want to do something fun!
So anyways, it was a great experience, and if I go back next year, I will definately remember to bring more money! And just in case you're wondering, yes I did see "Wolf Girl" and we got to see her new husband, "Wolf Guy"...they had their handfasting done at the festival, which is awesome. So yes, all-in-all, the experience was definately a positive one, and I really enjoyed myself. :)

Things are looking up

I would just like to point on that I opperated "heavy machinery" on Monday and I moved 2 big pallets of cat/dog/fish food into the drive-thru and during the moving, I didn't puncture any holes in the products..which is really good for me. :) I did move a pallet by hand and the edge feel on a bag and poked a small hole in it, but none of the stuff feel out and a little tape fixed it up. ;p
I had to fix a couple of holes today, too...but not too many..only 1 that I can think of at the moment, actually.
And, I'm taking care of this adorable little kitten, whom I'm calling "Gir" because it's cute..so don't question it!!! ;p She's kindof an expensive little thing, and I don't even get to keep her...:( I dropped $32 on a doctor's visit yesterday to hopefully get her upper respiratory infection all cleared up..and hopefully the shot and the antibiotics work. *crosses fingers*

Why do I suck at life?!?!

Well, I was scheduled to work today all by myself, which is weird lately for a Saturday, but whatever. I figured I would be really busy, but I could handle it and the time would fly by and before I knew it, it would be time to go home. Sounds like a plan, right? WRONG! Little did I know this morning, but before my 4-hour shift was over today, I was going to cause several $100s worth of damage by hitting a truck window with the bucket on our Bobcat. I honestly feel now that no matter how hard I try, I'm going to fuck something up...and, at least at work, it's not always little, insignficant stuff...no...it's truck windows and selling some products for half the price that they really are. And, luckily for me, I get to pay for all of these mistakes. Well, there goes my whole entire reasoning for having a summer job...you know, the whole "saving up money for the upcoming school year" thing...or at least enough so that I can go all the places that I wanted to this summer. It looks like I'm going to be cutting back on some stuff...yay... I'm just glad that I got to see Pirates 2 last night before this major F-UP...if I hadn't, there's no way I would have been able to afford it after this! It's at times like these when I really hate life...not really enough to want to die, but enough to want to crawl under a rock and stay there for at least a decade. *stab*

Next weekend

I'm going to Brushwood in New York with some friends next weekend. It's this Pagan festival where they have big fires and drummings and vendors and such. It sounds like it's going to be really cool. The only thing is..it's camping. But hopefully it's good, and I'm sure it will be. And the following weekend, I get to camp for 5 days...so hopefully I like camping. I'm not really sure if I do because I don't really remember my last camping experience.
Anyways, I've got those two camping trips coming up and I've only got 3 days in between the trips, which means I've only got 3 days I can work the week of the 16th. So, that paycheck is gonna suck ass! But hopefully I will have money to take along with me. :)

Fireworks!!!!

I would just like to point out that the fireworks for the St. Joe 4th of July Festival were actually on time this year...I don't think that's ever happened before! So anyways, the fireworks started promptly at 11:00, which is when they were scheduled to begin, and they lasted about 20 minutes, which is normal for the fireworks show. They were so pretty and shiny! And I think that Britt wants to have a pet firework...just a fun little image there to put in your head. It's quite amusing. But, I don't know if it's quite as amusing as this commercial I saw yesterday. I'm not sure what it was for, but they asked "What's funnier? A mime pretending to be trapped in a glass box, or a mime actually being trapped in a glass box?" And when they put the mime in the actual box on the screen, I couldn't help but giggle, probably a little sadistically, but not too bad. Obviously it was bad cuz Jake said I was "sick"...but it's not like he could keep a straight face when he thought about it. So anyways, even though I'm not sure what the commercial was for, I would have to say that it's the best one I've seen in a very long time. :)


"I like it when they sizzle!" :)

Yay

I got my camera in the other day. It's really tiny, which surprised me. I haven't really gotten to use it yet, but I did take some random pictures of my cat yesterday, which was pretty fun because I could actually see what they looked like right after I took them, and the just delete them if they were really bad or whatever. It was lots of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to actually use it sometime soon...hopefully. :)

Camera

I'm excited because my new digital camera is on it's way...and hopefully there won't be any problems and it will arrive all not broken and stuff. Because I ordered it online, I ended up spending about $10 more than I would have if I'd gotten it from the store, but I really don't care because it's on its way to me, and I'll be able to use it just the same as one from the store. :)

Wednesday

So, a bunch of us are getting together on Wednesday and going to hang out at the outdoor pool, if anyone is interested in joining us. I'm not sure exactly how fun it's gonna be because you can never predict the weather that far in advance, and you can't predict how many munchkins are going to be in the pool that day, but we'll see. So anyways, if you're interested, come join us! :)

Movies and Halo :)

The last couple of days I've spent hanging with friends; we watched movies and played Halo afterwards. It was lots of fun..especially when we were put in that small room with just the rocket launchers..that was great! I didn't suck like I normally do when we were playing that. :) On Saturday, we watched "The Pink Panther"...it was ok, but Steve Martin's character was painfully stupid, and the movie took a painfully long time to get to the point. It was a decent movie, but I don't know that I'd watch it again. And yesterday, we watched Ghostbusters 1 & 2, which are awesome! That was lots of fun. And we'll have to do that again sometime...while Britt's got the house basically to herself, because I know her mom would never let that happen while she's there...too many people. And I don't really know many parents who could stand to have us play Halo at there house, because we get loud. And Katy gave poor Alex a seizure...actually it was more like 3 in a row, but who's counting, besides poor Alex..?

...

The poor baby bunny didn't make it through the night. I woke up at about 3 am to check on him and he was dead. My mom said that someone told her that wild bunnies rarely make it when they're away from their mommies, and that it has something to do with their hearts. I don't really understand it, but I'm sure it makes sense if you have all of the information. I hate that I failed to keep him alive for just one night, just one. I was going to take him to the Humaine Society after work (at about 11, when I got off) and find the lady with the lactating mommy bunny, and he was going to (hopefully) be ok and live...but not now. I just wish I would have been able to keep him alive...I just hope that the other baby bunny is doing ok. At least that would mean that I had one success, even though all I really did was call my mom and she basically took care of it, going to the Humaine Society and finding the lady with the mommy bunny and all that. I just can't help but feel like I could have/should have done something more than I did, and the bunny would still be alive right now.

Playing Mommy

So, I get to play Mommy today..for a baby bunny. Depot, the cat that lives at the place where I work brought another baby bunny to the store today. This is the second one in two days, and they've both been alive, which is weird for her because she usually likes to eat the bunnies (from what I hear..never experienced it, thank God!!!) The one she brought yesterday my mom took to the Humaine Society and there was a lady there who just happened to have a lactating mother bunny, so she was gonna introduce the baby into that litter. We could have done the same thing for the one she brought today, only I had to work until 6, and the Humaine Society definately closes before that...so I get to play "Mommy" and keep the bunny alive until tomorrow so I can hopefully get ahold of the lady and get her to take this bunny, too. So, I don't know how much sleep I'm going to be getting tonight...hopefully I'm not too cranky tomorrow, but I only work a 3-hour shift, so it should be ok.

Storm

So, Brittany and I were at Arby's feeding our faces after going swimming, and the sky got all dark and grey and the wind was throwing everything around. She and I were wondering if the hanging plant in front of Pizza Hut was gonna be able to hold on or if it would get taken away, too. It's just crazy how the weather can be all warm and humid one minute and the next, everything's being swept past you by the intense wind. But, I guess that is weather for you (I would say that it's "Ohio weather," but we had some unpredictable stuff in Florida, too). I just hope that it all clears up by 5 so that I can get to Christa's birthday party without dying or getting soaked.

Party

I went to Sarah's graduation party today, which was awesome and I think everyone had lots and lots of fun..but it made me realize something. It made me realize how much I want a digital camera. I mean, practically everyone there had a digital camera with them and I have been wanting one for a while but I can't really afford the almost $200 it would cost to get the one that I want. So, now I'm pretty much gonna start saving up for that and kinda put some of the other stuff on hold..at least for a couple of weeks I think. I really want that camera! The reason it's gonna cost so much is that I want the little dockable printer that it comes with so I can print off some decent pictures and such, which will be awesome. I'm sure the paper is really expensive, but oh well...I can handle it I think. At least until school starts up again. ;p

DOOM!!!

I just have to say that Invader Zim is one of the best cartoons to ever be made and I can't believe it's not on anymore. I'll have to go out and buy it...precious. Zim is dumb and he comes up with all of these stupid plans, but that's why it's amusing. And Gir is so cute!!! I want one! Me, Britt, Jess watched about half of the 27 first episodes yesterday..and they were fantastic, of course. I just love it!! *heart*

...work

I didn't think that my job was going to be extremely difficult, and it's not, but I really hate when I have to stand around for 4ish hours with nothing to do. It makes the time drag by and it seems like I've wasted about half of my live waiting for 6 o'clock to roll around. Today was one of those days. I was running the drive-thru all by myself, which isn't bad on a slow day, but today was really slow. We close at 6, and I don't think we had a customer come in after about 5 today. That really sucks for me because I have nothing to do. I get to pace around the store and maybe find something that needs put away or straightened up, but probably not. I was thinking about going swimming today, but by 6, I was too tired and too hungry, and my car is being dumb again (possibly) and I really don't want to over use it until I find out if something is f-ed up and needs fixed.

Fall

I went in to see my advisor today and I had already scheduled myself for Math 105 (some sort of course to help you teach math, I guess) but I was having problems finding a couple other classes that wouldn't kill me to take. Originally I was looking at Biology 101 and History 152 to take with my math, but I decided that would be too much work and I wanted an easier schedule if it could be helped. So, I end up scheduling Geology 100 (which also has a separate lab) and some sort of Communications class. So, I'm going to be there every single day in the fall...*stab* Maybe Geology will be easy since I've already taken Geology H110...? But, probably not.

End Results

I finally got all of my grades in today. I had an A in Classics (big surprise there...not really), a B in English (which is kinda bad for me cuz I'm used to getting A's, but I'm really just glad I survived this course), and (the grade that I was waiting on) a B+ in Geology. I'm so excited that I did so well, because I thought for sure I would have at least a C in Geology because of the crap job I did on the fossil project, but I guess not. Having 2 B's kinda brought my average GPA down a bit, but hopefully that'll be taken care of Fall Quarter. I'm just happy that it's summer and I passed!!!

The End

So, Tuesday I took my finals for all of my classes, and I made it through the day without dying (3 tests in a row is not fun). My Geology professor told us that our grades would be in by Thursday, but guess what, it's Friday, and they're still not posted. I was so excited because my Classics final (my last one) only took about 5 minutes to complete (I spent about another 2 looking over my answers) and I think I got a 100% on it, because the tests in that class are so f-ing easy it's not even funny! So, I know I have an A in that class because it's the only one that's been posted so far. I'm a little nervous about Geology and English...I hope I didn't fail them! So, I get to sit here and wait for my grades, which will hopefully come in this weekend, and pray that they don't suck...yay for me. I need to find some stuff to distract myself with.
