the funny faces on cam are due to the broadway channel being broadcasted through my earphones...since i can't really sing at work, that's about as close as i can get :)...i have gotten a couple of emails regarding men and gorgeous women. alistair commented that he has noticed when not so attractive men start receiving a lot of money, suddenly he is dating a lot of attractive ladies. ok, that is one excuse for girls. but those weren't the relationships i was referring to. yes, money can make a man more attractive sometimes, but i was referring to the really nice, slightly poorer, unattractive men that catch pretty ladies. you still see much more of those than vice versa. care to explain that one? :)

i am so tired, i could die. i think if i sit here long enough, i will actually fall asleep at my computer. work would not be happy with me. tonight, dave, nick, and maybe creed and vince are gonna go out. laura works til ten, but hopefully she'll be able to meet us there...although if nick is going i doubt she will try...over the past week or so, i have started to wonder about a friend of mine's interests...i'll call him pedro for now. keeping names anonymous helps when i need to vent about them. yes, it's another boy. as if jc wasn't enough. i actually don't think pedro is interested...he's another one of you boys that is hard to read. corinne and i were discussing the fact that fairly often you see a not so good looking guy with a beautiful woman. but i have NEVER seen a gorgeous guy with a not so good looking girl. why is that? are there just more good looking girls out there than guys? or are guys more shallow than girls, as they can't get past looks to date? i have dated guys who became more attractive to me as i got to know them, but i don't think any of the guys i have dated in the past have been super studs. i don't get it. in my opinion, i think pedro is looking for the gorgeous girl...despite how much he likes spending time with the less attractive. in his case, i think it might be his shallowness that won't let him get past looks to see inner beauty. now, i don't expect guys to just completely disregard looks all together. you have to be physically attracted to each other...maybe it takes more for guys to be physically attracted. who knows. i'm not a guy. so guys, email me and defend your gender. :)

i am never fixing someone's computer, other than my own or my family's again. it is so frustrating, i wanted to throw the whole thing out the window. i even took it upstairs to nick's place, and then we spent the next couple of hours still trying to fix it. no go. so now i have to make another trip to the computer store to get a couple of different parts to find the problem. meanwhile, i never hear the end of it about when it is going to be finished. like it's my fault. so that's it. no more. if people need something fixed, they can pay the $50/hour to have someone else do it...no more free fixes for me. sorry laura. that wasn't really directed toward you. i am just frustrated with your computer. not to mention i am running on 4 1/2 hours of sleep. bleh. you'll see a lot of yawns today. kudos to those of you that fix computers for a living...you have my respect :)

and the work week begins. i posted a printer on ebay. item 1241737341 for $400 starting. not too bad for this printer..it is supposedly really nice, but my dad couldn't get it to work with windows me, so we never got to see what it could do. as the graceful person that i am, i fell down the stairs on saturday at my house. not the full flight, but just the three wooden steps at the top...wet rubber shoes and running do not mix. so now i have a huge bruise on my butt and arm from where i landed. nice. there will be no pictures of those! here is some crazy news...i am the featured cam on camville! check it out! that makes me pretty happy. at least for a week it will make it appear that people actually visit this site. i thought about starting another poll on here. just something silly. i have had a couple in the past...what to put on the opening page, who would win the superbowl, etc. i'll think of something fun, but i don't want to rip off everyone else and their brother that have a poll on their webcam. ah well, back to work...at least you get to see my mug all day today...be warned, it's humid outside and my hair might be goin a little crazy...

if you haven't visited this, and you liked 'survivor'...hell, even if you didn't like survivor, you should check this site out. it is survivorcam...where they picked 16 people with webcams, and they copy the 'survivor' format...but with webcams. it is highly entertaining. i'm addicted, and i didn't even like 'survivor'. the prize is money donated by whoever wants to donate, and so far it is up to $300 dollars. just for putting up fun pictures with your webcam. crazy. i am rooting for jansson to win. he's a hottie. :)

ok cheeser, who are you? you left a message on my phone asking me how i did it...i assume you were referring to the fact that people can send me messages on my phone via the form on the web. it's easy. if you can accept text messages on your phone, as nextel's can, you set up a form that emails the message to yourphonenumber@page.nextel.com. and voila! instant communication :) i got your message, but you didn't tell me how to get back in touch with you. so there ya go. and thanks to lindsay for the email...it was sweet! obviously, your site rocks, and everyone must visit it! :)

i got a bed!! it's a full size bedframe, but it is expandable to a queen size if i ever want a bigger bed :) it's really pretty...a lighter pine wood...but nice and sturdy...i also got a tall dresser and a nightstand to match...i have a year to pay it off...i can't wait to use it! :) plus i got a deal on mattresses and boxsprings at sam's club...it rocks. so much for going to the electronic music festival. it is freezing outside. plus it is raining. yeah, i really want to walk around downtown detroit wet and cold. no thanks. so mary and i are gonna hang out instead. woohoo! i can't wait. i haven't seen her in forever! but for now, i am helping my sister with her site. she also wants a new design, and i am always so much more motivated to do other people's sites than my own. :) i still have to go fix bryan's welding site too. *sigh* i should start my own freelance stuff on the side. anyway, i will be in westland til tomorrow, and then back to lansing i go. this break was too short. i need more vacation!!! ah well, i'll take what i can get!

man i miss bein a kid. things like this, when my dad used to put us up on the counter to watch the popcorn pop, used to amaze me. and those yellow footie pj's were my favorite. :) well, i am too tired to try a new layout...plus i am not feeling very creative. i actually got to talk with mary tonight...she is living in redford for the summer, but next semester is moving back into the co-op to finish school at u of m. woohoo! i think everyone knows i'll be here in good ole east lansing for a while...until i finally move to chicago! i don't mind...laura will be here til december, then she moves back home and is going to work at little tots...but my sister will be here for a couple more years at MSU! :) yay! plus i am living with jackie next year, so everything should be coo'. :) alright, off to sleep i go...my eyes actually hurt.

ahhhh...memorial day weekend is finally here...just got back from creed's place...after being at the bar for a little bit after our half day at work, dave brought over the movie "requiem of a dream" REQUEEM! heheh...that's how dave thought it was pronounced (it's reh' kwee em for all of you that didn't know)...and we all watched it...that movie is messed up. definately depressing. i mean, it was good. especially if you have seen PI and liked it...i know i did...but it makes you sad. but if you are in the mood to be sad...watch this movie :) after a woodchuck, creed announced he was leaving for saginaw til sunday, and dave left to go to sault ste marie...his crazy ass hometown...tomorrow i get to go to detroit to my parents house...sunday is the electronic music festival in detroit...if it's not raining, i think i am gonna go...should be fun :) and monday i get to go bed shopping!! woohoo! :) i am gonna get a new full size bed...as opposed to the twin i have had since i was four :) i can't wait! but i won't be able to use it til i move into my new apartment in august...but shopping is still fun. tonight, since everyone left town, i think i am gonna actually put some time and thought into sprucing up the site. we'll see how much i actually get done :)

jackie asked if i think jc reads this. ya know...i wonder. i honestly doubt he really does...cause that's just not his style or personality to read crap like this...but i think it would be funny if he did. i wish he had something like this. it would help explain what the hell he was thinking about all the time. do you ever just watch people? like study their faces? facial expressions are amazing to me. you can tell so much about what a person is feeling inside. and they are universal. a smile...a frown...a raise of the eyebrows...some expressions are cultural...but reactions are the same. it intrigues me even more to watch people mask their emotions...i try to see the welled up feelings behind their front...recently when jc and i have hung out...i feel like i'm not wanted. like he doesn't know how to tell me to leave. yet he's the one that asked me over/out. i don't get it. maybe i am just reading into him too much...he might just really be worn out...it still sucks either way.

saw a knight's tale tonight. it was good...not really good...but good. it's only been a little over a month and i am already tired of my site. might have to add a little flash into it. want to make it more to look at. right now, it's just a bunch of tables. bleh. i can do better. plus i have more stuff to add...we'll see how it goes...if i can find some free time soon...it will go to that...school has me goin nuts...today is MARY STOCK'S BIRTHDAY!!! if she ever reads this, i hope she writes me cause i don't know where the girl is. in november, it was portugal...but last i heard she was in ann arbor...hmmm...WHERE ARE YOU MARYMUSE?? :) and colleen...hmmm...no word from her either. just cause you're getting married don't think i haven't forgotten you :) ok...i'm tired and bitter...today was not a good day...tomorrow must be better...

yeah, i got paid on friday and i'm already broke. how is this possible you say? well, i have a ton of unpaid bills from last month...plus credit card payments, plus a trip to chicago, plus food = i am broke. so i wound up going to the check 'n go place and getting out what little money they could offer me. hey, at least now my checks aren't going to bounce. it was enough to last me til my next paycheck, which should be almost double what the last one was. woohoo! since this month's bills are paid off, next paycheck i can actually start saving some :) work was fun today...dave and i goofed off a little bit, but i actually got a lot done, so it was ok. we figured out that now anyone with a nextel can use the two way paging, even if they are not on your network. so now i can page nick...exciting, i know. alright, time to help keith settle into the apartment! woohoo! new roommate! marc leaves this friday...i hope you have fun in colorado, marc! he promised to send pictures of him in a forest ranger outfit...man i can't wait for that :) only two and a half months left to live in the good ole oaks apartment. then i get to get a bigger bed!!!!!! i will actually have room to move in my sleep...ooo baby!

this weekend was really fun. friday night i wound up going to a party with laura and keith...the keg was killians! it was great! then last night we went to a progressive party down by my work in lansing...the drinks were good, but since it was corinne's birthday, we didn't stay too long..we went to bw3's instead and had a blast. :) i hope she had a fun 22nd birthday :) jackie is supposed to stop by tonight...it's also colleen sweeney's 23rd birthday today..HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEEN! pretty soon i won't be able to call her that...well, i'll always call her that, but in july she'll be mrs. woj. crazy. anyway, time to go shower. bailey still isn't home...he is still undercover at corinne's place until they fix all the stuff they said they were going to. :( i miss my kitty!

i like hugs. especially warm ones...and when you fit nice and snug against the other person...feeling someone wrap their arms around you...enveloping you...it just feels nice. :) i need more hugs like that. not the 'hi how are you' hugs...and not the 'bye i'll miss you'...but the kind that are comforting...the ones that make you feel safe and content...i could live in moments like that forever. i need more hugs.

at work and tired. about to go home to a nice bed. but still have homework to do. i'll put it off til tomorrow as usual. classes are still easy enough to do that and still do well :) we'll see how long that lasts. had a talk with dave today about jc. he told me that guys generally don't want relationships because they are too much work. if they are in a relationship, they can't go out with their friends whenever they want, etc. it is too much work basically. so if i am letting jc get away with this, basically it's my fault. i don't think i ever doubted that. but he also said that if it was meant to be, down the line he may eventually realize that he can't have as much fun with others than he can with me, and then realize that i'm the one. i don't know if i want to be 'the one'. i just want to know if he just does this with me, or if there are five other girls that are waiting for him too...argh. so nothing new, it still sucks.

i need money. it is only two days until i get my first full time paycheck...but until then i am broker than broke! i even tried to go to those check n go places where they hold your check til payday...but they need a copy of your last paystub...and my last paystub only has my hourly pay on it, not how much i'll be getting this week...not even close...so they wouldn't do it :( it looks like soup and ramen until friday...or thursday night since creed is taking me out to dinner...mmm... food :) bailey has been temporarily relocated. our landlord is coming around to check our smoke detectors, so corinne is watching him for the next couple of days...he is loving it over there... i don't think he will want to come home! i miss his fur face and was sad when no one woke me up this morning...but friday he comes back...yay...

my prof rules. :) i was going to have a problem with one of my classes overlapping the other, but after going to class yesterday, my prof told me i didn't need to come to class! how cool is that? i've never had a prof tell me that since i was a good student, i could jus t do the reading on my own and get the work from him. :) definately cool. so now i don't have to miss the other one at the same time! woohoo! my other tc class is being taught by a grad student..and he wants to make the class fun for the summer...so that's an easy A...this last semester is gonna be great :) school is good...work is good...awww yeah :)

my opinion of opinions: the only ones that count are your own. why do guys like spunky gals? i am who i am. i'm not super sassy. i like making people happy, even if sometimes it is at my expense. i don't always stand up for myself. i am a pushover. but not always. i like being by myself. but not always. i am moody. no one knows everything about me. a lot of people think they do. i am older than i look. i like hanging out with people older than myself. they always have good advice. i hate being judged by people who don't know me. but who does? i like rambling. i am sorry for making you read this. but i'm not making you. so thanks for reading. i use too many smilies. i say 'i love you' too often. i hate arguing with people. i don't like confrontations, but i don't like when people have problems and don't tell you. i hate snide remarks. i tolerate a lot of shit from people. i find faults in everyone, but not more than i find in myself. my cat makes me happy. i am out of shape. i get along with my parents very well. i'm tired. i'm going to bed.

man it's about time blogger posted my stuff. but it's free...what do you expect? until i get off my lazy butt and make a program to do it myself, i can't complain about it going down. this working full time business is tiresome. i am already beat and it's not even 6 yet. but i came in at 8am this morning...and hour earlier than usual. one of my profs is letting me skip his class and work on my own! woohoo! that means i won't have to miss the other class that is scheduled at the same time...graduation, here i come! :) ok, time to get back to work...i have to stay for at least another hour to get in the full 8 hours today...*sigh*...how am i gonna make it??

getting ready for bed, but i wanted to give an update on how the weekend went. blue man group was amazing as expected. i will never get tired of seeing them. i think i will have to drag all my friends and family eventually. the situation with jc and i is the same. this whole weekend was definately NOT a pretend we are dating one. other than sharing a room, we were just good friends having a really good time together. and we did have a really good time. but i always hope for more, so it is a little disappointing when it doesn't happen. but oh well. i still love chicago more and more each time i visit it. i think creed and i were gonna go apartment hunting (not to live together) to find ourselves a place down there. someday. ok, time for bed. classes start tomorrow and i have to be at work at 8am. *sigh* someday classes will be over. someday.

fridays rule! get out of work early...and then get to party all night! although i think tonight will primarily be laundry night...i have to wash clothes to wear this weekend! blue man is tomorrow night...i can't wait! i saw them two years ago and LOVED it...if you ever have the chance to see their show...go and see it...it's amazing...so now i am on a bunch of cam portals...someday i will list them...but usually, if i am on your portal, you're on mine...twoinchesfully asked me how old i was...it didn't even dawn on me that i might look too young...relax people...though i may look young...believe it or not i am really 22...22 and a half actually...so yeah, it's still young..but not as young as i look...it might also be my site...the flowers make it super girlie...i might have to add some sophistication to the design...hmmm...oh well...i start classes monday...then the hell begins...three classes...in two months...plus working full time...yeah..i'm great at scheduling myself for too much crap...but it's actually not as bad as i am making it sound...wish me luck anyway..

my buddy bailey. playful and sassy, yet adorable and lovable. what would i do without him. well for one thing, i would have to kill my own spiders! :) for that, i am eternally grateful to him...as he might know by now after giving him a million treats :) rescuing him from the humane society has been the best decision i have made in a long time...at the moment, he is hunting shadows on the wall...i'm sure he'll be back in a moment to drape across my lap as usual...
and then there was the hairstyle. i made it up. take four sections of hair, twist tightly, and bobby pin it to death. yeah, i'm not that creative, but it looked cool this morning :) dave appreciated it...or at least he was pretending to. thanks dave. back to the photo album i go. i need to add more pictures...i have none from spring break up there (the infamous trip to cancun)...but that's because i haven't even seen them yet. definately should have brought the digital camera down there...i finalized our reservations for chicago today...we are staying at the chicago city suites...it's pretty expensive, but hopefully it will be worth it...i don't usually stay in super expensive hotels...but everything i called was booked...so it'll have to do...what else am i saving my hard earned money for? :)

work is fun...but i am stumped. if you know flash and actionscripting at all...i need your help! check out the site i am working on. here's the problem: when you mute the sound with the button (after skipping the intro) it only mutes the sound in that frame. the other sounds are still audible. is there a way to control sound across movies or frames? i have no clue. i have been trying to find an answer all day...and nothing. i don't want this day to have been a waste! meanwhile, i have been thoroughly enjoying the rally's i got for lunch...mmm...all this food for so little....yum! plus a GIANT pop...at least i know i won't be falling asleep at work! :)

i have tried to update the photo albums to match the new layout...but i am always so tired at the end of the day...it will just have to take longer than i planned...oh well...i need to get to bed soon if i don't want to be dragging at work tomorrow...i have stayed up way too late the past couple of nights...but work is going good...so far i like the full time atmosphere :) but enough about work. i am excited about chicago this weekend, but a little nervous about who i am spending it with. i think we are a little more than friends...but not quite dating. it doesn't bother me as much as it should...i like the kid. he's funny...and kinda quirky...definately sassy...and i like that. he likes movies way more than i do...but i was trying to pinpoint tonight what about him intrigues me. my friends think i'm nuts for liking him...but i like him all the same. he knows it. and he knows that if he was ready, we'd be dating already. but why him? i could name off the usual stuff that drives girls crazy...his smile...how sweet he is...etc...but that's not what really draws me to him....i can't really explain it...he just has this charisma...i could just watch him for hours...*sigh*...boys...can't get enough of em...

what the hell am i doing awake? honestly, i can't tell you. it's one of those nights where i have the place to myself...and i have the hardest time going to sleep when i'm alone...it should be interesting when i start living on my own...maybe i will gets lots of cats :) bailey already kills bugs and spiders for me...he even eats them so i don't have to get rid of them...now that's a cat. i'm trying to blend both of my sites together...but photoshop keeps crashing on me...even after i restarted...so it's slow going. but that just tires me out so i guess it will help me get to bed soon. i have to rest up for tomorrow...if i don't get most of my work done, i will feel like such a slacker! and that's not the impression i want to leave. check this out. i'm actually linked on someone's site. groovy.

i was just getting ready to go running on the treadmill...as part of my let's get in shape summer...when i started thinking about romance...and how much it was missing from my life. i think most girls would agree with me that we all need romance...guys, there is a reason they call them romance novels...and a reason why so many women read them...we like it! really! i have never heard a single woman complain when a guy does something romantic. EVER. is it really that hard? just a single flower...or some candles...a sweet thought...or even when you dress up nice just for us...you don't have to go overboard...but if you like a girl...SHOW US...we really can't read your mind...and if you think we are getting your subtle hints...trust me, we aren't. ok, i can't speak for all girls but i know i definately cannot tell. so go out of your way for the girl you like...a little goes a loooong way...now if only the men in my life could realize that...*sigh* a certain someone is lacking severely in that department. do guys like romance? should i be the one making the moves here? i wonder...

today starts my first full day of work! i'm a full timer now...woohoo! graduation was great...vince and i did a little dance at the end of the stage...it was a riot...then we went out to eat...jc included...that went well :) andrew was pretty funny too :) we leave this saturday to go see the blue man group again...i can't wait. chicago is one of my favorite places of all time...someday i am going to live there, i know it :) it's not a huge goal, so i figure it could happen. nothing else too exciting is going on...keith moves in soon to our apartment...that should make things interesting...laura is going camping for the next couple of days...so i will have the apartment to myself! marc hasn't slept there in ages, but i don't know why...oh well...bailey and i can handle a big place on our own :)

whew. the house is spotless. :) i feel so much better when everything is clean. it has been months and months since this whole apartment got thoroughly cleaned. i'm talking scrubbing floors, vacuuming, dusting, straightening...everything. now i am wiped out. vince is having a party tonight...that should be pretty fun. i don't know if i will stay for very long, but i don't have a whole lot else to do...jc might call later...but i spent last night over there, so i don't know if it is a good idea to do it again. not to mention my family will be here tomorrow morning, so it would just be better if i slept in my own bed :) alright, time to relax and watch some tv...does anyone have $80 i can borrow? i need to pay my rent, and i don't get paid for another two weeks...and this last check just wasn't enough to cover it...*sigh* two more weeks and then i'll have my full time paycheck...then i'll be rollin in the dough! :) yeeha..

with finals done, and a semester behind me, it is now time to clean out the house! i have been way to busy recently to clean...and it shows...watch out apartment...my parents and my sister are coming up tomorrow to watch me graduate...woohoo! jc is going...isn't that crazy? so much for not dating...i swear, i don't get it. i was telling corinne last night at bw3's that i think i like to start trouble. it's true. :) after much prodding from a certain someone, i asked him to go. but he made a big deal about not wanting to meet my parents...is this guy code for "hi, i only want to mess around, and not really be serious"? i mean, i know he doesn't want anything serious..but then he has put me in the same position with his family..meeting his sister and her fiance...i think she thinks we are dating. it's odd. and i almost went out to lunch with his whole family. weird. if you don't want anything serious...then don't pretend like you do! argh...i am retarded for putting up with his crap. but hey, i think all you lonely people out there understand that some is better than none. even when it gets frustrating. alright, mp3's are playing, and the house is yelling for me..."clean me carrie! help!" :) well, i have to answer!

time for a break. about three more hours til my final, and i still don't feel ready. but i just got a pepsi and woke andrew up so that he can study some more too...an hour of sleep should be plenty, right? :) browsing the websites, chelle cam just redid hers. i definately like the new blues better. mindy said she'd add me to her portal. so far it's not there. slowly but surely people are coming :) time to start adding more stuff to the site. i have a bunch of ideas...so we'll see what i wind up having time for. ok, off to study i go...my last final is only hours away!!!

yumm...just went out to lunch for work...apparently jerry from work is leaving...that would make person number six on our small team to leave in the past couple months...not too good..people are starting to get worried. but i think we will be ok. i have confidence in our small little company :) tomorrow is gonna be a big party day...not only are classes done, but corinne also graduates, as do vince and myself...so watch out! cinco de mayo is saturday...obviously...don't have any plans yet...i can't do too much stuff...i graduate on sunday! :) oh, and thanks to mindy for adding me to her portal...since i have added my site to a bunch of the top cam sites, a lot more people have been coming...i'm glad! this cam has turned from a silly contest entry, into something i am proud of :) aww yeah :)

man i am tired. after sleeping for only three hours, i am ready to just collapse. i think i am almost done messing with this site for now. i just want to add cooler graphics...the title bar just sucks. so maybe i will play around with some images tonight...not like i have a thermo final to be studying for or anything. but that final is not until friday, so i still have some time to procrastinate :) looking at other people's sites just inspires me to make mine all the more better. i feel like i never have time to show what i can really do with a site. so people just see bits and pieces. someday i will have something up that i am really proud of. anyway...i heard from colleen! i was so excited that i had to write her back immediately. she and woj are in florida living the coupled life...they will officially be married in july...so i know that's got to be hell planning for when you are in another state. i want to visit her sometime this summer...apparently their place is pretty cute. ah...to be graduated and on your own...someday...

the paper is done, the paper is done, god almighty the paper is done. and that nap felt good. now i am clean, rested, and about to go hit the books AGAIN for thermo. oh friday, where art thou?
| posted at 8:05 PM ~ comments (0) |
one final down, one paper and one final to go. the paper is due by 5pm, so after work, i will only have that last final on friday to worry about. how did i do on today's final? yeah, let's just hope i don't fail the class. i am in serious jeopardy of doing that. why? because i am not a good student. i don't like school at all. and for some reason, i just don't have the work ethic to get the stuff done that would help me pass. like homework. *sigh* no excuses. one more semester, and i hope to god i graduate. i can't take another class ever again. right now i am also running on an hour's sleep. my head hurts. i need caffine. help.

i want to sleep. never before has my bed appeared to me so comfy. but my two papers that never seem to want to end and my 10am final have me maybe pulling an all-nighter. my body can't take it like it used to. so does anyone want to explain to me why nortel is doing seemingly better than lucent right now? yeah, i couldn't tell ya either. how about what do you think the future of lucent is? *sigh* then there is the final exam about material science...can you calculate the stress of a material, or the yield strength? that makes two of us. cramming never works. but i thought i had given myself enough time to prepare for the exam. i thought wrong. so here i am adding to the blogger when i should be studying. i had to take a break before my brain had a melt down. engineering sounds cool. but when you can't do the physics, it's not as cool as you would think. if you thought it was cool at all. i know my roommates think i'm nuts. everyone pray that i do good tomorrow on my finals. i will need all the help i can get. the next blog you will get from me will be a report on how much i think i failed by. if i fail, i'm in serious SERIOUS trouble. no degree for me, that's for sure. i'm on thin ice as it is! so here's a positive thought...i will do excellent on my finals, and pass all of my classes for the first semester in over a year. YAY ME!

wow. i just had to spend 45 minutes running around lansing, the engineering building, and the telecomm building. all for one class. i have been trying to graduate this summer, but to do so is turning out to be really stressful. i think the secretary to the dean of engineering hates me. i keep confusing her with what i need overrides for and what i don't. but after the summer, hopefully i will never have to see her again :) my advisor keeps stressing that i CANNOT fail anymore classes. like i failed the first ones on purpose. but i understand why he feels he had to stress that to me. my gpa sucks. but when you hate your program, your motivation to do well in classes just gets sucked right out of you. excuses excuses. i am full of them. but one more week, and a semester to go. ugh.

so i'm not happy now. i went up to papiano's pizza to give laura a tape, and on my way home i got pulled over. this is the second time in the past month that i have gotten pulled over. luckily, both times i didn't get a ticket, but i gave the cop the wrong insurance and the one he had was expired. so i got a ticket for that. but all i have to do is show a cop my valid insurance in ten days, and they will only charge me $25 instead of $125. how nice. what a way to ruin my day. back to my crappy papers i go :(

hell yeah bizatch! i fixed the problem! can you tell i don't want to write my papers? i find that the most updates to my sites come when i actually have stuff that i should be doing elsewhere. procrastination rules. it stimulates the mind to get it done as fast as possible. i don't consider my time wasted. five more days and i will still be glad i updated this site. unless i fail my exam. then i probably will wish that i had studied more. oh well. go figure. for the moment, i am a happy girl. hear me? happy!
