Change of Plans

I had originally intended this post to be all happy and wonderful. It was going to be about how excited I was that Christmas is almost here. How Aaron Rodgers better get better so he can play not only this week, but also the week after that when I get to go to the game. How stressful, yet exciting it is that the semester is almost over and how I can't wait to be done with these last two papers/finals. Yeah.............that ain't happening any more.

I was sitting at home working on one of my papers when it all came down. I was taking a short break from my paper and was checking something else on the computer. Apparently that makes me lazy and stupid. I am not allowed to have even a few minutes to relax because I haven't done anything to deserve it. Apparently I haven't actually done anything worth while in my life because I am a disappointment. Way to make a person feel great, tell them that they are no better than junk. Yeah!

Making Santa's Snack...

I'm possibly going to be baking a ton of Christmas cookies on Friday. Don't know who for, just know I'm getting together with a friend to bake like crazy. When we were on the phone planning this, what I'm guessing will end up being crazy, debacle we neglected to discuss one thing.............what kind of cookies should we make?

Any suggestions? I'm not into baking really complicated cookies, I'd rather make something simple, fun, delicious, and possibly easy to decorate.......

Comments are, once again, greatly appreciated........just more then two words this time please?

16 Days till Christmas!!!!

18 Days till the Packer Game !!!!!!!!!!

Sleep is a very good thing.....

I will be so happy when my classes are finally over for the semester. Only about a week and a half left and then I will be on vacation until the end of January! With all the stress of end of the semester papers and projects I have been sleeping like crap lately. I've been lucky to get about three or four hours of sleep a night. Sucky! Last night was great though, I must have gotten at least six hours of sleep! It felt great to wake up this morning and actually feel rested instead of tired!

19 days until Christmas!
20 days until the Packers game!!!!!!!!!!! (cuz clearly the Packers are better than Christmas)

Snow!!!!

I had to get up at ungodly early hour this morning to take my little sister to school. This normally makes me quite cranky and irritable, well more then I already am in the morning, but today was quite different. I normally would be groaning and mumbling all the way to her high school and back again, but I had a lovely surprise this morning....SNOW!

It was not a lot of snow and looking at the ground you really wouldn't be able to tell that it was there. But looking at the air and seeing snow fall just made me smile and happy inside. I know that sounds silly, but I swear I become a small child around Christmas time and snow is one of the major things that is needed for Christmas.

Plus snow on the first day of December?! YEAH!

23 more days until Christmas EVE!!!

Comments anyone? It's been ages.....

I Laughed, I Cried...Harry Potter was AMAZING!!!

I just about had one of the best nights of my life last night because as you all know, unless you are stupid and have been hiding under a rock for the past few months, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 came out last night at midnight!!!

As usual, I went to see the movie at 12:01 with my little sister, her friend, and one of my friends and we had such a good time! Any time becomes a great time if Harry Potter is involved.

The theater changed up how they did midnight movies and reserved every seat in the theater and not just certain sections. At first I thought that was really weird, but then realized how good a thing this was. I now did not have to fear being trampled by the truly crazy Potter fans that will take you down to get the seat that they want in the theater.

Because all the seats were reserved though, there was hardly no people waiting in line before the movie started. A good part of the fun of midnight Harry Potter movies was waiting in line outside the theater with all of the other die-hard fans. I mean I'm not really complaining because it was really cold last night, but if it had been warm, I would totally have waited outside.

The movie itself was AMAZING!!! It made me laugh and cry and was just....yeah. I really can't wait till July to see part 2 now! It is going to be such a long way off, but I can at least go see Part 1 a few more times in theaters to tide me over till the next movie. That, and I'll probably read the entire book series start to finish a few times as well.

I want those lazy days of summer.......

It is extremely nice to have a lazy day every once and a while. A day where you don't have to think about much and can just relax.

Well I was not able to have a complete lazy day today, but I was at least able to have a lazy morning. I slept somewhat late, till 8, and lounged around most of the day.

It has pretty much been a day of reading and catching up on my shows online. I was not completely unproductive though....I was able to find an article or two to use for some upcoming papers.

Now I'm pretty much just chilling and waiting to go to work tonight. It kinda sucks, but hey, not much I can really do about that, save for getting a new job. So I think I'll just stay where I am for now. It is only about an 8 hour shift, so sooner it is done, sooner it will be the weekend for me.

Only 15 more days until the midnight release of Harry Potter 7, pt 1!!!! I'm so excited!!!

What did I do now?

I hate work right now! I swear they cause me more stress then is healthy or worth it. I lost my old paycard about two weeks ago and never got a new one. Well, when I canceled the old card, they said they were shipping me a new one, but it never got here. I called today to check on it and they said it arrived over a week ago, about two days after I canceled it.

The thing is, no new card ever arrived at my house or at work. Now they are telling me that it may take a few days to get this "new" "new" card which is not good if I have been waiting for about two weeks to access my paycheck. It also sucks because I need to use that money for something this weekend and I don't know what I will do if I can't get at the money or pay for stuff this weekend.

And the Stupid Award goes to.....

Who ever was teaching my Monday night class for this semester. Wait, maybe I should rephrase that, whoever is teaching the class on Monday night that I was formerly enrolled in.

So I go into my school e-mail to check if there is any important messages from professors, seeing as how classes start in two days. Well what do you know, one of my professors has e-mailed the syllabus for this coming semester. I sadly love syllabi and I eagerly went to read it over. It had all the standard sections: campus policies, breakdown of topics covered, required texts, grading outline, etc.

A lovely little surprise was also added right underneath the teacher's name and office hours: COURSE REQUIREMENT/PRE-REQUISITES. I'm like WTF?!?! Pre-Reqs?! Apparently the teacher had recently changed the course or something, because since I had registered in may, a pre-req course was added for the current course I was enrolled in.

I realized that I would be unable to take said Monday night class and I had to frantically find a new one. After extensive discussions with my Tuesday job and one of the amazing people I work with (who graduated from my same master's program about two years ago)I was able to find a new class to take. It meets on Tuesday evenings which is a little crazy, but I have found a solution with my job that will allow me to work and go to school.

Amazingly, I'm actually more excited about my new class then the old one. The new one seems a lot more interesting and exciting. It's also and introduction class which usually tend to be a bit easier. Plus it's open to undergraduate students so it won't be so crazy. I think that the only reason that I didn't originally register for this class was that it was on Tuesday nights and I was worried about work.

Slightly Productive....

Here is a list of all of the things I have accomplished today so far......

1) Managed to get out of bed before 10 a.m.
When you work late and don't get home until at least 1 a.m. getting up early is quite the difficult task.

2) Took the dog to the dog park
Also a slightly difficult task when you are not yet fully awake and are being dragged all over the place in Mequon

3) Started to pack for my vacation on Wed.
I am not able to fully pack due to the fact that I don't leave for a few days and still need to use certain things. But, since I work Wed. morning until right before we leave, I felt the need to at least have most of my stuff ready to go.

I still want to get a little more laundry/packing done today. I also need to clean a little more of my room and run to the library before I go hang out with people tonight?

Think I can get it done? I'm optimistic about the outcome.....

Planning Does Not Work

So I had a meeting at Pizza Hut this morning which totally sucked. Why they seemed to think we would all be awake and coherent at 8:30 in the morning is beyond me. We had to learn how to make a new kind of pizza that is coming out soon. Don't get me wrong the Pizza tastes really good and will probably sell really well but,........8:30 in the morning? Really?! I just think that the time was a little crazy and ridiculous.

Well, that ended at about 10:00 this morning, and since then I've been kinda......yeah. It's only me and the little one at home and I'm really really really bored. I was planing on going for a bike ride today but I don't think that is going to happen after all. Which kinda really sucks because for as much as I bitch and complain while I'm riding, I actually enjoy riding down to the Art Museum and back.

So, now that I have nothing to do, I'm pretty much just sitting at home. The Packer game starts at 7! Yeah! So I'm just chilling until I get to watch pre-game stuff. Unless I have to work at 6, then I'll watch the game later, or at least watch what is left of it after work.

Advice

I have been very stressed out over the past few days. Not only have various things pop up that have been unwanted and unexpected, but stuff just has not been going the way I want them to.

When I was at work last night, I was talking to one of the guys and he gave me great advice. I mean it was something I already knew in a way, but hearing it from someone else seemed to really help me. He told me that no matter how much I want something to change or go a different way, it won't always happen. There are some things that we as people can change, but there are also somethings in life that are out of our control. There are also a lot more serious problems out in the world that need attention more then something as little and petty as what might be bothering me.

My only irritating bit about the whole situation that occurred last night was that when you tell someone you most likely can do something for them, don't let them know your answer at the last possible minute. Not only does said person do things for you all the time, but you never seem to be able to return the favor. If you didn't want to do it don't tell me you can and then wait until the last moment, the night before, to say "no I can't some "stuff" came up". Especially when I know from other people that that "stuff" is another stupid concert.

And so it begins......

I have something new to freak out about. I know it has been a while, so try to hide your excitement, but I once again have something that is making me freak out and stress out more then is probably necessary.

So Much For That

Wow, I had not realized how long it has been since I last wrote on here. April seems like so long ago even though it has only been about two months. But then again so much has happened in the past two months that time seems to be going a lot quicker.

I'm hoping to start writing on here more now that I'm in the middle of summer vacation. I've been having a really tough time with some stuff over the past few days and with no one to talk to/willing to listen I'm hoping to get some stuff out on here. Hopefully, with no one to talk to about anything, I can at least write out some of my issues and problems and work through them that way. At least until I can find someone who is actually willing to listen.

Fridays suck?

Who ever would have guessed that Fridays suck? Well not all of them, but at least this one does.

I'm bored to death right now. I just got done watching The Great Mouse Detective and am now watching the new Sherlock Holmes. I think my subconscious is telling me to read more mystery/detective novels.

But, besides watching movies there isn't really much to do. Which means I'm just sitting here wasting my life away while I wait to go to work.......which I'm not looking forward to at all. For some reason as of late, I've really hated the thought of going into work. But, I can't quite because I probably won't find another job that works as well with my schedule. Plus I need the money to pay for school, my car, my phone, car insurance, etc. I just really hate working though. It stresses me out and I always feel sick every time that I have to go there..........which is not good.

P.S.
I watched the Blind Side last night......great movie.

I'm Garfield......

....and I hate Mondays.

I'm having one of those types of days today. Everything seems to be going wrong for me today. I woke up extra early to spell check my paper that was due today. I got it all done and was ready to print when the printer decided to go all crazy on me. Long story short is that when my dad tried to fix it the last page of my paper managed to disappear. My brother tried to fix that but couldn't. I had to borrow money from my little sister so that I could pay the $11.25 for parking at school for 9+ hours (parking maxes out at $11.25). Obviously I had to do this because by the time my brother realized that he could not fix the problem it was 7:20 and I knew it would take me longer then 6 minutes to get to the bus stop.

Thankfully my professor was really cool about the whole thing. I explained what had happened and she was really understanding. She let me turn the thing in late (after class) so that I had time to fix what was lost. She also just let me simply e-mail her the paper because she thinks it is a bit rediculous that the school changes us to print papers out.

Don't you just hate that?

Don't you just hate it when you don't get a good night of sleep and it just throws off your entire day? I am in the middle of one of those types of days right now.

It's not that I didn't get enough sleep, I slept like 7 hours last night. It's that my sleep was constantly being interrupted. I would only sleep for like an hour and a half at a time and then wake up for like fifteen minutes before going back to sleep. The lack of a steady and constant sleep has thrown me off completely.

Nothing terrible has happened yet, it's just taken me a lot longer to do somethings, like my reading for my Roman history class.

This is completely random but I also really want some ice cream right now, that or some yogurt.......

April Fools

I just realized that today was April Fools day...........

Now that I realize this I'm a bit scared. April Fool's either turns out really good for me or really bad. It all depends on how mean people want to be. Tricks are either harmless or scare me to death.

Nothing has happened yet, but there is still a good chunk of the day left..........who knows what will happen.

Seriously? WTF?

I think I found the draft schedule of classes for the Fall semester today. That makes me happy because now I think I may be able to get a clearer idea of whats going to be going on in the fall.

All four of the required courses are being offered which is good, only two of the times really work for me though. I'm hoping to get into both of them so that I would only have to take one more class to be full time.

I could take the other required classes but their on site times are not really ones that work for me. The only way that I could take them would be to be online. That doesn't seem like such a bad idea except for the $2,2000 fee that gets added to your already insane tuition cost! No way am I paying that much money just to take a class online!

Cleaning......

It's the new Spring Break activity of choice. Who needs trips to Vegas, Mexico, or Florida when you can just stay at home and clean all day?

I actually don't mind the cleaning that much. I know my room has needed to be cleaned for a long time and now I can't say that it hasn't been done because of time. I have all day everyday this week so there is no reason why it won't get done.

Can I Move to England.....

Does anyone want to move to England with me? It doesn't have to be permanent or for a long time....I just want to be there long enough to buy some QI dvds.

http://www.qi.com/

This show is amazing! I wish it was shown in the U.S. so at least I could watch it!

No Epic Fails

Today appears to be getting slightly better com paired to how I felt this morning. That Roman history mid-term that I was freaking out about..........over. Did I fail? No, I don't think so. I knew my Domus Aurea, Agrippina the Younger, Primus Pilus, and I wrote a six page essay on the structure of Roman society and social class.

Now hopefully work will be a bit better........though after what happened a while ago, I very highly doubt it. Why must you bother me while I'm at school?! In the middle of a freaking mid-term!?!?! If you know I'm at school, then STOP CALLING ME!!! If I didn't pick up the first time, why would I pick up three minutes later?!

Have You Ever.....

Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up and just know that today was going to suck? Well, I'm having one of those days today and frankly I'm not liking it at all......

It started out when I needed to print a paper for my 8 am class this morning. I told my dad to wake me up at 6 so that I could do it then. He does wake me up saying its a little after 6 and I should get up. I look at the clock and see that it's almost 6:30............I'd say that's a lot after 6. Well anyways, I rush to get dressed and print my paper. That's all fine and I actually have time to eat a proper breakfast this morning. But then when I'm getting ready to leave I can't find my coat. I looked all over the place and can not find it. I'm thinking that I either left it at work or somewhere else, because it is not at home.

Because of the whole coat incident, I almost have to race to the bus. Thankfully it was like a minute or two late and I didn't miss it. But, the whole tension of it all put my in a bad mood this morning. Add in the stress of the mid-term that I have at 12:30 and you have a very happy me! NOT!

I just have this gut feeling that today isn't really going to get any better and its really irritating me. I'm so ready for spring break.......or at least tomorrow. It just one of those days where I really need a hug, but knowing what is going on the rest of the day..............that's defiantly not going to happen and hugging yourself just looks weird.

Today's Gonna Be A Good Day.....I hope......

Today is turning out to be one of those really good days. So far nothing to terrible has happened and I guess I should be thankful for that. I had a fairly good nights sleep and was not terribly cranky or tired when I woke up. I also got a really good parking spot when I got to school so now I don't have to hoof it up/down 3 or 4 flights of stairs to get to/from my car. I also get an automatic extension on both of my papers that were supposed to be due on Tuesday, but now the whole class can just turn them in after break. I may still turn it in on Thursday, but its nice to have that buffer.

Hopefully things stay like this......I'm not anticipating much happening here at school or at the library, but you never really know......

Did you know?

If you are getting married and find yourself assembling the guest list and writing out the invitations, do not invite any Centaurs! Inviting Centaurs to a wedding never leads to a good thing. They'll get drunk off the wine and then start fighting with everyone and trying to run off with all the women.

Do you want this at your wedding? I don't think so! Just avoid any problems and follow my advice and you should be alright......

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No I haven't lost my mind. I'm not crazy. This is just something that my art history professor had brought up yesterday when we were talking about Attic Black-Figure vases and I thought it was funny and wanted to share it with you.

Rain, Rain, Go Away.....

Come again some other day......

I don't like it when it rains. At least, I don't like the rain when it comes without warning me first. I went into my class at 8am and it was misty outside and had a very slight drizzle. I get out of class at 9:15 and it is coming down outside like it's nobodies business. It's rather irritating and annoying to have to try and shift/rearrange the contents of one's bag/suitcase in other terms, so that important things like books and computers do not get wet.

It is also really irritating that the sidewalks around campus are extremely uneven. Walking in the squishy, muddy grass to avoid the hug puddle in the sidewalk is not my idea of cool. Especially when said puddles are popping up about every two to three feet. Add in a coat that clearly does not like the rain as it is soaked on the outside, and you have one extremely happy me!

I have to go get some tea or something now. If I don't get some form of hot beverage in me, I feel like I may start to come down with a cold or something. You know how I am when I am sick and it is never a good thing.......

Field Trip anyone?

Anyone feel like going on a field trip with me? I need to go and see if Half Price in Brown Deer has a book I need for school and I don't particularly feel like going there alone......

I ordered this book from Amazon like two weeks ago and it never showed up. I would be more pissed about that, but it was never charged to my card, so at least I didn't loose any money. Apparently the used seller that I was buying from didn't have the book after all and I somehow didn't get the e-mail explaining that to me. I only just found out and I need the book really soon.

I'd rather check half-price first because the books there tend to be a bit cheaper. Only problem is that you can't check store inventory online. You have to go there and see if they have it, if they don't it sucks. If they don't have it then I'll have to try other full priced books stores or try ordering it online again but pay extra for a rush delivery.

Given construction in Brown Deer/when I'm done with school, I really don't feel like going alone. If I am unable to go today, I guess I'll try on Friday during the day, but that is starting to get to late and I'd rather just get this done.........

Any takers? Leave me a comment if you are interested........

Seriously? What?!

People need to chill out. Just because it is a little foggy outside does not mean that we have to loose our freaking minds! People do not need to ride my ass all the way down Lake Drive getting mad while talking on their cell phones. If you know the weather is bad then maybe we should have left a little earlier people!

People also don't need to get all snippy just because I am walking down a hall. Just because you are not looking where you are going and start walking into people doesn't mean that you have to make faces at me and complain because people are in your way.

Feel kind of funny today......don't quite know why. I'm just really ready for the weekend, Friday to be exact.

Tonight should be ok though. I have two of my fun classes today, so I won't mind that. My middle class was canceled, so I can just chill and work on homework. The library also should not be bad. There never is a whole lot for me to do there anyways.

I'm going to see Alice in Wonderland again. This time in 3D! I've never actually seen a movie in 3D before so it should be an interesting experience. I'm not paying for it so that makes it even better.

Seriously, Like You Weren't Expecting This.....

What does a tuition protest have to do with Mexican History?

Seriously people, like we all didn't know that tuition was bound to increase sooner or later? Arguing about it isn't going to make people change their mind. Yeah, an increase would suck, but it is not something that is going to change overnight.

It's 8:45 in the morning, this happened last week. Get over it already. I would rather leave this class early, then sit here and listen to people go on and on about this. I could be going and getting a real breakfast instead of sitting here hungry.

What to do.....

Its only 10:45 am and here is a list of everything I have done today so far......

1) Cleaned my room..............technically this was last night at like 1 am when I couldn't sleep, but whatever

2) Edited 4 of my papers that are due within the next two weeks

3) Taken an hour long walk with the dog.............

4) Gone to church............though that was before the walk

5) About to go to Best Buy to kill time..............I just need to be out of this house.


God, today is going to go by so slowly..............why do I have a feeling it's gonna suck?

I've Seen Better Days.....

Today has defiantly not been one of my better days. Things haven't hit rock bottom, but they defiantly could be better.

I got one of my two tests back so far, I did well and I'm happy with my grade, but that doesn't really make up for this morning......

I just feel like curling up with a good movie and some ice cream or yogurt or something......

What does this have to do with anything?

Did you know that apparently there is a great similarity between the Mexican Revolution and derogatory names for dogs? I didn't but apparently there must be as we have spent the past fifteen minutes coming up with names. What's even better is that this teacher is so spacey, that this idea wasn't explained until after we spent time making the list. All we were told/asked at first was to come up with bad names/words to describe dogs, then we were told to tie these into the Revolution.

What is going on in this class? I feel like I'm hardly learning anything that has any educational value...

Mark Your Calendars.....

..... for Sunday May 16th, 2010! Graduation Day!!!!

9 a.m. at the U.S. Cellular Arena. Be there or I may cry.......

When did this happen?

Was it always supposed to snow today? Because I was under the strict impression that the snow wasn't going to be coming until tonight or maybe tomorrow.....I was not prepared for this weather!

My New Best Friend

Her name is Bella and I love her every so very much! She is cute and pink and makes me smile!

OMG Are you all really that lazy?

Does it ever occur to the people working at this school to maybe do their jobs? I mean I know it is a lot to ask, but do you think, even just this once things could get done on time?

Instead of paying about $3-4 to park at school until 2:15. I now have to pay almost $10 to park in the union. I got to school to try and get a nice parking spot up top at the Klotsche center. I succeeded in that but then what do you know, none of the parking meters were accepting dollar bills! I don't know about other people, but I do not carry around $5 in quarters every day and unlike the other people this morning, I am not ok with just settling for the parking ticket. Thankfully I had some extra money in my wallet........

Still Nothing....

Everyone is still ignoring me.............makes me feel so much better. Every time I've tried to talk to someone they've either walked away, had to go and hung up, or simply pretended like I wasn't there. How am I supposed to relax or even just plain feel better if I can't talk to anyone about what's bothering me?

Yet again.......

You know how yesterday wasn't exactly such a great day for me? Well, today isn't any better. In fact, today is quickly turning out to be much worse then yesterday. I feel like shit, nothing seems to be working, and no one is here.

I mean people are here....but everyone is walking in and out every minute or two so it's not as if they have enough time to talk to me. Everything else is more important..........which really sucks right now. By the time anyone would be free it's really going to be to late. I'll already be stuck at work for another long and extremely annoying shift.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I mean it won't take much to be better. Anything is an improvement on how I feel right now.

'Member When.....

Ever have bad dreams as a kid? The kind that you wish you could wake up from but are never able to...... I hate those kind of dreams. You always end up waking up disoriented and freaked out. At least you would if you were me........

It seems really silly admitting this, but I had one of those types of dreams last night. I obviously know it freaked the hell out of me, the only problem is that I don't remember what it was that did the freaking. By the time I fully woke up I forgot what had happened. That alone is frustrating, I wish I knew what it was that scared the crap out of me so badly.

Having nights like that kind of puts a damper on things to. Because of last night, I woke up in a really bad mood. I've just been in this funk all morning that I can't seem to shake off. The looming "joy" of working for about 8 hours every night for the next two nights doesn't make it much better either. The fact that I'm going to have a nice loooooooooong shift at work makes me more stressed out then anything.

I know I said yesterday that I freak out to much and need to relax more. It is still true, I'm just having a bit of a hard time figuring out how I'm supposed to do that right now. It is kind of hard to relax in a crazy house where everyone always seems to be going somewhere and no one is able to talk when you need to.

I mean, maybe if I was able to just sit down and talk to someone in my family about all the crap that was bothering me then maybe I would be even the slightest bit happier. But then again knowing my luck, I would just get yelled at or criticized for what ever it was that I wanted to talk about. I seem to get very little to no encouragement or support for any of the things I want to do with my life.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I did get my first comment in a long time yesterday......that made me a bit happier

Freakout....

I need to just chill out. I freakout way to much. It's not good for me.

You would think that after a while I would realize that stressing out about every little thing in my life is not good. I panic to much and then it makes me want to cry because I feel like I'm going to fail.

Somethings are working out right now.....so maybe that's a sign for me. I need to just relax and not worry..............

To Whom It May Concern, Version 3

Dear UWM,

I take back all the bad things that I have been saying about you today.

You just let me into graduate school and therefore I love you! Thank you so very very much!

Sincerely
Me

P.S. Now if you could just let Morena in for me? That would make me even happier.....

To Whom It May Concern, Version 2

Dear UWM,

I'm at school........are you happy now?

Thanks for nothing!
Me

P.S. I hate you!

To Whom It May Concern.....

Dear UWM,

I hate you so very much for not cancelling classes and making me drive to campus in this weather. When the blowing snow causes me to not make it either to campus or home again I hope you will feel very guilty about what you have done. Just because you now have my tuition money does not mean you get to stop caring.

Sincerely,
Me

And They All Lived.....

Happily Ever After! I just got back from seeing the Princess and the Frog with my dad and little sister and it just made me think about fairy tales. Obviously considering that is what the whole movie is based on.......a fairy tale.

I have always loved princess movies and stories. What girl hasn't loved them at least one time in her life? I know that when I was growing up I fully believed that I would be able to be a princess when I grew up. I knew exactly how I was going to have my castle look and what I was going to name my large number of royal horses and ponies.

The movie itself was really cute. I enjoyed it a lot. The music and songs were amazing and it just made me think of all the other princess stories that Disney has made into movies and how much I love each and everyone of them.

WTF?! What is all this?

Why does it have to snow so much? I don't like all of this crazy weather. It might be a bit more tolerable if I didn't have to go to work in less then two hours. Add on the fact that my car is covered by lots and lots of snow and the plows have once again forgot that our street exists.

Can you major in Plumbing?

I have come to a realization today......I am not a plumber. Nor do I ever have any intent or interest in becoming one. I came to this conclusion this morning after the toilet started making noises and deciding that it did not want to flush. I think I got it to work again, but that still does not mean that I will be taking up that trade any time soon. It is to nasty and disgusting for my tastes.

Gonna Try This Again.......Again

I know that I am the worst updater in the entire world but whatever. I decided that one of the things that I would like to do in this new year is to try (emphasis on TRY) and update this blog at least once every week or two. I could lie to you and say that I will update this every day, but it is almost certain that that will never happen.

Work is such a time consuming part of my life that it does not leave much time for blogging about what is going on in my life. The little bit of time that I do have to write in between work and school is taken up by much more important things. Plus there is also that little detail about how I sometimes do not get home from work until about 11:45 at night and really who is going to be able to write coherently at that time of night?

My final semester of my undergraduate career.......hopefully.........begins in a few weeks. I'm kinda nervous yet really excited at the same time. I'm freaked out because I can't actually believe that I am only a few months away from possibly graduating! It doesn't seem real. It feels like only yesterday that I was a sobbing mess the day before my freshman year started.

But, this semester is going to be awesome! My thesis is done and that is such a huge burden to be done with. I can actually enjoy the classes that I am taking now. I don't have to use every spare thought and ounce of time working on a single paper. The classes that I will be taking should be a lot of fun!
