April is rolling along just great. I'm listening to Evanescence - So Close right now. I love the background music of this song. They are a great band. My website is coming along good, I guess, but lacking in the area of PICTURES, something I need. Oh well. Whatever. This month is probably the busiest month that I've had so far in terms of school. Everything is winding up to the end. I have papers due for each class (this month at that!), tests, and assignments. Hopefully I'll get a response from CSU soon knowing if I got in or not. I sent in my trascript and everything. I don't have much time to do anything these days. My life is actually becoming a life! I'm going to be overwhelmed with the amount of free time (hopefully) that I'll have in the summer. I don't know if I wrote this already, but Ashley's found a place to live at the Preserve (s******) so we went in to Armadillo to get out of the lease early if possible, that is, if someone wants to take it over. That will be the 1st of June. Then we'll be moving along to Collins West. Great huh? Hopefully next year the living situation will be even better than this year. It seems that it's getting better and better as the years go by. The other day for the first time in months, we all went over to Chris' to drink. Yes, me too. I just had a beer, but hey, whatever is ok right. Ben and I are going to the bars on Thursday to check out the scene. It's not something I'm into at all, but I figure I'd see what it's like you know. We're going to invite Chris to go too. That will be funny. I'll probably sip on a beer the entire time or something. Yeah, what else...oh yeah, our last geology lab was yesterday and it was a field trip. It was fun. This one place we went to was just awesome. We sat by the rocks that we pretty high up overlooking a small valley. There was a ranch and stuff, but that was the only man-made obstruction there. It's unbelievable when you look at the environment that hasn't been touched. It reminded me of the LOTR and stuff. I can't wait for Ireland, where there are surely more vast landscapes and such. I love those kinds of scenery, you know? It's inspiring in a way. I want to take Laura to this place, maybe even tomorrow or something, but yeah, it'll be fun. Nothing much to do tonight. I did a majority of my work yesterday and today, primarily tests. I have 4 more to go. 1 will be down tomorrow, another on Wednesday, another probably by Friday and the last one before finals on next Tuesday. Right now, I can't believe it's already 7:30 because of the fact that it's still quite light outside and the daylight savings time. It's starting to feel like summer again. :) I like it. It sorta, in a vague sense, reminds me of my childhood. I can't explain it. Anyway, I'm also in a money crunch. My credit card statement is coming here in a week or so. I'll get paid a good sum next time, so all of it might go towards the credit card and maybe a little to the insurance. I've got about $650 to pay back...slowly. I'm not a credit card person. I need a money making plan. The lottery would be just fine. It would be awesome, actually. Even a million would be so nice...I would put $700,000 into like a retirement plan to accumulate. The rest would go to, well, I don't know. Maybe $200,000 to a house that we'll live in after I graduate and the rest would go to a new car (Supra anyone?) and misc...like furnishing the house or something. Maybe I'll play sometime. I have no cash on me, so. Oh well. The friends department is the same old I guess. Looking at the weather, seems like this weekend might finally be a prime time for camping. Hopefully it is. I want to put my stove to use, you know? I bought it for something. But yeah, I'm gonna head off now. Nothing else to talk about. I'm just ramblin' right now. I'll see ya laters.

It's been a while! The last week has been stressful as hell. You wouldn't even know. 5 tests in the next 1.5 weeks (though I finished one already today), applying back to CSU, work, bank stuff, having no money, signing the lease and stuff like that. It's just way too much! Hopefully it'll start to settle down here soon. I really haven't been able to do anything. Things are so hectic. Ashley has found a place for this coming May at the Preserve, we've found a place at Collins West, and well, we're going to try and get out of this lease here at the end of May, hopefully. I wish to get all the deposits and shit back, so. We'll know about that on Friday when we go in to talk about it. It's been a nice week in terms of weather though, that's something to look forward to! I want to possibly go camping this weekend, if the snow is melted and all, that is. I'm sure it'll be fine though, unless the weird ass weather brings us shit again. That's it to report. Oh yeah, I JUST changed the font to Arial instead of Verdana, to give it a little change. I've been doing a lot of my school typing in Arial, so I've grown to like that font right now more than others. Um, I guess it's back to more school work for me though. Laters.

Saturday, March 29, 2003

So the problem is averted for the time being. I'm just getting a little annoyed at the moment. People need to learn to be, well, more educated or something. I don't give a fuck. I just made a CD with new trance songs that should hold me over for a little bit. Other than that, I had my 2nd geology lab and my 3rd and hopefully last one will be next Saturday, which is a field trip to see the rocks of the area. Interesting to know that Horsetooth Rock, this rock not too far from here and it's visible, is 1.6-1.8 billion years old. Pretty amazing considering the fact that the Earth is only about 3 times as old as that. Anyway, I'm going to head over and play Catch Phrase now. It's a very recommended game from me. Trust me. I don't like many games. Laters.

It's just incredible the things that happen when people say stuff sometimes. I don't even know what to say. I've probably created a big problem that may or may not stick around but I really don't care. There's a fine line between being dependent and being ridiculously dependent. Solving YOUR problems at the expense of OTHERS' discomfort and dissatisfaction is just wrong. It's just asking to wage war. Taking things for granted is also a bad thing to do and just builds up the problem even more and sooner or later, you're going to have to face it, whether it may end nicely or fuck up your life. And it seems as though war has been waged in a sense. Some things are just how they are and you just have to accept them. Some people just don't want to do that. I'll keep an update of what's going on in this situation over the next few weeks and we'll see how it progresses. I mean, I'm not going to back down or anything, but I'm not going to push anything more than it's been pushed already, unless it comes to the point where it has to. I hope it doesn't come to that because once it's come to that, some things won't be able to be healed. I'm going to burn a CD now, with the latest songs that I've downloaded. I may have some news for the blog later on, even. We'll see.

Monday, March 24, 2003

So, today was an exciting day at work. Not really, but I finally got to spend a few hours on a project and felt important. Unfortunately, I'm done with it, so I'm out of things to do. Great huh? It fricken snowed today and during the little snow shower, the sun came out...what is wrong with the weather in this state? I mean, come on. It's supposed to become pretty good weather, you know, this week. Strange I tell ya. I have a lot of stuff to do in terms of homework this week. I do not want to do them. I think I'm going to visit Zach on Wednesday. I have an ortho appointment, so I might as well stop by and say hello or something. I didn't even know he was in town, nor did anyone else. Seems like people are starting the stray away from their friends and starting to do their own thing, if you know what I mean. I think, well, life's starting! Not for me though. Not yet at least. I have a couple more years to go. So boring today though. It was a good mail day, I guess. I got my 256MB of more RAM and I installed that already. I do feel the computer is a little more zippy. I also go 2 movies, A Beautiful Mind and Time Machine. I think I'm going to watch the Time Machine tonight. The other one seems to be kinda slow, but that's ok. I signed up for Netflix (2-weeks free trial) so I'm renting a few movies for the next couple of weeks, then cancelling it. Cool huh. I'm watching my lava lamp do its thing while I type. It's sooooo boring. Today my ad for my website went up. It was in a great place apart from the other ads. Hopefully this will increase traffic a little, but I'm beginning to think that it's a lost cause. I doubt anyone is going to send in their pictures. I set up a forum for the website, but I doubt anything will go on that either. Oh well, I have three month before my hosting runs out, so I guess I can wait until then, but I mean, I had to try it. I'm kinda hungry but dunno what to eat. Ash and her sister are playing Mario Party downstairs. They have nothing better to do I suppose. We tried to go to the office of the new apartment we hope to live in, but again, they were gone. What is up? I'll know the Dave Matthews tickets status by this Thurs. Hopefully I won't have to buy it through the public sales. My car is pretty clean. I like the rain since it cleans the car, but snow I hate. Well, that's all for now. I'll be here soon I think since there's NOTHING TO DO.

Saturday, March 22, 2003

*sigh* It's just a drat when you solve one problem and that just sprouts up another. That's about the only news I have. I just finished talking with a good friend from high school that's going to the school of mines. Also, maybe I'll mention it in this blog that I have a "secret" website that is very well underway. I'll show Laura sometime when there's enough content. :)

Friday, March 21, 2003

Well I got my timesheet signed for a measely 28 hours...that's not going to pay for anything. My credit card bill is up the snafoo and I'm screwed. I'm gonna die. My Mom messaged me on MSN today from Japan. I thought it was a little weird, but anyhow. I guess it's cold there. Why is this Earth so damn cold? Laura went to Denver today and tomorrow so she can shop with her Mom and spend her sister's b-day down there. I'm left to do nothing. There is nothing to do. Haha, here's something funny. I tried to spray paint the small inside area of my car red to match the car's exterior and yeah, it didn't work. I'm looking for some paint thinner now to try and get the paint off. Hopefully it'll come off, otherwise, it won't be appealing to some buyers if I ever sell it. I should sell it soon if I am to, so I get get some good deals around here. But yeah, nothing else to report. Literally, nothing!

Thursday, March 20, 2003

So the snow finally stopped and the city is well on its way to recovering in terms of driveability and clearing them damn roads. The funny thing is, yeah, I decided to go to breakfast with someone and that in turn caused a part of my underside of the front bumper to break off and a little piece is just hanging from there right now. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't think they sell just the underside, but it's ok I guess. Doesn't hurt the car in any way, so. The driveway is hard to get into. It's ridiculous. I am going to take down the TV to Longmont today. And I also have to stop by radio shack, maybe, and swing by Chris' house to pick up his smaller 19" TV for Laura's room so we can watch movies in there without the "choppiness" of the computer DVD player. I may also stop by work to see if it's even open and to see if my bosses are there. If not, better for me as I can put some hours down on my timesheet for this week since you know, work wasn't so fun this week. Anyway, I'm gonna get some shit done. Later.

Tuesday, March 18, 2003

Well, I've found a "saving" event that will calm my nerves for the most part, but it just keeps on coming. It's snowing like the devil out there. Predictions put the number of inches of snow at 345872340952435" or yeah, roughly the end of the world. No kidding, either. My car and every other car out there is covered like fuck. It's already snowed a few inches and it the bulk of the storm hasn't even reached us looks like. It's gonna be one heck of a week. My ad for the collegian for my website got rescheduled for next Monday, the 24th, which was nice of them since they aren't going to publish any newspapers probably all this week. My paycheck in turn is going to be shit, or maybe nothing at all depending on whether or not I can even get to work or if work's even open this week. My turn in date for my timesheet is Friday and yeah, frankly, I don't think anything will be open, so, I'm screwed probably for the most part.

Saturday, March 15, 2003

I'm going to blow up!
Okay, it's later. Well, it's been quite a hectic week actually, despite the spring break that it's supposed to be. First, an update on my website. My friends' profiles aren't up yet. They'll be up hopefully on Sunday so by Monday, everyone can come to my site and enjoy and flourish it...yeah right. Second, when I went to work on Thursday, for the first time in ages, they complained that I should tell them when I'm not going to be in the office. Oh well. Third, I had a dentist's appointment today to fix that lone cavity that I've had for over 2-3 years now. It's fixed, no pain, all good. Fourth, my credit card is up the creek. Hopefully I'll be able to pay it off by within 2 months. Sixth, my data cable I was finally able to figure out. My computer I think is just too old or needs a heavy upgrading in the motherboard/BIOS area. I did it on Laura's computer and it worked wonderfully. The speed it connected at was amazing from just being a phone service. Over 110Kbs! Even 56K modems don't work that well. I'm going to start abusing it soon, like when I go down to Denver or on a road trip or something, granted, I have a laptop. Seventh, I finished up on lots of homework for this week. It really wasn't a spring break...more like a spring weekend. Nothing different for me. Ashley and TJ are back from their trip and they got my a nice little cactus plant in a pottery. Nice huh? Which brings me to my Eighth and final point, our trip to NM. Okay, so we left at 4:30 sharp on Saturday as planned. I drove hell of a lot faster than I should have been, but that's okay. After a couple of hours, stopping at Colorado Springs for some breakfast, we got to Santa Fe in 6 hours. 8 hours courtesy of MapQuest my ass! I put the cruise control on 100 for a good part of the desolate landscaping which helped. Lots of dirty bugs hittin' my windshield too. Right when I got into town, the atmosphere was noticiably different. The people were all mexican! Go figure. We got to our Days Inn ok and we decided to go to the plaza for Laura to shop. We did, and we ate at The Shed, which is reportedly supposed to be good, but my enchilada was just too damn hot and wasn't good either to boot. Strike one. The next place we ate, Tomasitas was really good, despite the idiot hostesses that worked their who made us wait 30-40 minutes. Anyway, that was that. I must tell you these mexican people aren't friendly toward tourists, especially those of japanese. This one guy in the gas station was laughing at me. I'll rather fucken send him to the border patrol than stay there. Anyway, the next day we set sail for Roswell...yes, Roswell. The infamous alien crash landing incident. We got there in 2 hours (4 hours my ass, MapQuest) and went to the UFO museum. What a place. I loved it. Took a picture next to an alien and we were off to see the contents. Good stuff. We visit the gift shop where I went ahead and purchased a alien mug and a keychain. Laura bought just the mug. There were some cool posters and shirts, though. After that, we ate at Applebees (always good service served by crackers :) ), and headed up back to Santa Fe. This time we ate at Denny's...ok, usually Denny's's (??) are ok, but this one sucked. The hostess was an incosiderate idiot who I hope dies soon. The waiter (mexican) was just TOO nice and weird. Whatever. We got back to the Days Inn and went to bed. Next day, we drive back to Black Hawk, where our free hotel room awaits. We get there, sort of slower than on the way down, and I get the room. Nice room it is! My Mom was coincidentally staying there that night too, so I found her and we went to dinner. Laura was all nervous and actually getting mad about it. Don't ask why...I eat and do all kinds of stuff with her family. After dinner, I think my Mom gambled a little more and left early that next morning for some hot springs. That night, we decided to watch LOTR:TTT and ordered high speed internet. Yeah, I know I can't believe I did that. Anyway, next day we stop by Laura's house in Lakewood and head home. Fast forward to now and here we are. You're all caught up now. I'm so tired of this constant typing...I'll be doing that again soon since a paper is due for astronomy in the coming weeks. 2 to be exact. I'll pull it out of my ass. Anyway, already 11:30pm...time for bed, or rather, way past bed. I'll talk to you again soon. See ya.

Tuesday, March 11, 2003

Okay, I don't have much time as of right now to talk about our trip to Santa Fe/Roswell, NM, but I will tomorrow sometime. We are going to Rod's to sit in the hot tub here in a little bit. All and all, I had fun. But yeah, I did get the data cable...TODAY. God damn it. I tried to fiddle with it for a few minutes today, but I couldn't get it to work. Hopefully I can get it to work. I don't want to have spent $30 for nothing. My credit card bill is up the roof. I am in deep shit! That's right, very deep. My Mom is going to Japan in a couple of weeks. Hope she has a good time. Nothing to report right now. I am in the process of promoting my CSU Connection website. I hope it gets big. Really. On a side note, my site is 100% up now. Checking the webstats, it seems as though some amount of people are actually visiting the site because the hits on the site is going up and that's during when I didn't check it, so it must mean SOMEONE is checking it out. Once spring break is out of session and everyone's back, which would probably be this weekend, I'll report again on whether or not I think it will be good to continue keeping it up. That's for now. Be back later.

Thursday, March 06, 2003

It's coming down to the wire now. I have all the things for the website set up. All it needs to do is for my domain name to recognize my new hosting and it'll begin. I have to go put flyers and such up around campus tonight. I'll let Laura do the design. I hope this really works out. Anywho, got my Astro test back and got a 88%. Not bad eh? Rod, however, didn't fare as well, but he wouldn't disclose his score. Goes to show that goofing off and not taking notes kinda hurts when it comes to it. I have been discussion on the forum at the paranormal site pretty intensely today. Did not much else. Turns out that my Mom has also reserved the 10th of next week as the day for the free night at the casino hotel. That's the same day Laura and I are going there...weird huh? I heard from a co-worker that this time of year is cold for New Mexico so I should bring some warm clothes and possibly get ready for some snow there. I thought it didn't snow in the southwest? Aside from that I have to get a couple of things done homework wise before this trip. Also, the package containing the data cable that was allegedly sent via USPS priority mail on Tuesday wasn't here today. Seems kind of odd, but it better come tomorrow, or this money I spent was down the drain. I want to surf the net this weekend dammit! I am so impatient for this website to go online! I know it's going to take 1-2 days for the change to occur on the settings that I had to set, but still, I just want it to go faster. Hopefully by tomorrow morning it'll be up...but with my luck, it probably won't. The launch date is supposed to be tomorrow, but I may have to change it to the 8th, just in case. But I don't want to have the students try to actually go to the website when it's not there and get a message saying that it's not there. I want it to be there. Chances are they probably won't come back if they're not interested when they first get there. I am getting used to the new stuff I have to learn for setting up my own site and what not. I had read a little about how to set up a message board and it doesn't seem hard, but I'm sure I'll run into some problems. The problem is that I have to pay another $10 to setup a database access thing for my hosting to be able to run the message board. I am contemplating even putting on up, but I think it would be for the better. I'll have that answer by next week or so. I am kinda low on money right now, you know what I mean? My credit card is rapidly increasing as we speak. I need to cut back. My Mom is going to Japan in a couple of weeks. Ben's b-day is coming up and he's going to Las Vegas. Oh yeah, I haven't said anything about my dentist's appointment that I had this week in years. Well, luckily I only have one cavity, which considering I haven't gone since I put my braces on is quite incredible. For me anyway. Next Friday I have to fill that cavity in, then in a week go to the ortho to put the permanent retainer on the bottom. Thank god, because this temporary retainer is a bitch to talk with. Among other things, that's it. Really. This is the longest posting I've done in a while. Depending on whether or not I get the data cable, I won't be writing for a while.

Wednesday, March 05, 2003

The internet has been slow on and off all day, but oh well. Tomorrow we are going to get donuts for our astronomy class. How nice are we? Also, I am actually really doing a website, called www.csuconnection.com where I compile people's information who send me pictures and their information at the website and other visitors can meet and talk with each other. Nice huh? I got the design already done, the website domain is purchased and the hosting is being taken care of right now and shoudl be ready to launch by tomorrow. I'm excited. This is the first real website that I've attempted and hopefully it'll go well. I'm going to have Laura and Susan and TJ pass the word along about the site to CSU students and put up flyers and what not. I might put up an ad in the CSU newspaper for a day or two, because it's so expensive. If it wasn't, I would do about a week. Anywho, I'm learning up on setting up a bulletin board for my site. I think it's $10 to set up a database thing and then I can start having members and stuff. I have to learn more of this because it's an area where I haven't touched ever, so. It's a learning experience for me I guess. I'm going to New Mexico in about 3 days. Woohoo. I hope my data cable comes tomorrow so I can test it before I head out. I'm going to help Laura study for a test now. I'll talk to you guys later and just so you know if I don't write in here on........well, I guess if my data cable works, I'll have internet when I'm in New Mexico, so nevermind what I was going to say. Laters.
Well it's been quite some time now hasn't it? Yes, nonetheless, nothing is new. I just received an e-mail regarding Dave Matthews Band ticket sales and they go on sale on the 29th...EXCEPT for Warehouse members, which begin on the 7th. Yes, stupid me that I am, I joined just so I can be part of the early ticketing. I hope it pays off! It was $30 for the membership! Anyhow, I vow to get good tickets. Among other news, I ordered a data cable for my phone so I can surf the net through any computer. How cool is that. True portable internet! I should get that tomorrow or Friday and I'll mess around with that so there's no trouble using it on Saturday. We already reserved the hotel rooms and what not. Should be a fun time. I am getting two tests back this week and hopefully I didn't bomb both of them...or either of them, actually. I bought a new Nalgene bottle yesterday. It's a 16oz. one, but with a narrower neck, with is soooo much better, personally, for drinking. I think I am going to read some history now. I want to get rid of MOST of my homework before this trip. I have to finalize a few things so there's nothing to be worried about. Worry free road trip baby! It's been snowing like crazy. Well, it just snowed all day yesterday and it's fine now, but there is a bunch of snow. Looks like, for the most part, the work abroad is going to happen. Hopefully my brother will have enough spare tickets by next year that my airplane ticket can be paid for...that would be such an awesome deal. But anyway, have yourselves a day.

Thursday, February 27, 2003

So, right now it's a big difference in the internet's speed...it's so sluggish right now. I take back my last post. Anyway, I finally go my braces off! Hell fucken yeah. Felt really weird when it first came off, but I'm getting used to it now. The bad thing now is that I have to wear the retainer for about 6 months full time. Then at nights. In the mean time, I have to get this stupid cavity fixed...not looking forward to that. Laura is singing like a weirdo next door right now. Laura got her parents' approval to live with just me next school year. Good. Now we have to find a place. Hopefully we can snag one of the two options we were hoping for. Can't wait for the Spring Break trip. I need SOMETHING to take pictures with. Digital or not. Probably film will do. We are going to go eat some dessert at Rod's house and we're going to sit in the hot tub. It's his b-day, by the way. We got him Phase 10 Masters Edition. Hopefully he doesn't have it and will like it. 1/2 will do. Well, nothing else to report. Took the astronomy test today and it was an "eh" kind of test. I'm sure I did okay. I just didn't know a couple of the short answers. No big deal. I am not looking forward to this geology lab on Saturday from 10-4...yeah, 6 hours long. What the fuck are we going to do for 6 hours? God damn. I think as of now, the plans for an Ireland work abroad is going to happen and should take shape soon. I told my Mom and she was all for it, surprisingly. She said better to do this kind of stuff while I was young. Ha. I have to check on my passport to see if it's still valid. If not, I have to go do that. I'll update as I need on this plan. Late.

Wednesday, February 26, 2003

I just did a check on the speed of my internet and it's damn fast! I can feel it too. It's so much faster than the T1 line at work, it's great. Thank you technology! Went to work, did some stuff, now I'm back at work. Gonna to eat in a little bit, but I just wanted to stop by. I got my state tax refund, which was much needed. Well, not really, but just good to have you know? I forgot that it was $300 instead of $250. Goodie, goodie. Tomorrow's my astronomy test. I'll have to study for that tonight. Not really much to study for. Just cover a few points and do my note card. Should be all right...and then FINALLY, after months and months of delays, tomorrow I get my braces off. If I don't, man, I'm gonna fucken wreck some havoc. I'm serious. I want these fuckers off now! Well, gotta get going. Be back sometime soon.

Monday, February 24, 2003

My computer class test is ready and available on the website. I could take it and probably get a good grade, but I'm going to take it tonight when I have quiet and time on my hands. I don't want something happening like thinking it's going to be really easy and then making stupid mistakes. I make a lot of bill payments today, most notably my credit card and insurance. Together equaled about $1000. God damn! My bank account went from a good $1200 to a scant $100 or so. Watched the Boiler Room last night. I like the movie. Tonight is Laura's pick and she chose the wedding planner. Oh well. I am just finishing up this blog before I head out to work. It's cold outside, but it's not really cold, if you get that. It snowed a good amount last night and the snow on my car is still piled up high. I tried to go fast to blow it all away, but no can do since the roads were quite slippery today. I hope it's an eventful day at work. I don't want to just sit there like usual. Maybe I'll go in a little late today, but probably not. I still have to get ready and stuff. Ah, I know, I'm going to take my astronomy paper there so I can re-write it. Nice. Anyway, hope you guys had a good start to another week of work and fun! Oh yeah, I have to get a dentist's appointment today. I don't know whether I should go there or call. Maybe I'll go there now. I feel like I'm in a chatty mood. Which reminds me, I also cancelled my old credit card today right, but then as we were talking this guy (I swear I knew he was black) kept telling me that it's good to keep the account open for credit and shit. I said, "No, I want to close it." And then he comes back saying "Well, are you sure, because it's good to keep it open." "No, I want to close it." This continued for about 3 minutes when finally he got hte picture that I wanted to close the account. After all, isn't that what someone is trying to say when they say they want to close the account? Man, sometimes the darker color seems to "block" messages that are trying to get into their damn brain...no more Capital One for me. Late.

Sunday, February 23, 2003

Well, well. Today was a "let's buy something for no reason" day. Laura and I just came back from Target and Circuit City and we each bought 3 and 4 movies, respectively. I bought my all-time favorite The Rock and some other noteworthy ones. Laura bought 66% chick movies, but that's okay since I have action movies to cancel it out. I rearranged my room and took out the big ass couch that I had in my room, you know, since I always used it and all. Now I have more like an office setup which I like much better and seems more roomier and cleaner. It's snowing pretty hard outside, but they're little bitty snowflakes that'll take a long time to build up. I just checked the weather report and seems like there's a chance of snowing today and tomorrow and then it'll settle down for a little bit. That's all the news that I have for now. I'm just waiting for the state tax refund to get back and my school refund and then I'll get to paying off all my debts at the moment. Well, hope you had yourself a good weekend. I'm getting ready for 3 tests this week. Fun.

I just noticed my last blog and that the sentence sounds really weird when the word 'wind' is pluralized. Anyway, I got a 59/75 on my first history test, which equates to around 79%...not good, but not bad either I guess. I had to get a feel for the tests. I found out that I missed on the short answer but did great on the multiple choice. If I bump up my efforts, I should be able to get an A by the end of the semester. Lots of news today! First I sent off an e-mail to Suzanne. It's her b-day tomorrow. She sent an e-mail back saying thanks. Yes, Laura, I just said happy b-day. :P Second, I got paid today a whopping $370, which is enough to cover for a lot of stuff, but low and behold, I got my federal income tax return back!!!! That's a gigantic $759 back to me....hahhahahahahaha, the problem is, that's just about enough to cover for my new credit bill...yeah, I spend too much. The good thing is that I'll get my state tax refund back for about $250. I just realized that I hadn't paid my Mom for this month's car payment! Shit! I'll say that I couldn't give it to Chris or that I'm giving her the return for the financial aid, so this month is a freebie or something. Anyway, my last credit is paid off and I'm going to cancel it probably early next week. I'm in a good mood, despite the fricken history test score, but oh well! I'm gonna go to front range on my way to work to have this form filled out, head out to work, and then get my timesheet signed and I'm off at around 1 or so? I have nothing to worry about this weekend. This week sucked because I had so much shit to do. I have two tests next week, computer, which should be quite easy and biology, which I'm not too happy about, though it's still a take home....shit! I just remembered about the astronomy test too. Oh well. I'll do good. Another weird thing, another weird ass bump, this time a one that hurts, appeared on the same ear that already has that fucking alien implant. What the fuck is up with that? In any case, I'm going to take a shower. A nice long one, maybe it'll make the shit go away. It hurts when I try to scrape it off. The difference about this one is that it's just on the surface and not in the inside. Any-fucking-way...oh yeah, here's an interesting episode. Last Saturday Rod, Laura and I were playing Phase 10 (card game) and right before Rod when home, or apparently close to it, I called him an idiot and said that he had a brain tumor...so he jets off and I knew he was pissed off about that. We have class on Tue and this Thurs. and turns out he's still mad. I mean come on. Can anyone take a joke? Laura's taking his side at times, but I ain't doing shit. It's his problem to deal with. Now I'm going. Lates.
