looking at my feet

Hey peeps

Long time no talkie. Yeah, I told you this would happen when school started up again. Too bad school never really stopped over the summer, I had a couple marathon calculus courses over the summer. I'm glad I took them though because I feel like my "fluency" in calculus has dramatically increased due to those two classes. So right now i'm in multi-valriable calculus, a.k.a calc IV. I'm having a lot easier a time of it than I did when I took calc I - III. So that's good, and I can finally see graduation on the horizon. There still so much crap I have to do before then though. I need to get a TB test done, I need to submit a TON of paper work, I need to complete another 30 something hours of obeservation, I need to finish 8 more classes (technically only 4 of those are needed for graduation). I'm having a tough time deciding if I should jam all eight of those classes into the next two semesters, or if I should bump off two of those classes to over the summer time. I'm leaning towards the later, but I need to find out if those classes will DEFINITELY be offered over the summer. If I don't have them completed in the summer, then I cannot student teach in the fall. So that is my dilemma.

In other news, I can now run a whole mile without stopping. Erin will be proud of me. I have completely stopped losing weight because I eat whatever I want whenever I want. That doesn't make me happy, but it's keeping me from exploding. I guess I need to stop internalizing everything and stop eating my emotions. Oh well, we all have our little things we obsess about.

Ok, so this is a really boring post, but so is my life right now. SO HI again.

Halloween

happy halloweeney

unemployment is looking good

I hate my job. I hate two faced back stabbing bitches too. And yes, one is directly related to the other.

Vacaaaayyyyshun

Sweet sweet vacation time. Today I'm gonna do the two and a half weeks worth of laundry I've been neglecting, think about doing some of the dishes, ride my bike all around, bake some zucchini sweet potato bread with the zucchini Michelle W. gave me, download some music, rock out, possibly lay on the beach in the beautiful breeze, and chillax. No school for two weeks, and no work this week!!!! Of course this vacation naturally coincides with me only have $10 in my checking account, but I don't care.

Broke as a joke

Wow, I'm sure most of you know already considering the recessions and all that, but it sure isn't fun being broke. You'd be hard pressed right now to find a person who hasn't been touched by layoffs, unemployment, and cutbacks. I guess I shouldn't complain though because for the most part my lack of work has been voluntary. I started going back to school to make my life better, but in the process of that I discovered that it wasn't fucking working. No way could I survive 2+ years of working a stressful job full time, and continue to spend every waking moment of my free time on homework and studying. It would have ruined everything. It already has ruined relationships with friends, and caused a lot of strain on my relationship with Jake and pretty much everyone else, not to mention my mental and physical health.

Working part time, I can't even afford to go to a movie, or groceries half the time but yet I'm supposed to be buying a house this year. I can't wait until I'm done with school, and then I swear I will never take another class again for the rest of my life. I can't wait to have my life back. I can't wait until that someday far off in the future where I might someday actually be financially stable. I hope I still have friends when I'm done. One year left people. It's going to be a fucking hard one too.

Rant

So, I'm really tired of working with certain types of people. I seriously want to punch some people sometimes. I will have to make more of an effort to keep those kinds of people out of my life.

I also think that the singer Katy Perry sucks and can't wait for her career to end.

Oh, and I've been watching that TV show Harper's Island. I just want to say bravo to the way that ended. If they come out with another season, then I take back that bravo, and will never watch it again. It's about time they came up with a show that had a definite time line and ending. Take Lost for example. I hate that show. I hate hearing people talking about that show. It's stupid. What happened was that the show started, and it was actually pretty good at first, so everyone started watching it. Then the producers sprayed their shorts and had to keep coming up with new shit to keep it interesting. And so the plot keeps getting weaker, and it just gets ridiculous after a while. I mean seriously, the show went from a group of people whose plane crashed on an island to some kind of government conspiracy secret mad scientist lab?? How does that fit? Here how about this idea. Give the show an ending. Yeah, people are sad when something that they like ends because they'll miss it, but that ending will give them the kind of satisfaction that dragging it out for 10 more years won't. So yeah anyway, Harper's Island. .. It had a defintie plot structure. It had conflict. And most importantly it had resolution of conflict.
Yah! Everyone get's murdered, the bad guys get killed, and the lovers reunite and drive off into the sunset on a boat. The end.

Oh, and don't get the wrong idea that I don't like unrealistic plots. I am the fantasy queen. But for a show like say x-files, or buffy the vampire slayer to have a plot twist that involves secret government testing conspiracies, it works a little bit better than the show where people involved in a plane crash have to survive on an island.

Pterodactyl arms

So Jake has recently informed me that I have pterodactyl arms, or dinosaur arms. He says that whenever I'm standing and waiting for something or thinking about something that I just curl my arms up like a t-rex or a pterodactyl. He though it might have at first been the case that I actually had really heavy elbows, but now is revising his theory to include the possibility that the Reid family has evolved from dinosaurs.

A picture might better illustrate this pterodactyl arm phenomena.



Ok, this is the best picture I can find because I don't take that many pictures of my self, and when I do, I'm usually posing, but I think this kinda illustrates it despite my having things in my hands. Just kind of imagine the hands curled up and limp. Oh, and please excuse how fat I am in this picture it's from a couple years ago.
