Let's see. Not much is going on right now.

My brother started his new job yesterday. He now works for the city doing maintenance and utility (I guess that's what you call it). He likes it. He goes in later, makes more money, and it only takes him three minutes to get to work from home.

My mom is considering having Simba de-clawed. ( Part of me wants to, but part of me doesn't. )

If all my financial aid goes through, I may not have to pay anything other than parking and books this year.

Simba and I need to have a serious discussion about when the appropriate time for breakfast is...and 6 o'clock it ain't. Especially since it's after seven and he is well into his first cat nap of the day. The little bastard.

Meghann emailed me today to tell me she is 6 weeks pregnant with her second child. So when this baby is born, they will have an infant and a two year old. Yikes! For the most part, Tyler's a good kid that doesn't really get into a lot of things. I hope for her sanity that continues. ;)

Congrats, Meghann and Roger!

It's so hot outside and it's not even summer yet! It seriously needs to rain. I keep going out every so often to give Bekah, my dog, some fresh water. Don't want her to have a heat stroke or anything.

I need to get back outside and finish cleaning the pool so I can go swimming. I usually don't go swimming this early, but the water is already warm. I don't get in until it reaches at least 80 degrees.



Simba is being a pain as usual. He spends most of the day wrapped around my ankle, with his teeth and claws. I don't know why I was deemed personal chew toy, but my hands, feet, and legs are seriously scratched up. He's quite the little monster.

Well, as you can see, there is absolutely nothing really going on with me.

I knew I should have pushed harder for Demon. ;)

I don't know if you're going to be online today to get this, but



It's Friday!!! Finally, I didn't think this week was ever going to end.

Anyone ever visit fandomsecrets? (If not, you should check it out. Warning: you may become addicted. LOL) Well, there is now a fanmix. Seriously, this is quite amusing and very well done. :) I'm very impressed.

F!S Fanmix this way please

This is going to be the week from hell, I can already tell. Of course all my professors have something due by the end of this week. It's getting to the point in the semester where I start slowing down. I'm pretty burned out now. And it seems like the professors are piling things up.

But I only have like 6 more weeks and then finals. The one class I'm so ready to get out of is my French class. I really hate that class. No, I hate the way the foreign language department wants it taught.

Well, break's over so back to homework. :(

Today was kind of a bust. I didn't do anything. I will not waste my Spring Break. I have a ton of crap due next week when I get back.

What I need to do this week:

• French paper and regular French homework
• POLS project
• math homework and study for exam
• lit homework (b/c lord knows I'm nearly 100 pages behind in this weird novel by this Russian dude. I swear I don't know what is going on most of the time in this.)
• I've need to study my physics
• clean my room (I still have boxes in my bedroom floor that are packed from OU!)
• car maintenance
  

So lots to do and I really need to get this done...before Sunday night. But I am such a procrastinator!

( Ok, so I know I am a ditz with no sense of direction, this isn't anything new to me. )

I hate driving in Athens. It's easier to find things in Atlanta than Athens. For those of you who don't drive around Athens, the Loop is like the worst thing ever. It doesn't make a circle like I-285 does around Atlanta. No instead it's two horseshoe shaped highways, making Inner Loop and Outer Loop, where Inner Loop North will eventually dead end on a back road beside Outer Loop. I mean come on! Couldn't they have connected them to make a circle or something instead of them twisting round each other?

Midterms are over for me. I had one Monday and two today and a paper due. I think my French exam went ok, but the physics test kicked my ass. I really don't think anyone finished. It was only three problems. Of course each problem had at least four parts, but still. I was able to answer most of it. There was at least one part in each problem that I just had no clue what to do. Oh, well, over now.

Needless to say I'm exhausted. Of course I don't know why I'm still awake. I have to be up in less than five hours to get ready for class. It's so hard to make myself go to this class. Since I'm not working right now, I only have this class on Tuesdays and Thursdays instead of also working 12-5pm. It's a 9:30-10:45 math class where the professor doesn't take role. I get up, drive 45 min for a 75 min class, then drive back 45 min home. Some days it's not worth it to even get up out of bed. But I skipped Tuesday, (Hey, it was pouring down rain! Don't judge me.;-)) so I shouldn't skip the whole week. Plus I have homework due and after I spent all that time doing it, I'm definitely turning it in.

One more full week after this week then it's Spring Break!! I want to sleep. I can't wait.

Has this week been incredibly long for anyone else? I keep thinking tomorrow is Friday, even though I know I have math tomorrow. Eh, wishful thinking I guess.

Well, when I went to bed last night there was snow on the ground and I was planning a day of relaxation. Instead I wake up to find that the snow melted and classes weren't canceled. That totally sucked. Well, it didn't suck too bad since I didn't go to class this morning... I did go to work, but it took a lot of convincing on my part. Mostly because I wanted to discuss cutting some of my hours during the week. It's pretty much the only reason I showed up today. Tomorrow is pay day! I hope I remember to pick up my check.

I finally broke down and checked online for my grades today. I totally passed my math class! I am so relieved. I got a C. That means I don't have to retake it. I had prepared myself to get a D or something and plan to take it again next fall, but now I don't have to worry about it. Thank god! I hated that class.

Well, today was my last day off for Christmas holiday and tomorrow it's back to work. Hopefully it won't be too bad. I had to work by myself Sunday. I was the only textbook associate that would could work, and was the only one there. One of the managers came in for a little while so I could get a lunch break. I think I saw three people all day, and they came in while he was there. The couple of hours before he came and the couple after he left, not a soul came in.

Tomorrow's my mom's b-day. We all have to work. Maybe I should see about picking her up something in Athens, like some b-day cupcakes or such. Maybe donuts?

Hmmm, that's all I can really think about right now.

Merry Christmas!

I spent the morning working on my english portfolio and have now completed it...3 hours before it was due. Go me! That very seldom ever happens, but I didn't want to take the chance of doing it later and the website freeze b/c so many people were trying to upload their portfolios as well. Either way, I am now done with my english class for the semester. Tomorrow I have to write a paper for my lit class to be turned in when I begin my final on Monday. Then I have to do some major studying for my history final on Wednesday. I am not looking forward to that one. The last few days of the week I have to work 8-5:30 on Thurs and Fri, then 8-5 on Sat. Not really looking forward to that either, but money is good. Must be able to pay tuition and buy textbooks next semester.

Apparently my math professor raised everyone's grade 10%. Maybe I can pull out a D >:(  Either way, don't care. That class it over for the semester and I refuse to think about it anymore. So there.

No, that's not morbid at all. Tis the Season!

Today was my last day in my math class. I am so happy. I hated this class! It wouldn't have been so bad, but the problems he gave us were always much more advanced than what we should be able to do. I mean the grad student tutors who are there to tutor this class couldn't do some problems. One guy in my class actually plugged in one of our homework problems and the computer said it was a Real Analysis problem. Real Analysis is a 4000-level class, so much more advanced than my 3100 class. Another girl got help once from one of her other math professors and he said the problems were higher than 3100. Pretty much everyone is flunking this class. It's not offered in the summer and you can't take it at any other school b/c this is specifically at UGA class. I don't even care what I get in it. I'm just glad it's now over.

I saw Jill Martin today. She was waiting for a bus as I was walking to class. She's in grad school at UGA. She's the second grad student from OU I've seen here. Makes me feel really old and behind :( But anywho, I'll finish when I finish.

My tummy is rumbling, so I'm going to find something to eat. 

Tomorrow is my last day of Thanksgiving Break. I'm so not ready to go back to school. Mostly because I have done squat amt of homework so far.  Saw my dad and Colleen for about an hour last night. They were on their way back to Tennessee from Florida. I haven't seen Colleen since last summer or my dad since about New Year's, so that was nice. My cousin had a baby this morning, a little girl. I think she named her Hannah, but it could have been Anna. Stupid cell phones, can't hear anything on them ;) Started helping my mom put up Christmas lights. We have a lot we have to replace this year, so I guess we're going to Wal-mart tomorrow. If Bekah pulls down the decorations again this year, mama may kill her ;) Well, I don't know of too much going on right now. Only three more weeks left in the semester! I hope I can make it.
