Glory

Ok, so what in my day was so filled with glory? Well I’m not so sure, but regardless of that false title everything was fine. I slept in 'till about noon - 1 ish, ate some coca pebbles and then proceeded in doing very little including going to funny web sites rathergood.com, ebaumsworld.com and albinoblacksheep.com. The time came quickly for me to go to work and then I did so. Work was great and all; the patient count was low, less work for me. We could have left at 7:30, but we all decided to take a 1/2 hour break just to balance things out. None of the moronic managers were there so we all did as we pleased and sat a little more just to milk the clock. We left at exactly at 7:53 (that's when the clock rounds up to 8:00) and I headed to my house to "celebrate" my step-dad's birthday. I really don’t like him at all so it was mostly a waste of my time to be there. After that joyous occasion I returned to my dorm and commenced in a bit of note taking and studying, mostly for my stupid chemistry class. I really ought to look at some of the other stuff, but this is the only class that I am actually worried about, perhaps I am just being a naive freshman... I do have a quiz for English on Tuesday over chapter 2 which will probably suck because the quiz over chapter 1 was hella tough and I got my ass saved because she let us use the book. At least I have an idea what will be on the quiz so that way maybe I can gauge the amount of studying necessary. I am not looking forward to math class tomorrow just because it is so freaking easy, I sit there and stare off into space and think everyone in that class is either A) completely stupid or B)... just completely stupid. I know I am sounding really mean, but seriously, this class is pud and everyone around me is one step behind the teacher and I am two steps ahead of him. I also dread going to that god forsaken chemistry class. I am trying to figure out how he does some of the math stuff, but he can’t teach worth crap. I googled him and found out that he is a really great scientist and has some of his work printed in science journals and what not. I really think that he should focus on researching instead of teaching. Also tonight I went on my first 1:00AM doughnut run. It was an awesome and thrilling experience, little exaggeration there. It was cool to meet some of the other RA's and some of the other people on the floors below us. I had a good time and when we all hang out like that we all learn stuff about each other, which may or may not be a good thing :P Well I better start thinking about going to bed since I have a class tomorrow, so ya, night.

Wonderful Wonderful

Alright nothing today was particularly wonderful, but it really wasn’t all that bad either. My day began bright and early at 7: so I could make it to Psychology by 8:00. That class went just fine, nothing to difficult there since I remembered stuff from last year and my fumbling the night before with the mastery questions. I made it back to the room only to take a nap because I was still really tired. I re-awoke around 11 ish and ate the turkey sandwich that was making the fridge smell. I then headed to English class, which also by the way went fine. We had a quiz over chapter one, but thank god that it was an open book quiz. I really didn't read in-depth enough to even get half the answers correct. There was only one question that I wasn't sure if I gotten right, but nevertheless getting a 90% isn't bad. I looked at the syllabus for my nutrition class to figure out why we haven't been having any assignments and come to realize that every assignment is a group project. Oh god do I hate group projects, I always get stuck doing most or all of the work. Some people have a severe lack of motivation when it comes to group activity and I’m the one to pick up the slack usually because I don't want a sucky grade. Just this evening (like 1/2 hour ago) I went over to Tiffany's room to help her and her roommate get their computers printing. I got that working smoothly and now they are all happy. Work was as good as it gets today. Like usual nothing special going on there. I came in almost late as usual and got put doing the tray line, which is fine with me. The managers didn't bother me any so everything went well. Actually Glenda left "a little early" (is that legal?) so it let some stress off of everyone else. We then managed to waste enough time to get an extra 1/2 hour of pay ]:> (That’s my best devil man). I came back to the room and then messed around for a while. I am slightly concerned in the fact that I am parking off campus in a residential area where some vandals might come and ruin what little car I have left. I was going to buy a parking pass but the people that I called were impatient and rude with my questions I had to ask. And besides, is it really worth buying a pass when I am not even guaranteed a parking spot? Well I see that I have begun my senseless rambling, which is alright with me. I think that maybe I should arrange the text into nice paragraphs, but no, I don't feel like taking the time to re read this and then perhaps edit out something that may be life changing to my readers..... Do I have readers????

Well again there was not much interesting going on yesterday. I found out that I don't have Wubbels for Chem Lab so that huge relief. I took some expansive notes for my Nutrition class and I hope to get my psychology ones completed today. I really cant remember much else going on yesterday so that's all you get.

Incredible News... Not really

Today was my second day of classes. I got up for my 8:00AM class of Psychology. I think I will really like this class a lot. I loved Psychology when I took it last year and hopefully we can go more in depth on the topics. After a lengthy break, in which I did my horrible Chemistry homework, I left for lunch and then to my English class. I am also really excited about this class because the teacher is really cool about everything and seems pretty open to new ideas and such. Work was regular as usual, nothing to exciting. People were somewhat more needy tonight, but that was fine with me since it is part of my job to help them and all. Helping the people out at work is maybe my favorite part besides eating all the time too. Nevertheless, I have to drag myself to a boring Algebra class tomorrow. I already completed the homework for the entire week so I think it will be waste of time. I am interested in the nutrition class because I don't have a solid opinion on the teacher yet, I need some more time for observing. And finally my day will end with dreaded Chemistry with stupid Wubbles. Everyone I have talked to hates him, so I will trudge myself though the class and hopefully still get an A. I also met some people who have taken his class so they can assist me if I need help too, thanks guys! Ok i'm going to sleep now.

Finally!

Ok first of all I must apologize to people who actually read this on a daily basis. I have been really really busy getting college started that I never bothered to find time to write something new. I was attempting to write something yesterday but the with horrible the bandwidth problems, or constraints (not sure which) I lost patience. Nevertheless, today was my first day of class. I had no problems so far and my classes seem easy enough. I did the weeks worth of Algebra assignments so I could concentrate on my Chemistry because that class will be awful. Different people have told me that I have the worst Chem teacher possible so this will be interesting. Otherwise the teacher in my foods class really reminds me of my stupid boss Glenda at work. Hopefully that will not interfere with class..... Another side note, my Algebra class is almost entirely online, something very new to me. I still like to do the paper pencil thing, but I think this helps out the teachers a lot. Tomorrow I have Psychology in the morning and then English a little later. Hopefully I will have a good Psychology teacher because I like that class a lot and I seriously want to learn something. English will be a breeze I think, so no worries there. I better get to bed soon because I have a 8:00AM class tomorrow :p

Recent News

Alright I haven't done this in a while but I have been extremely busy. I am sorry to say that I cant think of anything sarcastic about anything recently just because I don't remember. But to state the obvious to everyone I have moved out of the house and now I am in room 327 of Randall Hall. Hopefully I can write something a little more entertaining tonight.

A Relatively Good and Normal Day

Like everyday my day began at 9:00 AM, but then I didn't get up; slept in an extra hour, my bad. I played a bit of the Xbox and by the way, I am getting much better at Extreme Beach Volleyball. Lisa and Tina have been partners from day one and I have made over 500,000 Zacks. Now by day seven I seem to be loosing a few more games. I don’t want Tina to leave, so I fear loosing too many matches. Went to work, everything ran as smoothly as possible despite of the high patient count, so no real complaints there besides people take care of yourself so I have less work to do! It is finally hitting my parents that I am moving out on Friday and now they are trying to be really helpful. Too bad for them, I have made arrangements for moving already so I won't need their help. Besides that they were all like "you are welcome here anytime... you can wash clothes here... get a free meal here..." and on and on. Well that's great and all but really sometimes I can't stand to be at home so how much I actually return home will be some what random, more or less just to do laundry. Hopefully my feelings will change after I leave, but for now I can't wait to get out.

Standard Day

Today was, yet again, a pretty standard day. I woke up at 9:00 AM and then got bored so I played Xbox. Just in case anyone cares, I am playing Burnout 2 and Extreme Volleyball. After that I mowed the lawn, joy... You've read my other posts. One interesting thing was that I mowed over these huge weeds behind the shed, they were about 2 foot tall and I just mowed them all over, a little destructive fun. I then proceeded to waste the day somehow and then went to work. Work today sucked as usual. I was working on the tray-line and the coffee machine decided to act up. The "brilliant" management in our department, obnoxious Glenda and loud Jan, took a stab at fixing the machine. They never got it to work although at one point Jan thought she had it fixed and yelled "I am woman! Hear me roar!" We managed to finish the tray-line just in time for me to deliver it to skilled. We took coffee from the cafe so the patients could get their addictive drink. Otherwise we poked around and took our time because we really don't care. Today was Ariel's last day at work so that further caused us to be slow. I got home and ate a sandwich and looked at my email only to find some strange Japanese spam. It was all in Japanese so it really confused me. In the end it ended up being for some dating serve that probably wasn't even real in the first place. I proceeded to play a few games of Warcraft 3 with Ry and Ryan. I am still not the greatest but I didn't get last place either. Ok that's all, I'm going to bed now.

Yet another day...

Today I worked outside, something which I loathe doing. I helped make some shelves for the shed in the backyard. In all honesty it wasn't that bad, but I didn't enjoy it. I also went to the mall to order my contacts which will come in sometime next week, how exciting... I did get some free sunglasses, but they were nothing spectacular. They will probably find themselves in the sell pile of the next garage sale or stomped on because I threw them on the floor of the car. I woke up today at 9:00AM in hopes of training myself to get into a normal sleeping pattern. There is nothing to do in the morning; I sat there playing Xbox endlessly. Now think, would it be better to sleep or spend endless hours playing Xbox?? I choose the former, but it might not be the greatest idea. Well that basically sums up my day, so you are done reading now.

OK I lied, I did a little more. Ry showed me how to play warcraft 3 for a while, which only wasted more of my time and caused mass confusion to all my peeps on the messenger. Sorry for ya'lls that I never got back to, i'm not mad at you! I couldn't here the notifications! I would have to say that my skills have improved slightly, but many countless hours of playtime will be necessary to become a great player...

Humm....

I am not sure why I am even beginning another blog, as my last one on Xanga was a complete failure. Perhaps interesting things will happen during my college experience that is worth documenting for all to see...
