Finals Update

I have to work tonight, and my head is still pounding from the British Literature test I took at 7:30 am this morning. Did I study, yes. Did I study correctly, I'm going to go with no on this one. I had no clue how to answer the questions on the test. This doesn't make my professor a dick or a bad teacher, it simply means I was unable to comprehend and correctly answer the questions he was asking. I had a restless night of sleep. My crack head neighbors were thumping their stereo until 3:00 am this morning and then started up again at 6:00 am. The cable company chose today of all days to do work on the lines so I was without internet and Cable until around 1:00 pm this afternoon. I went to the bar and had lunch followed by a white Russian and since I rarely drink it made me giddy this was followed by another white Russian which I could not finish because it was just to much alcohol although I do appreciate the gesture from the sweet old man who bought it for me. I don't have class tomorrow so my plan is to come home from work, stick in some ear plugs and sleep for a really long time and then get up and study for my biology final. The Christmas Tree is Up. Presents are wrapped under the tree and Christmas is right around the corner.

I Almost Killed My Cat!

Yesterday I finally decided to get around to decorating my house for Christmas. I dug out the Keifer. I assembled it in the living room, and then to satisfy my need for a white tree I decided I would spray the green tree with fake snow to give it a nice winter look. I haven't used fake snow since I was a kid. So naturally I looked at the back of the bottle and read the directions, including how to apply and the warnings to follow. This included the big blue letters that stated to KEEP THIS PRODUCT AWAY FROM CHILDREN. This morning I wake up prepared to decorate the tree now that its dried and James informs me that Sadie will not stop licking the Christmas tree. Strange I say the other two cats don't seem to be licking the tree. So he ask me is it ok if she's licking the fake snow off the tree, and I think I don't see why not I read the back of the bottle I don't remember seeing anything about animals. So I go get the bottle and I read through the warnings section again, and in very small letters at the very end of the paragraph is says, "Do Not Let Pets Eat This Product" James immediately gets on the internet to look up the harmful side effects while I quickly dial the vet to find out what I should do. The vet informs me that fake snow has a strong salt base and can cause animals to intake too much liquid which is not good for there kidneys, we then locked all the cats in the bedroom while we tried to quickly unassembled this Christmas tree and put it back in its box. So the cats are alive but we have no Christmas tree, and other than putting it in the shower I have no idea how to get the stupid fake snow off the fake Christmas tree. So I think Friday I may end up purchasing that tree I've been talking about buying for three years now.

A Muppet Kind of Morning.

What do you do when it's 8 in the morning and it's snowing outside. You watch the muppets! At least thats what I am doing. I figure if I have to listen to the freezing snow hit the roof of my trailer then watching A Muppets Christmas Carol would probablly be a good distracting, after all I need to get some sleep at some point.

Things are going good. I was so glad to not have to drive more then 2 blocks this morning, since it is so icky out and although I planned to do my grocery shopping later, it's not a mandatory thing so I may just lounge around and clean my room unless my overwhelming need for hot chocolate kicks in, then I may be forced to drive the 4 blocks to Wal*Mart.

Yesterday was a major cluster bomb I had a surprise inspection at work at 6:00am I then got off work at 7:00 and came home and fell asleep since I had been up all night working and studying. I slept through three alarms and 2 phone calls finally waking up at 1:35pm which would have been fine if I wasn't suppose to be in class at 1:00pm to take My British Literature test. I then proceeded to drive to class yes I actually drove across the street to save 5 minutes which is actually dumb but I was able to find a parking spot. Then I ran inside and thank god my teacher took pitty on me and allowed me to take the test. Which did not go as well as I had hoped. I think had I not been frazzled it would have been a bit better.

After class I went to Pros for half price appetizer and sat and watch my friends get sloshed. I had to work so I was unable to participate. The evening led into our Holiday work party where we bowled and and everyone got extremely toasted. I then walked home (see I'm not completely lazy) and then went to work Woo Hoo! My life is so exciting.

This weekend I want to thoroughly clean my bedroom and my spare room. Decorate my house for christmas and prepare the tree to be decorated.

Did I mention I have a new crush. He's adorable and fun to drool over. Don't know yet if it will lead to anything, but one can always hope!

well it is off for now. Hope my little post was enjoyable!

I would also like to add how grateful I am to be lying in a very warm bed when it is so cold outside, I know that some people are not as fortunate. I am thankful for the things I do have and I think it's important to appreciate the small things we take advantage of like my big fuzzy blue blanket and the three kitty's laying on me keeping me warm!

So Tired.

I think the night shift is getting to me. I am so tired, but I can't seem to go to sleep. So I lay in bed trying to force myself to sleep and in the process I start thinking about everything, and my over active imagination kicks in and next thing you know, I'm in the midst of a full blown panic attack over absolutely nothing. I think I will be happy when the semester is over and I have a month to regroup and reenergize myself. It always seems that at this point things become over whelming and it's hard to keep pushing yourself forward. So I am lying in bed watching Ratatouille I believe it may be raining outside. Hopefully the rain wont interrupt my sleep.

I am at a crossroads yet again, facing decisions I thought had already been made and I'm lost at what to do. I went in for my advising this semester and was sent to academic advising, because once again I was registered an taking classes I already had credit for. Even though I registered based of of my advising session with academic advising this summer. I go to academic advising again, and the woman questions me about why I even want to pursue my bachelors degree and continues to inform me that it is going to take me another 4 and a half years to graduate. Which I ask since I have already been here for a year and a half why it would take me longer to graduate than a normal freshman, and she responded by saying oh I'm sorry I meant 4 and a half semesters at 16 credits a semester and since most classes are 3 credits thats not possible so I'm looking at 5 to 6 semesters and I work full time so 16 credits is next to impossible since the art classes are all studio classes and are 3 hrs long each. Now last semester I was told it would take me 2 years to graduate. A year ago when I came to the school and they looked over all my transcripts I was told it would take me 2 years to graduate so I have no gaurantee that in another year they are not going to tell me the exact same thing. I am so frustrated i feel like I have wasted a lot of time and money although the personal experience has been rewarding. Then today There is a graphic design job in the paper for the newspaper in town. I don't know if this is a coincidence or a sign or what to think. So I'm going to review all of my options. I'm going to send my resume into the news paper, and then I'm going to decided what to do with the rest of my life. I know i have two college degrees, I know that I can get a job, I know that I don't need a bachelors degree, but I really wanted one. But logically I don't think I'm on the right path. I should never have gone to a school who has a coyote as a mascott, I feel like I've been dooped. And maybe I should channel the roadrunner and flee while I still have my sanity.
