tuesday

So both today and yesterday I had class but i only have one each day. this semester i am taking 12 hours. 3 hrs are a night class and 3 hrs don't start until February. i just dont know what to do with such an open schedule.

classes for this semester:
Soviet Union (politics)
Pol tics of International Trade Development
Gender and the Middle East
Consumers and Society

random thought: I wish facebook would bring back the option to list your classes. it made networking with classmates that much easier.

I am babysitting for treys lovely god daughter. she is so fun. basically we walk around the house singing and then she falls asleep. so far there have been no crazy mishaps but i am sure i will be writing about them when they happen. I have my fingers crossed that i dont get spit up on and for some reason have to go to class all messy. lol

Today at work I researched the etomology of the word scrotum. (dont ask why) its latin but i was hoping for somthing so much more fun. then i found that the latin for testicles means whitness, so that is more fun. ILS can be so random.

last random comment: I am ready for the new season of big love!

back to school

First i would like to apologize for my last post. i was pissed at the time and being a little bitchy about the whole situation. I have my friends blackberry now (THANKS) and i like it very much. there is only one downside, i havnt figured out an efficient way to put pics on my blog without having the usb cable. becasue i have lots of things i want to share.


i will post again today but i need to finish some scanning. ttyl

stacy

Deal or no deal

So its finals week and last night trey and I were both pulling all nighters. We both wanted to go to bed so we made a deal that from my perspective meant this:

I would let trey sleep from about 4:00-4:35 (strange time i know) and then i would wake him up.
Then trey would let me sleep and wake me up at what ever time i chose (6:00)

sounds like a pretty fair and good plan.
so at 4:45 (i was a little late) i woke trey up. i practically jumped on him to make sure that he would wake up and finish studying. Then after mentioning that i was 10 minuets late he tells me that he has to leave to meet his friend. (this would have been nice information to have before)

After discussing that he will call me at 6 and i will also set an alarm he rushes out. i am very tired at this point and totally skeptacle of the taking a '"nap" in the middle of the night. I agreed because i assumed that he would acctually make sure i woke up. (stupid me)

After sleeping through mulitple alrams and about 8 phone calls from trey i answer half coherently at almost 7. (not the time we discussed) and in that situation i quickly fall back asleep. I didn't regain conciousness until 10:00. which is the time I wanted to go to work.

So its 10 i have to be at work at 12 and i finish at 5. My first of two take home exams is due at 12 (the second at 5) I finish the first exam in time to take my shower to go to work. Why do i ever bother relying on him. obviously i can take time out of my night and try to do a good job at waking him up, but the favor is NEVER recprocated. Do you know how many times i have been his wake up call at 4:30 am on Saturday or Sunday? and he is imcapable of returning the favor.

so rude and selfish.

now i have to settle for working the bare minimum amount of hours that i sign up for this week instead of taking full advantage of my free time, and i dont know when i will complete my 2nd final. but thats not really your fault or his fault. sometimes i want to scream at him. is it really that had to pay back a favor once or twice a semester?? Obviously for some people it is.

Guess who is not waking him up anymore? me. he can have his fucking mother do it.

Finals Week

I dont know it if it is the senioritist kicking in or what, but i have been waiting to do things up until the last minute. I just don't really care about some projects and without being stresses i lack the motivation to work on them. i should really get a head start on my take home exams that are due on Friday, but i feel so blah about them. I wish i could just sit in some classes and absorb the lecture. i would even do readings, but i am over writing papers. I don't think i like take home tests. they require so much more work to regurgitate the same ideas. i would rather take a test with multiple essay questions. then it would be over. i wouldn't have to cite sources and always be 100% grammatically correct. no one can say anything if i misspell words. it is just better all around. during a test you have to manage your time and profs expect that. with take home exams i feel the need to more fully develop an idea (even if the instructions say you dont have to). typing and editing take so much more time then quickly scrawling what you have learned. and the metaled exhaustion and the hand cramp that follow a written test prove that you did a good job. there is no satisfaction in completing a take home exam, you are just relived its over. the high of knowing you got an 'a' on the final just isn't the same. i would rather study hard and ace a test, then procrastinate to finish a half-assed paper.(granted they aren't all half-assed).

if only writing essays were like blogging, or you could go meet your professor and have discuss your topic, it could even be in a forum and people could ask you questions. i just hate the tediousness of papers. the write citation style (different for every class) the b.s. commentary, the flow, let me just make bullets of my points, and lets get to the point all ready. its not like i don't know how to write an awesome paper by now. i feel like its busy work. sure i can complete the 5 page paper for the essay in 1-2 hours tops and do well, but what is the point? i think i have learned more about working under pressure than almost anything else in school.

now i should get back to talking about aging Americans or modern eugenics in america. its all the same.

bye-ya

just one more

i have posted a lot lately.

last night went well. i still need to finish up the paper that is due at 2.

i am in a strange mood, somewhat melancholy but it keeps changing. i started off in a bad mood when i found my cell phone in a puddle of water on the kitchen cabinet. try spilled some water near my phone last night and didn't think to clean it up. so now i am phonless. and quite miffed about it. I don't know how i am going to buy a new phone and how i will be waking up the next few days. i was planning on talking to my mom tonight because ginger had her puppies and i want to hear all about them

then i got to work and Michelle and I put up are amazing christamas facts. if i get the chance later i will definitely post them. they are pretty great.

then my ipod shuffled on to the Carwash... which reminds me of working at joes crab shack in hs and dancing to that song all the time. those were great days.

but after that johnny cash's hurt started playing... a totally different mood.

now its on convoy, yes the trucker song... strange i know

one more thing

I am not a real fan of grammar in general. i think i am jaded by the whole misspelling thing. so many people get totally bent out of shape about it and honestly i dont care.

this leads me to share with you the one spelling/grammar rule i knowingly never follow. i almost ALWAYS ignore it (on purpose). i always wright havn't. i always leave out the 'e' and the best part is i do it on purpose and it makes me happy. i feel like i am giving someone somewhere in the world the middle finger. oh ya grammar guy, grammar enforcer, i dont care and i am lazy!! (look i just left off the apostrophe) I like to think of it as my own form of civil disobediance.

the point is that i am crazy and you never know what i will do next! and remember cougars never sleep. (even kelsey t. my animale specialist agrees) (also i am not a cougar in the older woman who wants to be with younger men type way.... i like older men. i leave the younger ones for my friend lori)

peace

Dead Weak All Nighter Part Deux

today i did in fact request lots of stuff from the library. poor abby didn't seem to like it very much. i have plans for some cds that i want.

tonight i got home and made some tasty tasty chicken parmesan. so good.
then i had to go to my entomology class and we had a bug bowl... oh man did that bring back crazy high school memories. In high school i was in fact on my academic team (crazy i know). just walking into that room with the buzzer system set up brought back some crazy fun memories.

then i went to the honors lounge to work on my term paper for the History of Modern France. I am writing about the changes in the French educational system as a result of their loss in the Franco-Prussian War. woot!

After I got home I took a little break with trey and I forced him to watch that Dog the Bounty Hunter show. it was so worth it too! Not to mention the sweet mullets, overly blond hair adorned with feathers and beads, the extra large boobs and the whole "W.T.ness" of it all. so classy lol

Now I am preparing to work more on my two papers. it is going to be a long night. but that is ok because i am cuddling with steve, my dog, and watching trey attempt to clean out his sinus with a neti cup.

This has been fun but the work must continue, especially if i want to finish by 8:00 tomorrow. I never knew that all-nighters would become this easy. i guess that it what being in college is all about.

I can not wait for finals week. I love finals week! I SERIOUSLY LOVE FINALS WEEK!!!! i love it so much that i wish every week was one big finals week. you study the night before your test, take the test, and rather its good or not you are done!! and you only have to go once that whole week. I was ment for finals week. we are like soul mates.
