All of the sudden, Wuthering Heights has gone from a book I just wanted to read ‘someday’ to something I have to read RIGHT NOW, I’m not sure why. I’m thinking it would be fun to listen to it on my ipod from a library cd instead of reading it since it might be easier for me to get through.
This year- although still single, I actually had a chance because I’m 21 now and I imagine it’s pretty easy to get a drunk stranger to kiss you at midnight at the bar! Alas, I stayed home. Everyone planned to go out and then no one wanted to…See this page next year, I guess!
I gave my (Grease-obsessed) 5-year-old daughter this Pearl Goldfish for V-Day…let’s hope he lasts awhile. Good luck, Danny Zuko!
The best I’ve been doing is continue to plunk away on what seems like an easy one (also my favorite), Fur Elise. I’ve been practicing on my cousin’s keyboard which tells you step by step how to do it. Still hasn’t gotten through yet though lol
I bought it on eBay this week but when they called to confirm I expressed concerns over the lack of shipping insurance and they offered me a different package that I’m considering.
So…close.
It was a pretty good show. Very shitty turnout though, especially for an all-ages show. The lead singer was sexy as hell though…not unusual for lead singers! Loved the suits as well, but their opening band played much longer than they did and there was a long time between sets.
Math- A
Bio- C
Short Stories- A (well ALMOST an A…so close!)
Ethics- B (as of now…could possibly turn into a C)
DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!
I made it through. I got an A in my math class, an ALMOST A in my writing class, a C in bio and a B in ethics (unless my teacher notices the extra points he accidentally gave me…then I get a C)
Thank god that’s over. On to the next daunting task: finding an apartment and moving 2 1/2 hours away for my new school… :(
I know some people feel funky about it; I did before as well, but once I was old enough to check yes or no on the organ donor question on my driver’s license, I checked yes without thinking.
A close family member has Lupus and needed a kidney this year. Luckily, we found a match within the family (even though they weren’t blood related) but it made me realize how much organs are needed and just how much one donated organ can save and how it can affect an entire family.
If you’re not convinced, try on those shoes- be that person in the hospital bed, be the mother or father of the child who needs an organ, be the daughter or son watching your parent suffer.
Do one last good deed as you leave the world and donate your organs and save a life; save a family.
In my travel journal to the wonderful cheeseburger I had while at the Hard Rock Cafe in Athens. Now this could very well be because it was one of the last days of my trip and I had been eating pretty sparsely due to short funds but really…that was a damn good cheeseburger.
Most of group went to a Three Tenors-like dinner with a show and drinks and food but I’m happy with my little Hard Rock Cafe experience- and I’m especially proud for figuring out how to get there on the Metro!
I’ve also been to Hard Rock Cafe Minneapolis and Hard Rock Cafe Rome.
Even if you stay on track and study and don’t have late papers or discussions to do, finals suck the way it is. Of course, I DO have late papers, quizzes, and discussions to make up as well as finals.
I know I’ll come out alive on the other side of this week but I’m hoping I come out alive with my GPA intact.
I have 4 classes and have to do (this is more for myself):
Ethics:
-discussion on Kantian Decision Making Procedure
-paper on …something.
-quiz
-final exam
Short Stories:
-essay
-final exam
-extra credit paper
Algebra (an at-your-own-pace class):
-14 quizzes
-4 tests
Biology
-lab
-quiz
It’s the ethics and the algebra that are going to kill me. Mostly the ethics 5 page long essay on god-knows-what and the million math quizzes that are only 10 questions each but still.
Not to mention this is my last week at my old job and I start training for my new job and working at my new job this week.
Since this week actually starts Monday the 5th, I’ll check back by at least Monday the 12th. If I haven’t, assume that College Finals have claimed yet another victim.
My grandma has been giving my daughter clothes since she was born. She puts little red X’s on the tags so I know which ones to give back to her. Problem is, I’m not very organized and now live 3 hours away. So you can imagine, as my daughter is now 5, the amount of red X’d clothing I have stuffed into closets.
Now every time I see her, talk to her on the phone, or even get mail from her, all I hear is “You know, I would really appreciate those clothes back that she’s grown out of.” Which is very reasonable…but I am not looking forward to spending $2 a load to wash multiple loads of laundry and then sort and fold them and cart them 3 hours away.
But, I am putting faith in the mental power that 43things gives me and hopefully I will find the strength to get this fucking thing off my list. :)
I went in on 3 days ago and got my tattoo. I chose to get the word “Italia” on my wrist to remind me of my time I spent in Italy which really meant a lot and changed a lot of things for me.
I got it facing me even though a lot of people have wrist tattoos facing the other way, but this way I can read and since it’s mine and for me, it made sense.
It hurt quite a bit in the middle of my wrist but it actually felt kind of good when she did the outer wrist. I never look when people are inserting needles for blood or plasma so I didn’t look most of the time.
It was $60 and I am so happy with it. it’s a little annoying when people say “What does it say? What does Italia mean?” but oh well…like I said- it’s for me.
I cleaned out my bookcase yesterday and found three blank copies of a health directive so that should get me started. I don’t know if I want to do it alone or sit down with my mom and do it. It’s weird.
It’s weird how easy this game is to pick up. I beat easy last week and I’ve only played a little more than a handful of times at my brother’s house starting around Christmas.
I didn’t think I’d be able to do medium because my little finger is kind of bent. Not bent in a “oh my god, what the fuck is wrong with your finger?!” way but in a way that I never noticed until I tried to play Guitar Hero and I needed an excuse to explain why I sucked!
I’m getting better on Medium but am stuck on this stupid battle with that idiot Tom Morello. I hate him.
My Aunt recently went into the hospital for a kidney transplant after struggling with Lupus for 15 years and kidney failure for a year. It didn’t go as well as we thought it would and as of today, she’s been in the hospital for two weeks.
She says she isn’t even craving cigarettes and that she thinks she won’t have a problem staying off them as long as we take the cartons out of her house before she gets home.
I can’t check this off my list yet- we’ll have to see how it goes after she comes home, but I really hope this works.
My brother’s girlfriend and I were having one of those talks girls have where you can just say anything and be open and honest (sometimes referred to as being drunk!) and she said something that’s really made me think.
She told me that I have such a strong personality, she was scared of me when she met me. I said that wasn’t true and she reminded me that I punched her (just a little!) but I told her that was only because I was protective of my brother.
She still thinks that my personality is too strong and that I am a bitch sometimes. She was actually shocked no one had ever told me that. I perceive myself as outgoing and charismatic, lol! I do realize that I can be a little overwhelming for people who are used to being very shy and silent when they meet people so now I am worried that it’s turning people off.
As far as the bitch part goes -I do need to realize that I am crabby way more often than I used to be which makes me be a bitch to certain people. I just never thought of myself that way because I am always nice to strangers. I hold doors, start conversations, comment people on their hair, am understanding people working in customer service, etc.
I’m glad she said something, though. I am going to watch myself now and try to tone it down a little bit and make sure I am not being crabby and taking it out on people. An even better place to start would be to take care of the things that are making me crabby- my weight, a certain friend, school, money…
