Despite the college, let's face it, Clemson and surrounding area is a wee little town. BUT don't tell me that small towns won't surprise you quite frequently. I just only noticed that Issaqueena fire tower like 2 years ago on the way to school at Daniel one day. Just yesterday I was driving down 76...you know right there where that shopping center is with Monterrey's and Skins'? There was some old, teal, rusty water tower behind that. I have never seen that thing for the 17 1/2 yrs. I have lived her e. Where did that thing come from? It's also surprising that about 5 sandwich shops less that 100 ft. from each other can all be in business at once. We all know where my loyalty lies...
Anyway, my first psych test is on Monday, and I am NOT "psyched" about it. My God, I am funny.

I got the inspiration for this blog from class last night. I've met people who are perfectly nice, but it makes you think. College can erase a past, almost. It's a place where your reputation can't easily follow quite yet. If you were a slut in high school you could go to college and close your legs and no one would ever know you were the girl that did the entire football team. If you were a nerd, it's a place to finally break out and show the outgoing potentially popular side. If you were a bitch, but wished you were nicer, it's a clean slate to actually be a nice person. Although, a friend of mine brought up an interesting point. Keeping in mind that your reputation doesn't follow so easily, she said she missed being popular. In high school she was the best dressed and nicest person. In college? She still has the same personality but the same reputation? If you saw someone you had never met before and they were popular in their own world, would you look at them and say they were popular? Or would they just be another person? I look at some of the people at school, and let's face it, there are people whom you can tell who they were in high school, but they have a fresh start, and in college as long as people are nice to you, you don't really care, because unlike high school you are in college pretty much by choice. High school if someone was nice, it didn't matter quite as much as the status. Now, things might be different and different schools, like Clemson (I'll have to ask Kimie). College is definitely a transition, but I don't think some people realize the changes.

This blog is dedicated to all my friends. I realized hearing story after story that men are scum and, well they aren't suave. Take for instance one of my friends, we'll call her *Beatrice. Beatrice and I, coincedentally enough have dated the same guy. Not at the same time ar anything like that. I dated him about a year before she did. This guy, we'll call *Mark. Mark was...a character. He though he was God's gift to women (several at the same time I found out). Well, Beatrice quickly learned her lesson. This guy actually asked her if they could "make sweet whoopie" When she first told me this I was in pure shock "make sweet whoopie?" seriously? After the initial shock I could do nothing but...laugh. And I still laugh histerically even now. After asking her 4 times if she was being serious, I began to believe he really said this trying to be sexy. Ok, well...1.) Beatrice doesn't do that...2.) Even if she was on the fence, I doubt, as appealing as his invitation sounded, that would persuade her anyway. He also thought that randomly biting her would be hot...he had braces. Also, for every time he asked her to make "sweet whoopie" (yes, i'm afraid more than once) he wanted to in the "king tut position" I ask again...seriously? what does this mean? Am I just naive and I don't know what this is? Or is it possible that this term was used around the time "making whoopie" was?
Having a heart may not always come in handy. Take my other friend...*Jessica. Jessica pitied this poor loser who didn't have a prom date, we'll call him *Floyd. She ended up having to go on a date with him...although in her mind it wasn't a date. Now this is the guy that's overly nice and thinks he's romantic. He invited himself in her house, asked to see her room, she said no, but he went in her room anyway, jumped on the bed and patted it...*insert nervous laughter* Poor Jessica finally rounded him in the living room where he wanted to watch a movie...there was no getting rid of this guy. He then proceded to try to hold her hand and smell her ear, then asked "Is this Ok?" Ok, now that's 2 guys that have asked really stupid questions. If you have to ask, it already ISN'T going to happen. Needless to say she was thoroughly disgusted, jumped off the couch shouting we're just friends. Also, prom night he asked her if she was ok? because he could tell when she was happy by the "sparkle in her eyes." Ew.
I'll add more to this blog when I can think of it. I was tired of writing the same blog about myself.
*Names have been changed to protect the nasty and the violated.

suppose to fall so easily into place? Doesn't seem like they are! So on my list of things to do this week, was to call my cousin. She works as an RN at the Anderson Hospital. I was going to see if she could give me some kind of info. on the Radiology program that the Anderson Hospital offers. Well, I was going to call her Friday, BUT today she calls my mom at work to give her the phone number of the lady who coordinates the program. My cousin also mentioned they come out making like $30 an hr. My mom gave me her number and I called her while the phones were down at work. She said I called just in time, all applications have to be in by Feb. 28th. She's mailing out a packet of info today including the application. I have to finish it ASAP and I could be accepted into the program in July of this year. Crazy, huh? I'm so excited but so scared I won't get accepted. :(

Ok, sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I actually had a social life! haha. Trey came home Friday, we ate enchiladas at my house, then went to his house to hang out with Ryan and April, his parents and his grandma. Me and his dad were on the same team, then Ryan and his grandma. We played Rook...which I am starting to get really good at! It's a lot of fun, and a family tradition for them, the get all into it, it's so cute actaully. Anways, we played cards until 1 in the morning and Trey took me home and I just crashed. BUT we had to be up early to take the infested cats to the vet. We waited around the bank for someone to fax a Bill of Sale so Trey could sell his boat. The punks never faxed it, so we finally left. We went to Firehouse (aw yea, I had me a Hook and Ladder, and Jena you are right that is a dang good sub, even though my favorite will always be the Engine Company sub.) Anyways, we hung out took a nap and Trey went back home to get his boat ready to sell. I went to get him and then we went out to dinner. We decided to try out the new Eddie Spaghetti place. I give 2 thumbs up. Very good. After that we rented Phantom of the Opera, which we didn't really get into so we stopped it when Ryan called. We went to Ryan and April's to hang out, watched a little Friends...Ryan and April have recently fallen under the "Friends" spell!!! YAY! They are starting to collect the seasons. They have 8,9,10 so far. I told them I have them all and we talked up a Friends storm while Trey rolled his eyes. He's going to become a fanatic if it kills me! Well, we decided to watch "Limony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events", which I loved. I bought it, but hadn't actually watched it until Saturday. After the movie April and I talked for like 2 hours while the guys had their "guy talk" in the next room. haha. Sunday was just lazy like always. All of us had lunch at Trey's parents' house, Salmon, baked potato, salad...mmm mmm. Trey's dad can cook up some Salmon! Well, in the middle of lunch the guy came to look at the boat, so Trey took him out on the lake...I passed, way too cold...and I looked for a bill of sale online. I finally found one and took it to him. The guy bought the boat for his son, that must be nice! Then we went to my house, hung out till church went to Firehouse again to please Trey's bottomless pit then back to my house to watch "Something's Gotta Give". Then he left and went home to get some sleep before his drive this morning..he got up at like 4 in the morning...I don't think so, I wouldn't do that in a million years. Anyways, that's a re-cap of my weekend. All the stuff I won on Ebay is starting to come in! yay. I love Ebay, but I have to chill before I go broke. No school today for MLK day! That ryhmed. Well I'm going home after work to read a little Wicked, have a nice, warm dinner and go to bed early for the vicious cycle starts this week. Only 3 days of school this week though, so it's all good.

So this is how my life breaks down until April 27th. I go to work from 9-5 then 2 classes from 5:40 to 8:40 Monday through Thrusday. I get home around 9:15 and I'm ready to crash. How am I going to have time to do homework AND sleep which I love so dearly? I bought my books today and only had to pay $120...my scholarship covered $150. So total of the books: $270. *phew* Exactly when did it get so expensive to print paperback books? Oh wait, it didn't they just like to suck ALL the money out of students with no regard of the fact that they have to pay tuition, possibly rent, car payments, insurance, bills, etc. Anyways, I am so dreading psychology. Just looking at my professor makes me wanna die, especially because he sports a velvet blazer (oh no). I'm not even sure how I'll have time to eat anymore. If things get bad I'm just going to have to tell James I can't come into work until 10:00, I mean a girl has to sleep...and eat...and study...without a social life. Although, social life can be left for Friday, I don't have school on Fridays! Woo Hoo! That is probably the only good thing about Trey coming home every other weekend. I doubt I would have time to see him except on the weekends anyway. Well, enough of my mindless bitching, I just need to realized that life is going to suck for a little while, and I just need to work my butt off.

So I have my next 2 classes tonight. English 101 with Ms. Swanson and HIS 202 (American History 1877-Present) I'm excited English and history are my strengths. I got an e-mail at work from a customer named Carl Woodcock and said he hopes I and my co-workers choke to death laughing at the fact that his order got messed up...not our fault. The Kris told me about some guy from her hometown named Glasscock. Poor folks. Bethany and I had a discussion on how people got last names like that. Were their ancestors the first to make glass or wood dildos? makes you wonder. Anyways enough of the dirtiness, I had a nice little lunch at my favorite place Pendleton Cafe with one of my favorite places - Jena. She said she would help me out with psych when I needed it, cause well she's like a genius. And, she asked me to give her a name for her phone and I said Sex Panther...she was typing it in when T9 word (and if you dont know what that is you don't own a cell phone) took over and typed in "Panties" for her, so that is the story of how Jena's phone got named...not Sex Panther, but Sex Panties. Well, I am just dirty today!

School starts today. Oh gee, I can't wait. I am SO tired, I'm not taking Sunday naps again! I was tired, but then started thinking about school, and the more I thought the longer I stayed up, I read a little bit of Wicked, and then finally went to sleep. I can't believe I have 3 hours of non-stop class, clearly I did not think this through. Work all day, school all evening then go home to collapse. Maybe it won't be that bad. Today's classes: CPT 170 from 5:40 to 7:05 and Psy 201 from 7:15 to 8:40. What a snooze-fest. Tomorrow I have the more interesting classes English and History. So this weekend was boring, I did literally nothing, unless you count my uncontrollable urge to be on Ebay something, although I did read alot in Wicked this weekend. I'm more than halfway done, even though by now, I should have been long done and halfway through another book. Ah laziness.

are weird. This morning I'm all pissed and depressed...just read the previous blog and now I'm all upbeat..although here are probably the reasons why:
1. I just had coffee
2. I got my classes in order (i got Ms. Swanson for Eng. 101!!!)
3. Get to hang out with my girls tomorrow night and exchange really late Christmas presents.
I'm so productive at work. Kris (my co-worker) told me that when offices aren't cold employees have a higher productivity rate. I'm finding out this is very true.
Also, my advisor at school sucks...

- Hormones... -
|
|
SUCK. Why is it only girls have to deal with these things? And men don't understand what's it's like at all! We're up we're down we're like a freakin one-woman circus. I mean this week alone I've cried like 7 times. I'm tired of morons that call in at work, I'm tired of people pissing me off, I'm tired of getting upset for no reason and im tired. Bethany and I were having this conversation this morning. She was telling me that she's cried everyday since saturday at least twice, once because Jena wanted to go running and again for no reason. I cried because my blanket wouldn't fold right. I've cried once because I put the shoes on the the wrong feet. Now most men might think this behavior crazy, but I would like to challenge them to grow a uterus and other female apparatus. Let's see how well you can take the hormones, the cramps, the pain and misery. I might just be exaggerating, but AM I? AM I? I honestly feel bad for Trey at this point, but I can't help it!

- Ebay is... -

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

ADDICTIVE! I've bid on like 7 things tonight, I really hope I don't win them all. They each have like 2 days left so the likelihood of that is like zip. If I do win and don't want it I can always not pay, wait for them to relist and to avoid bad feedback tell them I was out of town on a family emergency and didn't have access to a computer....if it matters that much. ANYWAYS, I bought JJ The Little Mermaid for Christmas off of Ebay. I won it on like Dec. 1st...he didn't ship it for 3 weeks, even though I paid immediately and I didn't receive it for Christmas. I acutally received it today. I already filed for a refund from the bum and got it, and NOW it shows up. I am REALLY tempted to keep it, but that's pretty wrong. Dont you think? Anyway, someone make me stop bidding, I need to save money! I get paid tomorrow, so I'm not worried about it. Ok, I'm going to take a shower, then off to bed. Talk to you cats later and look out for Ebay.

- Crack and pretzel sticks -
|
|
Well I finally took down my little Christmas tree! I know, how redneck of me to keep it up so long. I'm freezing at work, surprise. All I want to do is go home crawl in my nice warm bed, watch some Friends and take a nap. Taking Monday off helped make my week go by faster but I'm ready for the weekend, although who isn't? I'm convinced pretzel sticks are laced with crack or something. They are so addictive I can't stop eating them. I'm craving coffee, but I really shouldn't, makes me too jittery, evidence of previous posts. These pretzel sticks kind of taste like mint...weird.

Whether you believe it or not, it happens. Here's the dilemma: I registered early for classes, signed up for 4. Then I thought, well I'm working, taking night classes, what if it's all just too much? I reduced my schedule to just 3 classes, englishm, psych and a computer class. Well, literally the day after all this I get a letter in the mail saying I have the Life scholarship, which is great. Or is it? I called my advisor the next day and she tells me that she's leaving and everyone's on break and I have to wait until registration on Jan. 3rd. Well I go there today, which is indeed Jan 3rd. My advisor tells me it's not until tomorrow, January 4th, but to go to the financial aid place anyway just to see. I wait in a line for like 45 mins only to have Miss 80's tell me that thre's nothing I can do, all my classes will be dropped. So here I am leaving, pissed, upset because I have to come back in the morning, bright and early, wait for 3 hrs. for something so simple. AND I might not even get in the classes I need at the times I need them. So I'm balling on the phone with Trey, he makes me feel a little better and I'm going back to work, we say bye and right then my phone starts ringing. It's a Pendleton number...I pick up and it's a lady from school telling me she had to cancel one of my classes because I'm the only one signed up haha. Then she asks me if I want her to put me in another class. I tell her what happened so she says, hey why don't I put you in 2 classes to fill up your schedule and you can change them later if you don't want them, that way we can get your scholarship in place and you can keep the classes you need. I'm blown away. So we set up 2 more classes and I'm going back after work to get everything squared away. My first thought was wow God was looking out for me. I can't believe how good he is to me.

|

Charleston this weekend was alot of fun! Trey and I got some alone time together and I LOVE his condo. He's so good at picking stuff out and making it work together. It's still has a ways to go but he has such great ideas. I bought Cash a scratching post so he won't tear the condo to shreds. Saturday night we watched "From Hell" with Johnny Depp...I don't get that movie really, I think I missed something. We ended up falling asleep, and said "Happy New Year" at 12:01...woops. Trey doesn't have his cable set up yet so we didn't really count down. Sunday was just a laaazy day we fell asleep after lunch, went downtown at night to walk around, got rained on a little which of course made my hair do crazy things and Trey got to see what humidity does to my hair. "It's the humidity!"  And I got some saltwater taffy for JJ and some for myself. She was pretty excited. Anyways, Monday was another rainy day, we had lunch and I had to say goodbye, which kills me every time. Weird how you can see someone all weekend and that makes you miss them even more afterward. The drive home was uneventful and boring and pretty much depressing. Although Monday night cheered me up a little. I met JJ and Phillip for Sushi...made a mistake ordering, but I don't wanna talk about it! haha. let's just say we ate ALOT of sushi, but we showed them what's up! After that we went to Phillip's apt. and did what we always do...absolutely nothing. We laughed too much which made my already full stomach hurt even more, but I needed it. What would I do without my friends? Man I miss Charleston.

- The Wild Mouse 2 -
|
|
 So Friday night I get into Charleston and I turn my phone off, but then I went to send a text message and turn it back on and I had some weird welcome screen I had never seen before. Instead of the Verizon one I got an LG welcome. That's when a message popped up saying "Initial Programming Needed"...well that was weird. So I turn it on and off again...nothing. So Saturday I take it by the Verizon store, and surprise they can't fix it. But, I was eligible for an upgrade, so I picked out that little beauty up there. She's the LG VX5200 and her name: The Wild Mouse 2. I love her already. She has some sucky ringtones, but that can be fixed. I did add unlimited txt messaging to verizon customers cause Trey kept making me go over. haha. So that was one thing that happened while in Charleston. The Wild Mouse 1 had a good run, and I will miss him dearly. He was 3 years old and lived a long happy life. I'm just going to take a moment of silence for Wild Mouse 1, you helped me stay connected haha. :)
