I've spent the last couple days trying to speed the PC at home up. I'm so glad I have a laptop.
I was greatly discouraged to discover the reason of my Sims 3 failing to work. I don't have a supported video card, which irritates me greatly. This is the reason I've been trying to speed up the PC. I finally got everything done; spyware, malware, anti-virus (though I can't really figure out how to move the virus to the quarantine with the dumb program my mom has), and registry. I thought everything was going to be ok, and then the CD wouldn't read in the drive. So I'm trying one last thing - Microsoft Fix It. I really hope this works or I will need to get myself a new laptop. This one is fine, but I wouldn't mind a video card that worked, and I'm not about to pay to replace it.
Life and things of interest, maybe some musings and initial thought processes.

Some Days
First off, I woke up with a stomach ache when I wanted to wake up early and work out because I'm getting fat again. So I woke up an hour later, fed the dogs, and made some breakfast. Lexi, the big idiot she is, climbed up on the couch with me and decided that it was time to play, knocking the coffee out of my hand. At least it landed on some newspaper and not my clothes or the carpet. Showered, left the house a little later than I wanted, and realized about halfway through my commute that I had left my marketing binder at home. The binder with the first attempt of my quiz in it. The binder with my marketing book in it. FML.
But then I found a parking spot. But I'm still irritated. Maybe I can convince Justin to grab it from my house and meet me somewhere so I don't have to go all the way back home. What a waste of gas that would be. UGHHHH.
Oh goody. I just checked the quiz and I can print the attempt out. Now all I need to do is find a marketing book.

Fur Party.
No, it's not what you're thinking, you dirty dirty person. I'm dying my hair tonight with Justin for the first time in maybe two years or so. I'm excited about that.
I knew it was going to be a good day when I couldn't find a non-metered spot and then I pulled into a metered spot with two hours on it. You can imagine my elation (does that make sense in context?). Then, just when I thought the day couldn't get better, it did. I was waiting outside my Eastern religions class and decided to check my email, when the second surprise of my day happened - my 3:45 class was cancelled! Hooray. On a lame note, I have to drive 45 minutes out to school tomorrow for a 50 minute class. I'm mad at my one Friday class. Why couldn't it have just been a Monday/Wednesday class? What a dumb... idea. Also, this weekend will be filled with assignments for stats (gag), marketing, and Eastern religions. Boo.
Anyway, I just thought I would share my good fortune. Well, I thought I had good fortune, until I realized the amount of bullshit work I have to do this weekend.
Things that are better and more interesting than school:
Best companies to work for in 2011.
Ewwww,
This is hilarious and she shouldn't be lawsuiting anyone for something that happened out of her not paying attention.
The mafia still exists? Or existed?
This is kind of cute.
Non-healthy kids food.
Makeup is important.
Compton.
JFK.
Wal Mart doing something good?
These pictures are stunning.
Curing the sweet tooth.

Another Day
Another day, another fight. This is getting stupid and ridiculous. I'm not sure why we always have to fight, but we do, and its irritating. That's as far as I'm going to go there.
My friends have become pieces of shit lately. No one calls me except Kristen anymore. I tried to get together with Amber a month or two ago and she was all excited to hang out, until she found out it was me texting her and not her step sister or some bs. You could say that effectively ended our friendship. Last night Lynn texted me asking what I was doing. I told her I was busy but asked what she was doing Thursday. Apparently that's the night she gets drinks with her friends. Ok, I wasn't aware I wasn't included in your friends group. Not like I want to hang out with a group of 21 year olds that can't control themselves, it's just the way she said it.
All I want to do is eat my Jimmy John's sub, but I'm texting Justin every three seconds because of our fight. It started yesterday when I made the mistake of telling him I had an interview for a second job this morning and he complained that we would never see each other. Well I'm sorry I'm trying to pay off my credit card and make some extra cash to start saving for when I graduate and so I can purchase a new iPod since mine was stolen from my car in my driveway. And also a new laptop, since the video card in this one is fucked. I can't play The Sims 3, which is all I want to do since I gave up playing World of Warcraft - and right before the new expansion came out, damn it all. I really do enjoy that game. Too bad it costs $40/3 months to play. I'll probably start back up again when I start paying my card and have some extra money to spend.
Winter is a very blah, but these stories are not:
Jobs that pay a lot.
Blockbuster was my first job. Ha ha.
Edgar Allen Poe.
Not learning stuff in college? Who would have thought?!
Who do you think you are...?

Spring 2011
Well, school has started back up, allowing me time to revisit the blog between classes, or during a class which I find boring. I'm sorry for the neglect for anyone who may have been keeping up with me.
I had two classes back to back, one of them being stats for psychology. I dread that class with every square inch of my body and soul. I hate stats and I hate psychology. I suppose that's what I get for making it my minor (the whole reason in the first place being so I wouldn't have to take stats), transferring to a school near my house in Wisconsin, and having to take two additional classes in psychology anyway. How lame.
Between stats and marketing, I went to the book store to rent my books for the semester. I currently have them all in my backpack because I wasn't going to go to the book store, get 1,304 pounds of books, walk back to my car in the dumb cold, and then walk back to the building that was across from the book store to go to class.
I'm also tired, since I forced myself to sleep at 1:30 this morning and had my TV set to sleep after two hours. I woke up at 6, was in and out until about 7:15, and then was just awake until I had to get out of bed at 8. I won't have the luxury of sleeping tomorrow either, since I have an interview at 9. That means I get to wake up at 7, hooray.
Other than the immediate events, nothing exciting is going on. Mom is in Mexico with my aunt and her new husband and my grandpa at my aunt's condo. I wonder wtf her husband does that he has a huge house in Chicago and a condo in Mexico. Whatever it is, sign me up.
I'm going to jump in to my last full semester and hope I don't fall behind.
