w00t spring semester is finished! My grades suck hard compared to last semester. But it's my fault for being lazy I guess. I pretty much failed two of my finals because I didn't study. Oh well. Now I need to find a full-time job.

Oh and I ran into a high school classmate today. I didn't really talk to her outside of school before but we got along and worked on our physics final project together. Didn't really get to talk to her for a long time though since we were both in rush.

For the first time ever stress has made me sick. I woke up and complained to my mom that my neck was stiff and my head hurt and she was like "oh that's stress, welcome to my world lol".

I'm almost finished with this semester. I have my Bio final on Tuesday and the final for Music on Thursday. I had the option of taking my Music final on Thursday but I decided to skip out because I wasn't feeling too good (and I stayed up finishing my essay and never got around to studying). I kind of regret is now because the final will take less than 10 minutes to do and it feels like a waste to commute so much just for that.

Also found this. Ugh. I hate the idea but it doesn't really matter since lots of people probably will buy this kind of stuff for their kids (why bother spending so much anyway since kids grow so fast!). At the store I work we get Baby Phat and Apple Bottoms clothing for little girls too and its way over priced compared to some of the other cute (but not designer!) clothes. Meh, maybe it's just me that doesn't see the appeal of designer clothes...because I'm poor...and rather spend it on useless stuff...

bawwwwww I have so much work to do because I was a dumbass and procrastinated

To do list:
- stupid English essay (only four six pages done  T_T)
- response to case study solution for Bio
- poster for Bio project
- about 7 chapters worth of notes for Psy. I'm so behind in this class and I've gotten low B's on the two exams so far. It's making me depressed because this is my major and I'm not doing good in it at all :(
- study for Psy final on Wed.
- listen to CDs for Music Appreciation final on Wed.
- study for Bio final next Tues.

Time left to do this:
- today, Friday until 1AM when I go to bed
- Saturday from 12 to 5:30 (before that I have to do chores). And maybe when I get home from work I can maybe squeeze in an hour of studying before I need to sleep. edit: this whole day was wasted because I am stupid
- Sunday sucks because when I wake up I have to get ready to go to work because my hours are in the middle of everything since on Sundays stores open later and close early (I'd rather work early and leave early). If I'm not too tired I'll probably work on the poster.
- only have from 6-10 to study on Monday because I have to go to sleep (if I don't get at least 8 hrs of sleep I can't function the rest of the day so I have no idea how people are able to pull off these "all-nighters").

I tried to put in a two weeks notice at work but the store manager didn't want to let me go since the store is so understaffed. I'll be working on weekends only starting in a week or two so that should leave the weekdays open for me to look for another job. I was thinking about going to an agency but they usually only have temp jobs for a few days/weeks and what I really need is a steady job for the next couple of months. Too bad I don't have enough experience to work anywhere besides a clothes store/fast food restaurant, but even that isn't enough (I applied at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and never got a call back).

Finished registering for classes (had to pay another $200 which is the entire amount I got on my check today ;_;). I bumped up my class load to 5 this time. Hopefully it won't overload me since I'm taking them all on the same days (Mon & Wed). Only one of the classes I'm taking has to do with Psychology, all the rest are those boring general core curriculum classes. I figured I'd take those first to get them out of the way. I wonder if other people do this as well. There are a couple of seniors in my Biology class so waiting till their final semesters to take the general classes.

Tomorrow might be fun, going to the aquarium with my mom and nephews (well, I sort of have to since one of my labs is a field trip). Now I need to start on that English essay. x_x Since the day it's due is only a workshop maybe I can get away with only finishing half of it..

I need to take College Algebra but the scores I got on the ACT and SAT aren't good enough to even take the placement exam to get into the actual class inself! I need to take this class before I can take Statistics and Research Methods as well. Crap. Maybe I can take either test again and take the class later (I keep pushing back the time when I want to take this darn class). The whole registering for classes is stressful for me because I never know if what I'm picking is right. I wish I could talk to an adviser but they have all these rules and requirements and it feels like you can't go in and just talk to them if have a question.

Walked out of my first class today and was greeted by large posters in the middle of campus with pictures of aborted fetuses and baby guts. I think I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.

EDIT: Noooo. My doujinshi was delivered today but no one was there to greet the mailman (my dad was home but he never answers the door). I hope they come by tomorrow since I'm off. I don't want to go to the post office to pick it up. Well, at least now I know why Manadrake's shipping is so expensive, the package only took 3 days to get delievered through EMS. The package I'm getting from ebay will take 3 weeks because I only payed $4 for standard SAL shipping.

Oh and I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. I'm scared  that he might scold me. I haven't worn my retainer in so long that my teeth are starting to shift and there's a gap between my front two teeth. :/

Today was really "blah". I got such bad cramps today that I skipped Music Appreciation to sit in the student lounge area. Later in lab my group was the last to leave because we didn't understand the material. I felt kind of dumb compared to everyone else in the class, they finished fast and didn't have as much trouble as my group did.

And then at the end of the day I find out that the stupid light-rail trains were all delayed 35 minutes. So I wait in the cold for my train. But the trains were all so full. The first one that came by I couldn't get on because they were so stuffed up. My cramps were starting to come back and my then my nose was starting to get runny so when the next train came by and I decided I would get on it no matter what. Some guy in front on me couldn't fit so he gave up and stepped back, but I was smaller so I just casually stuffed myself in between two other people (I think they were mad at me for this because the train was already pretty full). The train stayed full until the very last stop so there was a huge traffic jam trying to get out of the stupid station. But things weren't so bad once I got home because dad bought CAKE.

I also made some Precure icons, and they look pretty decent in my opinion. Maybe I should post em or something, but I've never posted on the precure lj community before (Honestly, I think I lurk at most of the communities I'm in lol).

I'm really hungry but I'm too lazy to go downstairs and eat. I hate myself sometimes.

School is okay so far. The professor for my Core Comp. class is cool. I have a love/hate relationship with Psy II. The professor talks really slow which is nice when it comes to writing down notes but I'm always struggling to stay awake in this class. Music Appreciation...um yeah no comment. I'm only taking this class because I have too and I'd rather get it out of the way early. Bio is the one class I'm worried about. I took one semester of AP Bio in high school and dropped it because I couldn't keep up and was failing all the tests.

Exciting news: I had my first nose bleed today. Thank god I was in the shower so I didn't make a mess or anything (unlike my brother who leaves a trail of droplets leading to the bathroom). I was freaked out at first and of course being the nerd I am the next second I was like "cool!" and let the blood collect into a pool in my hands. o_O

School starts tomorrow OH BOY.

In better news I got to skip work today. I had put my change in availability form two weeks ago but the store manager didn't see it I guess so I didn't get scheduled for the days I wanted. I talked to her yesterday to fix that but since I was missing Thursday I was technically supposed to go in today even I wasn't scheduled for anything. So I called her this morning a half-hour before the store opened to see what time I should go in and she she didn't they wouldn't need any help today (she also said I called in too late, pfft whatever I wanted to eat breakfast first lol). Even though I completely broke I don't mind missing. Yesterday was the first day I went since the operation and I got tired so fast, I got too comfortable with being lazy at home. Also it's snowing so yay for not having to drive in that. Ah I need to stop getting so stressed over this job, it only pays $7/hr, I could easily find another job I think. :\

And sites stuff: I haven't forgot my domain completely! I'm working on revamps for all my sites simultaneously which why it's taking forever. I also still have a layout block. I don't know how everyone else works on their sites but for me I work on the layout first. For some reason once I have the layout up it's much easier for me to visualize how I want to organize everything and it doesn't make so long to write up the content.

 Successfully registered for classes next semester! I'm so glad I brought my laptop to register on time because I barely squeezed into the Lab I wanted (there were only 5 seats left!)

Also, FRS low calorie energy drinks are fucking nasty. I got a peach mango flavored one for free because they were passing them out and I threw it away before I could finish it. It tastes like drinking orange juice right after you've brushed your teeth and rinsed with mouth wash.

lol so it is possible to write a 10 page research paper in 3 days. I just finished writing 2 pages in half hour while only using 1 of my billions of resources! I'm glad I picked such an interesting topic, it made me more motivated to research.

Oh snap I managed to get A's on my Core Comp and FYS exams last week! I was expecting to bomb the FYS exam because I forgot what a phylogenetic perspective was (I don't even think I spelled that right) but I manged to get a 95%! Too bad I'll only get a B or something in class because I keep forgetting to do the online quizzes on time. And the Core Comp exam was only a project. I was the only one in the class that an A- on it and how I did I have no idea. The essay was completely last minute and it wasn't even 3 pages like he asked but around 2 1/2 pages (I used a lot of pictures ha). Because of that I can't take the class seriously anymore. You know what we've been doing the past two weeks? Watching movies. The professor isn't even trying anymore. Before we would at least discuss the movie in between scenes but now we just watch the movie for the entire class period and the end he's just like "do you like it want to more next time lol?" Maybe I'm just biased because the AP Lit class I took in high school kicked my ass ha.

Oh god I have an 9 hour shift today at work. :( I can't even imagine how it'll be during the holiday seasons. I need to get payed mooooar.

Site stuff: I promise I'll start to update in December/January because that's when I'll be on break and I hope to get fewer hours at work.

Nooo I don't want to go to school tomorrow! It's Halloween and I don't want to be stuck on campus until 7....hmmm maybe I could skip my last class and go home early. It wouldn't really matter if I skipped Core Comp. because it's the most pointless class I've ever taken. All we did last class was watch The Big Lebowski (which is pretty awesome but I don't see what it has to do with anything...) Oh and FYS midterm tomorrow how fun I should go study for that.

Its late and I have to wake up at 6 so goodnight.

Just checked my grades online and I got a 98% on my first Psy mid-term. This completely makes up for the crappy weekend I had. :D

And nothing really blog-worthy has happened in a while, just working a lot, homework, studying and stuff. I did finally catch up on the aniem shows I'm following (Mononoke, Gurren Lagann and Precure 5). The Fall season started a week ago but the only thing that has grabbed my attention is Neuro and of course Shugo Chara!:

So I just missed my first two classes today because I couldn't find any stupid parking at the light-rail station. I swear I was there almost an hour driving around like a dumbass looking for parking. In the end I just gave up and came back. I knew that the station got crowded but I've always been able to find parking pretty easily before (even when there was sign posted saying that the lot was full). My next class doesn't start until 4 so I'll just go to my last two. Tomorrow I'm going to go look for another station to park at from now on.

OH I almost forgot to mentioned that I scrapped my right side mirror at the station because I am such a GENIUS. I was driving kinda fast and didn't notice the brightly colored yellow concrete post. I was driving past it and heard a screech sound, turns out I was too close to the damn post. The mirror still works (I can move it and stuff) but the a good part of the paint came off and there is a large crack. Normally I would not worry because my logic is that "it still works so whatever". BUT it's my MOM'S car (it's mine sort of because I pay insurance but my parents are still paying it off) so I know that when she comes from work and finds out she's going to drop kick me.

Holy crap there's a band called Huckleberry Finn, how awesome is that. They're Korean though so I don't understand a thing they say (and I don't even know what the name of the only song I have by them is...)

(don't really feel like putting this behind an lj-cut, it won't kill you to scroll past this on your friends page)

So I've been going to the University of Colorado at Denver for a good three weeks or so. It's not as bad as I imagined and I actually like the college atmosphere more than high school. As I expected there is a good amount of homework (though for me it's mostly notes, they aren't required but it helps me study).

Math For Liberal Arts
This class is pretty easy. It's mostly logic at this point and very much arithmetic. I was supposed to take College Algebra instead but math is my worst subject ever so I took the easier class. :P I got a 15/15 on the first quiz which makes me happy because I usually fail math tests.

Psychology I
Er...ya typical lecture class. We go to class and listen to a power point lecture while trying to madly scribble down notes since the teacher goes so fast and then leave (the professor lets us go when he finishes the lecture so we almost always leave early). I tried the first couple of time sto write down everything on the lecture but that's almost impossible so now I just try to write what the professor says that isn't on the power point and just copy the lecture from the .pdf he uploads to his website. We just had out first quiz last Wednesday over the first three chapters. I don't thing I did very well. It was multiple choice quiz and on almost half I wasn't too sure on my answer. Guess I should study more text time.

~*Lunch Time*~
So, I have this huge 4 hour break between classes. During this time I go lunch at the Tivoli where they have a food court with McDonalds, Subway, Taco Bell and some Japanese fast food place. I keep meaning to go to Subway so I can try to eat a little healthy but the line is always so LONG. So instead I end up going to the Japanese place and ordering a huge bowl of expensive teriyaki chicken. Seriously I spend $7 and I have yet to finish the entire thing because they pack so much rice in it. I tried to save the food I didn't eat once but I just made my backpack smell. I need to figure out a way to bring my own food because eating fast food twice a week is going to make me fat eventually.

So after lunch I go to library and do homework. The library is freakin huge. I used to like to find the most isolated couch at the furthest corner but then I found out that hobos like to hang out there so I just on the second floor where they have desks.

FYS: The Human Animal
This is one of those first year seminar things. It isn't related to my major or anything but the counselor encouraged everyone to take one of these classes. It's an anthropology class so we talk about monkeys and monkey sex. It's pretty interesting so far I guess. We already have a project due and I'm doing mine on Infantcide in Human Males. Sounds cruel but I wanted to pick a subject that wouldn't bore me...

Core Composition I
Oh god this class is awesome. The professor never shuts up and likes to bring in bobble heads from his collection. All we did last class was watch clips from Lone Ranger and Shane. The only work we've done is small quizzes over the reading he assigns from the book. The textbook is also pretty awesome compared to others (it's very casual and has lots of pretty pictures~). I've done horrible on the quizzes though because he likes to assign 40+ pages and I always end up skimming and not retaining most of the information. And yay there's no literature in this class! I think I've had a enough of that since that AP class...

-----------------------------------------------
Work still sucks. I'm so sick and tired of Ross. I don't even want to shop there even though I have discount card. I guess it's just certain people that shop there that get on my nerves...you know the kind of people that go in the fitting rooms with eight pieces of clothing and bring it back to you in a wrinkled pile instead of on the hangers...

I kind of miss my old job because it was just me at my station, I did not have to associate with the workers around me because I was always busy. I would have liked to stay there (the pay was much better) but they don't offer part time.

I had no idea college books were expensive. I spent $250 on used books for only three of my classes (my English professor hadn't assigned a book yet for the class so I have go back in a week).  The psychology book alone was $90. Yikes, I can't believe I actually wanted to buy them new (I just like how new books look because I'm a perfectionist). All that's left now is to pay my tuition. As I mentioned before I got a scholarship for $1000 but when I look at the amount that's due that money hasn't been subtracted from the total. Am I supposed to receive the money or is it just taken out from the total amount due or what? I guess I have to the call the office again and bug them about that because I my dad doesn't want to pay $3000 yet if he knows that the scholarship money hasn't been used.

Yesterday my sister got fired from her new job after being there for only being there 2 days. Talk about total FAIL. I wanted to tell her from some smart ass comment but she was already mad and I was afraid she wouldn't give me my birthday present. Today she has another interview (wtf is up with that? She gets job interviews almost every other day and it was so hard for me to get just one job! The only reason I'm at the job I am at now is because my mom works there and begged her boss to hire me. I'M THE ONE WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IT SHOULD BE EASIER FOR ME TO FIND A JOB THAN HER). Anyway, I'm stuck watching her brats for an hour today because her man is going to work at the same time her interview starts.

Digimon Day was on August 1st! I wish I could've done something on that day like other people do but I was too lazy. But what totally wowed me was when I saw that someone made Digimon sims! Now I have the biggest urge to make some of my own and just dump on them all on a forest-ish lot and let them play. D:

Okay first of all I've just suddenly realized that I start college in three weeks! I haven't paid my tuition yet, bought school supplies or even bought my textbooks yet. Yikes. I've been trying to set up a payment plan on the university's website but that option still isn't listed. I called last week and the lady said it would be last weekend but still no dice. Ugh, I'll have to call again and ask, hopefully I would be on hold for half an hour like last time. Also, I'm starting to freak about my textbooks. I'm definitely going this Wednesday so I hope none of the books I need are out of stock or something. The thing is that it's such a huge hassle to drive down to the university. It's in downtown and the traffic is so bad at times. Also it takes almost an hour to get there from my house. Thank god I only have to be there for two days.

I've started to work on my new site. I've started to work on the layout(s) and I have some of the information planned out IN MY HEAD. IT WILL BE MAGICAL. From now on I'm keeping my sites down to maybe five or so I won't have too much stuff weighing down my conscience. Btw, the reason I've been so slow with sites lately is because this stupid layout block and the fact that I'm completely obsessed with the Sims 2. I started doing that legacy challenge a while ago and now my family is in the 6th generation! I'm so close and I'm really loving the family I made (there's so much drama it's hilarious and my 6th generation heir recently got pregnant with an alien baby, the beautiful thing is that the heir is a guy). Okay I'll shut up now since no one knows what I'm talking about.
