So awhile back I posted about having a bad day. This week has completely topped that bad day by like a gazillion times more. I have my suspicions as to what is wrong with me and hopefully next month will have worked out all the kinks otherwise I might actually kill someone.
School is kicking my ass. I never thought that I would be in an Organic Chemistry class and feel like I was being weeded out. I always assumed that I was way too smart to be in the weed out category. I guess my inflated head doesn't have room for the O-Chem knowledge that Dr. Rechrt is word vomiting at me.
I learned a valuable lesson recently. If you want something, especially something big like an appliance, and you have the money, go ahead and buy it. Even if your well-meaning parents say to wait because they will be moving soon and you can have their cast off appliance. Because in the end you will get fucked over.

Jillian Michaels is a sadistic bitch
Ice Queen came over tonight and we decided to do this ridiculously hard shit so we can be all ripped and junk. Well, apparently my downstairs neighbor isn't too keen on my fat ass getting shredded. She called our courtesy officer. Bitch.
My sinuses are completely kicking my ass this season and I have no idea what to do about it. Because nothing seems to be helping. So, I skipped most of my classes this week.
Thinking about heading home tomorrow. Kind of feeling compelled to head that way.
I planted some pretty flowers this weekend. Ice Queen told me that I'm such a grown up for planting stuff. Not sure if I feel grown up though.

Spring Break is totally my boyfriend!
Since the beginning of my school career my birthday has always kicked off Spring Break. All the way back to kindergarten. Awesome right?!!
My birthday was fantabulous! I can't remember ever having a better celebration and it was so much sweeter having my friends and family there.
So, I have some awesome news that I can finally share! But only to the blogger world not on facebook so please keep it here! Captain Amazing and Dr. Baker before Me are HAVING A BABY! So, I guess I will have to come up with new names for the two of them and probably for the Kid since she won't be the only kid around anymore. For now the bun is being called Tadpole, I however, rather like the name Termite. So, I will decide soon and up date the Usual Suspects list.
School starts Monday. New out look on school is that I will dominate!
Hope all you guys are enjoying your breaks and the oh so lovely weather.
Thoughts and prayers are being sent to Japan.

The usual
Ochem exam tomorrow. Cracked the book briefly. Should do well.
Spring break starts tomorrow at 2:15. Probably before then since I have the exam.
Today I was walking across campus and saw one of the ground crew guys using the leaf blower. I started wondering if he stressed about his job at the end of the day. If he was happy with his career at the end of the day. I came to the conclusion that I would gladly quit school to blow leaves across campus. Then I read this and realized that I'm not the only one that feels that way and that I shouldn't give up! So thanks Dr. Michelle Au!
Massive bad weather yesterday. Like 5 tornado's touched down in and around Mobile. I've said before how the University of South Alabama doesn't shut down for ANYTHING. Literally. I have been going to school her since the Spring of 2009 and the only time classes have been canceled was when two transformers blew and a fire started. And that happened this semester! And my chem lecture wasn't canceled, he just wrote on the chalk board, no need for PowerPoint or power for that matter. My chem lab was canceled because it was in a room with no windows. You can't work in a lab with out ventilation. But seriously, it snowed last spring and class was not canceled. Snow in Mobile literally happens once ever 20 years. My first semester here, I was in class with a crazy storm going on outside and the sirens started going off and my professor acted as if nothing was happening. Kept on with her lecture and then when class was over said have a good day! These people do not take weather serious around here. A friend of mine was here during Katrina and he said that even though the city of Mobile was with out power for like a week or so but the University NEVER LOST POWER. I don't know how this is possible but it seems to me that maybe Alabama Power and you know, third world countries might want to get in touch with the power crew on campus. Cuz they apparently know their shit. So, the point of this is that as I woke up yesterday morning to gloom and doom and sirens going off, class was still on. I emailed my trig professor and told him that I was not going to be in class because of the weather and he wrote me back last night saying he thinks I made the right choice.
I was flipping channels on the radio today and came across an ignorant son of a bitch talking about the situation in Wisconsin. He made the comment that the teachers that were supporting their union on the state capital were all over paid state employees and that they should all be fired and subs should be hired in their place. Now, I don't know exactly how well the teachers do in Wisconsin but I do know that here in Alabama they don't make that much. It pissed me off to hear someone says that the people who are teaching the future minds of America are over paid lazy asses.

Fat Tuesday in south Alabama is a holiday because we are drunken heathens!
I decided to give up bacon. I was going to go with pork but I like a little pork in my life. (Ha ha!)
No class tomorrow and I will be doing laundry all day long. Awesome, right?
I decided how to spend my refund money (that I haven't gotten yet). New washer and dryer. As you see from above sentence, I'm tired of having tons of laundry and literally spending all day taking care of it. I'm also tired of depending on Shop-a-holic to leave a key for me to use her laundry or driving 20 minutes to my uncles to use his. I'm a grown ass woman dammit, I should have my own washer and dryer!
The great thing is that even though I will be buying a brand new set, I will still have a bit of money left over. It will go into savings and I will decide later on what trip I'm going to take.

Yesterday was one of THOSE days.
One week of class left before Spring Break starts. Thank God. School is chugging along. Not doing the best I could in my Trig and Ochem classes but I'm not worried. (That's my new philosophy)
Awhile back I said I was trying out a new personality where I'm trying not to stress so much and to stop cussing. The no cussing has it's ups and downs. The less stress is really unreasonable because everyone has stress no matter what. So I amended it to stop stressing over the stupid stuff. I think it has worked. I had my annual check up and my blood pressure was 118/70 and my doctor told me (in a some what surprised voice) that it was beautiful. So I feel like the new personality is working.
Along with the no stress thing and Ochem, we had a quiz Friday and I couldn't figure out the last page of stuff so I wrote: I don't understand this. I suck at life. I'm transferring to Hogwarts. Maybe Harry can make my life easier. Hopefully Dr. Reichert has a sense of humor. Which I think he does from the way he acts in class.
Found out some amazing family news last week but I can't share it yet. My blog with the new aliases for friends and family will be changing soon though.
It's Mardi Gras time and I have been trying to figure out what I'm going to give up for Lent. Ice Queen and I have started a "No Meat Monday" adventure but since I have a ridiculous schedule on Mondays we moved it to Tuesday, which has been named Tofu Tuesday. Anyway, Ice Queen says she is giving up meat all together for Lent but I don't see that happening. In the past few years I have tried giving up soda, fast food, and using drive throughs. I have no idea what to give up this year. Also, none of those stuck. Except I did give them up for the 40 days so I guess it did stuck. I just picked them back up once Easter passed. This year I want to give whatever up for good.
I'm getting a pretty nice chunk of change back this year for my income taxes. Enough that I can buy the computer I have been bitching about. However, now that I might have the money for it I've been thinking about not getting it. Funny, I know. I want to go back to Washington this summer. And I want to go to Miami. And I really really want to go to the Keys. So, I think I'm just going to put it into savings and just hold on to it for now.
So, yesterday was one of those truely horrific days. It started off simple enough. I was on time for class, I had everything prepared, I actually knew what the fuck was going on. But then sometime between Trig and Ochem, everything went to shit. I wasn't prepared for Ochem. My mother called asking a billion questions about my taxes. Questions that I had no idea how to answer. I got a phone call from a collection agency about a stupid credit card that isn't even mine. But they don't care about that. I was told last week at Verizon that I could upgrade my phone now so my parents said they would buy me the new iPhone 4 for my birthday. I went in yesterday to actually purchase the phone and was told that I am not, infact, eligible for an upgrade until May. So, I left the store in tears. Called my mother crying over a stupid phone, sounding like a petulant four year old that didn't get her way. I knew that I wasn't really crying because of the phone but because the day just turned into a huge cluster-fuck of how to screw Jess but still. After I hung up with her I cried even more for acting like a spoiled brat.
It's raining and we are currently under a tornado watch and I am sitting on my couch (under a huge window with lightening popping everywhere) making a study guide for my bio of aging class. It's times like this when I'm glad my parents live 150 miles away and I can enjoy my pity party in silence. I think I might have a beer soon.
