The Race is On!

Soooo yah...it's the end of the semester. I have one paper due (technically tomorrow, but she said we can give it to her on reading day), and three exams on the actual dates, one exam on Monday, and one that's due whenever I feel like it next week. Yet, with all of this due...I feel fine. I think it may just be the shock...but whatever it is, I feel like I'll do fine.

Also, the race is on at work. In the next two days there will be interviews for the new office posistion. EEEE! I'm excited! I hope I get it ^^

Hmm...

Despite a horrible tummy ache from lunch...I'm in the best mood that I've been in for the longest time.

Maybe I'm just in shock from the fact I have ALL KINDS of homework due this week, then exams next week.

I like my music right now ^^ *dances*

Current song: Harajuku Girls- Gwen Stephani

Have you ever...

...woken up in the morning and like..completely forgotten who you are?

That was me this morning ^^;

In other news....Takagi Sensei thinks I have a penis. XD

No see, let me explain. I was stealthely (like the wiiiind) avoiding my second class and I ducked into her office to turn in my writing book. Now, here I should point out that I wear a guy's hoodie and it hangs really low on me. This is part of why I like it...it's all comfy and keeps me warm. ^^ I also carry things in the front pocket, usually my drink. So after I turned in my book, Sensei stopped me and says "What's that in your pocket?" I giggled and said "Oh, just my drink" and pulled it out for her to see. She nodded and said "Ohhh...I was about to say..." and then I blushed and realized what it looked like. "Hehe, yes sensei, I have a growth." And to that she laughed SO HARD.

After the giggles, I steathely (again, like the wiiiiiind) went back downstairs and headed to lunch.

WOOSH!

Go To Class

I was rather annoyed today and I'm going to rant. It is so important that I even gave it its own title.


Got To Class

I have a question. About how many UNCG students come here to actually learn? I mean really. Twice in this month I have encountered on campus protests. Now, I would like for you all to understand that I have no problem with expressing one's opinion. However, I have a major problem with people abusing their right to speech by impeading on my rights at this University.
The first protest was, as far as I know, against Bush. I really have no idea about the specifications because they did nothing more than annoy me. First, when they were trying to round people up the week before, they were chanting "No class or work on November second!" I know that they meant "Don't go to class..." but that's not how a lot of people heard it. I know a LOT of people who thought that November second was some kind of holiday and didn't go to class. When it came time to protest, instead of waiting until they got downtown where they actual protest was happening, they decided to start a small marching band and march through the first floor of McIver. I was trying to listen to a lecture on "Much Ado About Nothing." We had to stop for nearly a full five minutes for them to get through the first floor and back. That may not seem like a lot of time, but anything that stops the train of thought of the professor is detrimental to the class. As though it wasn't enough, they then marched around the outside of the building. They were right outside our window and were still being a distraction. I don't care what you're against, you don't have the right to keep me from learning. I came to UNCG for LEARNING and damnit that's what I'll do.
The second, and most annoying out of sheer principle, was the protest going on outside of the Library. They were trying to protest against the use of free speech zones on campus. This had to be the most POINTLESS protest I have ever seen. They said that the use of these two zones were oppressing their freedom of speech. First of all, if you are any good at all with public speaking, who cares where you are? And to quote my boss, "it's not like they put them under the bridge in to the music building where no one will see." These places are relatively large, very noticable places. The only thing is that they are away from classes and dorms. The reason for this is not to prohibit you from getting your word out, but to keep you from disturbing classses and people who are trying to learn. They don't even have to give approval, you just have to tell them that you are going to do something so they can be prepared- they don't know what kind of protest it is and someone could get hurt.
People. I want you to understand that you can say whatever you want. But don't disrupt my learning experience. I came here to take classes and you know what? YOU SHOULD GO TO CLASS instead of wasting your time with pointless protests. You know that you just want to be remembered for it- but understand that no one cares about this petty crap.

STOP WHINING AND GO TO CLASS!

ah fudgenuggets...

I broke my mp3 player...

Or rather, it's broken, I wasn't directly invovled in the incident.

I went to hook it up to the comp and noticed that the inside of the cable is now, for some reason, stuck inide the port on the player. That explains why the connection was so weak last week when I last hooked it up.

I dunno how it happened, it's not like I'm rough with it or anything...

*sighs* I have no way to listen to music at work now...which I guess is fine seeing as my headphones were dieing too.

This week is trying really hard to kill me.

So today I *FINALLY* applied for my minor. In roughly two days, I'll be a Russian Studies minor ^^ This means that I only need one more language class and that'll be acomplished.

Purpose for this? I can say I speak Russian. Though we know that this is pretty much a lie.

Oh the heartache!

So I returned to the doctor today...for those of you who don't know, last week I kept having chest pain and went to the Health Center. The funny-docotr-man said that I had a very common infection in my chest that happens after one has had a virus for a while. Made sense seeing as I was sick for nearly two and a half weeks prior T_T

So anyway...yah...went back for my follow up today. I've been taking the 800MG Ibuprophen, but I still felt pain in my chest. It was less...but still there. I told him this and he kinda went "hmm..." and decided that I should go through some tests. He was pretty sure that it's still an infection, he just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else- better to do useless tests than to do none at all and find out later that you should have. Or something like that. So I went back and had my first x-rays since about the 8th grade. Though I have to say that it was the very first time that it has involved my boobs. I also had my arm stabbed and they took blood. Again, a first- she got blood in one try and I didn't bawl my eyes out afterward. In fact, before she started I went on my usual "my veins roll" shpeal. Her response "Oh hunny, there ain't no such thang." She was a bit determined not to hear excuses. I kinda liked that. It didn't hurt either...well...didn't until about ten minutes later...now it's all achy and there will be no lifting my arm above my belly button. I'm a big baby, I know this. The last thing they did was an EKG. Yet ANOTHER first for me. He gave me a copy of the results to keep for nostalgic reasons...I told you, he's a funny-doctor-man. The results for the x-ray and the EKG came back fine, though he said that it would take an hour to get the results back from the blood test. he was suppose to call if there was anything wrong....and he hasn't called, so I guess that was fine too. he told me to just keep taking the Ibuprophen and if it still hurts after sometime next week, that I need to make an appointment with the Sports Center thingie...I guess they handle more heart related things? I dunno.

I want to take a nap.

HOLY PEANUTS!

So as you may or may not remember, there's a raccoon living in the tree outside our window. Me and Imani have been watching her for a few weeks and have been talking to her from time to time...we first named her Rolli cuz we didn't know if it was a boy or girl...Rolli seemed neutral.

We both stayed up really late last night doing homework, not going to bed until about 2am. I layed down and got all comfy...but then I heard these noises. They sounded like small yips and yelps, kind of like the sounds guinea pigs and bunnies make. Imani thought someone was whistleing, but that couldn't be it cuz it was coming from several places at once. I joked and said "Hey, what if Rollie had like...a whole family in there?" We giggled and I looked out the window...only to see Rolli climbing out of her hole and climbing the tree...then I saw three other, much smaller Rolli's climbing about! Apparently they wanted to play, but momma wasn't having that...she was runnin around the tree, trying to catch them and put them back in the nest. One, however, made it to the base of the tree. She couldn't go after him cuz everytime she'd leave the nest, the other two (umm...what are baby raccoons called?) would crawl out and she'd have to chase them back in. It was adorable and interesting to watch. We know why she doesn't want them out yet...they don't know how to look out for people and cars like she does.They're noises are so cute!

I wish I could take pics of them...if I use a flash, One, it might scare them, and Two the screen on the window absorbs all the light and the pic comes out pure white.

SO CUTE

ISN'T HE (or she) JUST SO CUTE?!!! This raccoon lives outside the window of our dorm. We (me and Imani who can be heard giggling in the background) hope that he's made a nest in there so we can seem him lots.
Isn't wierd, too, that before mommy left the day I moved in, she had a long talk with the tree to watch over us....and now there's a cute fuzzy in it that looks in our window and doesn't scamper away when we talk to it?

Pirates rock my socks

Today is National Speak like a Pirate day! YAR! Or if you're a Russian Pirate, ЯР! I want to write an entry completely in Russian..I might do that tonight after I write up my paper for English, ya know...when I have the patience to look up words. Perhaps I'll be able to like...impress even myself and get my paper done in time to finally work on my Russian paper T_T I've just now figured out how I'm going to be able to expand it. Though I doubt I'll be able to make it a page and a half. UGH.

Ok...anyway...

Hehe. I'm awesome.

I just found out that yesterday, Mamaw passed away.

No one called my mom or nana, nana had to find out by reading the obits online.

Nice to know they care so much...

I knew it was going to happen soon...I just didn't think....I had just hoped it wouldn't have been this soon...

OMG Stupid people should stub their toes, and I'm proof of this

So I've been plagued by a lot of paranoia of something following me. It's a spirit of some...sort...but anyway, I've ben really jumpy and having small panick attacks from it.

But really, all you should understand from this is that I'm really jumpy.

So's I go downstairs to make me a tastey cup o' ramen (draggin Imani with me for protection, of course), and go into the dark kitchen. I flip on the light and walk in, all the while talking to Imani, throw away the wrappings from my cup o' ramen, then turn to see that there has been a girl sitting in there (previously in the DARK) on her cell phone. I almost peed myself.

I swear, had Imani not been there, I would have FREAKED and beaned that 'ho with my ramen.

To top it all off...she was annoyed with us for using the kitchen and disrupting her conversation.

OMGST00PID!!
