Anyway, I am now the proud owner of a 2009 Toyota Yaris. I love the new car! But I miss my Mirage. I really really loved that car. It was my first car. Now it is at my mechanic’s shop waiting for someone from the salvage yard to come tow it away.

I cannot even remotely afford the new car right now either. My parents are helping me with the payments until I graduate (after Spring semester) and hopefully will be able to get a decent job.

I’m supposed to get that paper back tomorrow. I aced the test, and that’s weighted more heavily than the paper, so it’s ok if I didn’t do great. I thought I covered everything he asked, and there wasn’t a length requirement, but when I talked to other students, it sounds like I have about 15 pages less than most. Oh well.

I broke down and actually paid money for this one because I couldn’t find a free one that I was really happy with, and I have neither the time nor inclination to mess around with trying to make one right now. I’m planning to update the About page soon because there isn’t really much on there now, so I think I’ll expand it a bit. Someday I will go back and tag and categorize all the old posts and fix all the Amazon links because they don’t work anymore with out the Quick Link widget (nevermind, got that figure out).

I need to return comments and catch up on blog reading too. I don’t know exactly when I will end up getting all of this done because I’ve got a huge project due next week and I really need to get to work.

I hate PETA with a passion for reasons I won’t get into, and I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan. What they were trying to do, though, in their own patently extremist way, is to make a point. Breast milk is for human babies, cow’s milk is for calves. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

If you’d like to find out why vegans are so vehemently against dairy products, do a little research. Google it, for crying out loud. In fact, if you knew how to check your facts, you could EASILY have found out what PETA’s point was at their own website, posted a WEEK before you posted this.

Oh, and the test score I was worried about ended up being way better than I thought. I got 89.92%, a B+. Now, why the hell anyone grades to 89.92 and doesn’t just round it up to 90 and give me an A-, I don’t know. But that is far better than what I expected, so I guess I can’t complain. I mean, I made stuff up. I think I may have invented words. Yet, B+. So, yay!

I got some good news too though - I got an 86% on the test I took for my advertising class last week. Rather unexpected, but I wasn’t expecting to do too badly…I was thinking more along the lines of a C. My Thursday class though? That’s another story. I dread getting that test back. I dread getting that test back very much. I blanked on a lot of it.

I really appreciate all the comments and I need to get to replying to them and reading & commenting on other blogs - I’m way behind on my blog reading. Been kinda busy, which is why I haven’t updated much either.

Anyway, I’ve got to get to bed so I can get up early. Sound like I’ve got a fun day ahead of me.

I have way more productive things to be doing right now than reading blogs and playing games on Myspace. Actually, I’m finding this somewhat painfully boring at the moment. I need to be reading, or studying, or both. I have 2 tests coming up this week. I feel ok about the one on Tuesday, but the Thursday one..not so much.

I at least should be doing laundry or something. My parents are out of town helping my brother and his wife do some work on their new house. So this is the perfect opportunity for laundry, because when my mom is here we are constantly fighting over the washer and dryer. She’ll always leave her shit in the dryer for days on end when I need to wash clothes. Or I’ll get my basket all sorted and carry it downstairs…and she’s just started a load. Or vice versa. Zack thinks this is hilarious.

Guess I’ll try to go do something halfway useful.

I have class tonight. I don’t wanna go. I don’t feel well either, which makes the 1 1/2 hour drive seem all the more unappealing. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t have any Babycham, ‘cause it’s probably not a great idea to have a glass when a.) I don’t feel all that great and b.) I have places I’m supposed to be going in a few hours. Because then I wouldn’t go. I might not go anyway. I haven’t fully decided yet. I guess it depends on how I feel after I take some Motrin.

I have an assignment due tonight, which I haven’t done yet. I just can’t get motivated to do it, since it’s not really worth anything. He grades to a tenth of a point, so if we do all 5 of these mini-papers and we get, say, an 89.9% he’ll round it up from a B+ to A-. Whoop-de-frigging-do. I’ve already got term papers and tests to worry about.

I’m going to have to take 4-5 classes next semester, since my concurrent enrollment for 2 classes at CSU Bakersfield fell through. All my paperwork was in at CSUN, and they sent it to CSUB, who never gave me a registration date, the people who know about it don’t answer the phone, and they don’t return their voicemails. This kinda sucks because I was intending to spend more time looking for work during my last semester, rather than scrambling to finish up my remaining classes.
