Well, it took me over a week, but I’ve calmed down for the most part. You see, I’ve been way to upset to even write a coherent post. I think it would have been something like &@$*@(&!!! Because. My boyfriend. Totaled. My. Car.
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 went to the doctor who did the EGD today. He said I have acid reflux, and I’m basically not supposed to eat or drink anything good. He doesn’t want to keep me on the Nexium for long “because I’m young” so I am supposed to stick to this really bland diet. No caffeine, no alcohol, nothing fried, don’t smoke (I need to quit anyway). No sodas, no chocolate, no tomatoes, no citrus, blah. But he says if I do this, I will get better and not need pills for it. I hope so because right now Nexium rocks my world.
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 am so happy. I’ve actually managed to find some of the information I need to write my paper that’s due on Thursday. Back to work, I guess. I don’t really have time to write on here at the moment. I just wanted to share my joy. Yay for library databases and Hoover’s!

New theme! What do you think?
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.

On a CSUN journalism student’s blog (on the school newspaper’s website), I found this post criticizing a letter PETA sent to Ben & Jerry’s. I don’t like PETA. However, I am baffled as to why this future “journalist” couldn’t be bothered to check his facts before posting his opinion on the matter. I posted the following comment, which is awaiting moderation and probably won’t be approved because, unlike the other 1 comment, I criticized his post. I should have posted my URL with my comment, I don’t know why I was too chicken to do it.
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.
