fack valentine's day
So since the drama and shizzle that occurred since last entry, things turned out somewhat good and bad. Stacey talked to Antonio about the entire thing, because lexi and chris came out with the truth once they found out I told her what I knew. So the two of them talked, Antonio said he didn't have feelings for her anymore, he didn't treat her right, and that he felt they should break up...Stacey replied that she never wanted to talk to him again if they broke up then and there. He said they'd stay together until the end of the semester and if he felt the same as he does now (and has felt this way since spring semester last year) then they'd break up. All I thought was "well they worked things out...I guess". I just don't understand how someone would stay with another person when they know that the other person has no feelings for them anymore, has cheated on them, and has been an ass to them for a long time now. Just doesn't make sense to me but I guess it does for them. After hearing them work things out and what went on, I just put my distance from both of them so it doesn't seem like I'm taking either person's side or favoring either one of them more than the other really. Their hate-hate relationship just boggles my mind to no extent :o.
So thursday, antonio, adrian, and jay were supposed to smoke weed...antonio backed out at the last minute cuz he was tired and just adrian and jay smoked. They smoked themselves retarded for half an hour...then adrian turns around and gets paranoid because his girlfriend had a bad day. He goes to his dorm to change, heads over to her place, and then immediately states that he's smoked weed. Being the religous person his girlfriend is, she is pissed off and even goes so far as to have him leave that night and they didn't speak for a few days. Saturday they finally talked and worked things out but he was bummed friday and saturday until they spoke. He knew she'd be pissed, smoked anyways, and then didn't think about the end results like losing a relationship because he just wanted to smoke weed again to have fun. I guess it shows the immature nature some college students still have, that or their lack of sense to look at the consequences of their actions. The only time they take the time to say "hey I fucked up bad" is after something bad happens...and it's something that's happening a lot this semester, two friends busted for underage drinking because they did stuff in open (puking and peeing) instead of walking 10-20 feet to go somewhere more appropriate.
Having hella problems with my partners for classes this semester. Construction, partners either don't care about learning how to do stuff or just bitch about it and I pull slack. Design/Implementation, partner hasn't helped for a damned lately while I do all the work. Manufacturing, partners haven't finished their surveys (20 per person to hand out) and we have to discuss our research and how profitable our product may be...I was only person to finish the surveys for my group >_>. Basically I can't find a partner that wants to pull their weight...well I've had one person that did his part of the assignment after I showed him but his work and mine were separate anyways.
On a different note, been seriously debating the idea of going straight for my masters degree after obtaining my bachelors. It's 15-20k a year more right away, but means I have a hard time finding a job that will hire a first year teacher with a masters (especially since it's gonna make them pay 40k+ a year instead of 30k'ish). Ontop of getting my master's, I could get about half of my requirements for getting a doctorate in administration (become a principal or vice principal) which is what I really would like to do. Administration would increase my minimum pay to 50-60k starting and the cap is a lot higher. Down side to that is that 99% of schools require I have 3-10 years experience before I can technically become an administrator...which would give me a lot of time to finish my doctorate. That'd also make my family extremely proud...get a bachelors, masters, and eventually a doctorate before I hit 30. Master's program is only 30-45 credit hours, which means another year or year and a half in college, and I can finish administration online probably in 3 years if I take 1-2 courses a semester. I was also informed that I can take the masters online courses which means I can find a job, get myself rooted in there depending on how long it takes to get tenure. Once I get tenure I can take my courses and get my masters which means they have no alternative but to increase my pay...it's dirty but that's how a lot of teacher's get their masters.
In the realm of FFXI, did a few limbus runs...sunday we did Proto-Omega that boss is retarded easy. Got head, body, feet items for homan. Some drama over the weekend, but people just getting frustrated or other feelings about things. I personally like what we're doing now, we tried DL again...no luck this run but can't win them all. Limbus created new gear for some members, I have nothing to upgrade for the moment so I do the runs, get a coin or two...sell to ls or fund my own debt that I have to repay by selling the coins.
Speaking of debt, bought a triumph earring, commander's cape, and psilos mantle. Lot of gil spent to gain strength to help my ws modifier. Turn around to sell forager since I can replace with new back pieces and lower the hit on my gil count. Same day S-E announces the ban of 700 gil sellers and removing 300billion from the economy. Instantly prices on the AH crash and so do the prices for the items I had up already >_>. Forager dumped from 9m to 6m in 3 days...so mine got shipped back...so I go to sell commander's cape and psilos mantle since I might as well keep forager. Psilos mantle drops from 1m to 200k(varies now up to 500k) and commander's cape dipping all over from 4m (what I paid) down to 2m. Gonna lose my ass now. Had the triumph earring for all of 2 days, turned around and sold for a 40k profit. Selling all the stuff to get my cash back, because jillybean let me have a shinsoku on the agreement that I'd pay 15m for it once I get the funds for it. Triumph earring pumped me back up to 8m...if I can get commander's cape and psilos mantle to sell at the current price...that'll put me at roughly 12.1m so I need another 2.9m to pay off jillybean for the shinsoku. After that, I'll buy a triumph earring again (price has been dropping a little lately) and a flame ring in anticipation of me getting a rajas ring and sometime I fucking hope a bushinomimi. After that I'm basically set on samurai gear besides an osode which I doubt I'll have any time in the future. Maybe an optical hat but I don't know since I now have the abjuration for shura head (5str/acc).
Guess that's about it for junk happening so far.
