(no subject)
So this is it. Once I get done with this entry I'm going to begin studying for finals (they are next Mon and Tues). My Spanish Lit final is half takehome, so I have to write an essay. I might do that today... Oooh and get this-- Our chem professor offered our class extra credit (sadly I must do it in order to get a straight up A in the class). It's funny though. I have to write one page, hand written, explaining "_________ is the best scientist of all time because...". HAHA. How middle school is that?? Anyone got any suggestions for the best scientist of all time??
My brother comes home tonight (Angie is coming in a few days). I don't know how excited I am about that. It's fun to have people home for small periods of time, so it might actually be nice. There are a couple things, however, that I am not looking forward to. He just got in a car accident so we are going to hear about during our ENTIRE dinner. No joke. Apparently it wasn't his fault, even according to the police report, but the other person is trying to fight it. From everything I have heard about it, my brother has nothing to worry about and the other person will end up getting the blame no matter what. Unfortunately this fact means nothing to my brother, and it is almost gaurenteed that he will spend all of dinner complaining about it. I will end up sitting there boredly staring at my plate and wishing at least Sarah was there to make fun of him with me. But hey, at least he won't be talking about cable... OH NO. Haha. How spoiled am I?? I just realized that I'm going to have to share the TV with him. Booooooo. Time for the DVR to get clogged with a ton of crappy action movies.
I'm almost done with my xmas shopping. I think one more trip to the mall, probably Sunday morning, should do it. Unfortunately I need to go to 12 Oaks which I HATE at this time of year. I have been spending alot of money on people so I hope that doesn't make them feel bad, but I don't expect the same in return. I mean it's fun for me and I actually have some money, so I should share it. Plus I figure there might come a time when they have money and I don't, so if they really want to they can make it up to me then.
I have some goals that I wish to accomplish whilst I do NOTHING (except a little work) until March. I want to go to the Rec about 5 times a week (or just run outside). I want to swim. I have a suit and everything. I am also going to clean/organize my room for real and get rid of a bunch of clothes that no longer fit me and will NEVER fit me again. Apparently I want so badly to fit back into my jeans/shirts from a couple years ago that I continue to hold on to them. I think it's time to just face the fact that I'm not skinny anymore and move on. So they are going OUT. I'm going to get myself a debit card. I realize that's not a huge thing, but right now I only have an ATM card and I feel so behind the times. Ooh I'm also going to invest in a digital camera. I figure I'll wait til after Christmas because there might be some sales. I'm going to ask the geeks to find me a good one. They're so helpful. Hmmmm what else... I think I'm going to start reading again. While I obviously plan on reading some Harry Potter and LOTR, I'm actually considering branching out into OTHER books. Imagine that. I don't know what though. Maybe I'll spend some time at the bookstore. That's always fun. AND last but kind of least, I need to organize my whole CD/nanny/music in general situation. It is a MESS and there are CDs everywhere in my car and room and one in my purse? Yikes.
Okay. I apologize in advance for the lameness of this next paragraph (not that the other ones are any better), I actually wrote it a couple days ago but thought I'd include it for fun. Ha. One of my pet peeves: people who think, consciously or subconsciously, that they are more important than other people. There is someone with whom I interact that is exemplfying this exact characteristic, and it is frustrating me to no end. The thing is, he doesn't even KNOW that he is arrogant. I kind of brought it up to him once but he thought I was joking. Seriously though, I feel like every "nice" thing he does actually just has something it for him. It's not really as big of a deal as it sounds because I only interact with him a few times a week, it's just something that I guess is somewhat shocking to me. How can someone be so arrogant and not even realize it? Most of the time I just accept that that is who he is and its no big deal, but lately I can hardly stand it. I don't know what changed... maybe it was when he yelled at me. I don't respond well to that sort of treatment.
So maybe I'm not going to start studying quite yet. Alisia just reminded me that we need to wrap office supplies today. It's our Media Services style of decorating. We take boxes of pens and staples and whatnot and wrap them in construction paper. That's how we roll. Ope, and Colleen just called me. I guess I'm going to lunch with some people too. My plans of studying are slowly diminishing. Oh well...
