since it's really really dreary and icky outside and cuz i really don't feel like doing my homework right now, i'm gonna do an update.
what are the chances that i would catch a cold the first week back? whatever the reason, i did. and of course, i had to go to work that same nite and i had to explain to my boss(like i have done for the past 2 semesters) that i can't work my ass off during the semester like i do during the summer. *sigh* hire more competent people and you won't miss me so damn much. cheese and rice people!!! so while i was dreading the lovely conversation(umm...yeah it wasn't so bad, i just had to tell beth the situation at hand), i became really grumpy and i was talking to my mom about it so i was venting. grrr!!!
so anyway, this cold(sorry got totally off-topic). it's not a fullblown one, but it's still a sucky one just the same. i really sound like a frog about 90% of the time. and sitting out at the register, answering the phone and talking to the stupid customers all day.....really didn't help my voice out too much. a few times i almost lost my voice so i was apologizing to customers for that and speaking as few time as possible thru-out the day. oy, it was hard!! i did keep myself hydrated so my throat didn't get too dry. 2 bottles of apple juice later....:)
ummm....yeah i got a new laptop. on it right now in fact. somehow realized i can get wireless on this sucker so i can sit in the living room watching tv and update my lj!!! exciting:) and on campus, the reception is even better, which rocks cuz here it's kinda iffy for the signal. but this is fun playing with my new toy. i'm not a fan of macs to begin with and this is a macbook. so no rightclick ability, everything is totally backwards for me and i still don't get a lot of the things on it!! oh well...i'll figure it out eventually. i learn how to use new things by playing with them. :) it's what i do, i push buttons and eventually figure it out. reading instruction manuals isn't my idea of an afternoon of fun:)
