Updates
Ok, update time. Let's go with school stuff first.
* I got a stupid 50 out of 100 on my first chem test. Now granted, that is not the lowest I have ever gotten on a chem test, but that still sucks major ass. Then on my Human Sexuality and Mass Communication tests I got 85's so that's good. And I just got back my first english paper this semester and I rocked the fucking socks off of it! I got an A-, yeah that's right! Kick fucking ass! That's great since last semester all my papers were B's or C's.
* I've figured out my schedule for next fall, for the most part. I've got American Government, American History of some sort, German 2, and I'm trying to get into Stress Reduction Through Movement with my manager at work. But I'm think of adding another class since I'll be living on campus so that rather than 12 hours I'll have about 15. I'm just figuring that after this semester I'm going to have 25 hours, but I need 30 to be an upperclassman, and I would love to have 50 hours by my third year. That would be awesome!
* As far as housing goes, I got my application in for College Inn and I emailed a request to housing for a matchbox room. The reply was that while it is not a definite yes, that they will keep my request in mind while selecting rooms. And I've been trying to make a list of things I'm gonna need in the dorm. My dad is giving me his old Army duffel for me to use for laundry days and to pack stuff in when I come home. I have plans to buy a mini-fridge and microwave either a couple of weeks before or the day I move in. I've picked up a few plates that are impossible to break and I'm taking the old silverware, so now I just have to get a couple of cups and bowls. I have a really soft mat for under my sink and I want to find a bigger one to put between the desk and bed. I'm gonna need sheets, but I'm taking all of my pillows and blankets from home. I brought a new towel, but I'm mostly taking old ones from home and I'm taking my robe. I plan on taking all the clothes I normally wear because Texas weather is psycho. I'm taking my message board because it has all my school supplies on it. Taking my alarm clock of course. My TV, PS2, and the downstairs remote are coming with me. I'm bringing Willy, but the 10 gallon tank is gonna have to stay home because it would be too much of a mess to cart back and forth. Taking my laptop and printer. JP is giving me his chest of drawers since he doesn't use it. I'm gonna try to take the Shaggy Bag if I can find enough room for it and mom is making a new cover for it. There's other stuff, but I can't think of it.
The whole car thing
* Alright, from what I found out on Carfax, the car hasn't been in any accidents. The only red flags are that last year it failed emissions then passed a week later after some work was done and that it has over 250,000 miles (180,000 in the first 5 years). That's a lot for an engine. Most engines last about 150,000 miles. But Heather swears that it's running well, so I'm still gonna check it out. My parents are worried that the insurance will be too much, but I got a quote at $550 every 6 months, which is a little high but not impossible. And as far as I'm concerned, if the thing is running ok, I'm gonna go ahead and get it and if something happens to it, I can sell it for parts on eBay and make decent money off of it that I can put towards another car. So for right now, it's just gonna depend on what happens when I see it.
Brandon
Blargh. Haha. Well, I think things are going great. He told me the other day that he trusts me, which is a big deal because that was one of the first things he warned me about was that he was sort of having problems trusting people. And I'm always so happy around him. I don't ever stop smiling. I don't even really care what we are anymore. But I'm going to ask the next time I see him anyway, just to know. I mean, unless his says that I'm just a girl that he's sleeping with, I don't really care what his answer is, but I want to know if we're exclusive, not because I'm looking into dating anyone else, but because I want to know if he is. I just want to know that we are on the same wavelength. And I'm gonna stop worrying that I'm somehow messing things up because that's what will. If I sit here so worried that I will freak him out, I won't be myself and I won't be as happy with the relationship. So I'm just gonna have fun, and if something goes wrong then I will just acknowledge that it happened for a reason and that the relationship with Brandon was what I needed at the time, so it's ok if it's over. Does that make sense?
Pump It Up
Bwahahaha! We pranked the Dumbass manager's house last Saturday night. We all hate him so much and we had wanted to do it the work before after broomball, but we didn't know which house it was so we just held off until we figured it out. But we went Sat after work and used detergent and skittles on his yard, toilet paper and feminine pads on the trees and bushes, and then spooned "Kevin" into the yard so that he's parents knew we were going after him and not his sister. We had wanted to put the pads all over his truck, but it either wasn't there or we couldn't get to it, so we just threw them around the bushes. It was so much fun, and I tried to take a pic before we left, but it was too dark, so I drove by the next day and snapped two pics. It was great.
I can't think of anything else, so this is it until something comes along.
