eh, as usual... nothing much to update on.
on Monday I got to see FINCH for the first time in a non-stadium venue. and holy shit... it was amazing. def one of the best shows I have ever been too. they were at The Knitting Factory in NYC in the village. mapquest totally lied to us on how to get there, but shamus and his wondering (and scarey as hell) driving skills got us there in time. finch was SO GOOD! my god... nate's screaming is amazing. they played a bunch of new songs, and now im so excited for their new cd. it’s a lot heavier. there was this one new song... and it was just, wow. all he did was scream, and I cant even describe it. it blew me away. it was SOOO GOOOOD! and The Knitting Factory is the tiniest venue I have ever been to. there couldnt have been any more than like 150 people there. the bands barley fit on the stage. but being so tiny, ment I got to be really close up. no asshole security guards. ahhhh it was so amazing. finch is awesome live. I miss it, I wanna go again!
and other than that... my life sorta sucks.
im not sure how my chemistry class is going. I’ve been getting 70's on my labs. it always seems like im doing it right during class, plus ill work with other people and they get the same answers I do. its just going so quick. we covered 3 chapters in 4 days, and then had a test on the 3 chapters. it was open book, but we only had 45 mins to do it. not one person in the entire class finished the whole test. we're doing another 3 chapters this week, and probably another test again. its just moving so fast, and with the class being every night of the week... its really hard to keep up. and I hate Newark, with a passion. I hate the crowdedness. I hate how it takes me 20 mins to park every night. I hate the traffic going into Newark. Bah! my road rage is increasing because of going to school.
work is going alright. dr. nice has been gone for a little over a month. its not too bad without her, but I still miss her. my boss has been a lot nicer, and I actually enjoy working with her, when she doesnt tripple book patients. the office has just been so chaotic. so many new patients are coming, 2 new hygienists, the other assistant is leaving (im the only assistant again, fucking yay.) and yea. shes a nice person and all, but I think when it comes down to her operating the practice... she's so dense. I think I have a better understanding of business than she does. OH! but I got a raise =D a whole dollar, woo hoo! so im at $10 an hour. cant complain. maybe ill go for my x-ray licence in the spring or something... that'll get me another raise.
we may have another buyer for the café. some spanish dude. I think he may want to totally change it though. not sure how I feel about that. in a way, I would like someone to come along and just rip the entire thing out and make something completely new. it would be weird and sorta sad to see someone else running what we started and held onto for 9 years. but then again, I think it would be more sad to see the last 9 years of our lives completely torn up and just thrown away. meh, its depressing to think about. im gonna miss it when its gone.
im finally going to an endocrinologist this week for my gimpy thyroid. the last few times I’ve had my blood checked by my doctor, the numbers keep getting higher, when with the meds im taking, they should be getting lower. I did a lot of research on it the other night and found out a lot of things I didnt know. not only is it the reason why im fat (ok, not the entire reason im fat...) and cant lose weight, but it also said that it can cause anxiety, depression, the inability to focus and learn, and sleepiness. that would explain a lot! and I just thought I’ve been going psycho the last few months =P and I also read all the stuff about it leading to diabetes, and thyroid cancer which is the fastest spreading cancer, and all that fun stuff. yay for scaring the shit out of myself. so hopefully the specialist can get it all under control and I can lose weight and be smart and not die.
yea so, im staying this home this entire weekend so I can catch up in chemistry, clean my disaster of a room, and try to organize my life a little. its now 10:00 on Friday night and what have I done? nothing. I need to do 2 chem labs and finish a paper by Sunday. knowing me, ill get started Sunday night. im not good at this breaking old habits thing.
I’ve gotten a bunch of phone calls from people I haven’t spoken to in so long in the last few days. I should really call them back. yea, im bad at that too.
ok, nothing else to update on. time to waste more time and watch Super Troopers.
im outtttt
