WTF?

OK so I'm driving home from Kroger, and I see a pedidal (for those who don't know that's a car with only one headlight working). And i'm like "that's so ghetto lol" so I turn in to the parking lot, and in the reflection of the truck in front of me I discover one of MY headlights is out! WTF! I'm so mad! It's kind of ironic, though, but still I'm a little upset because now I have to have it fixed. Which I can't afford to do.

...sigh...

I got another journal on livejournal... I think I"m going to use it for teaching stuff or maybe just to have two I don't know. But yeah.

OK bye.

Calvin and Hobbes...

Man lately I've been thinking about how much I miss that comic strip... I mean I've talked to some people and they said the never heard of it and that just blows my mind... how could you NOT hear of Calvin and Hobbes? Best comic ever. Sometimes I wish Bill Watterson would come out of retirement and start making it again, but I know he won't. In a way, I am like why would you retire something so awesome and successful? But at the same time he didn't want others to pervert the true nature of the comic by copyrighting and trademarking and stuff like that... kind of like how Garfield is now, and Garfield isn't nearly as funny as it used to be and I kind of think it is because of that. There are the illegal trademarks (i.e. Calvin peeing on a car logo, etc.) but that's bad too.

I related to Calvin a lot. Because I feel like I was Calvin at that age, having a huge imagination, my add getting the best of me. That's why I loved it. Calvin's undying imagination. My mom was saying how she didn't like Finding Nemo because she couldn't imaging a fish being stuck in a fish tank and going in the ocean to find his dad. Um mom. Obviously you don't like any children's animated feature then. It's stupid. She's lost her imagination. Something I hope never to do.

Why is it already Tuesday night? Where has this week gone!?!?

El Breako de Primavera

What a break so far. After some weird driving mishaps I got home safe and sound Thursday night and we had lasagna and it was soooooo good. Then Friday we did pretty much nothing... I worked that was it.

Saturday was a good day. I called Ashley and we went to Kavarna and caught up with what was going on. It was her last day on spring break as she had to go back to Iowa the next day. A couple of other friends showed up and we played Set. Then Jenny and her boyfriend showed up and we went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It was really really good. And I put a link in there. I'm like Katie now.

Sunday Grandma came and we went to church and then we went shopping and then me and dad watched the badgers lose in a nailbiter (Stupid Pitt). So my bracket is totally screwed up as is everyone else's I'm sure.

Today I went to the dentist and I learned I brushed too hard.

The end.

Wait! Crap. OK Blog entry part deux

I AM GOING TO SEE RUSH ON JUNE 7TH IN MILWAUKEE BECAUSE IT IS MY 21ST BIRTHDAY PRESENT YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY I AM SO EXCITED AWESOME AWESOME DJGLSKJGLDSLF!!!!!!11

I HATE DAYS LIKE THIS

Today was a horrible day. Culminating from yesterday. Every teacher decides to assign a paper or something and chooses the class before the class when it's due to either assign it or explain it in detail. So I have two papers due tomorrow. Plus I had the stupid management plan for ed psych, plus stuff for choral tech, plus the teach STILL hasn't called me back, plus some other stuff... I'm just so stressed out I want to scream.

AHHHHHH!!!

There that's a little better.

Anyway something that made me laugh for the first time in two days was something Vanessa said

Me: I said "shit" and I was like "yes I swore I'm so stressed out I swore"
Me: And someone was like "Even thogh that's not really a swear word"
Vanessa: you know, it's wierd, i wonder who actually decided that those are "bad words"
Vanessa: cause it's not like the bible says "thou shalt not say the word shit"

And then Dr. Forbes told us about how Dr. Holmes left for a festival in Iowa early this morning, and he rented a car because he doesn't like taking his car out of town or something. 15 minutes after he left they called the school and said the festival is cancelled. 5 hour drive. Wow.

OK back to the crapload of homework... I leave in about 41 hours for spring break.

Packer analysis

So Josh Bidwell is leaving the Packers which starts the search for a punter. Now, I wish Kevin Stemke was still a free agent or something, because as a fellow Preble High School grad he has a shot. Problem is, he signed with Washington back in January, but now that they signed Tom Tupa he's most likely going to be let go when the teams start cutting people in preseason. I hope we sign him if that happens that would be awesome for him. That is unless we pick up a quality punter before that.

Fun times.

So Dustin's bible study group (myself included) all went to Jenny and Erik's house for snacks and male (+ 1 female) bonding stuff. We talked for a while, and it was a little uncomforting at first (lots of awkward pauses) but after awhile we were just laughing all the time and stuff. Then we played Mario Kart and Dustin beat everyone except Erik. Then I played pool. I'm getting better. I need to play quite a bit more though.

So hopefully I will get $150 to get to do room draw, and then hopefully I'll get into Oakland, and then hopefully it will either be a single or an open double with Garrett or even if not that sign up to be a roommate with someone else I know. Ah well, just saying things are looking up living-quarters wise.

Rush is going to be in Milwaukee

I want to go.

Been a few days.

Oratorio was at the front of the lifelife for me... it's over now thank goodness. It was a long night.

I can't wait until this year is over. I mean, I'm not looking forward to this 20 hour internship that i have to do... to make it worse, it's during the afternoon. I mean, I gave them my schedule for a reason. my mornings are definately open. and what do they do. Oh, they put me with a teacher who only teaches afternoons. Great. Why does everyone demand so much of me... spring break can NOT come soon enough. Less than two weeks. Thank God.

I signed up to do a pool tournament. It should be fun. I probably won't win, Jamel probably will, if he signs up (he hasn't on the downstairs one). So who knows.

Anyways that's it.
