The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Choir Director: I need you to sing Soprano in this song, Alto in these songs, and Tenor in this song.



Me: Challenge accepted!



I swear I'm going to have to highlight my parts in each song.

Well, tomorrows meeting will be interesting.



Not only did I dye my hair, I also invested in a straight iron AND curling iron.



I also picked up a nail stamping kit. But that isn't going to be anything surprising to my friends. It has to do with nails. So they don't care. xD

Yay loan day!





New speakers *_*



To make me feel better about spending leftover school money, I also bought a nice printer.



But holy crap at the speakers. They are spiffy.

A little bit of pondering to distract myself.



I have been told by my English teacher that I do not need to take the class he teaches because I can write very well. When I try to that is. Now, I do shorthand a few things and fragment sentences, but I'm not a complete idiot.



This on the other hand.....



Leroy *****: yo wats good wit ya



That was taken directly from my little brothers status.



This isn't a single isolated occurrence. This is a constant.



What happened in the 4 years difference? What happened?

So this morning I had an issue where I kept smacking my knee into the top of my CPU. This meant the computer would turn off. (My power button is on the top in the corner...)



So after a few of these incidents, I decided it was a sign. My computer was kicking me off so I would go work on my paper.



Our drafts for our first papers are due Tuesday. We have a choice between three topics. The first one was writing an essay about a neighbor that has done something honorable for you. The second was writing about something you've had to do in your life that was difficult and how you got through it. The third one, and the one I picked, was about illnesses. Either yourself or someone you know, write about what trials and issues they encountered with their illness. It can be either a physical problem or mental.



For the first time in my years of schooling, I wrote the "history" of myself. I started from the weeks leading up to my mental breakdown right up until today. It is supposed to be 600-700 words or close to 3 pages typed. My draft is 4 pages handwritten.



The problem? I need to "copy" three stylistic elements from the essays we read last week and show where I imitated them.



I wonder if I can get away with just saying that I'm influenced by one of the authors and I find that my own writing style to be the best.



My other issue is that we may do peer editing. Where I may be comfortable writing about this and turning it in as a paper, I'm not sure if I like the fact of having a peer read it.



Eek.

So a little bit of good news.



I made the Deans List.



Woo.



I swear, when my parents find out..it won't be a big deal.



It's just how they are.



"I made honor roll!" "Ok"



My brother: "I got a C in math!" "Wooo! Go you!"



:/

Dean's list is FABULOUS. :D



(Kick your parents - seriously - just because have known ans do know you are a smart, hard-working person is no reason to NOT make a big deal of the fact you are following through with hard work and using your intelligence!)





I am proud of you. :)

Oh, they understood I am smart and hardworking. My brother is a terrible underachiever. He dropped out of high school in 9th grade. When he got a good grade it was a miracle. When I got a B in a class, my parents were concerned.



I got the "Wooo!" when I came home with solos and awards for music. It evened itself out at some point.

So, we were heading to the store. I needed supplies and he needed gas.



We are sitting there and the Walgreens sign flashed the temp....



Winter. Go the fuck back to wherever you are hiding. 7pm and it was -22.



On another note. I feel sorta popular. A lotta people checking mah journal out today. Dunno why though. ._.



Did I piss someone off? o.O



Cause if I did, damn I'm fucking talented. Pissing people off randomly for no reason.



Whatever. I have cookies.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/go-dark/



If you guys have a WordPress website/blog, you can use that plugin to make your site "go black" in protest of SOPA.



Personally, I'll be doing something similar to my blogs.



If at the very least, I have to just hide all my posts for the day. It's worth it.

As to my dilemma last night.



Yesterday I tweaked my knee. This morning I woke up, unable to put weight on it and it swollen twice the size it should be.



That solved the problem right there. No school. Period. I can't walk from the living room to the bathroom without having problems. No way am I going to be able to trek through ice and up stairs without falling on my ass or causing damage.



Off to find the ice pack..



(And yes, I emailed my teachers and let them know I won't be there)

So I'm faced with a dilemma. Should I call the bus and cancel my pickup for the morning and see if I can swing a bus to be at the school by noon? I know they have to go that way to pick up kids, so it would be logical.



My morning class, and my favorite, was canceled. My choir director is sick. :(



I'll make her some cookies for Thursday. She is seriously more of a mentor than a teacher for me.



But I don't want to be at the school for 4 hours before my class.



Ugh. I'll sleep on it and figure it out in the morning.

My homework for my Comp class?



Read the stories in the first chapter of our book.



Well...that was easy. >.>



Took me all of 15 minutes. And there were 6 stories.



If this is all my homework is going to be, then I'm set for the semester. I'll sit and read the book one night and call it good.

So I am making loaf o'meat for dinner and I decided to spice it up.



Moooooooost people use ketchup. Or BBQ sauce.



Me? Salsa. *dances*



It smells amazing. Since I use cheese as a binder, not bread crumbs, it's gonna be tasty.

Haha! I just got done making my meatloaf.. Fixin to sit down and eat it. I use Worcestershire sauce, A1, and a little bit of ketchup in it and crackers as a binder... never liked using bread crumbs.

I'll have to try the salsa though. It sounds delicious. :D

Debating getting on cam, but decided that my face isn't up to it.



I have this small cut on the corner of my lip that has become slightly gross looking. Mainly because I can't seem to leave it alone.



Maybe sometime later this weekend.



On an unrelated note. I need money for some CU stuff. Sales *_*

So today's meeting went well. Instead of the normal 15-20 minute meetings the prior president used to hold, this one was an hour.



Not on purpose, we just got to work and were chatting about things we want to do. Apparently I'm a lot nicer than the previous president.



I'm also super nerdy. xD



I wanna do a game night and the rest of the guys are all for it. I am bringing the wii and they are bringing an xbox.



*dances* Yay for a good start.

"Your heat works just fine."



That is what the maintenance people told me when I moved in and complained that the heat didn't work.



I've been calling bullshit on them. Now I have proof.



I woke up and my little thermometer said it was 45 degrees in my apartment. The heat is turned up to 80.



No. No it doesn't work just fine. It doesn't work at all it seems. It's -8 outside. It's only going to get worse.



Space heater is only doing so much to warm the place up. :/



Meh.

... If they do not fix it, they are quite literally breaking your rental agreement and breaking rental laws. They are required to maintain a safe and habitable domicile. That means a functional climate control system.

Few things. This spans two "sections" of my journal.



First one, if you are reading this, thank you. That comment made my day. You know who you are.



Other junk. I had my sleep study last night. They didn't find any serious problems. They said I did show problems breathing, but not through my mouth. They believe there is something going on in my sinuses. They still want to do the nap test (I dunno the real name is) to rule out the possibility of narcolepsy.



I had my first classes of this semester. Freshman comp is going to be a fantastic class. The teacher is friggen hilarious. I also had Choir. Nothing really new there. Tomorrow night I have my abnormal psychology class. Same teacher I had for general psychology. He's pretty awesome as well.



Everything is going well so far.

Monday...why must everything happen on Monday.



Therapy. Must be at school to be introduced as new president. Class at 3. Sleep study.



For the love of bob, this needs some sort of working out. I can push the class to start next week. I can arrange my therapy for Wednesday instead. That means I can be at the school and then get to the sleep study in time.



*bangs head against desk*

If you knock yourself out by smacking your noggin on the formica, you'll not have an accurate sleep study.

New year?



I seemed to not notice much of a difference. What is a whole minute going to make in how you act in your life and the goals you set.



Do I have a resolution? Not a new years one that's for sure.



Last year I swore I was going to lose some weight. Yeah. Didn't happen. (Not for a lack of trying!)



Instead I did a few other things. I started school, I broke my nail biting habit, we got our own place. I made friends in this area. I also made it back down to Florida for a visit.



This year? Well, I'll keep fighting my ongoing battle with my feet. Last year I tried the pedegg (which does squat). This year I'm going to try Qtica stuff and then if that doesn't work, I'm cracking down and heading to a doctor to see what they can do. I'll keep chipping away at my schooling. I'll keep up with my dance/exercise thing. I'll keep walking to the doctors and the store instead of waiting for a car ride. The only exception to the walking rule is if it's -10 or below. That's a safety risk and I'm not fucking crazy.



I have no goals online. None. I don't want to be max level in any game. I don't want to reach a certain level here. Nothing.



I do plan on expanding my skills when it comes to tagging and scrapping, but that is because it does make me money. Money means it's not some bullshit point system.



I guess those are my insights for the coming months. I have a lot going on in life. I like it that way. :)
