Ugh. my mother can be such a horrible wench sometimes. I stayed home from class today. True, i lied about feeling ill, but i only have two classes and one of them i'm ahead in and the other was cancelled. there was no point in my being there. So i called her to tell her that her dog is a tempermental little geek who made a mess of the floor in the livingroom just because my bedroom door was locked and he couldnt get in. and what does she do? she fricken goes off on me saying that i cant miss class anymore and this and this and that and the other. she gave me this long-ass lecture saying that if my grades go down i'm gonna be in big trouble. Hello, this is college mother, its not high school. I know my progress in my classes and i know that i'm doing fine right now. I'm ahead in two of my classes, i'm doing well in my Bio Lab and i have three more exams to make up for the C i got on my Bio Lecture exam. All in all, i'm riding on easy street right now so she needs to calm the hell down. grrrrr. She needs to realize i'm not a child anymore. Sure, i'm only 18 but i can take care of myself when it comes to school matters. Yes, i slack off. I slack off a lot. BUT i always get done what i need to and i always do it excellently. The fact that she cant see this is beyond me. gr. From now on, i'm not telling her when i decide not to go to class. she can suck it. gr.

GAH I was so tired when I got home last night. So i got to south beach yesterday exactly at noon. I was supposed to be there 20 minutes before my shift but yeah, that so wasnt happening. When i got there, they assigned this girl and me to a wine glass tent right outside of the grand tasting tent. It was a pretty ideal place to be. 1. We didnt get a lot of people because there was another wine glass tent closer to the entrance than we were. 2. We werent in the burning sun all day like the poor bailey's girls. haha. :D The drill was: Guests ask for a glass. We take their tickets Give them a glass (or in some cases, 2 or 3 or 10. that was annoying) Offer tasting Notes Have a nice day bye.
I liked our little tent haha. There were two older ladies there who spent the afternoon eating? haha but they were nice. There was this big tall guy who was pretty cute. Minus the giraffe-effect his neck had :o/ At one point there were like 7 volunteers at our tent? But yeah we didnt really get very many people so the staff people just sent them to a different tent. Luckily, it didnt rain like the stupid news said it would. But it was insanely hot. We did have a great view of the beach though. I so wanted to be on it. haha :D Towards the end of the event, people kept coming up to us asking for extra glasses. Dude. How many glasses did one person need? These three guys came up to us literally three times and took like 4 glasses each time. It got to the point where we had to start telling people that all of the glasses were dirty and we couldnt give them out. And even THEN, while we were packing up the dirty glasses, this guy comes up to the table, and grabs like three filthy glasses while we werent looking. DUDE. One couple of girls was actually asking if we had a sink so they could wash them out. ....right. Yeah kay anyway. Uh. other than that it was pretty boring. Bitch Dex called me twice. And was annoyed that i didnt answer. Twice. Well SUH-HORRYYYY, the first time i had my ringer off and the second time i had like 6 glasses in my hands. <33 :D :D :D
I got home with such a headache. I tried to stay awake but that was impossible. I zonked out on the couch and woke up at like 5:30am. Yeah. i hate when that happens. Ah well, thus is life. :D
Nat has a beautiful new layout up. I lovelovelove it. :D Louise also has another new layout up. So hit her up too :D :D :D <333

HAH. i bought the khaki pants. they are UGLY AS SIN. i'm gonna look like such a dork. go... me? feh. OK. SO... i'm like trying to think up stuff to say so this post wont only be the friday five. uh... i had my microcomputers midterm! it was... ok i guess. i think i definitely got a b or higher, so i'm not too worried. That class is seriously the most boring thing ever. feh. Uh.. i came home. took a nap. that was nice. Because i was up till past 2am last night talking to karla. i swear, i have the most twisted sense of humor ever. i can make people laugh about things they never would expect to laugh at. GO ME! :D :D uh. yeah. not like any of you care. i dont even care. uh.. yeah ok this is enough rambling to be a proper post. ON WE GO!
What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? I love reading novels. Magazines are usually pretty entertaining too but mostly i stick to novels. I've got a good long list of books to buy once i'm not so broke. Thus is the life of a college student. :o/
What is your favorite novel? The Stand by Stephen King. I read it once a year despite the fact that its over 1000 pages long. :D
Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!) I do, but its pretty long. It can be found at my Livejournal Userinfo. Its from the beginning of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is another of my favorite books. :D
What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read? Epic poetry. Like Dante's The Divine Comedy.
What are you currently reading? Currently? Sylvia S. Mader's Human Biology, Seventh Edition. ;D gaahhhhh too many text books, too little timeeeeeeee *spazz*
AGH AGH AGH Louise has a new layout up AND AND AND its of empire records! kdhgsd *spazz* haha i <333 the empire so check her outtttt. if she had a guestbook i would tell her THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH EMPIRE RECORDS, but sadly, she doesnt (hmph) so yeah. :D <333
Caroline and i spent like an hour and a half helping eachother play Gridlock. haha. That was fun. We are cheatersssss and we are cooler than your mom. haha :D
AAAAND i finally got my assignment for the SBWFF today. My shift is on Saturday from Noon to 5pm, so if you're gonna be in the South Beach area this weekend, come check me out, i'm handing out water for five hours. go me! haha. I'm actually kinda excited about it? It looks like its gonna be fun. haha. I hate what i have to wear though. Some ugly yellow tee shirt with the SBWFF logo on the front and VOLUNTEER printed all on the back and khaki pants or shorts. I dont even OWN khaki pants or shorts. So i'm gonna go with the mother-unit tomorrow and buy some. feh.
I ALSO finally got my cellphone fixed. YAY! haha but like.. my voicemail isnt working? so yeah i need to get that fixed tonight because i cannot live without my voicemail. i dont know how i did it for like 6 months. haha :D
I LOVE YOU ALL!! :D <333

eeeeeeeeee! Ive got the absolutely worst headache imaginable. I dont even know why i'm blogging. :o/ Nothing at all interesting has happened in the past few days. Well actually some stuff has, but its to be kept a secret until later. ;D
I had my lab midterm today. I failed SOBADLY its not even funny. Actually, a couple of the questions were easy since the answers were crossed out on the papers. all anyone had to do was look and they could have seen the answer. it was pretty funny. :D a couple of my friends didnt notice though, so after class when i told them, they went over and looked and felt so stupid for not noticing. haha :) Either way, i'm so dead. I'm gonna have to ace every quiz and do really well on the final in order to make up for this. :o/ So all hope isnt lost, i'm just really gonna have to work hard to keep up. I hate lab. :(
I actually really love my Bio lecture though. My teacher is so entertaining and shes always making weird jokes and things. If i have to take another science class at fiu, i'll want it to be with her. whee :D today we were talking about smoking and marijuana and all that stuff, and this guy just totally went off on a tangent about how he used to smoke up every day and this and that and the class was just... baffled. He does this often. Its pretty funny. :D Go weird guy with the funny stories! Go, GO! :D
God, writing any of this is intensely boring for me, so it must be HELL reading it, so i'm just gonna shut up and go now. ok bye!

Woo! Hah. ??? what the fruck is wrong with me? I've been high on life for like 2 days now? Ah well, better than being all depressed and stupid. woo! :D So i went last night out with karla. since neither of us lives so we figure we might as well have no lives together. We went to Pembroke Lakes Mall (*barf* i like the mall generally, but like everyone goes there, and i'm bound to see someone i know when i go there. Plus, ever since they opened a hot topic, all these little avril-wannabe lame asses have infested it.) so karla could buy a pair of jeans. Which she didnt do? She just bought cut offs exactly like the ones she was wearing. So that was pointless, whatever. We headed over to Gadzooks because karla wants to get a job there. DUDE. THEY HAD GOONIES SHIRTS! They had a Data shirt, and a Chunk shirt! I was freaking out? Karla was like "wtf is goonies?" "YO ITS ONLY THE BEST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES?!!?" "uh.. kay" ...she has no appreciation for good movies. *sigh* yeah so anyway. they had these really cute flip flaps by Sugar Shoes. A-fricken-dorable. But uh. way overpriced? yeah screw that. I ended up buying these cool pink sunglasses. (i SO need a new camera. feh) Karla bought these black wide-rimmed sunglasses with rhinestones on them that looked exactly like her reading glasses from last year. oh how much were they, great Celisse? $1.04! No wonder that little brat is rich. she gets all the luck of getting things way on sale? A dollar Four for a pair of sunglasses? In a MALL STORE? what a ho. We also went to her house and watched the Royal Tenenbaums. Yo, i told her she was gonna be bored. Well maybe i didnt tell her? But i told her its funny in a way thats not like "OMG HAHAHAAH" funny. I think its a good movie so whatever. haha. :D
In other news, Louise is back! I dont know her very well but ive been looking forward for her to come back so i could read her blogs and stuff. Shes cooooool so check her outttt! also, Nat had kind of a bad day. So give her much <333.
