Corn nuts are okay, if you haven't eaten them in about a decade and you're feeling really peckish... and they're all that is available.Today another student asked our professor if eating in the classroom was okay, and he said "Sure. *pause* Just don't eat corn nuts. They're way too loud and they make the room stink."LOL.

It's not earth shattering, just a little something to get off my chest.In my college graduation last year there were photos taken by this one big *cough*mass monopoly*cough* company during the ceremony. They sent out my proofs and one didn't look half bad, the other was even better than that.

I signed into my student portal for college and it lists me as a Senior. *sigh* I'm not really. I'm still technically a Junior.I had 6 semesters left to complete before I graduate when I transferred schools last summer, I have completed two of them. By the end of this spring semester I'll only be halfway done.This can just really suck.

Went rather well. I'm finally in classes I've wanted. Too bad I only have one year left to cram all the classes I want into my life. I hate that I had to waste my time on so many crap classes I had no interest in but was required to take. Feh.Not much to say about the day other than quickly figuring out which people in this class are going to highly grate on my nerves.

We have a special wooden box secured to the house for the flickers. (I always call them Flicker-dee-dees.)Well, the squirrels and flickers always fight for the box. Actually we do have two of them, I'm not sure who is in the second box. But the squirrels have won a box for now.

One a siamese and the other a calico. I've had them since they were kittens. (The callie was saved by my vet tech friend and she convinced me to take her.)Anyhow, so they were tiny when I adopted them. Well, whenever I let the ferrets out of their very large cage the kittens would head in there!
