Dazzle and shazzle

This will be the best post you've ever read.* It will not bore you to tears.* It will not make you nod off at the keyboard.* It will not... hey, where are you going?

*Lies, all lies.

So. Ballroom dancing was kinda fun. Kinda. Then today I had my first looooooong day at school. It was that, and then some. But I'll survive. ONE good thing about my odd schedule is that it's nice to know I don't have classes the next day. Nothing worse than getting piled up with homework for one day's classes, only to know the next day you'll get more for those classes.

But it was "eh" overall. I started off to school a little late, yet somehow made it on time. Still nerve wracking. I hate being late, especially on the first days/weeks. But then... I was at the school, waiting for my next class... I walk in 5 minutes early and nearly everybody is already there! They all gave me this look like "You're late." And the teacher had already started talking a bit. That sucked. Annoying!

Well, that's really just about all I have to say for myself right now. No big wonderful tales of my mind expanding days at school. Although during history I was thinking "Please let a meteor strike me." *groan* History. Yuck.

Oh wait! I'll leave you with this. Turns out they are trying to charge Ryan non-resident tuition. He's been a CO resident all his life. Despite being born 13 miles from the KS border and me teasing him about being a Kansas Boy. Anyways, we dropped off the appropriate forms (which is another story in itself that I'll spare you) and the lady says "The financial aid officer will let you know of his decision through the mail."

Let us know his decision? He doesn't get to decide if Ryan's a CO resident or not... Ryan is a CO resident! Case closed! For the sake of a cow!

PS. Ok, one more thing. The French book did show up today, so yay for that! Boo to the fact that it's not in very good condition (but I'll live) and boo that it was mailed 2 days later than they said they would mail it (they sat on the order for 5 days)... but it's here finally and I'm glad about that. Oh wait, one more thing, it's the teacher's edition! They never said so in their listing.
Still... I am just happy it's here and I didn't get majorly ripped off or anything.

And now for something completely mundane

I just want to say... starting school tomorrow! Sort of. Tomorrow the hubs and I will be doing our ballroom dancing class. I'm excited for the dance class, though a little annoyed that my 3 day school week had to turn into 4 thanks to this class. But it's ok. I'm telling myself that it's "just a dance class" not actual college. And the fact that the hubs will be there makes it so much better!

Tuesdays and Thursdays will be my long days. Class starts at 1000 and my last one gets out at 1915. (7:15 pm) At the "crappy" campus. But I'll survive. Too bad I get to park 100 miles away because this campus fills up just for the first 2 weeks, then people start dropping out. Arg. It's going to be a long, cold, winter walk in the dark to my car when I'm through with classes.

Anyways. My brain is just kinda "phlea" (phonetic) right now.

My French book hasn't arrived yet, and the seller hasn't emailed me back either. Sucks. I hope it shows up tomorrow.

It has arrived

Took long enough! I ordered this mouth guard thing for bruxism (night grinding of the teeth) 2 days after Xmas last year. I've watched it sit in Utah for a week, and then they finally shipped it to my city, then they shipped it up to Denver, and back down to my city to finally be delivered to me.

Oooookay. But at least I finally got it. On the last day they promised too, they promised it would be here between January 2-9. Good golly.

That's a funny word - delivered. Sounds like taking the liver out of something. Ugh. Gross.

Please accept me for who I am

Well, I filled out my university application last night and mailed it today. Along with a $50 bribe fee. *sigh* So stupid and annoying.

Took me awhile to fill it out too, the questions were worded strangely and then they only gave me 1 mm of space to write the answer in.

Anyways. It's out there, and let's just hope that it makes it to the right place. I have little faith in this college because they "lost" my transfer scholarship. Ugh.
Wonder how long I'll have to wait to find out? Hmmm.

No means no.

If all goes according to plan and goes well.... *knock on wood* I just ordered my textbooks from private sellers... and this will grant me a savings of $275.

My bill from the college was $510. (and I had only bought one book new because there were no used ones.) Now with these savings from private deals, my new book bill will be about $235.

I swear. I friggin' hate my college. The mark-up is just un-effing-real.

Drove home during rush evening when a nice snowstorm just moved in for the occasion. Goodness. I'm quite lucky to have not gotten hit by any of the morons out there. There were a ton of accidents. And major congestion. I really look forward to moving to a small town. I've had it with this big city mess.

Oh, and I accomplished stuff for changing to the 4 year university. I had to have my high school transcript mailed to the new college, and I hope the ladies get the address right. They said they would, but as I left they didn't sound so sure. :-( Tonight I'll fill out the full application, write my lovely check for the damn application fee, which was just smoking from writing the fee for my high school transcript... aaaaannndddd... that's about it.

That's enough boring details for now. Kirk out.

blah blah blah

It's my last week of freedom before I go back to school on the 14th. I have some crapola to accomplish this week. It'll be a bit busy around here.

I've been trying to work on my sleeping schedule. Apparently my natural body clock wants to stay up until 0400 and then sleep until about 1300. I always revert to this naturally once I'm on a break. Dang night owl-ness.

I had a 3rd shift job once. But it sucked because I had to stay awake until at least 0800... and we were living in a four-plex with daytime people. Who weren't quiet people to begin with. Also, it was summer time and I was trying to sleep during the hottest months of the day.

I just don't know what it is. I love the night. I'm like a bat or a vampire. Sun goes down and I wake up.

I kinda wish I didn't have to take French this semester... then my school days wouldn't start until 1300. However, I need to cram French in while the tuition is cheaper, even though I had to buy two books for the class. (hopefully I will get them used. I'm still sick about how high that bookstore bill is for my overpriced textbooks.) ANYWAYS... French starts at 1000 so that isn't bad. It's geography on Saturday that starts at 0900 that might hurt a little bit.

w00t

Guess what? I get to spend a minimum of $475 on my college textbooks this semester! I'm really excited, I think it's wonderful that I get to spend money I don't have on expensive books. I can't tell you all the hours I have spent worrying about spending less than $300 or something like that.

I'd like to thank all the little people who have made this possible. And I'm really glad that my high bookstore prices will fund other people's childcare... especially since I don't have any children at the moment to partake in the childcare center. I'm more than willing to throw a bunch of money to all you parents! I don't need it for anything really. Your children are far more important to me. College really is about childcare, not higher education.

I could continue to thank people, but I think they'll know how much I appreciate them when I reach deep into my pockets and pay up.

I'd better go get ready for my night ahead of hooking sleeping.

heart attack just waiting to happen

I just have to say something to get it off my chest right now.
I hate high strung people. Ok, actually... I hate it when people become high strung.

I have a family member who is constantly like that. High strung, anxious, wigging out all the damn time over nothing. I love this family member very much, but they are just a ticking time bomb I believe with a heart attack or a stroke.

If only I could lace their coffee with lithium or valium or something. Sheesh. It can be quite annoying to have to live with someone who's constantly going off the deep end, especially when they do know better but don't quit. (like a project bothering you? Walk away for a little while.)

Whoa... what?

What is this, random generated? LOL Well, heck, for a giggle and to start off my New Year feeling brilliant, I thought I would post this.

How wild.

I had a good New Year's. My dad's band was rocking out for some rich yuppies... the atmosphere was really kinda neat. As in the decor. And the drunk yuppies. Baby Boomer Yuppies. :-)
So I had a beer, a complimentary champagne and rang in the new year. Which I think will be a good one. Oh and me and the hubby cut a rug. Or else we just pointed with our fingers a lot on the downbeat. Ha ha.

HIPPIE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome 2008.

One of the weirdest things for me is for it to suddenly be January once again. We have to start all over. (but not really of course. Just feels that way sometimes.)

ETA: Because this blog has very little entries so far, I thought I would check my old one as well.

;-) Good times.
