School Update - if you really care.

Haha, yeah like anyone really gives two shits about school, but it might be cool to read this years later and laugh. I usually do when I read shit I wrote years ago back on Live Journal. So I finished my first semester back at school. I did pretty good. I got all As and Bs and one C. Guess what subject? ALGEBRA! Ha... thats literally the best I can do tho'. I am horrible at math of any kind. In High School, I didn't do so great. But I didn't CARE. I hated school. I was more interested in figure skating, marching band, or the many other music programs I was in. School was just in the way. It was something I had to do, reluctantly. My old phrase I used to always say "Why go to school?! Its not like you get paid to go!" If I were paid I'd def go more! I guess now that its college, I'M paying for it (albeit on loans, I do have to pay them back in 3yrs), so I am more serious. Also, I'm going to school, NOT cuz its the norm and everyone does it, not to fuck around and party (damn, i'm gonna be 30 in 5 months now c'mon!), but to get a new , stable career, since I guess my marketing and finance career paths have hit dead ends. Maybe if the economy didn't crash I'd sitll be in one of those industries, but.. it did, so here I am.

Oh, and I saw on NJN news that the unemployment rate is UP once again. 100,000 new jobless claims were opened. Lovely. Doesn't seem to be looking up anytime soon. I need to switch careers now more than ever!

I am now working at Monmouth University, for a while. Nothing goes too long. I'm there til Jan 29th. Then looking for the next one. I work w/ 18-23yr olds. I'm the oldest one there. Its a minimum wage job. Its a cashier. I'm so embarassed. Its really doing nothing but going towards my yearly $1500 I must make to continue getting unemployemnt (regardless whether I have money in my pool,which I do, I have to make that money). It is also pocket money for moi. I am planning on getting my hair did tomorrow. I am just getting a maintenence cut. Not getting it did for any occasion. That reminds me, I gotta find a pic.

I went to my own school today because I was only able to take 3 classes this semester and I really wanted to take the maximum course load (even tho it will kill me, its worth it in the end). I left my days completely open for working possibilities,but am doubtful I'll find anything. If I do, I don't see it as being that long running. My courses meet more than once a week and its a full schedule, but what am I gonna do during the days? Sleep? Um, no. I don't want to fall into night owl mode again, never seeing the sun. I wanted to add two more courses. Maybe online ones. This way I can do it when I have time. Either days or on Fri or Sun when I'm off. I went to the school and waited for 2hrs to see a counselor to approve my classes and I decided to take music appreciation as my HUMANITIES that is required. There is also a course called humanities too. I'm not exactly sure how music appreciation is a humanties course,but whatever. I figure I go to the symphony all the time anyway. I'm musically educated since age 9, why NOT use it to my advantage? So I did. The problem? I don't know what to do in an online course. Oh and it cost $559!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Thank god for financial aid but.. I have to pay all this back. Idon't even want to THINK about this now....

Speaking of music.... get a load of this shit ^. WTF is that?! Is that even REAL?! It looks like an entire score on one staff!I don't know how anyone can read that. I think its prob fake, cuz some of the groups of whole notes form shapes on the staff and that just doesn't happen. But regardless I was just drawn to that picture cuz of it's ridiculousness. But I APPRECIATE it. Hence music appreciation I guess. *shrug*

I didn't even get the books yet. The bookstore is only open Mon-Fri 9-5. WTF? What about night students?! Thats not fair! So I haven't gotten any. Working at Monmouth U, I noticed the books there are so exp and some courses ask for more than one book. I really hope mybooks aren't supa expensive. I may ask my dad if he'll pay for them so I can pocket the rest of my financial aid as my safetly umbrella-ella-ella cuz my UE claim renews soon and usually you go a month w/ no income during a renewal. Its really rough. Really. I'm actually stressed about that right now. =/ Last time I almost got evicted when i went that long w/ no income. My fin aid can pay the rent for 3mo if I get what I think I'm gona get back. Let's hope! *crosses fingers*

So I'm gonna start school again next week. Its gonna be a rough semester. Very rough. But I really wanna be done with school. I'm too old to be there and tired of dealing with the immaturity that are 18yr olds making fart noises, and other things kids do.

Also, other happenings in my life are as follows. I apprarenly have 2 cavities. I went to the dentist this summer when I was insured w/ the shitty temp insurance. They didn't see any cavities. Unless these are new, I wish I could yell at those people and thank them for wasting my money. I got tests done at the county clinic (since I'm now back to insurancelessness again) and the dentist accidentally cut my gum open. She sent me home and it got infected. I called to bitch. They wantd to charge me to come back in. I bitched some more and said it was HER fault and I should not be charged. I threatened to come in with or without an appt and MAKE her see me. You can't fuck w/ infections in the mouth. Iv'e had alot of dental work and complications to know that it spreads to the brain very easilly. So 4 days later she sees me. Admits her mistake and gives me amoxicillan...which I forgot to take 3x today. oops! Not use to any medicine regimen.

My dad called me about shop rite's Can Can Sale..........AGAIN! I get this call every year. My dad used to work for the company that owns Shop Rite and he's OBSESSED with Shop Rite (a grocery store in NJ) I think my dad misses working and if it weren't for his heart condition, he'd still BE working. Every year they have a Can Can Sale and its discounted canned food. I think now its other shit besides cans. But in the 80s it was almost all cans. I don't EAT canned food *dons princess crown* but I would get the other non can shit on sale. As a matter of fact, I went to Shop Rite yesterday to fill the Amoxicillan Rx cuz its free there and got ALOT of shit on sale while I was there. I think the Can Can is theonly time I'll shop at Shop Rite. Their meat is too expensive. I'm a big meat eater so...... yeah.

Been doing some work in the ice rink lately, getting my legs n' thighs back into the swing of things. I haven't gone in 8mo and boy does it make a difference. I really wanna jump but I shouldn't w/ no insurance =( but..... hehehe. I was always good w/ jumps and.......yeah. I think we know what happens next. TOE LOOP!!! lol. Not the best spinner. I have to practice those a lil' more.

I lost 9 lbs, but then gained 4 back in 10hrs yesterday. I didn't eat much at all so I'm not sure why i gained 4b ack but I probably am not taking in enough calories. So I decided to eat MORE! Losing weight is so hard. I'm gonna KILL the person who's actions caused me to gain all this weight. UGH! I refuse to be fat forever. Its been 2yrs of fathood already. 2yrs is enough. I want my athletic body back! I sitll have it. Muscles n' all..............under the fat. But noone knows it but me *sings*.

I was gonna write more but my gum hurts. Fucking dentist! I am not a painkiller girl, so I refuse to take anything for the pain. The icecream I ate helped but its worn off. Usually I drink water all day to soothe the pain but its getting close to bedtime and I dont wanna have to get up in the middle of the night to pee so I have to curtail the water intake for now.

Time to go. Jersey Shore is on in 45 min and its a double episode. Plus theres shit on at 11 I wanna see. I don't know if I'll stay up that late (I tiyad) but I'll try.
