Here comes MAY!

Today is the las tday of April, and rain clouds have been looming for days. I'm waiting for it to just open up and pour. I should probably go upstairs and move all of my things away from that leaky window. I should also probably be getting ready for work. I decided today I was going to start looking for a new job, especially when I checked my bank account and my funds were alarmingly low. Just when I think I'm going to make it and not have to stress about overdrafts and late fees, I get a little kick of reality and SURPRISE!

Lucky for me, my other bank account has been unusually high in funds. I guess that extra $50 dollars or so a month that dont' get used from my paychecks on car payements and insurance adds up pretty quick. And boy am I grateful!

So I looked around. Put my resume on Monster, filled out a few applications. I may be working two jobs this summer, but at least I will have some cash flow. It is time for me to grow up and start taking better care of my finances. Something I should have doen the moment I moved out here.

Ok, time to get goin. I have one hour before I have to leave and have yet to shower. Or any of those other necessary things. Including walking the dog.

Until later Mis Amores!

Okay, I give up

Alright, I gave up on that last one. I can't remember two theories of children's are development. Maybe through bloggin I will... or not. I don't really care! I answered all the rest and rocked them, so yeah. Woop.

I can't even focus to blog cause there is something else I want to talk about. But I just can't do it! Sometimes, life is so confusing.

FINALS

I have a take home for one of my classes. And I can't make myself focus. I want to go outside and sit and read. Even though it is super windy out. Take homes are LAAAAAAAME. Especially when you aren't supposed to use your notes. I mean, come on! Not that I need them. But it makes it that much more 'unfun.' ANd hard to focus. I'm only supposed to use 2 hours and 40 minutes and record my start and end time, So far I've used up 45 minutes. I answered maybe five out of 15 questions then started playing on the internet. I am sucha abad student. FOCUS and I would be done by now.

Ok, I will go back now. SHEESH

Stop making junk food healthier!

I mean, really. If I want to eat healthy, I will eat healthy. But I am tired of picking up junk food for its comforting qualities to find they have reduced the amount of salt, or creme filling. Honestly people. I know what I am getting myself into. I am perfectly aware that my finals/break-up diet of a package of cookies and a bag of cheetoh's will certainly lead to an early death. Or at least some sort of health problems. But that's why I balance it out with good meals! That's why I eat apples, and bell peppers and all sorts of good stuff when I don't need my comfort foods.
Today I was really counting on the salty goodness of this tube of pringles, but they are much lower in salt content than I remember. Honestly, chips that come in a tube? Do I REALLY expect them to help me lose weight? NO! I eat them for their tastiness, not quality.
Diet, low fat, sugar free (ok, its ok for diabetics, in fact vital, but for all of us who don't have that problem...) all of it is to trick you! You want something low fat? EAT A VEGETABLE! And stop complaining about your weight and blaming it on my pringles! Take responsibility for your diet. If you eat fatty foods, you will be a fatty. You are what you eat people! And I want to be a tube of salty pringles!

AGAIN

For anyone who remembers, a few months ago I was rushing around the house to get things done, trying to pick up some extra slack cause my poor roomie couldn't walk! I had been studying in her room with my computer and when she needed to go to the pharmacy to get some meds I put all of my things on the coffee table in the livingroom. Books, comuter, lunch dishes. I had eaten the fod, but not quite finished the water. NOT THINKING I left it all together. Well, take her to get her meds, then went out to dinner with my dear Cassandra. Came back to find my cup of water had been knocked over, spilling directly into my computer. I was DEVASTATED.

I replaced my computer (that was a tough one, these things are expensive!) adn made a vow to NEVER EVER EVER! leave anything wet next to my new computer.

Fast forward to today. Normally, I use a waterbottle with a locking lid and carry that around to drink out of. But I left it in Amber's car (oh no! She just left for charlottesville for the week) so Iw as using a cup. No problem. I can drink out of cups... I had it on my nightstand and my computer on my bed. NO DANGER.

Then AMber called and asked me to bake some cookies for a baptism so I packed upall my things and took them downstaris. Completely forgot about the cup of water (today was a little hectic, with all the text-message fighting and being angry and emotional) and drove the cookies out to monument. I came back and went downstairs to finish my paper for my final tomorrow. I saw a large pink cup knocked over. I ran to the table and immediately started drying things. I opened my computer and the mouse was still working so I thought I was safe. Just in case, I ejected Cass's disc. FIve minutes later I heard a strange noise, and havent' been able to turn my computer on since. Really? REALLY? I spilled water on my computer AGAIN? At least this time, I have it covered... I think. I should be able to get it replaced for free. Let's hope. If not, I will be without computer for a while. I can't possibly buy another one. I will just have to smile pretty at ym friends and borrow theirs for my homeworks. And stuff.

Anyway, I have one last project to finish before bed.

Here's to hoping the mac people take pity on me!

One week later

Ok, that was difficult. I won't lie. And I know I repeated some.  The good thing to remember is that there are many things to be grateful for. Even things I don't need.  Such as my computer, or even more, my blog... yeah.  But there are a lot of things that I couldn't live without so it is good to say our thanks every once in a while to remember that we have them.  Yeah, water is available, but how much of our water is undrinkable? So I am grateful that I still have access to clean water. =D

On another story. I am going to share with you the AMAZING projects I have done this semester in my children's literature class.  I am so proud.  I will make one big post next week after class is over over. We still have one project left, so I'll wait on that.

And in OTHER news: THE SUN IS OUT AND IT GETS WARMER EVERYDAY!

So happy.

And in OTHER news. I can carry a conversation in spanish with my first graders. Yay me.

And in OTHER news- I think I am done with this. =D
