Overheard in New York amuses me...

Answers to any questions about the impact of government shutdown. Yeah...cuz laying off 35000 helps our economy soo much. ::sigh:: The thing that bugs me the most is the following question/answer:

40a. I have a child in foster care and have visitation scheduled for October 1. Will I be able to see my child?
As long as the visit was not scheduled at DHS office or with a DHS employee, the shutdown should not affect your visit.

::sigh:: If the child is young enough, s/he won't understand why Mommy or Daddy didn't come to visit like always. Most likely, the kid would just think 'Mommy or Daddy doesn't love me anymore.' Just cuz the state is broke doesn't mean that they should screw up the visitation. That's just wrong.

All right, I'm done complaining. Oh, and yesterday when I was looking up "associated press Michigan shutdown" on Google...I found a link to one that's in a UK newspaper. According to my mommy we're the laughing stock of the world. Woohoo!!

Ugh...I still think that my psych teacher is a fruit loop... We had the first test this morning...it was pretty easy...I'm thinking the worst that I possibly did was a 40/50 points...so not too bad. We watched the movie Mean Girls in class this morning...not quite sure what it has to do with the next chapter, but oh, well...the movie is funny. But seriously, every week my teacher starts class with some music that she thinks is soothing and then tells us to go to our happy place...okay, not quite those exact words, but still...

And the following from Overheard in New York amuse me...

Professor: What words do we get from the name Aphrodite?
Student #1: Hermaphrodite.
Professor: Yes -- from the union of Aphrodite and Hermes. What else?
Student #2: Aphrodisiac!
Professor: Good! And what is an aphrodisiac?
Students: [Silence.]
Professor: Are you all Victorians? Come on... What's it called when one uses something to arouse sexual appetite?
Student #3: Necrophiliac! [Class laughs.]
Professor: I have to advise you to invest in a dictionary, as it's simply prudent to know the difference between a necrophiliac and an aphrodisiac. Hopefully, you won't ever need to thank me for that.

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...I have a little under three chapters to read of my psych book before the test tomorrow morning...and I really don't want to do it... I hate that class so much!! I have to read a few pages of my Spanish book and do the exercises in the workbook, too. And sometime before Wednesday, I need to read two chapters of my anthropology book...and lots of pages in my two history books. But...yays for me...I got the highest grade in the class on the first history test!!

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...and I need to go to Secretary of State...need to get the registration for my vehicle renewed. Oh joy...lots of time at a slow government agency...

This afternoon, I have to take my 11 y/o brother up to our mom's work and drop him off, so that as soon as my mom gets off of work...they can go to his eye appointment. The kid is seriously blind. Poor boy.

Ugh...I should go shower, get dressed, brush my teeth and get my stuff done that I need to get done...but I so don't feel like it. Hooray for procrastination!

we’ll still be waiting for something stimulating because in the end all you sold us was boredom

I already have an engagement ring...and mine so does not look like that...mine is a million times prettier...plus it's much simpler and elegant...it's beautiful!! Totally the traditional engagement ring...only drawback is that it didn't come in a little blue box wrapped in blue paper... Oh, well...somehow I do believe that I'll live... Y'know...seeing how the meaning behind the ring is way more important than any store ever could be... (no sarcasm there...hopefully, you didn't need that pointed out...)

there's not much going on today I'm really bored it's getting late

I watched those two girls on Monday and Tuesday...it was super easy...they're so well-behaved. Plus, the younger is just so cute! I'd be willing to watch those girls again if their parents asked.

Yesterday, was the first test in my MI history class...seriously, I think it took me all of 10 minutes to complete...and that was the only thing that we were doing in class yesterday. I wasn't at school for very long. But...I think that I did pretty well...as in an A on the test. Hopefully, anyway. Tuesday was the first prueba (quiz) in my Spanish class...I think, at most, I got a 95...that's not so great...I wanted a 100. Oh, well... Yesterday afternoon, we had another of those in-class writings in my anthropology class...I despise those...hopefully, I got at least 4/5 on it...I really don't want the same crappy grade I got on the last one. Or worse.

Was she stabbed? Seriously...what's going on with her middle?

Oh...em...gee...my grandparents are here...my grandma drives me crazy!! I'm going to go eat now. Ciao!!

there's something wrong with the world today I don't know what it is something's wrong with our eyes

There just aren't any words... I mean, what possesses someone to do that? I don't expect the world to be perfect, but c'mon...

Anyway...I'm watching two little girls today and tomorrow...it's not so bad. They seem like well-behaved kids. So...yeah... I'm really sleepy today for some reason. I'm not sure why. It kinda sucks, actually. And I had a really weird dream about spiders last night...it was super creepy!! I hate spiders so very much!! I'm going to go do something slightly more productive now...like, hit the "check mail" button for my email...ciao!!!

I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the top she's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin' like a clock

Well...it's been a week since school started...and I've been to all of my classes now... I already had my Spanish teacher before, so I knew what to expect and I like him. He's a pretty good teacher. Not so sure about my psych teacher yet...she's really kinda out there. I mean, c'mon, the first thing she had us do in class was make masks...it's a psychology class, not an art class. But...I'll give her a few more weeks before I decide if I like her or not. My anthropology teacher seems pretty cool...so far I like her. My history teacher seems pretty cool so far, too.

I figured it was time to update my "About me" section...but the old one is still pretty true and I didn't know if I should get rid of it or not...so I just copied it here:

Hmmm...what to say...I am me. Whether that's unique or not...I really don't know. I am definitely much too narcissistic for my own good, but...oh, well. Deal with it. I'm really friendly, but I tend to come across as stuck-up. It's just that I can be shy around people until I am comfortable with them. After I become comfortable around a person, I don't shut up.

My goal in life is to become an ER physician...I decided that at age nine. I'm determined to achieve my goals, sometimes that gets misconstrued as stubborn. I'm that also, and independent and intelligent. I'm also naive and jaded, cynical and optimistic...just a walking contradiction. I am a science nerd...I'm comfortable being that.

And I have one of the shortest attention spans...ADD much?

Yeah...I'm busy procrastinating...I really don't feel like doing my homework...it's so much reading!! I'll probably get it done later...like after I finish eating and folding that laundry over there in the corner... I don't know...I know that I have to get it done soon. Grr... I need to come up with a personal growth project for my psych class...but I have no clue what I want to work on. I don't like my teacher too much...she's quite weird...too soft-spoken and flighty. Whatever...I'm done eating now...it's time to leave the computer... Arrivederci!

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top

Grr...I had maybe five hours of sleep last night...possibly four... Do you know what time I went to bed? 1:00a...do you know how long it takes me to fall asleep on average? Approximately an hour...do you know what time I was startled awake? About 4:30a...do you know what time I fell back to sleep? Around 7:00-ish...only to be woken up again by the sounds of my mom and youngest brother getting ready for work and school, respectively, around 8:00a. I finally went back to sleep around 9:00a only to be woken up by my internal alarm clock (read: I couldn't breathe anymore cuz my allergy medicine had worn off) around a quarter to 11:00a. I'm too tired to do the math on the amount sleep I got...all I know is that it was very broken and I'm still tired.

::sigh:: I wanted to shoot my stepfather this morning. It was his stupid alarm going off that startled me awake. I woke up to my room filled with music...it was so loud that I thought it was my mom's alarm, that's why it startled me. I was worried that they (meaning my mom and my younger brother in his room) were sleeping through it and my 11 y/o brother was going to miss his bus. Yeah...it was just the alarm clock in the basement...and it was 4:29a... What pissed me off the most was that my stepdad didn't even bother to go back downstairs and turn it off before he left the house for work...I was trying to ignore the damn music filling up my room and go back to sleep, and then I heard him start up his car and leave! So I turned on my bedroom light before his car was gone...it was with the hopes that he saw my bedroom light on and thought, 'did my loud alarm wake her up?'...and then went downstairs to shut off the stupid, noisy thing. I couldn't figure out how to reset the alarm for the next day...so I just turned off his alarm completely. Ha...hopefully, I don't forget to tell him about that...otherwise he'll be late for work tomorrow. Big, fat poopyhead.

Ugh...and I have a bunch of homework to get done today, too... I still don't know what I want to present on in my psych class...I hate having to do a presentation in front of the class. Grr... I'm excessively crabby today... Oh, man...and I have a PTK meeting this evening... ::sigh:: I just want to go back to bed until Saturday...oh, wait...I have something Saturday morning at 10:30a...

who knows what could happen do what you do just keep on laughing

Grr...so...Sprint sent new phones, and so far we've had the new phones since Thursday and they're as of yet unusable... Makes a lot of sense doesn't it...??? I called the 800 number yesterday...that was a waste of time...and as far as I can tell, the call today from my mother was just as wasteful... I don't understand why they would send new phones, but make it so very hard to make them usable. It's quite frustrating. Especially since I didn't even get to pick out my new phone. I hate the color red and now I have a red phone. Oh well...it's a pretty small phone...and it does all the things a phone is required to do, such as send/receive phone calls...I shouldn't complain. Right? If only the phone was usable!! Plus...I'm not understanding how my phone line was in the process of being activated yesterday...my phone line is already activated, my number just needs to be transferred from the old phone to the new phone. The customer service guy I talked to didn't answer that for me...he avoided answering by saying, "if you have any more problems, call again tomorrow." Umm...okay...thanks for being so very helpful... ::sigh:: I'm just frustrated. Nothing feels like it's been going my way lately and I've just been highly stressed out. It's a great feeling. It really is. Try it out sometime...I'm sure the resulting myocardial infarction is worth it. Really...it is... All right...well...I have a headache...so I'm going to go lie down for a while...ciao!!
