It's MY party, and I will cry if I want to.

So much going on lately...

They finally fixed my grade. Now it shows up as a 3.84. Not too shabby.

I finally figured out how much of a dumbass the people at the WVU Financial Aid office are. They sent me stuff for paying back my direct loans (because for some odd reason they said my graduation date was now, which is totally off), AND they also sent me someone else's information about their direct loans and their SS#, address, phone #, etc. Big mess. I need to go in sometime, but damn it, why should I have to take someof my precious time to go down their for their dumbass mistake??

I've started filling out applications for the nursing program. If all of that works out, which I don't see why it wouldn't, I will be starting that program this Spring semester after I graduate in December. That program is supposed to last 18 months, BUT since I already will have a degree, I can start the master's program after 1 year and still finish up the BSN while working on the master's. The master's program lasts 4 years (2 in class and 2 at Ruby Memorial), but I will be working during that time. I can also take the N-CLEX sometime during the BSN and start working as an RN for the time being and get the hell out of Wal-Mart. So, if my calculations are correct, I still have 5.5 years of school left. *shiver*

Birthday was wonderful other than being sick for a while with a nasty headache which I have been getting quit often lately. We went in Thursday to Braxton and spent some time with our parents. Mommy made me a birthday dinner and some cake, and she also bought me this cool belly button ring and a lilac rose bush. I also took in her redbud tree for the late mother's day present. Russell's mom bought me a cute skirt, shirt, and jeans (which are both a size 10 and fit comfortably...yay). Russell bought me two romantic presents: "The Notebook" and a beautiful gold ring with a pink heart. It was very sweet. He though I already knew, though, because he let it slip once by saying a ring, but I didn't hear him and he tried to cover it up by talking about a ring in the bathtub (which there wasn't one...hehehe), but I really didn't even know, so it was a nice surprise. He also took me to the Beanery, and I got a mudslide...yummy. Which also reminds me, I had to go get my new driver's license Friday morning, and Russell took me to eat birthday breakfast at McDonald's....mmmm.

So, anyway, I've got a lot of complaining to do about the ol' job-eroonie, but I will save that for a later time.

Toodles.

English teachers are certainly no math wizzes.

I am very peeved with my English teacher right now. She gave us our final grades at the end of the semester so we would know whether we wanted to do her extra bonus or not, and mine was a 92% which is an A. I excitedly looked at my final grades online, and what do I see?? I see a B-!! Not even a B...but a little slash thingy attached to it meaning you barely got a B, but they felt sorry for you. I did not deserve that letter or character attached to it. I even recalculated the grade myself, and *drum roll please* I got a 92%, as well. I already emailed her once, but apparently she does not use that particular email because she didn't write back. So, I looked at my syllabus, which had a totally different email than the one WVU provided, so they should update those things! Anyway, I emailed her back this morning, grumbling the whole time, but still trying to be nice because people make mistakes. If she doesn't email me soon, her home phone number is listed on our syllabus, and by golly, I am not afraid to use it.

In other news, we decided to get a subscription to the Braxton Citizens' News just so we can stay up on all the current "news" and gossip. I am very excited to receive the first issue.

Our vacation is also coming up soon, and I cannot wait. We are going to have a blast together! 8 days away from Wal-Mart and alone with the one I love in a warm place with salty water...couldn't be better...unless we were at our cabin. ;) That jacuzzi in our room is going to see some very disturbing things....*snicker*

WOW

A few things to talk about today. First of all, I am very saddened by a good friend's death. I had been around this person a lot due to softball, band, and 4-H with her daughter Edie, and I got to know her well. A very nice and kind family, and I will miss seeing her when we go in to visit for different functions. It won't be the same. I won't drag this on because it's not fair to rehash what has happened for people, so I will move on to another topic. I just wanted to send my apologies to a good friend and a good person to let her know that I care.

A few things that are a little more upbeat:
School is officially gone, and I couldn't be happier. I actually have a little time to myself and time to play with my flower garden and get this house into shape. We signed another year contract, by the way, which is super great because this place is so nice, and we really enjoy our time here. I'm just preparing myself to do some super spring cleaning because it needs it...bad.

I just found out that I received an A in Physics which I wasn't really expecting. So, that's 5 As, one more to go. :) I'm so excited. It was so hard and stressful on me having 19 hours of classes (hard ones at that) AND 30 hours of work/week, not to mention taking care of Russell and Gunther and cleaning and stuff. I think it really shows how hard I worked to get such good grades this semester when I had to juggle work, also. I'm very happy about that. More on that when I get my last grade.

Also, Russell and I have been playing World of Warcraft like it's going out of style. Russell has been playing it for a long time, but we just bought me a copy of it and payed the monthly online fee, so we started new characters to play together and that is all we've been doing in our free time! It's so much fun, and 10x more fun because we play it together. No wonder I haven't started my spring cleaning....hehehe. We also had a nice hotdog cookout the other day which was tons-o-fun! I even tried something new by taken shucked corn, buttering anf salting it, wrapping it in tin foil, and grilling them. It was pretty good, but tasted about the same as if I would have steamed them like normal.

Work front is okay. I still don't ever want to go, but you'll have that with Wal-Mart. They've upped my hours this next week to 40, but the week after it's like 32, but I get three days off, so that's nice. My raise starts next week, I think. $7.45 an hour. Not too shabby for a Wal-Mart job. I will have been working there for a year when that raise comes through. Scary.

Just push play - they're gonna bleep it anyway.

Finals week - *shiver* Not too bad, though. Let's see, I am already finished with 3 classes, and I have A's in all 3, so now there are 3 classes left.

Monday
3:00-5:00pm ~ Stats
7:00-9:00pm ~ Physics

Tuesday
8:00-10:00am ~ Animal Physiology

DONE!

Like I said, not too bad. BUT, I haven't been studying like a good girl. I may get a B in a couple of the classes, but that's not bad with the hard classes that I have. I would have had an A if I would have studied a little for my finals...oh well.



Anyways, I found out tonight that my dad heard a rumor I was pregnant, so he had Loralie call mom and ask if it was true....yeah. It's nice to know that people like to go around telling everyone that I'm pregnant. Just so everyone knows, when I do decide to have a baby, I wouldn't tell anyone until it was painfully obvious anyway because people have big mouths, and it's really none of their business anyway.

AND FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME (TO EVERYONE INCLUDING WAL-MART ASSOCIATES THAT SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT ANY TIME SOMEONE HAS TO PEE OR THEIR STOMACH HURTS OR THEY WEAR MAKE-UP THAT THEY HAVE A BUN IN THE OVEN), I AM NOT PREGNANT NOR DO I PLAN ON BEING IN THAT STATE FOR QUITE SOME TIME...it is controllable, ya know.

More on the pregnancy rant later. I need to go back to studying...or playing W.O.W. *giggle*
