I am bored out of my mind even though we went somewhere yesterday. We went to a pumpkin patch that was pretty out of the way. It was closer to Rampart. So, it wasn't very...good? Really lack luster. Compared to the farm closer to home and the one close to work, this one wasn't good. The farm store didn't have any fruit or vegetables to buy but there was open fields where you could grab your own pumpkin, mint, and flowers. Nothing I wanted though. Went to Spirit Halloween, got pet food, Target, then went to go eat. My mini brands came in and managed to get a few more Home brand versions.

There's a glass cabinet that I want to get for my room soon so I can start moving some of my collection upstairs. But I don't want to until we can move the dresser and make enough space for it. I could put it near my bathroom but idk if it'll get in the way of the electrical socket.

I'm really having my doubts if I'll ever find a Cid UFO lolololol I keep missing opportunities then it takes forever for another to pop up. It's probably not meant to be lol

I'm off tomorrow but seriously I feel like I'll end up wasting the day just like today. Saturday was fine I guess. Also, I told myself that I wanted to make sure that we do something for each weekend or enough throughout the month of Dec to make up for not doing anything last year. It's not fun for the holidays just staying home. I'd like to look and get tickets for events ahead of time so that we aren't scrambling like last year. Other than that, nothing is going on at the moment. Just hanging around and very shocked I slept in late today. That's not common of me but being woken up throughout the night and being awoken early by my cat did not help.

I am failing my science class. I am fully aware this doesn't affect anything but my GPA...basically I can retake the class and not have to pay any money back, but I'm frustrated because I only picked this class because it was available on campus right after work and a lab was involved. The teacher is nice but I cannot keep up with her teaching methods on top of this class is mainly for people who plan on taking Chemistry or pursuing a degree in Science. Not what I'm doing, all I'm getting is a communications degree. So, I wrap around being frustrated again. I don't want to sit in class for 2 hours for a lecture she's zooming through and I don't want to sit another 2 hours in a lab that I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. I thought I could salvage my grade but I've missed enough time that it won't make a difference trying to make it up. Plus, the exams are the largest part of your grade and I've failed all of them so far. So now, I have to wait until Fall to retake a different science class. Really frustrated overall. I didn't even go to lab tonight. I went to get french fries (of all fucking things, of course) got gas, then got some tea. Now i'm sitting in my driveway because I don't want to walk in the house just yet just to be asked "Why aRe yOu HomE so EarLY??" so I'll sit out here.

I never got my II collection of Gundam Seed. The seller never shipped my item?? No clue why it took so long, there's no excuse for it not to be sent out by the 3rd day. Mercari refunded me only because the seller never responded. I should've known it was a red flag because the listing had a blurry photo. Almost like the guy threw the dvd set and took a quick photo of it flying. I could barely make it out but still bought it anyway. Lesson learned. In the meantime waiting for this asshole to ship, another collection edition went on ebay and gone in a couple days that cost way less. ughh

I did manage to get a copy of Ace Attorney Investigations without paying half a leg for it. It sucks the DS store shut down because now most people are trying to sell certain DS games at astronomical prices. Wtf....Hopefully the copy I bought wasn't from a scammer. Otherwise, the "cheapest" copies run around $60-70 which is ridiculous. My Edgeworth Sanei plush came in! And usps said the FF7 collection with Tifa and Barret made it but I don't have my mail key. I know I could just go inside and grab it but I'm still gonna wait it out. I am pathetic lmaoo

Mad about the weekend flying by. I swear!!! I remember putting my shoes away and going to lie in my bed for a few minutes and next thing I know, I'm looking up at the clock while writing my paper on Sunday pissed off I wasted the weekend. We didn't go anywhere, just stayed inside. Wasted a perfectly good day because the weather has been looking much nicer and I want to go to a nice park, Denver, something!! Also just plain pissy about people driving in trucks who are absolute psychopaths. It seems every asshole drives a truck and deliberately tailgates, speeds like hell, or whips in and out of the lanes, with a complimenting flag or two of that old assshole trump they all worship. It looks stupid, it looks like a cult and tacky as hell having two giant ugly flags hanging off of the back of the truck. GDI

I think I've hit my time where I can go in the house now lmao. I still don't want to. I don't even want to go to work tomorrow. I just wanna sleeeeep! For some positivity for myself, since acquiring Edgeworth sanei, I'm on the lookout for Phoenix as he is the last one to complete my collection and I am right back at square one being frustrated finding him lol. I mean, when I was searching for Maya, it took a year until I had somebody willing to sell her to me but this was using a website that had people in Japan find items for you, like a personal proxy. I miss living in Japan because it was easier for me to look for stuff online and in person. I'll eventually get him, but now i'm going inside to go to bed lol

I am so over school. It’ll be a short entry because I’m trying not to have any work by tomorrow but we all know by now that it won’t happen. Finished American Lit and Cyberlaw at the same time last week and I felt half the world roll off my shoulders. I almost didn’t turn my final paper in until I posted a FB post complaning and Armanda asked me some questions that got me kicked into high gear. I turned in a relatively short paper about security in with only a few hours to spare as well as an outline that hadn’t been started and I had the entire 8 weeks to do so lol. My dumbass professor gave me a zero because I still hadn’t turned it in yet but it wasn’t late! He specifically had in the classroom that it could be turned in by midnight that day! I messaged him telling him that then also asked when was he going to finish grading our assignments because he kept skipping grading in-between assignments (who does that?! That takes forever!) I have a pretty poor impression of him already….but in the end, a half assed final assignment got me a C BUT my half-assed paper and outline both got A’s!! I got an A- in the class overall! Surprising because I was almost positive that I would get a B-/C+ just because out of all my assignments I only got a 100 on two of them and one of them shouldn’t really count because it was an introduction post. Gwaad I hate school and it really sucks doing it online. Now I’m trucking halfway through my Information Assurance class already and once again I have another 10-15 page paper WTF. I’m just gonna take some sites from work and copy them. And they don’t show up on a regular search because all those sites are protected. I have reached my I don’t give a crap anymore mode. Once this is done (it even goes through my birthday sad face) I won’t be doing any more school until I get done with this promotion studying. A lot of things depend on it.

The West Texas Fair starts this week! Well….technically it’ll be near the end of the week. I’ll only be able to enjoy one day of it because I’ll be in Dallas during that weekend and then Hawaii the entire time it goes on. Haha, I’m looking forward to it because it’s closer. Then Saturday I head to Dallas and head out to the islands on Sunday. It’s coming so much closer it’s ridiculous! In a good way 🙂

Felt like editing this entry because of an article I found at work and felt like writing about it. But it was about fast food workers going on strike because they want the minimum wage to go up. I kind of agree since it’s almost impossible to get enough hours working full-time. For the people who are trying hard that isn’t enough money to live off on. But I was mainly wanting to write about it because the article interviewed one 20 year old in NY who had her child and baby-daddy living with her who was UNEMPLOYED. She lived off of public assistance or whatever it’s called but that fact that her boyfriend is living there (let me write in caps again) UNEMPLOYED. It’d be one thing if he was trying but shit if she can get a job at McDonald’s, then why can’t he?????????? If ANYTHING, he should be the one working at McDonald’s and not her. I know there’s not enough information in the article to know what’s going on but honestly….do we need to? We all know he isn’t doing anything and she’s letting him live off of her.

Well, last night I went to bed pretty late and like always my son woke me up three different times. I didn’t even bother to get up to work out. I’ll do it tomorrow. I got my test and my outline done. Now I have to do a little research for references, my post and weekly assignment. Geez it’s already September! And I’m glad this week will kind of be short since we have tomorrow off!

Arghhh!

I’m not doing another financial aid form all because this school wants to be an asshole. Why the fuck am I filling out two of these things? I only need ONE for ONE school year until they figure out whether or not to give us back TA. . Because "As the selected academic year falls in both the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 FAFSA award years, both FAFSAs are required to complete the financial aid application process." What the fucking…..I’ve never had to do that in the past…..This is entirely bullshit. I’ve never had to fill out two different FAFSA forms before…..ever. And I’m more than well aware it’s because of the school I’m going to. I’m so frustrated because of all of this. There was a much better process I had and now it’s gone. Holy shit…..It all becomes worse because I don’t know how to fill those things out. It was easier this year because the IRS keeps it on file from the current year and all you have to do is link it to your fafsa, but that’s it 🙁 it doesn’t keep the previous years, so I really don’t know if I’m filling the parts out correctly.



Ugh, but there’s always good news. I have my hotel and flight booked for Oahu and like any other trip I’ve taken, leading up to it has been tv shows or advertisements…something that brings up where I’m about to go (and I usually youtube it lol) I’m so excited but my mind has to be somewhere else for the next 6 months, otherwise I’ll get sick of it lol.

I really wish I had time during the day to do my homework like I was able to this year. Honestly, I don’t know how I would have knocked out Eng 200 or Biology if I wasn’t allowed the time I was given when I worked over at contracting. I was able to use almost the entire workday to get stuff done. Well, not so much anymore now that I moved back over to the group. Now I can’t even look at anything not work related without getting some type of dirty look. I don’t even think I’m allowed to do this shit during lunch, should I choose not to go home, which is really stupid. I had high hopes about passing this class. I mean, I’m really trying not to be pessimistic about it, but it’s dragging me down the past couple of weeks. I’ve been struggling with this week’s assignment. The due date is today but accompanied with this, I have a screaming child, a husband who can’t do much physically because of his chest pains….. I’m seriously loosing my mind. There’s no where else for me to go to finish studying and there’s no one I can turn to in regards to getting any additional help. I’ve been using the tutoring website, but I don’t want to constatnly keep signing in and out for every single question. I’m going nuts. I can’t believe no matter the math class ALL OF THEM ARE A MINIMUM OF 16 WEEKS. The end of this month, I would have BEEN DONE if it was just a regular 6 week class.
