10:51 am	Summer ot'8 [mood| giddy] So far the summer has been pretty grood. Got As in both my summer classes. Ryan and I got engaged, which most people know by now. Feel bad putting those right next to each other, since one is higher on the "big deal o'meter" than the other, but oh wells. Still need to go on some sort of mini group trip for our last summer vacation, still have nearly half the break left and can't let it go to waste. Blah finding a part-time non retail job is not going great. I thought my fall schedule would be good for part-time work, but finding some place that's cool with you working Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays is harder than I thought it would be. Miss my old internship because their deal was come in whenever you want, but I know I can't expect that from other places. Sans job hunt, the first half of this summer has been very nice.

9:08 pm	Because I'm a grubby 5 year old (or lindsay) Long time without a post. Almost done with summer classes. Tech writing is the easiest thing ever. I seriously feel like I'm back in 8th grade. We did a two page techincal definition, a two page comparison paper, and the only thing left if the group research paper on CSS, and a html website with 3 pages. O and she's letting people use templates to make their site. And we only meet once a week, and not at all last week. My other class, gender and inequality in america is pretty interesting, even though I heard allot of the info before from other classes. Agravating as hell sitting in front of this meat head who thinks designer genetic babies exist, and that you can pick out the hair color, height, muscular build, and speed of your children, all for a one time price of $16,000. Pretty aggratavating that he's in that class and goes on to his friend about how he only wants boys because boys play real sports, and that's partially why he wants his designer baby. You can pick the sex of children, but it ends there, and invetro costs 40 grand at least, and I'm sure a ton more if your going to be cherry picking Y sperm. Classes drawing to a close means I need to look for a part-time job for the rest of summer and fall, and then a real job come January. A little nervous but wanting to move out is good motivation for job hunting. Living in a house where Fox News is regarding as real news grains on you after awhile. Think I possibly have pink eye, have all the symptoms, but my mom is sure that I have a cat hair stuck in my eye and that's it's an allergen. Even though I'm not allergeric to cats. She's mostly only saying that due to her strong dislike of cats, and negative thoughts on "cat people" as being dirty an odd. Whateva', come january there will definitely be allot less of that to listen to. EDIT I realized I had this eye thing before, it's in the pink eye family but it's not THEE pink eye, it's when you have a cold and it gets in your eye somehow. Yes, exciting stuff.

7:36 pm	Because I don't want to write my paper [mood| blank] Boring weekend, writing my paper that I don't want to write. I did manage to incorporate the nintendo power glove into it though. So instead of spending time writing my paper for a class, I'm going to spend my time writing a post about future classes. Probable fall (AND FINAL) schedule: MUSC 180 Beginning Piano Class 1 credit [4975] 0201 M.........10:00am-10:50am (FA 014) BEITH, N ENGL 495 Internship 2 credits [2990] 0401 M.........12:00pm-1:00pm (FA 447C) SHIVNAN, P GWST 300 Methodologies of Gender and Women's Studies 3 credits [3359] 0101 MW.........2:30pm- 3:45pm (SOND207) MCCANN, C GWST 480 Theories of Feminism 3 credits [3382] 0101 MW.........5:30pm- 6:45pm (TBA) MCCANN, C ENGL 394 Technical Editing 3 credits [2975] 0101 Th.........7:10pm- 9:40pm (ENGR122) HARRIS, L Don't really know if I'm going to take Technical Editing though, don't really need it but I feel like I should. It's at such a crappy time too, even though it would be my only class of the day, rar. Otherwise fall should be nice, only have to take 12 credits with at least 2 weekdays off. Ugh back to paper writing....

1:37 am	Laid off at the old Mill [mood| stressed] So yeah as of last wednesday I am no longer employed. Apparently the company wasn't getting enough work to support the internship program and we all got "the boot." Luckily I should have my 120 hours to get school credit for it, but it was paying, and not getting paid is ew. I doubt I'll get into another internship before the summer, just because almost everything I've found is "Summer Interns", but maybe not. School is boring and it needs to be over, and I'm jealous of Lindsay and Sara being in Amsterdam now.

1:46 am	Flat Tire # 3 [mood| cranky] [music| The Clash:Hateful ] Possibly the most inconvenient of all the flat tires to date, including the one that sent me walking down route 40. Hit a curb getting gas this afternoon, tried to drive home this night only to notice a loud rumbling coming from the curb infected tire. Yep flat tire, and snow quickly falling. Ryan came and brought me some fix a flat which was a huge help, but the ride home was unpleasant to say the least. Having a gimp tire and not being able to see the road lines is a bad mix, but at least my warranty still covers tires WOO HOO, but it will be a pain in the ass getting them in the next day or so. And now I smell like fix a flat chemicals, and am giving myself a headache.

11:40 am	First Classes As much as I enjoy it when the professor hands out the syllabus and then goes, "get the fuck out." It sucks when it's your first class and you have nothing to do for an hour and a half, and you drove all the way to school an hour and a half early. To be fair, the real teacher was sick, and had someone else hand out the syllabus, and she said "Once you get this you're free to leave."

8:08 pm	Good ol' Route 40 [mood| full] [music| American Idol/Wife Swap ] Winter classes are boring, glad they're almost over, going to try and get all my science 100 stuff done this weekend. My group needs to start working on our project, so far a whopping 2 of us have posted ideas, and the project is due next week. Accidently locked my keys in my car last week, that was embarrassing, had to watch a bumbling cop poking at my car for 40 mins. Work is pretty easy but the commute sucks, not fun driving 40 all the way into Baltimore during rush hour. At least route 40 is pretty scenic. Got a thumbs up today from supervisor, so hopefully they'll keep me around when I start taking classes full time again despite the big drop in my hours. Spring is going to be a little blah, since allot of people are going to be out of state or country, but this summer should be grood since it's going to be most of our last summer breaks, (except you grad school peoples grr). Got allot of farewell "box socials" to go to this weekend, so it'll be a nice send off.

2:29 am	Mmmmm [mood| bored] [music| Karmella's Game: Coming, Going, Leaving ] Oh yeah, Saturday night when I've been done finals since Tuesday, and everyone is either studying like crazy or working. Time for some pointless online tests! You Are a Glazed Donut Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that. You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness. Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone digs you. And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten. What Donut Are You? Jeez, I make a fucking lame doughnut. You Are Most Like Bill Clinton No doubt, your legacy may be a little seedier than you'd like. But even though you've done some questionable things, you're still loved by almost all. What Modern US President Are You Most Like? I think the saxophone question was a big factor. I like that whoever made this test didn't bother getting a real picture of Bill Clinton, and settled for a color penciled picture. You Are a Centaur In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person. However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways. You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order. You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily. What Mythological Creature Are You? Always bothers me for some reason when tests match my sign. Good to know when I become a mythical creature I already have the mindset for the job. On a less mythical note, starting winter classes/internship January 2nd. Going to internship at a publishing company in Baltimore called, Monotype, they publish K-12 textbooks. Not super interesting, but better than financial newsletters. Get to pick my own hours (it's a 9-5 kinda place so a little limited but still good). Probably going to do 9am-3pm three times a week, so I don't have to hit rush hour leaving work. The building is super old, it was a warehouse in the 1700's, and I have been assured that if it ever catches fire, it'll go up like a match so that's good. Going to suck being on the 9-5 schedule for January (classes are from 9am-4pm), but I suppose it's the inevitable. At least I'll be making money, so it'll make getting up a little easier.

1:19 am	Shemale? mood| confused] [music| Free Love Hotline commercial ] The latest boost mobile commercial really bothers me because I can't tell if the white person at the end is a man or a woman. Ryan says man, I say woman... although after a closer look I am allot less sure of my answer. They kind of have a soccer mom look to them with the hair and a hint of a bust line, but I don't know. It says "THAT DUDE" behind them, but none the less whatever that is, they're really out of place in the commercial. BWUGH??? Link to the commercial on youtube The crappy you tube quality doesn't help much, but I really want to find out for some reason.

1:29 pm	UMBC computers I love that when I go into a computer lab at umbc I have to try at least 5 computers before one will log me in, and once I find that computer, it can't log into myUMBC due to "many connection errors." Thank god this is a computer heavy school. Can't wait for this novocain to wear off, trying to avoid talking to people while my tongue feels twice the size it should be. Only 7 more days until break woooooooo.

12:31 am	Milestone [mood| working] [music|Against Me!: Tonight We're Going to Give it 35% ] Well it has happened. I have gotten my first cavity. Apparently I have a few of them but they were so super small they could only be seen by the x-ray and this weird laser thing. At least I won't need fillings for them, since they're so small that sealings will fix it. I was trying to hit 40 without having one, but 19 isn't bad I suppose. Decided to go for it and graduate early, so next December around the 20th it shall be crazy. I'll be turning 21 and graduating like two days latter, so obviously a box social must ensue. But that's not for another year, so that doesn't really need to be focused on at the moment. Oh yeah Lindsay and I decided to relive the glory of our volleyball years by joining a rec league this summer. Hopefully we can find an all women one that isn't for people 55 and up. Because old people are fragile, and having to remain in a squat position in spandex shorts like 4 feet away from some weird guy who plays volleyball would take all the fun out of it. Lastly, I'm glad to know I can learn while I rap now.. http://www.hiphopharry.com/ Make sure you watch the video. An ad came on for that a few days ago, and I was blown away by the creative genius that is Hip Hop Harry.

1:00 am	School Stuff [mood| exanimate] [music| Unedited Coming to America on Comedy Central] Almost time to head back to school, this time commuting blah. Hopefully it won't be too bad since my earliest class is at noon, and I only have that class twice a month. Only thing that might make it bad is if I decide to do some office work on campus to make some extra money, because I would probably have to come in early to get any hours in since my classes run late, but I haven't decided on that yet. Keep tossing around the idea to graduate a semester early, which wouldn't be very hard if I took a couple classes in the winter, and a few next summer. Money wise it would pretty much be the same as graduating on time. One of the main things that stops me from graduating early is that I'll be kicked off my parents health insurance roughly 5-6 months earlier. Ideally I would get a job that had benefits shortly after I graduated, but I'm not sure what my odds are of finding a decent one that quickly. Even though I could almost certainly rough out the uninsured time, my mom has made it pretty clear she doesn't want me graduated early because of the whole insurance thing, and she already regrets putting me in school when I was 4 instead of 5 because of the "you're growing up faster than you should", and would rather have me living at home an extra couple of years. So basically I guess it comes down to whether I want to get school over with 6 months early (and graduate around the same time I would turn 21), but have practically no spending money during that time since working would be super hard, or have 6 months where I know I'm going to be insured and not have my mom complaining and hounding me about it while I'm still living with her. But , whatever, I still have a few more months before I really need to decide. Hopefully the last weak and a half of summer will be as good as the rest of it was.

5:29 pm	Two Beds, Two Desks, This Place is Pretty Nice For a Single Sort of moved into my 6 week room at Chesapeake for my tutoring in the Upward Bound Math and Science program. It's going to be weird looking at that other unused bed, with the mattress stuffing busting out of it, but at least I probably won't be in the room toooo often. The job seems slightly less intimidating than before. One cool thing is, if the chemistry teacher, Dr. Brothers (I find that name funny for some reason), doesn't want my help during the class I don't have to do anything for those two hours. And luckily, black Danielle, who worked there last year, and was in the program in high school, will be with me during all of the SAT/Carear Course classes, so hopefully I won't make a total ass of myself in front of the kids I'm supposed to propel upwards. I also gave in to people at the program and I'm going to Toby's with them tomorrow morning to see Little Shop of Horrors, and that two toilet stall with the curtain separator in the women's bathroom. mood| hopeful] [music| Citizen Fish: Working on the Inside ]

3:21 pm	RAWR Goddamnit, my computer has died again. Only this time it wasn't caused by an alcoholic drink. The damn security update wouldn't let my computer boot again, only this time nothing I've tried has let it startup. So as much as I hate to do this, I'm going to have to take a punch and bring my unwarranted, no apple care computer to the Apple store. Hopefully I can bully them into giving me a decent price (like free), since it was THIER update that caused it, especially since it's happening to other iBook G4s. Mainly I worry that I fucked up the hard drive while trying to reinstall, which also failed. So bah. This has put an early damper on my summer. ******************************EDIT********************************** HURZAH, for some reason after failing to reinstall OS X my computer decided it was going to work again...., even though the hard drive failed during the installation. But whatever, I'm happy.

10:12 pm	Schedule Maybe? As of now this is my schedule for next fall: Engl 495: Bartleby Internship Thing: First/Third Monday of the Month 12:00-12:50 Engl 291: Intro to Creative Essays: Monday Wednesday 1:00pm-2:15pm Engl 448: Senior Seminar: Walt Whitman Our Contemporary? Monday Wednesday 2:30pm-3:45pm GWST 320: Women Directors Monday 4:30pm-7:00pm Wednesday 4:30pm-5:45pm (Discussion = never go to that) BIOL 109: Science of Life (or something like that? Basically it's for non majors but it's not the water one) Friday 2:00pm-3:15pm Tuesday 1:00pm-3:50pm (Lab) Engl 387: Web Content Development Tuesday and Thursday 5:30-6:45 Schedule isn't exactly how I wanted it. Mainly I wanted to take Smith's Jane Austin class during the lab, but there's still allot of time for people to drop it, and Professor Smith likes me enough that she would let me in the class if she could, AND I can tell people in that class to harass her to let me in! That would also give me no Friday classes again. Even if I can't get in though it won't be too bad because I only have the lab on fridays and I would finally be done with my GFRs, but that the last case scenario if I can't weasel my way into the Jane Austin class. Oh yeahs, also taking Tennis first half of the summer Monday/Wednesday 6-8:05 and Aerobic Conditioning second half Tuesday/Thursday 6-8:05 along with tutoring high school kids in June and July.
