10:07 pm	My ears have holes in them. Laura did it last night. It was quite the ordeal, I don't think I'll be getting pierced again anytime soon. On my right ear the needle didn't go through the first time so it had to be pierced twice. Then we were going to put in these kidney wires that wouldn't go in, that wasn't fun. I have gold posts in now. I've cleaned them several times today and before bed last night. Sleeping was fine, which I am thankful for. I sleep on my side, so it could have been an issue. They are kind of gooey when I clean them. Ick. Jaden called me at around noon and asked me out to lunch. We went to a Thai place in Northgate that really sucked. Then I went to Ashmead and got my national exam review book today and am going to start studying everyday. I sorta got off track on my quitting smoking. I think I'm just going to have to stop after this pack, fuck tapering. Being home alone is really boring. Current Mood: bored (11 Comments |Comment on this)

11:22 pm	I graduated today. Graduation was really nice. I'm so proud of myself, I finished collage. I made a pretty good haul on graduation gifts too. Kelcey got me a Jane Austen action figure from Archie McPhee, Laura is going to get me a hindi movie and pierce my ears, my Mom and Steve gave me $1000, and Dad gave me ( wait for it ) Okay, what's next? National Exam and getting a job. I just checked out Craigslist, and there are plenty of places hiring. Ashmead helps graduates get jobs, and has a very good placement rating. I'm home alone for the next week. I have nothing to do but study for nationals and...study for nationals. Maybe I'll clean my room, or something. Current Mood: LJ-ing Current Music: L&O SVU (6 Comments |Comment on this)

12:11 am	I totally done with school. No more school ever! Yeah. I did really well on everything, I got an A with 99% in Anatomy and Physiology, a B in Massage Theory and Practice, a C in Clinic, and a B in Kinisiology. With all of that worrying and not really doing all that well on most of the tests I still pulled a B in Kinesiology. I'm so happy. I've filled out my license application and made an appointment to take the national board exam on the 30th. I quit smoking today. No more school stress, no more excuse to smoke. It's gross, it gives me a headache now, has for weeks, it's killing me, it's expensive, all good reasons to quit. Most of all I really want to now. I also really want a cigarette right now. ETA: I'm going to change that to quitting smoking. I've decided to taper off instead of going cold turkey. Mmmm turkey. Current Mood: hungry (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:09 pm	I have had four finals and only have one left. I got a C in my Kinesiology final, a C in the Massage written, and an A in the Massage practical. I don't know about Anatomy and Physiology yet. I only have the Kinesiology final and my pathology presentation and I'm totally done! The kinesiology final should be alright, I'll get a C in the class, but that's okay with me. I have the whole weekend to do my pathology presentation. I love that when I spell check the word kinesiology, the first suggestion is gynecology. Current Mood: chipper (Comment on this)

10:04 pm	Undeniable proof that I will do anything to avoid studying: I am watching 'The Flavor of Love 2' on VH1. I really should get back to it. Current Mood: procrastinating (Comment on this)

9:41 pm	Where the fuck are all of the non-shallow guys? I was just looking at the personals and every single one of them says 'you be fit and thin and athletic'. What happened to liking someone for who they are and not being an asshole who wants to fuck a giraffe? I guess I'm not going to be dating anyone until I weigh 98lbs.

8:52 pm	A miracle has happened. I passed a kinesiology test. 40/50, hell fucking yeah. So I got five questions wrong. So what. I passed this test and am feeling much better about things. I got another great score on my Anatomy quiz, 26/25(yay bonus questions). I found out what I am getting so far in Anatomy. I am getting 92/90, 100%, an A! Yay me. Unless I get every question wrong in the final I am going to pass the class. I am shockingly calm about the rest of school. It's like I've decided that panicking won't do any good so I am not going to panic. It wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened. It's odd. My classmate Sheena is having some issues with her student loan and was really upset in class today. The stupid school totally fucked her and some bitch in financial aid told her that she might not be able to graduate. Which is total crap, because it's their screw up. I would never recommend Ashmead to anyone, ever. I notice I am on a new person's friend list. Hello dandelion_diva, how do I know you? Current Mood: oddly calm (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:55 pm	I'm feeling less stupid now. I did really well on my kinesiology homework and thanks to averaging I'm doing okay in kinesiology. I am doing really well in my other classes too. I'm on track with all of my SOAPs, I am almost done with my narrative report massages, and have the CPR class done. Yay me! Current Mood: making progress (Comment on this)

1:20 pm	I'll do a real entry later. Now, quiz results. You scored as Earth-Child. You're a very peaceful person who has very strong beliefs. Others see you as spiritual, and you really are. You see magic as a resource to be used wisely. The earth really is your mother, and you'll remain close to her as long as you live. </td> One Intelectual Individual 75% Earth-Child 75% New Age Hippie 50% Not a Hippie 38% Original Hippie 25% Pothead 13% What type of hippie are you? created with QuizFarm.com (Comment on this)

8:26 pm	I think I did pretty good on my midterm for Massage Practice. I got an A on my Comp. I skipped Clinic again and can't miss another one. I think that the pressure of not being able to miss another one will make me more pumped about getting up at 6:30am. It means I'm going to get another C in clinic though. Oh well.

11:10 pm	I failed my Kinesiology test. Just barely failed though, by only one question. It'll be okay. I don't care if I get a D in that class as long as I pass. That's pretty much my attitude for the rest of school and the national exam. I don't care about doing well, I just want to graduate and pass and get licensed. I know that sounds kind of lazy, but whatever. It's been over two weeks since I have heard from Nick, that guy from Match.com. The first week he was out of town, but I don't think I'm ever going to hear from him. He could have least had the balls to e-mail me and say he wasn't interested instead of leaving me hanging like this. I have a fucking headache. Good Night. Current Mood: headache (3 Comments |Comment on this)

8:43 pm	I have been having trouble with my computer lately and I finally called Dell today. The verdict is in, my hard drive has gone bad. Bad hard drive, no biscuit! So they are sending me a new one. They expect me to install it. Like I can do that by myself, I'm so sure. My dad is going to help me figure it all out. We are going to get someone to come and do it for me. I'm going to be 23 on Wednesday. I can't believe I'm this old. Life goes by so fast. Current Mood: contemplative (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:45 pm	Help! The Le Rouche people are stalking me again. I went to one of their meetings in 2003 and I wasn't interested. This was before I found out that they are a cult. I was definitely not interested after I found that out. Anyway, I hasn't heard from them in like three years and all of the sudden they are calling me again. AHHH! (Comment on this)

9:36 pm	I've had two days of fourth term so far. Tuesday was pretty normal, Kinesiology and Anatomy & Physiology. Except there are a few new rules at school now. The worst one being, no eating in class. I was told this one as I was eating in class and break was ending. The teacher was all 'I forgot, you can only eat in the break room now'. I smiled at him and said 'then that's where I'll be' I then walked out of class and finished my lunch. Today was sort of boring. It was the first of our four Business classes. We focused on marketing, I find marketing very intimidating, due to the fact that I don't like talking to people I don't know. Pam, our teacher, says all she thinks I need is more Student Clinic. Luckily that is what I have this term. One of the headlights on my car is out, and in the process of fixing it and what I thought was one break light, I discovered that all of the lights in the back of my car are out/broken. Now, I have to clean out my car and take it to the mechanic. This wouldn't be so bad except that my car trunk is still full of my Mom's crap. It was her car originally, and she never cleaned out the trunk before giving it to me. Grrr. Check out my icon, I finally figured out how to make one that was a picture of me.

1:18 am	This is just me making a point to post on this date to counter the boycott that is being put on by some of the breastfeeding icon people. Just don't have it as your default people. It's not that hard to change your icon before posting. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

I so thought I was going to get a D in Massage Theory and Practice. How the fuck I pulled off a C I do not know. Current Mood: accomplished (5 Comments |Comment on this)

7:34 pm	We've had my brother, his wife Kami, their son Liam, their dog Bailey, Kami's Brother Greg, His wife Andrea, their two kids Riley and Nora, Kami's other brother Alex, and her sister Bethany over for the last week. Liam is three months, Nora is seven months and Riley turned two in April. It's been hectic. The babies are good, they hardly cry at all. Riley is kind of whiny. The Nora and Liam look like they could be siblings rather then cousins. I like having a nephew. It's fun. Oh, they left him intact! I've talked to David about circumcision before and he was all for it, but I guess Kami changed his mind. Kami and David work at a Christian camp on Whidbey Island over the summer so I will get to see lots of Liam. I went to work at Mom's office again, I worked for three and a half hours. It will be the last time I can work for her until school ends. My day off is monday now and her office is closed on mondays. I won't be able to work off anymore of my debt to her. The funny thing is that I'll be needing more money before school ends and I'll be able to get a job. I've been trying to conserve and save, but I'm not very good at it. At the very least I need money for my monthly credit card payment and for gas to get around. Ideally I'd also have enough to buy cigarettes, but if I absolutely can't afford it anymore I'll have to quit. That would suck. I'm going to try and go a week without buying anything that's not gas. Then two weeks, then three, as long as possible. I still have not gotten my grades yet. I'm getting a little worried. Then again, they said that they would call if you failed, but I talked to a girl who failed a class and said that they didn't call her. I am probably worried for nothing. I talked to all of my teachers before school ended and I got all of my grades already. In other news, I'm fucking sick of being single. I want to date someone. I want to have sex. In the future I'd like to get married. I need to start working on being more social. How the fuck am I supposed to meet people? How do all of you meet new people?

7:49 pm	Why do fanfiction authors feel the need to put anti-choice rhetoric in their stories? So she didn't choose abortion, so what. She doesn't need to go on and on about how it's not the 'babys' fault that she's a stupid slut. “I don’t think that I could have terminated the pregnancy at the beginning, and I know I can’t do it now. It just wouldn’t be right, would it?” Without waiting for _____________’s reply, she continued on with her thoughts. “I mean, it would essentially mean ending my child’s life, right? And what has my baby done to deserve that? It’s not the baby’s fault we were so stupid. It would make life easier not to have a baby, but I just don’t think I have it in me to consider ending my child’s life for my own convenience,” 90% of this paragraph is not needed. It's preachy, and stupid. It takes away from the story and is out of charicter for this person to say. Current Mood: fucking pissed off (3 Comments |Comment on this)
