2 morals were learned today:
sound cards go in the 3rd slot not the 2nd
don't unplug sound cards when computer is on

installing a new sound card

first no sound
then switching some position then teh mouse doenst' work but the keyboard works

i got 2 hair cuts in the shower a few minutes ago. not where my hair was cut but where i got a cut like a paper cut but from my hair. they hurt.

somethings are boring after a long time. i'm tired now. dave wants to borrow a usb floppy drive but i don't know anyone with one. he needs it to fix my computer. floppy drives won't work to be plugged in like a normal desktop.
things and people change and sometimes i just can't take it.

friday night at the poly = game cube

i should really get my one key fixed. it makes things difficult.

i keep working on this but really it sucks. any suggestions as to making it cool would be appreciated.

thermal is quite a boring class. We are learnign about EES right now. I wonder if it's important or not.

sigh

so much for bein in bed by 1 tonight. went for dinner at stackwyck at 8 and returned only minutes ago.
stupid 10 am tomorrow.

ok i got an e-mail from my litec partner and she decided not to drop. how frustrating and stressful.

still too hot so i turned off the heater

then i took off my long sleeve shirt leaving only my white shirt. well now i'm too cold.

it's too hot by the heater so i covered it back up

argh

one class today so you would think it would be a good day. i ate half of a half of a bagel for lunch (breakfast). it was hard. i ate the rest of it after class though. so i guess at least i had something. it's too cold outside. it's also too windy. i dont want to go to stackwyck for dinner because i dont want to have to wait for the shuttle on the way back down. i dont know what we would cook anyway. my partner for litec dropped the class. so now it's even tougher for me to find someone. i think there are an odd number of kids in our class unless some people didnt' show up. today most of what we went over i didn't know. we did a practice quiz for our real quiz next class. well on this practice is where we started going over new stuff. i think it will be easy but who knows. i got back from class after walking in the freezing cold. then i shocked dave. then i went to fix the hub since it was falling off the computer tower and got shocked. then the network cable was unplugged so i went to fix that and got shocked on my hand that it still burned minutes later. i've been sittin on my bed eversince. i got back from class around 4:15.
to top it off i'm hungry.

my room is cold so i uncovered a few inches of the heater and turned it on

o how i love my classes

my litec partner is going to drop it. so i need to find a new partner but everyone already has partners. or maybe some kid that nobody will work with doenst have a partner. but there is usually a reason nobody with work with him/her.

-7 is too cold so a windchill of -23 is also too cold
dave decided he didn't need to take any books or pencils or anything to his class today

my guess is that dave's scarf is about 1/8 of the way done

it's sooo cold. it's icy. missing 2 shuttles isn't fun. waiting in the cold makes me run in place.
dynamics is horrible and boring.
i wish i had a car.
i fell walking back from the union after the shuttle. the fresh snow covers the ice.

well gravester doenst have to wait 29 more years anymore

i added 6 new albums to my site. maybe i will stop and add more later. if i add too many now people won't look at them all.

new record for my laptop being off. i just turned it on and i turned it off friday night.

and i didn't lie... i just dropped econ

day 2

the second day of classes was rough. had writing to the world wide web at 10am. it's more like a journalism class than a web class it seems. it's nothing like the other classes. her required books are different than other sections. but so far for the class i made this. next was thermal and fluids 1. it was very very very hard to stay awake. the class is being taped for some class next semester. he talks to the camera and doesnt really pay attention to us. he's a horrible professor. i wanted to swith to a different class but they are all closed. we got out a little early so we got to have a lunch today. we wont always get out early though. actually very rarely we will. then we went to dynamics. we weren't as early as we wanted to be. there werent many spots left at all. we did get to sit beside each other. but it's in the way front at a table that faces a different way than the other tables. after we sat down there were only like 4 seats left in the room. we did not get out early for this class. actually he was in the middle of teaching something and just quit because time was up. we have about 4 homework problems assigned each class. they are due 2 classes later. when i got back i picked up my room a little but not enough for it to be clean in any way. tonight was my last dinner at the commons before i change my meal plan where i no longer get dinners included. i had 2 baked potatoes and a little brocoli and then some french fries. i need to come up with meals to cook. i can't think of any good ones. i can't think of any at all.

the weather forecast changed. now the high tomorrow is going to be warmer than they said. it will be 7. now it is 13 but the windchill is -3. i guess maybe i should get out my winter coat sometime.

i have dynamics homework but i didn't get a book yet. we have books ordered but most haven't arrived. i already did my litec homework. i have reading to do for classes too. i think i might actually have to do my thermal reading because the professor is so bad.

i still have to drop econ. i guess i will log on to that now and take care of it.

and now semagic is downlaoded so i can post quickly from my desktop

go me

today

this is definitely a record for my laptop being off. i haven't turned it on since i shut it down friday night before i came to school. there are a few downfalls. i dont have my money file or my weight chart on this computer yet. also i want to add pictures to my website but they are all on my laptop.

well today was the first day of classes and i only had one so far. it was econ. it was originally in nason classroom now it's all they way in lowe 4034. and i'm dropping it. now i'm down to 16 credits. i guess that is better anyway. i might add another class.

today pb's boxes came of the stuff he shipped from home. one 34 lb box and one 32 lb box. he also got his jcpenney order. i went to pick up one while he was buying a thermal book. the lady gave me the heavy one and the jcpenny order. it was really fun trying to open the doors carrying. then i found dave and he carried the last one. but i helped with that one too. my arms are still weak from my heavy bag traveling on saturday. i need some of my muscle back. now the common room is a mess with everythign from the boxes. most of it goes to his place.

i have embedded control at 2 today. i don't know who will be in my class or who will be my partner. i hope to get there early so someone will have to sit with me instead of the other way around. i wish i was smart with this class so that i didn't have to worry about getting a smart partner.

tonight we are going to troy pub for dinner.

i still have to change my meal plan sometime this week.

we just made chocolate covered pretzels. well mostly pb. we made about 42. i counted but forget the exact number.

my foot is numb. i can't take it.

grrr

my mom tried to tell my my room needs to be spotless before i go back to school. everything has to be put away. and she doesnt want my picture frames up. she says they don't need to be up collecting dust when i'm not there to look at them. mike's room isn't spotless. she said she will throw things away that are up.

and to top it off i forgot to weigh myself this morning

i just spent 20 minutes hunting for my yarn that i had at 8pm tonight. i wasn't home from 9-1. i looked everywhere for it.

we're off to pizza palace for lunch. we hope to find it nice and easy

i'm tired.
i wanted to get to walmart to get pics made from digital prints. we have to be there by 9. i dont think it's going to happen :(

so i learned that a get together over break between friends is the evening that i leave to go to school. can't have everything i guess.

and i'm home

we've done like absolutely nothing today and i loved it. we sort of packed and organized and stuff but not really. usually i think i wouldn't have liked today but todya i think back and realize i like it

i hate amazon
i hate amazon

i'm never ordering from them ever again. nobody else should order from them either.

i saw return of the king tonight on the giant screen at the movie theater near king of prussia mall. right before the movie was shopping through the mall. i bought 2 cool shirts at express.

so yesterday i played mario kart double dash from about 8:30pm - 2:30am - the 2 minutes we turned it off to watch the ball drop

o i learned that tons of stuff could be done in photoshop. i want to learn how to do those things. i was watchin screen savers earlier. it was amazing. i want to practice or learn how or something.

and i'm in philly and i'm tired

so i worked today.
john swope told me a secret. he and barb love me so when i'm home on break anytime in the future to give them a call and they would love me back. i'm not supposed to tell anyone since it's against restaruant policy because of my lack of working new year's eve. he told me that they dont want to lose me and that definitely call. i said that i hope for an internship this summer and barb said that i could work there too. how nice of them ....hahahaha

o the pain. an hr and a half later i finsished my 4 small cookies

i took a long nap today. longer than i wanted. i had a bad dream too.

this is what happens when you can't swallow food because you feel like you're swallowing your tongue.

o i dotn konw if i said but friday morning i went in to set up the oak for sunday brunch. last night when barb told someone else to and there was only one small thing to do he was surprised. i guess when other people set it up they dont do a good job. the one small thing he had to do was get rid of this garbage bag of pine branches. i put it in the bag but people were all over the building so i couldn't take it anywhere.

grrrr

chesterfields sucks. i called at 9:05 and chris answered the phone. barb wasn't even in yet. i said i wouldn't call back and they had to call me. he didn't know if i would have to work or not. now i can't even fall back to sleep. i didnt think to ask chris if he got my note that i was there Friday night. grrrr

o yea since i wont be there new years eve i dont get to come back after the 1st and before i go back to school

ooo i forgot to post this:

it still hurts a lot to swallow. today i weighed 124.5 a new low for recent times. today seemed really long i think for the lack of food. i ate a stuffed cabbage today before work. i woke up super early and alloted an hr for me to eat it. i almost ran late and over my alloted time. the last hour or so of work i felt like was going to throw up. like i felt like i was gagging quite often. on teh way home it was bad. when i got home i had a piece of cheese cuz my mom had it out. acutally i think i ate two pieces of muenster. then i had 4 slices of bread with butter. that is all. it took me quite a long time to eat. the pain wasn't as bad as at work or this mornign i dont think. it could have been that i was super hungry. i drank skim milk too.

ahhhh

I started at 11 today. the day started off easy. nice easy party of 24 poeple. mrs divorchak's (sp) daughter had the bridal shower. then we had to set up for a 40 at 4:30. i had 2 tables the whole lunch. then aroudn 4:25, judy realized stuff needed done since the banquet servers weren' tthere yet and the party arrived at 4:30. i had to do that and i got new tables. then i had tables in 2 different rooms. dinner was very very hectic. then a table had to wait liek over an hr for their food and said they were so pissed off they couldn't even eat. which they didnt. their dinner and drinks were free. i think they should have tipped me. i was very busy today. i had late tables so others ended up helping with my side work. i feel bad about that. like really bad cuz i always get mad when i have to do stuff for other people. i still need to be tipped out for the party iw as working this afternoon. i worked almost 12 hours today. i made 101 in tips then i tipped out the bar 5 bucks even tho the two bartenders that got me most of my drinks walked out. also tonight a cook got fired because he was drunk and then got in a fist fight with one manager. he did get one punch in to the face of chris. john mcdonald has come to work drunk before but this time he came in sober and ended up drunk. that is quite frightening. after i punched out today i noticed that chris never punched me out yesterday. what a loser. he said he would. now i have to get that straightened out. that's 5.9 hours they need to add and fix.

as i was telling kevin and vinnie that tonight was my last night cuz they wont let me come back after new years eve, john swope (former manager that returned) asked if he could see me when i had a minute. i went over and he asked when i was leaving for Philadelphia and then when i said Tuesday mornign he asked if i could work tomorrow and monday if he needs me.

now tomorrow i have to call at 9am to see if lisa is better or if i have to work for her. which is totally crazy. they should call me. i dont wake up by 9. then on monday he wants me to come in and help decorate for new years eve. well since new years eve is wed i thought he woudl want me in the evening so i would get to sleep in but no he wants me in there at 9am. he wants me in my normal work attire too so that he could use me if he needs me. nobody is even in the place at 9am. i won't show up until at least 9:15 because i dont want to get there and not be able to punch in.

my feet hurt. i'm so tired. luckily i got 8 hours of sleep last night

ok so i didn't go downstiars to eat. i attempted to eat 4 skittles. i put themall in my mouth and about 12 minutes later i swallowed the last bit of them. boy am i hungyry and i'm gonna be tired tomorrow when i wake up so i won't want to eat.

i have this dilema here. should i try to eat or not? i'm so hungry but the pain is so much when i swallow.

i hate chesterfields

i work at 11 tomorrow for lisa

my grrrr at 10:38 pm last night was because Dave got duplicate presents that i got him and that I hadn't given to him yet. I still haven't given them to him yet.

Christmas pictures are loaded. I wish i had better ones when the family was here. i don't even think everyone is in the pictures.

dave is coming to visit jan 4-10 now

i'm tired. i want to go back to sleep. we started opening presents at 7am. i got a bunch of cool stuff. in the middle of opening, i started to feel sick to my stomach. i still feel that way. i had a glass of orange juice.

i work friday 9am setting up. i dont have to wear my white shirt and black tie.
then i work at 5 as a waitress.
then i work on saturday at 5 as a waitress.
that is all i am scheduled.

as of 2 today i was not scheduled at all.
we will see what happens.

averaged 12.52 an hour tonight. i guess that's the best i've had if they fix my other time sheets when i was making 7 an hour instead of the waitress wage.

i was the busiest i've been in awhile though.

everytime i average how much i make it's before taxes. so it is actually a bunch less.

grrr

reasons i can't say

i worked today. it was the worst day ever. there were no tables for our first 2 hours there. tables didn't tip good. tables complained because it took awhile for the food. i worked from 2-8:30

i made cookies and took pictures of them.

naps

2 hour naps are nice at the time but will ruin u for going to sleep. which then causes u to be messed up again the next day.

AP

visiting the high school was fun. mrs boyd's 7th pd class wouldn't talk. her 6th period class had about 10 kids missing. her 4th period class was small.
we went to kerber's for lunch. the french fries were good and hot. i didn't have ice cream.

so when i'm on overtime after wed they might realize how stupid they were and fix my whole timecard. i bet not though. but there is always the possiblity. then i will be back to not making much again. hehe

stupidity

chesterfields is so stupid. i was not on the schedule today so all the punching in and out was them. they punched me in when i was at home for 2.73 hours today. they also punhced me in as a banquet server tonight when i even specifically said it had to be server. i even got a second manager to fix it.

btw i am supposed to work tomorrow and i'm not and i still work wed of this week. and so far on my time sheet i'm at 39.95 hours.

i want a big long hug from dave and i can't have one.

i did no cookie bakin and i napped. mom says she is wakin me up at 9am to bake tomorrow.

hmmm

just got home from work. have to make cookies since i wasn't replaced as the cookie baker. and then go back to work at 5

totalled 10.5 hours today

then went to denny's for a 3 hour visit.

11-4 i worked brunch. now i'm home. i go back for 5 and work my full shift.

i worked brunch for michelle. she has to finish her christmas shopping. her kids r like 7 and 8 or something . young enough to need to be shopped for on time.

mike's bored and i work all the time. so it seems he is replacing me for cookie baking for christmas.

10.10 hours today woulda been 4 more if i woulda gone in early liek they wanted. grrr on them
i spent lotsa money on good shoes today. but still lotsa pain.

how accurate?

What Famous Leader Are You?

this was from the 27 question test

hmmm

What Famous Leader Are You?

with 9 question test.

What Famous Leader Are You?

with the 18 question test.

y did i leave my naproxen at school?

yup

i ate. i'm tired. i'm wakin up early tomorrow.

i worked the naretto buick christmas party today. i worked it last year. mr nareto remembered me. too bad i can'ta remember how to spell his name.

call at 11:30 from chesterfields
"are u comign in"
"i wasn't on the schedule"
"we thought u knew"

so at 12:20 i got there. and they sent me home around 1:45. grrr on them it was pointless. we were pretty busy but leaving after an hr isn't worth it in my book

i work at 6 tonight
3:30 tomorrow
5 on sunday
off monday
off tuesday
wed 2-8
thursday closed


lets c how closely they follow that schedule for me.

o the pain in my elbow. it hurt when i was turnin over and stuff.

my foot hurt bad when i was first walkin today

i already lost 2 lbs since i've been home.

there's nothin here that i want to eat.

i worked 11.43 hours today. that short cuz i took an hr break even tho they said 20 min.


there's a hole in the ice pack. my plantar fasciitis is back. my foot doesn't look pretty.
i was a server this evening. in a very small section. it was very very very busy and my last table waited over an hour and a half for their food. they gave me a good tip though. maybe it was those free desserts i hooked them up with.

i made 48 bucks in tips after tipping out bartenders and stuff. they kept making me stay later and i had to cash out twice.

kevin asked me out. after my answer then he asked if laurel would go back out with him. vinnie didn't tell me he loved me. laurel must have told him about promise ring cuz he asked about me bing engaged. some other servers had loud expressions after that. i just said it was a promise ring.

i burnt my finger today on a plate.

48 bucks in 7.6 hours would suck if i was making 2.83 an hour like i should have been. but instead i made my banquet server wage on top of that. so $9.14 an hr vs $13.32
but i was there all day so the average of today came out to be $9.20


the last table i had today that had to wait forever told me i should get a new job.

i'm tired. i work in 7.5 hours.

thanks to dave pictures

if rpi had the + - for grades i would go up .15 in average gpa. it is a lot different since it's out of 4.

i bought some more christmas presents today.

reading

last night i tried to go to sleep early after falling asleep on the couch. i gave that up after an hour. at 12:30 i began reading. around 5 i forced myself ot put down the book. i have less than 30 pages left. i want to finish. it became so good. i couldn't put it down. i almost read 200 pages last night. for me that is quite a lot. i had a few breaks during my reading time where i thought i woudl go to sleep and put it down. but that didn't last long.

we need more phones. we r lacking on our main floor. we had to throw two away. now we are down to 4.


also my mom said that from dec 26 on she's busy (this is because she is getting game cube)

i can't get photo galleries to work from home. so this will have to do. it's what was done to my room

argh grrr argh grrr

my mom ruined my room. i'm going to have to spend hours to get it looking how i want it again. pictures will be posted soon as to what she did to it.

hmmm

i wanted to make cookies tonight. we didn't have enough sugar for any recipe. i made a list of things i would need. tomorrow i think will be christmas shoppign and also christmas cookie supplies shopping. then bakign in the evening or the next day.

i dont kwno when to call chesterfields.

dave had a rough trip today. flights delayed and changed and loudness at the airport. 4pm flight didnt leaving until 6 and then 6:20 transfer flight still hasn't left yet.

pizza is so much better around here. troy pizza sucks.

daisy is so cute. she tried to give me kisses though. she is spoiled.

i'm home

62 degrees is too cold for a house to be kept. i put on my hat

still trying to come up with christmas gift ideas.

stuff

i just ate beeferoni at the dining room table with the light on. something that never happens here.

dave's so good. yesterday he loaded the dishwasher and turned it one. today he put everything away. such a good boy.

we're going somewhere soon. i dont know where except the bank.

i called home today when i woke up. we talked for awhile. daisy heard my voice and looked at the phone. i figured out what i might get mike for christmas.

i'm still waiting for grades to be posted.

i'm in philly now. i slept late. i came in last night but nobody set up wireless until really late.

i think i got an 89.5

7 hours until the test

tired

i'm tired of studying. my stomach hurts. i get easily distracted.

whoa i slept too late to be able to handle waking up for 8am final tomorrow. yes i just woke up.

much food to eat before break so that it doesn't go bad.

i'm angry at myself for not studying. i may think it's impossible for me to get my A. but the possibilities are a lot smaller now that i spent today not studying. 8am test is gonna suck. making this crib sheet is hard too. there are a lot of equations.

ok i lied i'm gettin up to do the dishes now. cuz i dont want to be held up in going back cuz they aren't washed.

OreoFuchi: if he's gonna eat, make him wash

that's right

pb's doing the dishes for the yellow cake with chocolate icing that was slaved over earlier.

lots of laughs

dad always keeps me laughing

Big JCJC (2:22:44 PM): time to feed the dog named Daisy see ya later bye

wednesday

I finished my strengths final after two hours. if i would have stayed longer i wouldn't have been able to figure out what i was iffy on anyway.

last night i could not fall asleep. i felt like i was spinning when i was laying in bed. my held was going forward in the counterclockwise direction. it lasted well over 20 minutes. i'm gettin a cold and it sucks. i'm nto sneezing all that much yet.

i was tired before. nto so tired now. i get to make a list of what i need to study for physics then hop to it. o i dont want to take it but o i do. i dont know. i know i won't get an A. i dont know why i try. it's just wasting two of my days.

my dad always asks a million questions. the other day i got him and asked him a million questions so he didn't get all his questions in. my posting keeps getting interrupted becuase he keeps talking to me.

i added a new picture and had to delete an old one...so now a new default picture for my gallery

i can't fix everything even if i want to. i try. i don't succeed. it isn't fun.


absense makes the heart grow fonder?


sometimes realizing something is quite rewarding. then thinking about it it loses it's appreication when i realize i should have known it the whole time.


strengths final tomorrow. i'm worried. yet i'm not worried. it's luck i think on how partial credit will be awarded. i believe i know the stuff. i am going to look over chapter 10 next since that is the only chapter we haven't been tested on so far. I gotta brush up on Mohr Circle garbage too. I thought i knew that stuff but i'm not sure if i do anymore. too bad i'm not skilled enough to pick up on the hints as to what will be on the final.

and now i feel like i'm spinning it's fun except my jaw hurts too.

some train tickets purchased. leaving here on the 12th at 5:15 pm. staying in philly until the 15th then coming back to philly on the 30th. nothing else pruchased yet.

i dont feel right. my jaw hurts. i've been clenching my teeth. i must not be happy
