Friends and Taxes...

Yay... thanks to help from D-dog and Turbo Tax, my state and federal taxes are all done. >^.^< Now, all I need to do is mail em out and do my local taxes. (This was the first time I ever had to really file anything. Last year was a breeze since I wasn't working yet.) *yawn* Time for bed now. *sigh* Tomorrow is my last day of spring break (w/o work.) The week has gone by way too fast.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... yesterday, Na`na` and I hung out together, ate ice cream, and went to the movies and today Meg, Daemon, and I went out to the mall, played DDR, ate, and went shopping. I had I moment of weakness in one the stores and bought (and bartered for it too!) something that I love... and I'm sure D-dog will like it too. I keep taunting him with it... hehe... he won't know until tomorrow what it is. Anyways... it's really time for bed. Night.

YAY! D-dog has a blog! and other assorted updates...

>^.^< D-dog now has blog. (You can find the link under "pathways to my friends")

Anyways, today might be the day I drop a class. I'm meeting with my advisor at 10AM today to discuss it. I'm not looking forward to it, but something needs to be done. *sigh* I hate failing... Maybe I'm just over reacting and it isn't as bad as I make it sound... maybe....

I reminded my family (Dad and D-dog) yesterday that spring break is next week. Both of them looked at me with blank faces... figures... I guess I should have reminded then more, but I thought if I told them well in advance (I told them a month or so ago) that they could take off a couple days and we could do something. I guess I can alsways pick up extra shifts at work... what a fun spring break for me. At least I won't have school to deal with.

*holds stomach and curls up* Ugh... I don't feel too good today. I slept through my alarm (either that or it just stopped going off) and was late to Physics. Now I feel sick. *sneezes* Oh, great... the fun just keeps getting better and better...

Dad's 40th and Mass

Well, in ya'll didn't know, the 28th was Dad's 40th birthday. (OOooo... big 4-0) Anyways, we went to the Los 3 Amigos to celebrate and Mimi and I got my Dad the exact same card. Lol... The card had like 10 different ways to say someone's turning 40 on the front and inside it says something like "I'd go on, but you probably want to kill me by now. Happy Birthday" It was a good birthday and Dad definitely does NOT look his age.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. I don't know it everyone knows, but I attend a catholic college. I'm not Catholic, or any denomination for that matter, but one my friends invited me to mass. So yesterday was my first time as mass... ever. It was extrememly crowded, but the service wasn't bad at all. I had my friend Anne right next to me so that I ask her about anything that I didn't understand. Oh, and I even talked D-dog into coming with me too. >^.^< I'm also thinking about participating in Lent this year. So far I haven't had any red meat or chocolate... so I'm thinking about giving up one or both.

Johari and Nohari

I don't think my "quiz thing" has attracted a lot of interest. Therefore, I am making a separate post and repost the link the the Johari Window. In addition, I am posting a link to my Nohari Window. In case you unfamilar with these terms (like I was, up until just a while ago) Johari is a collection of positive personality traits and Nohari is a collection of negative personality traits. Please be honest. If you can't be honest, don't bother doing it. Thank you.

STRESS! and Quiz thing

I just got done with back to back Calc II and Physics exams. In case you don't know, these are my hardest classes, and the exams always come back to back. I've come to a deciosion. Unless I do better on both exams (compared to the previous exam) I am going to drop the class with the lowest exam grade. I'm not very optimistic about the scores either and I'm not sure which I screwed up more... all that's left now is to wait. The only upside to this is that when/if I drop a class, it won't effect my GPA and I'll still be a full time student (that way I can keep my scholarships). Oh, and then I can concentrate on one hard class and do better.

Today in general has just sucked. On the upside, D-dog comes home earlier on Wednesdays and we're going to Sess's for dinner. (It'll be the first time for me to see her new place) I hope I get to see Na`na` too...

Oh, I saw this quiz thingy on Cora's blog so I thought I'd have a go at it. Maybe we can both learn something from it. It's about what I think of me and what you think of me. Enjoy.

V-day and Rusty

V-day was a blast... well, actually it was the ides of February to be exact, but whose cares? D-dog wrote out about 10 poems and hid them all around the house. Each poem was a riddle that I had to solve to get to next. And each poem was in a plastic heart with something like "I love you" or "Sweetheart" on it. And there were little gifts next to some of the clues. All together I got some 100 Grand fun size bars, 9 packs of gums, fake/real looking roses (there won't die on me!), a card, and an extra dark Hersey's chocolate bar. Plus, he took me out to eat. We went to Thai 9 at first, but they're closed from 2:30 to 5 for some unknown reason, so we grabbed some chicken from KFC. Hehe. I have the sweetest boyfriend.

Yesterday wasn't so much fun. I went through the day, and had two exams, thinking in the back of my head that Rusty (my German Shepard) was going to be put to sleep. I got home soon enough so that I could go to the vet with my dad and D-dog ended showing up at the last minute. As it turns out, Rusty has really bad allergies, which a causing a bad ear infection and skin problems. So now he's on two antibiotics and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Okay, g2g. Exam and homework... you know how it is....

Grr... what is it already!!!

D-dog has this V-day surprise for me.... the only problem was that Mimi, Papa, and Dad all got home early yesterday, so now I have to wait til later today to find out what he's ploting. I hate not knowing what he's up to, but even more, I hate the delay. Grr. Anyways, more on this later.

*sigh* Currently I'm typing up my Exam paper from philosophy. 2-3 pg on the meaning of life by critiquing Nagel's and Socrate's point of view and including my own and 1-2 on Tronto's political theory. And I have a Chem exam tomorrow... *sigh* Back to work.
