A Child’s Romance

It’s the weekend. Let’s take a break.

So this isn’t going to be an in-your-face post today. I figured we could all use a break before I delve into whatever topic I’m going to start with.

But I’m thinking that once a week I’ll write a post about a topic and everyone who wants to can discuss it in the comments. But I have to find some time to do some research so I can link to different places that I got my information from. I must say I’m pretty excited about this idea, I think it could be quite fun. I know that I’ll at least learn something new from this. We’ll find out how it goes, if it goes well I’ll keep doing it. If it doesn’t then I won’t. Simple no?

It’s Saturday night and I feel as though I haven’t gotten anything done this weekend. I did finish all of my Math homework for the week, just in time for our first test on Monday. I still have to do the Chemisty study guides and the Chemistry quiz (online) by Monday. I have to print out and edit my Biology notes. I have to write three conclusions and do the write up for my next Biology lab. I have to finish my pre-lab for Chemistry and finish the last lab for that class too.

Not all of it has to absolutely be done, but I’d feel a lot better if it was all done and ready for monday because I will have NO time this week to do anything. I work really weird hours and a lot of them so I can’t take time out of the week to do homework and rewrite notes and such.

I wish there was a cure for procrastination.

In other news today at work was weird. Or at least it was weird between a friend and I. She asked me if I had a crush on a male coworker. A male coworker I like a lot and get along with really well. I said no. I never even thought about this male coworker in this way so I had to stop and think, “was I giving off thsi whole I-have-a-crush-on-him vibe?” I asked her why she asked me that. She said we had a weird relationship. A relationship that seemed like I had a crush on him. Now I’m wondering how many other coworkers think this.

It was an odd remark and then I started to think about it. I suppose if I was younger I could have a crush on him. But I always saw him as a kid, simply because he was younger than me and sometimes I do boss him around a bit. I never saw him in a crush-worthy light. I still don’t, he’s the kid that is fun to work with and that I can boss around.

Ah, oh well, my store is a huge gossip bed so I’m sure in the next few weeks I’ll have a juicy rumor to tell you all about.

On another note a customer that I helped today is bringing in her son to ‘find some jeans.’ Which is total mom code for, “I think your cute and I’m bring my son in to meet you tomorrow.” Too bad he’s 19 too. I don’t know what it is but I just don’t generally go for guys younger than me.

The last guy I had a crush one was 35. He was also my teacher and going through a divorce.

Politics?

So I haven’t really sat down and written anything of substance in quite a while. I feel bad for that but what I want to write about just hasn’t come to be easily. Mainly because it’s completely  new to me. Brand new and it’s something I’m really naive about (yes I admit it. I don’t know everything. Who knew?). This post is going to be about politics. Or my lack of knowledge about it.

If you are a long(ish) time reader or you just read the about me page you know that I turned 21 this year. So this is my first BIG thing that I can vote for. Sure I could have voted for Governer, but really? I knew that Arnold was going to get elected again and I am an absentee voter and kind of forgot to get my vote in the mail. So anyhoo back to my point. This is the first big thing that I can vote for and I really don’t know anything about politics. Or rather what I do know comes from reading fellow bloggers and little bits that I catch from different news sources.

My entire family is Republican. As a result I put that on my little party thing. So yeah I suppose I’m technically a republican.

The closer it gets to November the more I am encountered with McCain this and Obama that (of course!) and I just feel like I really have no idea what’s going on.

Really the only thing I have an opinion on is that I don’t like Sarah Palin. Not because her daughter is pregnant because jeez I’ve had more friends get knocked up in high school than not it seems like. But because she is for teaching abstinence only in high school and nothing else. Which doesn’t work. I’m sure it has to do with her religious beliefs (I’m guessing..like I said I really don’t know) but I’m not kosher with just that kind of information. I’ve seen first hand the disasters that come with not being well informed about sex. Not just pregnancy either, really in this day and age that would be the least of my problems. Finding out that one of your friends has HIV from her boyfriend because he cheated on her was probably one of the worst things I can imagine coming from not being informed about sex.  The world is scary enough, we don’t need to add uninformed children having sex into the mix.

But like I said that’s really the only thing I know about this whole election (I know I’m such a great citizen, aren’t you jealous?). It’s just that lately if it wasn’t in a textbook or on a college website I was interested. It’s as simple as that.

I don’t really know where I’m going with this either. I think I’m just saying that as a young adult I seem to be the only one not jumping on a vote because Obama’s black or because Sarah’s a girl. I don’t know much about this election (I hope to learn more…but like I said unless they start talking chemistry I might not get around to it) but I think the stupidest thing you can do is vote while being uniformed or not vote at all because you don’t care.

So yeah I should probably start to sum this thing up now shouldn’t I? I don’t really know how.

I just think it’s sad that people my age (myself included) aren’t making themselves informed about something that is important. I mean hello we are picking a leader for the country for crying out loud. Can’t we take some time and get informed about it? It’s just so ridiculous that we all know exactly when Jessica Alba’s baby was born and what her name is (seriously Honor? like I can’t make a sex joke about that) but we don’t take time and figure out where each candidate stands on issues that are important.

I guess this kind of just turned into a big slap in the face for me didn’t it?

HNT 3

So this is my Third HNT. I got it done right after I got home from school but then my Mother started to bitch at me about the trip to Flordia so I’m just now getting it up.

Yeah. It was pretty much too hot to do anything else other than lay in front of my air conditioner when I got home.

You can see in the back of the picture next to my camera is my awesome frozen yogurt. Yum.

Pretty much how my week is going.

Monday night at work:

“Man I turn 18 in like six months so you can sleep with whoever you want to.”

She says something I can’t hear

“Well just don’t bring home the herpes.” Then he looks at me like he’s God’s gift to women. Yeah.

Tuesday morning walking to class:

“I can’t believe that bitch stole my parking space!”

“Yeah I know dude it like has your name on it.”

“Doesn’t she know that’s like where I park EVERYDAY!”s

Me: “That’s not your fucking space Moron. If you wanted it so bad then get here fucking earlier. And don’t drive such a fucking redneck truck ass monkey.”

“Oh was that you in the Mazda?”

“Damn straight bitches.”

Wednesday at school:

“I don’t understand how to do this.”

Me: “It’s easy. Just weight the empty beaker, fill with 10mL of water, weight, fill with 10 more, weigh again and fill and weight one more time. Then you repeat the procedure using a buret instead of a graduated cylinder.”

“Oh I know that.”

Me: Well that’s all you have to do.”

“Oh OK.”

Five minutes later.

“I don’t understand this. How do you do it?”

Can I go one week without having or hearing a stupid conversation? Please?

This weekend was not nearly long enough

So I have a question for the masses. But first some random tid bits.

I have signed up for twitter finally. Follow me if you want. In the next few days I’ll get around to following you I promise! I just have to keep up on school work first.

I really hate working on holidays. It seems that only the very, very, very stupid shop on holidays. Like really I don’t need to know about a guy’s herpes situation. Really I don’t.

I have to talk to my district manager tomorrow and I’m really nervous. I know that it’s to recify a situation so it doesn’t get worse, but still the big big bosses make me nervous.

I still have not finished all of my homework. Really? I have issues. It’s not like I had all that much to begin with. I have a feeling that this semester is going to be FUN. Oy.

I love my phone to bits and pieces. It’s a blackberry curve. I’d link to it, but I’m just too damn tired at the moment.

So now for my big question.

What should I be for halloweend?

Leave your ideas in the comments people!

Feel the Teal

Apparently I’m not Cohesive in the early AM

So I’ve been wanting to post all day but I don’t really have anything post-worthy to report.

I have a lot of homework that I put off until this weekend only to have to work the entire weekend (except tomorrow). So tomorrow is going to be very school heavy.

Tuesday I have to talk with my district manager. I can’t say what about but this time I, thankfully, AM NOT in trouble.

I’m getting a new phone tomorrow (I hope). So yay for that!

I have found round trip tickets to Flordia for super cheap (less than $300). Not only am I impressed with my thrifty skills, I am relieved that now I have this much more money to put towards getting out of debt.

My Dad forbid to go to Flordia, I think three times so far.

Imagine how much he’s going to FLIP OUT when I leave to the San Jose airport and leave the car in the overnight parking for the ENTIRE WEEKEND. I think I might actually give him a coronary this time.

My dog’s poop is purple. I am seriously wondering what the hell he is eating.

Yeah that’s pretty much it as it’s past midnight and I have to get up early for all the yummy studying and show watching with my Mom and Grams and phone buying.

HNT 2

So I couldn’t get this up until tonight. School is a time sucker like that.

But without further ado here it is:

Every girl should have a pair of hot pink underwear in my opinion.

The weeks not over yet?

I know I haven’t been here. It took me forever to get back to comments. I wanted to do it earlier but Tuesday killed me. I start school at 8am and got home around 10pm. I had work right after class so I was dead by the time I got home. I know people have worked longer hours and I shouldn’t be complaining because I did have breaks between everything, but after a very lazy summer it was a shock to remember that ‘oh yeah some days are that long.’

It also didn’t help that apparently I got conjuctivitis and wore my contacts for that entire time. Right now I’m glasses and will be until my eyes heal up. Yeah I’m pretty much crying all the time. Not because it hurts or because I want too, but because I have a clear discharge that’s similar to tears that’s trying to flush the viruses that cause conjuctivitis. That might be a little bit of an overshare but oh well I can’t really see what I’m typing at the moment anyways.

So I apologize if I don’t comment on blogs for the next few days. I READ them it’s just that I have to take breaks from looking at the computer screen about every 10 minutes because my eyes start to burn. So I might not comment (or respond to comments) for the next few days.

So yeah this first week has been FUN! But it actually kind of has. I know I bitched about Chemistry but I’ve made some tentative friends in the class and pretty much all of them have Biology with me and two have Precalulus with me as well. So I’m in classes everyday with them. I’m pretty excited for this semester. I am already in love with my Bio class and Chemistry isn’t all that bad (yet).

I just hope my eyes get better because I have to work this weekend. Ick.

Oh and I suppose there’s one more thing I should mention:

I’m going to Avitable’s Halloween Party!

I know you are all jealous bitches now. (except the ones that are going of course)

The First Day of School

I hate Chemistry. I hate Chemistry with a hot, sordid passion. It’d be easier to hate Chemistry with this awesome passion if my Chemistry teacher wasn’t so cute. She’s bouncy and adorable and so excited to teach us kids. But that doesn’t make the class itself any more fun.
