Today went pretty good. Nice and easy. My knee was hurting me a lot today. I don't know why my knees are causing me so much trouble lately. I mean, I know they are messed up, but they've never hurt so much or so often before. Maybe it's just the season's changing. Who knows?
I went to Nutrition class tonight. It was pretty boring. More talk about protein and what it does in the body. Last week we had our first exam in that class. We got the exam back today. Most people didn't do very good. There were only two A's and just a few B's. The rest were C's and below. I'm so happy with my grade. I was one of the few that got a B! Very cool! Even more cool is that I thought I'd get a C or something. To find out that I got a B instead is just super cool.
That's all for today. More tomorrow.

Da Bomb!
I swear, I have got to be da bomb when it comes to school work and tests! I just got back my first test from my Abnormal Psychology course (a 500 level course mind you) and got a 91% ! How cool is that?! The teacher even said to me, "Pretty good for someone who doesn't have a book". And you know what, it's true. I don't have the book for the class. Couldn't afford to buy even a used copy. Teacher put a copy of the text book on reserve in the library but I can only check it out for two hours at a time. And with my schedule being as busy as it is, it's hard to get over there to check it out and read it. In fact I didn't even end up reading any of the chapters that were covered on the test. I must be gifted.
Also, on a lot of my other assignments in other class, especially the daily assignments, I've been getting full points. Granted, the daily assignments are pretty easy but every little bit helps.
I am so da bomb!

More than Reading a Book
Today has been pretty boring so far. Woke up around 8:30 this morning and went to eat. Came back, goofed off, took a shower and got dressed. Just recently got back from a trip to WalMart to buy printer paper and apply for a job. Now I'm just chillin.
Tonight I have to go to some sort of Parent's University thing. Apparently its this thing for parents and families that teach them things about parenting and what not. I'm not really sure. My teacher is requiring us to go for at least an hour to an hour and a half. There will be a speaker. Her name is Dr. Sue Unger. Don't know who that is. But she'll be speaking on "Literacy Is More Than Reading a Book". I guess that might be interesting. They are even having a family style past dinner that only costs 25 cents. Not bad. Same as free food which saves me a meal at the campus dinning hall.
Well I'm going to goof off some more before I have to go to this thing for class. Need to try and get rid of this headache too. Ouch!

Hunk Alert!
Ok, so there is this guy that lives here in the same dorm as I do. His room is in the basement where as mine is on first floor. I've only seen him a few times but he is really, really hot! Tonight at an all hall program I sat next to him and couldn't help but take more than really long glances at him. I also finally found out that his name is Montez or that is what he is called. Not sure if I spelled it right.
Montez is a black guy, which makes him so much more gorgeous to me. I've always wanted to be with a black man. He also smells sooo good (a weakness of mine I might add). Not to mention he is fit and has lots of muscles. He's not necessarily tall, but he isn't short either. I wonder if he has a girlfriend or if he'd even be interested in me.
I can't help but drool every time I see him or think about him. *swoon*

Rejected Again
I had applied for a job here on campus about a week and a half to two weeks ago. It was a perfect job for me to have while on campus. They wanted someone that could work Tuesdays' and Thursdays'. My Tuesdays' and Thursdays' are completely free until 5 at night! They wanted someone that was eligible for federal work study. I'm eligible for it and even said I would accept it. The job was as a clerical assistant in the department of management and marketing and required a lot of office skills. I have a lot of office skills, most of them self taught! I wrote a cover letter for this job, I revamped my resume entirely, and I even provided a copy of my class schedule so that they would see that I was available. I even told them that if they wanted proof of my eligibility for federal work study, that I would get that for them too.
I was rejected again!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!
I really wanted this job but more than that I really need it. My parents can't help me out financially when it comes to school, nor can anyone else in my family. I'm doing this entirely on my own and without a job it's really hard to do. I don't understand why it's so hard for me to get an on campus job! I've applied for multiple jobs over and over again, but still nothing. I did almost have this one temporary job but it wouldn't work into my class schedule very well because of my night classes so I was rejected for that one too. Even over the summer when I tried to find a job out in California I couldn't get one.
Rejection, rejection, rejection!
I swear, it is so irritating and so unfair. I bet you that they gave the job to some blonde bimbo (no offense towards blondes--I'm just venting) that doesn't know the difference between a computer and a copy machine. Or even worse they gave it to some stuck up rich person who is going to school on their parents' money and doesn't even need a job! I really don't know who they gave it to but it just makes me so mad. I tried so hard to get it and I NEED it. When your expected family contribution according to the federal government is only $66 and your family can't even contribute $1, then you know that you need a job.
I don't know how I'm going to pay for insurance on my car or for my car tags in November. I have an etiquette dinner coming up for a class that I have to attend that's going to cost me somewhere between $10 and $15, none of which I have. I was only able to buy one book for class and I was only able to get it because I had sold off my Magic the Gathering cards over the summer.
Ack! Ok, I've been venting for awhile now. I feel a little bit better but I'm still pissed off about them rejecting me. I tell you, it just isn't fair!

Last Year of School Jitters
It is hard for me to believe that this is my very last year of college. It still feels as if I started my freshman year just yesterday. College has been quite an experience for me and one of the best experiences of my life. I have learned so much, both academically and otherwise. I've made many wonderful friends, had lots of fun, and learned some stuff in the process. Even if I did change my major several times.
But now this is my last year and I'll have to leave what has become so familiar and comforting to me. I've never "really" been out in the real world and on my own. I've always had the security of knowing that my parents were nearby and could help, or that I had somewhere to go if I just needed a break. It won't be that way when I get out. My parents can't help me because of financial difficulties they themselves are having, and I don't even know for sure what I'm going to do or where I'm going to go when I get out of here. It is all so confusing and it really gives me the jitters because it is all so uncertain. I've never been good and dealing with the uncertain and so graduation, when it comes in May, is probably going to be very nerve wracking for me. I hope that I get through it ok.
