I don't update on the weekends. It's like I only update when I'm procrastinating or something.
Like today, I'm procrastinating on doing my chemistry lab.

Wow. Work today was insane. Phone call after phone call after phone call. The phone literally never stopped ringing. Not only that, but several people came in today to sign up. Today was probably the most hectic day since last summer. It was probably so bad because spring break is coming up.

I have one complaint about work and then I'll shut up: if you are a parent and english is your second language and YOU ARE NOT FLUENT, please please please have your child talk on the phone to me. It makes my life SO much easier because it gets so frustrating trying to figure out what they are saying. Because most of the time I am not comprehending what they are saying, I will repeat what they said to just make sure I have it right. I'm always polite when I repeat something, but the damn mexicans (yes DAMN MEXICANS! lol) get frustrated and snappy with me, like it's my fault I don't know how to speak mexican-english or something. Hellooooo, you're in America. Learn to speak english better. Or the other day this asian lady from stockton called in. I could tell she spoke english well, but I absolutely could not understand what she was saying because her accent was horrible. It was like nails on a chalk board, and I literally had to move the phone away from my ear. I mean no offense to asians, or mexicans, or whoever, but it just gets sooooooo frustrating so fast.

Tomorrow the Academy Is CD comes out. I MUST NOT FORGET.

The most embarrassing thing happened to me today. I had to give my Happy Birthday! speech in Public Speaking. I had the whole thing all memorized (well, it was an exemporaneous -sp?- speech, so my points were memorized) and ready to go, until this morning when I decided that it would be a good idea to change the introduction a little bit. Everything in the introduction was the same, just arranged differently, in a more concise and understandable way. So I gave my speech second today. I was trying so hard not to be nervous, but when I got up in the front of the class I was actually shaking. I don't understand what I was so afraid of! Why was I shaking?? lol. The first half of my introduction went well, but then I came to a transition that I had changed, and I forgot what was next. I stood up there for what felt like a good thirty seconds, my face filling with blood, my mind racing trying to remember what came next. Finally, the words came to me, and the rest of my speech went smoothly.

I guess next time I'll know not to change the introduction the morning before I have to give the speech!
