I just checked, and my Mass Media grade is a B. Better then I expected (although I still wish it were an A)!

All of my Christmas shopping is done. Tomorrow I plan on wrapping everything and organizing and cleaning. Sounds like fun?

Gosh, I almost cannot wait until Christmas is over. I can live without all the added traffic while driving and crowds while I'm shopping. And not to mention that once Christmas is over we can finally take down our tree. Hamlet has enjoyed running around the tree, trying to eat the tree, trying to pick up presents by the bow and running around with them, jumping on presents and smushing them, etc. It's almost like a never ending hell =/ lol.

And I cannot believe Chantal didn't win ANTM! I thought for sure she would because she seemed to want it the most. Little tid bit of the day (or night?)- did you know that Tyra used to be on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Daniel is watching it right now and Tyra is on the screen-- which sparked my ANTM remark. I am glad Saleisha won though, and I would have been happy no matter who won. I just felt that Chantal deserved/wanted it the most.

Yawn. Well I'm off to sleep. Since the semester is over (and all the stress that comes with it) I will probably be on here a lot more. Speaking of which, it is so weird not having to worry about anything. I keep on going over "what I have to do" in my head and then realize that the answer is nothing. Strange, but nice.

PS: look how cute Hamlet looks in his little sweater! It even has a hood. But ew, his eyes look so demented. Trust me, without the glare of the camera they are a really beautiful dark brown =D.

I have to say that finally looking at my grades took a huge load off my mind. I was so worried about my english grade because I had absolutely no idea where I stood in the class - the professor never returned essays or tests and I was too much of a sissy to meet her in her office hours.

The other class I'm worried about is Mass Media. If I get a C or lower in the class I am going to report the professor somehow. She didn't teach us anything. She assigned every person a chapter in the book and assigned us days when we would present the chapter. So pretty much it was the students teaching the students. She never went over what would be on the exams, and when asked what we should specifically study she told us to read the book. So I did the reading for the first exam and I got a C, so that method didn't work very well. In fact, the whole class failed that test. Two people got C's and the rest got D's and F's.

Anyway, while checking my grades I noticed that I one of the classes I signed up for in the spring semester was cancelled. So I had to rearrange my schedule earlier today because of that. Grrr. So now I'm taking:

-Introduction to Theatre
-Introduction to Music
-US Reconstuction through WWII
-Yoga
-Computers (might drop this)
-Newswriting for the Media

That is A LOT of classes, but all of them should be easy except for the Media and Reconstruction ones. The spring semester will be my last semester taking lower division courses. I will be able to start taking upper division- or junior level classes after that. All I have left to do really is finish up my general education classes, so that is why most of the classes I will be taking sound kind of dumb. Newswriting is the really important one because it is a prereq for my minor. The computer class is recommended for my major, but not required. So I might drop that and take only 13 units instead of 16. We'll see how I feel as February gets closer =).

On Monday I need to start a new birth control pill pack, but my insurance has yet to mail me one. I went to the gynocologist a month ago, got the new prescription, mailed it in right away, and then waited. My insurance requires that I get all prescriptions through mail order- so I can't go to a pharmacy like a normal person. I called today and it is still processing. My order has been processing for two weeks now! Grrr, grrr and more grrr. So I called the gyno and they faxed my prescription over to the pharmacy. I am going to have to straight out pay for the prescription because I absolutely cannot wait for them to mail it.

Without the pills I will gain weight, not have periods, and get hairyer (sp?). Minus the physical problems that will occur without the pills, not getting my period is even worse. I am at risk for uterian cancer if I don't have a menstrual cycle once a month, and not to mention I randomly get hormonal for no reason. I'm worried that my insurance forgot that I have PCOS and is wondering why they are covering me for the pills. When I first started on the pill it was absolute hell with the insurance because they do not normally cover birth control. So we had to prove that I had a situation that required the birth control, but it took forever! If we have to do that again, I swear....

Hawthorne Heights used to be one of my favorite bands, and Casey's death came as a shock to me. I really want to know his cause of death, but it hasn't been released yet. The band says that they can say for sure he was not doing anything illegal. We'll see though. He might have been on something without anyone being aware of it. I hope not, but you never know.

So when was the last time I updated this thing? It's been a WHILE. For all my invisible readers, I apologize. Life has been so hectic, insane and stressful over the past month. I have written so many essays that even the mere thought of writing for pleasure gave me shivers down my spine. And I love to write, so you know my professors had dumped a load of writing assignments on me.

Thankfully, tomorrow is my last "official" day of school. Friday is my first final (so I have Tuesday through Thursday off!), and my last final is next Tuesday. Yipee.

I'm officially broke. If it weren't for my mother, I'd be living on the streets.

Hamlet got neutered ten days ago. He is doing well and hasn't seemed to notice that he's been de-balled. Currently, he is laying at my feet chewing on a rawhide.

This ^ ^ is a picture of Hamlet and his sister at the rabies clinic on 11/17/07. His sister's name is Schnookums. Heheh. She is the one that is turned away from the camera. We were able to meet up with his sister's owners, it was neat to see her!  

We got our Christmas tree yesterday. I haven't started to feel the Christmas spirit yet, but the tree is helping a bit. The first thing Hamlet did when he saw the tree? He sniffed around, checked it out, and then peed right next to it. And he hasn't had an accident in months! Grrr, he must think the tree means that he is outside or something.

Lately I've been in super cleaning mode, in order to sort of pay my mom back for the money she's been loaning me. Mopping, vaccumming and dusting... oh my!

Alright, I suppose that's all for now. I have to finish writing up an extra credit paper due tomorrow before I turn in for the night.

Question of the Day: Who do you think will win "America's Next Top Model"?
My answer: Chantal.

Yours...? Leave me a comment to let me know! Finale's on Wednesday!!
