Can you believe it? I mean, I haven't played online Scrabble in probably a year (or more), but tonight I decided I was up for a game, and it's gone. Something to do with digital gaming rights. Pshh.

I haven't blogged in months. I mostly don't blog because I really don't want to write of anything extremely personal- so all I am left with is school stuff to write about. Which, you know, can get boring.

But here goes.

End of May meant no more lame spring semester. I got all A's and made the dean's list!!! Beginning of June I started my first summer class (Interpersonal Communication- so interesting!!), and got an "A minus" in the class. Did you know that you don't get a 4.0 for an A-?? You get a 3.7. Ridiculous.

Then end of July I started the second summer class I signed up for, Problems in U.S. History. Interesting topic, but HELL OF BORING class. I almost died from boredom. The class ended yesterday; grades aren't posted yet, but I'm sure I got an A.

Other than getting ahead in credits this summer, I haven't done much.

OH, well I got a job at Lenscrafters, which is kind of exciting. I've worked there for almost a month now and I'm STILL training. As an eyewear consultant there is a lot to learn, suprisingly. I have to not only learn how to sell glasses, but I have to learn about prescriptions, lenses and frame materials and what kinds to recommend to people (dependent on their daily activities- like if you're really rough with your glasses you probably want polycarbonate material with the scotchguard). And then, I have to learn all of the pre-testing stuff, you know, like when they blow air into your eyes and take your medical history.

I can't wait until I'm trained though. I feel so lost everyday I go in. And when I'm trained, I'll make commission! Woo hoo!

So, that's all this blog has missed these past few months. Here's some other stuff that's been going on:

-Got new glasses (with Lenscrafters discount!)

-Hamlet's best friend Chase (my aunts dog) died from cancer :(

-Went to Santa Cruz with Julia and the family when she visited in July

-My car fell apart. LOL. Some piece of the rear driver's side brake fell apart and was making a bunch of crunching noises. My dad took the brake apart and fixed it.

-Started a pug meetup in July. A lot of people came, and I'm excited for the August meetup.

-I'm tired of the heat, and want winter to be here ASAP.

-I'm still planning to study in Sweden next year

-Today's Hamlet's "gotcha day" so we went to Petco and I got him some new toys. I can't believe we've had him for a whole year!

What's the best thing you ever bought off of Ebay or Craigslist?

textbooks! woooop.

I love Justin Timberlake's song "What Goes Around".  I actually didn't like it until I saw the video! But, the video obviously sold me on the song, as it is fucking awesome! I especially like the ending part of the video when Scarlett dies. I don't know why, but when the car is flipping the look on her face is hilarious! Hah.

Speaking of music videos, I really want to know why the Fall Out Boy video for "This Ain't a Scene" isn't on OnDemand, and why it hasn't shown up on any of the music channels. I've been recording all the shows on MTVH and Fuse for the last week or so, and then just fast forwarding it to see if the video is on there. IT ISN'T! It is becoming an obsession of mine to try and find it on TV, they really need to play it! Of course, I have seen the video online, but I really would like to see it on TV. And now that I can't find it, I really, really have to see it on TV lol.

But, I've been really catching up on music since I've been watching all the music channels lately. So I guess that's good? I really need a life.

I can't wait to see FOB in concert again. Last time I nearly died in the mosh pit thingy, so I'm planning on leaving for the show really early so I can get a front row spot. If I'm in the front row, I can hold onto the railing for dear life. Yup.

My room is a mess, it's making me sickkk. It would probably only take me a total of like, two minutes to clean it up, because messy to me is probably not like messy to you. I have clean clothes stacked on my bed, ready to put away, and the clothes I wore today are bundled on the floor. I just need to throw them in the hamper. I also have my CD case lying on my bed, and random CD's sporadically placed throughout my room. I just need to put all of that away, and I'm done!!!! Mwahahahahah.

Gosh, I'm bored. Life is boring. I wish I had a million dollars so I could travel all over the world. I could learn foreign languages and cultures, and do something different every day!! Sounds exciting.

I feel like all I ever talk about on here is about school, or work. I talk about homework, and how I'm gonna make the grade in chem class! Woo hoo!

At least today I "switched it up" by talking about music videos.

I don't think I'm the type of person that likes routine. I think I'm a person who looks like she likes routine, but secretly on the inside I want to go crazy and party and be random. And maybe it's not even the routine that bothers me, it's the fact that after three plus more years of college, I "get" to have a real life adult job and do the daily 9-5 grind. I really don't think that's me.

Anyway, I have to go. Tomorrow brings school, work, and dad's house. Oh joyfullness. I have to be up at seven... ech. I'm thinking about going to this local bands show tomorrow downtown. The band goes to StanState, so I thought it would be exciting. Only problem is, I don't have anyone to go with. Is it lame to go by myself?

xx

I should really be doing my chemistry homework.

But I don't feel like it. At all.

After getting barely three hours of sleep last night, I can't seem to concentrate because the incessant thought of, "sleep, comfy bed, dreams, la la land" won't leave me alone.

I cannot believe I let myself get so behind on school. I mean I am actually paying to go to school, and I'm doing really bad. It's all because I don't get enough sleep at night, so I only have so much energy to use during the day. I go to school at eight, work at one, and finally get home at five- thirtyish. By the time I get home, I'm literally brain dead. All I want to do is sleep. I usually do all of the easy homework that doesn't take much concentration, and then relax till I go to bed. I always figure, I'll do the major studying tomorrow, or, I can put it off until the weekend when I'll be more alert.  But then, I can't sleep at night. I just lay there like a fucking zombie. Pisses me off. So then the whole cycle repeats the next day. By the time the weekend comes, I'm so tired, that I sleep the weekend away.

Now, I'm so far behind, that I don't think that I will ever truely catch up.

I'm working (not so) diligently on my chemistry homework. I've completed 13 out of 28 problems, and I figured that I need to get 26 right to get an A. So 13 more to go... yay (or not).

I lurrve my italian class though. It's flippin awesome. Mi piace il courso di italiano ma no non mi piace la chimica. (I like my italian course, but I don't like chemistry.)

Quali e il tuo numero di telefono? (What is your telephone number?)

Mio numero di telefono e nove, nove, sei, otto, sette, sei, sette. (My telephone number is - you translate lol-)

Quanti anni hai? (How old are you?)

Ho dicotto anni. (I am 18 years old.) <-- I'm not sure if I spelled dicotto right, and I'm too lazy to look. But, basically it means 18.

Dove abitano i genitori? (Where do your parents live?)

Il mia madre abita e Modesto ma il mio padre abita e Salida. (My mom lives in Modesto but my dad lives in Salida.)

Okay, enough of that! :) Today was really embarrassing though. La professoressa called on me, and pointed to the board and asked (in italian) if this is the time right now, what time will it be in two hours? The time on the board was one thirty, and I somehow didn't get the part about two hours from now, so I hesitantly answered: one thirty??? I knew I was wrong, but I had to answer something. Come to find out, the answer was supposed to be: "Fra due ore sono le tre e mezzo." Gah.

Anyway, seriously, no more talking about italian! lol. I guess my life is pretty uneventful. I've been so bored lately, so starving for human interaction that doesn't consist of school or work. Because I'm a lame ass hermit by nature, I don't have many real "friends" to go HEY, lets go hang out at your house. It's kind of depressing, because all of high school I always thought I would make real friends, good friends in college. And I haven't. I've met a lot of new and interesting people, but they are all just acquantances (sp??? =/). Just people you say hi to when you see them in the library, or run into in the science building. I guess my "make friends" skill is extremely rusty. Which is weird, because my mom says I'm really charismatic, and that all the students at the driving school think I'm "cool". It doesn't make sense to me. I just need to try harder I guess.

I've been feeling so constrained because of the wanting to be social, but no one to hang out with thing. I want to be free, I want to PARTY and have fun. LIVE LIFE. I just don't know how. Someone hand me "Social Life for Dummies" please.

I hope I'm not as boring as I think I am.

On another note, tell me why I am a fucking science major? I just started thinking about chemistry again, and how it is now due in an hour and a half. I hate, hate, hate (x 100000000000000) chemistry. Someone shoot me, cause I have about five more chem classes to take. I want to be an english major, but the money is in science. AND I WANT THE MONEY MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can still write and publish stuff as a scientist. Boring stuff, but you know, stuff nonetheless.

Okay, I'm really off now to do my lame ass chemistry fucking homework :D.
