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!

People are seriously annoying me. If I have to hear, "And that's the soonest appointment you have?.... are you sure? That's ridiculously far out..." or anything along those lines again today, I am going to scream!

Yes, that is the soonest unless you can go in the morning. You can't go in the morning? Well, that sucks for you!

I mean, what do people think? That I'm purposely offering them an appointment that's a really long time from now?

GAH. No wonder I complain so much. It's because I have to listen to other people complain all day about their damn driver's training appointments!

Blah

Last night I got maybe two hours of sleep. Two hours! I seriously just layed there for hours and hours, my mind on overdrive. Today I'm walking around like a zombie, depression is setting in. Common symptoms of no sleep. I hate my brain sometimes. I wish I was one of the people that just lays their head down and zonks out.

So please bear in mind, I'm extremely negative right now.

I'm at work, my oh so favorite place to be. No, I didn't quit. I wanted to so bad, but I thought about it more and realized that I: a. really do enjoy having my own money to spend; b. would be a huge burden on my parents, as far as paying for gas and other necessities, and; c. if i were to go and look for another job during the summer, I couldn't find as good a job as this one. I mean, they work around my schedule, I get paid more than minimum wage, and I get paid just to be here pretty much. All Colleen really cares about is if there is someone here to enroll new students. She even told me I can work on homework and do whatever, which is why she probably got so mad at me when I left five minutes early. My primary job is just to be here. That's it.

On to another subject. I'm hungry. Ho fame.

All I've had today is coffee, and that doesn't even really count as food. Oh my gosh, I just started getting the hiccups really bad right now. Not that you (whoever you are) needed to know that. But, yeah. Hah.

Okay, I need to be done writing for now. I don't want a customer to come in when I'm in "mid-thought".

Leaving Early

nobody@vox.com(So Jessy) — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:33:26 -0700

So.

I get off of work at five o' clock.
Today, I thought, heck, I'm going to leave five minutes early. I didn't think it was a big deal, but apparently, I was wrong.

At 4:55, I locked the door to the office, and began walking to my car. Just as I got there, I got a call from my manager. In a snotty tone she goes, "I was just calling to find out what time you left work today?" I obviously reply, I just barely walked out the door and got to my car. She goes, well there is this lady waiting at the front door for a pre-enroll, and you need to go take care of it. And then hangs up on me.

Okay, first of all: I am getting sick and tired of her ordering me around. Yesterday, she told me ON A STICKY NOTE that I would have to stay until 5:30 because some lady is coming in for a pre-enroll. She shouldn't expect that I'm just going to stay. She needs to call and ASK. If she had, she would have known that I had plans with my dad and couldn't stay. So to give her a taste of her own medicine, I left her a note saying that I couldn't stay. hehehe. I thought I was cute.

Back to today: I didn't end up leaving the office until 5:20... I was pissed! And will I get paid for those twenty minutes, NOPE! It's just irritating. She shouldn't talk to me in a snotty tone, when I left work a whole five minutes early. Not only that, but I never ever leave early. Almost always five minutes after. And, if I'm going to work straight from school, I usually get there a half hour early so I can eat and relax before I start. But then that never happens, because my boss is always in the office at that time, and immediately starts telling me what she wants me to do that day, and sets me to work. And do I get paid for that half hour EVER? NOPE!

I'm seriously quiting. Tomorrow.

Recap

nobody@vox.com(So Jessy) — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 20:54:04 -0800

I haven't posted a serious blog in exactly two months. But let me tell you, if I had, you would be seriously bored.

So my last post was December 15, 2006. Daniel had a birthday (he turned 14) on the 17th of December, and Christmas was the 25th (well, duh). My mom, Daniel, Nisha and I went to my papa's house to celebrate Christmas with my aunts, cousins and some of Kay's (Kay is my papa's girlfriend) family.

For the New Year, we went to my moms friend Sherry's, brother's house. It was so boring and my mom got SO drunk. Around eleven o' clock I managed to talk my mom into leaving, and we went to my papa's house.

On January 5th, I started feeling sick. I week later I went to the doctor, and found out through a blood test that I had mono! I had it really, really bad. My throat was so swollen that I couldn't eat, and my head (yes, MY HEAD) was so swollen that it was squeezing my eardrums (or something) so I that it felt like I had a never ending earache. My ears hurt so bad that I had a really hard time sleeping. If you've ever had mono, you know that all you DO is sleep, so it was horrible. I would sleep for fifteen minutes and wake up because of my ears, and then I would turn my head and my neck would hurt. It would feel like I had just gotten major whiplash or something. The mono also affected my liver, so technically, I'm still in full blown mono right now. I feel pretty good on the outside, but if I press against my liver, it hurts slightly. And the horror of my liver being affected is that I can't eat greasy or SPICY foods!!!! I just about died when I heard that, because I adore spicy food. Of course, at that time I couldn't even eat anything so it didn't really matter, but still.

Because of the mono, I had to drop my winter class. So now I have a big, fat W on my transcripts. Since my bloodwork still isn't coming back normal, I have to take it easy. Unfortunately, I just started the spring semester, and let me tell you, my schedule is INSANELY CRAZY. I have four classes MWF and I made them so they are all seven minutes apart. I also made my schedule where I have to literally run from class to class, because they are all on opposite sides of the campus. And Stan State is pretty big.

Yesterday was my first day of classes, and I feel like crap today. If I don't take it easy, I could relapse and get much worse than I was. At least if I don't relapse, I'll be losing a lot of weight from all the running! Haha.

So pretty much since January 5th, I've been doing absolutely nothing. I went back to work last week, which was hectic. While I was gone, the schedules got screwed up and the paperwork was barely touched. I spent the whole first week fixing everything and catching up the paperwork.

So school! It's interesting. I'm taking LOGIC, CHEMISTRY, PUBLIC SPEAKING (ew), and ITALIAN. I am so, so, so excited about learning Italian. Yesterday, the professor walked right in the room and started rambling in Italian. At the end of the class, she talked in english, and told us that she will never again speak english because we won't learn italian that way. Which makes sense. It's a really awesome class, I can tell it's going to be lots of fun by the way she teaches it. She pretty much parades around the room talking nonsense, but I actually did learn a lot (for a first day) and left the class with a huge smile on my face. Come ti cheeami? Mi cheeamo Jessica. LOL. I don't know if i spelled that right.

Chemistry actually looks easy. The syllabus describes every chapter, and it seems like at least half of it I have already learned in the Chemistry class I took freshman year, and a quarter of it I learned in Enviromental Science last year. The class will probably go into more depth then what I have already learned, but it seems I have a good basis for succeeding.

Okay, no one is going to read all of this rambling about school, so I'm going to shut up now about that.

In other news: my mom bought me and her new queen sized beds with her taxes. I have had the same, twin sized bed since I was two, and it's kinda nasty now. My dad said he bought it for fifty dollars, so I guess it's not even a nice, old bed. I've slept on it for sixteen years, so I wouldn't know if it's a cheapy bed. It's all I've ever known!

NISHA: Things with him and I aren't going so well right now. A couple of weeks after I got sick I found out about a huge, CONTINUOUS lie that he told, so things have been pretty rocky. He really needs to move out, as I need my space to get over it, and so I can learn to trust him again (if I can).

DANIEL: Brothers, geez. So annoying, but you gotta love them. He is doing a lot better in school now, which is good. Danny did get suspended for cussing out a substitute teacher a few weeks ago (hah, he is our mothers child), but at least he isn't in danger of working at Burger King for the rest of his life anymore. Gosh Burger King, how I totally do not miss thee. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I QUIT. Gah.

CHRIS: is doing well. He got a good job in Sunnyvale or something (?) that pays around seventeen dollars an hour (I think? lol).

I guess I've rambled all I can right now... I can't think of anything more to say. Let's pray I don't over-do myself and get mono again. No more W's!!! Hehe.

The OC is starting in a few minutes, so I have to hurry downstairs to watch it. I can't believe how entirely stupid the show has gotten. Since there are only two more episodes left, I feel obliged to watch it though.

Later!

Lazy

nobody@vox.com(So Jessy) — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 00:01:15 -0800

All day... no, all WEEK I have been laying around my house doing absolutely NOTHING. I have been alone (plus!) and I've mostly done only what I want to do. It has been so, so, sooo very long since I have had even one day like that, let alone a week. Finals are bliss! I had to go Monday and Thursday (today) this week. Monday was regular schedule, and today I had my government final. I am feeling pretty good about things, especially considering I'm not failing anything. Because of laziness, I allowed my "for sure" A in english to drop to a B. Oh well. All my grades are going to be B's, and I might get one or two (hopefully not!) C's.

Today I think I reached the point where I'm getting bored with being by myself. Everyday this week I had at least one productive thing to do, but today I really haven't. Monday was normal, I went to school and worked at the driving school. Tuesday I worked at Victoria's Secret, and Wednesday I worked at the driving school again. Today, all I had was my government final. It was from 11:15 to 1:15, but Sorina and I both were done with the final and home by 12:30. So after that, all day, I have been a TV slash internet whore. My butt seriously hurts! Ha ha.

I watched the OC episode tonight. It was so stupid, yet entirely addicting. It was "Chrismukkah" in the Cohen household. Ryan and Taylor fell off of a ladder together and were thrown into an "alternate universe" where the world as they know it had been turned upside down. In reality, they were safe and sound in the hospital with friends and family waiting for them to awake from the harmless coma that they were in. The only way thay could wake up from this coma was to finish any unresolved business in the alternate universe. Pretty pointless, but interesting nonetheless. I can't imagine Summer being a bimbo.

My mom just walked up and scared the hell out of me! Oh, my god haha. It made me scream! I guess I shall get off the laptop now. Perhaps I will go to sleep, or maybe I will lay in bed and begin a new book. Choices, choices.
