Today, Barb is feeling: stressed, tired, hungry, happy, confused, tired, sad, stressed...
yea so that is me in a nut shell right now
what, you might ask, is the reasoning behind barbs fluctuating moods?
one word ladies and gentlemen, FINALS!
yes it is that time of the year again, finals are upon myself.
but with finals comes the knowledge of Christmas, Neww Years, my birthday and then the oh so blessed event, barb going to SCOTLAND!!!!!!
yep yep yep! i leave either on the 2nd or 3rd of Feburary. going to be very excited.
talked to my bank people about getting a loan and i can get one, the interest rate is kinda high, but i need to talk to momma and see if she would co-sign on it, and then the interest rate might go down. and if that doen'st work, then i am supposed to try taking my name off as a co-signor and leaving her name on, but the loan would still be in my name and everything. so i need to talk to momma about that tomorrow.
confused yet?
i am
my eyes hurt and so i am going to go home and sleep and study and clean. not in that order mind you. :-)
later yo!

Today, Barb is feeling: tired, but good
so this is the last Tuesday of class for me this semester.
next tuesday is our 'study day' and Wednesday, thursday, Friday, monday and Tuesday are our finals. it is a new schedule and kinda weird, but works for me.
so last night we had our Gender Equality Meeting, and after we were done we just sit there and talk about what is going on in our lives. and they decided that we want to throw me a going away party. now, this would be like, the very last saturday in january which would be the 28th, i think. and we were debating where we should have it. and Paul and i were thinking the same thing. what about jake, phil, adam, and janes house? half of me wants to ask them because i think that they would say yes, because we have almost all the same friends and it would give them a reason to throw a party. but then its like, its not my house, and it would be my party, and like i would feel bad asking them and i don't know. but i decided that i would run my idea past Jake, see what he thinks, and then figure it our from there.
so i might have a going away party, i might not. i want it in a place that allows me and mine to drink, and since not all are of age, that leaves a house. but where?!?!?!?!?!
but other than that, i am doing well in classes.
things are progressing along nicely.
and i am ready to go back to bed.

Today, Barb is feeling: silly!
i love my brother Jim!!!!!!
check out the comment that he posted for the last blog i did.
it is so funny!
one night at the bar (i think it was thursday night) , we decided that we were just going to annex texas from the US. i mean, mexico had it to begin with, so we will just give it back. then we started thinking, maybe we should get rid of Florida and some of the other down south states. what we decided is that east coast, like Cali and everything we will keep. and then we will take the New England states and like MN and WI and some other northern-midwest states and just break off. we decided to either break off and start our own country, or just join canada. but we decided that all the other southern states and such will be call 'The United Bush of Religious Fanatics-land" (name is pending)
so that is my rant for the day.

Today, Barb is feeling: very very very scared for the next four years of my life.
so yesterday Adam and i were talking and this was our conversation
A - So, how ya feeling?
B - Not so good.
A - Oh yea?
B - Yea.
A - Whats wrong?
B - Well, i feel a little sick, scared, disheartened, suicidal.
A - Yep, all the signs of a true liberal.
so maybe not so suicidal but it did enter my brain for like, 3 seconds.
other than that, i am just really worried about what the world will look like when these next four years are over with.
i got this email from my friend Phil today,
Democrats,
Today, like many of you, I am sick from the election results, but I have hope and see many points of optimism.
It is an amazing feat that we doubled the number of students who voted at Rodli, as compared to 2000. The number was 1708 to 852. And, when I say that is a feat *we*, the democrats, accomplished, I say so because our numbers helping out with the New Voter Project was many, compared to the one republican involved with the group—one out of the many conservatives were registering students, rallying the vote, and simply begging students to vote, like we did. Why is this? The republicans knew that if young voters vote, Kerry would win. Because of our effort, we won Pierce County. It’s very promising we still have our rock-star senator, Russ Feingold. We won Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Most importantly, over this year we all made some good friends and met some cool people. Personally, I feel very fortunate to have met all of you. That’s the thing about being a liberal though, isn’t it? We are all nice and accept everyone.
Our organization is a standout because we have a woman as our president. Would you ever see a woman in charge of the CR’s?
No.Speaking of the CR’s, we must remember some of them are good people. And, because we are nice, we accept everyone’s point of view. . .but some of those people are real assholes. But hey, *WE BEAT THE COLLEGE REPUBLICANS!* Our campus voted Kerry.
It is okay to hate Jake Duesenberg. It is okay to hate him because he is not a person, but a summation of an ideology. Jake has no thoughts of his own, but thinks whatever the party tells him to. Jake is not a bad person for being a republican, Jake is a bad person because he is the biggest douche bag I have ever met. He is an asshole. He is a hypocrite. He is coward. And for those of us that have had the dismay to have a personal interaction with Jake know all these statements to be truths.
So, stop by my house anytime for a drink (if your 21, of course). We’ve had a great year so far, and the next semester is going to be awesome. We have more work to do. I’m ready. I’m pissed, and fired up. Do not let the douche bags win—as my roommate, Jake Jonker says—peace to all, god bless (any god or no god), and let’s keep on rocking in the free world.
just so you know, Rodli is the polling place for students on campus.
CR's is College Republicans.
The New Voter Project was a effort that was put together to increase the number of voters.
When he says 'we', it is in reference to the College Democrats.
Jake is the co-pres of the CR's and we don't like him.
later yo!

Today, Barb is feeling: so very excited!!!!!!!!!!
so i have my costume narrowed down to 2 options.
one - tornado
gray with little houses and stuff that tornados pick up tied on with string
two - weather report
dark blue bottom, light blue top with cotton balls stuck to it, water bottle with squirter. when people ask what i am, squirt and say, partly cloudy with a chance of showers.
so, now it is just a matter of picking one.
what do you think?
lets see.... there was a reason that i was coming here..... something i had to tell you..... oh yea!
I GET TO GO SEE KERRY!!!!!!
and that is wicked cool! now in the off chance that you might not know who i am talking about, let me clear it up for you. that would be John Kerry. as in the Future president of the USA. just to be clear about that. i had to do some creative time moving around, but it works. and that is all that matters. :-)
and you want to know what is better?
not only i don't have to drive because we are car pooling, so that means less gas and money spent. but get this it is free to go to it.
free, it that not the BEST word in the english language?

Today, Barb is feeling: ok...... should be better, but i'm not.
so yesterday i came home becuase it was the day after moms birthday and we were all going out to dinner together. the other reason that i came home is because Cori's mom wanted to get a GPS. i told her that we could meet at Best Buy and get it together. i ended up not getting out of class on time and then there was traffic and weather. so i got there like half an hour late. i felt so fully bad! and so i couldnt find her. she had just gone ahead and bought one anyway.
but the dinner with mom, dad, joe and kim was fun. we went to Bennigens. weird food, but good. REALLY good baked potato soup.
after that, Joe, kim and i went to the best buy in maplewood to get the Clerks 10th anniverary dvd. then both joe and i went and got gas.
lets see what else have i done lately.......
studied alot. i had a family communication test last week and a marketing test on thursday.
i went and joined the Whole Earths Food Co-op here in town. they have the cheapest milk in the world!! it is a dollar and eighty five cents for a gallon! yea baby!
so get this, apparently Hotmail is expanding their storage in order to compete withe the Gmail from Google. and i went to check my email today and i ususally have like, 78-85 percent of my available storage used, and all i had was one percent used! i was shocked!
http://news.com.com/Hotmail+to+offer+250MB+of+free+storage/2100-1032_3-5245523.html
go there.
it explains alot more.

Today, Barb is feeling: sad :-(
i think i may have scared the annonomous poster away.
:-(
the other reason i am sad is because the 'rents and i were going to go to Olive Garden tonight for dinner (they have the all you can eat pasta for 8 bucks) but last night dad called and told me that they couldn't make it. which works out in a way because i have a bunch of homework that i have to do still since i didn't get it all done last night. but man, would have going there been a fun break from studying!
but i was looking forward to my angel hair pasta with alfredo sause and the italian sauage. yum.
so i think i will have to settle with spaghetti and sause from a can. :-(
maybe i can get cheap meat at the store, right cheap meat, that is like saying healthy candy.
maybe i can OH! i think i have some meat for hamburger helper, i could cook that. and since i do need to go and buy parmesan cheese, i could get some generic alfredo sause,
hummmm, maybe i can substitute some things and still get most of it!.
so that would be spaghetti, alfredo, and meat. i think i could live with that. i would need some vegetable. maybe a side salad.
dang, now i am really really hungry!
after class i am going home and figuring out what i am doing for lunch.
STARVING i am.

Today, Barb is feeling: sorta frustrated.
so i want to know who the person is who is commenting!!!!!!
ok, so do i actually know you?
are you a member of my family? like blood related?
or a friend?
do you go to college with me?
did we used to go to school?
There are few people in the world to be so bold as to post comments on a blog as Anonymous. To do so would surely be a breach of some sort of conduct code. I shall give you 3 hints to the identity of this lone poster who takes advantage of the Anonymous comment feature.
1. They have a first name and a surname.
2. The first and last letters in thier surname is in the alphabet.
3. Thier first name has a quantity of letters between 1 and 10.

Today, Barb is feeling: a bit tired. and old!
so we have all these new Freshmen here.... and i feel so old!
but this is the next post and it is dedicated to Cori!!!!!
so, lets see.
i met cori i would say about 4 years ago or something like that.
she was dating my friend Brett that i had known forever from church.
but right from the getgo i knew i was going to like Cori. she was very cool. and very friendly.
we saw each other here and there whenever a church function would come up and we would hang out together there. then DUN DUM DUM! marrige bells on the forefront!
the wedding of Cori and Brett was announced!
it was a very very cool wedding. my brother joe did the ceremony and it was only like 15 minutes long. it was SO amazing. it waas perfect! then they had a very nice party afterwards. lets see..... from that that i think is when we really started hanging out together on a semi regular basis. we would play games and stuff alot.
that is how i met Cori's friends Tom, Crystal and their beautiful baby Alissa.
since then they have bought a great house that is very nice and perfect for them.
that is also where we always go and hang out and play games and watch tv. they recently got this game, it is like a "Eye Game" or something. it is a camera and you have to stand in one place and move your arms and stuff to make points and do stuff like that. the game that was most played last time i was there was 'Washin Windows'. it is a crazy game. but fun fun fun.
there is alot more about cori that i could tell.
like she and i feel the same way on a lot of political issues.
she is expanding her cooking talents.
she has a job that she doesnt like that much. she grooms dogs and like 2 days ago a dog scratched her cornea. :-( stupid dog!

Today, Barb is feeling: overwhelmed! (and loving it!)
so i know that you can be overwhelmed, and i know you can be underwhelmed. but can you ever just be whelmed?
first person to name that movie and post it will have the next blog devoted to them!
so there has been alot going on.
it is getting to the end of August. that means....
SCHOOL!
but before that, just a recap of things i have done in the month since i have been here.
i went to Duluth and did support for Joe, Kim, Andy, Irene, and Karl on the uni's. unicycles, cokers to be specific. they have really big tires so it is easier going long distances. and mom went with me. humph
once there is was ok. i met Karl. i like Karl. he is nice and available. but joe refuses to tell me how old he is. all i know is that Karl has owned a house for a while. past that, joe says HE IS TO OLD.
old schmold. what if Karl is the one? did joe ever think about that? what does age have to do with anything?!?!?!? i am 21 now. that means a legal adult in all views of society and law. when i asked joe if Karl had a girlfriend, joe said he was going to tell Karl that i wanted to know. i don't think he did. and i wanted him to.
lets see, past that. i work
i play, i eat, i sleep, i wash, i cook, i clean, i go out with the girls.
i don't have that fun of a life right now.
"when im washin' windows"
that is for those who know about it. :-)
i still have it running thru my head.
my cousin Christie is in town, which roX! with a capital x.
she and i are going to hit the town wednesday and spend the better part of the day together. then we get to go and pick up Trevor (her husband, and my kick butt cousin-in-law) at the airport at like 1 in the morning on thursday. it will be fun fun fun! the few times that christie and i do get together and hang out we always have a good time. i wish they lived closer, but NO they get to be beach bunnies out in Cali, oh well! even more of a reason to go and visit them!
so right now i am at River Falls at my cushu campus job. but what? school doesn't start for over a week barb, what are you doing there? you ask yourself. well. i got an email from Deb who wanted to know if i wanted some hours before the training and i jumped on them!
so that is right now.

Today, Barb is feeling: as giddy as a school girl!
so i was on my way here to write and what do i see? but my blog and my blogs alter ego have posted things for me! i just love the fact that my blog talks to me. it is great!
so today is thuirsday.
quick recap of this weeks events.
on saturday night me and a bunch of my friends went to the Drive In.
I invited Ed, but he never called me.
the movies were, I Robot (which is wicked cool!)
Dodgeball (really funny)
The day After Tomorrow (i didn't like it, to many plot holes and the fact that it is a disaster movie)
sunday i slept and didn't go to church.
monday my mom put me to work. and i think i had to go to work too
tuesday my mom was a slave driver and made me work to. NO, tuesday is the day i had to work, not monday.
wednesday i worked at home and went to see Ruth and the dogs that i will be dog sitting for in a week or so. dad also went and got a new convertible. NICE. it is a pretty dark green with a black top. oh yea, joe and i fought too.
today is thursday. i had to work. mom and dad went out for dinner with Grandma. and i think that is about all that happened.
now for this coming weekend,
friday i am going to lunch with Dad and Ed. it will be interesting to see what happens there.
friday night i work, saturday night i work, and i might even be working sunday night. i am not sure yet, i might work for my buddy Tap. (and just so you all know, for some reason we have all started calling one another by our names backwards, so Tap is actuallt Pat. and i am Brab. it is a weird media thing, dont worry)
so that is about all from here.
but i got this thing from my amazing friend Cori and i just needed to have you all look at it!
i have gotten this before, and i just think that everyone should at one point in time, see it and appreciate it.
i call it The Twenty-One Things People Should Know Before They Die.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk t o. As you get older, theirconversational skills will be as Important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all youwant.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreamsdon't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's theonly way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve greatrisk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect forothers; and Responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate stepsto correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it inyour voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

Today, Barb is feeling: well, wondering more. wondering what happened to all the boy bands and members.
so i was watching the MTV all music video channel today and i saw a NSYNCK music video., that got me thinking. what ever happened to all those boy bands that were all the rage a few years ago?
well, there is still Justin, and Nick (with dumb wife Jessica) but what ever happened to the rest of the band mates and all the other boys?
there was like 5 in both NSYNCK and Backstreet boys, and then 98degrees and LFO and i think there are a bunch of them that i am forgetting, but what happened?
lance at one point in time wanted to be an astronoaut, right? and JC put out another CD by himself. but what about the others? there was joey and what was the other ones name? what happened to them? are they trying to get more music together, or are they like flipping burgers at McDonalds because they didn't save thier money. Joey tried to act. he was in MY Big Fat Greek Wedding, and didn't Lance try somemovie about a girl and a subway car?
but you never have heard of them since.
and then the Backstreet boys!
WHEW!
you haven't heard ANYTHING from any of them in a LONG time. i don't even think thatany of them tried a solo career. wait... didn't Nick try it?? so where are those guys?
and then 98 degrees. the sucked to begin with. now you see Nick and his wife jessica ALL over the place! but you never see anyof the other guys.
and LFO. they had one song. summer girls. so i don't think that we can even count them in this.
well, yeah.
i got to have Lunch with Ed today!!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: good.
so i know that i haven't been here in a bit. i am sorry for that.
lets see, what has gone on since i was last here.
mom and dad are home from Saipan.
i am working (little but atleast working)
had a good 4th of July with all my friends at Tom and Crystals.
sorry christie, i haven't seen Farenheit 9-11 yet. i really really want to, but cori and i are supposed to go and see it sometime. i think i need to get on her for that. both cori and i have basically the same political view (as does christie) and so we both want to see the movie. i think i will need to email cori and find out what day she doen't work and go and see the Matinee that day.
BUT!
get this,
so about a week ago, i was working the New Release table in the front of the store. it is right bewteen the doors and where the wireless-PDA stuff is. i was glad to be there becasue then i can talk to my friend Mandy. and there was this guy there for like almost an hour getting his phone set up and taking care of all of it. since he was working with mandy, i was talking with them also. because i didn't have anything to do. both mandy and i were of the same thought, that the man was scrumptous. after he left, mandy told me that he got is phone number. she was excited and so that was good. but the next day, she told me that they talked and he was asking about me, and wanted to know all this stuff about me. sadly mandy didn't know much, because she and i have been working together only like a month. when i heard this, i was confused. i am not a person that people ask about. people always ask me about outher people. so i was confused.
then today she told me that she and the guy had talked again, and again he was asking about me. even said 'she's cute' (in reference to me). again. CONFUSION
i don't think this guy remembers who i am!
but, since mandy and i were talking about hanging out some time outside of work, we exchanged numbers. she also told me that the next time the guy asked about me, she was going to give him my number. so i figured why not! what is there to lose. still not totally sure what will happen if anything, but no worries. i will keep all updated as to anything that occurs. ( i have a feeling that nothing will happen because the guy was GORGEOUS!!!, but why not?!?!)

Today, Barb is feeling: nervous
today i get to go back to the Taste of Minnesota and do security again.
i am nervous.
last year i was there like 4 hours and i sprained my ankle.
i am scared that this year it will happen again.
but my parents wont be there to meet me at the doctors office and take care of me.
this makes me nervous.
so for all you out there in computer land, send me good vibes all day long.
and pray that i keep my feet flat on the ground.
and a work of warning.
i am taking like, 12 phone numbers with me, so if you get a call from me, it means you need to come and get me at my doctors office.
remember,
GOOD VIBES

i am scared that this year it will happen again.
but my parents wont be there to meet me at the doctors office and take care of me.
this makes me nervous.
so for all you out there in computer land, send me good vibes all day long.
and pray that i keep my feet flat on the ground.
and a work of warning.
i am taking like, 12 phone numbers with me, so if you get a call from me, it means you need to come and get me at my doctors office.
remember,
GOOD VIBES

Today, Barb is feeling: tired
so i mowed the lawn today.
it was good to get out and do some good nice hard labor for once in a long while.
i think that i need to start going back to It Figures. i really liked going there and working out and working up a good sweat.
on Friday i get to work at the Taste of Minnesota with Security.
I will NOT sprain my ankle this time.
just in case, i am bringing a list of all possible numbers i could need just in case.
i think that is a good idea.
and if anyone wants to do something Saturday night, i am available. i work in the morning. but only until 10 am.

Today, Barb is feeling: better than yesterday because of 2 things!
and those two things are Chipotle and a shirt
first things first, big ups to Chipotle in woodbury! they gave me a free fajita!
why you ask?
because i had the right space in line and it was taking like20 mins for the people to get the money drawer changed, and so the guy (also the store manager) gave my my fajita for FREE!!!!!!!!!
yea for me and chipotle!
and of course, if it weren't for kristene for taking me to my first chipotle, i would not be here today!
and everytime i eat a fajita, i think of Kristene and Jim.
and the rest of the blog is devoted to, my new shirt! (two new shirts to be exact)
so today was my first day at Best Buy, actually working there.
and i was told to wear a blue polo shirt if i could find one.
no problem i thought.
for those of you who know my dad, you know that he has a major shirt collection. so i figured that i can get a shirt from him and wash it and have it back in his closet before he gets back from Saipan. well i found one. it was perfect! and they were all impressed today that i had a shirt that color and everything. but then, there was this guy Forest. that is his name, Forest. and he was talking to me, (he is totally adorable too!) and waslike,
"we need to get you a real Best Buy shirt. not just a blue one"
and it is amazing what a shirt will do for a persons attitude. i felt like one of the gang and customers talked to me and actually paid attention to me!

Today, Barb is feeling: like jamming a pencil in my nose so i can breathe
i can't breathe thru my nose.
i was able to for a while and it comes and goes, but mostly not.
I got to see where Kim works last night.
She decided to koker (sp???) home from work last night (21 miles) and so she needed to get back and get her car, so i drove her. it was fun. nice kim-barb bonding time. it i hadn't been sick we would have gone and done something! but i decided to come home instead and sleep so i would be good to go for training this morning at Best Buy. and guess what? Kim did an ear thing on me, and i have the beginnings of an ear infection in one ear. i have proof because she printed my report out for me!!!
i was at best buy at 8 am. i was the ONLY one there. apparently there was supposed to be another guy there, but he didnt show up. so i was all alone for training. it was rather boring. i got to watch some weird DVDs that Best Buy makes..... it wasnt' so bad once i found out that i was getting paid for it.
so i offically have a job now. i get to start tomorrow too! from 10 am until 2pm. so mom - i hope you found someone to do the lector for you becaue i won't be at church tomorrow. i will be at work.
someone needs to come and take care of me!

Today, Barb is feeling: like having an alien bore through my brain to make me feel better
i am sick
i am sick and tired and achy
i am sick , tired, achy and just not good in general.
and where are my parents who should be here to take care of me??
they are half way across the world in Saipan with Jim and Kristene.
and i am here at home, sick and alone.
so i called the doctors office and i have an appointment on monday at 10:30 am to see him and see if i need anything or not. in the meantime, i am coughing up, blowing out, and sneezing all over to get the crap out of my body.
i have to be at Best Buy at like, really early tomorrow morning for training. i have a feeling that i will either get like 12 hours of sleep or only like 4 before hand.
its really weird becaues my head is all congested and everything, and so one of my ears is plugged also. so it is like being half deaf. i dont' like it. and i can't plug my nose and open my ears, so it is just another sign that i am sick.
special thanks go out to my cuz Christie. for being the first person to give me a comment. !!!
you made my day cuz!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: hot, sticky and sweaty
so today has been all hot and yucky. i swear it got up to like the 90's or so! i took a shower around noonish, and it is almost like it never happened!
i am dog and house sitting for this lady Ruth, and the dogs get to sleep in the basement where it is nice and cool. if there were a bed down there for me, that is where i would be too.
so yea, i haven't been here in a really long time and i am sorry about that.
i have been busy moving, packing, unpacking, and trying to find a job. but guess what?
i was offered a job at Best Buy! I will be working in the Media section, that is the CDs and DVDs. i am going to call them tomorrow and see what is up. i went and took a drug test on last tuesday, and sence i know that i will pass it, i just need to figure out why they haven't called. the lady at the drug testing center said they would get back to me in 1-3 days. i had to assume that was business days and 3 days would have been friday. so since they didn't call my home or cell today, i am calling them tomorrow.
lets see....
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
great quote from one of the many summer movies that i want to see, Dodgeball - A true underdog story.
so i got to work at the Conventin Center doing security a few days ago, and i got to do security for the john Edwards show thing. he is the guy on tv who communicates with the dead. i got to see him from like about 40 feet away. it was kinda cool. but as i was standing guarding the people, there were these 4 ladies from Iowa who had come up to see him. they were 3 sisters and a sister in law. they were really cool and nice to hang out with and chat with for the 4 hours that we were waiting for the doors to open.
have i mentioned that i have put on like 5 layers of deoterant and it feels like it hasn't helped at all?
but so we were all chatting for the hours and it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
then 2 days later, i was supposed to go back and work, but i didn't. i was in so much pain!
all i wanted was my mommy to make the pain go away! and she did and it did! she wins the prize for best mom in the whole gosh darned world. wanna know why?
she brought me midol. aahhhhh, itsn't she great?
i need to email my uncle rodney again.
for those of you who don't correspond with me,
i have a tedency to write an email to someone that i haven't talked to in a while, and when tthy respond, we will either write back and forth for a while like once a day, or occasionally, but then i will forget who send the last email, and get confused and forget to write another one.
yea, i wish i had a memory like an elephant. i rmemeber reading this book at some point in time, i think it was grade school. i am pretty sure it was either at my elementary or my moms elementaryt that i read this book. it was about these bears who needed to find their plane tickets and so they had this elephant come over and try to help them remember. they got to put on these fake elephant trunks.
- i don't totally remember why that book stands out in my memory, but it does.
so this is long.
and i hot, tired and sweaty, and i think i need a second shower today.
or maybe i will just cover myself in deoterant. i have been contemplating that all day.

Today, Barb is feeling: like i forgot something
so, i have been meaning to post for a while about what like to talk about best. movies and music.
first off Movies.
i want to see Van Helsing.
i saw the movie 30 Days until I'm Famous.
now, when i saw the premise of the movie, it looked like it could be good. but when i finally saw the movie. it was all fluff.
and the ending was crap.
the only good part was Patrick Thomas Flanery
next we have music
i love Modest Mouse.
where have they been all my life?
i heard the new britney spears song. something having to do with angels or wings or something. heaven help me, i liked it!

So if you ever feel bored and want to find an interesting blog, go here
http://tjsplace.blogspot.com/
it is a guy who is the manager at a Strip Club. now you would think, strip club, probably has lots of naked pictures and dirty stories, but the blog is surprisingly clean. granted there are mentions of the dancers, but mostly all in good taste.
i got a call from the mom today. she wanted to know where i was and if i was sober. she thought that it was possible that i have just been drinking since wednesday night since they hadn't heard from me and my blog hadn't changed. but alas, i was just busy working.
she also wanted to know about grades.
i told her that right now i have a 4.0
that is all A's.
and get this, i have 2 grades posted! that is right ladies and genltlemen, I, Barb, have 2 (count them 2) A's in one semester!!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: rather rambunctious!
i am done with my finals.
i just got done with my accounting final.
i have checked my grades twice already in the hopes that one of my profs will have posted a grade for me. no such luck yet.
so most of you know that i am a democrat.
i also, with the help of my dad, printed stop bush shirts
most of you also know that my academic advisor is the college republicans advisor. so today i stopped by his office to tell him the good news about Scotland, and i was wearing my Stop Bush shirt. i had back to my bookbag and grabbed a notebook and held it up over my shirt so he couldn't see it.
iknow that sounds weird. but i didn't want to chance the going to Scotland.!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: TIRED!!!!!!!
so i am tired.
i just got done printing up ALL the information for my speech that i give tomorrow. now the only part is going back and putting what i have into the order that i want to say it in.
it should be good, it is a persuasive speech about why minnesota should make SPAM the state meat.
i think it will be good. not only to give, but to listen to as well.
i try to come up with speeches that people will actually want to listen to. there are some speeches that people don' care about. i try to make them want to care.
so i have decided that in order for me to have a kick butt scotland experience, i need to aqusition a digital camera. i have been wanting one for a very long time, and i think that a semester in Scotland is a good enough, if not an even better reason to get one. now the only problem is getting a job so i can get money to pay for scotland and still have enough to pay for a semester here and rent (rent will not be hard since it will only be like 150 a month, and i make that in half a month, so i won't be totally broke all year long) but so i need to find a job. as of right now, the only thing that i have forsure, is dog sitting. and that is like, only definate 3 days at $35 a day. but i think i will be able to get a few more days out of the year, so that will be cool. tax free!!!!
so this summer i will be living at home, saving as much money as physically possible, and maybe having like 3 jobs.
money may not make you happy, but it will certainly take alot of pressure of your back!
so if anyone wants stuff from scotland, lemme know and i will send ya the bill!!!!!
p.s. if you didn't read my apr. 28th blog, i got accepted to the Wisconsin in Scotland program!!!
so i am tired.

Today, Barb is feeling: GRRRRRREAT!
so i lied. i am tired too.
so this is my blog. so i can do whatever i want with it.
so today i am going political.
as i am sitting here at the Info Desk, all i see is the College Republicans table for Pro Life.
Now, I will admit that i am generally pro-choice. a womens body should be her's to do with what she chooses. but i wlil say this, for those women who use abortions as a form of birth control. that i don't agree with. so when it comes to this issue, i will admit that i am a fence sitter.
the other thing that i see sitting at the info desk is a sign, made by my great pal Kendra. it says,
Prevent Unwanted Presidencies, Practise safe Voting. i LOVE it! it was made by the Advocates for Choice that are a new group on campus that Kendra started. it is a great group, but sadly i can't make it to the meetings this semester, so maybe next semester if i can manage the time aspects of it.
ok, next political time is here
i am lucky enough to have a great dad who prints tshirts. and he does buttons, remember these, you will be tested on them later.
but so we (being me and Phil) wanted Stop Bush shirts. black shirts with white ink. they are great. there are so many people who want them! i sold one to Deb the reservation lady, and she loves it and i sold a bunch more to all sorts of different people. and so we are getting them. but on Wednesday night we have this tv show called, RF Live and Phil and the band he is in, Soundtrack to a Shipwreck
www.soundtrack-to-a-shipwreck.com
were going to be playing at the show and he wanted a shirt to have so he could wear it on the show. i got there just as they were playing their first song but after they were done, i threw the shirt to phil so he could wear it. and then on the next song that they started with, all they had at the beginning was a close up of the Stop Bush with the beginning guitar riffs in the background! it was beautiful!!!!!! i almost wanted to cry. but the next song is my favorite so i was to busy singing along to be emotional.
and then! the College Republicans showed up! it was like perfect. me, amanda, jane and a few others who were there for the boys, saw them and we are just started laughing! it was funny, because they all come in together, most of them sporting the CR shirts, and with the Bush/Chenney signs. and then Jake, who i dont like and is the new UW College Republican chair, gets on and starts talking about what the CR's do and everything.
did you know that our current president can run 3 miles in only 23 minutes?
that is one thing that jake said. it is funny because now everytime Jane or i see each other we always ask each other if we know how fast our president can run 3 miles.
its just one of those funny things
so i lied. i am tired too.
so this is my blog. so i can do whatever i want with it.
so today i am going political.
as i am sitting here at the Info Desk, all i see is the College Republicans table for Pro Life.
Now, I will admit that i am generally pro-choice. a womens body should be her's to do with what she chooses. but i wlil say this, for those women who use abortions as a form of birth control. that i don't agree with. so when it comes to this issue, i will admit that i am a fence sitter.
the other thing that i see sitting at the info desk is a sign, made by my great pal Kendra. it says,
Prevent Unwanted Presidencies, Practise safe Voting. i LOVE it! it was made by the Advocates for Choice that are a new group on campus that Kendra started. it is a great group, but sadly i can't make it to the meetings this semester, so maybe next semester if i can manage the time aspects of it.

Today, Barb is feeling: good still...
so i just read my cousin Christie's blog today. i haven't been able to read it for a while so it was interesting.
she vents about getting an church/christian related email from someone.
now, i know that she is an atheist. and that is her life. and as long as it doen'st interfere with my life, i am ok with what she does. or with what she doesn't do, i guess.
and i somewhat understand her theory of not wanting to get all these emails from people.
because i come from a christian/lutheran background, most people would think that me not trying to convert/help/turn her whatever you would want to call it, is againt my religion. now maybe i agree with that, maybe i don't. i am not sure. i don't know. i haven't formed an opinon on that yet.
now, if she didn't know they basis of religions and she didn't know where christians/lutherans come from, maybe i would inform her, let her know what my beliefs are and stuff like that, but i don't think that i would try to convert her.

Today, Barb is feeling:like this monday is really a sunday
i dont' know why i feel like that.
my sleep schedule has been off these last few days, i think that is why i feel all weird and twisted up inside.
last thursday i was busy! i had Take Back the Night. and a test. the test was just a business ethics test and it wasn't hard, it is just straight regurgatation. and i studied for it wednesday night and so i was totally prepared for it. i think i did really good at it.
i havent' been here to blog in a while. i blame my damned classes for that.
so as of right now, i am getting an A in Business Comm. a B in Business Ethics, (which i think i will be able to pull up to an A with this test and the final) and C in Business Calc. and i am on the verge of a C/D with Accounting. i can do a C in accting if i do really good on the final.... and by really good it woudl be like a B on the final. which i think i might be able to pull off with the right amount of studying.
and i turned my application in for Wisconsin In Scotland. and i was put on the waiting list. so i wonder how long i will have to wait to see if i get to go to Scotland.

i would rather be with my mom and dad. they are at my second cousins Reeds place. (its freaking awesome! like we could have our own little world on his compound. it is huge and cool too! plus his family is fun!)
but no, i am here. working being bored and missing out on seeing the family.
but i did get to go to church.
i actually woke up early and went to the 8:30 service. well so i got there like 15 mins late, so i stayed for the first 15 mins of the 10:45 service to equal it out.
and all the jokes that i posted over the last few days, i have gotten those from my aunt becca. thanks!
so the day before Easter was SPECTACULAR!!!
i got to go and see Rent!!!!
musical in the Ordway and it was fabulous! i loved it!
when it ended, i just wanted to sit there and make them do it all over again, and again, and again, and again!
but i am excited because my friend Angie, who i went with, has the soundtrack and is going to let me borrow it and burn it!! so i can sing all the songs!
and if you ever have a chance to go and see it, TAKE IT!

Today, Barb is feeling: wicked cool!
Good... Better... Best--Funny!!
GOOD
Madison, WI policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem - a 12-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in La Crosse, WI. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As Wisconsin State Trooper Officer walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball. "He replied, "Wisconsin State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

Little Johnny watched the science teacher start the experiment with
the worms.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a jar of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a jar of sperm.
The fourth worm was put into a jar of soil.
After one day, these were the results:
The first worm in alcohol - dead.
Second worm in cigarette smoke - dead.
Third worm in sperm - dead.
Fourth worm in soil - alive.
So the Science teacher asked the class - "What can you learn from
this experiment."
Little Johnny quickly raised his hand and said
"As long as you drink, smoke and have sex, you won't have worms."

Compliments of my Aunt Becca!

i got to see chad. i love chad. he is totally adorable! he was a on his way to being gone and when he saw me arrive at the party, he screamed "BARB!!! Barb is the shit!!! BARBS HERE!!!! " needless to say, that should be how everyone is welcomed to a party. i was so happy to see chad there! he and his friends from Becker / Clear Lake were here becaue they are going to some country concert in the cities today. brad paisley i think it was.
but his friends were cute and adorable too! it was Joe and Dustin. aaahhhh last night was very fun.

Today, Barb is feeling: DETERMINED!!!!!!!!
ok, so i didnt get the Conference and Events Staff Position that i wanted.
that is ok. it is life. i will role with the punches and get another job.
now i can focus on my RKK job. but i don't know about that one either.
i will focus on studying first. I can prolly still get a job at the Sportsmans Guide, or maybe there is some other place like that i could work at. hmmmm
maybe i will just have to pull some strings and see if i can do any digging about the number of positions available... maybe jenni will help me, maybe even brenda. im not sure. but i will find something to do this summer!

Today, Barb is feeling: a blit better now that she has vented.
but i worry about what i will do if i don't have a job. i don't know where else to apply and i need to start thinking about it right now!
i applied in RKK, but i won't know until like, the middle of april.
"To let you know, we will not be in a position to schedule interviews for our Paraprofessional positions until mid to late April. We are currently concluding our registration. We will then determine how many para positions we will need. Positions are then offered internally and then we consider returning staff. Once this process concludes, we will be in a better position to know how many new staff we will hire for this summer."
But i gotta think, maybe i will get it....
I did work a summer with them already. And i actually worked one-on-one with a kid with special needs. it was hard, but good none the less. and i really want the job! granted i will be like broke the first month because it takes like 2 weeks before you get paid and then it takes another week for the money to get to me. and so like the first month i will have no money and that will be very very bad.
i am starting to get stressed out and that is not good.

so i applied for a position with the Conference and Events people over the summer, and i didn't get it!!!!
damnit! damnit! damnit!!!!
and i was the perfect interviewer!
i was dressed up,
i amswered all the questions they had,
i asked some of my own questions,
when they asked me different stuff, i had good answers,
WAAAAAAAAAAAA!
but maybe then i will get my para professional job with Rainbow Kids Klub and that way i can take a few summer classes while i work and that way i will be able to graduate in less time!
then i might be able to even go to scotland!
oh i hope i get the job with RKK now.....
perfect summer would be this
- Working with RKK doing the summer para professional job where i would work in the mornings
- Being able to take a few summer classes in the evenings
- Finding a cheap place to live over the summer with molly
- Having my own room and not having to pay over 250 a month
right now for rent i pay about 220 a month and that includes everything.
except phone, which is my moms cell phone and she pays for that. (because she loves me and needs to get a hold of me! ) but for that extra 30 dollars a month i would gladly pay for my own room!

Today, Barb is feeling: better than she has in the past few days.
so i have finally gotten to the point where i can talk about Ann (my former chancellor, read back a few blogs and you will know all about her) and not burst into tears and so i think that is a good thing.
but i have a sore throat. my mom says it might not be because i am sick, but because i have been crying all the time which i can totally see happening.
now my sore throat is starting to feel better, but i am not sure if it is because of the cough drops, or the vitamin C or not crying. but now i have a canker sore. atleast i think it is a canker sore. it fits all the descriptions of a canker sore and they say that stress will cause them and that women are 50% more likely to get them than men. but so my canker sore hurts and that means i am in pain also. so what i did was stuck a fruit snack in the bottom of my lip where the canker sore is so i don't run my tounge over it and cause it pain.
i am at work right now and bored out of my mind. Neng said that he might come over and visit and burn some CDs for me!!!!! whee to neng!
i also took some tyenol for the canker sore.

Today, Barb is feeling: like a very small peice of a much bigger puzzle that she doesn't know how to solve.
i like my daily, 'barb is feeling'
it sets the mood for the coming blog so you know wat to expect.
The World Has Turned and Left Me Here --- Weezer
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face

i want this tragedy to have never happened
i want ann to still be alive.
i want my chancellor back!!!!!!!!!

such a shitty day.
there is nothing that compares to this day on the shit-o-meter
so today at about 10 am this morning, i found out that my Chancellor died. she was in a car accident at 6:40 this morning and she died. Ann Lydecker is now dead.
We no longer have a chancellor.
Ann Lydecker was killed in a car accident.
i keep saying it to myself but it feels so weird, almost like i still expect to see her walking through the campus. she was so nice. she was a great inspiration to all of us students on campus.
she actually knew my name. every friday she would walk past the information desk and say happy friday barb, and ask how my week was. the chancellor of my college knew who i was. she knew me by name, and now she is dead.
it is like a bad dream. and all the people around me don't understand why i feel like this. they are all happy and in a good mood and i just want to scream at them, "FUCKERS!!!! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TODAY? ANN DIED! SHE CARED MORE ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION THAN YOU'LL EVEN KNOW!!!!!!"
Ann Lydecked died today.
She will have a visitation on Monday.
She will be buried on Tuesday.
Ann Lydecker, first woman Chancellor of River Falls, died today. And buried with her will be a peice of my heart.

Today, Barb is feeling: the burn!
went to It Figures last night, and can i just say, I LOVE IT!
it is so much damn fun! Teresa and I decided to go three times a week at 4:30 each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We are going during those times every week and the rest of the world will just have to revolve around us!
i think i am over Disney now,
but now i have to start looking for a place to live next year.....
I am not sure if i want to do in the dorms.... or the apartment again. it makes it hard when I dont have people who are looking to have a roommate. all the people i know already have roommates for the coming semester
so if, anyone out there in River Falls needs a roommate... PICK ME PICK ME!

Today, Barb is feeling: rather confused about life in general
So I talked to my mom today about Disney.
Apparently since she is a teacher I am covered in Family Health Insurance and so she really doesn't pay for my insurance, but if i were to go to Disney, it would be $200 a month just in case, for the insurance.
So needless to say, that Disney is out of the question as of right now. Well, that would prolly be forever since i don't think i will be able to do it unless I am a student and i won't be a full time student if i am down there, and so the conclusion is
no disney.
i didn't realize how excited i was actually about Disney until the whole thing had the final kabosh on it. it was weird. like my chest expanded and contracted at the same time and i got really sad.
needless to say, i didn't really think that not being able to go would make me so sad.
well, it is the perfect day because i get to go and work out and then i teach piano and then i get to go to Olive Garden with Erin and that will be fun to catch up with her for a while.
it was kinda cute though, my mom was talking to my dad on the phone and to me online, and she said,
"Just so you know, Dad and I talked about all the different possibilites. You going with no insurance was not one of them. Just keep your eyes and ears open for the next option. We are not trying to ground you."
isn't my mom cute?!?!?
i think so atleast. so maybe i should start looking at the different stuff we have around here. i know that i could like go to Scottland, sometime... or maybe take a semester and go to like New Zealand. For a small school, we have a good number of things that I might be able to do.
later yo!

Today, Barb is feeling: like her eye lids are going to end up super glued to the bottom of her eye lashes.
in other words, barb is tired.
so i might be going down to Disney for the equivalent of a semester, but i am not sure yet.
my mom needs to talk to the insurance people, since i would not be a full time student and since i am over 21 now. so that means that i would not have health insurance, and that would be BAD. so that is what is going on that front.
i felt so smart in accounting today! i knew like all the answers to all the stuff that she was going over for the first time and i felt so good about myself! maybe, just maybe, there is something to this studying thing that i have heard so much about!
lets see...... what else is going on?
Take Back the Night is coming soon! and there will be more about that in the near future. jsut so ya all know!
i will be back tomorrow sometime....
i have plans for tomorrow now! im excited!!!!!!
after my Business Ethics class, i get to go and see my Little Sister Kayla, and then i have math class
and then at 4:30 i get to go to It Figures with Teresa,
and then after i teach her piano for half an hour,
and then i get to go out to dinner with Erin!!!! who i haven't seen in FOREVER!
and then i will be stopping at home to get my pants that i forgot at home. and then heading back to the ole' RF
SWEETNESS

The New Axis of Evil: Gays, Pets and Furniture
"Does that mean you have to allow a man to marry his pet or a man to marry his chair?"
—The Honorable Jon Bruning, Attorney General of Nebraska, regarding marriage equality
Does removing legal barriers to spouses of the same sex really put us on a slippery slope to pet and chair marriage? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as fond of a slippery slope as the next dyke.
But I don’t buy marriage equality being the slip ’n’ slide to hell.
Still, I could see marrying my cat.
We have a fulfilling, egalitarian relationship, even though I’m a lot older and have opposable thumbs.
I adore her, and the feeling is mutual.
She cuddles me. She touches her nose to mine. She leaves her regurgitated kibble exactly where my foot will land when I step out of bed.
The cat is into me.
I wouldn’t have a problem with marrying my chair either.
My favorite chair never lets me down. It’s accommodating yet independent enough to stand on its own four legs.
My chair has comforted and sustained me through many a trying time.
It unselfishly shares its collected spare change and popcorn kernels. My chair accepts me for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, good times and bad, happy and sad.
I trust my chair will support and honor me as long as we both shall live.
If the slippery slope leads to chair-marrying, go ahead and sign me up.
Not that the chair is eligible for much in the way of retirement benefits or social security, or that a floral recliner would be especially judicious if it ever had to oversee my estate.
But were I to wind up in the emergency room, say, I wouldn’t mind opening my eyes to the soothing sight of my beloved chair.
If we are on a slippery slope for real, and marriage equality is really a crazy wild ride into chaos and eventually polygamy—as constitutional amendment supporters predict—I can state unequivocally, I would be willing to marry both my cat and my chair.
If it comes down to the law allowing me to marry the woman I’ve been sharing a bed with for sixteen years and jump the broom with my cat (she’s a good jumper!) and get hitched to my chair (it’s stable!), I’m certain my cat and my chair would be fine with that.
All three objects of my affection accept my multiple devotion, and they are only rarely just a teensy bit jealous when one gets more attention than the other (except my chair -- never jealous!)
So what’s the hullabaloo?
Homos aren’t all that scary anymore. Years of exposure from the likes of Ellen and the Queer Eye guys and all of us coming out have made an impact.
These days most people tend to like us. Regular folks aren’t feeling threatened the way they did back when they believed we were recruiting their children and doing all the other icky things the OCA said in the voters’ pamphlet.
Apparently marriage between loving same-sex partners doesn’t engender enough panic in the public. To get folks seriously lathered up, now the bigots have to throw in the cat, too (she doesn’t like being thrown), and the poor chair.
As if marrying a pet or a chair is some deep-seated nightmare -- the looming terror people will do anything to avoid, even vote to amend the constitution.
A cat in a bridal veil. A chair in a tux. Ooooh! The new Axis of Evil.
Did we think we’d ever see the day when affection for pets and chairs would rattle the public cage more than two sissyfaggots or two bulldaggers dropping out of the patriarchal paradigm to make it with each other? We have come a long way, baby!

I got this in an email from chirstie and i just LOVE it!
A teacher in a small Texas town asks her class how many of them are
Bush fans.
Not really knowing what a Bush fan is, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy, Johnny. The teacher
asks Johnny why he has decided to be different.
Johnny says, "I'm not a Bush fan."
The teacher says, "Why aren't you a Bush fan?"
Johnny says, "I'm a John Kerry fan."
The teacher asks why he's a John Kerry fan.
The boy says, "Well, my mom's a John Kerry fan, and my dad's a John Kerry
fan, so I'm a John Kerry fan!"
The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Texas, so she says, "What
if you're mom was a moron and you're dad was an idiot, what would that
make you?"
Johnny says, "That would make me a Bush fan!"

I am not a pretty girl,
that is not what I do.
I ain't no damsel in distress,
and I don't need to be rescued.
So, so put me down punk.
Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair?
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
I am not an angry girl,
but it seems like I've got everyone fooled.
Every time I say something they find hard to hear,
they chalk it up to my anger,
and never to their own fear.
Imagine you're a girl,
just trying to finally come clean,
knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty...
and smiling.
And I am sorry,
but I am not a maiden fair,
and I am not a kitten, stuck up a tree somewhere.
Generally my generation
would never be caught dead working for the man.
And generally I agree with them,
trouble is you got to find yourself an alternate plan.
And I have earned my disallusionment,
I have been working
all of my life.
And I am a patriot.
I have been fighting the good fight.
And what if there are no damsels in distress?
What if I knew that, and I called your bluff?
Don't you think every kitten
figures out how to get down,
whether or not you ever show up?
I am not a pretty girl.
Don't really want to be a pretty girl.

ok, so as you can tell i am not a big fan of Republicans. i would not go as far as saying that i hate them, becsaue my parents taught me not to hate people. so i am not a big fan. and i just found out something that distrubs me. my academic advisor is Mr Brian Huffman. the College Republicans advisor is Mr. Brian Huffman
we share the same advisor
i think i need to find a new advisor ever more now!!!!!!!

my cousin Christie rocks! (for reasoning why, see previos blog)
and if you want to get a small trip into her and Trevors (but mostly Christie's) psyche go here
http://www.christie-trevor.blogspot.com/
that is her Blog, i belivve that i have it somewhere previous, but just another reminder!
she and i have most of the same thoughts about subjects. i think the only subject we really differentiate from is about religion. but other than that, i think we hold most of the same morals and values. that is why i love her so damn much even though we almost never see each other because she lives around San Diego.... or somewhere near there at least.
alright, so i have great respect for people who will stand up for thier beliefs, and normally that would also extend to Republicans, but the college republicans are startin to piss me off. just at sitting at the Info Desk i can see posters for them, "The Collgeg Republicans encourage everyone to see The Passion of the Christ." "The College Republicans would like to congradulate the mens basketball team on a great season." "the College Repubilcans would like to thank the Falcons Hockey for the great season." for those of you who don't know, the college republicans are also put together the Campus WatchDogs. and with the signs, i think they are trying to get people to like them. almost liekk they are trying to 'buy' people by saying, hey look at us, we like these just like you do! and it is making me mad!!!!!

hey hey all!
so it is like, 8:30 in the mornign and i am super tired!
but i have good news.......
GRADES!
so, i took my Business Ethics test and guess what i got?
a B! it was actually an 88% but if i would have included one more example i would have gotten an A! but i will next time.
and then there was the Math Test,
that is Business Calc and i hate math, but guess what i got?
another B!!!!! that was an 80% but it still counts as a B!
and then accounting.
not so good.when i had accoutning before, it was the ledgers and jounal entries that really got me, but so i studied extra hard on those and did well on those, but i didn't do so good on the multiple choise.
so i got a 67% that is a D, but i can only go up from here in that class! and now that i know she likes the multiple choise, i can study more for those in the coming test.
and then there is my Business and Proffesional Communications class (speech), we haven't done anything in there grade worthy yet, so i guess i don't really have agrade for that yet.
that is all that is going on for me as of now....
other things of note,
my parents are leaving me and going to Cancun.
Joe will be "in charge" of me while they are gone.
The weekend they get back, I am going to my Building Unity Conference in Milwalkee (sorry for spelling)
and inbetween that, i have classes, tests, and studiny and working to keep me occupied!

Bob, Grant and I decided that we are going to be the Stool Gang. We are going to walk around with our wooden stools and sit down when we want to, and start snapping our fingers like the Jets. That is "When-your-a jet" Jet, not the "Are-you-going-to-be-my-girl" Jet.
so i got to hang out with Grant and Bob. it was fun.
and after that and school and junk, i went to the Apt. adn took a nap!
naps are the greatest invention since sliced bread~! i love them so darn much! so i took and nap and after that i ran to the public library and picked up some new books to read! aaahhh trashy-romance novels! (my secret passion)
so i am sitting here at work now and getting ready to start reading a new one!
wheeeee for meeeee!

hive-free and gettin revved up for the weekend to come!
i took a math test on Thursday, and i think i did well!
i had been study like crazy, and i think it all paid off. finally... a semi maybe good start to the math-hating-year. but then again, all my years are math hating years.
so this weekend i was supposed to go to a General Assembly with Senate, but yea that is not going to happen. it has started snowing like crazy, and guess what? i would be the only one going and the campus it is at, is like, 35 mins away from Illinois. (down in the coner past Madison). so i am not sure what i am going to do tonight. tomorrow night i have plans with my friends to hang out, but tongiht, maybe i will see if i can get my work schedule back for tonight.

well, i now realize why i was having such a bad night monday night!
Tuesday morning, i wake up and i have red, itchy, patches of skin on me.....
HIVES!
so i took some Benadryl and took a cold shower, and put some liqiud benadryl on them and went to sleep. if they weren't a little better come the evening/morning (whenever i woke up) i was going to call my mom or dad and get some advice. but since this has happened before, the only thing that has ever worked, has been Benadryl. so i took abunch of it, slept, and although i still have some hive sploches, i don't itch as much anymore. so that is good.
and they aren't raised up like there were also.
so that is good. and other than the fact that i am hungry, all is semi well in my world.

so yeah, i am still here and i guess i c an't get away.
my got a littel better.
i decided to look back at some of my older Blog's and i realized that i have had my blog for almost a year!
but i would suggest looking back at some of my older blogs and refresh your self with the most important subject in the world... ME!
there is one blog in there about me having a good convo with my mom about me and the lack of boys, and apparently she told me that i was amazing or wonderful or soemthing like that.... granted i know that, but it is nice to hear it everyonce ina while!

so my day has sorta gone down hill.
i haven't been back to the Apt. since like, oh 9:45 this morning and so that in of itself is crappy, but now with my meeting that was supposed to have just like fell apart in a matter of minutes.
and there was the confersation that happened and it wasn't the best.......
let me just say there was a man involved and he said the opposite of what i thought he would have and so that dissapointed me, but then again you would think that I would be used to dissapointment. meh
and now all i want to do is go back home and study, but i need to wait for Teresa so we can talk about the meeting that didn't happen. AAARRRRGGGGGGG
and the AOL-IM is not liking me and will only let me be online for like a total of 5 minutes before it boots me off.
and i think that is really damn stupid!
and i am starting to get agitated.
and so because of all this i think i am just going to leave Teresa a message and go home!
i hope that studying one of my fav subjects will lift my spirts since i have a test tomorrow in it!
the test i am not to worried about.... i guess he just wants straight regurgitation so i think i can do that.
i hope you have a better night than i am

so the good mood of last night is pretty much gone.
but i am still doing good, mainly because last ngiht i got to hang out with my friends.
but today is valentines day.
i dont like Valentines Day.
it makes to wonder how many more valentines days i will see without a significant other.
but in all reality, i think the reason that im in a not the greatest mood, is because i have to go to work tonight. and i would SO much rather just stay here at home and chill with my babies and watch tv and read and sleep, and just do nothing. but atleast i will be able to get some homework done tonight.
so last night when i came home, my mom gave me my Valentines present, which consisted of 4 new dress shirts.
one is black , one is white, one is like this light sea green color. and the one the i LOVE the best, it is like lights green with white stripes and gray stripes, and i totally dig it! i look hot in it!

so it is the day before Valentines Day, as as of right now, i am in a good mood. i wonder how long that will actually last. I'm pretty sure it will last at least through the day becuase i am going home today and then i get to go and see Brett and Cori and hang out with them and play games andwe all just sit around and laugh our asses off!!! that is why I LOVE getting together with them, because we just sit around and have a good time.
i think the reason i am in such a good mood might be because of Q......? ;-)
two things to talk about
first the movie PCU
i just have to say that i love this movie. the pre-frosh, the parties, George Clinton and the Parliment-Funkadelic....
ahhh if college were really like that!
"Pigman is trying to prove the Cain-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Cain or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV."
that is possibly one of my fav quotes from the movie.
so yea, PCU is a good movie.
next thing, i just saw this happen.
at College here, we have a sorrity called Sigma Sigma Sigma, or the Tri-Sig's
for those of you who know the greek alphabet, it is the sigma symbol, which for you math geeks is the sum symbol. so there were these kids walking around and they saw a sign with the Sigma Sigma Sigma, and they said and i quote,
:hey look! sum sum sum!"
for some reason that struck me as not only being extremely funny, but also extremely dorky... so go figure!
but yeah!
for those of you who want to see a full article about me and my Vagina Monologues, go here

so the resignation from senate was good.
people liked my note for them, and i was in the paper again!!!!!
YEAH VAGINA MONOLOGUES!!!!!!!!
i was in the paper with the Vagina mOnologues, i just want to put a quote in here...
" "I know there will be some people who will be heistant with the Vagina Monologues. People think, "Oh my gosh, it has the word vagina in it" said Barb director and producer. But the word vagina didn't seem to bother to many people on Thursday night. The monologues delivered a variety of emotions to the audience. Some dealt with humerous issies about what your vagina would say if it coudl talk, while other monologues gave testimonies of rape and abuse. The preformance celecrated women's sexuality and strength and exposed violence endured by women throughout the world"
that is the writter of the article, Anne, she is amazing!
and a friend of mine, John Gavin was quoted and this is his quote
"I thought it was excellent because it was funny and serious. It looked inside the violence of women and opened my eyes"
that from johnny boy!
i was so proud when i read the paper
i would suggest for my buds on campus, get a paper, and for my rent's, I will bring like, 5 copoes home!
