MY WEEKEND

so, i spent another weekend with my love. ;)

he had to work, so uncle rusty and his girlfriend pat picked me up at the train station and then we went to the olive garden and had soup and salad. yael would be proud of me. ;)

on friday, we went to school and i had another egg sandwich. dang, i can't get enough of those. anyways, we ate at arby's after class was over and this time they didn't take my student advantage card. i think the guy thought it was a credit card. i couldn't understand what he said. my love had to work friday night too, so i watched television and worked on some of my reading and homework.

saturday came along and my love had to work.

sunday rolled around and guess what? my love didn't have to work. ;) we went to church with uncle rusty and then to lunch at mimi's. i had soup (corn chowder) and half a ceasar salad. again, yael would be proud.

this morning, we went to school and i didn't get an egg sandwich. :( instead, i got some beef stroganoff (sp?) over steamed rice. my love got out of class early, so we went to kfc/a&w. then, uncle rusty took me to the train station since my lov had to work again.

the train was 20 minutes late, the oakland train was 30 minutes late, so our bus had to wait for it, and then there was only one bus so we had to go to napa as well, which took even longer. all i wanted was to be back and go to sleep. i read some in the bus and then took a short nap.

kevin hooked his scanner up to my computer and i scanned most of the photos that i had with me. i will be adding those to my yahoo photos page soon. some might go up on my website as well, so be watching for them there, as well.

well, i can't remember what else i was going to add, so i guess it's about time to go lay down...


wait! i just remember what i was going to add...

my sister's train going back to sacramento from corcoran hit a person and they were delayed.

mom got a ticket for going like 13 miles over the speed limit. it was her first ticket in 50 years. the officer was quite impressed over that. however, she still got the ticket. she thought the speed limit was 65, but it was 55 and even told him when he asked her. dang, poor mom. no one ever goes 55 on that road.

WHAT?!?

so, i know y'all must be wondering, what's she doing at her computer at this time? why isn't she in class right now? well, we had our osteology quiz, which yes, i did study for it, but let's just say i didn't study everything i needed to... umm... some of it was easy, some of it was hard. i guessed on some and hey, i think i got some of them right that i guessed on. yay for guessing! plus, some of my wrong answers at least can be some entertainment for my prof. ;)

so, i gathered up enough courage to finally ask my prof what the anthro club does (she's the advisor). they meet every other thursday in the classroom next door and they're meeting next thursday, so i'm going to go and find out all about it. she said usually they plan a field trip each year and some other stuff that i don't remember. anyways, i told her that i was in the anthro club at my community college and that it was a great club. she said that maybe i could bring in some new ideas. :) wow! so, once i get my anthro club shirt (when i go home next weekend), i'll have to wear it to show my spirit. ;)

UPDATES!

okay, for those of you who haven't been keeping up with my latest updates, check them out! i've updated my yahoo photos and you can see them HERE. also, i've been working on my website, so check it out HERE!

finally, i'm thinking about selling duct tape wallets and anti-dolphin shirts. you can find more about this on my website. right now i'm thinking about $5 for the duct tape wallets, $6 for color ones. please feel free to let me know what you think.

AGH! BANK

so, i went by the atm machine today and couldn't pull out the money to pay for my housing ($299), and so i went to pay it with my card. however, it didn't go through. dumb card!!! i guess i only have a certain amount available (a little over $100), even though i just deposited two $1000 checks a couple of days ago. whatever! it's my money and i want access to it! if the amount available never goes over $200, i'm going to have to get me an account elsewhere. i still don't have any checks yet, since i can't make it to a bank, and i'm going to have some rather large payments for school next sememster.

so, i went by the bookstore to pick up a mug for uncle rusty, since he drinks coffee. my love said i should get him the sonoma state grandpa mug, since he thinks of me like a granddaughter, but they didn't have any. they had mom, dad, and even grandma... so i just got him a sonoma state mug. they had a grand opening of "the seawolf shop" even though it's been open since i've been here and is just the bookstore. so that didn't make much sense. then, i stopped by the commons to get something to eat. it was my first time there and hey, not only do they have burgers and sanwiches, but they also have salad and the best thing of all, chinese food! i didn't feel much like chinese food, so i got a grab n go burger and fries. all for only $2.75! can you believe it? that's the best price ever! i'll have to go back. i'm already full and i've only eaten about half the food.

well, i'm excited cause i get to see my love tomorrow. i can't wait. i've misseded him so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA

today is nana's birthday. she's old. i don't remember if she said she was going to be 72, or if she was and she turned 73 today. still, that's old. she's in good shape though. so good for nana. i haven't seen her in a while, but hopefully she'll come out to the relay and i'll get to see her then, even though she said she wouldn't jump in the bounce house with me. :(

well, have a happy birthday, nana. thanks for everything. ;) love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS, OR SHOULD I SAY JULIE J. SCOTT?

yep, today is my sister's birthday. she's 22 now, same age as me. i guess she didn't really have plans for her birthday. something about her friends all hating each other. ...and i thought my friends all hated each other. plus, when i called her, she was on her way to class... anyways, happy birthday julie. i hope your day was super.

REORDER

i reordered my social psy book. not only was it more expensive, but i had it shipped more expensively so it would get here sooner. it should be shipped out by wednesday and get here on or before the end of the month. i hope it gets here soon. meanwhile, i have that old text that victor let me borrow...

godspeed, textbook, godspeed.

MAIL DOES COME! :-D

so, i finally took the $1 check that i got when i opened up my account and deposited it in the atm. then, i went over to the tables outside of charlie brown's and sat there and read until laura came at 3 to interview me. she just needed some background information, like my name, age (which i did remember), siblings, and whatnot. mostly we just talked for about an hour and a half. and laura, if you're reading this, congratulations, you found my blog. ;) on the way back, i checked my mail and when i opened up my box, i had a whole bunch of envelopes in there. i had another blue ticket, but this time it was for a vegan packet i had sent away from (thanks to angelica), so on my way to the post office to pick it up, i looked through my other mail. i received my two scholarships, so now i can afford the rest of my housing payment and i'm not poor anymore. i received my apple bill, and the best thing of all, a card from my love. :D my love even sent me some money so i could come see him. yayayay! i get to see my love this weekend and now i have money to go see him next month as well!!! :D

i'm hungry and now i can actually afford to eat something! ;)

MY LOVE'S NEW JOB

that's right, you heard correctly, my love just started his job at longs today at 10am. he was supposed to get off at 2, but i guess they're short people and asked him to stay till 7. so that'll be good for his paycheck.

it's been raining off and on today so far. the sun is out now, but who knows, in a minute, it could be pouring again.

yay! i get to go see my love next weekend. i misseded him so much this weekend. i can't go another weekend without seeing him. i can't wait.

NO BOOK, BUT REFUND, LUNCH, PHONE CALLS

so, i received an email from the sender of the social psy book i ordered through amazon.com. she gave me a refund through amazon and i'm supposed to let her know if i ever receive the book. the only thing is, i still need a book, so maybe a miracle will happen and it'll come in the mail on monday. that or maybe my scholarship will come and i can get a new book.

wendy and i went to ihop for a late breakfast today. it was lunchtime, but we both got breakfast. it was nice getting out of the apartment for a while. i'm glad we went, even though i can't do stuff like this often.

i talked to alex last night. i gave him a call because it was his birthday and then was on the phone for over 40 minutes catching up with him. afterward, wendy and i ate a yummy vegetarian tater pot pie she made and watched runaway bride.

today i talked to dad, johnny, and nana. i hadn't talked to any of them in a while, so it was good to talk to them again.

well, now wendy, my love (even though he's not here with me:(), and i are watching cold case files cause we do everything together. that's right, we're a triple. ;)

29th San Francisco International Comedy Competition

i forgot to add this to my last posting, but last night, wendy and i went to the 29th annual san francisco international comedy competition at person theater here at ssu. it was free to us students, while general admission was $10. i think we got a pretty good deal, seeing that at some of the places they're performing, it costs up to $35. the runner up from last year was the host, and i still think that he's the funniest one. there were 15 comedians who each got 5-7 minutes to do their stand-up routine. then, the top five were chosen. it was a good, funny show, but it was three long hours, so we didn't get back until around 11pm. if you would like to find out more information or see where they'll be next, you can check it out here.

WAITING FOR MY BOOK

that's right, i'm still waiting on my book. it was supposed to be here by today at the latest, and of course it wasn't, so i emailed the sender telling them i still have not received my book yet. if it doesn't come by monday, then i can go sign up to be reimbursed. i hope it doesn't come to that though cause then i'm still going to need a book. that's another week or two for delivery for another book. anyways, maybe i'll just go leave the sender a very very bad rating. i mean, how freakin' long does it take if you mail it out on time? come on, it's not that hard to do.

anyways, i'm still waiting for my scholarship money to come as well. hopefully that comes before the i leave for porterville on the 30th.

anyways, i found this program that will let you download songs from your shared music on itunes. it's so great, plus, it's super fast! i'm just waiting for these two people to open up their itunes again so i can see what music they have.

AOL IS THE DEVIL!!!

that's right, you heard me correctly. now let me explain the reasoning behind my statement...

so, i go to my mailbox, and what do i find in there? a blue ticket, which means that i have a package at the post office, which by the way, is on the other side of the campus. so, i'm thinking, yay! finally, my social psy book has finally arrived! i mean, it's been forever now... anyways, so, i come back to my apartment, get my wallet, that has my id in it, and put my shoes on (i had my slippers on), and i walked at a brisk pace to the post office, all happy, cause my book had finally come. well, i get there and i give my blue ticket to the lady and show her my id. she goes back and gets not my book, but one of those stupid aol disks. i had to walk all the way to the post office for a piece of junk mail! damn aol! i hate them! so anyways, i've added them to my list of things that are the devil, and they're going up there toward the top of the list. probably just behind peoplesoft and citibank.

so, i guess i got me some exercise and a cool free plastic cd case, if i can get the stupid sticker off it.

i will never buy anything from aol now and i will never get their internet service. i just might send them an email telling them why not.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

TIRED

so, we took our field trip to the ASC faunal analysis lab on campus. it was about a 10 minute walk from class, but they senior faunal analysis guy had us gather around him and he told us some stuff about what they do there. i started to feel kinda bad and i just knew that i wasn't going to make it through the rest of his talk. i had to sit down and i felt a bit better. dang, i think i'm getting sick. that or i'm tired. or maybe both since i was almost falling asleep in my social psy class. but i started to feel better by then. maybe it was the air in that room or something. anyways, i got out early from my comp applications class. most of the stuff is stuff i do here on my own computer.

WATCHING TV

that's correct. i was watching tv this morning. after buying a longer cable and a power strip, wendy and i moved my tv, vcr, and dvd player into our room. so now it's just too bad for anyone who wants to watch tv out in the living room. now i only need a fridge and a microwave and i'd never have to leave the room.

uncle rusty gave me part of his toilet. it's in my backpack with my toothbrush. :-P

ANOTHER WEEKEND WITH MY LOVE :-D

i spent another wonderful weekend with my love this past weekend. i'm just sad that i won't see him again until next month. uncle rusty went to porterville for his 50th high school reunion. ford stayed with us. on our way to school friday morning, we passed by a really bad accident where four people were killed in laying in yellow body bags. there were news vans and everything. as we passed by, my love asked, "are those people in body bags?" since he was driving and couldn't get a really good look, i looked over and said, "well, they must be, cause there're feet sticking out of that one." when we got back home, my love looked up the accident online and found out that a car was speeding and went over into the other lane and crashed into a truck, killing four people who were riding in the front seat of the truck, and criticalling injuring a person sitting in the back and the driver of the speeding car (sidenote: now who rides four people in the front seat of a truck??? i mean, i've been squished between two other people before and we barely fit. how can four people fit?).

my love heard back from longs. finally! they received both his results and had him go in to fill out the paperwork. he starts on sunday in the back on the computer.

we went to target and got new pack packs since they were on sale 30% off. yay! my love and i both needed new pack packs. i've had my old one since i was in 8th grade.

sunday night we went by the grocery store and picked up a few things. when we got back, we made manwiches, my love made the rice-a-roni, and we heated up some corn. uncle rusty got back, and ford slept with us. i guess he got used to sleeping in my love's room while uncle rusty was gone.

monday we went to school. we had our egg sandwiches again, just like usual. by the time we got back, it was about time for my love to take me back to the train station. i was sad. :'(

so, now i won't be seeing my love again until next month sometime after i go down to porterville for the relay.


this morning we had a guest speaker, sgt. scott dunn from the sonoma county sheriff's department, in anthro class. thursday we're going to take a field trip over to the ASC faunal analysis lab. that should be fun.

got a call from uncle micah. couldn't call him back until after i got out of class, but he and stacey wanted to know if i could take pictures at their wedding for them. i guess it'll be sometime over winter break. it's about time they get married. they keep telling me that they already have...

so that's what's been up with me lately.

MY LONG WEEKEND IN PARADISE

okay, so maybe it was in brentwood, but it was with my love, so can you blame me? anywho, i miss my love so much (even though i just got back last night), that i've already made a reservation to go see him again on thursday. :-D ;)

we had a long, nice weekend together, and since my love had still not heard back from longs (the manager was on vacation for a week), he didn't have to work. he installed the memory in my computer and we watched some television. we also went to bed late and slept in late. uncle rusty was in and out a whole bunch. as we were leaving, he'd be coming, and he'd leave before we got back. we went shopping and my love did better this time spending only around $65 instead of $102, made some spaghetti with dad and shar's spaghetti sauce, took a $2.50 roundtrip ride on bart to walnut creek on sunday, and watched the csi marathon on labor day until i had to catch the train.

vicky picked me up in front of the ihop, which was nice of her.

i guess wendy had a nice weekend as well. she went rafting on the river in sacramento with yael and her friends. she didn't get back until after i did.

today was an early morning. ugh! after class, i came back and wendy and i both took a nap, even though wendy's was slightly longer than mine. i got my check card from mom in the mail, but i'm still waiting for my book, which i hope comes tomorrow, or i won't have it for the weekend to write my paper and will have to do it on the book victor let me borrow to use until i get mine.

well, i hope this weekend is equally as long. uncle rusty will be gone to his class reunion and i didn't want my love to be all alone. hopefully he'll be able to start work, since he had to retake his drug test, this time in tracy, and they're supposed to let him know thursday.

oh, and one more thing... as i was leaving, uncle rusty told us to drive safely and then told me to tell the engineer to drive the train safely cause his niece was riding on it. ;)

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

so, it's another day, and i've just talked to julia, the loan coordinator here at ssu and she confirmed that my loan is going to go through today and should show up tomorrow. this is grand, because it means i don't have to borrow the amount of the housing payment from mom that's due today and put her out for a while until i could pay her back. after my loan goes through, my account balance will only be $299, which will be for housing, which isn't due for a while, and i can then get my scholarship money i've been waiting for. one less thing to worry about. now all i can do is wait for it to show up on my account on the evil peoplesoft and print that out to send for my scholarship.

at noon, they had club day where the clubs set up tables out in the stevenson quad with information. the best part? the free food! that's right, they had free hotdogs, chips, cookies, and sodas for all. wendy and i went then she went to class at 1. i'm not really interested in joining any clubs. i think it's that i don't really want to become attached to anything here. i love the events. like today... it was great. the concert yesterday was a lot of fun, and there's a comedy competition that i want to go to later this month, but it's different joining a club and becoming involved in that. i did get a free book though. it's an advance reading copy (they were giving out a whole bunch) called Wild Animus by Rich Shapero. i'm going to read it when i have time to see what it's all about. but hey, it was free...

i stopped by the bank of america table that was outside today and found out that i have to go by the bank to pick out some checks, which is going to cost me some money, but i do need checks for a few things, so i'll have to order some.

i went by the bookstore this morning to pick up my book for my development of the person class and also three large blue books to be turned in next tuesday night. the book was $102! with tax and less than a dollar spent on the three blue books, my total came to a whoppin' $110.39! i don't even want to open the plastic wrap on my book, since i know once i have, the price will drop by at least half. thank god mom put money into my account yesterday.

my love gave me a call this morning while he was waiting for his class to start. i guess my memory is on its way to his house. hopefully either someone's home to get it or they leave it. but it should be here in plenty of time for him to install it in my computer and then make sure my office programs work, since i need word for an assignment due next week.

finished my reading for next week for my anthro class, so that's one less book i'll have to take when i go see my love tomorrow. :-D i can't wait! one more day till i'm with my love again! he still hasn't heard from longs yet, which is not good, but at least that means we can spend more time together if he's not working yet.


latest teachings... if you call and go by to find out any information about a problem here (ssu), they're really good about taking care of it (they're extremely helpful). however, they it shouldn't ever come to this point...
