THIS WEEK'S UPDATE

tues:
anth 318: "ah you're so nice, you're like the blackboard eraser" --karin (after i erased the board after class)
psy 410: lost as ever.
anth 302: exam 1. it was quite a bit of writing. i totally blanked on the last question, but guessed. after checking, i found out that my guess was correct. of course i didn't write much about it cause i wasn't sure if it was correct. so hopefully i'll get some points outta answering it. hey, it pays to not leave anything blank. before the exam, kim and i were talking about how we like to sit in the same seat in class and i was saying how thrown off i get if someone takes my seat. karin understood how pissed you can get at that person for taking your seat. grrr! don't take my seat!
after class wendy and i went to take the collegiate learning assessment, an online test in which we had to write an essay and then reply to a statement. but hey, we made $20 for just 90 minutes of our time. hey, we couldn't pass up making an easy $20. by the way, if anyone has a test like that they'll pay me to take, then hey, sign me up. wendy found out she got the job at the jewelry store. congrats to wendy wendy wendy horn. later that night, we decided to spend part of our money and ordered take-out from bakers square. boy do i love their mixed grill, yum yum!

wed:
psy 490: we had two guest speakers, the first talked about career services and the second about sports psychology. both quite interesting.

thurs:
anth 318: we had to count ourselves out into groups (of 7) and for about half the class, i had to sit in the back corner. ugh!
psy 410: still lost a bit, but we got a little more explanation that made some sense. we have three different assignments, two of which are group projects with different groups. it's just kinda a lot to think about at this time... most of class was spent in our pbl groups in which we have to make up a portfolio on our topics (ours is gangs) and take notes for an individual paper to turn in. the worst part of this is that it's due in two weeks, not giving us much time to spend on it.
lunch turned in my psi chi application today with the check for $55. ah it was so hard parting with that money...
psy 302: the projector died halfway through lecture, which meant that karin had to use the board, which was kinda difficult to follow with the printed lecture notes. after lecture, we watched the film different but equal put out by the learning channel. let me just say that it was quite an interesting film. there were lots of boobs and nasty women who were super muscly body builders. but it was also interesting too. when she asked if we wanted to finish the film next class, one of the guys quickly replied, "yes!" before anyone else and we all knew why he wanted to see the rest of it...

other things i've been working on updating my site so check it out here.


latest teachings... we learned a bit about twins and homosexuality today. part of what we talked about was the difference between identical and fraternal twins. karin has a twin brother. yep, you learn something new every day.

song lyric/quote of the moment... "so sick, so sick of being tired, and oh so tired of being sick..." -tbs

FACEBOOK ADDICT

okay, so i could never really get into friendster or myspace all that much. i mean, i have an account at those places, as well as the namesdatabase, and i check them periodically, but thefacebook.com blows these others outta the water. you connect to others by school and can even find high school friends as well. the cool thing about this is that you can see what school they're going to, what classes they're taking, what their current information is, including phone and email... plus, if you enter your current classes, you can see others who are in class with you. i just hope that it gains as much popularity as the other services and recommend that if you're wanting to join one, join this one.

GOOD NEWS COMES MY WAY!

yep, you heard right, i have some good news finally.

last night i got a call from myLove, who found my keys in the back of uncle rusty's car. he's supposed to send them to wendy so i can get them, hopefully before the week's end.

on another good note, i received a call from the post office to come pick up my phone today, which means that all i had to do was walk down there, show them my id and get my package. no hassle with the blue slip. yay!

BAD THINGS COME IN 3s

okay, so i guess it could've started with my phone and its glitch which won't enable me to get to or add any contacts. kevin called cingular up yesterday and spent almost 2 hours on the phone, half of which was on hold, listening to suggestions of what to do to get my phone to work correctly, none of which did any good. so, it finally came down to them sending me a new phone, which is going to cost my dad $14.99 for shipping and handling, and me sending back my phone. of course this means that i had to take off my photos and will lose my ringtones and games i had on my phone since there is no way to take these off.

you think that's something, there's more...

upon arrival at the train station last night, we quickly ate our carls jr. burgers so we could get out to wait for the train (i'm anal about getting there early). well, after waiting, kevin called amtrak, which announced my train (train 715) delayed over an hour. so, while it was supposed to get there at 6:01pm, it was delayed till 7:24pm. okay, so we were going to have to wait for about an hour. but no, another call put the train's arrival time at 7:54pm and another call put the arrival time at 8:21pm. finally, it was scheduled to arrive at 8:31pm and actually showed up around that time after we had waited and waited, meanwhile 3 freight trains had gone by as well as the 7:02pm southbound train heading to bakersfield. standing there in the cold rain, i was beginning to think that my train would have to pull over to the side and let the next train (717) go by. so in the time it took us waiting for the train, myLove could've driven me all the way back up to school and been halfway back. well, so at least the train came. but then when i got on the bus, we had to wait (at least it didn't take too long) for the police to show up because one of the ladies riding the bus almost got mugged when she was standing outside. so, i guess i could've taken the next train since it didn't put me back up here until around 10:30pm. i have the worst train luck...

but wait... there's more...

so, this morning i reach into my pocket to make sure my keys are there and guess what? yep, that's right, no keys. so then i tried to think back to when i remember i last had my keys and i couldn't. but then i remembered that i put them on my pants at kevin's before church. usually i stick them in my pocket, but the pockets in the pants i was wearing that day are very deep and it's hard to get anything out of them. after that, i don't remember anything else about them. well, so this means they are still there somewhere, in uncle rusty's car that we rode in to church, or even worse, they came off at church or the restaurant we ate at after church. so, not only am i locked out of my apartment if no one's here to open the door for me, but i can't get my mail, which means that i won't be able to get my phone to send back the phone i have within 48 hours, which means that devil of a place known as cingular is going to charge me for the phone they sent to me.

i only pray that myLove or uncle rusty will find my keys and that i can get them back within a day or so... sucks to be me, eh?

CINGULAR IS THE DEVIL!!!

yep, you heard me right. right now it's even above peoplesoft if that tells you anything.

so, i was talking to my love on the phone last night, not too late, when all of a sudden, my phone goes off. i look at it and when it comes on (all by itself), i see that there is no picture. so, i turn it off and turn it back on again. it plays the dumb little song and shows the nokia picture that cingular includes on their phones. of course, being an at&t customer previously, i have never had to deal with such annoying nonsense. well, so then i notice that the wallpaper is still gone and when i go to check everything else, i notice that there are no pictures or contacts and all the settings appear to have been reset. plus, all my dialed numbers are erased as well as my call timers. so, it appears that cingular has sent out an update and some of my preset graphics are unsupported and i've lost all my contacts. other than being reset, i think that everything else is alright. the photos i took are still there, my dates in the organizer are still okay, the time didn't change, even though i took the battery and the sim card out, wtf? the problem seems to be with the contacts and the fact that at first i couldn't access them and now it's saying that there are none. of course, while this is a pain and super annoying since some of my contacts were only in my phone and no where else, i can't even go and try to add in new ones because it's still giving me an error. so the only thing i can do is save my contacts to the sim card.

damn you cingular! i hate you you are the DEVIL!!!

is anyone else having problems with their phone since cingular took over?
