So I suck at keeping up a blog =p
What's been happening, school, school and more school. I had my first test on Tuesday. 5 question differential equations test took me an hour and 15mins. I think my TA is not helpful what so ever with this class. He even told us in one of our sessions that he wasn't sure what he was doing and he should actually attend the class so that he knows how to answer our questions...very comforting. When the university is hiring TA's why don't they have a screening process. All the TA's I've ever had for any of my math classes have been horrible. 2 of them knew what they were doing but they SUCKED at teaching it!
I had a German paper due on Monday. I hate writing papers in other languages...I feel like I'm back in elementary school writing simple sentences. The paper was a response to a video that I watched on YouTube. It was so freakin' complicated trying to explain what the people were doing in the video, what I thought it meant to them and then what I thought about it and if the video should be considered a piece of art...

Other news...nothing really happening...I LOVE the weather. With the first day of fall came actual fall weather 0_o it's amazing! I actually went to Starbucks after my exam and got a Peppermint Hot Chocolate and right now I'm drinking a hot apple cider XD I even made a super tasty Tortilla soup last night.
I'm going home this weekend...I have about 3 weeks of laundry I need to do =p Mom said something about maybe making a trip over to Fredricksberg! Yay for pastries and meat!!

Ok, well there isn't really anything else to report, i'm going to go and work on my Probability homework.

Summer...well at least the heat is a usual thing

So, haven't posted in awhile, but that's b/c there is nothing to post....not really anyways. All I do is eat, sleep, work and pack up my life here at the Ferdinand House. It's been a "good" 2 years. Good as is the house is nice but I'm so friggin' happy to never have to deal with Lee Properties again!! The people at the apt complex I'm moving into seem to know exactly what they are doing and a well organized for the most part, which means I won't have any trouble getting them to do anything it seems!

I'm excited to be moving and living on my own, but i'm a little scared too. I don't want to become a complete hermit when it comes to my place since all my friends are abandoning me for either a different city or to move farther up north =p
I'm sure Harley is excited too, well more excited that the boxes will be out of my room and it won't be such a sty anymore. I've put all the boxes that i've packed next to my desk...and there are quite a few and still more to come, which means they are taking over my room and there isn't much room to move around for her, but once Heather moves all the furniture from downstairs most(all) my boxes will be moving down there, which should clean my room up a bit...and make it look more empty and icky beige than it already does.

I need to get a recovery software for my digital camera since my laptop deleted some (a lot) of my disney pictures, but when i call and ask sony the people are complete and total morons! You would think that if you work in an electronics store you would know at least the basics on how your products work, but the 2 dumbasses that I talked to have no idea how flash memory works and kept telling me I didn't know what I was talking about...seriously! I know how flash memory works, I've taken several computer classes that have explained the basic concept of it. So does anyone know of a good memory recovery software that i can download to get the pictures off my memory card?

Anywho, party at my place once i've moved in!!

This is more fun than studying


So Charlie is still in the shop, they haven't called to tell me whether he's ready to be picked up of not.  Mom's driving around in the rental car, a convertable Mustang, and I'm driving her car around.  I'm hoping that they will be finished with Charlie soon and that my parents will be nice and come bring my him up to me instead of me going back down there, I don't really want to go down there and visit them last weekend wasn't very fun and I'm afraid with both of them in town the weekends are just going to start getting worse and I don't really want to deal with that.  I like being in happy moods and my parents seem to rain on that parade.

In other news my interview with JC Penney went really well, the 2 ladies that I talked with were really nice and I'm actually really excited about working there!  They had originally offered me a position in the accessory which would get me 20-25 hours a week, not as many as I would have liked, so when I called and accepted the job I asked if I would been able to get more hours once I started.  So Kellie, one of the ladies that I interviewed with, said that they could put me in the juniors department getting 30-35 hours a week.  Not too bad, it will be a nice paycheck.  I'll be making a little over minimum wage, so hopefully I'll be able to make rent and all that fun stuff without my parents help.  But i've done the math and if I work 35hrs each week I'll be making about $1100 a month, which is pretty good, it will help me save money for next school year and pay for our disney trip and apartment stuff.  Also working there I'll get discounts on stuff which will help with anything I need for my new pad...when I actually have one.

Other then that my life has been blissfully boring.  I really don't want to study for my 2 finals that I have tomorrow.  I have high A's in both of the classes and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting A's in both of them so I guess I'm just not worried like I should be.  I'm going over to Edward's today at 2 to study for my Stellar exam.  It shouldn't be too bad, whatever.  
Harley has been a big help studying as usual, she sleeps on the foot of the bed while I sit in her spot with my study stuff all around me.  She's really good at telling me when I need a break too.  I'll get up to go to the bathroom or go get a snack and I come back to her in her spot sleeping on my book or notes.  Silly puppy, she leads such a hard life, and thankfully she doesn't drool in her sleep!

ok I'm going to actually try and study now.

A mini Rant

I want to go back up to Austin.  This weekend (the past 48+ hours) has made me realize, again, why I don't like coming down to my parents house.  The only reason I'm not back in Austin right now is because tomorrow is Mother's day and for some strange reason, even though my mom is being a total witch with a capital B, I feel the need to stay down here to be with her tomorrow since the gift I got her won't be here until next week since she was supposed to be in Hawaii until next Sunday.  Both my parents are getting on my nerves, they are treating me like I'm a little kid that needs to be told what to do and how to do it.  I decided to be nice and make lunch for everyone today and my mom walks into the kitchen and starts telling me what to do and how to cook, I know how to cook, the lunch I made I've made tons of times for myself, but I get down here and I don't know how to do it, I need my mommy to tell me what to do and question why I'm putting stuff on there or how to cook squash and start cooking things when I'm doing it.  I wish I could go back to Austin and not be bothered.  My mom just stormed out of the house, no reason...apparently from what my dad said we were all going to go up to Austin today or something like that, but didn't feel the need to TELL anyone this, so she gets mad and storms out of the house without telling us why...whatever

Procrastination at its best


OK, so nothing exciting has been happening in my life lately.  I got my test back.  On my Solar System exam I got a 94 an then on my Stellar I got a 101 *woot*!! I'm pretty sure that it's the highest grade in  the class, I'm excited.  
The guys from the construction company are going to be paying for a new hood on my car.  I need to ask my mom if I can borrow her car while mine is in the shop.  They people that gave me the estimate said that it would be a least a 3 day job...I figured since mom will be going to Hawaii to visit my dad for a week I can get it in then, that way the guys don't have to pay for a rental car...and i don't particularly want a rental car.  The people that did the estimate said that it looked like something metal fell on my car and then bounced...or as Oscar put it, someone sat on the hood...poor Charlie.
Hmm...other news...I got a fish today.  He's so cute in his 1 gallon tank, he's so tiny that the filter pushes him around. ^_^  I'll have to try and take a picture of him.  I was out looking/trying to get ideas for Jenny's Graduation gift.  I have Tipti's and Heather's all finished/figured out, all I need is Jenny's...and maybe Chris...Anyways I was near the Petsmart on 51st and decided to go in and look and see if they were having any specials on Harley's food and look at the fish...and then I ended up buying one and an orange tank to go with it...now all I need is a name for him.  He's a Black Moor goldfish.  Any suggestions?  

OK I've got nothing else interesting happening in my life,
XOXO kids

Excitment...well maybe just for me ^_^


Today there were 2 extrasolar planets that are Earth like *sqee*  Here is the article from Yahoo!!


HATFIELD, England – In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
"The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky, Earth-like planet in the 'habitable zone,'" said Michel Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland.
An American expert called the discovery of the tiny planet "extraordinary."
Gliese 581 e is only 1.9 times the size of Earth — while previous planets found outside our solar system are closer to the size of massive Jupiter, which NASA says could swallow more than 1,000 Earths.
Gliese 581 e sits close to the nearest star, making it too hot to support life. Still, Mayor said its discovery in a solar system 20 1/2 light years away from Earth is a "good example that we are progressing in the detection of Earth-like planets."
Scientists also discovered that the orbit of planet Gliese 581 d, which was found in 2007, was located within the "habitable zone" — a region around a sun-like star that would allow water to be liquid on the planet's surface, Mayor said.
He spoke at a news conference Tuesday at the University of Hertfordshire during the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science.
Gliese 581 d is probably too large to be made only of rocky material, fellow astronomer and team member Stephane Udry said, adding it was possible the planet had a "large and deep" ocean.
"It is the first serious 'water-world' candidate," Udry said.
Mayor's main planet-hunting competitor, Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, praised the find of Gliese 581 e as "the most exciting discovery" so far of exoplanets — planets outside our solar system.
"This discovery is absolutely extraordinary," Marcy told The Associated Press by e-mail, calling the discoveries a significant step in the search for Earth-like planets.
While Gliese 581 e is too hot for life "it shows that nature makes such small planets, probably in large numbers," Marcy commented. "Surely the galaxy contains tens of billions of planets like the small, Earth-mass one announced here."
Nearly 350 planets have been found outside our solar system, but so far nearly every one of them was found to be extremely unlikely to harbor life.
Most were too close or too far from their sun, making them too hot or too cold for life. Others were too big and likely to be uninhabitable gas giants like Jupiter. Those that are too small are highly difficult to detect in the first place.
Both Gliese 581 d and Gliese 581 e are located in constellation Libra and orbit around Gliese 581.
Like other planets circling that star — scientists have discovered four so far — Gliese 581 e was found using the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile.
The telescope has a special instrument which splits light to find wobbles in different wavelengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.
"It is great work and shows the potential of this detection method," said Lisa Kaltenegger, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Soo..


So life has been pretty boring of late.  Didn't do anything exciting for Spring Break, except work for mom on soccer because all her coaches and people are stupid and either can't read or just don't listen.  

My 2 test from the week before spring break I got a 90 and an 89...yay.  Other than that life has been very boring, go to school, study, sleep...you know the norm.

I did decide that since everything has been kinda boring lately to watch Sailor Moon Live Action...and let me tell you, the live action version is WAY better than the anime, and almost as funny as the Musical(yes there is a musical, I can't watch it with a straight face!)  But I've decided that the guy that plays Mamoru has the best facial expressions, especially his range of disgusted faces(wtf pic) EVER! His pained face isn't bad either.  I wish that I could find more pictures of him, he puts a smile on my face, and I can't help but laugh!  What are your thoughts?  If you want to see the best facial expressions watch Act 48 (I think that's the number, it's the episode before the last act?) 
Ok here is part of the best facial expression episode, it starts at the end.

The beginning of this one continues the funny faces!

Go watch them, his outfit is funny, looks like he has a penis or something coming out of his shoulder, and he looks constipated!

Starting off my Spring Break with a Nap

I would like to join the group of college students, and other people of the world, that are against Springing forward.  Ever since that hour was taken away, the week before you have 2 test on the same day no less, I have been exhausted!  My alarm goes off in the morning and its still dark...that's just plain evil!  My fuzzy brain looks up and say 'oh it's still dark outside...that means I can go back to sleep!'  Not good!

On another note...Texas needs to PLEASE stick with just one kind of weather.  So last week my allergies started acting up and since the temperature has been nice, we had the windows open to keep the house cool and save some money, but now thanks to this little cold spell that has come through is making me feel more like crap!  I keep coughing and it's just plain icky and I want it to go away...and I want the warm weather back!  What am I supposed to do with my spring break if its cold...what kinda sick joke is mother nature playing here...unless she's just doing it now and then next week is going to be really pretty. ^_^  Next week should be fun...I get to house sit for my parents...which means that I'm going to be alone with Nikki, Stormy, and Harley in that big house...Nikki and Harley will be fine, it's Stormy that I think I might have the problem with.  She has a tendency to pee and poop in the house if you don't get your ass out of bed fast enough for her majesty.  Nikki can get that way about food...if you don't feed her promptly then she won't leave you alone.  But the good thing is, I can drive my parents cars all week long, which means that I can save gas in my car, that way I don't have to fill up down there using my credit card.  Other then that there will be a lot of homework and reading doing next week...maybe... ...and watching cable TV on the big screen tv he he he watching Serena slap Dan in high defenition muaha ha ha ha ha!!

*ok Rant on, if you don't want to hear/read it stop right now!!!!*
Starting from the beginning.  So last semester I got the Fossil leather Longhorn purse from the Co-op that I've always wanted, but have been to cheap to use my own money on, well when I got my rebate card thats the first thing that I went and bought.  I go home and my mom sees it and says she likes it.  During Christmas break we go to the outlet malls in San Marcos for Christmas shopping and fun and what do we happen to come by at the Fossil Store, my purse, and guess who just HAS to have it?! My mom...so what does she do, she buys the exact same one that I have, she doesn't want the lighter brown or the black one, she has to have the dark brown one that I have!  So I think whatever, so we'll have the same purse, big deal, I don't see them that often whatever.  So in January I got my perfect purse, well for me at least, it's my navy blue coach that I carry around everywhere and I love it sooooo much!  I go home for the first time this year after coming back(and buying the purse) and my mom sees it and wants it.  She asks me when I got it, I lie b/c they harp on me about crap and I just want that visit to be as painless as possible.  So my mom and me are going somewhere and she's complaining about how much she doesn't like her purse and still bugging me about my purse...asking questions about when I got it, how much I paid for it and the one question that she keeps asking is "When you got it why didn't you think to get one for me?"  So to get her off my back, and for me to not yell at her and tell her to STFU! I go look on eBay for the stupid purse and find it in the navy blue that I have and then also black and the classic coach tan color and send picture of them to her to see which one that she would want so that she can get off my friggin back.  So she's narrowed it down to the black one and to the navy one.  She keeps asking me which one she should get...why the hell does she always ask me that?!  Why the hell should I care, I'm not the one that's going to be using it and crap like that, why do you need my friggin opinion of it, heaven forbid she uses her own brain and choose for herself.  So I keep telling her to go for the black one, that way she actually doesn't have the exact same purse as me...she has the same look and everything, but different color...I don't care.  But she keeps saying..."I do like the blue one, but if I get it would you care if I have the same purse as you?"  How the fuck do you answer that?  Do I care that my mom has the exact same purse as me?  Yes I fucking mind that she keeps getting the same purses as me...pick out your own damn purses woman! SERIOUSLY!  But can I say that to my mom, no.   So I have to order the damn navy purse and it showed up yesterday and when I told my mom she said she wanted it now.  Seriously, I can't have anything that is just my own that my mom likes.  It pisses me off!  The one coach purse that when I first looked at it was like I really like it, it's the perfect color, it's comfortable to carry and it's magically AMAZINGLY in my price range...and now my mom has it.  What the hell!  I mean I know I have like awesome taste and I'm totally amazing at finding sale items that are even awesomer =p but still, I'm not looking for something my 50 year old mom wants too.  Is she trying to stay young or something?  For the love of god, can't I have my own life with my own things?!

Ok rant over...sorta, there are many more things that I want to say, but I can't get it to come out right...and there are a lot of words that shouldn't be said...>_<

*Last word on Rant*
Mom ain't getting her purse until she pays me...there is no way in hell I'm letting them do this crap to me anymore, I'm not paying for stuff for them and then them not paying me back!  they complain when I say I have no money, and then I say right now since I don't have a job I'm putting everything on my credit card to save some money, in a since, and then they ask me to buy them things and to put it on my credit card and then they will pay me back...and then they don't, this isn't happening anymore!  I'm being a big girl and putting my foot down!
*Rant officially over*

XOXO

WOOT WOOT

Got a 96 on my other Astronomy exam WOOT WOOT!  I thought I had completely bombed it, but apparently my bs-ing was pretty good.  I completely pulled the 2nd essay question out of my ass, but I got full credit for it...yay!  So next week, Thursday, I have 2 test...eww!

Blarg


So my teacher didn't get our test back to us today.  He's taking his time grading the test.  He says that he's about 3/4 of the way through, meaning he graded the scantron part and is about half of the way through the essay part.  He also told us that the grades so far are as he expected them to be...what kinda crap is that?!  He refuses to tell us what the grades are looking like letter wise, so now I have to wait until Tuesday to get my grade back.  >_<>_<
I did get my fixed test back, he said that the key was right, but the scantron machine was counting 2 questions wrong...so HA!  I got 5 points added on to my grade so I got a 94 muaha ha ha ha ha.

Good news, last Friday at work some milk, about 200 pounds, decided to attack Tommy and in order to save his head he put his arm up and then also landed on his other arm.  So he landed real hard on his left elbow, and smashed 2 fingers on that hand.  He went to the doctor on Saturday and they thought that it was possible for him to have fractured his elbow, but since it was too swollen they couldn't take an x-ray of it.  So poor Tommy got to wear a fiberglass cast and arm sling.  He was able to get the x-ray FINALLY on Tuesday and he got the results on Wednesday...yay for Tommy, his elbow is VERY bruised, so the doctor told him that he's not really supposed to use it...How do you not use your elbow?!  Now, lucky Tommy, gets to wear a brace/sling that keeps his arm close to his chest, that way he doesn't use his elbow...good thing it wasn't his right arm, I would love to have seen him try and do everything with his left hand/arm he he he.  The only let down is that I still won't have an answer to my question of how do you take a shower/bath with a cast on.  I know you can wrap it and whatever, but I want it explained...perferably with pictures of it wrapped in plastic wrap and duct taped. ^_^  Tommy did say that it was interesting putting his seat belt on and driving though, since we drive with our left hand.

I would like someone to please explain to me why it's almost 90 degrees in February?!  I almost died last night, I had my ceiling fan on and my desk fan on high and I was still burning up...sometime during the night I even opened my window and it was still really hot...WTF?  It was 80 in the house last night until all the windows were opened downstairs.  I had all the windows opened in my room, but had to close them because people were walking their dogs and making  A LOT of noise and Harley was having a freakin fit, barking and buffing and talking every few minutes...I was getting ready to KILL her!  It's really hard to concentrate on doing Astronomy calculations
**Reason for the picture...its Wall-e...and it's cute...and I want Christmas to be here now since its the funnest season like ever =p

Good Start of the week ^_^


So I got one of my astronomy test back today, I'll get the other one back on Thursday *shudder*, I kicked butt on the test though!  The score that I got was an 89, and when we were going over the test today in class most everyone noticed that there was a 4 point discrepancy on the scantron part. So I was thinking yay if he goes back and credits the 4 points to everyone I have myself a 93...not bad, but I would have liked higher.  Then as we are going over the essay part of the test on one question he had given me 3(out of 5) points and a question mark next to picture that I had drawn.  So after class I go up and ask him about the question, I mean everything was right just not the picture I drew...which is good, I mean I even put the equations on there, so he said that he would give me another point and only take a point off for the picture.  So *totting my own horn* I got 1 point shy of a perfect score on the essay part of my test *toot toot* So I got a 90, and if he gives everyone 4 points a 94 AWESOME!

In other news Harley has been diligently protecting the house, she lays at the foot of my bed with her front paws on the footboard and her head down looking through the window and buffing and watching everyone and everything that may be out there.  She starts grunting, her way of talking, and buffing anytime the squirrel, that barks at us when ever we go outside,  is in the tree, on the fence...or worse on the roof.  When he was on the roof the other day she stood up and put her front paws on her crate and knelt down to look out the window, all the while just a talkin the squirrel, I wonder what she would have done if the window had actually been cracked?!  Anytime certain people get home she starts barking, grunting and buffing, its kinda funny, but when that person gets home late at night/wee morning hours it's not fun.

Hmmm...last piece of "news" I got a futon this weekend, a lady at my mom's office is moving to New Orleans with her boyfriend and is selling all her furniture and stuff, so she sold us her couch originally and then she sold us her all wood futon (for $80...awesome since they are usually $400!), so my parents are letting me choose which one I want to take and then Tommy and Ana might take the other since their futon is poking them with the springs...fun.  So I've decided that the futon might be better.  All we have to do is buy a new pillow thing because the one it came with is all stained and gross.  Awesome, I also got a 4 slice toaster, and then someone else at mom's office has offered to give me their kitchen table because they are getting a new one, but mom's not sure about it because (1) they don't have anywhere to put it, they don't even have room for the futon and (2) mom's not sure how it looks, she doesn't want to get a table that's all beat up and stuff, plus I have until July/August to get all the crap I will need for a new apartment.

Now I'm off to "do my homework"

OK so...

So I haven't posted in awhile..nothing really new is happening. I had my test today, and I didn't get my other test back...='(, but I should get both back next week...woot. BUt I was surfing on AOL and found this article...OH MY WORD is all I have to say!

"Indiana Woman Said "I Do" 23 Times
Because of her multiple marriages, the fictional character Erica Kane on ABC's soap opera "All My Children" has the longest name for a television character: Erica Kane Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Roy Roy Montgomery Montgomery Chandler Marick Marick Montgomery. But one real-life Indiana woman would have her beat by a long shot.

See which star couples have ended in Splitsville...
She was born Linda Lou Taylor, but the 68-year-old Anderson, Ind., woman has had many names over the past 50+ years. That's because she's been hitched 23 times, making her the most married woman in history.
Linda can't remember her husbands in order, but she remembers the first one vividly. She and George Scott married in 1957, when she was just 16 and he was 31. They stayed together for seven years, making the marriage her longest.
Her shortest marriage? Thirty-six hours to Fred Chadwick.
Linda now goes by the surname Wolfe. She and husband Glynn "Scotty" Wolfe did not marry for love, however. The two wed in Arizona in 1996 as part of a publicity stunt. Scotty was the most married man in the world, and Linda was his 29th bride. Scotty died just a few days before their one-year anniversary.
If you think your ex-spouse story is bad, imagine having 23 of them.
Linda has been married to a convict, a preacher, a musician, bartenders, homeless men, electricians, and even two gay men. One husband beat her. More than one deserted her.
But this hasn't discouraged her from walking down the aisle again.

Blanket...oo and ahh please


Ok, so I promised them, and since taking pictures and fiddling around is more fun then actually ready my chapters for school, here are a couple pictures of the blanket that is the reason for the yarn ball/barf of doom.

I have found where all Harley's hair is!!

So reading for class isn't that fun, it's the basic crap that I've already learned...a few times, so I got about half way through my chapter and decided that it would be a better idea to clean my room. And this idea is always good in theory right? I folded and put up all the laundry I had done earlier this week, thrown away LOTS of papers and stuff that I will never need again, organized my movies and I'm working on my little bookshelf right now. I have officially found were Harley hides all the hair she sheds. I mean it gets on my bed, but that's nothing unusual to me, Stormy and Nikki hair manages to some how get on my stuff up here, so a little hair on the places where Harley usually stays is fine...but after cleaning the way I have tonight I have found all the other hair that she sheds! It's good hair too, it's the nice kind that clumps itself up for you, that way all you have to do is pick up the clumps, so yeah...it was hiding in the corners and along the edge of my big bookshelf...now if only my vacuum wasn't making funny noises and smelling weird when I turn it on we would be in business, but alas it is so I'm picking up the clumps by hand, which isn't bad. I still have some cleaning and organizing to do so it's all good.

Other news...for once my room is actually the COOLEST in the house..I don't know what exactly the weather decided to do, but it feels nice outside so I opened my windows to let the nice air in and the muggy air out and now any time I walk out into the hallway or anything there is a blast of warm air and it's strange...usually it's the other way around o_0

I finished the baby blanket and am currently washing it to get all the dog hair and other things that got on it off, plus I want to make sure it will hold up being washed b/c once I send it to Joe and them I can't fix it unless the want to send it back...but where is the fun in that, it need to be a durable blanket right? It turned out really nice, I'll have to take some pictures before I mail it over to them to show off to everyone ^_^

Who says she's not spoiled?!

So this is what I wake up to almost, if not, every morning.  Usually before we go to be Harley and I will snuggle a little bit and then when I start to fall asleep she moves down to the floor and sleeps on her pillow(A pillow that was technically mine, but she has claimed as her...you should see the dirty looks she gives me when I sit on it!).  So sometime during the middle of the night, I'm never sure when lately she's been doing very stealth like and actually not stepping on me when she gets up and makes herself comfy.  So this morning I wake up to the same thing, Harley laying like this on one side of the bed and me as diagonal as you can get in a twin bed.  Except this morning Harley was kicking me!  I guess I wasn't as over as her highness wanted me to be so I wake up with her kicking me in the lower back because I've curled into a ball and it's in her bubble...little brat!  So I get up and go to brush my teeth and I come back into my room and Harley has moved...on to my pillow where it's all warm, since the weather people lied to us today, it was 29 when I woke up not in the upper 30's low 40's like it was supposed to be.  So when I walk into my room and tell her to move since I still have a couple hours before I have to head off to school...and I'm FREEZING, she just stares at me, with a look in her eyes that says 'What mom, this is my spot?'  So I start getting back into my warm spot by pushing her over she starts grunting at me, which is her way of talking to you, but she eventually gets the hint and moves to the foot of the bed where her blanket is and with a BIG sigh she plops down, and once she comfortable she glares at me.  Now she's laying at the foot of my bed dreaming...cute lil puppy, it must be a good dream too, she has a cute little smile on her face! ^_^

In other news, while I was sitting listening to my iPod and reading my textbook waiting for my class to start today, one of the rudest guys is pacing the hallway and keeps looking in the classroom(I found out later that he had missed the class and wanted to talk to the prof.).  All the sudden he stops in front of me and starts swinging his arm, yeah I just ignored it thinking...some people are just weird, well he keeps doing it, so I pull out one of my headphones and stare at him and he say 'Can you move down?' Apparently he wants to sit down, on the bench that I'm sitting on, where there are a few more seats a little down the hall.  So I stare at him for a moment..I can't believe how rude he is and he goes 'If you don't mind'  I swear there are like 3 mins until the class gets out...why can't he stand.  So I kinda scoot over, and he just sits on down without a thank you or anything...what kinda crap is that, I mean I know your kind of an ass, but you could at least say 'Thank You' for me moving over or even paying attention to you , but I guess in this world that is just tooo much to ask for. *sigh*
I also dropped a stitch on my baby blanket of doom, it wasn't very far down, and I was smart enough to not get the yarn all knotted up, like the mass that still resides on my floor, yeah I gave up on it yesterday and just threw it down there and it will sit there until I have the patience to deal with it again. *blarg*
