Guys, (and by guys, I mean men) if your boobs are bigger than mine please at least wear a shirt while you're jogging/running. Thank you.

the things you hear

"I've been stock-piling ammunition for a year."
"I make my own ammunition on a large scale."

'nuff said?

frustration

Grrr, frustration, anxiety, annoyance, anger. But it's too specific to post on here. Anyway, just know that when I write my memoirs, it's coming out. (By then it'll be too much trouble to track down who what applies to unless you're really bored.)

The end result is me feeling utterly exhausted and not giving a flying flip about some things.

I just might cry.

Originally I had three formal exams in three consecutive days. Then the middle one got turned into a take home exam. The reason? The prof. said something to the effect of realizing a lot going on and not want to just have us worry about it. Today I learned that it was going to be timed and closed note and closed book because that's how it'll be on the bar. It's due the day after the exam originally was to be. So what's the real difference from the original plan? Only thing I can see is I can do it in the nude now. I have a formal exam Wednesday. Thursday I have a take home exam due. Friday I have a formal exam and the take-home closed note and book due. I then have a large paper due the following Friday.

I had gotten to the point where I thought things were manageable up until I found out the take home was closed note and book and due Friday. When the prof announced it I just wanted to shriek profanities and cry. Basically I'll be going full out from now until next Tuesday.

What adds to it is that most of my classmates have maybe one or so exams during exam week(s) total.


Eff! Eff!! EFF!!!

Random Observation

The whole "hiding" that you're texting in class by holding the phone under the desk thing? It doesn't work. I know you're either texting or far too interested in your own crotch.

Yogurt Continued

So I opened up the Greek yogurt. Not appetizing. It was really separated and kinda gross. I tried a bit of the "solid." Kinda like licking a spoon of fat free cream cheese. Mixed the liquid and fruit into it and tried again. Flavor - okay. Texture - a bit thinner after mixing. Basically, I think it's fine. Nothing to brag about but I'd eat it without any problem. I'll probably just stick to the regular though. The nutritional just doesn't make me prefer the Greek. Yeah, it has way more protein but unless I go vegetarian, I think I'm already good on protein.

tip fishing?

So I broke down and had my hair done. I'm pleased with the results. Anyway, as she was starting the person asked me if I was in 11th or 12th grade. I said I was in my third year at law school. But thank you.

(Really? I think maybe on a good day I could pass for 23 but 17 or 18? No.)

so,

further proof you shouldn't leave kids near me/ I might want to think long and hard before having kids:

I saw that children's Claritin commercial on t.v. and all I could think was, "Well thanks, Claritin. You took a perfectly acceptable excuse for drugging the noisy little buggers into somnolence and took it away! There goes "me" time. "

Ch-Ch-Changes

So I was going to wear the red dress, but will wear the black/gray. I might be going out with some people and a long dress just isn't as convenient. I was going to do my own hair but am now having it done. I thought I could do a French twist or something but lack any and all hair styling abilities. Sadly, my hair person books like months in advance. I'm ending up at one of the Wal-Mart places. Sucks too because it's only like $5 cheaper than my place. I called one and they were booked, then called the other. They were completly open. The person said she hadn't done a French twist in forever but she wouldn't be working Friday. They gave the starting price for updos and said it went up if a lot was involved and/or it took over an hour. What!?!?! Really what are people doing these days that the hairdressers get thrown by a French twist? My mom (who hates "deep layers") says I can't do my hair because of the layers. I say they make my hair work 364 days of the year so I'm keeping them. Bit ranting now but it's been one of those stressful but not stressful days.

Gotta go be productive I guess.

which one to choose?

Pilates -or- Pills and lattes?

Or does one lead to another?

oh!

Beginning of Sofa Rockers by Sofa Surfers compared to begining of Kansas by Vienna Teng. Dude!

thing's I've heard/read and want to share

"It's not a no no per se."

"as innocuous as a baby tribble on valium"

Plugging Ears and Humming Loudly

I really don't like hearing about "oh I did this or that," "I've been studying my outline for two years," the prep course I signed up for is horrible according to someone's friend of a friend, so and so put such and such as an answer can you believe the idiot (yes I can, I put the same thing), have you done this or that yet? etc. etc. ad nausium.

I just don't want to hear it. It causes me stress. I know the paper's due Thursday and I'm working on getting to it. I really don't need to hear how you quoted 5 great people in history and three obscure philosophy books. I have a hard time reaching the word limit minimum and don't want to hear how it was so hard for you to stay within the max.

Part of the reason I usually have the earbuds in blasting between classes. I don't want to hear about your stress I have my own.

Now to class.

Yogurt

So, Dannon is joining the whole Greek Yogurt craze. (Have you noticed all the weightloss and healthy eating things now don't tell you yogurt but Greek yogurt?)

So, nutritionally how does it compare to my mainstay Yoplait Light?

6 oz Strawberry Yoplait light vs. 5.3 oz Greek blueberry:

Y - 100 calories
D- 120 calories

Fat - 0 for both

Cholesterol - Y = less than 5 mg D = 10 mg

Sodium - Y = 85 mg D = 50 mg

Potassium - Y = 250 mg D = 160

total carbs - Y = 19g D = 17

Sugar - Y = 14g D = 16g

Protein - Y = 5g D = 12g




TASTE -

Dear Day,

You're kidding me right? You have just GOT to be kidding me!

Whine

So . . . an artist I like, Vienna Teng, is going back to school. Which means less touring. Which drastically decreases the likelihood of my getting to see her in concert just as I get closer to having the time/chance to see a show. I'm just never near a concert or it's during a really bad time at school to travel a few hours one way to go see . . . Sad because I really enjoyed the concert I went to a few years ago (has it really been that long?). The last song was Lullaby for a Stormy Night which is the first song by her that I ever heard. But good for her. Growing and learning and such. I just wish maybe a year later, after I had a chance to go to another concert? You know, since the world revolves around me and everyone must arrange their schedules accordingly.

At least a live cd is supposed to be coming out soon.

*sigh*

Few days before the big shoe sale what do I do? Total my left pinkie toe. Grrr! Basically I wore some shoes that rubbed my little toes a teeny bit but somehow the seam in the footie thingy got to just the right place to really rub the skin off. TMI? Oh well. Ugh! And of course it's the left foot. (My left foot in jinxed.)

Oh a more interesting note, Pandora just played The Puppini Sisters signing Jilted followed by Thousand Foot Krutch's Scream. Interesting.

I laughed!

Oh this is good. Just maybe a little too . . . something to post to fb.


6 reasons mama needs a Duncan Hines Brownie Husband

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/6-reasons-mama-needs-a-duncan-hines-brownie-husband-1279757/

Hello, my name is Jill and I'm an addict . . .

So I realized I'm a Claritin junkie today. Last night I was just wiped out and then this morning didn't want to get up. Running a little behind, I got up to pop my Claritin and get dressed. Only there wasn't any Claritin. I could have sworn I had another sheet but when I did the math, I realized that no, I had gone through 24. Stupid pollen and its early start! Anyway, I started freaking and even though I knew in one part of my mind that I probably had a bit still floating around in my system I could feel my throat getting all pollen fuzzy and my nose starting to stream. Needless to say I got dressed and stopped to Wal-Mart on the way to school. I ran straight to the allergy aisle and through the check-out line. As soon as I got to the car I popped the pill and even though I'm sure it wasn't even very far past my throat I felt better. More so relief that I wouldn't go through the rest of the day with a streaming nose and looking and feeling like a cat with a hairball. But still . . .

Oh, and I'm just plain super spazzy today on top of everything else . . . ah spring . . .

uuugggg!

I am pathetically out of shape. After walking for about 30 minutes and getting calf craps yet again (yes I'm eating bananas) and deciding that it's just too hot outside, I finally put in the pilates DVD. It's without weights and for beginners. Apparently I'm below beginner. A ten minute segment about killed me and left with with low self-esteem after not coming close to being able to do some of the moves. Pathetic. On the bright side it is a start.

I'll try to give the dvd two weeks before I decide it's beyond me and would make a better coaster under an B&J's sundae.

Wha!?!?!!?

You ever do something and then later you look back and you swear you must have been high as can be to do that but know that you don't do drugs? I volunteered to mediate. I didn't have to. I had my min. Oh well, at least I stipulated that I volunteered as long as the lowest of the three grades was dropped. But still. . . *sigh*

Of to a class I'm lost in and then to cram a bit.

passed!

I passed the MPRE for VA!

why?

Why don't they make workout shorts that are middle length? I mean, they come in down to the knees long and butt cheecks hanging out short. I need something in between.

hmmm . . .

Might be wearing a red dress and not sure if I can wear red lipstick and no clue how to pick the shade. . . and I want to keep this all affordable. Beauty on a budget. . . or at least take the face to curdle milk down a few notches.

Well.

Vienna Teng is going back to school so I have a feeling it will be a very long time before I can see her live in concert again.

S. Meyer is releasing a new book (but will later realease it for free on her site) based on a minor character.
