Could I have had a worse week ever? I don't think so...

My Mom had Fluffy put to sleep yesterday morning (Saturday morning). He was 2 months shy of his 20th birthday. She didn't even take him to the vet to see if his arthritis could be managed with meds. She just had him put to sleep. I now refer to her as the cat killer. Harsh, but she didn't even see if Fluffy could be helped; she just ran out and had him put to sleep.

I was awake from 10:30AM Thursday to 6AM Saturday. I drove from school to the house, then from the house to the car rental place, then to the car rental place home, then from home to Toledo. I was at the Queensryche concert for one hour as I got there at 10PM, then Toledo Dave and I drove around until 4AM. I fell asleep on the Ohio turnpike around 5:30AM, so I pulled over at the Towpath service plaza and took a half hour nap. I then woke up and drove home through Akron and Fairlawn. I got home around 9AM, and slept until 4PM. Then I went to the Factory of Terror last night, and also to Wal-Mart and K-Mart. I went to sleep at 2AM and woke up this morning at noon. I have a headache and want to smack someone, but it's still nice to be out of Glenville.

I sincerely need to straighten up around the house.

I haven't updated this thing in a week because my new laptop broke. I went to class on Monday and it was fine. I got back to my room around 3PM on Monday, and the monitor wouldn't come on. The computer part worked fine, but the monitor wouldn't work. I called IBM and they sent me a box to facilitate the return of my laptop. I've had this computer almost 2 months and the monitor already went out. I used to think IBM StinkPads were good, but now I'm wondering.

The BaronBomb has been fixed for over a week, but I don't have the $500 to get it out of the shop. Hopefully I'll be able to get it out of the shop this week. I am going to have to drive the GTI to school, which is not something I want to do. Oh well, I have two exams Wednesday that I can't miss, so the GTI is making the trip.

I'll update this thing later on, I'm tired now so I'm stopping.

Woohoo, I won 4 Queensryche tickets for $6, and they're 3 rows from the stage! I can't believe it. Watch the seller not contact me because the tickets didn't go for any amount near what his Buy It Now was set at ($250!). Either that, or I won't get my car back by Friday. That will really piss me off...

3 days until I go home. I'm leaving Wednesday after my Intro to Criminal Justice midterm (probably around 3:30PM), and I'll be back in WV on the 19th (Sunday). I'll be OK once I get my car back because I can drive into Weston when I need something that resembles a real city. It gets really old being stuck in Glenville without a car, and no way to get to the store. I haven't been out of Glenville since the September 14th when I came back from Ohio for my birthday. Someone kill me...

My deer were out again this evening around 7PM. I saw 4 of them this time, and I'm sure there were more that I didn't see. I tried getting a picture of them, but they were too far away for me to get a good photo with my digi cam.

I'm off to shower, then do my homework for Human Sexuality.

Ugh, I spent from Noon to 6PM painting the Dracula set. GSC is performing Dracula at the end of the month, and I was suckered into tagging along for today's work session. I was told it was only going to be a couple hours; a couple wound up being 6! It was nice to get out in the sunshine, but still, it would have been nice to know how long I was going to be there so I could have taken a beverage. Oh well...

I'm off to recover....

OK, it's official. I'M A DORK! I was sitting here emailing Toledo Dave and I happened to glance out the window. There were three deer just hanging out on the hill, eating grass and wagging their little tails. I got all excited and called next door. Sherri looked outside and said there was 8 of them out there! I've seen deer before, but never just looked out the window and there they were. It's a good thing we didn't have deer like this at home; my Dad would have constantly been shooting at the poor things. Maybe Glenville isn't so bad after all...

I totally missed all of my classes today. I woke up at 6:30AM and thought someone had shot me in the tummy. Suffice to say I wanted to die. I felt like that up until 4:30PM when I finally drug my happy ass out of bed for some chicken broth. That seemed to do the trick as I feel fine now. Strange things bellies are...

OK, Sherri and I are going to do laundry. Woohoo!

Class was pretty good today, even our Criminal Justice prof managed to make it interesting. He seems like a really nice guy personally, but his teaching style does need some work. He's a new prof though, so it's understandable.
I can't believe midterms are the 15th! I only have one midterm, in Criminal Justice, so I'm not worried about it. Part of the exam is in take home format! Woohoo!

Queensryche concert the 17th in Toledo. Toledo Dave and I are attending, and I have soundcheck passes plus Toledo Dave works at the Stranahan Theater! Woohoo again!

The Chrysler dealer still has my car! The guy I've been talking to claims they should have the estimate tomorrow morning. 6 days to get an estimate for a radiator and water pump? Goodness!

Here's a list of stuff I'd kill to have:

Care Bear Bookbag


Care Bear Long Sleeved Hoodie T Shirt WITH EARS!!!


Care Bear Hoodie Sweatshirt (Grumpy Bear) WITH EARS!!


Please send them to my school addy. LOL

I was planning on going to bed hella early tonight as I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, but the roommates and their drunken friends insist upon slamming the fucking doors and being loud at 10:30PM. I've never known such inconsiderate people in my life. I've stopped cleaning anything other than what I use ie: bathroom, my dishes and my room. I never use the living room or the kitchen counter therefore I'm not cleaning it anymore. It may be petty, but why clean up after people who don't even appreciate it??? Would you? I thought not...

I'm off to clean my glasses; damn smudge!

By the way, I found the roll of toilet paper I had been using when I first got sick. It was hiding under my bedside table!

Christ, I need a job. I spent the majority of the day SLEEPING. I am soooo bored, you can't even begin to imagine. I'm calling the Dr. office and State Farm tomorrow after class, and I'm begging them for a job.

I've been without a car for almost a week; not fun. I'm calling the Chrysler dealer tomorrow and finding out when I can pick up my car. I found a garage in town who'll fix my car for $375 including the new radiator, water pump, oil change and labor. Woohoo!

I want to go home.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I was feeling antisocial, so I stayed in my room all day. Woohoo! I did watch one disc of the NYPD Blue Season Two DVD thingie, and I plan on watching another one today.

I'm surrounded by drunken morons. Please help me.

Bye

Holy fuck, the roommates actually turned the heat on!!!!
The LeBaron's water pump and radiator are bad. Neither of the parts are covered under the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. A radiator from Advance Auto Parts is $150 and the water pump is $30. Could this have happened at a worse time? I think not.

Not that anyone cares, but I got a "B" on the Abnormal Exam.

I'm going to hang myself.

Woohoo, I don't have to get up until 7:15AM! I just took my shower so it's sleep in time tomorrow. Riding the Amish van to class is pretty cool! No more of getting up at 6AM so I can leave for class at 7:15AM in order to get a parking spot. I may continue riding the Amish van even after I get the Baron Bomb out of the hospital.

I hate cold weather, did I ever mention that? Actually I don't mind cold weather; snow is what I hate. Well snow and cold temps with wind. And everyone laughed at me for bringing my scarf, hats and gloves this semester. HA!

Off to bed for me...

Why am I listening to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD in OCTOBER? Probably because it SNOWED TODAY in Cuyahoga Falls/Akron. Fuck that!

I'm now leaning towards staying at Glenville until December, then transferring back to Akron U.

OK, I'm finished now.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I updated this thing yesterday. Oh well...

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I took my first Abnormal Psych exam and I believe I did very well on it. Mr. Jeffrey will give us our scores tomorrow. As long as I do well on that exam I'll still have "A's" in all 4 of my classes. I do have another Intro to Psych exam tomorrow, though, and after I take that I'm not sure I'll still have an "A" in there. Bah!

It's around 45 degrees here and the roommates keep turning the A/C on! Everytime I turn it off they run right over and turn it on. It's going to start snowing in here pretty soon!

I called the Chrysler dealer in Weston today and the guy told me they're looking at the Baron now, and should know something by this evening. If I don't hear from them today I'll call them tomorrow around noon when I get back from classes.

I'm contemplating dropping out and going home. Lets just say I'm tired of freezing, being bored, not having a job and otherwise feeling useless. Plus Halloween has always been my favorite holiday and there are no haunted houses down here. I keep thinking that I shouldn't drop out because I'm doing so well, and I'll still owe for my loans. I dunno, I'll figure something out.

I have to pee and I think my clothes are finished washing.

Bleh.
