I never update. I suck. Yadda yaddda. I've been in school 7 days a week, and work 6 days a week. That all finally ended this past weekend. Thank goodness because I'm all sorts of exhausted and need a break until the Fall semester starts. I should be graduating in Spring 2010 and ready for transfer come Fall 2010 if all goes well with the next semester. I ended up getting an A- for my English class and a B+ for my Spanish class. Awesomeness. I also finagled with my fall schedule a bit and it now looks like this:

I think it will work and not be as stressful as my spring semester since I like my schedule this time around.

And I'm contemplating getting this tattoo done for my birthday (next wednesday!) on my right wrist:

Sucking at updating is fun. I hope the swine flu isn't taking eating off anyones faces yet. We got cases and cases of tamiflu in, but no one has had a prescription for it so far. I suppose thats a good thing. A girl from work is my gym buddy during the week, so I'm up to going to work out at least 3 times a week. Awesomeness since I've lost 7 pounds so far. We'll see how this works out as time progresses.

I'm so ready for this semester to be over with. I'm doing the Spanish I and an English class during the Summer I session, and I won't bother to post that schedule (five weeks, I'll be in class every day). I got the classes I wanted though, on the bright side, and thus far, here is my school schedule for the fall.

I should be ready to transfer out with my AA come spring time, if I get the classes I want for Spring 2010. I hardly got financial aid before, but now, don't even get me started on how much (or should I say how little?) they are giving me.

$81-$103 for my metrocard now.

Screw you MTA. If you're going to increase the fair, stop cutting service and jobs. How do I join one of those straphangers groups?

I seriously cannot stop listening to the Kings of Leon. I think they are my new John Mayer ( in the sense of the fact that I listen to John Mayer at least once a day).

I found out that if I attend Italian until March 31st and drop it before April 5th, my financial aid won't be affected since I'll be part time since I'm dropping 4 credits. Love love, love it. The idea of my GPA dropping was really freaking me out no matter how much I told myself I'd bring it back up. I know a failing grade isn't the end of the world but I'm not the type to just settle or an F or a failure. It means I didn't try hard enough (even though I know I did my best). So I have to take a placement test so I can take Spanish during the first summer session. Even though my Spanish is not very good either, I feel like I'll be more comfortable in that setting -- and I'll hopefully have a better instructor.

I have a new set of goals that I need to adhere to, as soon as possible.
- Lose 15 pounds by July -- the security guard at my job tells me I can do this if I run 2 miles a day.
- Finish all of Kurt Vonnegut's books.
- Finish all of Bret Easton Ellis' books.
- Figure out when/where exactly I can volunteer.
- Schedule my road test.

I can do all of these things if I stay focused for once and not be so scatterbrained and ridiculously ADD.

I haven't written anything substantial in forever, so I must get to it! School is going well, save for my Italian class. I'm doing terrible there even though I've now upped my studying habits to 3 hours a day for it specifically. I really find it difficult to follow my professors teaching mechanisms. It doesn't help that he doesn't have office hours and isn't required to because he isn't even part time. He teaches one class - mine. So many people have dropped it all ready, but dropping it isn't an option for me. I have to be able to stay full time and its a 4 credit class that would knock me down to 11 credits sadly enough. All I can do is stay positive. If worst comes to worst, I'll see about taking Spanish I during the first summer session and figuring it out from there. I don't want to overwhelm myself with too many classes during the summer since I'll still be working, and I'd like to start volunteering at least once or twice a week, once I figure out a place that can accommodate my crazy schedule.

I feel like every few months, once things start going decently, I start falling apart. Last year, around late Spring/early Summer when I seemed to have everything in order, I started having a ton of dental issues. I was in and out of the dental office every week. With that, things are somewhat better now and I only go for my regular checkups and no last minute emergencies. I just got over a week old cold at the start of the week. On Wednesday, after meeting up with the love of my life defuse and seeing Watchmen and browsing the foreign language section of Strand, I had a really uncomfortable pain in my neck. It subsided by the time I went to class that night, but the next few days it was uncomfortable. By Friday, I managed to make it through both of my Friday morning classes before having to give in and head to the ER. I could barely sit still without feeling pain, not to mention I couldn't figure out a comfortable way to sleep the night before. The doctor said I managed to pull a muscle and gave me some muscle relaxers and told me to take it easy for a few days. I did that and I feel a little refreshed. A brand new week lies ahead of me so I'm trying to stay positive.

I'm going to finish off these ridiculously short chapter in Breakfast of Champions and attempt to go to sleep somewhat early. (Who calls midnight early? I'm ridiculous).

Go back to Broadway or Middletown and do not pass go!

I forgot to post when Jeanette and I went to the met a few weeks ago. The best part about it was the Superhero Exhibit but unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures of that. But I also loved the Jeff Koons on the Roof exhibit as well, so here are pictures from that.

And I've just returned from spending 5 hours at the doctors office so I'm now going to bed.
