The chemistry department had a mixer Friday and we went, it was pretty fun. They had a fish fry so we got to have some pretty good fried fish and hush puppies. And various snacks and such. We took home some french fries and some dip, its pretty good stuff. Saturday we had a sushi party, we hosted it so it was cheap for us! We just provided the sushi rice and cucumbers, and I made some miso soup. I found a site where I could get supplies for miso hella cheap. Asianfoodgrocer . com if you are interested. We had some imitation crab meat and Dave used it to make a spicy crab meat saucy thing. Japanese mayo, chili paste and the meat blended up. It was really good! We watched 300 with the riff tracks and after we played trivial pursuit, genius edition. It was pretty funny, since all of us are awful at sports. But my team got the shittiest question!! “Who killed Cleopatra” the answer was freaking “Cleopatra”!!! That is such B.S.!!! I was mad arg >:( Anyways, we got to hang out with Kim and Byron, whom we never get to see so it was pretty awesome. They brought some pretty sweet beers too, left over from their beer tasting party. Friday I worked at a place in the mall, its called Museum Earth. It sells all sorts of random stuff, new age stuff and jewelry and fossils and all sorts of stuff. Its a part time job for minimum wage, but at least its income! I’m interviewing *again* at Applebee’s tomorrow at 2, but I *think* this is to set down my schedule. Supposedly I should be hearing back from the place where Diana works this week too, but that has been all month. They are a startup net business and aren’t very organized though. Dave thought he had a full scholarship, but it is only partial, and he didn’t apply for financial aid this semester, since he thought he didn’t need it. The scholarship pays for all the fees and stuff, which cuts his tuition in half about, but he still had to make a payment or be dropped. Well he has to pay about $1600 for the semester, but because of some bureaucratic bullshit he had to pay a third of the WHOLE THING, $1300! AND THEN because he didn’t file the form for a PAYMENT PLAN he had to pay $300 MORE!! We have like, no money now, it super pissed both of us off. We are lucky, because Dave’s dad is going to pay our rent and bills so we don’t get evicted, and my parents lent us some money for groceries. But Dave doesn’t get payed until *September* and I just now got a job. It is such anger making!! I also don’t know if Dave is even eligible for financial aid, since his dad is still claiming him as a dependant on tax forms. I suppose since his dad is aiding us we don’t actually need it, but I think he’d rather not rely on his dad. I certainly would prefer if we both could be financially independent. But I suppose that is how it goes.
Kthnxbai!
(I just noticed I used emoticons as sentence ending punctuation. That is kinda weird?)
I finally wrote my book review, yey! I hope its gonna get a good grade, my parents had a big fight with me the night I was trying to write it. I know its decent, but I want like an A. Oh well, shit happens. I’m excited though because I get to be with my baby for a whole week. I’m flying up to see him on the 4th and comming back on the 10th. I would have rather flown up this friday, but I knew my parents would go ballistic if I left on friday and came back on the 10th. And I dont’ Dave to feel like I’m crowding him or anything either. I also probably will have to work on friday saturday and sunday, even though I want to quit.
and I had soup, but I’m still hungry, I wish UH had better food sources. Bew.
Man I forgot today that I didn’t have my weight training class, I walked up in there and there were other guys in there training and then the teacher for the previous class was like, “You guys have class? Whose teaching you guys?” and we were like “uhh… Lindsey?” and he was like “She’s not here today.” and we were like “uwaahhh???”. So yeah I didn’t get to work out for my class, but I’m gonna do it at home. I’ve been meaning to start using the weights we have anyways, but I keep forgetting, or getting busy with other things.
I came over to the WRC and was gonna hang out and have lunch, but I actually got to ennoy one of the programs “Food for Thought” where a woman lecturer talks to the center about events, or things. Today it was on eating healthy, but it can be over anything. And I got to help with the presentation, by clicking the slides, loll.
My car radio got stolen today. What the fuck? Sreiously, that radio is a piece of shit and the only reason I got it was because I was tired of putting my CD-player into my tape deck just to listen to CDs. I fucking bought it in 2000 and it was the cheapest piece of shit they sold. Its 7 years old and ITS NOT EVEN WORTH ANYTHING. WHAT THE FUCK?! You couldn’t pawn that piece of shit for $20 bucks. I am so pissed of right now its not even funny. And I call my dad to tell him and he doesn’t fucking answer his phone. What is the damn purpose of HAVING a cell phone if you don’t use it?! I was ON, ’cause it rang about 10 times before it went to voice mail, and I fucking called him for 20 minutes, to see if he wanted me to report it, because its not MY truck its his. Well I didn’t cause I didn’t want to deal with UHPD’s bullshit and its not like they could find it anyways. Ugh, I called his work number and his cell and nothing. I am so pissed off, I wanna stab someone. And I don’t really care about the radio, ‘casue I can get a new one for cheap since my cousin works at a install place, but its not even a good radio!! That’s what pissed me off, there is no value on a 7 year old shit radio at all!! And of course we have to tell my mother and she’s going to scream and yell at me for an hour and make sure I know it was my fault for being a stupid bitch and I should have prevented it from happening by not being so fat and ugly. RRRrrrg, I don’t even have words.
So the international student festival was today, and I didn’t even know about it! But they had their tables set up around the University Center Satilite so I got to eat awesome food. Woot. I had some goose liver patte stuff, some was smooth and some was chunkyish and they were really good. And some fancy french cheese. From the Japanese table I had some wasabi peas, baby cookies, rice crackers and nori crackers. Then there was the Indian table and it was awesome, I had rice pudding, and this awesome sweet potatoe caramelized stuff. Soooo Gooood. And I had some fried pancake thignies, Tina told me what they were called but I can’t remember. It is all good foods! I also had flan from the cuba booth and I can’t remember what else I just ate, loll. It was all good though, nom nom.
I’m feelin’ better now, talkin to Dave always cheers me up. Also we should be getting back our exams from my history of african-american women class, and I think I did pretty good. I was kinda worried ’cause I forgot there were two essays, and so the second essay is teh suck. But I did a quick outline and that was apparently the important thing, so yey.
Also I thought up a silly parody song chorus thing on the way to class today. I call it… “Cupcakes”.
I’m so filled with angst

I’m so emo (ooooo)

Maybe I should go eat worms
I dunno I was listening to the radio for once and it was all the same music, with this same theme running through it, with the same chords and “solos” and everything, just different singers.
Lame.
Also, I like run on sentances, they are fun. ALSO, I don’t think I used also enough, lets use it some more. Also tomorrow after my classes I’m gonna go hang out with April and possibly her man, Kris, we may or may not eat dinner, depending on how broke we are, we may just have sandwiches, or tacos or puppies.
I also love links, they are so fun.
Now for lamb!! ‘Cause who doesn’t love baby sheep?
Today is an exciting day, I had an interview with Anadarko today and it was very promising. Hopefully they’ll get back to me, it sounds like a fun job, andthey’ll pay for my Masters Degree, how awesome is that?
I also need to go to the information session for Malcom-Pirnie tonight, but it is during my class time. Most unfortunate!
Also, what the crap is up with Houston and sucking? I left at 11:40am so I would be really early for my interview and could maybe hang out at the WRC with April. But nooo I-45 was shut down for some asinine reason that I don’t know. But I do know whatever the reason it was definately asinine. Seriously from Beltway 8 to I-610 inbound on I-45 South was shut the freak down. The entirety of Ladder 61 was wasting time on an overpass over the free way, and every damn police car and fire engine was on the shoulder, and even some civilian vehicals. What the crap was so important a major freeway had to be shut down?
Seriously.
…
Seriously.
