Well, if you have a favorite let me know! Post a comment and tell me what you like about it or why you think one is better (or worse) than the other. Love ya all!

It's Really Late

And I just finished watching The Italian Job. Pretty good "high crime" movie. :) I'm scary... I like crime stories especially the ones that are so smooth no one gets hurt. *yawn* Binder still goes unfound.. but I will find it Wednesday (I'm on fall break now 'til then). Congrat's on thy kitty's new name, Becca! Sarah is a lovely name. :) Oh, Debbie (of the previous post) believes she will name her puppy Munchkin. 'Cuz that what she does.. she munches on your ankles. *soft chuckle* My calc teacher rocks... she's gonna let me photocopy all her class notes. All of them. Ain't that grand? Yup, Valerie's the cooliest. I'm exhausted. Oh, I guess I'll mention that I've done "something" to my hair *innocent smile* until I see those who I know I likely will at the Fall Retreat... I shall not post what I've done. You'll have to guess. ;)... We'll see if the peeps at school notice on Wednesday.. but I really must be off to bed. I love ya'll.... Blessings and Buenas Noches!

Okay..so the roller coaster can go up anytime now...

Dear, I'm sounding cynical. I DID get my calculator back. It now sports a large "Life Is Good" sticker on it's cover. But I left my binder (with all my class notes) at the lunch table today and Dominique had to bring it to me in Math Lab. Not bad? Ha. If that wasn't enough I called Mom promptly as I left math lab to let her know I'd be a bit later than she expected and while I was talking and getting in my truck I put my binder on the tool box and forgot about it. It fell off somewhere between the school parking lot (most likely spot) and I-40 at "disfunction junction". Surely someone turned it in to a teacher or the A.A. & A.A.S. Transfer Office. I lost it after offices closed so I'll find it tomorrow. It has all my quizes and homework and class syllabi in it. *sigh* This losing stuff has got to stop.

On the bright side, Debbie (a math lab....well, almost legend, the lady lives there doing her math homework and we all love her) is trying to name her new puppy. She says it's bites and attaches itself to your ankles like a little piranha. I told her she should call it "Anha" short for piranha. All the math lab workers like it. Debbie just couldn't quite grasp why it had to be Anha and why we so emphatically liked that name. I dunno why.. we just did. :) Debbie finally got to the point of saying "There's something behind this isn't there? It's either your girlfriend's name [pointing to Nathan (he doesn't have a girlfriend)] or your mother's name [pointing to me]." We both denied the allegations but Debbie kept going on so, that we couldn't stop snickering. So I finally had to give in, "Yeah, Debbie, we couldn't fool you could we? You're right. It's Nathan's girlfriend's name." Debbie came back with "Yeah! I bet you met her on the trail didn'tchya!" and she giggled. Nathan didn't seem particularly pleased. He made it clear it wasn't true. :) I thought it was kinda funny. He shoulda played it for all it was worth with Debbie. She'd have gotten a kick out of it in the end. (Oh, side note, Debbie's old enough to be my and most of the tutors' mom, so she wasn't hitting on Nathan or anything... just teasing him.)

I'm tired and beat. Oh, Becks.. thanks for the hug dearest. It was much needed. My condolences for Benji dog. As for the kitty.... Hershey? I mean really why not? or Reeses..or booger chin (hey you said it not me ;)..lol..) Okie I really need to go to bed. God Bless ya'll.

What a Roller Coaster...

...is this thing we call life. I lost my Nalgene (water bottle) Friday. Recovered it from my friend Caleb today. Lost my graphing calculator AGAIN today. Except this loss wasn't a fair trade. The last time I got mine and another person's TI-86 mixed up. This dude made out like a bandit with my and his TI-86s. Very very uncool. But, being a peer tutor I had to enter him into the computer (since it was his first time in Math Lab) and his name is Eric Anderson. He's a rather hansome red-head. He has MAT 171A (pre-calc algebra) with Jackie Caldwell (she rocks) and since he said he has a test tomorrow, and I know Jackie only gives tests on lab days, he must be in Section D5. At the moment I can't remember what class room he'll be in at 12-1pm... but it's 3rd floor Elm Building. In Nathan's words, "Man, you're gonna stalk the guy. Well, at least you know now where to let the heavy artillery lose." Yeah.... I was a bit more than peeved with losing it again!Again! Does my calcy hate me???? It keeps running away. :( :'( *sigh* And the boys irritated me today at lunch about why have artificial limbs for horses? (I was reading and article about it in my Equus magazine I had with me.) "Just shoot 'em and eat 'em." *sigh* God help me. I know He has a reason/plan for why I eat with all these younger ppl. I generally don't mind them but somedays 16-17yr. old boys are just too much. I'd far rather just eat with my Hannah girl. Ah! Her birthday is tomorrow! Dang, I can't come up with a card that quick....shoot. Ah, me... what a Monday. Oh, and I failed to know my past tense conjugations of "dar" for the Spanish Quiz today too. I thought it was a vocab quiz not a grammer quiz. Oh well... and I haven't had/taken/just plain done enough Bible Study-God Time lately either. I don't like - I mean, at least it isn't a desert this semester. I just feel like I'm drowning in the studying and I'm plain sick of it. And right about now (if you haven't quit reading this out of disgust) I prolly sound like a spoiled, whiney brat. I admit, I don't feel 20 right now. I feel more like a confused, overwelmed... I dunno what age. Maybe age isn't the point, if feel like... like.... not a floundering freshman....almost like I'm not where I ought to be. But I know I'm to finish my associates degree. Bah. Humbug. Maybe I just need to got to bed. Part of me want's to just sit down and cry.. another part wants to tear something up (a napkin or a pencil to knaw on wouldn't be to bad..or maybe a feather pillow..aye yes.. make a nice mess).. and part of me want's to just quit and ride horses. Or hide under a pillow until it all goes away. Well, I need to see if I can go find Hannah a B-day card from my store and then go to bed. I love ya all. Hope you have days more like my last post ;) :)...
Buenas noches mis amigo/as.
