My online banking thing is dumb…. it has me do a secret question after I log in that I would only know the answer to, but a few times I’ve misspell the answer and it still lets me in. What a fantastic security measure….not.

got my ukulele songbook today!

I’m excited! It has songs from Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Ingrid Michaelson, Black Eyed Peas, Eric Clapton, the Beatles…. This will be where my instrumental interests stay for a while! [I thought about taking piano lessons again, but I’m still thinking] For now I’m going to focus on ukulele :D

online classes

Class started today, so I looked at all my online classes… so much reading!! I think I’ll have to work on only one class per day. Maybe it won’t be overwhelming then. Just focus on one for one day, and the next another day.

sophomore slump

So my actually grades turned out to be A, B, B, B, C, D from last semester. I got an email from my advisor telling me that my GPA was lower than the one required to be in the teaching program. They’re going to let me stay in it though because I had a 4.0 from freshman year. And then I started thinking about my scholarship getting taken away, and my car insurance discount for good grades...

My dogs are making me paranoid because they keep barking at stuff outside. And someone rang the doorbell, and it’s dark already. I don’t answer the door during the day (because the only people I’d want to see are delivery/mail people and they’ll just leave stuff), so I definitely won’t answer it after dark! The dogs keep barking at cars as they’re crunching on...

internship & job

I got my school assignment for my internship. It’s pretty far away from where I live, but I’m excited because the school is a fancy one. It’s a “school of the arts,” but they have all the regular stuff too. The cool part is that they have arts as part of their core (required) instead of just electives. I’m excited to go there. We have the first introductory,...

last week of break

And I’ve got nothing pressing to do. It’s nice to have this feeling. I finished everything I wanted to do over break (like cleaning, holiday stuff, etc.) and I’m temporarily unemployed. So I’ve got nothing to do really. Just chilling. I’m going to be watching lots of movies/TV, applying for jobs, walking the dogs, and exercising. Tomorrow I’m going to the U.S....

“Whoever gets the Republican nomination could easily become president. Among the...”

– The Boston Globe’s endorsement of Jon Huntsman (via thedukeofyork) [I wish Jon Huntsman would get more media attention. He seems like the best candidate to me. All the rest seem dumb or douche-y.]

Just bought my textbooks for spring semester. Only cost me $16 because of the Amazon credit I got for selling back other textbooks ($110). All the other books I didn’t get, I’m going to borrow from the library instead of buying them. woo. Wow, break is going quickly :(

Job hunting.... again (sigh)

The folks at Target let me know that they couldn’t keep me on past seasonal. My last day is next Saturday. So I’m sad. Not surprised, but disappointed. Everybody was so nice there. Oh well… but the job hunt begins AGAIN. poop. I’m hoping to stay out of the food industry (unless it’s waitressing or busing; no hosting or being around food prep). I’m going to go to...
