Well, I'm tired. lol. Right now, I have TWO group projects at college. Argh. Hate group projects... In one class, my Essay Class, the group is me & three women. Our topic is Ads & their effect on women. So, ya, I'm pretty clueless on this project. Or so I thought anyway. My group doesn't really seem to know much more than I do. They do not have their act together at all. I finally got them all to talk to me on Sunday, but for awhile, I felt very ignored. lol. Turns out...they just don't have any clue what we're doing really.... As for the other group (Drama class)...I haven't met them yet. Last week, on Thursday, we were supposed to meet our group & talk about our project. Guess what? The two other members of my group did NOT show up for class. So, I didn't meet them. My teacher only knew who ONE of them was. She knew the last name of the other person, but not what they looked like. lol. Oh and she told me to e-mail them. So, I did e-mail them and....I have heard NOTHING from them. I will try to talk to the one person in the group that I "know". IF he isn't there, then I'll try to figure out who the other person is. IF that person is not there, then I'll get the teacher to switch me to another group...ugh. Have I mentioned how much I hate group projects? Oh and I know I'm complaining a lot, but I have to say that I really dislike the Drama class. Don't like the teacher at all (talks down to the students & treats us like grade schoolers or high schoolers) Also don't like my Poetry class. Mainly because of the teacher. I've never heard a teacher CUSS so much. lol. The essay class is OK, although I'm not liking the group project. The Shakespeare class is pretty good (expect for occassional night time movie viewings...) & the night class is good (although I wish it wasn't at night). So, its been one of those semsters. lol. Can't wait till its over! DF2506

make your report say "ads make folks not wanna show up for class!" too funny. I have gotten really good at tuning out ads. Number one they are too LOUD! the next complaint is the airwaves are full of ads for drugs that my doctor would have to prescribe. Since when should we be advertizing prescription products to the unwashed masses? They make men look like total idiots, and women look mean and catty (well, they are, but we dont need to point that out)
winter is coming fast here. on the clean up patrol.

Oh man, sorry Kik. I really should check these forums more! Happy late b-day! I hope it was good one! College has been crazy lately. Really dislike my Drama class. ugh. Its so horrible. Took a test in there recently and did really bad (I think, pretty sure). Plus, the teacher is just the WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. I am seriously thinking about dropping the class. I'm checking with my advisor and seeing if I can still drop it. Hope so. Its just an awful class. Not liking my poetry teacher either BUT I think I'll be able to get through that ok. Hope so. Can't drop two classes. lol. I would match rather roll the dice with the poetry class than with the drama class. Just don't know what would happen if I keep that drama class... So, I've been stressing about college work a lot lately. Stupid group projects, stupid drama class, not so fun poetry class. lol. The only two classes that are any good this semester are my Shakespeare class & my night class. Thats it. I'll have to try and be much more picky about my classes in my final semester. I know two teachers (maybe three) that I am going to avoid like the plague next semester. That said, I think I've found one teacher that I do really like (the guy who teaches the Shakespeare/night class). Maybe I'll see if I can take another course by him next semester! DF2506

My Father in Law died. he was a sweet, crabby, cantacorous old goat, but I liked him. He was more than half nuts, and would scream and carry on. Stubborn old goat. He fell at home, and had trouble getting around, so he was placed in a home not that long ago for rehab. He fell again, and broke his hip. From there to pnuemonia and straight down hill. He was really upset that no one was taking him home, spat venom at anyone who dared visit. TAKE ME HOME! He was bed bound and they slapped some diapers on him, and we think he saw and exit and took it. So, wake is tomorrow, and funeral on Friday. He was a hand full, but dangit, somehow we got along. on a brighter note, got a PS3 on Ebay. old style, so its completely backwards compatible. I lost the first go round, but the one who beat me never paid up. I got a 2nd chance, and after some negotiation on my part, I got a greater deal, and he threw in some games, and extra controllers and such. Woo! I cant wait. what is everyone else up to? btw DF I got lil big planet, can you explain this game to me?

Dej, its a basically a side-scrolling platformer at its heart. Think Mario, expect instead of Mario, you play as Sackboy, a customizable character that you can dress up any way that you like. Also with LittleBigPlanet, if you want, you can actually create your own platforming levels too. Or they don't even have to be platforming levels. There's all kinds of levels or non-levels that you can create with LBP. Oh and if creating isn't your thing, there are plenty of levels online that other people have made that you can play. Its just the game that keeps on giving! When you play through the game tutorials, it'll show you everything you need to know about the game. And the tutorials are pretty funny too. Just an awesome game. A MUST OWN for the PS3. Glad you got it with your PS3. Hope you enjoy it. Anyway, I have some updates on my college experiance. lol. I dropped the stupid Drama class. I just got to the point that I couldn't stand the teacher anymore, PLUS I was pretty sure I was going to fail the class because I didn't like the teacher and wasn't put my full effort into the class. Just an awful, awful, AWFUL teacher. My worst college experiance so far. Poetry class is going OK. Still don't care for the teacher, but I think I'll be ok with the class anyway. She's not quite as bad as the drama teacher. lol. This Monday, I have to turn in two poems for peer review for Tuesday. I am not a poet. My essay class, well, I am finally done with group projects. Well, mostly. lol. My essay teacher is having us do group peer review/conferences next week for a paper that we are supposed to be writing on our own. UGH. These teachers. My Shakespeare class is going pretty good. No complaints there. My night class is going ok too. I have to meet with the night class teacher on the 4th to talk about the final project in the class. Then we have one final meeting on the 6th. Then...NO MORE NIGHT CLASS!! Excellent. Otherwise, not much else to report. I will be glad when this semester is over. Though, with that drama class out of the way now, I'm not as worried about the semster. DF2506

OK, so major news from me. I have adopted a new kitty. This is my third kitty. His name is Smokey. We had him neutered, got his shots, and got him fixed up... but then I realized he was sick, really sick. He had an abscess, and infection located around his neck. He was taken back to the vet, and the pocket of infection was lanced, and drained. He's doing better, but he's still not well. I have to soak his wound in an Epsom salt wash several times a day. He also gets antibiotics twice daily. If we hadn't have brought him in, he would have died for sure. I feel happy that I saved his life. It's a bit of a strain, but he's worth it. Granny seems rather fond of him too... which is surprising. She doesn't like Sugar at all. Also, I'm cat sitting for the next 10 days. A baby kitty! It's my Mother's cat, and she'll prob give him away later, but it's fun to have a baby in the house again. He's so cute, and has the attitude of a wild tiger. Will post more pics later. Keep your fingers crossed for Smokey's health!

Triple post! *alarms go off*
Came home after babysitting, and Smokey greeted me for the first time in days. Then proceeded to snuggle like he used to, so I know he's starting to feel better. Hurray!

Yay for kitties!
We just got our little Kefka girl back from the vet. Had to have her declawed and spayed. I didnt want to do the claws but omg she claws the hell out of us. She has done nothing but sleep. Though yesterday I about killed her. We had company over and she hid like normal. But when they left out comes Kefka covered in Soot. Our little white kitty decided to go black. I cannot believe she hid in the freaking fireplace. Ugh. I thought we had it secure so she couldnt get in there. Guess not.
THe vet said to let her clean herself because its only been a week and they were afraid trying to use soap would be a bad idea. Plus she still has back claws and I for one would rather not lose an arm trying to give that demon kitty a bath. Last time I did the cut was bleeding for days.

Kitty updates... Smokey is doing better, his lanced wound has scabbed over, but another wound opened up on his ear, but it's also healing. He's in better spirits, eating, purring, cuddling, etc.
Rebecca didn't like me keeping the kitten, so I passed the buck to Granny. She's got her hands full.
