so after suffering through a summer with no air conditioning i was really looking forward to the winter... my car may not be able to pump out any cool air but it can blast out 90 degree air like it's nothing. i've been biding my time and riding with my windows down, wearing my hat to keep my hair from going nuts. so today was the coldest day that we've had all year, and i was really looking forward to taking advantage of my heat, only to find that (surprise, surprise) there is something wrong with it too. maybe it is because i haven't used the air in months, but i turned it on and it just sat there for a few seconds, then kind of power surged, shutting off the radio for a second... then sat there... then surged... nothing, nothing, nothing. it's going to be a long, cold winter.
it's all just too much...
i was doing fine all this past weekend. i think tuesday is when things started getting a little... stretched. two tests on wednesday. then a paper due wednesday. now a paper due today. then two tests on monday. and a presentation next wednesday. then a test over 15 chapters on thursday. someone shoot me now...
i have had a constant headache since tuesday afternoon, and as i drove home from class last night i suddenly figured out why... my jaw was actually clenched. i've been biting down hard for two days as my panic and stress have grown and grown. i don't remember ever being so unnerved by something as simple, as easy, as trivial as school... but the thing is, for the first time since highschol, school isn't trivial.
i drove around all day today in my moms minivan. she has those ribbon bumper magnets on the back. one says "support the troops," one says "support organ donation," and another says "pray for our priests." all this is capped off by an anti-abortion sticker on the bumper. i stood there today staring at them all and feeling kinda weird driving around, as if somone would think they're mine. then i thought... can't priests pray for themselves?
one of my marketing group projects is on a small cable/internet/telephone provider in north ga. i've been doing demographics research all week and realized i'm glad i don't live there.
i'm all over the place today...
my phone email has been blowing up lately. it's funny because the only place i've really used that email is at school. then during a class discussion the other day someone mentioned that the school sells student emails and any other ones that are registered with the school to third parties as a revenue booster for the school... and i'm still trying to figure out why my tuition is going up because they are clearly getting their monies worth.
so here is one of the fun emails i got today on my phone... i don't know where they come up with this stuff...

oddly enough, the email was for a penis enlargement patch... ummmm, right.
