F$%@!

F$%@! My hip hurts. Ugh. I haven’t been wearing my Flector patch for a week… maybe that’s it. I only have a few pads left, so I’ve been saving it until I get my new prescription filled and also it’s not exactly the sexiest thing to wear on a date. It hurts so bad I just wanna stab my hip bone with Novocaine or something. I don’t know if they do that, but it seems like (in theory) it would help. Ok, enough is enough – I’m going to my car and getting a patch.

Wed-nes-day

Wednesday's classroom

Wed-nes-day. I still say the syllables to myself when I say it. Same with tomorrow… tom-or-row. Hah. Anyways.

Slammed all day at work Wednesday. Tons of projects, shipments, and incoming calls. I was stoked when it was finally my lunch hour.

I met CS on my break. In addition to picking me some super pretty wildflowers, he brought all kinds of yummy fresh fruits, veggies, and our shared guilty pleasure – licorice. It was the perfect lunch in the park.

wildflowers

Later on after work, I went to class. Financial Accounting with Professor Henry Schulman. It’s gonna be rad. My professor is really passionate, funny, and he can hear. A lot of my previous professors have been borderline deaf, and it’s really frustrating to stay engaged in the lecture when people are having to repeat themselves over and over.

That being said, he explained the entire accounting process last night. He took up the entire whiteboard and it was a ton of information BUT I soaked it all in like a sponge. He’s a really good teacher.

I stole this off his Facebook page - Meet Professor Schulman!

That reminds me… I need to buy the book. I was putting it off as long as I could because it’s a gosh darn custom copy (made just for Grossmont College) and it’s insanely expensive, especially considering it’s a freakin loose leaf text (for which I need to buy a binder). Wah.

Is the week over yet? Sheesh…

Intermediate Algebra!

Professor Minor's faculty picture

Intermediate Algebra class was last night. I love it. I have Professor James (Jim) Minor. He speaks clearly, he’s easy to understand, and he is entertaining. I think it’s gonna be a great semester. I mean, I’m pretty pumped about it. I already have my book that I bought a few weeks back for $20 on Amazon. (It’s $100 used in the bookstore.) I’m glad I got the book early because now I can actually do the homework when I have a free moment, and not just when I can get to the library to use the loaner book.

Cheapest book yet! $20 on Amazon!

Gah. I have to buy a graphing calculator though… you know, one of the Texas Instrument ones you had in like, your senor year of high school? Er, well, maybe that was just my school. Speaking of which, I can now get a phone that takes freaking pictures and sends them all over the world for like, $50… SO WHY ARE GRAPHING CALCULATORS STILL $100??

OMG they come in pink. I DIE.

Ugh. I guess I should be happy that a future purchase I’m about to make holds it’s value well, but sheesh, isn’t the price of technology supposed to go down over time? I remember the TI-83 or TI-84 I bought ten years ago was $100!! Ehh, ok, enough bitching about the price of calculators. Time to get to work. Hugs and Happy Hump Day!!

Back to School

Meet my Travalo!

I go back to school this week – it’s the beginning of the Spring semester. I’ve got class on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights after work. I’m taking a total of 12 units. Yeah… I’ve got some long days in my future.

I’ve gotten off to a lovely head start today…

I managed to dump an entire 24oz Tervis Tumbler of coffee on my tights and dress. Rad. Thankfully, they’re both dark and it’s not noticeable.

In other news…

CS + CC

I got my Travalo I ordered on the Daily Grommet site. A friend of mine ordered one and I thought it was genius when I saw it. Therefore, I cannot wait to try it out. I can take a little bit of a new scent home with me now before I purchase it. Yay!!

Did I mention it’s been freezing? Seriously. San Diego is super cold this week. I’ve had… the heater, my electric blanket, and even my space heater on at work! I actually brought the space heater I keep under my desk with me to an empty cubicle yesterday so I could read and be warm. See?

red gel mani

My boyfriend (aka CS) came over last night. We watched some stuff on Netflix  (Dr. 90210!!!) and I did red gel on my nails and toes. It was the first time I did the red, and only the second time doing the gel myself and I gotta say – they came out really good! I don’t think I’ll be going to the salon to get gel done anymore unless it’s like, a special treat or something.

I have math class tonight. I’m pretty excited. I am pretty sure I have a really good teacher and I already have the book. I’m super prepared. That being said, the day is going by really fast. It feels like I just got here!

So just now?

I got to have lunch with CS. He has a break from class the same time I have my lunch hour and his school is within walking distance of my work… it works out pretty well. Yay.

Alright, well, I suppose I should get some work done this afternoon. Wish me luck tonight!
