I don’t like this week. I have too much to do, and I didn’t get anything done over the weekend because we had a big religious convention all weekend and my parents were here for it, so even after the religious stuff was done, I was hanging with my parents. Because of this, I barely studied for my quiz that was on Monday, but hopefully I did okay on it; I think I did. I have a four page paper due Thursday, and I’m still iffy on my topic… and my midterm is on Friday.
Frank was telling me I should’ve just taken both my summer classes during the first summer session, but with just this one class’ assignments piling up on me, I wouldn’t want a second class to worry about too. If I had taken a second class, this weekend probably would’ve killed my grades.
I watched 27 Dresses this weekend and I LOVED it! Especially the ode’s to Elton John haha. It was an awesome movie, so I decided I need to catch up on the recent romantic comedies. Frank doesn’t like them, plus we’re both skint, so I haven’t seen many movies recently. I’ve like Katherine Heigl ever since I saw her in Wish Upon a Star, the old Disney movie, but my respect for James Marsden went up.
Since the end of this fiscal year is ending at the library (and everywhere else) this weekend, my boss told me I could come in and work a couple long days, so I’m going in on Saturday, and hopefully Sunday too, to work 6 hour days to make a little extra, but I’m not sure how many hours I’m going to get once I get my work-study paperwork in. Hopefully at least 14, because that’s not even enough for all my bills…. Bleh. I hate paying for everything with my credit card. It feels so immature, but the truth is I just don’t have the money and no one down here is hiring.
Speaking of that, Frank had a job interview scheduled for yesterday and they called him a half hour beforehand to say, nevermind because they filled the position. That’s super-lame if you ask me, but Frank says he bets the person they hired knew someone else who worked there. Most likely. Probably nepotism at it’s finest.
So I plugged the page I did because of the recent blog on Shaq’s rap about Kobe. As much as I hate Kobe and love the Suns, the rap’s kinda dumb. I didn’t listen to it that closely, but just the “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” is a tad ridiculous. I’m just gonna link it, cause I don’t particularly want it on my page haha.
Okay, Frank is nagging me about starting my paper, and I guess he’s right. I don’t want to be stuck with all four pages left to write by tomorrow night. OH, but I’m excited because of the Before You Know It software I plugged in an earlier post, I know 14 animals in Greek and I can write them and everything haha. silly me.
4 more days till my new phone – I CANNOT WAIT!

Frank and I have been walking to school in the morning. It’s nice, but yesterday we walked from his house and it was super hot. I haven’t been sunburned in a long time, but after the 40 minute walk to class and the 40 minute walk back from class in a tank top, it happened. Yay for freaky tan lines. I thought it was going to hurt a lot today, but luckily it doesn’t. Now I’m just sitting here watching the Braves game with Frank even thought I don’t like baseball…
So I saw an article about Cherlize Theron saying that she was “slamming” other actors, when she said
“It comes across as this really sad need for approval. I’ve heard people make comments like, ‘You don’t really want to be in the tabloids but you need to be for your career.’ They believe it’s actually important. It’s not. It’s ugly.”
I don’t think that is “slamming” other famous people. It’s true! Wanting to be in the tabloids seems to me, like a quest for attention too, and personally I don’t think that bad attention is worth it. I guess I’m not someone who likes to be the center of attention anyway. I’d much rather be the best friend of the person in the limelight, but maybe that’s just me.
The Suns finally have a new coach. I’m a little scared. I know we need to work on defense, but I’m afraid other things will slip. My boyfriend and his roommate were saying we need to get rid of Diaw or Barbosa, but at least they stepped up in the finals against the Spurs. Our “top three” didn’t. Not that I want Nash, Stat, or Shaq to leave. Well, actually Shaq didn’t do what he was supposed to, so whatever. I guess my point is that for this all to work, with a new coach, everyone needs to freaking step up.
So, I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and he was saying that he has applied to 8 or 9 places down here and no one has even called him back. After we talked about that I started getting scared that I’m never going to get a job down here, but I really need one. So I emailed my nice boss at the library to ask if theres a chance that I could work there this summer even though I said a month ago that I wasn’t going to. So I at least have a job until the end of June, but I need to go see him to figure out when I’m going to work. I really like not working though haha. It’s nice going to school and then coming home and just doing nothing, or cleaning. I’d make a good housewife haha.
After reading the Iliad today I really want to go to the library and get other books. I keep forgetting to take my library card with me to school, though and Frank doesn’t want to walk back over there today 
I want to read, but I want to finish reading Wicked!
So I also read today on AOL (I hate AOL, but it has a good news page) that the US life expectancy is behind 30 some other countries. Japan has the number 1 life expectancy with 83 years old. I’ve decided I’m blaming the fast food world, along with the lethargic life style. I know that’s my problem haha. Being overweight just causes SO many other health problems! From things like diabetes, and heart failure, to something I had to deal with this year. When I gained weight at the beginning of this year I noticed my feet were hurting, but not in a normal way – the top of my feet were hurting and I was literally limping. That’s when I had to stop wearing flip flops 24/7 and start wearing tennis shoes again.
So anyway, if you couldn’t tell I don’t have much in my own life to talk about today haha. I haven’t fixed my car yet. Frank is going to look underneath my car and see if something with the gear shift is loose, but we have to wait until I can call my dad and he can explain what frank should look for. Anyway, I finally need to go unpack my bags and clean my room, so I’m going to go do that.

Plugging: The Un-Shy Introvert
So, as a classics major, I had two classes this semester with Dr. David Soren. I took his Roman Archeology class and his Art in Cinema class, and that’s where we watched this video clip: Slaughter on 10th Avenue.
Dr. Soren really loves Vera-Ellen – the girl dancer, while I love Gene Kelly! Ever since I saw Gene Kelly in Xanadu, I’ve loved him 
Anyway, I’m not a dancer so when I first watched the clip I thought it was interesting, but weird. As time goes on though, I find myself looking this clip up on You Tube. I really love it!
I’m leaving for Phoenix tonight, and then in the morning it is off to San Diego for a friend’s wedding. I’m really excited for it! And then when I get back to Phoenix on Sunday, it will be off to Tucson where I get to see my beautiful boyfriend again yay! I’ve loved seeing my parents, and friends, and my sister even though she hates me, but being home with the extra family – I’m definitely glad to be done with that!! So I packed up my car, and now I just have, basically, my computer to pack up and my library books to take back, and I’ll be done.
I put in an application at a hotel yesterday and I’m hoping they’ll call me soon!! I really need a job. I’m also hoping Frank gets a job soon because if he doesn’t, he’ll probably go back to his parents house in July when he’s done with summer school. It will be so lonely if that happens! So I’m just hoping for jobs for both of us!
I went to lunch with my sister’s ex today. I knew him in high school and then they were dating for a year and a half, but she broke up with him. Both him, and I are very sad about that. While I’ve been home we’ve gone to lunch and analyzed the situation. It’s a weird freaking situation, and after our first lunch I felt pretty productive, but today I felt helpless and so did he so it was kind of sad. I really like the guy and I want him to be willing to wait for my sister, but on the other hand, he shouldn’t have to and I’m going to be sad if he does wait around to no avail. Psssh, sisters. and relationships. I feel bad not knowing what to tell him. Oh well, I guess.
Today or in the next few days, I think I’m going to add my checklist of things I want to get done this summer. I’m excited to get to read, and do silly arts and crafts projects, and silly “challenges” on the Sims 2. I want to learn how to knit again and I really want to make a scrapbook, but I don’t really have the money to do too much of one, plus I don’t know what or who I would make it for, so I probably shouldn’t start on it. The only “scrapbooks” I’ve done were as graduation presents for my 4 best friends during our senior year. They were kind of scrapbooks, but they were also planners for their first year of college. I’m not sure if any of them actually used them, but I don’t think I actually want to know, because I have a feeling that one of them may have thrown it away (not maliciously, just because she likes to keep things uncluttered). The next time I make a scrapbook it will be much better, though.
Alright, I’m going to start on my summer checklist since I’ll have to finish packing soon.
