Geez talk about a long break, huh? This is why I suck at this whole blogging thing. I get busy and my blog suffers. If you notice my last post is pretty much right before school started, and now here I am, after midterms. I should be reading The Last Days of Socrates, but I really don’t want to. Thucydides killed my spirit already tonight. That is one of the worst reads ever!!! My teacher was saying he did not pick the Steven Lattimore translation for its readability (of course not! that would be too nice). Thucydides takes away my will to learn. UGH.
Anywho, so I actually started Greek and I must say, I’m doing pretty darn good. Today’s quiz was definitely not my best though. If I had learned grammar a little better when I was learning English, this wouldn’t be so difficult, but since I have a hard time figuring out what nominative vs. accusative cases are in English, it makes it difficult to do in Greek. Tomorrow night our class is going to Big Fat Greek Restaurant and it’s on the University. I wish it wasn’t during the Suns game though!!! Well, hopefully that will be kinda fun. Outside-of-class-class-events are always a little awkward though.
OH! And my car is fixed! Now, I believe it was fixed the last time I blogged (but as I established that was FOREVER ago). My car broke twice since then, I’m pretty sure. Maybe even three times. But I got a new battery and Frank put it in for me and now its working! I’m mobile again! And the best part?
I GET TO GET MY NEW CAR NEXT WEEKEND!!! That’s right, I’m trading in my pink Rabbit. While I love it and really don’t want to let it go, it’s 30 years old and not that reliable. I’m going to let the girl across the street from my parents buy it cause I like her, and that was one of my biggest things about selling my car. I didn’t want it to go to just any girl. I’m excited to be able to go places now! I could drive to Phoenix if I needed to. I could drive to California if I wanted to! This will be really good for when my sister has her baby too. I can leave as soon as she goes into labor, and be there 4 hours later (hopefully!).
I guess I actually should get to finishing my homework since it’s getting late.

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!

My LG phone has now put itself permanently into “CAR KIT” mode and I have tried numerous ways to try to get it out, to no avail.
I found a forum where other people are obviously having the same problem (although that isn’t my exact phone), but of course I still have no answer.
Basically with “CAR KIT,” I have no sound for text messages or when my phone boots up, but I can hear my phone ring and my alarm go off. BUT when I get or make phone calls, I can’t hear the other person and the other person can’t hear me. So I kinda just have a beeper right now. I can send messages and that’s it. GRRRR
And it looks as though the forum is saying that there is either moisture in my phone (which there isn’t) or there is something wrong with the charging port, which there is. Back in, like, December or even longer than that, I noticed my phone wasn’t holding as much of a charge, and when I went to a Verizon store they told me that the charger port had been ruined, kind of. The little metal bars, or whatever, in the port – some of them were bent up. So, I guess this is just my continual punishment for ruining that.
So, back to the title of my blog: Thank God I only have 8 more days until I get my new phone.
Anywho, I took a quiz for my class on Tuesday(?) and I realized Tuesday night that I had forgotten to answer one of the parts. The IDs said to answer 5/8 and I only answered 4. I got my quiz back today and I got a 90%. Totally lucky. I couldn’t believe it. Unfortunately, as it is a summer class, and therefore sped-up, I have another quiz Monday, a paper due Thursday and my midterm on Friday. BLEH.
My parent’s are here this weekend for a church thing. It’s good to see them again, but I just saw them haha. I kinda wish it could’ve been a couple weeks from now, just cause I really don’t know when the next time I’ll see them is. It may be as far away as Labor Day weekend when we go to Hatch for the Chile Festival.
Bleh. I have to get up early and I’m mad about my phone, so I’m off to bed.

Yay! I finally started reading Wicked again, but I realized when I started reading it again that it has been so long that I just have to reread all the stuff I read before. I want to read a lot of it today since I have another week of school again. Bleh. I like that my class is only almost 2 hours a day (and actually since my teacher is fifteen minutes late every day and gives us a ten minute break in between it’s really only an hour and twenty minutes), and having it from 9 to 11 is nice because I get it over with early, but five days a week in painful. I’ve got to live up the weekend I guess.
And we did last night. A few of Franks friends came over and so did Michelle, so we were up until after 2 am doing… various things. I woke up at 10:30 though when my sister texted me and was ready to get up… now I’m the only one up and I’m hungry, but I don’t know what to eat or anything. Boring.
So Big Fish just came on and I’ve never seen it. I remember I wanted to see it so bad when it first came out. And now my sunburn has turned into my lopsided tan. I also got some really big news the other day, and of course I can’t talk about it. I hate that! You get big news, but people don’t want to tell others until later.
Well, yeah. Work was good yesterday. My boss said there was four hours of work, but I kind of didn’t believe him until I got there. I’d much rather be busy at work than searching for things to do. That’s why I always loved doing the wall changes at Linens N Things, where everything had to be moved and re-tagged and stuff. It’s always tedious stuff, but I kind of like the tedious stuff haha.
I think I’m going to go eat now. I’m getting to hungry to keep waiting for Frank. And I can’t think of anything particularly good or interesting to blog about.
