small celebrations

The past couple of days I have been extremely tired and lethargic. I'm not sure if it's the combination of working until 4pm everyday then going to class from 5 to 9pm every evening with litte time in between that is finally catching up with me, but my yawns have not been inconspicuous. I was studying the wonderful text of Accounting today, just about to discover the appropriate use for the ridiculously riveting Operating Leverage Formula when suddenly all I could see was a blurry blend of contribution margins and sales and high low methods. My head hit the book and I took a good 5 minute power nap. at work. The humming consistency of printers served as a sweet lullaby.

I woke up approximately 5 minutes later to an unwelcomed voice asking me to unjam the printer. I obliged, only to realize that I'm not very technologically inclined, but can easily hit a printer and press buttons until it starts working again (something that the average person could do without waking me up from my slumber). I was still feeling pretty apathetic when I remembered that Jennifer said she might be bringing me a coffee home from Starbucks for my "break" in between work and school. Thinking of the coffee sitting in the fridge at home...just waiting for me... ah, the suspense.

HAPPY.

Jennifer Sterrett, you are my hero.

I started watching Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets online (I'm watching all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time and they are actually quite good) because I could not bear to find out the ugly truth about Operating Leverage: unless you are an accounting major, there really is no need for this in every day life. In fact, even if you are an accounting major, you will graduate only to find that what you learned has become obsolete anyway. Wow, Daniel Radcliffe's voice is already changing in the second HP movie. Interesting.

44 minutes and 38 seconds through Chamber of Secrets a cheerful-regardless-of-having-to-wake-up-at-four-thirty-in-the-morning Jennifer comes into the lab holding in her hand none other than Starbucks. Coffee Generosity=Glorious day. Being room mates with a Starbucks employee definitely has its perks. Not to mention sometimes I get to wear The Infamous Barista Apron. After "borrowing" jump drives from the lost and found of the computer lab area, Jennifer was on her way home to our humble abode for a well deserved nap. And I am much more awake now thanks to my coffee fix.

The little things are truly worth celebrating.

Summer school starts for me tomorrow and that means that starting tomorrow, every Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 5pm to 9pm will be spent at MCC taking Managerial Accounting. Can i please just ramble about my disgust......because I am thoroughly disgusted.

I'm going to Ktizzle this weekend to get my bed/dresser/desk and other furniture items that the parentals deem worthy of my taking. I'M MOVING IN THIS WEEKEND. I am so incredibly excited to move into a new apartment and decorate! My previous apartment was all right, but we didn't really go all out in the decorating department or anything like that -there weren't even curtains on the balcony window. It was also a furnished apartment so we couldn't really expand in that category, but this new apartment (3 bedroom instead of 4) has serious design potential. Ha, I laugh as I say that about a 3 bedroom college apartment with a tiny kitchen and relatively small living room. But even so, I think that Jennifer and Vanessa and I can turn it into something wonderful. Worth showing off to our friends at least. And NO PENGUIN COLLECTIONS.

Brian visited me at work today. brought me a smoked peppercorn turkey on 7 grain toasted wheat bread with mustard. It was my second sandwich for the day. I had one for breakfast when I got to work (at 9am) so I figure that as long as I do the whole breakfast, lunch, dinner thing, i'm golden. I usually snack all day.

The lab is closed tomorrow AND Thursday so I get 2 days off to pack...and go to summer school in the evening. Ugh, why do I have to think about class in the summer?! I need boxes. boxes boxes boxes. My car is also already packed full of stuff I have been buying for the past month - throw pillows, the infamous thrift store lamp, kitchen canisters, mugs for my mug collection (i think im going to take pictures of it at some point and post them), some books, and much much more.

Today was Michael Jackson's memorial service. I just thought I should mention that because the death of such a well known icon has sent shockwaves across the world. not just America, but the world, people. I don't mean to sound like the million and one other people who seem to have known Michael Jackson personally, but to his family and close friends, God Bless you and the world mourns your loss today. MJ will be missed.

I haven't been to the humane society in about a month and I don't think Sally is there anymore :( Sally is the rottweiler that I had been visiting at the humane society quite frequently. Her name card/description had said that she "appeared depressed." I wanted to cry (and sometimes did) each time I left the humane society and had to leave Sally. If you weren't aware, I am a huge dog-lover...and I legitimately feel like I made a connection with Sally. Now I think she is gone. They don't practice euthanasia at the Waco Humane Society so I can only pray that she found a good home. I love rottweilers and I hate the bad rep that they have received because of so many cruel and inhumane owners who use them for dogfighting. If you research rotts, you will find that they are some of the most loyal, friendly, and eager to please dogs. It's years of people using them in dogfighting that has caused them to have that "mean" instinct.
On a happier note, I am baking a cake tonight. and it's also Taco Tuesday. :)

zesty

I have a wonderful job.

The definition of wonderful involves a lot of sitting, talking, facebook stalking, texting, and dr. pepper floats.

I work in the computer lab of Hankamer Business School at Baylor University and my expert job title is "lab attendant." wow. so official. I cannot describe to you all of the responsibility and effort that comes with such a job as this. Sometimes I am even forced to put a new ink cartridge into a printer. Okay, you got me...that has not happened ... yet.

at first i was only getting about 25 hours a week...that was no bueno. But I have recently inflated that number to about 38 hours a week :) Before tomorrow my schedule is 11-4 M-F ... but starting tomorrow my schedule is 9-4 M-F, Saturdays I have off, and Sundays 5-8pm :) I am pretty excited about my hours! WHOO

TONIGHT IS A GOOD NIGHT. ITS TUESDAY.
what is so great about tuesday? okay okay I will tell you: $.50 movie and $3.33 taco place at Rosa's. LEGIT!! and $1.00 hot dogs at the movie. Can I just please ramble about how happy food and movie and snack for $5 makes me??? it makes me really happy. I'm going to see 17 again...okay dont make fun of me. I vowed that I would NEVER see a movie with Zac Efron in it (not only is he a star of High School Musical, but he is a completely unattractive douchebaggery little kid who frosts his hair.) ... however, I yahoo-movied 17 again and guess what? Yahoo users gave it an A-. OKAY THAT IS WHAT DARK KNIGHT RECEIVED. Any movie that has the same user rating as the likes of hottie heath (God rest his soul) and Boondock Saints and such...well, i think that i deserve to see it. and for 50 cents....i think that is almost an insult to it, so i'll take it. hahaha. Zac Efron is still an undesireable little frog in my opinion but I will insult him for 50 cents.

JENNIFER IS BACK FROM INDIA ... this makes me so happy! She is teaching me all about converting dollars to rupis. It is 1 dollar for every 50 rupis. This is a good bargain. She visited me at work at my oh so stressful job for like 2hours and I got to inspect her new purse. SO CUTE. it was only like _______ rupis, which converts to only 20 bucks. legit. she said she got me a scarf and bracelet too ... exciting :) I am about to be so cultured with an Indian scarf and Indian bracelet. Watch out Obama.... (not sure why I said that). So now that 3rd future roomie is back in waco, operation move in and buy furniture can commence. wheee.

Last time I went to Rosa's Tacos I got really stuffed. I think that is because I had a hot dog at the FIFTY CENT -no, not the rapper- movie right before we went to get 3.33 taco plate. and listen to this children: they give you 1)3 hard or soft chicken or beef tacos; 2)2 EXTREMELY DELICIOUS TORTS (aka tortilla...no, we're not getting arrested from Rosa's for TORTIOUS CRIMES); 3)rice and beans (i get double rice because I do not like beans); 3)unlimited supply of salsa and guac! it is quite a bargain, isn't it?

Another bright spot: ESKIMO HUT. Lindsay and I are going to make that a frequent occurance. We went yesterday and got a delicious treat called starburst with way too much something in it and then she came back to work with me.. It was a great representation of the Baylor Student Body: We brink alcohol to our campus jobs. Since orientation is going on. Speaking of Orientation, how many more people are we going to have to point in the direction of kayser auditorium?!? I'm not joking...literally there are huge signs in the lobby that say KAYSER on them and for some reason people miss them? c'mon people, we thought you were coming to Baylor because you were bright. Go to A&M if you don't know directions...or can't read. Thank you.

Have a good day, Blogster.
