4 days till Christmas

I turned 20 today!

I had a nice, low key birthday. I had Becky and Yining over. We went
and saw King Kong. I liked King Kong a LOT. It definitely was well
done. It was a bit long, though, but good none-the-less.

For my birthday I got a new stereo, two horse calendars (I like
calendars and you can never have too many!), M&M candy dispenser
(it's pretty cool), time to go see HP in iMax theater, Message edition
of the Bible, horse night light (it's like a stain glass type),
homemade wine, chocolate, cute PJs, and some other stuff.

The new stereo was nice. I've missed my ol' stereo since it died on me.
It died a few months ago. The CD changer inside doesn't work. It'll
play CDs, but it won't change or eject CDs. Everything else on it
works, though! It was sad. It was at LEAST 5-6 years old, though. I
got its use out.

I like all my gifts!

It will be weird thinking of myself as 20, though. I'm not a teenager
anymore. I suddenly feel old in some way. I dunno. Oh well. Can't go
back and I have no regrets!

Oh, work...goodness...I'm gonna die or something. Work has been SO
stressful lately! I'm starting to get a headache just THINKING about
it. Customers haven't been too bad, yet. I'm thinking tomorrow and
Friday are going to be hell days. People are going to be stressed to
find a gift and we won't have something. *rolls eyes* We are selling a
lot though, which is kind of surprising. With gift cards and on-line
shopping, I figured we wouldn't sell as much, but we are. People still
like that personal touch, apparently. There's not too many funny
stories. Mostly they're customers who are being dumb. There have been
some really nice customers I've liked though and some odd ones, but
it's been pretty good. I'll write up some stories lately. I'm tired.

All for now.

8 Days till my 20th birthday
12 days till Christmas

I'm DONE with this semester!!! YAY!!! I'm FINISHED! It feels SO nice! 6 weeks of NO school.

Grades so far:
SBS: A
Chem lab: A+

Guesses:
Chem: A+
SL: A
ASL: A
HPWE: A+

I'm hoping for a nice 4.0 this semester. We'll see if it works or not. So far, I have almost a 96% in ASL. I'm still missing my iMovie/Mask assignment which is worth a lot so we'll see what I get on that and if it'll change my grade. The last time I looked at my grade in HPWE it was an A+. I was short 3 points from a perfect and since then, depending on my paper, I still was short those 3 points. She gives an A+ at 96% or something. Chem, going into the final, I had 72 extra points. The final was worth 130 points. PLUS she grades on a curve. So who knows what I'll get now. I don't see why I shouldn't get an A in SL too. I've been doing well on all the assignments. So, there we go. My hope is a 4.0 with a few A+'s.

All for now!

I'm hoping this is easier to read than the other picture I had. I had a mostly white background one, but white is the new blinder and it was voted not to put it up.

2 days till I'm done with this semester
10 days till my 20th birthday
14 days till Christmas

YAY!!! So...Classes...I'm finished with my SBS class. I have an A in the class! I'm done with my health class. Dunno what I got in it though. I'm assuming an A. Finished with that class last Tuesday. I'm done with ASL. My teacher got really sick so he can't come in tomorrow or Tuesday to give our exit dialogues. So I turned in my ASL video tonight and I have to turn in a hard copy "self-grade" sheet and then I'm finished. I've finished my take home SL final. So tomorrow I go to class, turn that in and sit and watch some presentations. Tuesday is my Chem final and then I'm FINISHED!!! It feels so good to be almost done. I swore I thought I was going to die from this semester. I've been so stressed out lately.

I gotta try and sell back some books tomorrow. I'm hoping they'll take all my books I bought this semester. Most of them aren't textbooks, but more like non-fiction stuff. We'll see if they do or not. I won't get a whole lot back for them, but it's better than nothing! I'm going to try and put my old Chem textbook up on half.com too. Though it's an old edition of a book now. Who knows. Anything is better than nothing!

I'm working Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week. Some how my GM found out that I might get out of school early this week. I don't know HOW she found out about that. She called me and asked if I could work any extra days this week. I told her Thursday. So I get to work 12-7pm on Thursday, 4pm-12:30am Friday, and 1-9pm on Saturday.

I'm done with my Christmas shopping too! Yay for me!

Whelps, that's all for now. Write more some other time.

8 days till I'm done with the Fall of 2005
15 days till my 20th birthday
19 days till Christmas

I'm going to survive this semester, I'm going to survive this semester, I'm going to survive this semester...So far I'm keeping up with everything. I'm looking more towards next week than this week! The only thing I'm dreading for next week is my 10 minutes of signing with my ASL professor. That's going to be the LONGEST 10 minutes of my life.

So far, I've got an A in every class. Who knows after this week though. I've some more major assignments due in various classes. The only classes I'm worried about is ASL and SBS. I'm borderline right now in SBS (almost a 92%) and I have almost a 95% in ASL, but he hasn't entered in 3 grades yet. Those are 3 BIG grades too (not including our iMovie which is worth two assignments and is due Wednesday and Friday).

I've also maintained a 2-3 am bedtime since last Thursday, too. I'm partially up so late because of homework and the other one is because I'm so stressed out and worried I just can't fall asleep. It's the pits.

Any ways, gotta go work on some homework. Going to try and go to sleep around 1 am tonight. I have class tomorrow at 10am.

This looks to be the new background picture I'm going to use, unless I find time to put the other one I wanted. It's not up because it was just too hard to find a quick font color that you could still read without straining to read. It had a lot of alternating between white and dark brown/black. I like this picture though. I might try to find a better font color than white, but for now the white will have to suffice. It takes way too much time finding a font that works.

I, also, took off the flooble comments-message thing. I figured I'm never going to redo the flooble thing so I'd take it off. I ended up with a ton of room to the right of the screen now.

HAPPY DECEMBER!
