Wow, that last post was a while ago!
I've been so busy...I can't even think straight. As some of you know, I run a forum for about 10 other friends so we can keep in contact with each other and I can't keep up with that! Let alone everything else...
It's 3:30am and I'm waiting for my terrible, I mean terrible, annotated bibliography to be printed out. I did summaries for the summary (ironic) and for the relevance. Good thing this thing won't be due for me till Thursday by noon. I just hope she doesn't do a preliminary "check" on our "rough" drafts tomorrow before class. I have everything else completed except the summary and relevance.
I'm also behind in my CST class. I somehow didn't get to start developing my webpage on dreamweaver. So that means I have to design a webpage (according to my professors instructions) and design my class portfolio webpage too. This is all with a program I haven't dealt with a whole lot or done the reading on. GO ME! Good thing I'm a fast learner or I'd be in big, big trouble. I've got to get the pre-designed webpage completed by Wednesday. To work on my own and to get the discussion assignment completed.
I have all this work, these huge projects, and I just feel perpetually tired and behind in everything. I'm trying to stay on top of things, but when Thursday rolls around, I just feel so deflated. I work so hard late Sat night to Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening and Saturday are like my days off! I just need to really kick it into gear. I'm not doing bad grade wise, I just need to keep up on everything. I also need to study biology a bit more. I pulled another almost-all-nighter to study for my biology test (last Wednesday) and I'm kind of worried what I got on the test...*shrugs* I'm fairly sure I got at least a C, but who knows.
Well, this post will have to end here. I'm about to drop dead from exhaustion (I have class at 8:30 am and it's 3:35 am now; I have to get up around 8 am) and my printing is complete.

Save me...
I'm officially stressed out.
It's after 1:30am and I'm trying to complete my CST lab so all I have to do is my assignment on Sunday when I get home (let's hope I can get that done in 5 hours -- like that'll happen). I'm stressed because I'm going to be without electricity and the Internet Friday evening-Sunday morning. I need my computer to finish this CST assignment! It's really only the animation and the initial composite that's the problem. The other 2 parts are pretty easy. 1 is to just change my composite using different techniques in two different styles/moods. Another is to make my composite photos (the 3 of them) into a Web Photo Gallery through PhotoShop. The composite will take a while because I have to make it to show a "facet of my personality." I have NO clue what to portray. Making the animation itself isn't hard. It's getting 15 thumbnails and altering most of my photos is the problem. I'm just glad I got my Lab3 done and the Discussion Assignment done. I don't have to worry about those. I just have to turn in my Lab3 when I get home.
I'm also stressed out because I just finished my 3rd week of classes and I feel like I'm hardly learning anything. LoL. I have a bio exam on Wednesday! I don't feel confident in that test at ALL. I also need to catch up on GIS and read all the material. I've been doing the exercises because it's one of those "click the red toolbox. Do you see all the trays in there? Click the one that says "project." " So...I kind of "space" while doing them. I will say...they can wake me up every once in a while!
I'm also writing a paper a WEEK for my 300 class! How insane is that? This week I actually had 2 papers due (3 pages each) and I ended up writing 2 pages for my CST discussion assignment. I haven't written this much in a LONG time (about 2 years).
On top of school, also, this is the first week I have NOT worked more than 20 hours at work. I only worked 4. :P I'm only supposed to work 14 a week. I'm still helping that lady too. I really enjoy helping her. She's really nice, but sometimes it just gets crazy. I'm also volunteering at our church in MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers). I'm essentially watching preschoolers for about 1.5 hours every other week. It's fun, but it still adds onto my days. I'm also still volunteering at the aquarium. I'm actually mentoring now.
On top of all that, I still have my podcast I'm running and co-editing. Our show won't come out this week because of me. :P I just couldn't find time to edit my parts. Luckily the forum doesn't need any work. I can't even do any of HP fan stuff I'm so busy. Something had to give and my reading group is suffering for it, but oh well. There will be others. I am about to drop something, though. I'm just about to go crazy...Tuesday I spent 6 hours on campus...only 3 was required for class. I spent 5 hours on GIS alone. Today...I was on campus for 4 hours (left class early). I'm just tired...that's all... :)
With that...I'm back to homework and sleep...Hopefully I'll make it to bed by 2:15am. I have to get up at a 7:45am.

School started and My TV Shows
Today was the first day of Fall '06!
Schedule:
Monday - Bio II 8:30-9:50am; ESSP 300 10am-11:50pm
Tuesday - GIS 2-4:50pm
Wednesday - Bio II 8:30-9:50am; ESSP 300 10am-11:50pm
Thursday - GIS 2-4:50pm
Friday - Bio II L 9-11:50am
Not listed: CST (on-line)
I'm working on Wednesdays and Fridays and volunteering every other Sunday at the aquarium.
Today was pretty good. I actually had to LEARN something in Bio II! I couldn't believe it! It was pretty good, though. ESSP 300, the syllabus was 48 pages long! It's kind of like an introductory class to the upper division classes, but also a writing/critical thinking class. We will end up writing a 15-20 page case study paper by the end of the semester, along with doing job interviews and meeting potential advisors. Basically, don't fall behind and I'll be good. She does everything in steps.
I'm also taking a CST class called Media Tools on-line. It's essentially learning Flash, Dreamweaver, and PhotoShop. At the end, I believe, I will have to combine the use of all those programs into one big final project. I'm taking it as an on-line class because the lab and lecture are at the same time of my Bio class. I almost didn't get 16 units in this semester because all the classes I wanted (I checked about 5 of them) bumped into my Bio or ESSP 300 class and I HAD to have those this semester. Kind of bummed I can't go to the lectures/labs for CST, but I think I have enough resources and knowledge to do okay on my own. It's just a good thing I like learning new things like this!
My GIS class is tomorrow. Everyone I've talked to said it's not really hard, it's just time consuming and NOT to get behind in the class, which seems to be the theme in ALL my classes.
We'll see how I survive the week since my boss talked me into adding a shift and a half for this week on top of my other two shifts. So my week -- Working 27 hours (24 paid), taking 16 units, helping someone out a half hour a day, volunteering for 5 hours on Sunday, and doing my podcasting stuff. Yay for my busy schedule! Hopefully it won't be like this all semester long! :P
Now to my TV shows. I seem to be collecting TV shows I'm really getting into. I don't watch TV much, but this last half year I've found new TV shows I like!
I've always been interested in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (that's the Vegas one -- don't like NY and Miami as much), but I haven't really been able to watch it until last semester, so I'm really into that show. Of course American Idol is up there, but because of American Idol's last season I'm now into House MD. The show came on RIGHT after American Idol on Tuesday nights and I would watch it while I wait for the family to come home to watch American Idol. I ended up getting hooked! I like the type of shows that I can miss a whole season (or start in the middle) and not feel totally behind.
Well, my new show is Numb3rs. My co-worker told me that I'd like Numb3rs if I liked CSI. It's basically like CSI, but instead of using forensics or CSI people, it's about two brothers -- one is a FBI the other a mathematician. The brothers basically work together to help solve cases. It's not a whole lot of math, but it's still pretty cool. I also find it totally improbable in the real world, but I still like it! I like the math being used and it's a show I can skip a day of and not feel behind in for another one. I've been buying the episodes off of iTunes for $1.99 because it has only finished its 2nd season and it's not reairing like CSI does.
My other show I like (it's my shameful show) is Wildfire, which is on ABC Family. It's centered around horse racing, so it's really no wonder why I like it. It's a real drama, but I enjoy watching it and seeing the horses and such.
With that, I must be off to take a nap.

Please Pray for this Family
A Harry-Potter-friend-of-mine's girlfriend's cousin (the man) was murdered along with his wife today in Alabama. They have 3 children that are left behind with one sexually assulted by the man who is (was) a registered sex offender. The sex offender killed himself.

Please pray for the 3 kids and all the family and friends.
Here is an article on-line with a few more details.

Responsible Leader, yet a Bubbly Helper
They're both like me, but one isn't ONLY me. :P
Here's the link if you want to try the quiz.
The Responsible Leader: Your presence demands respect, and people give it. Whenever you are put in a group project, you take charge, and no one complains because they know that you'd make a good leader. You're fair, responsible, and most importantly, not bossy. You lead with care. You're the perfect candidate for the Head Girl position.
|The Lions|
Harry admires your confidence and wants to become your close friend.
Ron wonders how your life could be so organized and balanced.
Hermione admires the way you deal with people and consistently asks you to help her with S.P.E.W.
Fred and George try to pull pranks without you knowing, but you always manage to catch them. You're the best contender who can almost, but not quite, keep them in line.
Ginny is amused by the fact that Fred and George can never get past your radar. You two are becoming good friends.
Neville sometimes looks to you for help in pretty much everything.
Oliver thought you didn't give Quidditch enough credit.
Parvati admires the way you take charge, and people just follow naturally.
Lavender wonders how you are able to do it.
Seamus gets along with you really well. He plans on asking you out.

|The Eagles|
Cho doesn't really know you that well. You two have worked in committees a few times, but all she knows is that you're a reliable person.
Padma never questions your leadership. She likes it when you're the leader of the committee.
Roger doesn't know you.
|The Badgers|
Cedric was a really good friend.
Hannah idolizes you.
Justin admires your confidence and thinks you two just click. He is planning to ask you out and is sure that you'll say yes.
|The Serpents|
Draco hates you for catching him once, when he tried to hex Harry Potter from behind. He thinks you're a real pain.
Pansy hates you because Draco does.
Crabbe and Goyle: No point asking what they think.

Peeves: 'Always foils my plans! I need to get rid of that wand of hers!'
|The Professors|
Dumbledore always came to you whenever he needed something important done. He always thought that you would make a great Minister of Magic. He would have wanted you to be part of the Order, where you would have eventually earned a leadership position.
McGonagall: 'I'm impressed by the way she always has her head on right. Very organized and level-headed.'
Flitwick: 'Yes, she's quite good.'

Slughorn: 'Invited her to my club. Never once came.'
Hagrid: 'A good student, but I don't really know her.'
Binns: 'Shows interest in my class. Likes learning about the greatest witches and wizards of all time.'
Trelawney: 'Beware, for the Dark Lord knows that she is a threat. He knows that she can create a team that will fight against him. He will try to get her to join his side.'
-------------------
The Bubbly Helper: If someone needs a hand, you're there. You are known for being incredibly helpful, which means that you're known for being incredibly nice. You don't expect anything in return.

|The Ghosts|

Grey Lady: 'I do not know this girl.'
Bloody Baron: 'Who?'
M. Myrtle: 'I just LOVE her! She's so nice to me and she visits me whenever she can!'

|The Professors|
Dumbledore had a soft spot for you. He admired your ability to be kind and helpful to everyone.
McGonagall: 'One of my favourite students, but don't tell anyone that. She's very compassionate.'
Flitwick: 'Delightful girl. Very delightful. I hope she doesn't stop taking Charms.'
Sprout: 'Never have I met a girl kinder than her. I think every teacher in this school has a soft spot for her.'
Snape: 'Good student. Too bad she's not in my House.'
Slughorn: 'A charming girl, even though she does not take after her mother. Her mother-now she was one special witch.'
Hagrid: 'One of my favourite students! I always look forward to having her in my class!'
Binns: 'A pleasure to teach. She shows particular interest in learning about the history of the Lufkin-Walden bloodline. Probably because of her mother.'

Snape: 'Good student. Too bad she's not in my House.'
Slughorn: 'A charming girl, even though she does not take after her mother. Her mother-now she was one special witch.'
Hagrid: 'One of my favourite students! I always look forward to having her in my class!'
Binns: 'A pleasure to teach. She shows particular interest in learning about the history of the Lufkin-Walden bloodline. Probably because of her mother.'
Trelawney: 'He-Who-Must-Be-Named is starting to be aware of her. If she knows what's good for her, she'll stop hanging around with Harry Potter and his friends.'
Geology Grade
I didn't mention this! I can't believe it!
I checked my Geology grade a while ago and found out I got a 95% on the final (some miracle or something...it was the highest grade in the class and I took a LONG time to complete it). I got a 97% in the class (highest grade), but it should have been higher. :P I was only about 15 points off from a perfect grade, but she didn't include my 10 extra credit points I had into my final grade! So I REALLY should have close to a 100%! Oh well, such is life. As is, the community college I took the class doesn't do +'s or -'s so it's not like it would have made a difference in my GPA or on my transcript.
Secondly, David (Cafe David). His family made his memorial service family only. No friends or co-workers were allowed to attend. Apparently, his step-father didn't really like him. *shrugs* The cafe, sometime, wants to do their own little thing for him. We'll see if it happens or not.

School...Yuck!
I start school a little less than a week from today! :( My first class is at 8:30am on Monday. Though, I'm done with classes by noon for Mondays and Tuesday, which is a nice feeling.
I didn't get as much done as I wanted to this summer. This summer went by so fast! I can't believe it! I didn't get ANY Dreamweaver or Flash practice in (I just spelled practice "practise" -- English way). I'm hoping to cram stuff into my brain this week, but I don't think it's going to happen. My brain is fried and I'm fighting some sickness.
Work last week as stressful because our new DM (District Manager) was making her first formal visit to the store. Everyone was on pins and needles and trying to get the store in shape. As the "Bargain Queen" I'm responsible for how the bargains look and, with the hour cutting, getting them out onto the floor. I spent 7 hours on Friday and 7 hours with another person getting bargains out. We got out ALMOST 3 palettes out. I was SO proud of us! there's a little more than 1 palette left and it's all "overstock." I've gone through it all.
I was hoping to have a semi-calm week, but it's not lookin' too good. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, then I'm helping a lady who broke her leg in to places for about a half hour each day, and then I have a podcast recording to re-record our news for Ep3 -- that is now over a MONTH old. Would have been out a week or two ago, but my editor's computer got fried because of a storm and a lovely power surge. He had to rebuild his computer, but he saved pretty much everything. Wednesday I work from 10am-6pm, but I have an "Employee of the Month" luncheon with my boss and a couple of others during my shift. Then Thurs and Fri I work 7pm-11:30pm, but I have house stuff to do along with everything else. In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm doing two jobs because of the lady I'm helping. She's nice and I enjoy going over to help her. It's just hard dragging myself over there, sometimes. :)
With that, that's all the news I really have.
