Hmm halfway!

Yea, Spring Break starts this Friday, but the bad thing was that I have/had four exams this week. I took one so far, for Animal Science (my online class) and I bombed it, got a freaking 50/100! Which is worse than last time where I got a 60/100. 60 is barely “passing”, 50 is failing… How this class works is that the best grade is counted twice, so if I round up in this case, I’m just “passing” at a D-! The thing is that the class isn’t hard at all, but I simply don’t devote the time I need to actually memorize all the stuff or study it or know it. I’m suppose to watch these hour and like ten minute long videos on webCT, but I just can’t sit in front of my computer for more than like ten minutes focused on that, so I end up doing other stuff. Doing other stuff means I’m not paying attention to the video, I thought I was going to actually learn if I ripped the audio from the video and just use it on my ipod or pocketpc while doing mundane stuff like driving or waiting for the bus. Though, obliviously that hasn’t worked to well. I’m going to talk to the professor (heh I actually saw the professor for the first time today randomly…) tomorrow, but in all likelihood I’ll be dropping the class as my GPA can’t really take any more hits.

Anyway, one of my other exams was canceled because the professor had to leave for India and he left us with a review session type class, but the “answers” he left were way off, like questions that were true/false, which would be A and B respectively would have the answer down as C or D. I guess this brings down the pressure a little. I still have two exams to deal with. My econ exam on Thursday, I did ok on my last exam, so hopefully it goes better with this one. Then I have my intermediate accounting exam on Friday, originally scheduled as 5 to 7, now changed to 11 or noon pending the professor finding a room! As much as I hate to use this, but WTF mate? I took a half day at work, planning on taking the exam 5 to 7, but now I have to go in during the afternoon/evening instead of the morning/afternoon. Booo!
Then it’ll be spring break! Woooot..right? Ehh, not so much since I have to work which consumes most of my time anyhow. I’ve been there for two years now! Like omg… I just had a review done, but nothing about any salary increases which I’m in the middle road about. If I got raise, it should push me over a certain “threshold” that would make it kinda of difficult for me to walk away from the job, even upon graduating… On the other hand, no increase, a lot easier to drop the job for other pursuits I have in mind. Ironically, other pursuits require money…

Speaking of money, I have to pay off several thousands of dollars by the end of the month or I’ll be incurring some hefty interest :/. It’s so lame that I’m trying to schedule moving money around so that I lose the least amount of interest, which in the end I’m sure would only amount to a few dollars…

Now in other unrelated to my life stuff….

-Britney Spears, what a freaking nut. Like everyone says, who knew K-Fed would look like the responsibly one…

-Anna Nicole, they are finally ordering a paternity test on her baby, wouldn’t it be funny if none of the 3 guys claiming to be father actually turn out to be the father? It’s like Maury gone wrong! I bet that old oil tycoon guy she married had frozen sperm and it’s actually his kid…Guess I’m crazy like that, like I still think that Ken Lay guy is still alive, probably on some tropical island without a care in the world now.

Opps

This is what happens when you run with scissors :

Ok, not really, but I did chop off like 20 inches of hair. Makes washing my hair such a breeze now, but thing is that I kinda of cut off more than I would of liked to have. In retrospect, it’s probably a bad idea to cut your own hair, but at the time I was thinking if I screw this up, I’ll just go to the salon to get it fixed. However, being the case it’s to short, I don’t think anything can be done :(.

It actually didn’t turn out that badly, but the ponytail definitely looks a bit off now because I started cutting in diagonal towards the end since I started freaking out and just wanted to get it done as quickly as possible.
