Just a quick post...

I know it's not what you guys want, but you're pressuring me for boobage shots, and this is all I got.
Slicka slide on over to Meghan's Website. There you can check out not only HER boob, but her friend Nicole's boob as well.
Enjoy, I'm off to watch The Legend of Zorro!

For the record...

I'm going crazy. Or rather, more crazy than I actually am. This week has been a whirlwind of events, begining with a presentation on Monday, a quiz on Wednesday, a quiz today, a midterm this coming Monday, a midterm this coming Tuesday, and two assigments due on Monday. I'm, needless to say, exhausted. My head hurts, my brain feels like mush, and my eyes are burning. Yesterday I spent 12 hours at school. I got there at 930, had class from 10-2, and then stayed and studied in the cafeteria/library until 930. Today I got there at the same time, and despite being done at 230, I stayed until 730. I needed to meet with my stats prof at 430 for a bit of help on a topic (it was funny, we were trying to figure out a time to meet, because his office hours don't correspond with my free time, and he asked me, "How many courses are you taking? Why are you so busy?" and then laughed, it was amusing.). I would have stayed later than 730, but Survivor was on tonight and I felt that after the past two days I deserved an hour of television watching. Now I can barely keep my eyes open and I'm debating leaving with Dad tomorrow morning at 720 am. An extra 70 minutes earlier than I usually leave. But I doubt I'll get up. I have to work at 430 and that's just deadly. This weekend is going to be absolutely crazy between the theatre, the daycare, babysitting, studying, and a staff screening/goodbye party for my assistant manager. I can't wait until Wednesday when I can just take a break and relax. It will be much needed.
It's finally here
And today I came home, happy to see that my student loan had arrived in the mail, as it's caused me a lot of stress over the past two weeks, esp. because I didn't know if I was going to receive enough. But, I did, and I'm very happy and stress relieved in that aspect of my life right now. Lets just hope all stress can clear up very soon.

With that I wish you all a good weekend, I am going to bed (and probably won't be posting again until Wednesday, but you all now know why!)!!
xoxo

PS: I am NOT going to post a picture of my breasts. You guys can all FORGET it. Sorry to let you down. :)

The Hated One

On Tuesday in my Stats class, my prof passed back our quizzes. The way he does it, is he passes the folder around, and you find yours, starting on one side of the room. The seats are arranged in rows and I'm the second last row to get the folder (out of about 7 or 8 rows). As I was looking through, I saw many 45, 65, 55, 50 %'s, and I was getting a little worried. Then I saw my name, and looked. 100%. I was terribly pleased with myself, but not as pleased as I was when I had a conversation with Krystyna on the phone yesterday.

Krystyna: You realize, that basically the entire class keep passing your quiz and seeing your 100? And they were probably thinking, "I hate her".

Me: Krystyna. I've always been the one hating people who got good marks, whereas I was barely passing, if that. This is crazy!

Krystyna: Stacy, you're the hated one.

Me: This is so awesome.

I don't know what's going on, but I like it.

Wait, I lied. I know exactly what's going on.
I got an A on my first Chemistry midterm! Can you say excitement!? I guess my tutoring is really paying off! Nonetheless, I'm sitting on an A in that class, and I'm loving it!

Insert clever subject line here (too lazy to make one up myself)

I just came home from seeing Domino. I didn't have high expectations for it, but was surprisingly impressed with it.

Oh, and it's raining again.
'Nuff said.

Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see the humor in this.

This morning I had planned on waking up and leaving the house for an earlier bus, to give myself plenty of study time for chem before my stats lecture. I awoke at 7:06 and looked to see why my alarm hadn't gone off. The light was lit up indicating my alarm was on. I figured I must have hit snooze and rolled back over. What seemed only minutes later, I looked again, and it was 7:56. Considering the bus I usually take is at 8:53, I have to be ready to go out the door by 830. As Dad said, I was in high gear this morning, and yes, I made it out the door, I made my bus. I showered, dried my hair, and put on my makeup in 30 MINUTES. I get to class and have my usual hour to kill so I study. Then I go to class, my one class of the day. A couple girls come in behind me, saying class is cancelled. I don't believe them, I take out my phone and I call the class cancellation line. Sure enough, it's cancelled.

Not only did I sleep in, but I rushed to school for a class I didn't even have.
Is it Friday yet?

What's that? An A? You don't say...

So, things have been pretty crazy since I last left you guys. Here's what's happening lately in the world of the fistshaker (and a crazy one at that).

Some bacteria is good, others are downright nasty.

As some of you already know, my cellulitis (not to be confused with cellulite) came back on Thursday. After going to Cobequid, I received a medication for yet another dosage of antibiotics. This time it was a 5 day prescription, but I guess it stays in your system for another 5 days after that. This one, like the previous one, hurts a lot. It broke through the skin yesterday, thank god. I was, to say the least, relieved. It's a good sign, as it shows that the antibiotics are attacking and breaking down the bacteria, it relieved a lot of the pain, and honestly, who doesn't love gooey green bacteria exploding out of their leg (I have pictures if you're interested, and yes. I am dead serious. I said I was crazy! I was going to post them, but I don't want to further any belief in my insanity.)? Now, I'm on the mend. With permission to park in handicapped spots at school, and availability of the car every day, I'm laughing. Except not. Two mornings (M/W) I've gone to the building at the top of the hill for my first class and have been faced with the only handicapped spot already in use. So with no other spots available (because parking at the Mount is literally ridiculous), I've had to walk up the hill. Luckily, my second trip to that building on those days have graced me with better luck. Today marks the 10th day I've been off work, and it's weird to be away from there for so long. However, I'm dealing *sniff sniff* lol. My leg is terribly swollen, right down to my mid-foot. Where it won't cause any more damage to my infection to work, it would be painful for me because it would cause even more swelling, which honestly, I don't think my leg could swell anymore!! We'll have to see about work for the next week.

I guess all a girl needs is some determination...
Again, when I left you guys last, I was suffering some major school anxiety. I'm happy to report that that problem is looking up! I've since written two Chemistry quizzes and received two A's (that's a 21.5/25 and a 17/20)!! I can't begin to explain how estactic I am about that! I spent three hours yesterday on one Chapter. I vowed not to quit until I understood it. I more than understood it, I got stumped on something, moved on, went back to it, and figured it out myself! I was terribly impressed with myself. Also, I've done three labs now in Stats, one assignment, and one quiz, and they've all been A+'s (well, 1/3 labs I got back and it was an A+, I'm assuming that the other two are as well, my first assigment I got 100%, my first quiz I got 9/10). I also wrote a test yesterday that I'm fairly confident that I got 100% on. This course is absolutely amazing, and I really might keep my minor as math. It's exciting when you do well. I guess, I was just getting discouraged. But now, I'm determined, and I want to do this and I'm slowly starting to realize that I CAN. And it's so satisfying to get a good mark. I can't stop smiling over Chemistry. And I'm actually excited for my midterm next Wednesday (again I refer to my comment on my being CRAZY).

Sometimes you just have to relax :)
What with the three hours of Chem I did yesterday, I sat down at 8 last night and treated myself to 3 hours of TV. There is currently two shows I watch - Survivor and The Amazing Race. I decided last night, since I was home, I would watch Law & Order: SVU and it was amazing. I was reminded of why I used to watch that show so much and can say with great faith, it will become friends with my VCR (as I usually work Tuesday nights). I was settled in the recliner at this point, so I decided to keep watching TV. After SVU a new show called Close to Home premiered, and I am now hooked. It's a legal drama I guess, but unlike L&O in that it gives you a look into the personal/home life of the ADA. "Hello Close to Home. Meet my friend, the VCR." Then, I watched TAR, which I am just as fascinated with as I always have been, despite it being a family edition. Unfortunately, a team I cannot stand are still in, but they came last in last nights episode, and frankly, suck. So I hope they get eliminated next week. For a person who hasn't been watching TV all summer, I sure know how to rack 'em up! Take a look:
  • Sunday - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives
  • Tuesday - L&O: SVU, Close to Home, The Amazing Race
  • Thursday - Survivor
  • Saturday- Felicity
I'm almost scared to turn the TV on any other night, as who knows what more shows await to tempt me! It's bad enough I work 2 out of the 4 nights I have shows on!

Anyways. It's time I wrapped this baby up. It's terribly long and I'm going to head out to Bayer's Lake with Krystyna to see A History of Violence. I'm very excited as I've heard nothing but great things about this movie. Ciao!
