I hate my phone

This is my phone. The trusty Samsung A900M. I’ve had this since my senior year of high school, so it’s been a good.. 3+ years since I first got it. It’s a good phone and all but I hate it. Why? Because it is indestructible. I’ve thrown it on the ground with the intention of hurting it, I’ve ripped the camera out of it, dropped it on the ground nuuuumerous times and all I’ve ever gotten is a little scratch. I’ve even “lost” it a few times.. only for it to find me a few hours later. The fact that it’s indestructible should be a good thing and it should make me love my phone even more. BUT I DON’T. I want a new phone but I have no reason to get one, because this one just won’t die! I can’t just give up a perfectly good phone just because. My brother’s phone was white screened for months and he still used it, he only got a new one because my mom forced him to.

I woke up this morning and thought it was weird that my battery only had two bars of battery, because I always charge it while I’m sleeping. I took out the charger and plugged it back in and nothing happened. “What the hell?” It was 7AM, way too early to be thinking about why my phone is not lighting up. Then I realized… “Oh my god!!!!! If this is broken…. I could get a new phone!!! yes!!!” I started looking at Sprint’s selection of phones and I just kept looking at the Blackberry I’ve been wanting. I even looked at the apps site…. yes I am that crazy. But alas I had to come to my senses and at least try to get a charger from the store, because if I called my mom and told her I didn’t even try to fix the problem she’d get a little miffed. So I went to Target and….. bought them. It’s plural because money-sucking companies make car chargers and then adapters to convert the car charger into a regular wall charger. What the gay!? I guess $26 vs the $199 I’d shell out for the BB Tour is reasonable though….

grumble grumble grumble………

stupid

Nothing makes me angrier than someone who doesn’t follow through and ATTITUDE. This woman told me she would get this room for me for the event on Friday.. TWO WEEKS AGO. I walk into her office today to inquire and she tells me oh so casually that she hasn’t even done anything yet. Excuse me? How professional. Another example of “professionalism” I saw today was when I finally talked to the right woman about reserving rooms.. after waiting close to 45 minutes. I told her my situation and she told me that we could not reserve it with a smidgen of attitude. I never, ever let my attitude show, especially when talking to people in charge because most of the time, the situations are out of their hands. However, she is the one who denied us in the first place with no real explanation, so she has every power in order to get that room back. Since she copped an attitude, I was NOT going to let myself get stepped on, so I pulled out mine too. Finally she consented and she ROLLED her eyes at me. WHAT? I am definitely writing in a complaint about all of this. This is so ridiculous.

time to wake up

thank goodness for good friends that will inadvertently knock some sense into you. I talked to Kristian on the phone practically the whole drive back to VB and she told me about a school-related experience that really shook her and got her to get back on the ball. listening to her made me feel so guilty… I’ve been doing it for too long.  so now, let’s see if I can keep to my word…

le sigh

Sometimes I surprise myself with how naive I can be. Shouldn’t I know better by now? It sucks to be optimistic about everything just to be let down in the end. hmph

la la la la la la

I pulled an all nighter on Thurs night and was sick all day on Friday. ugh. it was so horrible, I am nevereverever doing that again. Timmy came to take care of me, bless his heart for sticking with me even though I freaked out when he woke me up after buying lunch. spent Chinese New Year w/ his family and had a lotta fun.. his baby cousin is so so so sooooo cuuute!!!!!!! Valentine’s day was fun fun.. met my little! she’s sweet. went to Kabuto for dinner, mmmmm twas tasty but I smelled like hibachi for the rest of the night.

these winter olympic sports are weeeeeird. moguls??? who really does that? I swear someone just invents them because ice skating and regular skiing aren’t enough for the winter olympics.

time for class. SIGH.

sighhhhhhhhhh. I hate this semester!!

I was napping the other day(yesterday) and I had the strangest dream that my teeth had moved. it was SO painful. I swear I felt it in real life too, it was so odd. I am glad my roommate was asleep at the same time because I was probably groaning in my sleep and I don’t want her to think I am weirder than I already am. …… I also had a dream that a baby chick fell on the sidewalk and got baked in the sun and it suddenly became a chicken nugget and started to eat itself. okay, that’s enough..

uhhhh. valentine’s day is coming up soon! yey. I had some problems with my present at first, but I just called and straightened them fools out. THAT’S RIGHT.

I need to go read. my religion class has three books to it, and two of them are very pop-culture oriented, so they’re easy to read. one is the Tao of Pooh- which is so adorable, who wouldn’t want to read it? the other is a book about all the Hindu deities and it’s illustrated by someone from Pixar, so it’s super adorable and bright and pretty. then the other is this boring ass Intro to Hinduism that is SUCH A DRAG I always lose my place when I’m reading.

on another note, my hair is getting much longer these days. I feel like it grew an inch or two in the past two weeks. me likey!

winter wonderland

Ahhh! after being upset that I missed the snow in Virginia in December, the heavens have opened up and given me a snow day to experience! It snowed all day yesterday and it was so pretty. I woke up and looked out of our window and just saw white, white and more white snow piled up on the ground, on people’s patios, chairs, cars, etc. I didn’t want to play in it until it stopped snowing, so… I didn’t play at all on Saturday. But I did walk to a friend’s apartment and on the way there (all 50 ft…) I marveled at how quiet campus was without all the cars on the road. I heard a scream here and there, not from crazy drunk students, but from people having snowball fights in the park.. it was nice to hear rather than all the drunk yelling and sirens wailing etc etc. Sigh….it was nice. Today Timmy and I trudged through the snow to go to Chipotle for dinner. We saw a bunch of people wearing inappropriate clothes for this kind of weather. Really, shorts and a tshirt in freezing cold temperatures?? People are so crazy.

It’s the start of February, which is going to be a REALLY crazy month. I have at least a test and a quiz almost every week, plus with Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year and Regional Conference to get ready for, it’s a whole lot of added stress!! I hope I can pull through..

candy overload

last night before the meeting, I got about $4 worth of gummy candies from the commons.
I ate mmm… about $3.15 worth of that candy in those two hours that we were in the meeting.
when I came home, I did nothing for a few hours and then studied a bit for my animal phis quiz..
went to bed around 1..
toss, turn, toss … repeat x 24
turned on some music.. instead it kept  me up
went on the internet for a bit…
went to the bathroom…..
tried to go back to sleep.
toss, turn, toss….
finally fell asleep.
it was 4am.
my alarm was set for 7:45 AM.. sigh.
it goes off, I change it to ring again at 8:15AM. that’s just my routine..
I woke up at 8:57 AM, class is at 9AM.
MY QUIZ!!!!!!
got to class right when they finished. no make ups bc it’s for extra credit.
I know I’m gonna need it. BLAH!!!!!!!

updates

eh.. I haven’t been so good about updating more but oh well. school has started and so far it has been okay. I’ve been trying to be on top of my game and do my work on time.. the hard part is that I have to be ahead of the material but instead I am just trying to be with it. I guess that’s better than before, where I would just always be behind the material. I’ll get there someday.. right now I’m just comfortable where I am. kind of. classes are pretty rough this semester, but I am pretty confident that I can wield my way through without too much damage. I’ve mapped out my test schedule and it looks HEINOUS! sigh…..

everything else is going dandy, not too much to report here. I got my eyebrows threaded today for the first time. my mom’s tried to do it a few times but she doesn’t really know how so it never really worked. but man oh man, it really worked today.. I teared up quite a bit. but they look nice. clean as a bitch!

that is all.

two types of people I dislike the most.. hypocrites and those who are bandwagoners.

hypocrites- I am only thinking of one person in particular, so this goes to you. if you say something, then DO it. words are worth nothing, and you will be nothing if you continue going on this downward spiral. I wouldn’t give a damn if you weren’t so fronting so hard about what you do. if you do it, then do it. be proud. who gives a shit? once you deny it, and continue to deny it like you do, it just makes it harder for me to continue to support you in anything you do. it’s your life and you are screwing it up nicely. shady shady shady.

bandwagoners- the earthquake in haiti was very unfortunate. fortunately, natural disasters do not happen all the time. but really, how many people cared about haiti before the earthquake hit? sichuan? the philippines? I will say less than 1/4 of the people who pretend to care right now. in two months, everyone will go back to tweeting and facebooking about their new shoes/sig. others/what they ate for dinner. ugh. if you care, then care. don’t care because someone else does.
