Times Change

stargate02.jpg There was a time when Friday meant Yippee!SGA. Now, I barely remember, “Oh, it’s Friday, SGA is on tonight.” Last night’s episode, “Girl Power” “Missing” is a good reason why. How long were the men in the ep? Four minutes? Maybe? I don’t like Dr. Keller. I don’t hate her, but she has no redeemable qualities. She’s just “there”. Carson, I cared about. This one, nope. Teyla’s pregnant. Ooh, wow. NOT. Unless it’s Ronon’s (it’s not), I’m not interested. Another thing–if you’re going to show any plot about the Athosians, let me see the only one we know, at least in a flashback. Otherwise, it’s a show about missing strangers, and really, who cares about strangers?

Ugly Betty was pretty good. Betty’s fired, but for how long? First half of next episode, I’d bet. Not that I care. Maybe I’m just a bit fussy because there was no Pushing Daisies this week. The Redneck Music Awards were on, and preempting PD with that dreck just made the week that much bleaker.

Next week is going to be cool. I have Monday off, and on Friday I’m going to to see and . I’ll get to meet Jonas for the first time, and we (the humans) are planning to see Beowulf! Hurrah!

Um, yeah

So after much consideration, I’ve decided to not update on events since the last time I posted. Graduation, schedule, death threats, you’ve heard it all before.

I spent the better part of the week at Canaan Valley with Mrs. Bush. We were at a conference for work and actually had a pretty good time. Before we went, I got to spend a couple of days with Ben, which is always terrific. Since I missed the birthdays of Ben and Karen (Hi, sis!), I decided to continue to be the non-celebratory hostess. Lucky Ben!

I’m bored. I’m seriously bored. I want to have a night out of drinking and acting up, but I have no one to do it with. I guess I could be the sad, lonely chick out alone, but then I’d be bored and pathetic, and that’s just not right.

Damn, I’m bored.

It’s been a long time…again. I don’t know why I’m not writing anything. I guess it’s because I’m content with everything and have nothing to complain about.

Last weekend, Ben and Jesse celebrated their 2nd Anniversary and Christian celebrated his 1st Birthday. Yay, guys! I still need to get prezzies for each. I had class, which went wonderfully, as usual. I found out I need only two more classes and an abbreviated internship whereby I will required only to log what I’m doing at work since I’m already a counselor. Yay!

Things I need to do:

Buy aforementioned gifts
Get new cellphone
File taxes (finished long ago)
Finish Master Schedule (which I was promised I wouldn’t have to do)
Create new theme for this site
Get rid of cold

$42.63

I will give $42.63 to anyone who helps me do my first assignment for class. The fact that it’s a legal and ethics class notwithstanding, I think that’s a fair offer. I like classes with tests. I’ve always had great success with tests. Seriously. Except for lousy elective classes I never actually attended at WVU, I’ve never failed a test. I kicked the ACT square in the bottom, did well on the GRE, passed the Miller Analogies in the top 95th percentile, and regular, everyday tests are music to my ears. I just imagine that I’ve been charged with creating the key to the test, and my confidence soars.

Unfortunately, this class has no tests. It’s largely 5 case studies. We’re given a scenario and we have to apply the ethics model and legal precedents. I have to now find the ethics model and legal precedents. Ugh. It’s not difficult at all, it’s just time consuming. Furthermore, I like to be given specific required formats on assignments. Since there is no example, I have to assume that I’m writing in the correct format, but I could be waaaay off.

So, any takers ❓

Also, apologies to Ben and Jesse for not visiting during my trip to Charleston this week. I TOTALLY forgot about it until my coworker asked me on Tuesday, “Don’t you have a conference tomorrow?” ACK!! Fortunately, she decided to attend it with me and we jetted to the hotel, arriving just in time to catch the end of Star Wars, get some food, and sleep. I’m going to try to schedule a pleasure visit at some point so we can actually do stuff. BTW, I cannot get my coworker to stop referring to Ben and Jesse and Ben and Jerry. For some reason, it cracks me up every time she says it. Hee!
