This past week was both an incredible challenge and really busy. Like I wrote earlier in the week, I did miss half of NCIS because of the tape’s error. I wound up watching it (again) on CBS.com, which turned out to be okay because then I can let my bird out of his cage during that time so I can still supervise him. He enjoyed the outside time, and I enjoyed the hotness that is Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly. Now, I have gotten some emails about how I am obsessed with this show, and I would like to point out that some are addicted to House, othes are addicted to Law and Order – NCIS is just my show of choice.

My English Comp class was incredibly stupid. The more I attend this class, the more I really dislike the Professor. I wish she would teach! Most of the stuff she talks about can be wrapped up in about 30 minutes, which is perfectly fine with me – but it takes her an hour to get to that topic because she is constantly talking back and forth with a student…as in cracking jokes, laughing etc. It’s like the other people in the class are not even there. After class I had showed her what I was working on for my descriptive essay. She said that it was strongly worded, but it was just the skeleton and I needed to explain how people get over-medicated, why they get over-medicated not in the direction I was going. I just could not wrap my head around that idea and could not twist the paper around to bring it to the angle that she wanted. I decided that I’ll use this idea as my argumentative/persuasive essay/research paper and as the debate at the end of the class. Instead I chose another topic which I was thoroughly able to explain, both it’s history and different aspects of things. I feel that this is a strong paper and am hoping my grade will reflect that.

I also got my math test results back and I’m disappointed. I only got a 95 on this test and I think I could have done better. That’s what I get for spending a little more time on the computer instead of working on my homework. That’s a bad sign, because it means that I’m comfortable just enough to slack off but still course on by the skin of my teeth. I have never (ever) had a 100 on my tests except on that first test and I know someone will comment that a 95 is still awesome but in all honesty, it’s really not. I could have done better and on this next chapter I’ll turn off my computer while I’m working on my homework so I will not be tempted. I seriously want to make the Deans list. And I think that by pushing myself to succeed it will only look that much better on my future resumé.

Yesterday was my twenty-fifth birthday. It was very low-key and I guess I’m at that point in my life where I’m like “who cares? I’ll have another one next year.” I wound up going out to the mall with my Sister and Brother-In-Law where we watched the stupidity of people and escalators. Seriously? A man on a walker went down the escalator, a woman holding a stroller (yes! seriously!) and a woman walking up the down escalator with a tiny baby in her arms. I got a new shirt from NY&Co and enjoyed a pretzel from Aunt Annies (yummy!) My Mother made her most hated meal for me (to prepare, not eat) – Stuffed Cabbage. It was so good! I was very tired because I couldn’t sleep the night before so I was very low-key, which was also okay.

Other than that, my week was hectic (with work) and it on a good note and right now I just feel like taking a nap.
