My Free Day - gone down the drain

Yeah so I was supposed to have the WHOLE ENTIRE DAY OFF. I even finished all of - or most of - my homework yesterday so that I could go to the mall or something today. It's been forever since I've had a completely and totally free day, and I was reveling in the fact.

Then my boss called and told me that Stacy's not feeling well and could I come in to work tonight so she could go home?

And of course, because I'm such a goodie-goodie, and because I didn't really have any plans, I said yes.

*sigh*

If only I'd gone to the mall when I had the chance. Then I would have missed his call and *tah-dah!* no work. Oh well, I could certainly use the money...

What am I getting myself into?

Perhaps you have by now noticed my new icon. If not, look at it, and notice it, because this post is very relevant to it.

NANOWRIMO?!

Who has time to write a 50,000 word novel in a month? Hmm...I guess we're about to find out. I've pretty much decided that I'm going to try it this year. I mean, I've already signed up, so I may as well give it a whack, eh? I'm almost 100% positive I won't make the winner's list, but hey, who cares. I just need to think of a plot.

No, that's not entirely true. I have several plot ideas, really. The problem is that they're all flying around inside my head and when I try to pick one, it disappears in a puff of smoke and appears elsewhere in my mind approximately 4.567 seconds later. *sigh* I just want a good plot that won't die on me halfway through.

Well, who else is being crazy this year? Let me see a show of hands...or comments...either one works.

Algebra Must DIE

I hate algebra. It's very deceptive. You start to understand it - or at least you think you do - and WHAMMO, turns out you were completely wrong all along and you fail your test. Yeah, I failed one of my algebra tests. And the sad thing is, this test, I actually really studied really hard for. The others I didn't try so hard, simply because I remembered everything. This one I didn't remember everything that was in the chapter so I studied extra hard and I could have sworn I was going to pass with flying colors. Nope.

I hate algebra. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

The Results Are In

Mid-Term grades are coming...

So far, I've found out that I have a 99 in Spanish. *grins excitedly* That's really cool. It helps that Spanish is my favorite class, so I actually LIKE doing the work. Math is a different story.

Besides the fact that I just found out my College Success Skills class started on Monday the 17th and I thought it started NEXT Monday. Agh...Information is messed up. I looked it up on the college's website several times, and they all said that the class days were from October 18th through December sometime. Well, since this is a Monday-only class, I just assumed it would start next Monday. Nope. GRRR.

Anywho, oh well. I've learned that it's not a big deal if you skip out on a few classes in college, as long as you don't miss tests and get the notes from someone else. Not that I have actually done it, but I've learned from others' experiences.

Work is going okay, too. Sometimes I get annoyed with my boss, because he talks down to us waitresses a lot, like we're stupid or something. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I don't appreciated being talked down to thus. And also anyone who knows me well knows that I stand up for myself, and my boss is also kinda pushy sometimes. But hey, he's my boss, so I respect him and we get along fine. I was thinking about quitting, simply because of the things I just said, and also because I'm not getting enough hours. But I would have to find another job first. I dunno, I'm still thinking about it. *shrug*

Anyway, must get to bed, school tomorrow.

Friends Forum?

So, if I started a message board online for all my friends, who would be interested in joining? It would just be a cool way for everyone to keep in touch, and you can invite your friends, and then, like, you can talk to people I know here in VA, etc, etc. *shrug* I thought it was a cool idea.

All in favor say "aye".
