Blue Rondo A La Turk

I have one more paper to write tomorrow, due by 3:00 and then the semester is over. OVER. I didn't realize it til tonight, just because I didn't have any huge tests to study for, but the end is here, and that means I have to go home for a month. Go home to slave away at the UPS Store and deal with stupidass people who are surprised that overnighting something to get there on a Saturday is a lot of money. Do YOU want to work on a Saturday? Didn't think so; that's why it's expensive, assrammer.

I go home Sunday, and I plan on getting drunk every single night until then. How I will do that with no money is yet to be determined, but when I put my mind to something, it usually gets accomplished. Well at least 10% of the time. I bought a 24 case of 16 oz bottles of MGD Saturday because it was only $13.99 and I left the rest of them at my friend Nick's place. If they drank them, I'll kill them, don't doubt me. It was a sweetass price, but they were plastic bottles, not glass, the kind you get at a sport game, or at a concert. I was reassured by my friend Mike though when I said "I feel queer drinking out of a plastic bottle" and he replied "that's because you do look queer." Mike, telling it like it is.

It's been ungodly cold here the past week. I can deal with 30 degrees, or 20, even though it still sucks ass. But the HIGH for the past two days has been 14 degrees. And that's not counting the wind chill. At night it's been around 4 degrees. I said something to my Dad about how cold it was and he goes "If you think this is cold, what are you going to do when it's winter out?" Sorry Dad, are you used to 4 degrees? We don't live in fucking Alaska. It could be the first day of winter and he would still say the same thing, or -9 and he'd say it too. I realize I'm from the Midwest and we have four seasons, including a coldass winter, but it's never this cold this soon. Cold weather means people are wearing leather gloves, and leather gloves creep me out for some reason. So do leather coats. Christ I hate leather coats. Long ones, short ones, guys wearing them or girls, I hate them all. Not because I think it's wrong to wear leather, don't get me wrong, I hate animals; it's just because they're ugly. And they make you look like a killer. What the hell am I talking about.

My parents went to Vegas last week, and now I feel like I've been there too with how long my mom went on about it. If you want to know anything about the Celine Dion show or what the Mirage looked like, just ask me. I really could have put the phone down for 10 minutes and she wouldn't have known the difference. But anyways, my mom liked it so much that her and my dad are going to renew their vows there for their 25th anniversary in November of 2007. Well we won't go until January of 2008 when my brother turns 21, but whats 2 months when they're waited 25 years. I asked if they were going to pay for me and she was like "well, some things, you WILL be 23 after all." Then I was all, "Mom, how much do you think I'll be able to afford working at McDonalds?" Then Mom was all, "KATHRYN, YOU WILL NOT WORK AT MCDONALDS." Oh yeah mom? What else do people with history degrees do? You got any ideas? Me either.

My schedule for next semester sucks ass because I'm taking seven classes. I start at 11:00 am Monday, Wednesday and FRIDAY. I haven't had a class before 12:30 or on a Friday since my very first semster here, oh so long ago. I could have taken a Monday-Wednesday class from 3:30-4:45 and not had class until noon, but I wanted to be home in time for Jeopardy and the girlmore girls every day. I base my schedule around tv shows. Cool. This semester I probably went to about 45% of my classes, which really isn't bad considering there was two weeks when I only went to three classes altogether. I'd like to say I didn't fail any, but we'll see about that next Wednesday. Please let me at least get D's. As long as I get my credit hours I'm happy.

Sure, it's 2:30 am and about 2 degrees outside, I totally understand why you need to sit outside in your car with the doors open and listen to your music! Really! I do! Totally!
