i'm going under...drowning in you...i'm falling forever....i've got to break through....

christ all fuckin' mighty....

next time i have 2 finals in a less than 24 hour period..remind me to fuckin reschedule that shit 'cause i'm going nuts between preparing for tax on thursday from 6pm-10pm, and constitutional law on friday from 9am-12pm....because..well i'm torn....

tax is worth four credits...four credits of an "a" or "b" put into my gpa equals big ol' happy smile on my face when i break the 3.5 threshold i seem to be stuck at after my first year...

however....

constitutional law, though only 2 credits, is a requisite course to gradumacation...which means i can't exercise my "pass/fail" option (of which i only get two to begin with) on the grade i get in it..whereas i can exercise the mentioned option in tax law....

so while i sit there teetering back and forth between "holy fuck i'm going to fail this test" and "well, he grades fairly and i can explain the shit..maybe i won't do bad"....it's comforting, in a small sense, to know that if i do horrible on my tax test and get a *gasp*...."c"...i can pass/fail it and not have it count into the calculation of my gpa....

and then it's a total cop out on my part to sit here and play poker online (damn you gregg! damn you!)....

pray for me people..FUCKIN PRAY!!

and now...10 things that are fucking driving me absolutely nuts as of the first of this month....

1. fuck the city of cleveland. fuck them up their mother fuckin stupid assess. is it that hard to get a plow to clear out the back alley where the parking garage to my apartment building is located? i mean honestly..as much fun as 5'' of snow are to drive on, yea....hello? no! so by the time you get your assess out to plow the shit back there, guess what?! it freezes! so now there is 5'' of ice on the back alley..and now getting out onto e 21st is kind of like this sick game of chicken...except the person coming up e 21st is totally unaware of it..and i have to "hail mary" and "god please let my car stop" as i try and brake on the 5'' of ice and go skidding onto e21st.

2. jewish guys. what the fuck is up with them being so goddamn short in the midwest?! i'm only 5'8'' ish and i tower over them like the fuckin jolly green giant (cute, i'm wearing green socks..i just realized that!).....yarg!! 6'2'' jewish guys..where you at?!!

3. gay ass fuckin review sessions. i'd be fine with them if the professors actually went over shit..or actually talked about something that would be relevant to the exam...but nope...they rely on students to ask questions, which is fine, but it's a huge waste of time in the end because, shockingly, all my tests this semester are open notes and open book....so....umm, what could there possibly be a question on? either you can't read, or you just don't get it....in either case, let me chock that up to my advantage and my doing better on the exam than you.....this whole "ask the professor under the auspices of a review session" bullshit thing is just...a waste of time. and yes, i go because i feel guilty for not going. so shut up.

4. target. now, i love target...seriously...my apartment is like a tribute to their online store...but why the shit can't they send everything ordered in one package?! i ordered 3 vases, 3 ledges, and another ledge-ish thing to hang on my wall for decorative storage/display....and guess what? everything arrived the same day.....and everything arrived in a separate box....uch!! and i have no idea why that irked the shit out of me..but it did..and thus...it's on this goddamn list

5. i have lost all concept of time lately...so much so that i completely did not know that yesterday was december 5th, which means i completely forgot to call my dad for the specific purpose of wishing him a happy birthday. goddamnit! i'm a shitty daughter. least i got him an awesome gift....but still! i suck!

6. my average temperature in my apartment is 68*....and while most of my apartment is comfortable in a sweater (ie. the study, the bathroom, and the kitchen)...the living room is fucking freezing....so i turn the heat up, and then my bedroom becomes a sauna for the rest of the night...and then i turn the heat down...and my living room is like a freezer......and the yo-yo has go to stop...the heating and cooling of my apartment is going to make me go bankrupt!!

7. i haven't gotten a humidifier yet...mostly because i can't afford one until i pay off my credit card bill of last month...and this is my fault...but goddam, waking up liket he sahara while a snot bucket in the lungs and sinuses is just....it's not pleasant. makes sneezing a lot more effective though, i have to admit...

8. my dog! i love her like the four legged- black- and- white daughter i never had, but one of these days i'm goign to go postal on her. she has this habit of jumping on the bed every half hour after the time of 6:30am (and yes, my dog can tell time..i swear to god), until i just get so pissed off i get out of my warm haven, and take her out. normally, i'm okay with it because i understand that from 10pm-6:30am..well, you gotta go...but....this week? back the fuck off pooch! i got into bed at 5am...i took you out at 3am.....at least give me till 8am!

9. i cannot, for the life of me, type constitution correctly on the first try. thank god it's a written exam

10. one word: pneumonia. that's right. leave it to me to get fucking pneumonia right before my finals. i know! i know! some girls have all the goddamn luck.

I feel you. I remember final season. But I also feel you because I have the pressure of my dissertation bearing down on me. And I could name 10 things that are pissing me off...but I am afraid I'd keep going and never quite end becuase everything is fucking pissing me off this week.

*sigh*

Buttah - K, all that sucks!

The finals thing I can't help you with, but I can say that -sheesh- buck up girl, at least you were able to find a positive... sorta. kinda. yep.

The heating dilemma in your apt sound really similar to a winter I had in which I spent most of my time in the bathroom since that was the warmest friggin room in the apt. Yeah, nothing like huddling over forced air with back against toilet just to regain the feeling in your fingers.

Your dog? Yep, check... I'm about to punt kick mine for doing the same... It's supposed to be my KIDS dog, so wtf is up with ME being the outside person.
Jesus.

and last... snow plows. Sheesh, just thank almighty god that your city HAS them, unlike the buttfucks around here who think it's terribly unneccesary to plow unless every aterial has laid waste to a 10 car pile up with casualties.

k. thanks for the vent. Happy b-day to your dad and all that.

Good luck on yer finals love, let me know when you want to get together for bavarian creme filled pastries.

fuck pneumonia!

DZER said...

I say, accentuate the positive, in everything you do!

I know you will rock the finals, kick the pneumonia, show us more tit, get the humidifier, reveal more breastage, find the warm/cool medium.

good luck!
