The end is so close
The end of the semester that is.
This semester has been super hard.
I have one more week left, next week. Finals. On Monday I have my English finals; for one of them I have to write an essay in 2 hours starting at 11a, and my other ones I just have to turn in my final essay at 4p. On Wednesday I have my Psych finals; the first one at 930a I have to turn in the final (which was a take home test) and finally I have a stats test at 11a. Then Its All OVER!
So I've been watching this 9 part mini series on Reelz TV this past week, and I forgot how good it was! I started watching the series last year when I was in Connecticut for my winter break (my Uncle got the series DVD for Christmas). But before I left I wasn't able to watch all of it, and he sent me the DVDs to borrow in September, but because of this semester I haven't had a chance to watch them... Until now, the end of the semester, but now its on TV again.... hahaha.
I think I'll watch them next week with my family or Dom, someone would probably like them as well. :)
If one of my friends/classmates has a new years eve party that was as popular as her Halloween party, I may go again and sell Jell-o shots. She was selling them last time and they sold out very quickly.. So all I have to do is make 6 packs like I did for my bday party and I'll get 200 shots easy. If I make more than that they may not sell..... i haven't decided yet, but she has decided on if she wants a party yet.
That sums up the last two months...

getting ready for party
first, i had to get my hair wet so it could be worked with.
This is the lipstick that was bought so that i could have pick lips like Bell, from Beauty and the Beast. its called "Big Bang" hahahaha
Supa WIfe put some products in my hair, and then blow dried it so she could work with it in the way she wanted to.
And her way meant curling it, so that i could have the bigger curl loops like Bell does.
Supa Wife ran out of hair spray so we waited for the thrid member of our party adventure to bring some. So my hair stayed like this for about 2 hours.
so we decided to start my make-up while watching Tangled. This is after the foundation was put on.
Light pink blush was applied.
Gold eye shadow.
Eye liner and mascara
My right eye, with out flash on.
My left eye, with flash on.
the full face with flash on.
We were finally able to finish curling my hair, and spraying it. so much hairspray and product in my hair right now... it took 45 minutes to get it all out..... it was crazy!
This is Supa Wife in her Snow White costume, ready to go.
This is the third member of our party in her Esméralda from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame costume, ready to go.
Me in my Bell costume, ready to go.
I took a picture of myself in the car on the way to the party...
I took a picture the fire pit that was at the party.
We got there at ten and it was dead, then about 1045pm a shit ton of people just came outta nowhere and the party started getting good. (the party "started" at 8 according to the flyers, but again there were only a handful of people there at 10.
I should have taken more pictures of the party, like of Waldo and a WW1 solider, the drinks, the make-shift bathroom, the graffiti artists, and s forth.
The only things that were not 100% about the party were:
1. there was a make-shift toilet in the woods for the girls. it was a chair with a toilet seat cut out on top for girls to sit and pee from... and guys had to go to the other side of the wood to pee.
2. People were selling X... and one guy started grinding on Supa Wife
3. HS people were fucking everywhere. we warned a guy that there were HS chicks all over the place, so he asked us our ages, and hung around us for most of the party.
4. And the cops showed up but didn't check IDs (mostly cuz when they showed half the party left).
Besides that, my first Halloween party turned out to be awesome! and a lot of fun.

It's been a while
Next this past Monday (the 25th) I had PRK eye surgery. (it's a for of LASIK)
Today is the first day I've good back into the sun, watched TV, and got on the computer for more then 5 minutes. It's also been the first day since Monday where I havent been sleeping all day.
So Monday they numbed up my eyes before and after the lasers so there was no pain all day. I went home and went to bed for the rest of the day.
Tuseday I also slept all day neededing only to wake up to eat and put in the eye drop meds four times a day.
Wednesday was by far the worse day because in the middle of the night I woke up completely drenched in sweat... Apparently I got a fever and "broke" it, which left me slightly dehydrated. That day was also by far the most painful, I also had the worse light sensitivity on this day.
Thursday was cake compared to Wednesday.... Hahaha any day would be cake compaired to Wednesday!! On Thursday I didn't sleep all day as the three previouse days. By Thursday night the light sensitivity was almost completely gone.
Friday I got the contacts taken off. I thought this would be painful and it was not. In fact my right eye contact didn't want to let go of my eye so it took a little more wiggling to get it off.
Also today (Friday) we picked up an app for my dad to fill out to see if he qualifies for PRK as well.
I have the "best" tear ducks ever...... Not. When I put the eye drops in my eyes my tear ducks would absorb the meds and drip it into the back of my throat and I could TASTE THEM!!!!!!! blek!!!!!!! They are by far the worst tastes I have had either ever or in a loooooooong time. I'm sure it's leaning on ever.
Oh back to the contacts; after they got taken out my eyes get dry faster. But it's "normal". Hopefully not permeant.
The doctor also gave me these eye drops that are super slimy. They are the weirdest things........
Also no shit I just figured out how to make other chacaters (letters from other languages) on my phones keyboard.
I should sleep now..... Night

We could have
Tuesday, June 21, 2011
The other two classes
English 1: Harlem Renaissance.
I failed. Horribly. The entire class was about black authors in a white world and their book/story characters needing (if able) to pass as white. Everything was about the ability to pass. No matter how hard I tried, for the life of me, I was not able to place my self in those shoes and pretend to know how it felt. So I couldn't connect with anything in the class :( so I didn't do good at all. Oh well. This is one of those classes where the class number is the same but the subject can change between semesters. So When I take it again there is chance it won't be (and I hope it isn't) Harlem Renaissance.
English 2: Shakespeare. Easy Peasy! All through high school the literature classes were Shakespeare's writings. And we had to do essays on the assigned themes of the plays we read (comedy, history, and tragedy as the little minor papers, and a research paper for the final).
I got an A-/B+ on all the papers and in class writings... And she ended up giving me a B for the overall grade.
Then I had two weeks off and went to Las Vegas for a week. And from all that awesomeness I missed my first day of Spanish 1 class. :( oh well.
Las Vegas and Summer 1: Spanish 1 to come later.
I'll leave you with a picture of a hummingbird that I took with my phone. I actually got about 10ish pictures.
I so enjoy that my phone takes pictures super fast!!!! :D

The end of the semester

Implanon
This is that blog.
If you have a weak stomach, stop reading now.
Seriously.
Well mine was apparently a little bit harder to get out than the doctors expected.
Haha. Let us start from the beginning.
May 9th, the doctor’s office called me a 9:15 the day of my appt to try to change the appt time to 10am. It takes my mom and I about 45 minutes to get out to the doctor’s office on a good day with no traffic. And as with most appt the doctors request you be there 15-30 minutes early for the vital checkup. I also didn’t hear my phone ring, so I didn’t see the missed call until 930, so I tried to call the number back and "this number has been disconnected" which was realllly strange, so I blew it off.
My mom and I get up to the appt and as we're checking in we notice that my name and cell number are on a sticky note, on the desk, out for everyone to see. I hand over my ID to check in and the nurse straight away gives me bitch attitude with "we tried to call you to move your appt up" I said I got the missed called and the number was wrong when I called back. Then she said that she left a message and so did the doctor... so I checked my phone (having it a whole 5 days at this point just realized...) I didn’t have my voice mail set up, so where they hell was the message left???
the nurse tried to give us more bitch attitude by trying to reschedule for a different day, and we said that it was possible for us come back at a different day or time, that is why we set it up for today, at the time we set it up for... it isn’t our fault that someone on your side possibly messed up with how they scheduled it. The nurse told me to sit down and she'll see if she could "squeeze me in" (it is 1030 at this time, and my actual appt is at 11am).
The appt time comes and goes...at 1145 the nurse gets up, I thought good news, no... She turned off the lights to the waiting room area and Left for Lunch! Just before she left she flipped a sign over that said "this area is closed for lunch between 12-1pm"
I haven’t had an update on what the hell is going on since 1045. So I’m getting annoyed, and am not sure if I should leave or not.
A doctor walked out from the back door, so I snagged her and asked for an update. She got flustered at me and told me that a room was being prepared, and someone messed up when scheduling my appt... Which isn’t my problem (I got Two confirming appt called the Thursday and Friday before)..
Finally I’m called back after waiting for two hours!
This is where the fun begins. I had a nurse, a doctor, and a trainee to remove and insert the Implanons, and my mom was also in the room, watching... :)
They numbed up my arm... gooooood.
The female doctor didn’t want me to have a bigger scar, so she made a cut within the scar I already had on my arm to remove the old Implanon. The female doctor had these forceps and the circled part was in my arm trying to get out the Implanon.
My mom was telling me all this, because I wasn’t looking at any of it. My mom thought it was cool.. Haha. At this point the female nurse and doctor both mentioned that if I was their daughter they would Not be even be in the room. Good thing I have a supportive mom to keep my nerves at bay.
Back to the Implanon. Good thing my arm was super numbed up because the Implanon refused to be gripped, and would slip right out of the forceps. The female doctor ended up grabbing the end too hard, and bent the tip of it making it harder to grab onto.
15 minutes later
She gave the male doctor a try, 10 minutes after that I told her that the scars don’t bother me, the scar is on the underside of my arm anyway and to just make a bigger cut.. I can’t feel it, so why the hell not. So they did make the cut a little bit bigger, but still had trouble grabbing it.
10 minutes later
The female doctor had a good grip on it and it was almost out.. Then the Implanon slipped out of the forceps again and shot back into my arm. Haha I didn’t feel it, so it didn’t bother me.
5 minutes later
The female doctor had a grip on it again, and she was getting mad so she just yanked! I felt a slight pinch above where I was numb, and my mom said there was a white stringy thing attached to the end of it...
Apparently over the last three years a nerve ending has been weaving in and out of the tiny holes in the Implanon and that is what was holding it in, and what was yanked out with causing the slight pinch feeling.
The male doctor was ready with the new one and inserted it right away. A strip of sterile tape, a gauze square, and a sticky wrap were placed over it. I was told to leave to gauze and sticky wrap on it for 24 hours to keep the pressure on it, and then leave the sterile tape alone until it fell off by itself.
This is what it looked like right after we left the hospital:
A few days after I took the wrap off (the 11th) I noticed this:
First thing I thought was "what the hell?!"
I asked my not-doctor-doctor-dad and he ruled out infection. So I thought no worries, but the next day it was slightly bigger and started to itch.
The day of the 12th I went in for a "check up" to make sure everything was good, at a closer hospital where the male doctor was for this day. He ended up being busy, so I saw a different female doctor. She took off the strip of sterile tape and also ruled out infection. When she took off the tape it made the blister thing and the area around it itch like mad, it also showed that the other section under the tape was starting to get red and itchy. This made her think that I could be having a slight allergic reaction to the tape.
She said to scratch, and "Don’t Pop It." I didn’t, and it didn’t pop on its own... The liquid inside just went away (it took a little over a week).
All is well in the left arm of AJ again..

I missed you - this blog is long
I’ve been telling myself "I don’t have anything interesting to say" "no one cares" But what the heck! Tons of things happen in each of my days.... well not each day, but dang near! And I don’t really care if no one that reads this cares about what I type... Don’t read it... problem solved. :)
hahaha
I'm going to start with the past, and then we're going to the future!! ... So I’ll date things as I go.
Where to start?
How about school?
Yes, school seems like a good place.
April 22nd
I took test 3 online for my History...of psych class and got a 63. I didn’t understand why I got a 63. So the next class period my teacher asked how I was doing, and I brought up the test, not sure why I got a 63. He allowed the class to retake it, but I had issues taking it one time already, so I had used my second chance getting a 63. Then last week he found out that the grading calculation was wrong and my grade changed to an 83, yay. I would be happy with this, but with this mistake he gave everyone a Third chance and the highest of the three grades would be the one that counts. So I took it again after rereading the chapters, to try to getting a better grade, and got a 103.68/115.02!! (He has extra points to help out students, so the grade I get is the actual grade that gets counted. S I went from a B- to an A+!!! Making my lowest grade a 90.06/110.08 will be dropped, unless I don’t take the 4th test. But I think I will take test 4 just to see if I can get better then a 90 to have a better chance of getting an A or A+ as my final grade... I'm not worried but my research paper for this class (the "final") is worth 45% of the grade. :s
April 26th/28th, May 3rd, *JUMP* & May 5th
April 26th
We took a written test in Shakespeare. I was to answer a question in essay format. While writing the essay I realized that I didn’t have an intro paragraph.
On the front page I had:
"* oops I forgot the intro, it’s on the back,"
Support paragraph one, and
Support paragraph two.
On the back I had:
"* this is the Intro paragraph"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Support paragraph three and
Conclusion.
I didn’t think it would be that complicated…
April 28th
She said she didn’t understand where I was going with it, and would give it back to my on the 3rd to look at together.
May 3rd
I got a C- on the quiz/essay. She wanted me to rewrite it in class while she was talking and instead I told her I’d take the grade for now and if I didn’t bring it back it would be perm. I wasn’t allowed to change anything just put it in order (so I had to turn in the quiz paper with the rewrite) I didn’t have a problem with this. (After the day of May 4th will be the conclusion of this story)
May 4th
A day I’m not longer mad about. It'll be a day I remember for a long time, but it’s just a day again.
On this May 4th I went with my mom and dad to change our house phone service from AT&T to Verizon cuz AT&T costs us roughly 45ish bucks a month and the Verizon plan is under 20. (We should have, could have, would have done when they first came out with it years ago but AT&T didn’t cost that much then...)
While there my dad asked me Black or White. I choose the White one... if all of you sat in my English Harlem Renaissance this pass semester I would be a Bitch right now for picking white. But you were, and I’m not... not on this anyway.
I picked something that few people would have had at that time. The White iPhone! and I LOVE it!!!!!!! For many reason including, Email, the texting keyboard (minus the auto correct), its white so it looks awesome, and
I didn’t pay for it. <--- Best reason. :)
May 5th
As I said I got the new iPhone with email. I totally forgot to retype my quiz/essay, so as I was sitting in my first class I was typing up the quiz and emailed it to myself, and during my break I printed it out. This is when I had decided that no matter what I truly loved the technology in this phone (or any email capable smart phone). :) I know I should have done it the night before or the morning of before my classes started for the day.. But I forgot. So sue me.
this past weekend (May 6th-May 7th)
I dog sat for Foreman and his wife. It was AWESOME! I couldn't connect to the internet though. I was able to one time but after it dropped me I wasn’t able to get back on the rest of the time. So I didn’t get any more research done for my three papers. It’s fine though what I have ended up being enough.
Then WhiteU started texting me and it was okay at first, then as per-usual it got weird and creepy. He asked me Again if we could date, and for the third time (at least) I told him no, I’m not interested in guys, girls, its, or humans. He said "was worth a try" I thought "no, it wasn’t. I've told you sooo many times I’m not going out with you on a date or in a dating status.. It got way more creepier then that, but it isn’t necessary to get into it... it just sends shivers up my spine. So I stopped responding to his messages. Then on the 8th he asked how my day was going and I didn’t answer so he hasn’t texted me today.
The dogs were such good dogs. I had trouble getting to them to eat at first. But as the night when on they ate and it got better. Bed time was somewhat of a problem, cuz I didn’t go to be when they did, so they were making a lot of noise until I turned off the lights. Then they woke me up by crying and barking in the morning. To be fed and let out.
Today May 9th
I got my Implanon changed today, but I’ll get back to this... in a blog all to itself
Welcome To The Future...... May 10th-May 17th
My classes are almost done. I have literally 3 days left (which equates to 8 more days until I’m done with this semester). Tomorrow is my last day of a full day of class, then Thursday I have one final (social psychology), and next Tuesday I have one final (Shakespeare). My other psych and English class don’t have finals. YAY!! (bad thing the finals for those classes are research papers.)
But wait... My Shakespeare class has a Final and a Research paper.. what a rip off!
still, I’m excited that this semester is almost over, it just means that I'm that much closer to Vegas (June 1st-June 6th) and Barry Frickin' Manilow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (June 3rd, which is also my Grandmothers birthday) :D :D :D.

April 24th
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Complaint:
Why am I your go-to girl/guy? Any of you that use me as one. And why is it when I actually have a girl issue (since I still am one, and rarely, but occasionally have girl issues) or any problem that I want to talk about, all but one of you back off and get unconformable. It really isn’t my fault that I am female, or that you talk to me. It also isn’t your fault that I have things I want to talk about, but com'on suck it up and talk about it...
Unfortunately with all of my friends I choose everyone that is like me, a "talk about me" personality. I try my best and tend to back down to talk about you. But me, forgive me when I want to talk about me and my past, even if it is slightly tied to your or a friend of yours. I’ll try to avoid it... but sometimes I just can’t.
I'm a horribly mean person, I already know this. I've tried to change, but nothing drastic has motivated me enough to stay that way for long periods of time..... So deal with it, or stop talking to me. I’ll let you choose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next person: you know who you are!!! :) :*
You care a lot. Sometimes Way too much.
Do you really love GB? If you do, think of (NoName) and this situation you've gotten yourself into as a band-aid. Right now you're going as slow as frickin' possible, and it’s probably killin' him. Just rip off the band-aid, and if you want or he cares, try to go back to being friends. People really are not as naïve as the pedestals you are placing them on, he is probably already knows you’re going to leave him. But if you need it, please take your time. Then you can talk to me about what you want to do with the GB issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was going to copy, edit and past a note about you that I sent to someone else... But I’ve decided against it. Even tho she and I aren’t the best of friends, it turns out she is the only one I want to know about how I feel about you. She has almost everything I’ve ever wanted to say to you sitting in her inbox... even if she didn’t want to know as much as I gave her. Thanks for asking just the right question, in the right everything dealing with time, location, and setting, Bluest Eyes.
But I haven’t thought about it in a while, and thinking about it now the feelings seem to have gone back down to a normal controllable, easy to ignore level.
April 21st
OMGosh! I despise you, chick!!
You rarely show up to class, but when you do you are ANNOYING! Why the hell do you have to put your two cents in on EVERYTHING? When you talk, I can hear almost everyone in the room laughing at you because you talk too much! Also your opinions and thoughts have Nada-damn-thing to do with what was said... so your two cents is reallllllllllllllly pointless!
In the beginning of the semester, you said that this was your last semester, and that you were graduating. How the hell? If this is a needed class there is NO way you are going to be graduating. You have shown up to one test in this class, and failed it. You haven’t even turned in the ONLY paper we have done yet, if you are even going to ... if you even know we have a paper... You've been absent every time he's mentioned it.
And back to your two cents, just please..... Stop talking. All you do is my pet peeve anyway. Every half second and between every word all you are really saying is "umm" or "ya know" or "ya know what I’m sayin'?" AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NO, I Don't Know!
I generally don’t like the class, mainly because of the teacher, but you make it SO much more unbearable.
You, you also make more noise in the one class, in the one 80 minute class period then I do ALL week. All the noise you make: showing up late (again when you do show up) and getting to the seat you choose to sit at in the front (disrupting everyone), sitting down and messing round with the Velcro strip on your bag to get your things out while messing around with a plastic bag to open some candy that you crunch and suck on while smacking your lips ALL class period...... And so much more, so many more things that I can’t even list them because that last sentence is already too long.
I'm going to end this by saying after this semester, since I'm sure your not going to be graduating, I hope I NEVER see you again.
Thank you for making this class more awful then it should have been.
From,
~The one in front of you that doesn't respond to my baby-nickname from anyone other then my parents, so learn my learn my name and never call my peanut again.

update on the flood
Last saturday ... the 9th
I woke up. Drat.
I didnt have to work so i went with me mom to get her car's oil changed. while we were waiting we went to Denny's for breakfast. We saw our neighbor there with a group of his friends. They were just finishing up and leaving as we got our food. Then we got the car back, went hom for about an hour and left again. This time to take Famine to the Vet.
The vet.
The vet wanted a poop sample from Famine so they could run the semi-annual tests.
OF COURSE!
He had no poo to give from the night before or the morning of.
We didnt put Famine in the cat cage this time, so The ride over to the vet was Fun! He was placed in the back on his leash and stated meowing and walkin around. we had the windows cracked so that he couldnt jump out, but could get some air.
I felt bad for him because it was hot blowing hot air from the window on him and he is an almost completly black cat... He was panting and sweating from the pads of his paws.
At the Vet.
I had to inform the vet that i was sure my cat knew he was going to the vet so he didnt poo for us. thus, no sample.
we got to one of the rooms and he started his usual business of marking things with the sent on his face cheeks, and he did his exam very well!... except when it came to getting his nails clipped. he went Cra-ZY! he started hissing at the vet tech.
The vet has a cool new instrument, well i thought it was cool, i think that pets hate it just as much as the old one. The new thing is a temp and poo taker. it does 2 in one! so only one thing goes up the pets butt... haha.
the poo tests came out negative, which is good. :)
as my mom was paying, he was walking around in the restroom for clients. I was Really hoping it wasnt because he finally had to poo.
On the Road Again... To Home.
Famine was panting again this time we turned on the AC and i pulled him up front and put his face infront of the vent. I thought i was being a considerate owner, and he took this time to get into a comfortable Pooing position, and poo'd on me!!!!!
OH BOY!!!!
it was stinky! so we turned off the AC, put Famine in the back seat again and rolled down the windows to get the smell out!
Then after we took famine home my mom and I left again, and went to Dicks Sporting Goods to get some weights.
That Was Just My Saturday!

water spot
its looks like this all in the front by Mr.84! desk, and a stream of it to where the trio of Po/SupaWife/JW sit and where CG/DA/DW sit. but the back two are fine and the boss' desk is currently untouched.
we have 10 computers including the two i have in the front. Out of the ten only 4 work. the rest have water damage. Well one of mine works but it is connected to a power strip that was submerged in water, so it probably got fried.
again, Where the boss sits and were the best taxpro sits, those are the only ones that work.
the assistant property manager came out cuz the property manage herself is in houston and will be back tomorrow. the APM called the water company they deal with and told them to get a team together to come suck up the water before mold starts to set in. so they should be by today.
the place next to us a nail salon, it was one of the foot machines. a pipe under it busted. so if they are smart they will sue the plumbers that they hired that didnt cap the pipe right... because they are getting charged for everything in our office (which it to thier right), and the office next to us (to our right, if it has anything) and the other office to the left of them.. after monday if the property manager needs to get into this office she'll have to call our distric office, so i gave the APM the number to the distric office.
FUN FUN day! :)

and unfortunately, although there really isnt a definitive way of actually ever knowing, i think i'm partially in love. its kind of really pathetic.. and it is possible the undercurrent of why my relationships have fail, and i'm uninterested in most of the male population. but since i'm not sure, and may never be sure, i'll just leave it at that for now, and figure out how to get over it next.

i had an eye appt
Sunday, April 10, 2011
you and i
you and i talk mostly in the summer but not much during the rest of the year. one summer will come and go, when the conversations never start.
Then what?
you and i? we go on with our summers and years... we even might forgot about each other. we move on.
not as you and i... but just as you . . . and . . . I . . .
What comes after that?
the occasional "hey, whats new? how are things?" or a happy birthday only when facebook reminds us... if we remain "friends" online.
will we still be blogging? or secretly still reading each others blogs, hoping you and i were still friends or better friends, cuz we realize how much we do actually have in common.
but never commenting.
how do we become better friends if neither of us know where to start?
i miss you sometimes. i wish were we back in HS, texting, in Mr.Flores' choir class. . . .

i tried something new something old and have something blue.. whats next?
i really love being single, and not alone. i really like not having someone ask me what I’m always doing... do i have a tattoo or sticker on my head that says “hey ask me out, then do something creepy”
I’m starting to think i do.
WhiteU walks by our office everyday and for the past few months has been staring at me when he walks by... last week he came into the office and started small talk, which was weird. and “had always wanted a reason to come talk to” me. okay i knew right then he’d ask me out. he did that following monday (this past monday) he came into the office on his day off and talked to me, supa wife, the boss, and another pro for 2 hours! then everyone else but me got called off to do things and he asked me out. i told him I’d think about it.
then this past friday i told him no. i wasnt looking for a relationship for at least 3 years.. he said he’d wait.
later that night he asked what i was doing, i said watching cartoons and he said “ i love how you watch cartoons” I’ve know him all of 6 days. This may seem like he is trying to hard to get me to either talk to him or notice him, but to me its just creepy!! How can someone “love” something about you if they haven’t even know you a week?
The notes that are posted up before this were for a presentation that I had in my History of Psychology class march 24th, and we A+ it. Our prof said after class “I hope its okay with you, I gave you an A+” (that how I know we actually A+ it! ) research draft due tomorrow!!! I’m nervous and excited.
In my other psyc class, the one where we cant bring the book to class, and we didn’t have a syllabus in… he finally did give us a syllabus this past Thursday, after our test. I’m sure I didn’t do so good on this last test… so I just have to do good on the two essays coming up and the last two tests… so I do have more than enough time to make up the “points” to pass the class.

Pictures Texas- S.L. Partner
For Texas- S.L. Partner
Note: two solutions to the problem
Sub-note: Either animal behavior could be studied independently of psychology OR psychology could be changed to the study of behavior.
Note: in Watson's opinion, again
Sub-note: he believed that introspection was teh problem. he also thought that is psychology continued using introspection, future psychologiest would still disagree over the conscious mind's elements.
Note: Unsuccessfull Karl Lashley
Sub-note: Watson worked for a few years with Karl Lashley. They were studing thought as a faint contactions in the speech musculature (Subvocal speech)
Sub-note: Watson also agured that "feelings" were based on sensations arising from the reproductive organs and erogenous zones.
Sub-note: His discussion of sex was ahead of its time.
Title: Watson at Phipps Psychiatric Clinic
Note: limited space
Sub-note: he had limited lab spaec after the arts and sciences moved to a new campus. Adolf Meyer offered Watson lab space at the Clinic and Watson eagerly accpeted it.
Note: December 1918
Sub-note: Watson was back at Phipps Clinic, he had to leave because he was "called to active duty" in 1917
Sub-note: before teh war he published an article that talked about 3 basic emotions in infants - fear, rage, and love- the conditioning little albert began
Title: Fear Conditioning in Little Albert
Note: 9 months
Sub-note: at this age Little Albert was only afriad of a suddenly produced loud noise.
Note: 11 months
Sub-note: this is when Watson and Rosalie Rayner started the conditioning of Little Albert
Sub-note: day one, he reached for the white rat, and steel was struk with a hammer behind Little Albert, he started crying. he went home for a week.
Sub-note: the next test, Little Albert was presented with the rat 5 times, and the steel was struk.
Sub-note: 5 days later Albert was tested again to see if he was afraid of the rat, he was. he was also afraid of other white or furry objects.
Sub-note: another 5 days later, Albert came back, and was still afraid of the rat, but only had a slight reaction to other objects. a dog was presented to him, and he only had a little reaction, until the dog unexpectly backed. Ablbert cryed until the dog was removed.
Sub-note: they tested him a month after that with just the objects. they found out that the fear of the objects was still their just not a intense, so they didnt try to removed the conditioned emotional response.
Note: the 1924 confusion
Sub-note: Mary Cover JOnes was a friend of Rosalie Rayner, (by this time Watsons wife) so watson advise Jones while she worked on a prject to cure Peter.
Sub-note: Peter was a 3 yr old boy, who was afraid fo rabbits and rats.
Sub-note: Jones wanted Peter to not fear such animals. she used "Modeling Therapy" which failed.
Sub-note: Then she sat Peter in a highchair gave him a preferred food, while moving a rabbit closer to him as he ate for teh next sereral days.
Sub-note: by the end, peter showed foundness for the rabbit, and the fear of the rat and other objects were entirely absent.
Sub-note: later Jones reported that she had tried removing fears with a veriaty of different methods concluding that one direct conditioning and social imitation (which failed the first time) worked consistently.
Title: From Behaviorism to Advertising
Note: basically black listed...
Sub-note: after he got involved with a Hopkins student (Rayner), and his very public divorce, he was dismissed. since the newpaper covered the story, no University wanted to risk hiring Watson. so naturally he went to advertising.
Note: History of consumer psychology
http://free-books-online.org/psychology/introduction-to-psychology/consumer-psychology/
Sub-note:j b. watson was the first ever-prominent psychologist to apply principles of psychology in the field of advertising.
watson believed that psychology could not be recognized as a scientific discipline until its practical utility is proved by its application and demonstration in real life situations.
According to watson “If psychology would follow the plan i suggest, the educator, the physician, the jurist, and the businessman could utilize our data in a practical way.”
he himself designed ads for johnson and johnson’s baby powder. in that ad, he not only targeted the emotions and anxieties of mothers, but also used the experts’ recommendations and the impact of using the product.
Sub-note: He also did an ad for Pebeco tooth paste. I couldnt find his exact add, but i found one similar. he add was of a woman smoking. ahowing that smoking made her more sexy, but if she didnt brush her teeth with Pebeco, she lost her sex appeal.
the one i found looks like this lady's boss is asking her to dinner, but it wouldnt have happened if she had stinky breath.
Title: Waton's Learning Theory and the Decline of the Instinct Concept in Psychology
Note: Zing Yang Kuo
Sub-note: he opposed the instinct concept, arguing that "the term instinct was a cloak for ignorance of the subtle behavioral changes that accompany maturation"
Sub-note: he "proved this by raising kittens. if the kittens were raised with thier mothers, they were killing rats before the age of 4 months. but if kittens were raised in cages with rats, they never killed the rats. he concluded "kittens can be made to kill, love, hate, fear, or play with a rat: it depends on the life history of the kitten"
Note: Karl von Frisch
Sub-note: he is best known for his studies of communication by "dances" in honeybees.
Title: In Conclusion
Note: Thorndike is the man! :)
Sub-note: behaviorism began with the work of Pavlov and Watson after Thorndike's animal research. also with Thorndike's work in education and Watson's career in advertising illustrated behaviorism could be applied outside the lab to affect people's lives.
Title: FIN
Note: NO QUESTIONS!! (j/k)
That is the rest of the notes for the slides. sorry about the way you need to receive them.. no email at work, but i can get to my blog.. haha.
Anyways, titles are the titles, Notes would be the main bullet points, and Sub-notes would be the part that isnt seen like my other slides (in the notes of the slides so i can print them out, like the other slides).
SORRY about the spelling errors, work only has IE with the basic progaming which means no spell check...

the new me?
nothing about me has changed. so why was cutting my hair such a big deal? why do a lot of people say that "you can start over" "you are a new person" when really youre not? i guess i like it, but i'm still not sure. anyway, it is cut now, and there isnt anything that can be done about it.
as i said nothing else has really changed, so how can this be the new me?
I'm getting use to my glasses now, which still kind of sucks, and i still have 4 more weeks and three days until my eye appt. i only know i'm use to them now, because my ears dont hurt all day anymore. my ears do start to hurt near the end of the day still, from wearing my glasses all day...
maybe after the summer i can start to be the "new me" that should come with cutting hair.
in the last few days ive been watching movies.. something i havent done for a LONG time.
The movies that i watched this past week were:
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
Rango
The Dilemma
The Last Airbender
Never Let Me Go
The Social Network
And i'm currently watching Change of Plans
I'm not sure if movie titles are suppose to be italicize or not... oh well.
other movies i want to see this week are Beastly and Red Riding Hood only because i want to see how bad they converted the cartoon movies of Beauty and the best in to "live-action" and i've been told red Riding Hood sucks, but want to see it anyway for some reason...
yesterday Supa Wife took me to work. She showed up at 12ish to my house because she wanted to go to BJ's for lunch before she dropped me off at work. we were there for about an hour and a half., cuz i didnt have to be to work till 3.
we ended up getting to work early, so we stayed in her car for about 30 minutes. as she was driving in and up the strip to our work, we saw a GOOGLE CAR!! her husband texted her about an hour later and he saw one too!
At work yesterday, there was this Cute boy that dropped his toy behind my desk. as he came over to pick it up he said "excuse me ma'am" i thought it was the cutest thing, he must have been about 4.
then this conversation happened:
Boy- what are you doing?
Me-- my job.
Boy- ooh. what kind of job
Me-- i check people in at this computer.
Boy- ooh. do you have any kids?
Me-- oh No.
Boy- why not? Did the die???
Me-- what *laughing!*
Boy- did they?
Boys Mother -- (NAME!) You CanNot Ask That Question!!
Boy- ooohh. Sorry ma'am
Me-- Its okay, it made me day.
after she was done with her taxes, she came up to me and apologized for what her child had said, she also said that as soon as he asked she was mortified that he even posed the question.
i told her it was fine, and that it was by far one of the funnier things that a child had asked me.
now I'm off to do a test, and finish up my essays.

burts bees i love you so.
sweet dreams.
update....s?
Barry Manilow is still a surreal thing for me... but when i randomly think about "it is actually happening" i get really happy. :) YAY!
My grandparents are going to Mexico on Monday to try an unconventional doctor to help out with my grandpa's cancer. a friend of my grandpas has been going to this doctor for the past ten years to get an unconventional treatment for his [the friend] incurable cancer. when the friend was told that he had cancer, our doctors (in the US) told him he had 6-12 months to live....
My grandpa with Chemo has a 0% curing the cancer/living for more then a year... So they are NOT doing chemo and going to the unconventional doctor... Why in Mexico?? Because after he got his doctor degree here and started doing what he was doing our government told him to "shut the front door" or get out; he left. hopefully it helps.
WhiteMM is done with the drive, and is now moved into (NoName)s house... eehh.
spring break next week.. I'm not sure if i'm excited out not...... I think i'm going to go with not at this point. it might change, but i doubt it.
And last I'm totally going into debt to get this car when it comes out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYhKD8leAg (not linked)
Why you may asked?? Because its BAD ASS!@@!#@!%%&%$*%@@~!%%*^ That way i'd never actually NEED to learn how to drive (which just in case youre wondering BluestEyes, still havent gotten annnyyy ffuuurrtttherr on. :) haha) i would just need to know the basics... but it wont be out for at least 10+ years, defeating the point of not needing to learn between now and then..... so it is still on my list of "need to do" just not at the top.

please dont be.... aaahh it is!
then the class is over and we went to our next class, shakespeare. both me and this other girl were trying to pawn off the nasty muffins.. no one wanted them :( so now we have to go home with these nasty muffin. lucky me people at my house eat nasty things, i dont know about the other girl.
2 things con't the :( one.
i put my favorite flavor of berts bees chapstick through the washer and dryer today. !! all melted. now i have to use the normal one which, cuz i kept losing them, i have 6 of. so not a big deal, but i want to go buy more of this new one. (the picture in the last blog) i think it is really fantasic.
work is super slow, but i get paid hourly and get 21 hours a week. so i'm really not complaining other then i get bored.
school is going good. my psych 1 teacher still hasnt given us a syliabus, but gave us a handout that explains the paper we have to do.. and the first line says "the syliabus explains the grades, refer to that if you have questions" then goes on to out line our paper.
i took test one for my psych 2 class and got a 92/110. the second test is this wkend.
Oh!! & WhiteMM is driving 10 hrs away tmrrw/moving in with (NoNameYet).
i have 6 papers to do next wk btwn my 4 classes, & due w/in the 2wks after spring break. doing'em early, no time later. :)
2 things. this is the :) one
happy thing today:
my mom turned in an application to Lackland base eye center. this app was the first step to a long process to see if i can be approved for lasik. yay. a lady called me this morning as i was waking up to get ready for work, to ask and make sure some answers were the same as the paper. i was told that i couldnt wear my contacts for a MONTH and got an appt for april 11th at 7 am for a 3.5hr long eye appt so they can run a bunch of tests and dielate(sp) my eyes. after that i will find out if i have passed the second step to the lasik process.
this meant my mom and i had to go to eyemasters and change my lenses today and not this coming weekend. insurance cover the frames and lenses (my old frames were to worped(sp) to work with (cuz they are plastic) so my new ones are the exact same color and brand) didnt pay anything. awesome! i like being able to still be on my dads coverage. (the lasik is free as well)

poster..?
Wednesday, March 2, 2011
WICKED!
This is my year! :)
on a whim my mom bought Wicked! tickets, so i saw it again!! aaaahhhh!
at the end they asked for a moment of our time and told us about this organization that is helping and researching drugs for people with HIV and AIDS... they were asking for everyone to give just 2$ (which would raise 4490 for just that night). if you donated 75 you got a backstage tour with the people that played Nessarose and Fiyero of that night, 50 got you a poster with everyones signature, and 20 got you a reuseable bag.
my mom and i have a weird exchange of money right now, so she just added what i owe her already with the 50 and got me the poster.
woooo-hooo.. although it isnt Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) or Idina Menzel (Elphaba). >:P damn your (NoName)!

Vegas and Mr. Barry Frickin' Manilow!
I'm finally going to be able to see Barry Manilow in Vegas. AND i get to MEET him and take pictures and get stuff signed by him and have pre-show champagne. we also booked the hotel today witch is an 8 minute walk (according to google maps) from where the concert is going to be. i dont need to buy a plane ticket cuz i still have free ones from last year that expire July 15th... And we're going June 1st- June 6th. :D Super excited!
All i'm sayin' is that if he signs any part of my body, i'm coming home with a tattoo.
also i'm sure my boss is getting mad at me.. when he is given the schedule, tweaks it to his liking, something with my timing messes it up.
good example would be feb 10- feb 14 he had me working 4 days and i could only go in one day cuz i got super nasty sick, i couldnt move from body aches. and now this week i am working wednesday from 2p-7p... but as of today my mom bought tickets for Wicked! (730 wed) so i had to tell him and am now working 12p-6p, but he needs someone to do my job until 7. but he is letting me go home early... so hopefully (only so i can get the job back next year) i have NO more schedule changes.
So far my summer is filling up.. anyone else want me to do something over the summer? If so you should call my agent and book something i have very few days left. :)
so WhiteMM has a new boyfriend that i'm going to be meeting in the summer after i get back from Vegas.
she has known him 5 years, like him less than 3 months, has been dating him 4 days... and she is moving in with him in 2ish weeks.
i'm not mad, and i;m not her mother, but i dont want her to jump into something too soon and get hurt again.... well "we'll" see how this plays out.... i only say we cuz it'll mostly be me, and then depending on how personal the info is this will be updated and informed.

technology why do you hate me so?
so i took the picture.
i was going to post it to facebook & my blog right then for a before i fixed it. but i didnt for some reason. about an hour later i was done fixing it and filing the new papers so i took another picture "the after picture" & i realized when i went to go select a pic to send and a bunch of them were big question marks.
then my phone froze. so i turned it off & on hoping that would fix it... i was too late. i went back into my pictures & all the pics that i took in the last 2 months were wiped. my sd card either recoded itself or died. everything gone.
but i should have known.. i had a "feeling" the night before that i wanted to take off my pics... & i should have cuz last time i got that "feeling" (& i took off my pics) my phone got stolen the next day.
stupid me.
&dad if u can save the sd card i dont remember what theyre of
get to the point!
my history of psyc prof is finally out of the hospital, and came to class today. he's been out for 3 weeks. so hopefully he is better and continues to get better.
my other psyc prof is still pissing me off! this is nearly the 6th week of class and he still hasnt given us a syllabus. we also took our first test in his class this past Tuesday and did actually get them back today. i got a 74 on it when we started class and by the time class was over i had a 78. he "gave" us 5 of the questions cuz he messed up on wording, doubled the question, or has two answers right to one question. 3 of the 5 i had right, so i got 6 extra points on top of the already right answer. yay me. :D
my Harlem Renaissance Eng prof had our first essay due today. and i feel fantastic about it. i'm really good at writing essays, so i have faith i got at least a B.
and my Shakespeare Eng gave back our in-class writing today.. and ... i got a B-.
But that is better then i thought, because i had just about 3 paragraphs on my page and the people around me were basically writing essays. so i didnt feel to confident when i wrote it... but now i know she wants people to get to the point.. Just the kind of prof i like. :)
well that is that update...
still sickish.. have a lingering cough that just wont go away. and getting up at 6ish/7ish tomorrow to go to the base with my dad and deal with military people to get back on medical insurance. i hate dealing with those people, but they dropped me after last semester so i've been with out insurance for over 2 months.
then i get to go to work for a 12 hour shift tomorrow.. I love money. :)

the rides and the redeo
lets start this off with we went to the redeo and its a ton of fun! on our search for cotten candy with out red 40 of yellow 5 we found a ride that dommo wanted to ride. and she asked me to go with her... so i said sure cuz it goes in a big circle how bad could that be?
i also found one that i wanted to go on. it is a boat like ride that only goes back and fouth (or up and down depending on how you think of it).. this is where dommo put her hands up, and she'd never done that before on a ride.
NEXT was "the himmalias" which had a bunch of ski stuff all over the walls. this ride was interesting cuz as it went around it got faster and i was sliding in the seat to other side where dommo was sitting.
next was this flippy ride. every time it goes it is a random ride.. your feet hang and it flips! 2 of three things i swore i'd never do..& well.. now i have, with dommo. it was scary and my hair flipped out of my hoodie. haha :)

today! of all days today...
psych 1 - my throat started to hurt, it hurt to sallow my drink and breakfast.
psych 2 - found out my teacher is in the hospital with a severe upper respiration infection, and he'll be out for at least 3 weeks. we'll be having a sub... yay! this is about the time my sinuous started to hurt really bad, and my ears started to hurt. BLEH!
English 1 - i started getting a headache and i was getting tired of being at school, and physically exhausted.
English 2 - a slight cough started and i was trying not to fall asleep in class.
and through all the classes someone complained that the room was too warm, and i was freezing all day!
Then my mom started texting me, she is in CA until next week cuz her dad had surgery today. ... he has had some problems for that past year, and for the past 6 months has been going many doctors to find out what is wrong. no doctor knew. they had an invasive surgery today to biopsy a piece of some mass in the artery that leads from his heart to his stomach.
after hours of waiting and after he came out of surgery they found out its cancer.
they don't know what kind though, they are testing it and wont know for two weeks. after they hopefully find out what it is they will start Chemotherapy.
what a perfect way to end such a perfect day.
*correction, what a crappy way to end a very crappy day.
I'm calling in to work to be sick and cry tomorrow. :( I'm glad WhiteMM came down.
