The exciting adventures

Of a car accident.

The picture is/was the end result of a hit and run accident, caused by a bunch of illegals.

So far the case is still "open" and they are still looking for them. We were fortunate enough to have Dom with us cuz she got the plate number.


In other news, I finally got my license last month.

Random things

So I saw the snake when y mom and I were coming back from SupaWifes house. I was cat sitting while she was in Porto Rico.

The box of things were free sample backs of pads and tampons that my school was giving out as some promotional thing. So in the course of a week I managed to grab about 30 boxes. I know I'm lame, but shit pads and tampons are expensive! And it isn't stealing cuz they were free for the takin. I even waited until the last day of school to take most of them cuz they were getting rid of them anyway.
Well THAT box. I took and and when I got home realized that they were all empty containers. Hahahaha. I guess that's what I get for being greedy.... I get to take out the schools trash. At least I know they were recycled boxes cuz that's where I put them.

The kitty cat. War is so cute, well any cat is, when he sleeps in bags or boxes with his paws curled up. I had to miss with him though.

And we planted these plants in early April and something is eating them. I'm not sure what but its only attacking the leaves on these plants and not the bushes or other flowers. .... Hum?

Nails are did

A couple weeks ago, SkittleHair, the not newly named yet SupaWife, and i never named her -so Lanky? All went and got our nails done. We all got pedicures and manicures as a "yea us for passing the semester!!!! And surviving!"

So the pictures are of my figure nails before and after the mani. And SupaWife has her hand in one picture and her foot in the other. My nails are all orange -ish... And hers are fully painted redish and blue. :)

pics of R. L. Stine

the one in the box is after i took it home. :)

the book is a copy of "It's the First Day of School... Forever!"

he is holding the unfinished puzzle piece at some H.E.B. somewhere in Texas (back in October).

and the last picture is the puzzle piece finished before being sold... to me!

R. L. STINE!

Guinness World Record 8th Annual Walk for Autism. Saturday, April 14, 2012. AT&T Center –

Congratulations San Antonio for breaking the Guinness World Record for the Largest Charity Walk!!! www.anybabycansa.org


So i went to this Walk with my dad, mom, sister, and brother. For those of you that read and don't know my Brother is a "Functioning Autistic," which basically means he has some developmental delays but for the most part should be able to hold a job, can eat by himself, clean and dress himself, can memorize everything (oh wait, thats not normal, that his autistic thing) and he also has the reading level of about 5/6th grade.

We did this walk just for the hell of it. while where at an hour that No Human should ever be awake at, they had a silent auction going on. The action piece were puzzle pieces (the symbol for autism awareness) that were made mostly by people with some degree of autism (or people that have autism in the family like tony hawk).

One of these pieces was realllllly awesome looking, so i bid on it. and WON!
The person who made it wanted R. L. Stine to sign it before s/he painted it, and R. L. Stine did! And a book to be given away with it!!

i thought it was the most bad ass one there! (if it wasn't i would have bid on another...) i won it for $65. Fortunately for me the ended the action early because it was starting to rain and the auctioneers didn't want the pieces to get rain damaged.
my sister bid on a piece that would have been nice if she won, but she was out-bid by 5 bucks.

The picture uploader is NOT working. I will try to upload them in a different way, or tomorrow.

my finals

My finals went well. I passed all but one, nd the one i failed i still passed the class.

Linguistics - (this was a normal M/W class) i passed both my final paper, and final test.
The professor told us that our test was going to be 5 short answer questions (and her short answers are a page and a half each) all about the 'red book'. with this info I'm freaking out. i didn't really understand most of the things the 'red book' was talking about so i was going over ALL the notes about the book and skimming the chapters. i was walking into the final knowing i was going to fail, so the night before i just prepared myself to fail. the professor was 13 minutes late, which was alright. when she walked in she had one sheet of paper (for each student- our test) and it is filled from top to bottom with question. a sea of blocked question (which means many parts to each question). when she hands them out i start reading the question, OMG, none of these questions have anything to do with the 'red book'! "BAM! i'mma pass this" i thought.
Finished the test in an hour, first one done. I DID! -- I got an A for this class.


Colonial and 19th Century American Literature - (this was a hybrid of W and online) SkittleHair and I took this class together. She has the wonderful ability of putting aside her own opinions and just telling the professor what they told us in her essays, taking on the opinion on the professor. I cant do this for some reason. In this class we had 4 essays. on the first essay i got an 87, and then and 65, then 56. when we got the the final i was thinking there was no way i was going to pass the class unless i got an 86 on the final. I didn't. either i really did write an awful paper, or our professor really hated my paper. i got a 65 on the final. i thought i was doom! (so she really thought i had awesome things to say in class and on the discussion board, or she didn't want me to retake her class...) either way i ended up with an 82 in the class, leaving with a C. One more class with This Professor in the summer and I'm done with that section of the degree plan.


Do you remember my British Literature class? - (this was an online class) SkittleHair was taking this class with me as well, but she dropped after the first essay because she did bad. :( I thought about dropping this class, but i wanted to vomit at the thought of it. Ive never dropped a class before. I Figure I've already spent the money, im not getting it back... even if i fail this class i should stick with it so i know what to expect next time i take it.
I Highly Dislike this teacher. I Will Never Take Another Class With Her Again! I gave her a bad review, and will be talking to the head of the English department about her. We had 6 papers in this class. i got a 50, 60, 60, 87, 76, 83 on them. (the 83 being the final) she also must have liked what i said in the discussions boards because i passed this class with a B. I still don't like her, and don't have to take anymore classes in the section of the degree plan.


Introduction to Learning Psychology - (normal M/W class) Our final was a 30 question test, consisting of 6 questions from our previous 4 tests, and 6 new ones over the last section. I was taking this class with a Psych friend (which i don't have a nickname for) and she wasnt doing the best in it because she thought it was going to be easy and started blowing it off from the beginning to focus on a harder PsychStats class. So to help her and myself we made flash cards of every question on every test and the new possible questions and studied them. We made these flash cards the night before the test... and studied then until 2 AM. Fortunately our final was at 4 pm the next night. so when we got up in the afternoon, we went to the school and studied for a couple more hours. All the time used studying paid off BIG time! we both got 100's on our finals which secured my A, and helped her get a High B.

I think from now on I will be saying that I'm a Psych major with an English minor, even though I'm double majoring, because I've never gotten anything lower then an A in my Psych classes, and get more B's in my English.


Spanish 2- this class was lame. the teacher wasn't very helpful, and i b.s'ed my way through this class (Sorry dad, it wasn't that important to me- I just needed to pass). Which I did pass. I got a C. Good enough for me. I don't need any more Foreign Language classes. (I will however be pissed if A&M makes me take another one because i only took 3 language classes to get the 12 hours, and not 4.



For this summer, I am currently signed up for 4 classes, but as soon as i get my fall figured out and finalized, i should only have 3 summer classes, and 4 fall classes. and then i'll be done! :) !!!!!!!
well kind of, i'll be taking on class in the spring to see if i can salvage things.

pictures and story of the yard

these are the concrete guys, fixing up the rest of the concrete. we extended the driveway and put up a retaining wall.
my brother got so excited about the new concrete that he walked on it before it was set. so we ended up with a footprint.. my sister fixed it best she could.
i asked my dad if we could put our names in the concrete... he called me 12, then said i could. You cant see them very well, without shade, so we decided to paint them in so the names stand out. but they arent all painted yet, so i havent taken another picture yet. My sister did the names of hers and my parents, and i wanted to do my own, and fucked it up bad. so mine looks really bad compared to the others. :( oh well.
later that day, we saw a katy did walking up the side of our house, got nearly to the top, took a rest, and i think fell asleep. about 4 minutes after it stopped to rest it fell all the way down (from the second story to the doorstep). i think it stunned itsself because my dad picked it up and it didnt even try to run away.. it also didnt do very well when he tried putting it on a leaf. my dad basically had to force it on the leaf so it would get off his hand.
we planted flowers. we just happened to plant them on earth day.
more earth day flowers
after they were planted we got red and black mulch. the red is up at the top of the front of the house, with the hibiscus' and these colorful flowers.
and the black is around the rock, and at the front of the house near the street with the hummingbird bushes, and something purple...)
these are milkweeds for monarch butterflies. hopefully they can find them... so far the only thing that has found them are gnats!
and yesterday we had topsoil dirt delivered, (that we had to shovel) into the yard, because we have/had a massive dip in our yard that my dad wanted to fix up so that it was flat and even.
i was helping earlier, but went in to rest when my parents came home. so this is them with my sister evening out a spot and putting grass down.
hopefully all the plants take and the grass doesnt die. but we'll have to wait maybe a couple more weeks to find out what has died and what hasnt.

Chipped!

My day was almost ruined. I dropped my phone screen down (on one of the ONLY places in my yard that could hurt my phone... a ROCK by the front door) and didn't want to look at it. When I did there was a huge dent in the screen.
I was mad and cussing and gettin all pissed off, cuz I chipped my phone. Just days before i was making fun of people who don't go and fix their phones when the break, and i was talking to Dom about new cases moments before.
After complaining for about 10 minutes, Dom said "you must have a bad screen protector"
"screen protector!!" I thought. "I totally forgot about it!" I said. I pulled back the corner of my screen protector, and BAM! The screen wasn't chipped at all.

classes for Sp12

This semester... ahhh. Im taking 5 classes, three english classes, one psychology class, and the last semester of a foreign language i'll ever need ending with spanish 2.

Intro to lingustics. So far it sounds more complaicated then it actually is... so far! We just turned in our first paper, and hopefully will be getting them back this coming wednesday (feb 29th). when she was going over the paper guidelines it sounded like i did it right. lets hope the grade reflects it.SkittleHair is in this class with me. We took classes around the same schedule so she could take me to school and back to my house M/W. it works out by alernating who buys lunch and I've paid her in advance for all the gas I would use from her. :)

19 century and colonial lit. this is the first hybrid class ive taken since my first year at vista. We meet on wednesday. The blackboard component is easy to forget, fortunately SkittleHair is in the class with me and she remembers to do it each week. So we end up posting and responding on Monday durning our long break. we turned in our first essay for this class last wednesday (feb 15th) and got it back this past wednesday (feb 22nd). after i turned in my essay on the 15th she was talking about how it should have been done and the things that she was looking for, and i thought i did it completely wrong. but i totally got an 86 on it! Go Me!

Introduction to Psychology. this class is Awesome! so far i'm lovin it. we had out first test two weeks ago and i got a 70/100 because i didnt put the right psychologist to the things that they did.. oops. But i got the bonus right. its only worth 20%, but i can drop the lowest test grade at the end of the semester. so all i need to do it get 90-100's on the rest of the tests, and i'll get an A. our next test is on monday (feb 27th) i'm excitied.

Now to my online coruses:

British lit. Sucks. i use to like brit lit, mostly because i didnt have a choice going thru high school, but i really really really dislike this teacher. but im not going to drop the class im going to stick it out and hope for the best. bleh. SkittleHair was in this class with me but she dropped it cuz she dislikes the teach so much. Her and I will never take this teacher again for anything ever.

Spainsh 2. im doing well in the class, but im asking bugsbunny for a LOT of help on how to structure sentences. all i hope for is to get a B. i'll settle for a C, but i just want it to be over. hahaha.

those are my classes for this semester ... so far.

how the years go by

My first year using this blog, i use up a small amount of the internet to post and repost reallllllly pointless things.

some of things really helped me get thru a lotta shit. then for some reason i just stop posting out of the blue, and just visit from time to time.

I have three friends that also started blogging around the same time or shortly after, and same thing with them. they all had lots to say, and now only visit from time to time. keeping up with blogging is a really hard thing to do.
you have to really motivate yourself to believe that what you say is either going to help you or help someone else out (or i guess you could just believe that everything you say is most important and clutter the internet with less then desirable information).

WhiteMM is still dating TheAsian, and is mostly unhappy with him, but wont leave. :(
Ambino has found someone she is currently happy with. i'm glad she found someone that she is willing to trust again after shit hit the fan with her. :)
Badmac55 is still longing for his ex, who wasnt the best person, to him or herself. but he claims to still love her, so i hope everything works out for him eventually.
SupaWife can no longer be called SuperWife, her husband went overseas, lost his fucking mind, and filed for divorce. So i need a new name for her... but what to call her?

AND I have a new person to add to my very short lists of people I call friends. congrats to SkittleHair. Thanks WhiteMM for the name. :)

The end is so close

For those that get the email updates sorry for the movie post, with nothing else in it...

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

i went to my first "adult" Halloween 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

So this is the first I'm updating my blog from my phone not through an email or text.

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

"We could have had it all"
and now all I can think is
"who do you think you are?"

If you thought I was cold and heartless while we were dating, I was left in a much darker, icier tundra, after you were done with me.

Unfortunately for you I loved you. 
Unfortunately for me I never stopped. I just got really good at hiding it. I even find myself still defending you.. Something I could never count on you doing for me. 

You're not a terrible person, just a bad guy, and an awful boyfriend.

I do hope that one day you find happiness, or at least someone better then me. If in 10, 15, or 20 years you still haven't found it, well... That's what you get for looking for something better, giving up, and mentally never coming home. 

I'm sorry you have to grow up now, but life's a bitch and you do your best to deal with it.

Don't read this and feel all cocky about yourself. I will get over you one day. 
I'm sorry for a lot of things that happened in our relationship. And I am sorry that some of them were with you, but I'll never be sorry for the high school part of our relationship (excluding 2 things). That was the best year + a few months. 

I don't know how to end this on any other note than sad or disappointing, so I'll just say that's it.

The other two classes

My English 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

So much to talk about. 


How I ended the semester. 
I passed crazy professors class (social psychology) with a C. The last day of class he showed us how to calculate what we needed on the final To pass the class with a desired grade. And since I didn't do so hot in his oh so boring class I needed to make 73/75. Yeah friction' right!! well I know for sure I did NOT get a nearly perfect score on the final. But I got a C in the class. I can't prove it but I'm damn sure he was thinking the same thing I was "I don't want to (take this/have this person in my) class again!!"

History to psychology. This was a senior level course and I passed it with an A. Yea me!! It wasn't a hard class, the Online test were straight from the book. The Online tests that you took at home and he gave you a week to do. 
With each test that we took there seemed to be some issue with the calculations or with students taking the test, so we all get two or three chances to take them. :)
We had a total of four tests (the fourth being the final but not being a final-- it wasn't comprehensive, it was just the last three chapters). The lowest test grade was dropped. With all the extra tries we had on the tests my lowest grade ended up being a 93. Making over a 100 was possible on all tests because he didn't grade on a curve, but still wanted to help his students out. I made over a 100 on the remaining three tests. Awesomeness. 

One of the other things that made up our grade was a research paper. :)-- totally easy. And the last thing was two separate group projects. The first group project y partner somehow messed up majorly I did all the notes all he had to do was put it in a PowerPoint mtgs issue he had was he has a fucking Mac. He doesn't have PowerPoint and he didn't give himself enough time to convert. Fortuneately we saved ourselves by just explaining everything, and the teacher was in the hospital so the students gave us a good grade. And my second one was awesome went off with out any problems. !!!

That was only two classes but I think I'll stop here for now.

Implanon

Two weeks ago I mentioned I have my Implanon removed and a new one put it, and that there would be a blog about it...

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

This blog that is.
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.
