Back to School :)

It's that time of year again. Yes, it's back to school time { everyone between the ages 6 to 25 moans}. Yesterday was my first day of class and my body turned traitor on me and I came down with the flu. My throat felt raw and my I was sure some one had hit me in the head with a hammer because my head was hurting so badly. Thankfully, today was better but I still haven't felt great. Anyway, I like all of my classes but I have a feeling that my mythology professor is going to be a stick in the mud. He gave us assigned seats for crying out loud! Are we in pre-school or something? I can't remember the last time I was assigned to a seat. What really annoys me is that I'm in the third row which is second to last. In the second and first row are all the tall guys so I can't see the blackboard, which is going to make things interesting. Other an Mythology, I'm taking British War and Immigration ( a required English class for some weird reason), Health and Wellness,  US Reconstruction, and Pathophysiology. I feel like this semester is going to be rather dull because most of my classes are General Studies. Since I still haven't taken my TEASE test, I won't be entering the nursing program till the winter term. A note to any freshman reading this. If your going to change your major do it early or you will wind up going to school forever like me.

Besides school, I had a nice encounter with guy a local bookstore and I realize I don't flirt very well, at least with guys my own age. I haven't really felt attracted to anyone for a while and he was fairly cute so I thought I'd give it a try. I guess I don't completely make an idiot out of myself since he asked for my number but I'm not sure if anything will come of it. But it did get me to thinking that I need to get out more. It's been 2 1/2 years since my last real relationship. I'm not really looking for extremely serious but I think I am ready for something... just not sure what.

It's Over !!!!!!!!

{Kitten bounds into blog with a spring in her step} Yes, finals are over and I am officially out for a month. What summer break is longer than that? Well, it is but I have summer classes that start in about a month but one class is sooooo much better then 7.
Why is it bad things happen at the worst times? I have been healthy all school year. There were the occasional colds but nothing terrible...until finals week. The Friday before finals week, Lil Sis and I along with two of her friends went to see another friend at his dance recital. My throat was really tight and I just felt off. I knew something was up and of course, Saturday, I felt like I was dying. Unfortunately my entire finals week was terrible. Do you know how hard it is to force yourself to stay up till 2 in am when you can barely breath and can't stop coughing? Well, I somehow got through the week with decent grades on my finals expect for Microbiology but I had good grades in before so that's ok. I barely passes Physiology Lab but I did by 3 points.
This week has been terribly busy and I have quite a bit to write. There is a few book reviews to do and a few music reviews also. Plus I plan to write all about my upcoming summer projects! Unfortunately, I have no new gossip to report.
Oh! Guess what? Kitten got a new hair color. I love my stylist. I never come out looking anything like the picture but I my hair always comes out looking good. I had a picture of light blond with darker blond highlights. I came out with a mixture of platinum blond, copper, and red (natural) lol. I love her randomness. So far most people like it but I have yet heard from my Lil or Cowgirl
Oh oh! {Kitten jumps up and down on windowsill, loses footing and falls on velvet cushion} I have a mystery for you. It seems that ever once in a while money comes up missing in our house. I thought it was either my half brother, who has a history of pinching money or my aunt who has dementia and sometimes miss places thing. Hoever, in the past few days something really odd has been happening. Money has been randomly appearing! Yes, my mother was going through her purse to find something when she found $60  when she swears she only had $25 in there the other night. She said it was one 20 and a 5 but in the morning she had 3 20's. Then on Sunday we went out to eat. The money pouch that I carry had two 20's in it folded along the middle on Friday. Sunday I found 5 20's. How do you miss count that? I suppose I shouldn't complain, afterall, appearing money is better than dissappearing money but it does make me curious...which isn't really good for cats I hear. 

Cops and classes!!!

{Kitten comes into blog and jumps as door slams behind } It has been a rather exciting morning so far. Something very interesting happened in Physiology today. We were talking about testis ( yes, the ever so fun reproductive chapter) when there was an ever so gentle knock at the door. Professor A stopps his lecture looks around and asks if someone had knocked on the door. So he goes over and steps out of the class room. A minute later he steps back in with 2 police officers. They asked if this guy was in here, they looked around for a second and left. Everyone started laughing and Professor A waited about two minutes and before he started his lecture said if ----- was in here he might want to stay underneath his chair a little bit longer" lol

Here something to listen to. Been feeling nostalgic so I found some Nickleback

{ Kitten walks into blog with a bunch of Spring flowers freshly picked} It is so nice out. Today is a little chiller than yesterday but the sun is shining and it is supposed to get up to 60, so I'm happy. I haven't been able to post in a while because finals have been coming up, ick : ( I have so much to do. This semester I have two comprehensive finals so it is rather difficult but I guess it is better then having them all comprehensive though.

Not much has been going except for studying. My Cognitive psychology presentation is coming up and I am a little worried about it. It is something like the 22nd. I didn't really want it to be that late but she didn't give us a choice. Also, I took my third physiology test but don't know how it turned out. Unfortunately, I don't have much to say so I'll leave you with a video : ) I was driving back from class today and this song came on. I had not heard it forever. I doesn't really fit my mood today but it does bring back memories...

Rants and Randomness

Ugh, class are not appealing to me today. Tempted to just skip and have a "me" day but I won't. I think it is Spring fever. It is just too nice of a day to be stuck inside a classroom study. Kittens need fresh air and sunshine!

I'm slightly annoyed at my Early Modern European History teacher. I worked my tail off on that last test and I recieved at B+. Both sides of the sheet were completely written on down to the last line so why wasn't it an A? It just really makes me mad when people who barely study, not to mention never read the assigned readings, take a test and get A's. I participate in class discussions, do all the readings, and do outlines for my test and still get B+! Oh well, not much I can do about it.

I left my charger at home and did not realize it last night till my phone was almost dead. Well that is quite a predicament seeing that on our campus, we have no landlines. Then I remebered I still had the USB cord thingy that plugs my phone into my computer and I could charge it on my laptop. The bad thing is that if I do it that way, it is insanely slow. It was 11:00 when I pluged it in and 12:20 when I took it out. Getting into bed later than normal is why I am so tired this morning.

Signed my up for an apartment yesterday, however, I'm not sure when I find out when or if I'll get one next fall. They are supposed to call me to let me know to come down and sign the contract if I do. If I don't? Well, I think I will just commute till the winter and then, in the second semester, get a dorm room.

Kitten's Busy Week

{Kitten looks up startled at the sound of visitors after falling asleep} It is finally break time for this little kitten. The past week two weeks have been nothing but tests, quizzes, and the occasional essay. I took my last test for awhile so yay! Now I have all these updates and where do I start...

Well the good news is that I received a B on Nursing exam, B on psychology, and an A on my History. Also Cowgirl had her baby and is now at home with Little Tim :) The bad new is that I shall have to take my TEASE ( nursing entrance exams over) because I did not do so well on the math.

That is the good and the bad but now would you like to here the strange new? To start out with, I was procrastinating one even last week and starting googling Russian Gang Tattoo's. What? Why would a little kitten look up such an odd thing? Well, originally I happened on to a site that was talking about the five most dangerous countries to visit and Russia was one of them. This intrigued me because while I had heard of the Russian Mafia, I had never really given any thought to Russia being a dangerous country. On thing lead to another and I found myself watching a video that showed all these different Russian gang tattoos. Here is pic.

Well any way, the Russian gang tattoos was not the strange thing that happened. No I found a picture of a girl who had a rather interesting one on her chest so, I clicked on it to enlarge and than bam, my computer was attacked! "Oh no," I thought, "the Russian Mafia is out to get me." They say curiosity killed the cat! That's not good. No, it was not the Russian Mafia but my computer was attacked and I even had the name of it something about ToolKit but I did find it funny that I was attacked right when I entered the Russian site and the sad part of it was I was able to enlarge the picture.

The Mafia incident was not the only strange event that happened to Kitten over the past several weeks. Have you ever had a person come up to you and they act like they know you, give you hug, ask how you are doing but you haven't the faintest idea who they are. This has happened to me twice in a week and half. Both times it was a guy, which is how I know I didn't know them. I have many girlfriends but I have only had a handful of guy friends in my life. My high school consisted of 21 people when I graduated so I know they weren't from there. My last college I went to was all girls and even though I am at a co-ed college now, I remember all the guy partners I have had in class. So who were they and how do they know me...I haven't a clue. One guy looked very athletic and was quite attractive. He asked how I had been been our talk gave no clues how we met. I could have asked them who they were but I always feel awkward doing that, so I just went along with it.

Now going back to Russia, I don't think I have ever said how fascinated I have been with the country and how much I like there music. One of my favorite Russian singers is МакSим. I know I normally give some background about the singers but most of the pages I could find were in Russian and I didn't have time to use a translator convert it to English.

I couldn't find my favorite song of hers for some reason but this is my second favorite. The music video was posted by ViaAlena{it tells the creator in the title}. I have more to write but, alas, Kitten has to get her tail in gear and get back to homework.

A Brief Eposide

{Kitten runs into blog quickly, out of breathe and fur rumpled} It has been a very busy week around here and rather strange/funny events happens but I'm pressed for time. I have classes all day today, two labs and a physiology test tomorrow, then Friday I have a bunch of things to do Micro, and that is just this week. The TEASE is next Monday {sighs} and then Microbiology test on Wendnesday. I personally think that is rather unfair but oh well. Probably won't have another post up till next Thursday. I'll leave you with a video I found on Youtube...one of my favorite American bands.

The Kitten, the ice, and the mocha

{Kitten comes sliding into blog and crashes into velvet cushion with a thump} It is so slippery out there! We finally had classes today, which was nice because after 2 days of being stuck in this room almost 24/7, I was getting a little crazy. Microbiology Lab and Physiology Lab were cancelled so it was just physiology lecture. Going to class in a three inch wedge boot was not the greatest idea, however. I want to dress up nice, well... just because and I have the cutest pair of tan boot the complemented my dark brown leggins and white and brown shirt. Keeping my balance on the sidewalk with not the easiest thing to do and I amlost lost my white chocolate mocha. That would have been a very sad thing indeed.

Which brings Kitten to another topic, why is coffee so expensive?! My grade white chocolate mocha is 4.50 ish! To me that is rediculous and if it were not for the fact that I'm addicted to them, I would stopp. There so good though, espcially at this time of year.

Ugh, I have two test tomorrow so I had better get studying. I'm not looking forward to tomowwo : (

The Ice and the Kitten

{Kitten is jumping about blog with elations and giddy with happiness} Campus is closed, which means no classes, which means no physiology, which means we won't finish the chapter on the heart, which means no test on Friday!!!!! It's so icy out there, though not much in the way of snow but as long as it is all gone by Friday and I can go home, I shan't be too mad at Mother Nature. Actually, I'm half thinking finding my skates, its time for Kittens on Ice!
Here is a pretty little video I found on YouTube. It was taken in England.

Quick Chat

{Kitten comes stomping into blog and muttering to herself about the weather...} More snow  and now they are saying that there is going to be ice to : ( This just isn't fair {stamps furry little paw in fury}. No more snow! It seems as if we just get everything cleared off the roads when and the grass is starting to peek and then we get dumped on. The thing that I don't like about it is that it is supposed to get icy which means that Kitten won't be able to go home tomorrow.
My Lil Sis is a sneaky little thing. I just sound out, via Facebook, that she is in a relation. You have some explaining to do when I get a hold of you Lil Kitten. I'm always the last to know lol.
So much homework and three test to study for. I personally think it is rather cruel for my professor to give all their test on the same day. I do believe that they got together and colloaborted their test just so I would have to send my entire week with my nose in a book and anxiety levels on high. Mean professors.

Rain Rain Go Away

{Kitten jumps up and down excitedly, then winces in pain} It took me 15 minutes to get that picture, that you see before you up. I don't know why but it kept saying server denied. Well, at first I thought that maybe I picked a picture that wasn't supposed to be use so I tried another and another, and another. Some of the ones that I tried, I had even used before. Then I decided that I at least had the license to put my pictures up that I took but think again! I was denied. I figured blogger was just being screwy with me so I went to the Edit HTML tab and voila, it went right away.

The picture is very appropriate because it is very rainy and rather cold here. We're supposed to be getting freezing rain tonight and Kitten just hates to drive on ice :( I'm fine with driving in snow, its ice that is the big problem.

Kitten has been walking rather gingerly today after hurting my little back, the lumbar region specifically. I think I did it when I was packing up my laptop {which was way too much} and my backpack which had all of my books. I was fine for about an hour then my back started to hurt every time I bent down to pick something up.

I have to say that I am having a hard time getting into the rhythm for this semester. Several classes that I thought would be so interesting or just not appealing to me. Cognitive Psychology is one. I much prefer personality. Microbiology was another one that I thought would be very fun but I just can't seem to get into it. Early Modern European History is one that I thought that I wouldn't like but is probably my favorite. Physiology was the one class I thought would be the worst for me but it's my second favorite.

But on to more pleasant topics like Spring Break! Yes, it is only January but you need time to plan. This year I plan to be away from Indiana for the week, or most of the week anyway. Aurora and I are supposed to meet up but where and exactly when is still unknown. While I would like to leave the country for awhile, with just a week it isn't really worth it. Aurora had mentioned Mexico but what is the point of going somewhere just to stay for four days? I can't stay the entire week with her, seeing as I have a few other little plans plus I'm sure I will have homework. Maybe California or Arizona, which might be better for her.

Speaking of traveling, I am very tempted to hop on a flight over summer break to catch a concert. Normally I don't like concerts but I really want to see Jena Lee but that depends if she is still touring at the time. Then there is the factor that I would probably have go alone, which is my biggest hold back. My Lil Sis couldn't come with and none of my other friends would be interested. I still might though, I have to wait and see.

Well homework is waiting so I shall have to go

Stress, headaches, and Sleepless Night Here I Come: First Day of Classes

{Kitten trots into blog bringing a sleigh load on book in tow} Today was the first day of classes. Yes, the headaches, stress, and an end to any social life started today! Isn't that wonderful? Overall, the day went fairly except for the fact that I forgot my coffee in my room so poor lil Kitten did not have to time get a new one till around 10ish. My nursing class was at 9 and for a class that is only once a day, I have a feeling that is going to be a lot of work. She says that for every hour we are in class we should spend three hours outside of class studying. Oh dear, if I did that with every class I think I might as well cut out sleep and possibly eating. Cognitive Psychology was interesting and the teacher seems really nice. I think it should be a fun course. Early Modern European History surprised me a little. I figured the professor would would be boring and strict but he is really funny and nothing like I thought he was.

I am a little sad because no one from any of my other classes from last semester are in my classes this semester. I did see an old friend from chem lab when I was heading back to my dorm. I have meat a few interesting people today, though. After I bought my books I went to Stalker Hall where I was to have both my Psychology and History class. Well, the name of the building seem to fit what happened to me. When I walked into the building, I seen that they had a cafe but I wanted to find my classroom first then come down and get coffee since I had an hour to kill. Well, I go up to the third floor find the classroom and then head back down. Well a very good looking gentleman seemed to have joined me. We he commented on a work of art as we were going down and jokingly said that he was following me since he didn't know where to go. Well, never having been in this particular building either, I told him that we were in the same boat. Once on the first floor, I went straight for the cafe to get some caffeine that I so needed and then proceeded back upstairs. Not too long after I got up there there the gentleman again. {I do not say gentleman because he was older. He was younger than moi but, as I will tell in a minute, he was very nice}. I sat away from me for about 5 minutes then came over and sat beside me. When he sat down, he put his arm on the back of the seat and almost around me. Normally, that would have not been something I would be receptive too but there was something about him... He started up a conversation that lasted about forty minutes. We didn't talk about anything in particular just things. He was going to a history class which is too bad, it would have been nice if he had been in my pysch class.

On a completely different topic, Kitten ordered a new book last night! Was it a romance? Nope. Erotic? Nope ; ) Medical? Political? Nope and Nope. Actually, it is about mercenaries which probably falls under military maybe. That might seem rather from left field for a little kitten like me but there is a reason. You see my first romance novels centered around mercenaries and then later on, I started to do actual research. Unlike when I was 15, I no longer see the profession as romantic but I keep reading about it because it is fascinating but also mysterious. There is so much out there on our military and even the militaries of other country but I have had the hardest time finding information on these guys. It is understandable but the fact that it is a more enigmatic has always made me interested. So my book is on its way :)

Well, time to hit the books.  

A Wintry Day :)

What a beautiful day! It looks like a winter wonderland out there. The snow has been falling for the past three hours and it uncertain what the accumulations will be. I know that I said I could do without anymore snow but the tranquility is so soothing that I do not seem to mind. I hate driving in it and getting my furry little paws wet is not fun in the lest but I have been tense of late and something about snow falling ever so gently is calming.

What is ruining my day is, though, is cold that has ambushed me :( I was feeling just fine the other day and then, wham! I woke up today with a terribly sore throat, a slight cough, stuffy nose, and tremendous headache. My Lil Sis and I were supposed to be shopping today but alas, Kitten is much to under the weather. I was really looking forward to see her since we really haven't had all that much time to hang out over break. When school starts sometimes I am unable to see my beastie for weeks. 

On a brighter side, I did get my Technical Writing class switched to History of Early Modern Europe. Technical Writing is well... to technical. The professor even sounded technical. He email to the class was very droll and matter of fact. It may have been a welcome letter but it didn't sound very welcoming. I want to have a fun semester not a boring one, so I switched classes. I have always loved history. It has been my favorite subject since I was in third grade. Originally, I was very interested in the Revolutionary and Civil War and the Middle Ages but when I got into middle school I became more interested in Vietnam, Korea, and Africa. It was not until high school that I really started to take interest in the Middle East and Central and South. While I have studies early Europe( 300BC- 1300AD), I have not studied the Early Modern Europe(1400-1860 according to the class) in a long time and it was never really in-depth.

Another good thing I found today was Cadbury eggs! Yes they are out and apparently have been out since the 1st of January. I am quite the fan of these delicious eggs and swear they make me gain atleast 5 pounds over the easter season. 

Now, I seem to have a problem. I am reading this blog that I like and the author is very good, very witty and funny. However, the blog seems to more for business purposes and I wonder if it is only for clients or potential clients. I have thought about email her and telling her how much I like her blog and ask it she mind if I read. I feel awkward not asking but on the same token feel awkward asking. I hate these kind of situations. Oh well, I'm leaning toward emailing her but we shall see.

Well Kitten has to get her fluffy tail in gear and start packing. I'll be leaving to stay in just a day and half! 

The Kitten and the Cowgirl

Kitten is in rather restless and annoyed mood for this time of year. I have four weeks until freedom and yet I'm unhappy.Why? {Kitten swishes her fluffy tailed with an annoyed shake}Because some people are just infuriating me. As I posted awhile, Mark and I broke up. I still have his ring and want to give it back to him since he obviously paid a lot for it. I was able to get a hold of Cowgirl on Facebook but was subsequently ignored after hello. Would it really have left her so put upon if she listened to what I had to say. She is such a self-center, back-stabbing, trouble making idot that I can't stand to be around her anymore. I just wanted to ask her highness if she could return Ben's ring since I did not know his address. She and Jason see him all the time so it wouldn't exactly been out of the way. Well, any way I digress. Since she ignored me and eventually just got off line and I decided to just email Ben and ask for his address. However he still has not gotten back with me. You'd think he would want it back but I'm not so sure.
Kitten has such a list of things to do, I really don't have time to waster energy on Cowgirl. I don't know how I am going to get this all finished but, then again, that is what I say every year. I just need to get to it.
At first I wasn't too sure that this summer was going to be that much different than school but I don't care. I just want a different routine. I'm also glad that I am getting off this campus for awhile. Don't get me wrong. I love my college and love being here but I'm burnt out. Kitten needs a change of scenery. Besides, may be I'll get a break in there for a week or something.
Well need to get back to the school work.

Kitten's Easter Break

Kitten walks into blog rather slwoly today a little sad. I broke up with Mark yesterday. It was the right thing to do but still... I feel bad. I don't know what I was think. It never would have worked and I should feel bad. This is my fault. I just cannot be in a typical relationship right now. It would have to be open but most guys I know are wanting something more serious. People say that it is usually the guys who do not want anything long term. Well, that's not quite right. I know plenty of guys who want exactly that, which lives Kitten with her studies, yet again.

It is Easter Break. Other than my break-up, all has gone well. I was restless Wednesday however but Thursday my Lil Sis and I went on a walk and that helped. The weather here has been so nice. I love it! Yesterday the high was 80 and I was sitting outside a good part of the day.

Five weeks until school is out and Kitten is so excited. Next year is going to be very busy, though. I will have

1)Finacial Analysis, MWF 1-1:50

2)Managerial Accounting, MWF 10-10:50

3)Business Finance, T&R 10:40-12

4)General Fitness, T 9-9:50

5)Fundamental of Math, MWF 9-9:50

6)Images and Muslim Women, T&TR 1-1:50

7)and Computer Programming. MWF 2-2:50

I was just going to take College Algebra but I thought a refresher course would be nice and I wanted to take it with my Lil Sis. The General Fitness is rather annoying because it is only worth one credit but it's required, so I don't have a choice. The good thing about it is that my Lil Sis will also be there. Images and Muslim Women is an ID course that we have here at my college and I think it will be interesting. Financial Analysis is just another title for Intermediate Accounting III. Also, I annoyed that the Computer programming course is so late in the day. I'm used to getting done by 2. It's been that way ever since by Freshman year. There ruining my record! How rude.

I finished the book, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldiers. It was great but in a sad inspiring way. It is so sad what happens to these kids and the hell they go through both during and after the war. While going through the war sounded horrible, the rehibilatation sounded pretty bad also. It would be so hard to help these kids get on track again. I'm currently on the look out for my books about child soldiers and have found two that I plan to order Monday, when I go the bookstore that sells the.

Oh {Kitten says, holding her tail to her head } my head is killing. I have had a headache all day. Why?

Kitten's Rant

Kitten has not had a very good day today. People are annoying and I am feeling extremely antisocial. When I went to down to get coffe before theology, they ran out and I hadn't even filled my cup up half way. I went to the little "cafe" that we have that is right accross the room where I have my first class and got some but it was vanill bean and I prefer my coffee black. You know it's not going to be a good day when they mess up your coffee. Then, after my business law class was over, I talked with Jasmine, who is in my business law group and she said that Katie had come up with five companies that we could use for our report. Well, that all fine and good but she should have given us that little tidbit of info last week, before Jasmine and I meant and decided what companies we were doing. I spent 4 hours researching and getting that darn thing ready! If she had been gracious enough to grace us with her presence then we would not be in this predicament. The Business Law Assignment was not the only thing that I spent hours on doing. I had a presentation on the French fashion houses to give today and spent about 2 1/2 hours getting that together and I never got around to giving it and propbably won't either because we will be moving on the the next chapter after spring break. Then {going back to the Business Law class} I found out that I didn't submit the assignment for chapter 10 but thankfully, Brenda is giving us time because most of the others also forgot. Finally, I found out last night that my VBA wasn't right in my macros so I have been spending my lucnh hour fixing it.{Kitten collaspes onto floor after ranting} Can this day get anyworse?
Oh wait. It already is. I have to get caught up in Accounting Problem Solving and Security. I have a test in Business Law and French that are due Wednesday. I also need to get the workbook in Accounting finished because we will be going over it tomorrow.
Need to go but will write more later Friday, possible, if I haven't said the heck with it and moved somewhere far far away on a deserted island{oh, wouldn't that be heaven!}

Kitten's Reeview

Kitten jogs into bog and jumps up on the window sill looking out the the sunny afternoon. I can't believe that this week is almost over, its gone by so quickly!

Kitten is rather flustrated at herself. I failed my accounting test{sighs}. I know I need to try harder but sometimes I just get so tired at staring at books. You know, it would be so much easier if I just changed my major to English, but alas, I have come to far to up and change now. So I guess I'll just have to work more.

I have started to read several interesting books, of late. One is the Art of Deception, by Kevin Mitnick. This is about security and social engineer. I'm only to the fifth chapter but it has made me stop and think about the information that I give and take. Is the person I'm talking to really who they are claiming to be? I have heard the term social engineering before but never really knew what it was. Basically, it is getting information from another by pretending your some one that you aren't. I work in an office and I talk to all sorts of people wanting to know this and that. I don't think we have the best security measure in place. The second book is called I Explain a Few Things, Selected Poems by Pablo Neruda. I have read some of this poets work off and on throughout high school but, this new book I bought has a lot more poems that are... well interesting. The book I bought when I was a freshman in High School was one of his first books called Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. Many of the poems were very explict but there were several like Puedo Escribir and Me Gustas Cuando Callas, that I really liked. I was also interesting to have a more indepth bio on him. I haven't gotten very far and thankfully, it's already transalted. My Spanish is worse then my French. The third book is A Year in High Heels by Camilla Morton. While the other two books are interesting, this one is the most enjoyable read I have had this year. Because of all my silly homework, I have been unable to read not much more then 30 pages but I really just want to catch up to February. The book is section into months and has more then just fashion(found in the fashion and beauty section). It seems there is a little bit of everything for women in here. I will hopefully get to read more over the weekend.

I have a group meeting tonight and I'm not looking forward to it. There is one international student who is from China and I don't think she really understands what we are supposed to be doing. Our Accounting Problem Solving professor split us up into two groups and all we have to do is to present something that we have learned involving Excel. The other group is doing complex formulas. We, on the other hand, are creating two companies and doing a bunch of things to the format of the spreadsheet and adding a command button. For one its too time consuming and for another, how are we supposed to present something this broad and time consuning in 5-10 minutes. I think Maira agrees but we can't tell her no. She obviously put alot of thought into it.

Normally, I like groups but I haven't had the best luck this year. My management group turned out to be a disaster, even though I did get an A. I also have a Business Law group project that is due in two weeks. No one in my group( just three of us again) has contacted me so I guess I'll contact them tomorrow. I would talk to them after class but I have French and need to get straight over to Guerin.

While I do have more to write, I'll have to save it for another day because I need to tidy up my room and get ready for the meeting. I have a four day weekend, so hopefully I'll get caught up with everything.

Kitten trots into blog restlessly. Did you ever have one of those days were you wish you were some one, preferably, some with a more interesting life than your own. That's how I felt today. It wasn't a bad day, actually, for a Saturday, it went extremely well. It lacked any excitement, though. I feel so...I don't bored, for lack of a better word. I want to do something interesting but even if I had the oppurtunity, I couldn't do it anyway.

I have so much homework. Accounting, Accounting Problems, and French take the most time. Between those three, I easily spend five to six hours a day doing homework. I didn't come here tonight to rant about homework woes, though.

I don't know what to do about my "relationship that I refered to last post in January." The name that I used for him has escaped me at present and I this kitten is feeling rather lazy at the moment so we will call him Mark.

He will be going back from basic soon and then he'll want to really get into a relationship but I'm not sure if I'm ready. I know I need to be upfront with him about what I want and not want in this relationship. He needs to know that I am unsure about marriage and that I can't be there all the time because of my homework. My work is the most important thing. As long as he is fine with a rather loose, non restricting, maybe a little unconventual relationship we'll be ok. I also need to point out the fact that I am pro life and if that did come up, I wouldn't be getting rid of the baby. I feel like these points are the most important. In past relationships{excluding James} I was not always open and upfront about how I felt and what I really wanted but I'm not doing that this time.

I feel like I need a change in my life. I need more than just a boyfriend. I feel like a need a change in my style of extra studying. This spring/ summer I think I'm going for a much more sophicated but sexy look. This year I had a very relaxed casual style but I want to spice things up this year. As for the extra studying goes, I'm defintely sticking with my courtesan/escort doscoveries because I find the whole area fascinating. I have also decided to look more into art and maybe branch into computers a little more extensively. I have though about making a blog for my projects but at the moment I have people from school stopping here every now and then to look at the Security blog that is for my Security class. I'm not ashamed at what I am looking into but I do like being discrete.

Well Kitten is rather tired after being up till 2 in the morning and is ready to head to her velevt cushion and take a long kitty nap. Night-Night:)

A Check Up

Kitten wonders into blog rather tired and ragged. I haven't written in quite a while but I have been a busy kitty of late. I got through finals all right. In Systems Analysis and Design, Philosophy, French, and Principles of Management I received A's. Intermediate Accounting and Statistics were B+ and B- respectively.

My Christmas Break came and went way too quickly. I had a month off but it felt like a week. I was able to do some fun things other than work. Lil Kitten and I went out shopping several times. I seen James twice, although he starting to annoy me but I'll talk about that some other time.

I did meet a guy. Cowgirl has been dating a new guy for sometime and she asked me if I want to go out with her, her boyfriend Phil, and his friend Mark(names changed). Mark was supposed to be my "date" for the night. He was really quite and seemed shy. At first I wasn't sure what to think about him. We had a nice night though and watched Avatar and Sherlock Holmes. Mark and I met again at Books-a-Million for coffee the following Friday. He still seemed awkward but

we had a good talk. Then the next day he, Breaha, and I went to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks. He had to go back to training, so we have been in contact through letters.

He wants to be in a relationship but to be honest I'm not sure... I have some reservations and baggage, not mention James.

I'll report more on this later but for now I am running out of time. Need to get back to my homework. I'll try to write Friday but I have four classes tomorrow(Theology, Business Law, French, and Accounting Problem Solving). Then Thursday I only have two classes(Intermediate Accounting and Security) but I have to go home and pick up some mail. Then when I get back, I have to get my notes ready for my theology presentation Friday.

Check-In

When I was a little Kitten I used to think that life could be cruel at times. I was worng. Life doesn't care, it's completely unbiased, it just doesn't give a damn.

Now, what's a little Kitten like me doing writing such depressing things? Well no particular reason, really but it was something that my little sis and I had been discussing a while back.

No, the only thing that is being cruel in my life is homework, alas. Yes, that troublesome little thing called homework will not let this little Kitten do much of anything right now. The quarter is about over, thankfully, and the that horrible thing ( yes, the H word will dissapear for 1 whole month :) !!!!!)

I haven't written in almost a month but, alas, it has been unavoidable. When I'm not doing homework, I'm working or reading, or daydreaming, or off in my own little world...;)

I can't believe that this semester is almost over. It doesn't seem possible. While this has been one of the most demanding semesters I've had { which isn't saying much seeing as this is only the 3 rd term I've had in college} next semester going to be a kitty's worst nightmare. I have:

1) Intermediate French, 2) Intermediate Accounting, 3) Accounting Problem Solving and Computers, 4) Securities, 5) Theology, and 6) Business Law.

It's a good thing that this little Kitten doesn't take cat naps or otherwise I would be one unhappy kitty.

Christmas shopping is coming up!!!! I can't wait and since I haven't been able to shop all that much because of time issues ( yes homework again. I know I sound like a broken record), I'm really excited. However, unlike last year, I have no idea what I'm getting several people (Mom and Dad mainly)

Not too much is going on with me of late. Just the same old same old. Need some excitment {cries} so bored. My daily routine goes something like this: get up and get breakfast, remark on how awful the weather is, get dressed and trudge off to class, meet for lunch at Jazzman's, finish classes, come back to the dorm and take a break, do homework, go to dinner, come back and do homework, then, finally go to bed. Sounds so thrilling right {laughs sarcastically}.
