I need to get the best possible grades from here on out. Specifically, human physiology 2 this summer... and all my fall courses. I really need/want to get into the BS/MS program - have to keep my gpa up. Screw human physiology 1 for bringing down my gpa this quarter... and of course statics from winter quarter. damn classes.
I can't wait for coop to get here. come on March 29th, just get here already.
I wish I knew which chapters would be covered in human physio this summer.... I would start reading.
I could just pick a chapter, but that seems way too crazy.
Well... back to training in a half hour. Maybe I will plan my bulletin board now.
Peace out.
And yay for incoherent rambling.

I wonder how much knowledge a person can 'learn' in a short amount of time? I hope to reach this potential maximum in the next 26 hours. Well really, after 9pm, we can just toss most of my knowledge for diffEq aside because I will be done the class and need the room in my head for materials and human phys. BAH
It's going to be a fun night. Wish me luck.

I repeat - I hate my suitemates. hate hate hate.
They are complete and utter idiots.
and liars, freaking liars.
I have a bagless vacuum that I leave out so we can all use it. Why not? I'd like to keep the place clean, right? I used to keep it in my room, but they kept asking to use it, so I decided I could just leave it out. I don't know everyone's experience with bagless vacuums. But I didn't grow up with one - this is the first one I've used more than just one time. But it is just common sense, right? You should empty it after each use so it doesn't clog the opening and the filter. Well, they never empty it. I asked if they could empty it after they use it. They still never emptied it. One time it was completely filled to the max, clogging the filter and everything. I had to take it apart and clean everything. After that, I wrote on a small piece of paper, "Please empty after you use it," or something along those lines. I then taped it to the handle. It was done nicely, you couldn't even feel it when you used the vacuum. They still would never empty it. It frustrated me to no end.
We come back from break and honestly I hadn't vacuumed yet. Before we left we vacuumed everything, so it didn't need to be cleaned. Jess and I aren't messy people. We don't get stuff all over our rug - it's stays pretty clean to the eye. I noticed the vacuum was getting fuller and fuller. It was pissing me off because I knew it was them using it and not emptying it.
I just came home a few ago. Now the vacuum is in the hallway - I have to walk past it to get to my room. I walk in and all different parts for the canister and whatnot are in pieces all over the floor. I was like what the hell.... and I was right outside of their bedroom. The one home yells hello to me. So I ask what happened to the vacuum? She comes out and is all ooooh Julia bumped into it.... excuse me? That would never happen. you have to push a button in on the top for the canister to come out. So I tell her this, that there is no way that could have happened. And she said yeah it did she saw it happen - so she demonstrates how it went down, including that julia "bumped into it" and then continued on her way. So say that was possible, that bumping into it would make allll the pieces fall apart and onto the floor, why in the world would you leave it like that? It's not yours. It is not your vacuum to just treat like shit and mess up. So she starts 'trying' to put it back together and she had no idea what she was doing. So I say that I am just going to take it into my room and leave it there from now on. And she then rapidly starts changing her story - not saying that didn't happen but that they couldn't figure out how to empty it. So obviously the two stories don't go together, so something is a lie. I say that it doesn't matter anyway because they never empty it like I asked them to do. So then she says that Julia emptied it. And I explained that they've used it several times in a row without emptying it since we got back, so that means they still don't empty it every time like I asked. She again repeats, "But she emptied it." It went back and forth with me telling her she wasn't listening to me that they obviously weren't emptying it each time. And she would keep saying the same thing. Because of course, repeating yourself is going to get you somewhere when it didn't even apply in the first case. And then she finally was just saying they didn't know how to empty it. And I told her that they obviously don't empty it if they don't know how to empty it yet. How many months have we been here? And they don't know how to empty it yet? There is a simple button on the bottom to release the bottom. It's not rocket science here. She seemed ticked off but at the same time you could tell she was flustered because she was caught in a lie.
I don't care if I'm being a bitch. Because I've given them a million chances and they continually treat my things like shit.
I hate them.
I really can't say I hate anyone else in the world. But I hate them.

Sooo... winter quarter is going to kill me, I realize.
Classes I am taking:
Chemistry II
Differential Equations
Thermodynamics
Statics
Engineering Design Lab II
Computation Lab II (Maple)
Persuasive writing and reading
=19.5 credits.
I'm excited... not.
The first four are going to be the most worry.
Design and maple are just work, not hard.
And the english... will just be the bane of my existence because I hate it. But at least I'm taking that with Jess (my roommate).
Hell begins in just over two weeks.
At least(good and bad really) it only lasts a total of 11 weeks. 10 for classes and 1 for finals.
Off to go pack the rest of my childhood up at my old house.

My cat is missing :( My mom hasn't seen him in almost a week now. She's passed out some fliers to the neighbors and has walked around looking. My mom just moved and he doesn't know the area as well. I'm worried he stumbled somewhere he shouldn't have :( I really hope he's okay... he's my baby, he's not allowed to get lost or leave.
sigh
Please pray he is found!

- Presidential candidate and delegate candidate filing continues.
February
Window opens for all state primaries and caucuses – February 5, 2008.
June
Window closes for all state primaries and caucuses – June 10, 2008.
-Democratic Nationl Committe Delegate Selection Process Outline
Dear Hillary,
The rules are plain and simple. Stop trying to bend them for your own advantage.
Thanks,
Stephanie.
P.S. Obama only needs 49 more delegates to reach 2026 for the nomination... which I calculated to be only a mere 17.376% of the delegates and superdelegates left :D
So hopefully she doesn't get her way. Because he can definitely do this otherwise. If she does get her way, she has the potential to reach the number as well :( But he without a doubt will!
Okay, enough banter... time to do work.

Oh also... I really miss my kitty :(
He is upset because he feels deserted. I left him. My mom can't play or cuddle with him right now. And my brother probably is ignoring him as per usual.
My mom says it's really sad :( I can't wait to go home and see him. I love my baby kitty...

I hate my body and my body hates me. It doesn't handle stress well. I don't understand it. I do know that if I am stressed whatsoever though, I get sick. What kind of life am I going to live if my body doesn't accept stress? I was home for what, 3 weeks? And I don't get sick. But practically the moment I go to Rowan to take this class, I get sick... and I don't mean I have the sniffles, I mean full blown vomiting. Yes, I know you didn't want the details, but I had to be clear. I'm not that big of a baby - I wouldn't whine about a cold, unless it was endless. I just want to take this class, get an A, and move on with my Summer. I want Steve to be home and to have fun and just be happy. Not to say I'm not enjoying myself here, because I am having a good time and I really like the people I have met, and it's definitely a good experience. I just want to be home with the people I love.
Things to look forward to in the upcoming months:
1. Steve visiting Rowan for a night.
2. DASA Retreat June 6th - 8th.
3. Sporadically attending camp from June 15th to 21st.
4. Chris and Jill's Wedding on the 20th - seeing Bryna and Sariah(spelling?)
5. Angela coming to OC for a week.
6. Sam and friends coming to visit - perhaps on the 28th of June?
7. Erica coming down for a bit in the beginning of July!
8. Moving to my dad's new place on July 1st or there abouts.
9. Steve coming home for 4th of July...
-Barbecue at Steve's for his Dad's birthday
-Barbecue at Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's in celebration of remission for Pop-Pop (hopefully)
10. Steve coming home the 11th or 12th of July for good :)
11. Kate's 25th Birthday on July 28th!
12. Kev's 1st birthday on the 29th!
13. Sara Bareilles concert on the 9th of August and hopefully Carolyn visiting?!
14. Fischer's birthday on the 16th of August!
15. And an ongoing project of helping plan my mom's wedding for November 8th!
I think that's a good amount of things to look forward to. Should help keep me motivated to do well in this class and get through it.
Also did I tell you that Steve is the most amazing boyfriend in the whole world? For countless reasons of course... but he recently just bought me an iPod touch! And it's so cool and fun and I love it. It's very useful. It has a iCal on it so I can keep myself organized. And it has wifi ability so I can go online with it at work or where ever. It has a pseudo gps application that I can get directions with. And a gazillion other things... and of course - music, videos and photos. I love it... I love him more so :)
Okay I'm done... time to go do some homework and stuff.
American Idol tonight! (I know, guilty pleasure)
And my roommate is planning on making quesadillas... she's dominican and I love her, she's so cute. In fact I love most all of my suite-mates. There is Tonya and Sondria who are both awesome. There are two other girls... but we don't get along with them so much... more that they don't like me now because I hang out with the other girls who they don't like. So cool - ignored by association. But it's okay, I'm not their biggest fan anyway.
All right seriously. Goodbye! :)

So Sunday before Easter I decided I wanted to start going to church regularly again. It's been almost 4 years since I went every Sunday, either being an acolyte or just attending service. I always loved going to church... ever since I can remember. I wanted to do everything. I wanted to have my first communion in kindergarten and my mom made me wait till I was in 1st grade. I became an acolyte as soon as I could. I basically kept my mom going because no one else would go in my family anymore. And then she stopped going and I kept going. I would walk or ride my bike if no one could take me. (not that it was far) I stopped going so much when I started working and had to work on Sundays. I guess that was also around the same time when I started questioning my beliefs. I sort of felt I couldn't identify with one religion because of my beliefs. I do believe that Jesus was the messiah. But I don't really believe in heaven or hell in any traditional sense. I believe in reincarnation and nirvana. But just like heaven and judgment day, I think there is something similar to judge your soul and see what you have learned. So as you can see this would definitely be a little confusing. But I think since then I've decided it doesn't really matter too much. I believe what I believe. And if it makes me feel good going to church, then I should go. Even if I can't identify with everything. I'm a really big tradition person... so I like going to the same sort of church I grew up with. But I went to church with Steve and his family twice and I still liked it there. He is Catholic, whereas I'm episcopal. They are both very similar except for some traditions. I realize it's a little early to be thinking about this, but I think if Steve and I get married I would convert to Catholicism. His religion is really important to him. Whereas being religious and spiritual is important to me, but not a specific religion.
Anyway.... So that Sunday before Easter, I looked up a bunch of churches and called to find out when their services were. Unfortunately it was too late to make it to them. So I vowed to myself I would go this weekend. And so I did! I woke up and went to service at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. I didn't know where I was going once I got in the building, or what I was doing really. But most everyone was nice and it felt really good to be there. I'm going to keep going now. It just makes me feel good to go there. And then I want to start going to my old church again when I'm home on break.
Okay I'm done ranting about religion and church, because I'm sure none of you even cared.
P.S. They had coffee hour, of course... and there was pineapple upside down cake - DELICIOUS.

So I just finished catching up on questionable content... I really like it.
But now I have to read it and wait for the next comic like everyone else... it's going to kill me!
It was nice to just keep reading and finding out what happened whenever I wanted.
Oh well.

So I decided I wanted to start reading Questionable Content and of course I will start at the beginning. So far I have read 100 strips. I think it's a good start. I wonder how long it will take me to catch up. From seeing more current strips, the art work improves greatly.
Also, my cat killed a mouse today. Great, right? Didn't know I had a mouse. The catch (hehe) is it was a baby mouse! so small....so tiny. That of course made me sad. Then I realized - shit that means the mom is somewhere. My mom said the mom might not even be in my apartment, could be in another apartment. But I'm still nervous. Or worse, what if she had a lot of babies... and the babies are here too? gross, I'm creeped out officially. Well I have to buy traps of some sort and put them out while I'm gone for Easter Break... I feel bad. I'm a sap.
I can't wait to go home again. I get to go home on Wednesday. Hanging out with Lori-Beth, hopefully. Spending most of the day on Thursday with my Mom before she leaves for Florida on Friday morning. Also, GYN appointment. Hopefully at some point meeting up with Concetta as planned. Hopefully Alyssa find a ticket for me for the show on Saturday? Then Sunday... big day. Easter and my and Steve's 1 year. He is coming home for the night. First, when I thought my whole family was abandoning me on Easter for the fun of Florida - I asked him if I could have dinner with his family. He of course said yes. Well now my grandparents aren't going. My dad is home and so is my brother and sister. So I'm hoping we can have a dinner with all of those folks... katie? And then I will also join Steve's family. I will meet some members of the family that I haven't met yet! 2 uncles and 2 cousins. Not too scared. I've won over his immediate family, mostly, that's what counts.
Well I'm done rambling now. Ta ta.
