5:39 p.m.

it was a wednesday

[a fortunate "opportunity"]

I knew it would be a good day today when it started with me flipping off two seperate drivers on my 10 min drive into work today...

but really, my day hasn't been too bad. I picked up an extra shift tonight, got another compliment from my boss about being such a good worker, and got rid of my super shaggy overgrown hair. My job was best summed up to my hair dresser today. After asking me what I do, I replied, "basically nothing but sit on my ass, but I get paid, so I guess its a job." She thought it was funny but was unimpressed with me during our time together. She just kept looking around the place, making facial expressions that could only be interpretted as "I don't want to be here, kill me now."

I was browsing through some diaries just now and I realized how fun stories about working in retail can be. I mean, we all do it, we all work at shitty corporate retail stores, and we all have to deal with stupid dumbass people who either think that they are better than us because they work in an office or are just imbalanced in the head and need an outlet. It almost made me sad that I'm not working at Target more right now. But honestly, some of the most painful work experiences of others are the most entertaining entries.

I am really wishing Jessie was online right now, but she's not. I don't even know why I want to talk to her. I'm sure the conversation would die after saying "hey". But maybe it wouldn't, and maybe that's why I keep looking at my buddy list every 3 seconds.

I found it a bit difficult to concentrate during my Kaplan course last night. For one thing, we were covering organic chemistry. Hard science just makes my brain tune out and fall asleep. So its a good thing I paid $900 for this course right? Yeah, I'm getting a lot out of it. Second reason would be that the whole group atmosphere was just not very motivating. None of us wanted to be there. Reason three would be our instructor. I'm so mixed on feelings toward her. She is this tiny girl who goes to UofM, in a sorority, wardrobe straight from the GAP, what I assume to be a year round tan, etc. She is so ditzy sometimes and overly positive and cheery. Not someone that I would really relate to. She's book smart but not very common sense smart, the perfect sorority girl for UofM. Anyway, she has a habit of wearing these really low cut tank tops and then leaning forward while looking at her book. I don't know about the rest of the class, but I can't help but get distracted. I guess its good though that I at least pay attention to something in the class, but I don't think it will be on the test.

Well, I'm slightly less bored now, my friend John has just IMed me. chat chat chat...*pause*. BRB he says.

My mom has once again attempted to lure me home. She tries this at least every other week. This time she said that she should give me training on how to use photoshop, instead of just sending me a copy in the mail. yeah, ok, that'll happen. I've used photoshop before, I just need a copy. I don't need to learn all the fancy shit it comes with, I just need something to work with my scanner.

Oh, follow up to the mall...Erika and I have decided to go and see Brynn and Frank from the Las Vegas Real World this Friday. I'm excited. I never got to go to past events when Real Worlders would come to campus. So I'm really happy for this opportunity. How pathetic is that? Actually using the world "opportunity" when describing the ability to join a crowd at the local mall to ogle some former reality tv subjects Oh, and did anybody else catch the premier fo the new season last night? I'm not impressed. I was turned off by it after the first 20 mins. I think I'll watch it though, only because its set in Paris.
