Won't be around forever, girl

I AM 100% DONE FIN FINITO WITH COLLEGE OMFG





( PARTY HARD )

95% of everything that was in my apartment is now here, but I'm going back on Sunday to pick up a few odds and ends. I haven't unpacked aaaaanything yet haha. I'm also trying to get ready and cook and stuff for an open house/get together tomorrow so YAY THAT TOO. I hope my relatives send me a lot of grad money, I WANT TO GO TO HONG KONG.

TODAY was my last first day of class ever. :D

Latino Literature looks like it's going to be fun. REALLY hard, but fun. It's an upper Gordon Level (it's LIT 4680, or something like that) so that means 12-15 page paper in November, woo. The professor seems awesome and it's an actual READING CLASS, like, read a book in a week and a half and then discuss it for another two weeks. I haven't had a lit class like that in a while, so I'm excited.

I originally wanted to switch the Spanish II class I have now with an earlier time, but I really like the professor of this one so I think I'll keep it. Man, I'll be hablando mucho mucho espanol por diciembre. Good times. The only bad thing about having this later class is that I have to walk a lot around campus during the hottest part of the day, and ughhh it's seriously so awful. Also the fact that the later it gets, the worse traffic is outside the campus. Also extreme amounts of unfun. (I have a very strong personal belief that unless you live in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Orlando, or Tampa, you are SO not allowed to complain about traffic. Therefore, I probably will be lots.)

Shakespeare studies is going to be a freaking breeze, as the professor lives in CALIFORNIA and doesn't really spend all her time dealing with her online classes, heh.

Also, my sister started her first ever day of college yesterday, aww! I really can't believe it. She going to attempt nursing, which is pretty freaking prestigious, especially at USF. She had Bio I yesterday and I was like GET IT GURL, that's more science than I ever took in my college career, haha.

I'm stupidly excited that it's almost September, meaning cooler weather is like, two months away instead of three now, haha. We also got our shipment in of pumpkin spice syrup at work AHHH FUCK YES. Pumpkin spice soy chai's, HERE I COME.

Also, in case you WEREN'T AWARE, from @theindigocherry/cherryscott: Misha is on my flight! and SO SERIOUS. Pics l8r. V w him omfg. JCLASKDJFOAWEIJALSDKJ SO AWESOME.

We were informed this morning at work that, haha, oh God. It won't mean much for the 95% who DON'T work at Starbucks, but. On Election Day last year the company decided to give away a tall coffee if you showed your election sticker without informing us employees weeks beforehand so we couldn't, you know, STOCK UP ON COFFEE. And coffee-like accessories. I cannot even TELL YOU how busy we were. It was a nightmare. FOR A 12 OZ CUP OF BLACK COFFEE. And then today we're told that this Tuesday, we're giving away a free pastry. I just. You've got to be fucking KIDDING ME. And then they send a memo, "Oh, don't change your pastry order! Eeeeverything is under control." FALSE. I don't care if they say they're going to autoship 20394832 tons of pastries, SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. Pastries, for God's sake. People like food more than they like coffee. I open that morning, and I've already told my manager that I CANNOT stay any later than 10am, as I have to drive back home and kinda sorta CATCH A FLIGHT. Seriously. Disastrous. Just awesome.

And by the way, customers of Starbucks, I am not your coffee robot. I am a human being, and I like being treated as such. Buy an espresso machine if you think you can do better.

Sorry. All I've pretty much been doing is working and coming back and pretty much working the rest of the day on homework and nothing else. Still haven't got enough done before going on the trip. Summer terms are glorious for being so short but maaaan, do they cram a lot in in 6 weeks.

I DID see Harry Potter on Tuesday and I really really liked it. As an adaption maybe not so much but I dunno! There were just these little things all throughout the movie that just made me STUPID with glee! I need to reread the book again though, definitely. HAHA the part at the end with the Felix Felicis. BEST.

And oh yes, oh yessss, 4 days until the trip. I am BEYOND excited. Just gotta get through this 6 day work stretch, SIGH.

Oh man, you guys, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. I'm not as familiar with the latter, but I was listening to Thriller earlier and it reminds me so much of listening to it when I was a kid. :(((

Apparently Jared and Jensen aren't gonna be at Comic Con. :((( Okay, yes, I was super bummed when I saw that, BUT I get to see MIIIISHA for the first time! EEEE! And, you know, I'm actually GOING to Comic Con (the epic nerdiness of which no one can fathom unless you've seen it with your own eyes) and this whole roadtrip too, so I REFUSE to be bummed! Guess I'll just have to wait until next time for Jensen and I to have that makeout session, SIGH.

Today was my last class and final exam for Spanish I. Piece of cake, thank God. I'm glad I already took 3 years in high school. Now I only have 17 more credits before I can graduate! ASLDKFJASLJK I'M SO CLOSE. I think next month I can apply for graduation! SO MUCH YAY I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU.

Yellow Fever was DELIGHTFUL. Now to bed. I can't tell you how excited I am to sleep in tomorrow until 6am. MAN.

SO, APPARENTLY, Michael Jordan's son (you know, Chicago Bulls, basketball playing Michael Jordan) signed up to play basketball here at UCF! Which is kind of hilarious because wtf, UCF, BUT. This guy who comes into Starbucks all the time said that yesterday he was at the gym, just running, and IN WALKS MICHAEL JORDAN HIMSELF. To survey the campus! HOW AWESOME IS THAT, SERIOUSLY. So now I could go to a UCF game and probably see him in the stands, just watching his son play! HAHA WHAAAAT.

LKFJALKSDJALSKAS IN TWO AND A HALF HOURS BRET AND JEMAINE WILL BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. SINGING. AND. OH MY GOD. It really didn't hit me until last night but now, AHHH HOLY GOD I'M SO EXCITEDDDDD. I am TOTALLY bringing my good camera and also hiding my smaller not-so-good camera in case they check bags at the door and tell me I can't bring my other one in, SO. IN ANY CASE. THERE WILL BE PICTURES. AND HOPEFULLY VIDEO. Omfgggggg.

Ugh, now if someone could finish my critical lit theory new historicism paper for me, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I know nothing about tonight's episode besides what we saw in the promo last week, but still, ( I HAVE SPECULATIONS. )

Uggghh, one class down, two to go. I feel like zombie. Until I find a new job, I don't think I'll ever really catch up on my sleep. All my shifts this week and next week are 6:30am or earlier. :\

( I had a mythology professor who called sex 'whoopie.' INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH. )

I have the OFFICIAL WORD from my advisor that I have only six more classes and then I can graduate. SIX CLASSES. Spanish I, Spanish II (yeah, I put off those language credits; good thing I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, so they should be a breeze), Linguistics, Statistics (>:(!!!), a Major Author (such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, etc), and an English Lit from before 1860. I can file for my intent to graduate in July. :D!!!!!!!!!

This last week's Flight of the Conchords was amazing. AMAZING AMAZING. They had better release a CD, dammit, I NEED IT.

I started my classes really officially today at 9am, and because I had NO idea what my classes were even going to be when my manager made the schedule for this week, I was scheduled to work 6:15-12:00. I had been trying since FRIDAY to find someone to cover my shift. I called TONS of people again, left messages, called different stores, and no one, NO ONE helped me. The same exact thing happened when I was really sick about a month or so ago. Not to mention I picked up TWO SHIFTS this week. I mean SERIOUSLY. So, of course, yesterday I was stressing about it really really bad. Like, sick to my stomach bad. Tuesdays are our busiest morning, and whenever the temperature drops (like it did) our business picks up tremendously. I was so, so worried about it, and when I came in this morning I must have looked awful because my shift manager was like, "Did you not find anyone to cover? Honey, have you been worrying about this all night?" and I managed a wibbly affirmative, and both the girls were like, "Don't worry about it, seriously!" So. SO. There's that. I felt so much better, even if I did still feel awful. OH WELL. These things cannot be helped sometimes, I guess. Like when people are all epic douchebuckets.

Anyway, my pain-in-the-ass-but-I'm-finally-there classes for this semester:

T & Thu
9:00-10:15 Communications (Apparently UCF requires three extra gen eds that USF did not! Communications, Statistics, and Economics or Government. UGH. Apparently for this class we're doing this thing called Junior Achievement, where once a week for five weeks we're teaching at an elementary school. At first I was like, UHHH, EXCUSE ME WHAT. But I guess it's pretty cool and it HELLA beats having to speak in front of your own classmates, I guess!)
12:00-1:15 Theories of Literature (OH how long I have put off taking this class. Certain types of literary criticism is not my strong point, but I think it'll still be interesting, if totally and completely aggravating.)
1:30-2:45 Intro to Macroeconomics (GEN EDS UGH. But the professor kind of looks like a darker-skinned Robert Downey Jr. and has the same accent as Borat and didn't put me to sleep, so! V. doable, I GUESS.)

YAWN, BORING, I KNOW. WELL, at least tomorrow I'm going home and then we're getting up at my normal waking hours of 4am and driving to Georgia! EEEEEEE. Looks like there's no snow in the forecast now, sigh, but we'll be getting there just in time for a freaking cold cold front that's moving in, so! GOOD TIMES ALL AROUND.

Tommorrow morning will be my 8th day in a row working but after that I'm DONE and GOING and YAY. Oh man I'm tired.

ETA: HAHA this Jensen interview for MBV. BLONDE, HI. His face when the dude mentioned Devour! HAHAHA. ♥!!!

AGHGAH;WIOAGHALSSAGHHHHHHHHH.

HEY. HEY I CAN'T REGISTER FOR CLASSES. YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT HOLDS ON MY RECORD. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT KIND OF HOLDS? IMMUNIZATION HOLDS. I GOTTA GO GET FUCKING SHOTS LIKE I'M GOING TO THE VET BEFORE I CAN GO TO CLASS.

AHHHHHHHAGHAWAIOHAORI.

That is pretty much how I currently feel at the moment.

So yeah! Advising today. Not too many classes open, but I can snag one or two that will make a difference right now. Go to my advisor and she tells me all this, then sends me down to the center where they can force through the class that I need. And that's what they tell me. Amazing. I'm just pretty much running around in circles at this point. The only highlight of this whole thing is that she asked when I was planning on graduating, and I said winter of '09 and she said, yeah, oh yeah, you'll definitely be good by that point.

But SHOTS and oh God NEEDLES, I CAN'T, I CAN'T DO NEEDLES. I haven't had an immunization in a long while, but EVERY TIME I get blood tests I very nearly pass out and God, I just. The thought is making me sick to my stomach. I don't WANT TO. This is STUPID.

To top it all off I feel pretty much horrible and have decided, for the first time in my two plus years at Starbucks, to find someone to cover my closing shift tomorrow night. And of COURSE out of the thirty people I call nobody can. Or wants to. I'm still calling around, but seriously, SERIOUSLY, all the shit that I do and people that I help out, blah blah blah whatever. Fine, whatever, WHATEVER, fuckers, I will snot into your coffee and cough all over your pastries and you will enjoy it. YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

MISERY. :(

From the University of Central Florida:

Your application has undergone an initial review and is currently deferred for further evaluation with the Admissions Committee. A decision may be delayed as we assess the strength of this year's applicant pool.

Yeah. I'm gonna get declined acceptance again, aren't I.

If I don't get in this go around then... then I guess I'll go ahead and try for the summer semester, too. That way I can still get my credits done summer '09, fall '09, and spring '10 by June 2010, when our lease at the apartment ends. If I don't get into summer... well. Pretty much my only options are moving back home and commuting an hour both ways to USF again, which, wow, I think I'd rather chew my arm off than do that again, or completely moving somewhere else. Somewhere else being Salt Lake City, for a pretty damn specific reason. Oh Chrissy, my lovemuffin, you may have to go apartment shopping pretty soon because UCF is full of douchefuckers who won't just LET ME GRADUATE. AUUUGH.

Two more shifts and this stupid, horrible work week will be over. Those shifts, of course, include being at a mandatory meeting from 10:30 until midnight and then being back at the store at 4:45, but hey! Light at the end of the tunnel or some shit, right?

Sorry I'm just... feeling cynical and tired and really, the only way I can make it through the week now, it seems, is that I can make it to Thursday, and Show is making me so damn happy at the moment, and I can't find it within me to complain anything about it because it's Winchesters and pretty much anything they do is saving me like a freaking life raft, which is pretty sad, I guess, but there you have it.

BUT, I am making the most amazing dish EVER in a little bit, and I think my parents might be coming over this weekend and then we'll be going up to St. Augustine for a little sight-seeing, so yay! There is that.
