Well, I haven't had all that much free time lately to write anything. I am still in Statistics II, and I am still in Algebra I.
Thankfully, Statistics will be over on May 4th, and that will close another chapter of my schooling at UoP. Apparently, Statistics I&II are the hardest courses on the curriculum, so everything will become more familiar as I go along. Believe me, I can do with a reprieve from those alien numbers and calculations!
This next week should be extremely busy...well, who am I kidding -- the entire month of May will be really busy. I already listed my schedule, so doing that again would be redundant -- I shall avoid it. But, next weekend will be insane! On Friday my boyfriend and I are going to see Cake in concert. Saturday I am probably having lunch with the boyfriend and our friend to celebrate the friend's birthday...that evening I am going to dinner & a play with my boyfriend...and Sunday we are celebrating the boyfriend's sister's birthday.
And while I am talking about May and being busy, let me also add I'm going to be broke.
I have:
May 1 - friend bday
May 6 - bf sister's bday
May 8 - Mother's Day (for my mom and sister-in-law)
May 12 - brother bday
May 17 - dad bday
May 20 - bf brother's bday
So, I am hereby banning conception during a few months of the year for all friends and family. No babies can be conceived in February, March, or August. This will prevent birthdays in November, December, and May. November is my other bad month, and December just sucks because no kid wants their birthday and Christmas presents lumped.
Well, I suppose it is time to stop rambling; I should get some rest.

Fridayitis
Why is it that every Friday I develop a severe case of Fridayitis that can only be cured when the clock shows 4:30?
It's horrid -- the day passes slowly no matter how much I have to do, and it's just miserable. I would rather be sleeping or playing a game or even, heaven forbid, doing homework (at home). Today, it's sleep. I wish I was home in my nice warm bed with the fluffy pillows...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I hate school! La la la la la!
That's pretty much it. I'll be glad when I'm finally finished...I won't regret having done it, but I regret not having time for other things I want to do.
This is kind of my Friday, and I don't have Algebra tonight -- so as soon as my paper gets turned in, I am taking the evening off to do something fun like go out to dinner or watch a movie or play a game! It'll be nice. I'll hate myself tomorrow because I'll be behind again, but I need a day off.

Stuff
Sorry I've not posted in a while -- between life and school, things have been pretty hectic.
First, my boyfriend's mom passed away. We knew it was coming, so it was not sudden in the way that someone getting hit by a bus would be...but, I think it was still sooner than we had anticipated. We're all glad she's not in pain anymore, but we all miss her and it sucks that's she's gone. It's really weird, too. We did all get to say our goodbyes to her; one night, 2 days before she actually passed, she called us all in to say the final goodbyes. After that, she never really checked back in, which was just as well because it probably took all she had to do what she did. Long live The Mama, may she rest in peace.
Along with that, I am also in school taking Research & Statistics 2...and Algebra I (still). I will be SO glad when Algebra is over and I can take the summer off from my land class(es)...it's quite draining to have to be in school mode 24/7.
And, along with those, I of course am still working. Nothing different there at the moment, since everyone is back from vacation and things are getting back to normal, but I spend practically every spare moment working on school. Lunch every day consists of either sitting at the computer, reading, or doing some assignment. It's like I never get a break. *sigh* But, I work there so I can sort of half-way relax at home.
And, along with all of that, the boyfriend and I, and his sisters, are in the process of a). finding places to move and b). figuring out what to do with all the junk that's in this house. So far we've chatted about cleaning, moving everything out of the garage for the sorting process, then loading garbage/throwaways back into the garage for disposal by a company called 1800gotjunk. (www.1800gotjunk.com) It sounds like it will be a good thing; not only would we be saved the trouble of renting a dumpster, but we also would not have to load it. They say they can recycle as much as 70% of what they pick up, AND they clean when they get done loading the junk in their truck :D The other thing to do is decide what exactly to do with the junk could be some other person's treasure :) I found a company (We Auction Your Stuff) that will auction things on eBay and then send a check to us after the items sold, but the items need to be worth more than $20 and I am unsure of what we might actually be able to drop off to them. We may end up listing a lot of things on our own, and then having a garage sale/donating the rest. Oh, and this all needs to be done before the end of May :)
My boyfriend and I did find an apartment in a complex that we really like, and they take our dog and two cats :) We paid the deposit and reserved an apartment, and now we're just waiting to get confirmation on a move-in date. I don't think we'll hear anything until the beginning of May, but it's tentatively set for mid-May.
So, May is as follows:
May 14th -
9am-3pm Move the boyfriend & me to our apt
3pm-5pm Wait for the cable people to show up
6-? Finish moving junk, hopefully move the definite "keep" stuff to storage
May 15-May 26
Clean like mad! Sort like crazy!
May 27
Clean-up day, gotjunk is coming/getting a dumpster this day (whichever we decide)
May 28
Move day! Get all the other junk to storage!
Of course, all dates are pending because the landlord's wife is wanting to talk to us before Friday and we're kind of unsure of what this is about. They want to show the house? They want us out sooner? If they want to show the house, they're stupid -- they have to replace the carpets when we move...it needed it when the family moved in here, and now 6 years and a billion animals later it's 200x worse than it started out. Nonetheless, if they want to show it we have some major cleaning to do and not a lot of time to do it in.
So, I won't be posting much between homework, studying, work, cleaning, packing, and keeping myself from going insane :)
There's the update, it was a long one. :)
