hello

just wanted to put a little update up.... it's been over a month since i posted! i can't believe tomorrow is already may! today was my last day of classes and i had 1 final. ahhhhhh. it was part one of computer and it was LONG. i was just doing some school work and i couldn't keep my eyes open so i decided to take a little break lol. i have my math and reading final on tues then my part 2 of comp on thurs. sometimes i feel like there is just not enough time! i still have soooooooooo much to do before tuesday. i have a bunch of stuff to do for my online class and then i have a whole review to do for math. which i want to get done in between working this weekend so if i need help i can go up there on monday. i'm thinking about getting up early tomorrow so i can work on it.. then i have some time sat before work. soooo hopefully i will get it all done before monday.

sometime next week i need to go talk to the counselor and see what classes i'm gonna take in the summer so i can hurry up and register. i'm pretty sure i want to take english. and idk what else. after the final our reading teacher is gonna tell us if she thinks we should take 0312 or not. it's optional but i may go ahead and take it cuz it's TBA (no lecture class just at your own pace and time) and it should be easy so i might take it just to raise my gpa. but i'm not sure yet...??

so that's it for now i guess.... i'll be VERY glad when next week is over!
peace. JLC.

finally got to use my camera

ok so i finally had a reason to use my camera! i think it works pretty good... it has good zoom too. i got a few other clips of nina playing but they take FOREVER to upload on here.. so i just chose the longest one lol

just sayin' hi

just wanted to make a little post so yall know i'm still alive.. lol jk. i don't really have anything to write about.. i've just been up to the same old same old. school, homework, work, school, homework, work. lol. i don't know what i would do if i worked full time... i would be so overwhelmed. and sometimes i feel overwhelmed working part time! school is going good.. .the classes are def alot more challenging than last semester. reading isn't bad but math and comp are the hardest. i thought comp would be a blow off class because it's just about different software (powerpoint, word, excel, vista... etc) but it's hard and frustrating but everyone in the class feels that way! lol. and music is easy i just have to set aside time to actually do it because it's online you know. i can't believe how fast this year is going.. i think i have already been in this semester for like 6 wks.. it's crazy. it ends in the beginning of may. if everything goes as planned (and i still want to talk to the counselor) i'm thinking i will take the last dev math 312 and eng 1301 (it's a nursing pre req) so i figured i would take those in the summer. they have two summer sessions and they are 6 wks each i think. so i'm gonna do the first one it's from the beginning of june till the middle of july. you have class mon-thurs but it's worth it to me b/c you get a whole semester done in 6 wks as compared to 16 wks i think.

work is going good... i will be there 9 months on 3-12. crazy huh? just a few more months and i will get PTO. wootwoot! lol. i def like being one of the ones that has been there along time.. it's alot less stressful and i'm super fast on the register lol. there is only one person left from when i first started! she is a sweet girl though. people come and go there it's so crazy. i like most of the people i work with though of course there is always the annoying few lol. our business is so unpredictable right now.. one weekend it will be crazy busy and one weekend it will be like a ghost town. i like it better when it's a ghost town. LOL. i guess with the economy you just never know... we are getting a new store manager on monday so that should be interesting lol... every manager is diff you know.

anywayyy i can't think of anything else to ramble on about. lol.
oh ya I CANT WAIT FOR SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did i mention i'm excited about spring break??? lol.
it's gonna be awesome.

oh and just another note... that 21 lbs up there is from last year. LOL. i haven't lost anything for a while. i've been really lazy and eating whatever i want for the past few months. i'm just happy i haven't gained anything back lol. i never get fast food or go out to eat and i rarely drink soda so i think that helps. i'm not really sure how much more i want to lose... normal weight for my height is 110-130. that's a big range! so i'm just aiming for 130 i guess.. if i ever get disciplined enough to start dieting again lol. i thought the ticker would motivate me..but ya not so much lol. i don't want to be like stick thin i would just like to loose more in my stomach and thighs. anyway... i'm gonna get off here and take a shower and watch TMZ. peace out.

ok so... i splurged

i have been wanting a camcorder for a long time... and never could imagine paying like 300-500$ for a nice one. well for the past couple of days i have been looking on the amazon and best buy websites comparing different ones... i didn't want to spend over $200. and alot of the ones in my price range had bad reviews. i had narrowed it down and i was thinking about getting one of those Flip camcorders. they are really small and a good price but they didn't store alot and it didn't have the swivel screen. so i planned on going to best buy today to get it.. and just settle because i thought it was the best i could get in my price range. so today after lab i went.... and looked at the Flip camera... and it just seemed like really cheaply made and had a small screen on the back. then i saw this one... it's a no name brand (insignia.. well i have never heard of it) but they had it for 150... i started playing with it and really liked the large screen (3 inch). and it's a camcorder and a 5 megapixel camera. so i asked the lady some questions about it (i like best buy better than walmart or target because you don't have to hunt someone down to help you) and she said that her and a couple of other girls who worked there have the same thing and they loved it. and she said i should get at least a 4 g memory card so i don't constantly have to download onto the computer. so i got a hd one.. it was only 10 bucks more than the regular. the camera came with a rechargeable battery and you can just charge it like a cell phone or with a USB. so far it seems to be working great... i haven't tried to upload anything to the computer yet though.. i wanted to take it to ninas game today but it couldn't charge up in time. so i went out on a whim and bought this camera.. but i don't really care because i never buy anything besides clothes and gas lol. hey i gave the economy a little boost LOL. well i guess i'll stop rambling now... house is coming on in a few. peace out
