First and Ten
I just got done watching the New Orleans/New England game and that in itself brings joy to my life. For one, Tom Brady is hot. For two, football season is on it's way and it is my favorite time of the year. I can't wait until the cool breeze, the leaves change colors, my birthday (haha), long-sleeved shirts and hoodies. I just can't wait.

This has been a good week, much much better than last. I hated last week... there wasn't one good thing that happened I don't think. Maybe there was but I must have blocked it out because I hated every second of it so much.
Monday was the last day of my job. Man I hated it there so much, the only thing I liked about it was the drafting part. For some reason I like to draw maps and I like AutoCad (a computer mapping program that people spend years learning). I think I like it though because I know I am good at it, and the company I worked for was impressed at how fast I could get maps drawn, scaled, and plotted out. I always felt like I was an asset to the company when I had drafting to do. But most of the time I was answering the phone, faxing crap, or making copies or coffee. I hated making coffee... mostly because I don't think it is that hard to get off your ass and make your own. But I got stuck with that kind of work.
So yeah. Monday was my last day and my boss treated me to McAlisters (I don't know if I spelled that right) for lunch, and I love their tea so that was a good treat. Tuesday I looked for part time jobs with no luck and hung out for a little bit. It was good to have a day off during the week. I don't think I have taken off in at least a year, even in Phoenix and Philly I was busy doing something every day at the butt crack of dawn.
On wednesday I got up at 7:45 to get ready for my class at 9. I went to the school and noticed that no one was out, there was no one walking to class or driving around or anything. So I get out of my car as the clock is chiming 9 times (I have a habit of being late to class, even on the first day and during finals). I walk into the building to my class and there is still no one. So I look in the door and the lights are off and I think to myself "great, I am walking in during a power point thing". I peek into the window and there is absolutely no one in the freaking classroom. Then I am thinking to myself that I am in the wrong building. So I get out my schedule to make sure and walk over to the office that is at the bottom of the stairs. There is a note on the door saying that "Cassi" will be back later and the door is locked. Apparently Cassi is the one who runs the office. So I leave the building and I randomly start thinking about the Jimmy Eat World concert that was on the 17th, which also happened to be on a Wednesday. Then I remember that classes start the 18th. So basically I went to school a day early. How retarded am I!?Very. This is going to be an interesting semester if I can't even get the first day of school right. Geez. I laughed it off though, went home and slept for a little bit. Then my parents finally bought me my laptop which was supposed to be a Christmas present... yeah I got it a little late, but whatever.
So today I went to algebra and it was alright. I hate math with a burning passion, but I think I can pull this off. There was this poor kid in there though, man I felt bad for him but I laughed my ass off. So we took a test to see if we could test out of the class, I will find out this weekend if I did well enough on it. I didn't try too hard though, so I doubt it. But anyways, the test was like 60 questions and it took all hour long. Well at the end of the hour this guy walks up and starts asking the prof. about labs. She just stares at him and says that we don't have labs for this class. So he shows her his schedule and she is like, "umm this is Algebra... you are supposed to be in Biology." So he is all confused and she asked him why he stayed and took the test. He told her it was because he thought there was a lot of math in biology, so he just assumed she wanted to know how much we knew. Holy crap!!
There was a guy in there who was about 30 and he is laughing his ass off as well (I wasn't really laughing, I was too shocked) and he tells the kid that we are in room 255 and he is supposed to be next door in 256. It was so funny.
So now I am going to go play frisbee with my dog and then be lazy until I have to drive to Tulsa to get my check and go to the bank. I think I might be able to handle this whole school thing.
