Final grade for Child Psychology is a 93, yay. A in psych, A in physiology lab, B in Micro, B in Micro lab, B in Physiology lecture so far that I know of and I dunno what my grade is for information literacy is yet at worst itll be a B but its probably an A.

I feel like Im forgetting something important though and geez, my thumb is so sore today its hard to type. It was hurting me all night long and I chose to ignore it, now its probably got this nice hours old clot in thar.

edit: I got a B in physiology :3 the grade was out of 1000 points, the reason it says on blackboard 1140 is because it added in the 100 point curve and then 40 extra credit points from the exam. So Im pretty sure now I have a B lol.

My day was spent with Morgan at her elementary school. It was that bring-your-parents-to-lunch day, they were having christmas lunch which included public school turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes and everything you remember it being with sweetpotatoes+marshmallows (I never got this in elementary school wtf)

Mom had to work, Dad had a class he couldnt get out of so I agree'd to go because Morgan really really wanted me to and I couldnt say no 8( not that I minded, remember what it was like on those days when all you were the only one who's parents didnt show. It sucked.

She even called me this morning at 11 to make sure I was coming just to double check.

I was an eency bit worried I wouldnt be able to find her, it was mad crowded. So many lines of chitlins and parents!

but luckily I ran into her and we had lunch!

I TOOK PICTURES


seeeee doesnt it bring back great memories? except wtf remember when we changed over from cartons to those baggy milks? well Ms. Morgan gets bottles :(

( pixshurs of my day )

Random:
It was so windy today that the electricity kept going out and part of our siding on our house blew off. Theres also this creepy dead tree swaying back and forth making scary noises.

The roads near morgans school were blocked off because they were completely flooded.

and some local house literally exploded last night throwing the owners a hundred yards [that way] while they were sleeping. Their son who lived in the basement apparently died as he got exploded and smooshed. I was told it was a gas leak or something, which is really really scary.

oh and when we left to go to the mall, Ethan was out letting Daisy out and I guess he didnt double check to make sure the door was shut, but an hour later Rachel sent me a text saying the front door was wide open. Oh that kinda pisses me off :|

I had my micro final today.

The phone was ringing earlier in the afternoon and I ran upstairs to go grab it and just about ran into my dad. He asked me when I was leaving and I told him at 3, it was like 1:30 and he asked me if Id help him with something christmas related at Sams after he has his cup of coffee and makes a phone call...Im notorious even in FF11 for having panic attacks over whether Ill be late for something but he insisted we'd be back in time.

Somehow we managed to get to sams, locate said christmas related items, check out, stop at pep boys and get home and I still had 30mins til 3.

I dont know how we did it 8|

But I did not take my micro final anyway. Why you may ask? its that school luck thing I tell you about. My teacher said if you were happy with your grade you can leave. He was only going to take your best 3 test grades and average them together and if you had an A, he only gives out letter grades not %s, you have no reason to take the test. If you wanted to improve your grade you could retake the test and you didnt even have to take the whole test, just 10 out of 12 questions.

Well I had a B in the class like an 85 or 86%, I missed a large lecture of him going over most of the chapters due to me having to go to CPR class and I felt like I was missing alot of important information. I tried it, I stared and looked up the questions for a good 10-15 mins before deciding I wasnt going to be getting any 95+s to get an A in the class.

so nyah. I can do B's.

I turned in my information lit. class final a few mins ago too.

All I have left to worry about is physiology still! yaaaay. I was told he added in the 100 point curve but if he has he hasnt added it to mine yet :/

---edit


Have to show this. My mom and dad took this picture when they were shopping last night at Toysrus.

If you cant see whats wrong, look at the necklines on each Barbie doll lol


Also while they were out shopping last night they started bombarding me with "WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE STARTREK CHARACTER, MOM SAYS KIRK BUT I TRIED TELLING HER ITS SPOCK" over text messaging. Come Christmas, watch me have a life size Zac Quinto spock cardboard cutout in my room. Yes I am suspicious of them.

Mother dearest and Dad were getting ready to go christmas shopping last night and somehow taking pictures of the tree came up and I said I couldnt take any cause mom kept adding things to the tree and there was no topper, so mom literally crawled up in the attic, got a topper, put it on the tree in like under 5mins lol

Not that it really matters in hindsight, our tree room is very tiny and it was hard to get the entire tree in one shot anyway.

I also couldnt get good lighting. Im a horrible photographer, Im really sorry that I cant do our tree justice, it looks alot better in real life.



( Tree )

our tree has multicolored butterflys and birds, red/green/silver/gold ribbons, some candy canes, red/gold/white/silver ornaments and a couple ornaments morgan wanted to stick up there.

Our Christmas tree is pretty. Its covered in butterflies, which kind of sounds nonchristmassy but as my mom said "its christmassy when its shiny" I asked my dad what he thought of our probably super feminine tree and he goes "its cute isnt it!? :3"

Id take a picture but we keep adding stuff to it and its missing a tree topper still and I dont want to take 42342 pictures of the same tree lol


--ff11--

oh Castle Zvahl. Its a place we dont go to very often. It used to be scary as all get out back in the newb days, when I do go there I dont go much further than the entrance for darkspark onry I dont even have a map. But its a really cool place especially Zvahl Baileys which has super creepy music
( more screenshots from Moogle expansion )

Anybody want to try making a french silk pie with me? Id never heard of it so I was sent this here recipe and it doesnt include cooking which Im notoriously known for...but they forget my laziness too. It actually just reminds me of one of them dirt cakes/pies :3 which thats sounds what it is essentially.

So I cant get on FF and I watched the new Icarly movie and all my other recorded shows and have nothing to do but my take at-home final which Im too lazy to take, so what should I do with this free time?


Make 14 icons of Colonel Young 8|

I've never even made icons before..sorda...well I found screencaps and this table generator and Ive only ever seen icons of everybody but Young. So I did it and Ill never use them but TA-DA

( Read more... )

Well after all the insistence "its supposed to snow!" and all my "lolsnow, it wont snow"


well it snowed


and I missed it.

I heard the thunderous flumping around upstairs early this morning but chose to ignore it and sleep in because its the weekend and I dont need to get up and let the dog out when others wake up before me! /logical thinking

I slept in an eency bit too late though. When I finally went upstairs after I was done with my morning ritual of email/website checks I walked upstairs for some caffeine and pointed at the window screaming in shock "WHAT THE EFF IS THAT"

snow 8(

they said they sent me text messages but alas, my phone is on silent on the kitchen table loool.

Last night we decorated our tree some more. We still suck at it 8( we put ribbons on it. Tied em in little bows and curled em. I think its pretty but our tree still looks plain! Dad said he was gonna go out and pick up something else to stick on the tree. One day we'll perfectify this tree decorating thing.

and then I went and checked my school email and I found where all my luck in school went to. My child psychology teacher sent out an email saying that our final exam has been canceled (not that I think you can cancel an exam we're just getting a grade in something else or automatically getting a grade one) because we showed tremendous knowledge of the book material in our out of class assignments and he doesnt think its necessary :3 he also decided to leave out one of our other assignments and is offering extra credit by either taking the 4th exam or doing another out of class observation. That is so pimp. Im so thankful right now.

I need all that time I was gonna use panicking over that exam to panic over my physiology exam instead!

otherwise I've been reading the blog by one of the stargate producers or writers of whatever he is.../gasp he met Iron Chef Sakai >:O remind me to work for stargate one day.

PS I feel really backwards when Im the one discussing Stargate and the rest of my lj watchers arent...it used to be the opposite a year ago.

Who called it? meeeee

That episode was wonderful. I enjoyed the whole thing but I hate cliffhangers knowing this was the "midseason finale" jeez, who invented midseason finales?

( possible spoilers, not sure what Im going to type yet )

Spent all day Christmas shopping with the daddy. He needed me to go along so he didnt feel like a perv 8( its kinda sucky like that when 5/7ths of your family is female..even the dog is female....

we bought some stuff. I got another christmas present thatIdontknowabout /mustforget! I talked with the lady who worked at the disney store who was as uber excited about the new lion king plushies as I was (yes! there are new plushies!) she was all "have you ever been to disney world!? go see it on broadway!" and I was like "/emo"

so now Im really tired and in need of a nap.

and I signed up for a Nutrition class for next semester, its online and 3 credits. I hope it aint hard. I guess Ill also try and sign up for the stupid online lincoln class too. That'd bring me to 14 credit hours and 4 classes (not counting labs as separate classes) Im just slightly a bit concerned over how time consuming my nursing class will be. I dont know why, Im quite used to taking 4+ classes 8|

Last night in FF11:

we for the first time tried something new in dynamis...freelotting currency /gasp. We've never done this before, I think leaders trying to offer more dynamis incentives which works for me! It was actually a crazy run. We were trying to get the valkurm win for a new-ish guy so he can do tavnazia...it always kinda embarrasses me when we have new people like this 1. The end of the year is always bad with no shows and it makes me wonder what the new guy is thinking 2. we often make really dumb mistakes when we're trying to clear a zone for somebody or if its a brand new person.

We've done valkurm oodles of times...however we were lucky to have a full alliance and our puller wasnt there lol.

I was getting worried at first. We were standing at the OP for 13 minutes doing nothing (valkurm is timed) and I thought for sure we'd time out and then for whatever reason nobody was sure where to go. Its that mob mentality, if nobody moves then nobody else is going to move. We should have been killing the goobbue NM but somebody started dragging us over to fairy ring..and it was kind of a mess.

But magically we managed to kill Goobbue, get some AF, we skipped Fairy ring and we killed the boss with time to spare and we didnt wipe....why do we normally do fairy ring again? wtf I have no idea lol. But wow was that ever the save.

Im surprised we had that dynamis.

I won some currency, I wanted to sell my byne bill and keep my 2 o. bronzepieces to upgrade an AF. Last night I set myself up in Jueno to bazaar..and I guess I accidently bazaar'd my bronzepieces and kept my byne bill. FFFFFFFFFFF and I didnt even sell for full price on those >< What a waste!

And I've been having absolutely horrid R0ing issues. Sometimes it seems like every step I take I r0 or DC. For the past while Ive been unable to keep my character logged in for bazaaring purposes..well I was really surprised when I woke up this morning and my character was still up in jueno bazaaring loool I never DC'd. In fact I left it up all day too. Amazing. I guess it must not be me but the zones Im in maybe?


I finally also figured out how to get that Moogle Expansion. Could POL be more confusing? I meant to buy this for my birthday but couldnt figure it out then lol. Its mildly amusing. My ls is doing a boss run sometime this week, I dont think Ill make it but it was worth a shot.

Gangster Moogle uses my siblings favorite word "edjumacated"

One of the biggest questions to ever be asked on a daily basis: "Am I supposed to put sugar on this cereal?"

--

We put our christmas tree up yesterday. Or well, somebody ran out and bought a tree and they put it up, but I halped put on our ornaments. It still looks kinda bare though, needs more..something....professional designers! yep!

ff11: Taaadaaaaaa (not the person >.<)

1/2 on rampawhosits I dont know how to spell his name.


Sir Lorn of keit randomly offered to TH whore for me but we both had to afk after 2+ hours for such things as nourishments and christmas decorations!

When I came back to check on my character, I killed some froggies and it popped but Lorn didnt come back! so I had to kill it without him, and Garudas TH kicked in once more :3

and then I left Lorn there all alone as I ran away >3
( camping boredom does this to you )

I have my microbiology lab final today! I wrote a rough draft but if I was capable of panicking over tests I would be!

My computer, it is acting all slow! I did a virus scan and it said it deleted something that sounded mean and nasty...Im totally useless at this stuff 8( I only go to a handful of websites so if my computers infected Im annoyed.

Im also starting to have connection issues again. I can barely play FF11 without R0ing every couple of seconds. It started out where several months ago I stopped being able to leave my character on afk all night long and Id just lose connection..now Im r0ing every step. 8| its highly annoying..and deadly.


Oh Shantotto how I love thee!


.......I havent actually posted any spoilers cause I havent finished this yet..lol..Im stuck on the first clone bcnm thing. Its kinda late, hard to find help and my play time is silly.

I dont have much to post either because this is the first time in a long time that Ive managed to play this much. Yay holidays!

( some NM camping results )

For desert we got homemade cherry cream pie..I show you what it looks like with and without cherrys. It is the best pie in the world.

( le menu )

I ran out of room to eat all I wanted. I didnt even get any salad.

I wont be eating pies til..maybe tomorrow lol

Happy turkey day Americans and late turkey day canadians.


I'll try and post food pics later

We do thanksgiving the same way every year and when its changed up then we all feel kind of....grumpy.


My dad makes the pies and sourcream cake on thanksgiving eve (he's doing that as I type!) and then he starts cooking early thanksgiving morning. He actually does most of the cooking. My mother helps some too but we just all let my dad do it. He also gets the tv and watches football whilst cooking.

the rest of us roll around on the floor like lard and ask "is it doooone yeeeeet?"

We just like being with us after years of it only being us. The parents and ye olde siblings and dog. Although Uncle John is supposed to be coming over too! We're antisocial but we dont mind sharing^^

and then afterwards we complain about being too full to move and complain about not wanting to put the christmas decorations up and then we all fall asleep^^

Im not sure what exactly our menu will be. We're not having a turkey this year, sometimes we do, sometimes we dont. I only like the darkmeat in poultry and I dont really like ham..but we're having ham!

we're going to have some sort of sweet potatoes..either with marshmallows or we were discussing having a (is it almonds or pecans that goes on top?) nut topping.

usually have rolls and deviled eggs and that can of cranberry sauce we always forget to open and stuffing!

--

My dad showed me this! LOOOOL

"MAAMA!? mama? yooo-hooo?..........dada?"

Daisy fell down this morning. I had my fan on so I dont know when she went down but I heard her panic attack hopefully not long after.

She managed to get herself wedged under my daddies big chair. The wood floor is too slippery and her toenails too long to get a good grip on the floor to pull herself up. When laying down a while she also has issues regaining the use of her back feet.

She was like definitely in a panic attack..heavy panting lots of crying, it sounds like somebodies killing her. I had to go pick her up and then she wanted outside and got so excited she fell over a couple more times 8(


I got micro today and am off the rest of the week, orientation on the 2nd, a doctors appointment, daisy needs a doctors appointment too, I still have a horrible grade in physiology and now I kinda feel like I treated somebody badly and feel like a jerk....but I got a big container of cheese balls which is here to munch on to comfort me.

thanks whoever put gas in the car, I appreciate it.

Ok so for christmas I want....so far?

-itunes gift card
-universal giftcard for clothes
-glee soundtrack muahaha think gonna have to get my mom this too
-Camis, I wear a medium in like Aeropostale and forever21
-Scarf, this year lets not go uber poofy or rainbow-y..simple stripes or plaid or solid knit and fleece is fine.
-Some pooka shell necklaces are cool too.
-If we want to get me a TV then Id be super cool with that. It doesnt have to be huge or even all that fancy. Id just like to be able to read the guide on satellite.
-Is it weird to ask for a new computer chair? I know that serta chair was missing. Mine srsly squeeks right now.
-my own startrek movie dvd/bluray/whatever >3
-if all else fails Id love more pastels. I love mine so much already but I find myself wanting more greys and browns! of harder and softer pastels.

oh and I want to see the Princess and the Frog. I kinda want to see that Christmas Carol movie with Jim Carey but Im not usually the Jim Carey fan and it kinda looks like another Polar Express and I wouldnt have paid to see that in theaters.

Heather and mum were talking about getting frilly butt panties for christmas 8( I find that suggestion disturbing. Undies would be great, I just am unsure if that'd be appropriate. Lol.

I <3'd this episode of SGU

I love my mini 24 cast reunion..all 2 of them lol.

I love seeing more into ship life, how they're being made to exercise and the exploration of the ship.

and I love the character angsting.

Especially love Young vs Telford.

Young is still my favorite character thus far.

I think my brothers with the crowd wanting more action...I love the nerd scifi drama.

1 more episode til midseason break and I will be sad 8(

I dont know why Im typing double spaced like.

and I watched that last episode of the Mentalist which was a good episode. Jane is very Spike Spiegel.

I love Glee for singing this song.

ff11



Thats right [bio]tch die. I didnt die to flare this time round >3 I learned better. Though I was awfully close to killing it unclaimed to DoT. Bio wore off at 2% and it was casting flare on me lol. But I got it I got it....the NM, not the boots. Ofcourse Im going to have terrible luck on drop rates.

--

I love this season of survivor. I dont think its the best ever but the past couple episodes have given me lots of laughs. Ive read some boards and people hate the idol hide-and-seek but I think its hilarious. Its cause Russel always looks so smug, he reminds me of that bulldog from tom and jerry. And also that guy on the jury of which I dont remember at all the reason why they voted him out but his reactions to everything cracks me up. And I love the reaction on that other dudes face, he always looks stunned at FoaFoas perseverance all he can say is "wooooow"

its so silly.

---

and SGU loooooooool....call Tony from 24! his wife is now on SG and is a lesbian. Wonder if that'll convince my dad to watch an episode. I <3 Ming Na and Reiko Aylesworth. Im so looking forward to tomorrow.

and anybody see that R2D2 in star trek picture?

---

Check the email! then the yahoo frontpage, then DA messages, then LJ, then FFXIAH.com and then gaiaonline and then my schools email and a few other optional places too like facebook and comingsoon.net

edit: what a coincidence that this was brought to us by yahoo and I said I check the yahoo frontpage...I didnt do that on purpose..I really do check the yahoo frontpage. I like the ----time in no time segments and I read the news.

ADVENTURE!

Heres my major adventure, since class got canceled yesterday I was determined to kill one of my jobs, preferably smn but that didnt work. I wanted to camp the smn belt or fenrir crown NM but both were being camped by others it looked like, I didnt want to bother running down there if they were so I ran to grauberg on smn/nin to look for the chigoe NM but I ran out of sneak/invis and couldnt find it anyway. I never got the sneak scroll for nin 8( so I was using oils/powders..oh well.

went back later after a break and found sarcwojoja on rdm/nin and had a world of fun. I didnt know how to do it on rdm but Im kinda glad I did >.> my smn doesnt have any movement speed (I dont think you really need it but I feel safer)and I dont have a free fenrir which I read was nice to have. Pulling was a little tricky because it was surrounded by those walking trees and 2 other non nm chigoes. I killed the chigoes, avoiding trees, and then pulled the NM.

and I ran with her all the way to the campaign fort. I have fast pants and alot of refresh which I think really helped. It stops to cast stuff often though and Id let utsusemi absorb that..except Firaga3 which I ran the frick away! It hurt alot. Flare should be utsusemi absorbed also, if you get too far away..even at 17' away it would deaggro so Id have to go find it before it hopped back to wear it came from. This scared me at first because I wasnt sure where it went but I saw it hopping around and grabbed it. When campaign started I moved near the grauberg warp in spot to avoid people incase they decide to steal my NM when I lost hate on flare >( If you deaggro it you better reapply your utsu because when you reaggro she's gonna smack you around.

So I bio2-3+poison2+kited her to "death" I nuked too much at the beginning because I wanted to see how much my nukes would do and I get trigger happy when Im relying on myself. I have "boss fight" anxiety. So I spent the rest of the fight trying to get some mp back.

I got her down to 6% and she started casting flare so I was thinking to myself "perhaps I should nuke it" and I guess I forgot utsusemi or something and I died 8(


1035 flare with stoneskin, phalanx and dalmatica..not bad

My brother was watching my tv behind me when I screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" lol I didnt have any rr^^

Wasnt that long of a fight though and only took me like 40 shihei. I want to try again but watch me aggro a bunch of trees and chigoes on the way back to the fort.

Look, I finished my bibliography thats due midnight tonight and I now have 4 hours of free time and FF wont let me on 8( figures

I really dont feel like going to class today. I dont have a clue how I used to do this school thing 8 hours a day for 5 days straight. 2 days straight has me winded and tomorrow itll be 4 days straight and Ill die.

My class today is only an hour, so I should go..but I keep looking at the gas gauge like "maaaaaaan, I dont want to get more gas T_T"

Been asking around for christmas ideas. My dad has been literally nudging us for christmas lists and Im still not recovered from my birthday. I dont have a clue what I want and I think I own everything.

My dad mentioned a TV for my birthday..I think he was joking but now that Im thinking about it, it would be kinda nice to have a better tv. Mine is ancient, I think its as old as me but it still works! the guide on the satellite is just blurry and I have no tv stand either. I told my parents I should just start stocking up on furniture now, while I can still get them for free from christmas so I can move out with it all lol. So I might want a small, nice modern tv.

My serta chair I always sit in at sams was missing when I went to visit it yesterday. Is it weird to ask for a computer chair?

I really dont know what I want. Not many video games coming out...think you can preorder FF13 and maybe that new kh game but I think all my other siblings are asking for those too.

I can get an itunes card as a stocking stuffer, I dont have any music on my itouch. Is it sad that it took me a while to figure out how to even get to the music section on my itouch?

and a giftcard so I can go splurge at like..forever21.

So what is everybody else asking for? any cool games, CDs, dvds, box sets, books? 8( halp
