today, i ran into a curb at the train station and left a big scratch on the right side of my front bumper. if my parents ask about it, i'll just say i had trouble getting onto my driveway. you know what was stupid though? after i ran into the curb, i went to go park my car in a spot so i could go out and take a look at the damage and the whole time i was driving down the parking lot looking for a spot, i kept hearing this loud sqeaking noise coming from my car which just completely freaked me out because i thought i had REALLY messed up my car but when i went to go park in the spot, i realized that i had been driving from the curb with my parking brake still up. duuurrr, cherry. [wow, that was a really long sentence. oh well.]

i also aaaalmost got into an accident on my way to campus earlier this afternoon, but in all fairness, it would have been the other guy's fault. it was totally my right of way. too difficult to explain exactly what happened on my blog; i need to use hand gestures. but sufficed to say, i was inches away from an accident. and you know, i was actually more annoyed than frightened by it. i should've honked my horn, but it was pretty darn close, so i didn't.

yeah...today was not a good driving day for me.

anyway, melissa and i rented "down with love" tonight. melissa, of course, fell asleep on my bed halfway through the movie. i threw my wrist band at her and totally scared her. it was great. the movie was just silly and stupid. but in a good, funny way. ewan mcgregor's so....yum. i can't think of the right word. he's not cute, not handsome, and not hot. but he's just....YUUUM. although you could hear his scottish accent sort of seeping through. especially when he said the word "thirty." it came out as "thairty." mmm...god, i love that ewan.

okay, i'm tired now. need to rest up for miss chi's visit tomorrow. ;D woohoo!

ohmygod. i am addicted to yahoo's pop & drop. i think i've been playing it for about two hours now.

uuuugh...i need a life.

this day SUCKED. and then it ceased sucking for about an hour or so. and then it returned to sucking.

my life is horribly boring. nothing too exciting going on. i did just startle melissa which was pretty funny. but she's easily startled so it's always guaranteed fun.

anyway, i dropped my critical gender studies class. i was taking it as a ge but i looked at my degree audit last week (after it finally got fixed. when the degree audit program first started, they got my transcript completely wrong. they said that i had taken classes like upper div chem and ballet. apparently i did not do so well in either subject. anyway, i digress...) and it said that my social studies requirement had already been fulfilled with my ap psych credit and my psych 60 credit. so i went to academic advising juuust to make sure and they said yes, my degree audit was in fact correct. so....i decided to drop my critical gender studies class. it was just too much work. waaay too much reading. what sucks is that i've already bought all my books for that class and can't return them. especially the damn course reader. grr. oh well. if i ever need anything to read myself to sleep with, i can use that. it's too bad though because i actually found the class to be pretty interesting. but oh well. i'm a lazy person. "pretty interesting" isn't enough to motivate me to keep the class.

anyway. this now means that i only have two classes and the research project i've joined. and one of my classes meets only once a week. so it's an extremely light schedule for me this quarter. yeees...

so want to hear a funny story? well...funny or scary, depending on your point of view. melissa found it very amusing, as did i. so the both of us went out for baskin robbins and came back about half an hour ago. i parked my car in the garage, turned off my headlights, took off my seatbelt, and prepared to get out of the car when i suddenly realized that i had almost forgotten the most important part - to turn the car off. what's even funnier (or scarier) is that i said this out loud and accidentally referred to my car as "the tv." "i almost forgot to turn the tv off!!"

oh, something else i found amusing today. this morning, i went to the police station to get fingerprinted for the research project (since we work so closely with preschoolers, the preschools require us to get fingerprinted and tb tested). there was this elderly volunteer couple who were taking care of the walk-in fingerprinting. i got such a kick out of their last name though - kneebone. their last name was kneebone. mr. and mrs. kneebone. frank and laura kneebone. KNEEBONE!! their last name is KNEEBONE!! yeah, i giggled about that one for quite a bit.

see? i told you my life was boring.

the irony is... the only thing that would make me feel better is to go out shopping.

i hate money. it really stresses me out. i hate paying tuition. i hate looking at my billing statement online. it confuses me and freaks me out and makes me want to convulse into a fit of hysterics. i hate sallie mae for forgetting to send us our loan renewal form and causing my whole quarter to be thrown into financial chaos. that sallie mae is a bitch.

goddamn greedy uc regents. bastards. if i knew who they were, i'd hunt them down and kill them by burning them in a pile of their money.
