I'm about to eat me some people

I am very angry right now. I have just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with the tech support of a website I need to be able to view for one of my history classes. For two weeks I have been exchanging e-mails with the tech support team with them not fixing my problem and them treating me like I have the intelligence level of a third grader. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am not stupid and that I do know how to spell my own login name and password. If the tech support would actually listen to what I said in the first place, I think this issue would have been resolved by now, but noooo they had to be all superior and tell what was happening wasn't possible. After spending 45 minutes on the phone, guess what IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!! The lady finally got it through her thick head that hey, this girl knows how to spell and is typing in her password correctly and we still can't get the system to work. So my problem apparently has been sent to the higher ups to see what is going on. I have never been so close to yelling at someone in my life, even at work when a costumer was being a real pain in the neck I never had to bit my lip in order to say things I would regret. But oh golly this lady tried my patience more than anything! After I hung up the phone I started yelling and burst into tears. All I want is to be able to read my documents and be prepared for the quizzes we have to take like every week over them!!! That's all! I'm not asking for the moon or to ride a camel. I just want to do my homework.

It's Like Living in a Snow Globe!

I awoke this morning at 6:30 for my 7:50 class. The first thing I did was run over to my window, look out to a great white swirling world, say "no freaking way", and promptly return to my nice warm bed. My class is allllllll the way across campus and you couldn't have paid me $50 to walk that far this morning , especially since that class was American Civilization with Burden (shoot me). Luckily for me my roomie's boyfriend called at around 7:15 to tell us that our college had officially canceled classes for today. :) For the next half hour my roomies, Cheksie and Emily, were so excited that they called everyone and their great-uncle Tom to tell them the wonderful news. All the while I am laying in my bed wishing for a pair of earplugs or a gun. Anyways I didn't get up until after 11 and it was glorious. I started reading the Odyssey, watched part of the Sound of Music, wrote a little poetry, and just lounged in general. However, today for the first time I was actually homesick (which is rather amusing as I was home for the weekend). I guess there is something about a snow day that makes you feel like you are back in high school. I just wanted to be lounging on my couch at home or hanging out with my home friends. I really am beginning to hate being here so far away from everyone. People here are boring. I'm annoyed because my only class for tomorrow is canceled as well and I could have been home an extra two days. Alas, I suppose that is how the cookie crumbles. I'm going to stop rambling and go do something productive...like play Mario Cart...

Tis the Season to be Dreary

Well St. Valentine's Day is almost upon us again...blah. This year I can't make up my mind whether I should wear black or red. If I wear black it will show the world I am single and depressed but if I wear red, I'll be saying I'm single and optimistic. Right now I can't decide which would be more fun. Since I'm thinking of fun I guess that means I'm feeling optimistic or at least that I'm not depressed. But since this wardrobe choice is becoming a very difficult decision that means that I am borderline depressed because if I were optimistic I would definitely choose red without knowing that I had a choice to chose black. I hope that made sense to you because I just read it over again and I have no clue what the heck I was talking about. I didn't used to mind this time of year so much. Of course I would give the normal "single woman gripes and groans" but this year I would really like to know what it is like to have a someone, a "Valentine" on Valentine's Day. Ladies if I get a dozen comments on this thing filled with "awww, don't feel bad sweetie your Prince will come soon"'s I might have to hurt someone. I don't want sympathy, I'm just sending out a random question into the void. On a side note: the candy hearts that say things like "Be Mine" and "Kiss Me" I hate those things. I can't believe people actually eat them they are disgusting! Oh and contrary to many commercials I've seen during this joyous season, diamond heart pendants and shinny red heart boxers just aren't cool Valentine's Day gifts. They scream tacky. And big stuffed pink teddy bears, please give me a break. I still fail to understand why it is considered to be a good idea to give a girl above the age of 11 a teddy bear. Guys, would you give your 24 year old girlfriend a teddy bear for her birthday? No, of course not! Then why is it acceptable to give her one on Valentine's Day? Flowers are a good idea. Chocolate...eh only if you have something to go with it like flowers. Diamond rings and bracelets...perfection but only if you flowers to go with them. In celebration of this joyous event I plan to make red potatoes (actually they will probably turn out pink but whatever close enough. At least I'm trying to be a merry romantic). Happy (almost) Valentine's Day one and all!
