Aww poop. I hate it when the blogs I like to read are put on "by invite only."
Anyway today is -for real- my first day of work. I'm kinda nervous but at the same time kinda whatever. I have to ask to leave early on Friday because of my ochem exam (which, by the way, I am completely unprepared for). I always feel bad about asking for time off because I'm so used to getting shit for it. If I do, though, at least I know right away that this job isn't going to work out.
Things with the boyfriend are back to normal so I'm pretty happy about that.
My insurance SUCKS and I keep getting bills for labwork and random crap that happened in December. The thing is, though, I called about one of them and the lady was like, "Oh yeah, you weren't supposed to be billed for that." Glad I didn't just pay it... sheesh.
Happy Hump Day Ya'll.

an open book
I am aware that this is a public blog and anyone can read it, stumble up on it, etc. If you google "jacobithegreat" my old xanga, youtube, deviantart, blogger, etc shows up. Even the comments I've made on other people's blogs show up. Nothing is hidden.
The thing is, though, I don't care if people know what I think, what I write, yadda yadda. I mean, if you go looking for it, you gotta be prepared for what's coming up. I got so sick of censoring myself because I knew that certain people would be reading up on me. Now, I haven't come right out and told anyone (except a few special ppl) about my new "venting spot," but it's not THAT hard to find it if you go looking.
I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or offend anyone near and dear to me, but I'm going to write what I want to write and I don't give a shit if you don't like it, or even if you judge me based on a few words typed on a computer screen. Enough censoring. The truth is sometimes hard to know and I think that there should be more of it.
And you know, most of the shit I write is just that: Shit. Venting. Putting my thoughts and worries outside of my head. Not everything has a hidden meaning, just like not every song I put on my myspace page has lyrics explaining how I feel. What if I just happen to like the song??
But, in the interest of preserving others' anonymity, I will no longer use names. Maybe I'll come up with code names, OOh!
All right, enough of that.
P.S. I totally got an A on that biochem exam. Peeooww!

kitty prozac
Just call me productive.
Got all the crap taken care of except for the car. My paper's done except for a conclusion and proofreading. I forget how rediculously easy psychology is. It's all the same thing, just re-packaged and applied according to the class. And I managed to do it all with a horrible headache. I probably OD'd on meds trying to get it to go away and now I feel a little wierd, haha.
Got some different antibiotics for the kitty, and they told me about this medicine. Sometimes cats think they have a bladder infection when they don't and they pee all over. This medicine makes them think they don't and supresses the urge to pee. So all I gotta do is break open a capsule and put it in her food every day. Supposedly it tastes like chicken. Right now she's curled up asleep with a kitty smile on her face. So hopefully there will be a lot less writing about kitty.
Oh, and it's an absolutely gorgeous day. I can hear the kids playing in the park.

bitching
Yeah so I felt like a big dork when I showed up for work on Wednesday and no one was there... Apparently "I'll see you Wednesday" means not this week, but next. I was in the neighborhood and I knew it'd make his day, so I surprised C with donuts for breakfast before heading up to school to study.
I don't think we're going to end up going out of town this weekend. I was kinda starting to look forward to it, too. Poo. Oh, well. more time to study/ sleep. Although my list of crap to do tomorrow is long and annoying. I'm STILL trying to get medical bills from the car accident paid by my insurance company. And C pointed out that one of my tires is blistered and needs to be replaced so I gotta go to the dealership.
That, and I have to call the vet AGAIN because I'm getting REALLY sick of the cat piss everywhere. Grrr. I'm so sick of cats right now. My sister's cat moved back in with her and he likes to tear open cat food. The dry food, those little bowls of wet food that have a plastic pull-back top opened and strewn everywhere... For some reason he feels the need to come into my room and wreak havoc. Every day I've come home to either a huge food mess or the smell of pee and a needy cat. It's enough to make me want to pop open a beer and throw them out with much force, see if they really always land on their feet.
I'm already grouchy thinking about it. Being an adult is annoying sometimes.

coffee = poo?
does coffee make anyone else have to poo?
maybe that's why people poo in the morning.
off to my first day of work!
i got hired for a medical marketing company owned by this couple who run it out of their home. that equals jeans to work every day, horray.
they want me to do the normal office stuff, plus they want to teach me how to do some webmastering and a little bit of medical writing. kinda cool, huh?
plusses: the guy is not at all creepy and reminds me of my dad. they have three children in college and two cats. :o)
major plus: they are extremely flexible with the schedule and don't care if i take off to study and whatnot. as of now, my hours are 10-4 so i can skip most traffic.
the funny part? these are the people that rescheduled the interview like 4 times and then i didn't hear from them for a while. things always work out...
cross your fingers i don't screw this up.

officially in session
I haven't had much time to sit around at the computer.
I got a job. Will elaborate more later but I think it's bueno.
Mon I got up early (grrump) to meet with Biochem prof to go over some hw I didn't get. Spent the next 9 hours in crazy hard Ochem lab and writing up report. Can we say brain drain?
Biochem exam Thursday. Been studying like mad and I still don't feel prepared.
Trying to figure out whether or not formal lab report on Vitamin C is due for Biochem lab on Thursday. No one is sure. Either way, the prelab (for what lab? no clue yet) is due Thurs and that will take a couple hours.
Friday, gotta write a 6-page paper for psych. It's due Monday but C wants me to [possibly] accompany him to the boonies where his grandpa lives because it's his birthday party and wants to meet me. Kinda anxious b/c it's a big deal and it's a long drive and I hate car rides. That and I will spend the weekend with his family, AND I have those special dietary requirements and I don't want to be a pain in the ass.
If I do go, I still have to write up the Ochem prelab for Monday when I come back Sunday night. Minus a couple hours right there. Add up the hours for Vit C lab (whenever it's due) and next week's post and pre-labs for Biochem, and there's another chunk of time right there.
THEN the first Ochem exam is Friday night, and with my schedule no longer free on Wed and Fri because of work, I will have to find time to study.
Not to mention the psych lectures I haven't been watching...
School is officially back in session people.

tootin' around
The first thing I did when I came home this morning was clean up another spot of cat pee. There's a big foamy spot of carpet cleaner on top of it. Oh, well I needed to vacuum anyway. I have a feeling that, like last time, she will need a stronger round of antiobiotics. She hasn't really been eating (her old food or her new food), and when she did eat a tiny bit this morning she barfed it right back up. I wonder if that's because of the antibiotics? At any rate she barfed up the last dose I gave her. On my mom's favorite rug. Oy. I hear her hurling again... that poor sick cat's gunna have to go outside man.
Yesterday after pipetting and titrating for three hours straight and wishing I had a graduated cylinder (try pipetting 40 ml over and over with just a 5 ml pipet!), I joined the gang for karaoke. It was a small crowd, which is understandable considering it's the beginning of the semester. C had mentioned going to Kemah and riding the rollercoaster or seeing a movie, but I was so beat, I didn't really want to do anything but be a schlub. Maybe tonight I can make myself all cute and do something with him.
It's a gloriously sunny day and my sister Ashley gets off work at noon so I think maybe I'll do something with her. I haven't chilled with her in a while. She's been having trouble breathing lately so she went to the doctor and did some tests. She was telling me how it went and in the midst of everything somehow she managed to see her 6th grade math teacher naked. HAHA Awkward!
