I'm a murderer

2005-07-25T05:05:50Z

Tonight Chan and I were driving home from Dave's house when we saw a fox near the cemetary in harrisville and I was telling her how I never hit anything before except for maybe a bird and I wasn't even sure if I killed it. We were in my car, so I couldn't knock on wood so I said knock on plastic instead and knocked on my ipod. So I drop Chan off at her house and I start driving down Douglas pike going about 45mph...all of a sudden I see these two cats dart in front of my car and then I hear the dreaded thump...I fricken hit a cat (it was pretty small so it might have even been a kitten, which makes me feel even worse) and had to swerve so that I didn't hit its friend. After nearly having a heart attack I called Chan to tell her and debated to go back to see if it was really dead or not. I went back and saw the poor little thing dead on the side of the road and I started crying because my cat got hit by a car and died when I was little and I guess the trauma of that came back to me. I feel so bad, because some little kid is probably gonna wake up tomorrow and see their cat dead on the side of the road, because I'm an idiot and knocked on plastic instead of wood!! So I learned my lesson...never say something that could jinx you if you don't have wood to knock on.
So yeah, I'm gonna try to fall asleep and hopefully I won't have nightmares about being a cat killer.

RIP blackandwhitecatondouglaspike

today i had the pleasure of helping out a customer who was wearing florescent pink lipstick...
1) she was old
2) i couldn't help but stare at it even though it was literally hurting my eyes

Let's think about something...is $7.22 an hour really enough motivation for me to wake up at 7:22am to go to work for 8 hours after getting 4 hours of sleep...HELL FRICKEN NO...but am I doing it, Yes...why, I don't know!

I got accepted to URI...as long as my GPA is at least a 2.5...which wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't such a slacker. I got a D in bio...fantastic...that brought my 3.3 GPA down to a 2.88. Who knows how I'll do in my music class, since I just can't seem to bring myself to do the 2 assignments that I have left. Either way, I'm living down in Narragansett next year, even if I have to commute to CCRI in Warwick.
I'm not working at all this weekend, because they pretty much forced me to take some time out of work, because everytime I'm there I'm miserable. I've been working a lot lately, so I think that after a weekend off I'll be better (I hope). So Cassie or Christina, if you're reading this, call me up, because I can go out with you girls for once!

I just checked the status of my uri application online and it says "complete," but I don't know if the complete means that I'm accepted or rejected. I'm doing awful this semester, especially in bio (Cassie and I would rather skip class and go out for lunch than go to lecture). I have a B in my online music class and I've put in enough hours to get an IC for my math lab class (meaning that I can finish it in the summer), but that class won't even transfer to URI...so it's pretty pointless. Yeah so anyways, I feel like a senior in high school right now waiting for the rejection/acceptance letter. If the envelope is small then it's most likely rejection, but if it's pretty big then it's definitely acceptance...ahhh I'm so nervous!
I'm so excited for dave matthews!! It's going to be so much fun with laura and chan, because neither of them have been to a dave show before. Ahh, summer...I can't wait!

I'm so happy that it was nice out today, because I've been waiting all winter to be able to wash my car and I finally got to do it today. It's definitely time to break out the flip flops and drive around with the windows down without freezing!
Yeah so, I really don't think that I'm going to be accepted to URI for next semester, and it's all because I have been really lazy with school. I'm a part-time student and my classes aren't even that difficult (I have an online class and a math lab, meaning I can pretty much do my work whenever I want). However, I do go to my bio lectures and labs and I have a D in the class. I've failed both of the tests and we only have the final left, which I'm definitely cheating on because there's no way that I can pass it if I don't. Even if I don't get into URI, I'll still be living in 'gansett and I'll just be a CCRI scumbag for yet another semester..whatev.
This is totally random, but I swear that this girl I used to work with at mcdonalds (kristie boise) is haunting me...everywhere I go, I see this girl...I went to dunkin donuts on saturday and sunday before work and who do I see there both days, her!! One day she was giving advice about guys to some high school girls that didn't even know her!! Then a few weeks before that (after seeing her at dunkin donuts again) I go to the mall and hear her voice before I even see her (I felt bad for the salesperson in victoria's secret who was helping her out). Then today, I was at the bank and who walks in behind me, her!! Not to mention that I see her all the time at CCRI. She's probably one of the last people that I want to see...but it's not like we ever say hi or anything...it's just weird that I always see her.

I'm so glad that I spent $89 on a CD that can't be returned once opened for my online music class. The syllabus specifically says that the class is designed for people with little to no music knowledge...it is serioulsy impossible to figure out how to even begin the class, nevermind trying to figure out how to play the damn music. I don't know how people with little to no music knowledge as well as little to no computer knowledge figure this out. I'm already part-time at CCRI, so I might as well drop this class too because it won't really make a difference.

The timing of this snow storm is terrible! Normally I'd be excited to get out of work early (and I probably won't even have to work tomorrow, because we'll probably be closed) but I just had to buy books for school and I definitely need the money, plus I want to start saving up for when I move to 'gansett next year.

I haven't updated in awhile, but I did get into URI. I decided not to go until the fall because I didn't have a place to live and I didn't want to commute there a few times a week. So, I'm back at the always ghetto fabulous, CCRI! The semester didn't start off too well (well at least in my accounting class)...do teachers (not professors, after all, they do teach at CCRI) honestly expect students to function at 9am without coffee...I don't think so! I have bio with Cassie, which is fun, however, I still don't know the meaning of the word "life" even after the half hour class discussion in which just about every person gave a definition and the teacher said that they were all wrong. Ah, hopefully the class won't be too bad. I can't wait until next year, it's gonna be soooooooo much fun!!!

Christmas was pretty fun...I almost had an awesome yankee swap gift last night with my mom's side of the family, but then one of my cousins stole it and I ended up with a gift that my aunt got at the gift shop, which was more appropriate for a 40 year old than it was for me.

I remember when I was younger how my sister, brother, and I could barely sleep past 5am before we would get up and attempt to wake up my parents. Now, it's my parents trying to wake us up. I did not get the kate spade bag that I wanted (maybe it was the $400 price tag that was attached to it that turned my mother away) but anyways, I did get enough gas cards to hopefully last me through the winter. I also cannot wait to go to the gap, american eagle, and old navy to spend the gift cards that I got to those stores.

The thought of working all day tomorrow makes me sick, but thinking about Monday and Tuesday (thank god for high school hockey tounaments in Maine) makes me happy!!

Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I'm not one for the New Year's resolutions...I never stick to them

What was your biggest achievement of the year? getting along with my parents 75% of the time...however, I have yet to have a normal conversation with my dad without feeling weird

What was your biggest failure? I can't think of anything

Whose behavior merited celebration? all of the girls!!

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? I'm not going to mention names

Where did most of your money go? where hasn't my money gone to???

What did you get really, really, really excited about? giving gifts to the giving tree

What song will always remind you of 2004? songs from the summer

What would you do if you met yourself? umm probably give a dirty look and roll my eyes!

What do you wish you'd done more of? saving my money

What do you wish you'd done less of? swiping my credit card, getting involved in something that would go nowhere

How will you be spending Christmas? well I spent christmas eve with my mom's side and christmas day with my dad's side

Who did you spend the most time on the phone with? Josh

Did you fall in love in 2004? negative

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004: long distance doesn't work!

SWEATA V.

Tonight was so much fun! Laura, Chan, and I went to the Capital Grille (thanks to my dad's year old gift certificates that he didn't even notice that I stole)! We got all dressed up and apparently looked 21, because we got served. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent! Laura is still going through her little phase and was all about the waterboy/busboy. Just as we were leaving Chan and Laura got hit on by a 70 year old man which was pretty funny. It was definitely a fun time and we managed to spend all of the money!

P.S.
Thank you Wright's Farm for depositing my check a day early...I'm very thankful!!

would you like to save 15% today by opening up a (store name) card?

2004-11-09T20:26:56Z

I have 2 problems

1) I have horrible spending habits...I make about $125 a week and have no problem going shopping and spending that amount in one store

2) I have an obession with credit cards...anytime I'm offered a store credit card, I get one and get sucked into using it again and again (duh, that's why they get you to sign up for them). I need a sharp pair of scissors to chop these up before I get myself into trouble!

I have the same teacher for advertising and intro to business...for the second time now he decides to give a test in both classes on the same day...what a douche bag! For advertising we can use an outline, but the chapters are so long that the outline ends up being about 15 pages..I'm on page 1 and both tests are tomorrow!
I finally sent in my URI application 6 days before the deadline! (procrastination is definitely a part of my daily life!) I really hope that I get accepted for the spring, because I don't wanna spend another semester at CCRI!
This journal entry is boring me so I'm gonna go try to finish this shitty outline.

2004-10-06T01:01:50Z

Could today have been any nicer?? I absolutly love this weather! I haven't decided if I want to apply to uri for the spring or for next fall. If I applied (and got accepted) for the spring, I most likely would have to commute, but if I got in for the fall semester then my chances of finding somewhere to live off campus are much better. I thought that this semester would be hard, but now that I'm about a month into the semester, it isn't that bad.
I started working at bath and body works about 3 weeks ago and I love it! I'm still training so I'm not getting a ton of hours, but once the holiday season starts I'll be getting more. The only thing is that I've been spending most of my check there, because I always find something new to buy.

Thank you!

The tuition at CCRI is $1,155 which is very cheap considering that WNEC was about $13,000 per semester. However, my books at wnec were only about $200. I just bought books today for 4 classes it and it cost me $444.75...that's at least 2..maybe even 3 very nice bags!! Hopefully I get a lot of money back at the end of the semester because that's a lot of money for books that I'm probably not even going to read.
I wish that I was going away for school!! School hasn't even started yet and I feel like a loser because there's nobody around! Maybe I can hang out with these two cool girls from work...I won't mention any names, but they're the two that NEVER EVER do any work! ugghh...hopefully I can transfer in the spring!

To the thief who keeps stealing from 60 Hemlock Farm Trail...my bedroom [the one upstairs and to the right] I'd really appreciate it if you kept you skanky hands off of my things or at least return them once you're done. Thank you.

If anyone knows where my Ashlee Simpson CD disappeared to please let me know...it was last seen in my CD player last night...last known person to probably enter my room to browse for items to steal would be someone living in my house...a girl and not my mother...who does that leave??? hmmm...
I miss you ashlee, please return to your home soon!

Tonight was so much fun! I hung out with people I haven't seen all summer. There were some random people at scott's house and one of them told me some very knowledgable information....apparently my sister stole my ID (the one that got stolen from my purse at a concert and then I found again) and gave it to one of her friends who doesn't look a single thing like me. Now MAYBE I would have given it to her if she would have asked, but because she didn't this is blackmail. I'm 19 and she's 17...I'm legally allowed to go to the club and she isn't. On thursday night she was at the club and I could have so told my mother but I chose not to...but now that I found out that my ID was taken so that one of her friends (who I don't even know) could get into the club, I'm quite pissed! I think that I'm going to tell my mom where my sister really was the other night...why...because I'm a bitch and I can!!!

It's 6:55am and I cannot sleep even though I'm soooooooo tired that it hurts to keep my eyes open. I've taken 2 pills that you're only supposed to take one of every 12 hours and a tylenol pm and I still can't sleep. Well actually I did sleep for 2 hours and was then woken up by the sound of my cell phone. I have to work in 5 hours, I'm seriously considering calling in because I'm gonna be a total bitch because i haven't slept in the past 2 days. uggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!
