Money, Money, Money!

I got my $750 refund from CU, plus I just signed up for the $1000 research grant today, plus I am now getting $13 an hour to tutor someone in Calc 1 and CSCI 1300. Good week for money.

Plus I feel a lot better this week. I guess I was feeling depressed for like the last 2 weeks, because now I...

....so is that a vote for a mac?? tongue

$$$ seems to be no problem for you, sir!! congrats!! wink
smashedpumpkin:
money always helps moods go up, sadly enough! when i'm feeling down, i do a little impulse buying...probably not a good thing. whatever glad things are looking up!

the hemp shoes are a subdued hunter green. i do, however, own a pair of lime green converse shoes! biggrin

I love you fall break! biggrin

My brain is only semi fried now. biggrin

Also I shouldn't really be typing right after I wake up, because I can barely type more than a sentence. biggrin
jonnytrrrash7:
you are doing a better job than me......where's my fall break??
smashedpumpkin:
i love fall break too. i've actually found myself sitting here and wondering what i could possibly do next. i guess i should enjoy these last few precious hours...or do math homework?

i didn't go to silverthorne because it was snowing. frown so i got hemp shoes instead! they look like normal adidas shoes, they're like green canvas.

how was your break?

I got $1000 today for signing up to do research with an Aerospace Professor. I guess I am doing rocket science now. biggrin

As for Max, I think that he is just socially retarded (probably not potically correct). I talked to Max today, and we talked about friendships and things in general. Max knew that we were growing apart and instead of talk about it he...

wow! can i tell people i know a rocket scientist now? wink

i hope things go better between you and max. resolving things is much better than breaking them off completely, but he no longer has an excuse to be a jerk since he's acknowledged it.

hope you have a fantastic break and catch up on some sleep!

oooooh cant you get me a job???

Well I talked to Max on Friday and we both agree that we're drifting apart from each other. We didn't much futher than that, but I made the decision that he's really not worth presuing as a friend any more. I mean I'll still hang out with him in classes and stuff, but I feel that I have grow as a person, while he's still...

in my situation i've had a lot of friends come and go....i don't want to say i'm not a good friend, but i do lose touch with lotsa people.....i was talking to jj at work and alot of my social fix is fulfilled by yakking and joking with customers...sometimes i just wanna go home and zone alone........

that said, i think everyone only has a few real good friends in real life....and there's people i've known for a long time and its such that we can just fall back in line and have good times like we used to......

i'm sure you must have some people like that...if not, then soon!!
smashedpumpkin:
it's good you're getting everything resolved although the results seem sort of painful.

just keep in mind that everything is a series of ups and downs and since you're on a down right now, an up should be right around the corner! followed by a down, but such is life.

i think those social groups are only on tv. i have a few really close work friends, a few close school friends, and a few close high school friends but they generally never mix.

as for now....i recommend ice cream! biggrin

My friend Max is pissing me off recently. We have been best friends since like 6th grade, and we have had our ups and downs, but recently he has been acting weird.

Every time this year that I have introduced him to some new or he introduces me to someone new, he gets all weird. If the person asks if we friends or something, he...

jonnytrrrash7:
that's a rough one......i'd say he's insecure 'bout something.....how irritating!
smashedpumpkin:
i hate that feeling of growing apart from a really close friend. i had a great summer hanging out with my best bud and then her friend from grand junction came and stayed with her for the rest of the summer before they went back to school and stuff sort of went down the crapper. she's a much more unpleasant person when i was around both of them at the same time.

my opinion: i think he's definitely doing it for his self-esteem. so that he feels above you. actually, i think low self-esteem could be the cause of most weird things people do! i'm sorry... frown i hope he quits being weird.

Jawbeaker and Jets To Brazil are such great bands, and my Calc 3 test was a bastard. No one even finished 3/4 of the Calc 3 test. I finished 2/3 of it and I am shooting for a 30-40%. I would type more but me brain is fried and I have only gotten like 12 hours of sleep in the past 3 days. biggrin

calc 3. good times.
smashedpumpkin:
yes! i got my ticket!

since you mentioned the blood brothers, i put in the album "burn, piano island burn" which is the one i have. my favorite song off of it is the same title as the album....some warning, however: you have to be in the the strangest mood to listen to these guys.

i used to always get fed up with my pants in the summer and cut them off into shorter pants but now i just roll them up...to avoid such headaches in the winter.

good luck with your exams as well....five days and this will all be over.

and for the love of god, get more sleep!!

HA HA I just downloaded the new Against Me!/Lucero split demo. Apparently at a Lucero show the manager of Against Me! and Lucero was playing the demo of the split before the show on the PA and someone stole the CD. I don't really support stealing the CD, but it has 7 new studio quality songs on it. I am definately buying this split when...

Tonight, I was at my friend Max's apartment and he thought it would be a good idea to start drinking at 10 AM today. So by the time I got there he was totally wasted, like not making sense and falling on the floor. Then he went to the football game and the drank some more at halftime, then after the game drank some more....

good for you.....it's particularly obnoxious when you are straight and everyone is acting like drunk asshole...although i shouldn't talk, i've been mr. wasted on more than a few occasions.......you are right, we should all just be who we are and not have crutches of whatever sort to put up a front....but, easier said than done

way to stand your ground and be responsible for your friends! and it was nice to meet you finally...glad you are digging your wax!!
smashedpumpkin:
i don't understand the whole drinking to get wasted and make an ass of yourself thing either. i don't get the whole peer pressure thing either. if you choose not to drink they should respect the fact that you have self-control. oh well....

like you said, darwin didn't do his job! biggrin wink

i'm actually glad that i have too much to do that i don't even have time to fall into that scene.

I just finished my homework at 1:30 AM, I HATE ENGINEERING RIGHT NOW! frown

I planned to go vist jonnytrrrash7 and buy some records, but those plans fell through when my program for Computer As Componets stop working. Then I had CAPA and then Calc 3 homework. All in the mean time I had to eat dinner and go to the gym. Blah. puke

I did buy...

i thought you said engineering was cool yesterday! tongue

damn technology....see ya soon, i hope! smile
smashedpumpkin:
whenever i feel overwhelmed by homework, i go to bed. maybe not the most efficient thing but there's a point where your brain turns off and everything you read is like, "blah....blah....blah....covalent bond....blah blah..."

haha, "road trip" almost ruined french toast for me! but not completely since i'm still making it....

i'll get my ticket now too!

Engineering is sweet! whatever

I woke up at 8 AM yesterday and literally did school work from 9AM to 2 AM today. The "highlight" of my day was the Physics midterm. Which wasn't so bad (I got an around a 80%), but someone in my friend Max's test room had a seizure in the middle of the test. The person is okay I guess, the EMTs...

my brain hurts just thinking about calc and physics...i flunked calc in high school (although the teach passed us because it was like an honors class)....i just got lost in the second half of the course (differentials? or...integrals... tongue )

my new roomie has a history of seizures and has to take special meds....and my ex-roomie had a brother who died from a seizure....scary stuff!

see ya soon!
smashedpumpkin:
sounds like a plan, stan! the blood brothers are...different. they're pretty ear-bleeding but i enjoy them!

wow...i hope i don't get so stressed that it'll induce seizures! i have a clicker for my chemistry class. the points are extra credit and you don't even have to get the answers right to get points. wrong answers are worth 1 and right ones are worth 1.1. WOOO!

I just found out today, that Against Me! is playing the Gothic Theater on Oct. 15th, but my friend that I go to shows with can't go to the show, because it's his birthday and his bothers are comming into town that day. So I don't have anyone to go with. frown Hopefull I can find someone to go with me, or else I just go...

just as long as you follow proper tall guy etiquette so i'm not that person with the guy that's too tall. wink

I saw Napolean Dynamite last night with two friends. I really liked the movie, while one of my friends loved the movie and the other friend hated it. I guess it's one of those movies that you ethier get or you don't . The one that hated it, said that it had no plot or story and she thought it was one of the stupidest...

i've seen it five times....i suppose you can imagine which category i fall into! biggrin two mormon brothers from byu are behind that movie, oddly enough.

i think it's the funniest movie ever but i have a weird sense of humor...my dad is really dry and my mom is sort of ditzy and as a result, my humor is sort of unconventional. whatever

hey it's a start....but you def. need more wax, dude! wink
