I finally got a chance to post an update -- so I figured I'd answer someone's comment. PunkNiteMike asked "hope you had a decent birthday, even though you did have to work. so how did your first day at the new job go? im just curious! hopefully you'll be able to hang out when Avi is here! "
Well, here is my reply -- sort of..
My birthday was like a really wet fart: a lot leading up to it, but not as expected when it happened. The new job -- it seems ok - but I dont want to say too much for fear it will change.
And I hope I get to hang out with yas too - and hopefully I'll see Avi while she is here too
Update on math class -- instructor said NOTHIING about e-mails I sent him (as a matter of fact, a friend even printed the first one out (she works at the school - and I had forwarded the e-mail to her to see if she had any suggestions) - - anyways - she put it into his mail slot at the school -- and he NEVER brought it up at all.
BTW- a while back I did not make it for a test --- I was told by instructor I got a 0 for it. The next time people were not present for the test-- he kept telling everyone in class how I missed the last test and got a 0 for it.
Add the fact he doesnt reply to e-mails (or even say anything to ma about it) - and add the fact he used me as an example that people will get a 0 if they are not there for the test -- and well, i dont know already. I am disgusted with the class, and I do not feel comfortable talking to the instructor any more. I feel that any discussion I would have with him would be an act of futility.
With that in mind, I have asked a friend to research waht the consequences will be for failing the class. Since Im on financial aid - it may end up permanently removing my ability to get any financial aid- i dont know. (I asked her to look at the website the school has -- since their financial aid section on the web is not intended for people to find information : it is determined to have people NOT find things instead.
(**I was hopeing that what leftover money I had from the spring semseter I could use to go to my little brother's graduation from high school -- his life since 2003 has been very timultous with all the things that happen to our mom-- and then he ending up having a guardian - then another guardian (which is now his current one- and happens to be the parents of his girlfriend) -- and with all the stress he has been through - he is now working 2 jobs AND STILL GOING TO SCHOOL SO HE CAN GRADUATE IN JUNE!.
Needless to say, I was really counting on seeing my lil brother graduate -- so if i lose the financial aid - im royally screwed.

On another note......
I have the new cellphone-- that is the replacement for the broken one. The problems are--- the cellphone needed to be activated -- so it wont be fully functional till 48 hours later. AND
I have lost ALL my contacts on there -- When the phone broke, since I couldnt see the screen, there was no way to retrieve the information -- so it is all lost
So, if you dont hear from me -- dont be pissed -- I dont have you number anymore I need you to give it to me if you want me to have it again.
UPDATE -- i think they got the service to the phone already- got a pic msg -- not 100% sure from who tho
------------------------------
On a side note, I think I have given up on my birthday(s) anymore. This year I really looked forward to it because I am getting old -- and the closer I get to 40, the older I feel. I had hoped to celebrate it with others and feel good about it-- sadly that was not meant to be. So instead of me doing anything special for my birthdays, I'll just end up getting a 6 pack and stayin home anymore. (hell- for many years I was lucky to get a cupcake or a twinkie with a candle on it (mental note: cupcakes or twinkies do not taste too good with a small candle dripping hot wax on it -- cans of beer cannot taste waxy -- unless it is really bad beer)
---------------------------------
I have learned that me finding anyplace at dark is NOT a good idea at all -- its too hard to see places when someone is driving right behind you and they are BLARING their lights at you (not to mention -- some of those new headlights are like seeing the sun -- which makes me think I should wire some of those to the BACK of my car so those F'n idiots that buy those freakin things could get a taste of their own medicine and get BLINDED BY THE LIGHT -- just like they do the the drivers ahead of them.)
-----------------------------------
Other than that....
Someone under the permission of the landlord has mentioned not to feed the mother cat. I feel horrible about that -- it makes me feel sad looking at an animal that needs to eat - yet if I do- i dont know how it would affect my status in this apartment. And the cat makes me feel really guilty since she keeps coming around -- even though I have not fed her for over a week -- she looks at me with her sad eyes and cries at me. Today I tried to pet her and she was a bit skittish - but she stayed near me -- even though i didnt feed her.
----------------------------------
I found out that there are times where work will give little notice that you have overtime -- it may happen within the week (at 650 am when you are supposed to leave at 7 -- they tell you to come in 2 hours (or more ) early -- or it can be friday morning -- to work friday night.

Well, I feel like trying to cheer myself up... so lets see if any of this will...
