Stupid, Stupid Peolpe At Work...

Have you ever meet someone, and you were like, really, you're really that stupid? Case in point, the girl at work named Katie, who I took a trip to see Bob Barker with. Then for some really weird reason she decided that I was stupid and that she needed to be a big b**ch to everyone. Anyway, again she's stupid and annoying and I'm venting.

Hopefully, you never have to meet this girl.

Lost Is So Awesome...

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR LOST.

I'm not usually one to freak out for a show. Actually, who am I kidding? I do it all the time.

But last night. Wow!

I find myself rooting for Ben alot. Michael Emerson needs to win an Emmy for his portrayal of Ben because it is absolutely brilliant. It blends this perfect balance of super creepy genius and sad feeling. Last night when he said that the children would stop asking about their mother in time, there was a realization that Ben has no concept of innocence because he probably had none as a child either thanks to his dad. The writers seem to give him the best lines and have made Ben into a great character. I strangly feel sad for his character. Who wants to grow up believing that they are responsible for the death of their mother? It would totally suck. Then there is the possible back story of Ben's life long love of Anne who most likely died during pregnancy. That would be why Juliet is there. Then when Ben was yelling at Juliet, wow, again Michael Emerson needs to win a freaking Emmy. Serious folks, he's that freaking good.

Okay, I think that's all I wanted to say. Lost is brilliant this season. But, I wish Locke would get his head out of his butt and see that he should just kill Ben. Next week will be pull your hair out crazy because of all the stuff I have to turn in but I'll find a way to handle it all.

Spring Break Is Right Around The Corner...

I have 8 projects/assignments due within the next two weeks and I'm not joking. It's going to be crazy over the weekend and week. I'm seriously going to be drained by the end of it all.

Thankfully, Spring Break is near and all I'm going to do is sleep and watch TV. Plus, I'm going to go check out the new Casino down on the coast. I've been once since they had the new hotel up put I didn't do any gambling. Should be great.

That's all for now. Hope everybody is doing well and has a nice weekend.

I Love Fonts...

Yes, it true. I love fonts. All types of fonts. I like looking at fonts and picking them out. And I can't wait to make my own font. It's going to be so much fun.

That overwhelming feeling I had last time is gone. I'm still swamped but it's not that bad. Besides, I keep telling myself, I'm graduating in June. It's my main motivation. And next semester is going to be easy.

I should be working but instead I'm bloging. I'm such a procrastinator.

That's all for now. Hope everybody has a nice week.

Just One Those Days...

Ever have one of those days were all you want to do is cry?

Today would happen to be one that day. I haven't slept very well all week so I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep right now. I've had about 4 projects due within this entire week and it's only Wednesday. Plus, I'm working 16 hours this week.

Then comes the worst part for me. I can handle all the rest. That's no probelm. The problem for me is when I can't understand something. I don't know how to do something in Flash and I feel like crying. I tried to ask two guys I work with and it totally went over my head. There is no understanding what so ever. So, again I want to cry because the project is due tomorrow. Hopefully, my professor will email me and I'll get an extension.

Alright, I'm going to go crawl away and hide in a dark corner.

There Is So Much Snow...

Holly Freakin' Cow! There is like 3 inches of snow outside. Please forgive me but that's a lot of snow for the valley. Usually it all melts away by 3 PM. But this time it snowed for like 6 or 7 hours and it's still here from yesterday. Plus, we might get more snow. It's not that bad but they haven't canceled school so I still have to walk like 6 blocks to get to class.

Wow, it's absolutely beautiful.

Hope everybody is doing well and has a nice week ahead.

My Future...

Well, I only have about 5 months of school left before I enter the real world. Until recently (the last few weeks), I had no idea what I was going to do with my life.

I had to considered my options carefully because I've taken out school loans that will start payments six months after I graduate which isn't bad since the interest won't start until then either.

I had considered staying in school to get my second degree but that would have been another two years for the undergraduate studies plus one for the Bachelor's of Fine Arts. I said no way to three more years of school. I simply can't do it.

My other option was to find a job and start working. Well, it's good idea and all but if I wanted to stay in the same location I would have to find some useless, low paying job. I said no thank you. I could move but I also don't want to live in a really crowded city. I'm from a very small town of less than 4,000 people.

My very last option that I've considered heavily and with lots of care is joining the military. I've wanted to join the Air Force since I was like 10 when I saw some amazing air craft at an Air Force that my uncle was stationed at. There are some great benefits of joining the military. I know that right now people are like don't join the military because you'll get sent to Iraq and die. But I've considered all that and the likelihood of me getting sent to the front lines while being in the Air Force are slim. If I was going to join the Army, the chances would be a lot higher.

But finally I made a decision about two weeks ago about what I wanted to do. I'm joining the Air Force and I'm going to be a dog handler through the Security Forces. I'm totally excited. I talked to my parents about it and they are okay with the whole thing but are still very much worried. My boyfriend supports me one hundred percent which is awesome. He said that he would here for me when I'm gone. He said he would make sure my family is taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend.

But I think the best reaction out of anybody I've told is my two bosses. Every year my jobs has yearly performance reviews and they always ask what are you going to do after you graduate. Prior to this time, I had no idea and that's what I would tell them and they would talk about me getting a job. But this time I told them that I was going to join the Air Force and both of them were shocked to say the least. My guy boss is a designer and that's what I'm currently doing in school. He's really been supportive of me doing this and he was totally shocked and thought it was a complete change. But I'm really lucky that they still support with the decision of going into the Air Force. I think I also impressed them my knowledge about what I wanted to do and how to go about doing it.

Anyway, I only recently decided to be a dog handler. I had been thinking about the Security Forces or Explosive Ordnance Disposal area and then I stumbled upon a section talking about being a dog handler. I remembered along time ago watching a few programs about dog handling and instantly thought, that's what I'm going to do. It was like BAM! I had it all figured out. The best part is that I can probably get the Air Force to pay back all my loans and send me to school for a second degree. That would be awesome. The enlistment bonus should also be a good sized one for joining the Security Forces (it's just a special name for Military Police). But the only down side is that I can't be a dog handler and an officer so it means lower pay. I'm not too worried about it though. I could be a Non Commissioned Officer possibly. I think the only thing I'm really worried about is basic. I'm worried I won't be able to keep up physically.

Alright, that's pretty much it since I've made this a really long blog. Everybody have a nice weekend.

Go Check This Out...

Everyone has to go check this out:

http://blog.zap2it.com/tvgal/2008/01/lets-forgive-fr.html

This is a regular TV column I read and I posted a question and was featured as the first question. Way cool!

And yes, I forgot to included a word in that first sentence.

Mmm...I Haven't Updated In A While...

Let's just say life has been busy. My boyfriend was in India for two and a half weeks. It was a really long time. But now he's at least in the US with his family. I can't wait for him to be closer.

Finally got moved into my apartment. It's all set up and looks get. Just have to hang a few pieces of artwork then it will be finished. I might get a cat. I would be nice since I had to leave my dogs with my dad.

That's pretty much it. New Year's is close and then I'll have a week to sit around and do nothing.

Everybody stay well and healthy.

Move In Day...

Tomorrow is move in day. I'm totally excited. It's going to be a long day but well worth it.

Not much has changed since the last post. Flash still sucks along with DVD Studio Pro. I still haven't figured out what I did wrong with the stupids so that they don't highlight. Oh well, I ended up using standard buttons and they work. The whole thing is encoding and then I'll burn it to see if it works. Hopefully. Cross your fingers.

The weather is cloudy, foggy, and cold. It's really not that bad. But the temps at night are below freezing which makes the morning commute a little dangerous.

I think that it's for now. My encoding is almost done so it's back to being a slave to the machine.

Hope everyone is well.
