My grandpa deserves one of these new pocket watches because he’s basically my hero. Monday, my tire blew out on my way to class. My grandpa had to come and pick me up, take me to class and then he changed my tire, using the spare. If left to my own devices, I probably would have been stranded on the side of the road.

The rest of the week hasn’t gone too well either, but I’m too tired to explain it all right now. Maybe after a nap, I’ll have the energy to revisit my horrible week.

I went shopping last Friday with my grandma and found some really good buys at Goody’s. I got three shirts and some yoga pants for about $40. Score! I was really excited. I’ve been in dire need of some new shirts.

The spring semester of classes started today. I had two classes, and I felt dead the whole time I was in both. I am not a morning person.

Then I hung out with Shakti and her boyfriend, Keith, between classes. We ate at Burger King and then hung out at her apartment. Then we were almost late for our next class because it was later than we thought. Why must time fly when you’re having fun?

I found out today that the Humane Society chose to use my template for their info cards, which is really just awesome. And Shakti said she saw one of my Rescue Mission posters hanging up in the hospital. Awesome, again. I’m hoping to spot one while I’m out and about. Kyle said he’d try to get a copy for everyone in the class.

I also have to buy a portfolio binder, which is going to be pricey, but necessary. I’m not looking forward to doing presentations and such this semester, but I suppose it’s a necessary evil. Too bad I totally just spent about $100 on bras and some hoodies. I need to learn more about how to manage my money. I’m terrible.

I was totally rocking out in my car on the way home. I love my iPod adapter. If I had the money, I would so be getting some sweet car spoilers on my car. Of course, if I had the money, I’d be buying myself a car that wasn’t a piece of poo.

The best part of the day, though? It had to be hearing “Something Going Round” by Hanson playing in Burger King during lunch. Oh yeah.

Well, it’s pretty icky outside right now. My brother’s school was closed today, and my grandparents got stuck in the driveway this morning when they were leaving. My sister also said her car didn’t want to start, which is probably indication that my car won’t want to start either. I’m not brave enough to bundle up and go outside and give it a try, though.

I really do need a new car, though. Something big and durable with four-wheel drive. Maybe I need a truck. At least I know that wouldn’t be as likely to get stuck in the snow. But can you imagine? Me in a big truck, bright lights and four wheel drive, complete with a truck rack on top? It would be completely ridiculous. I think after driving my car for the last three years that driving anything bigger would seem huge. I’m not sure I could do it.

I’ll be glad when winter is over, though. I hate this time of year. It’s too cold, too hard to get anyway and it just makes me want to stay inside and hibernate like a bear.

Class was fine yesterday. Graphic Design 2 was okay. We worked on our first assignment. It’s our “identity” logo or whatever. I’ll post when mine is finished. Got lots of (good) suggestions during critiques, so I must figure out how to do things. Electronic Imaging made my head spin. Our first assignment is a doozy. We have to make a realistic scene using textures. I’ll be working on it forever, I swear. TOO MANY ASSIGNMENTS. My head will explode and we’ll see pieces of Illustrator and Photoshop scattered about. But I learned how to use layer masks and blending masks. Totally psyched to start using them. I’m so nerdy.

I’m going to see Halloween with Blaine and Cody tomorrow. YAY! *horror freak* I’m not looking forward to getting up at 7:30 to go to the computer lab tomorrow. I can foresee a nap sometime after I get home. Lab time makes me sleep. Sad. I also need to go to the bank and cash a couple of checks and go by the gas station.

The best news is MY CAR IS FIXED! Yes, that does call for all caps because it’s been a piece of poo for THREE YEARS. The problem? The spark plugs. No joke. That was all that needed to be fixed. Too bad the stupid people that did the tune up ages ago didn’t change them like they were supposed to. Bah.

I was just reading about progesterone cream and I realized I totally could have used this a couple of weeks ago. Normally, I don’t have cramps all that bad, but it was pretty bad last month. Anyway, the cream is supposed to help prevent them among many, many other things. It’s only $24.95, and if I have cramps this month like I did last month, it would probably totally worth buying. We’ll see.

I’m so tired. I think I’ll be calling it a night early.

I think I can say my weekend was well and perfectly boring. I didn’t do much of anything worthwhile. Not that I’m really complaining. Sometimes it’s just nice not to do anything. Grandma and I went to the grocery store on Friday evening. We went by the Dollar Store down the road from it first to buy some other stuff, but they didn’t have any carts in the store, so we didn’t end up getting everything we needed.

We still need to go back to the store. I need to get cat litter and cat food for Smokey. I also need some hair products. I got shampoo and conditioner, but they didn’t have the Fructis hair cream I’ve been using. I really like it, so I wanted to get more, but I’ll have to wait. I also need to get some more skin care products. I’ve been using Clean & Clear acne cream, and I’m about out. It seems to work the best, which is surprising since most of the other Clean & Clear stuff I’ve used has caused me to break out. I’m not sure why either. It’s weird. Hopefully we’ll go by the store today or tomorrow.

I dropped my car off at the shop last night. I’m hoping to hear back on what’s wrong with it. I’m hoping that it will be something cheap that works to fix the problem. I probably shouldn’t hold my breath, though, since nothing else seems to have worked so far. There’s always hope, though, I suppose.
