E=MC.....I'm screwed

I forgot how much I hate math. I started back at school today with one class....intermediate algebra. Bleck. Ever since the economy went down the crapper and I lost 48% of my investments (stabba stabba) I came to the conclusion that I wont be able to live the kind of life I want to without a better job. I figure that becoming an RN would be the best career path for me. With all the elective classes I've taken I only have the science part left to do and that will take me a year and a term. Plus one of the few fields that has shown growth lately is healthcare. I figure that by completing my RN I will secure a better future for myself and be able to afford to travel. This will be my second attempt at nursing and this time I am confident that I can do it. There is no trying this time, there's just success.


Oh and I'm moving out of my mom's house. Heck freakin yes! When I moved back home I told myself this would just be temporary. Temporary turned into 2 years. I move in two weeks to a beautiful townhouse that includes landscaping in the (inexpensive) rent. Let's hope the boys who cut my grass are cute ;)

Our 44th president

This is the first election where the person I voted for won.

What do you do when your days off are at the beginning of the work week for normal people? Go to see Spring Awakening with your father of course! Ugh. Most embarassing father daughter moment ever. Of course once they started having sex at the end of Act 1 I figured the worst was over. It was the (i apologize in advance) CLIMAX of the show. As the curtain came back up (there wasn't a curtain but its more dramatic than saying "when the actors took their places on stage") I breathed a sigh of relief that the worst part was over. Singing began and...wait...omg..noooo don't recap the sex! Oh ok yeah we saw that, yeah saw that too. Oh jeez, must you pull down your pants again? OMG....now theres thrusting? This is worse than the time when I was 9 and some family friends of ours couldn't work the remote and accidentally put on a "late night" channel.

Sigh.

The musical was good. I would recommend seeing it....but without kids or parents.

Books?

I am having the hardest time finding a good book to be engrossed in. This is probably because I have been waiting for a month for my sister to finish reading Breaking Dawn (I can't find the underline feature on here!). I am impatient! I've started and haven't gotten into the following books (again, all without being underlined. This drives me insane!)

*Sand in my Bra- The stories are written well but....I'm not hooked. Though I will finish the book.
*A Heartbreaking work of Staggering Genius- no.
*Pride and Prejudice- I like it this book alright but I don't love it. I am trying very hard to be a Jane Austen fan.


Oh for the days of Bitter is the New Black. I read all three of Jen Lancaster's books in a weekend. They are hilarious!

The geniuses I work with decided to have a baby shower at work. In a bar.

I didn't go.

The guest of honor must have had so much fun.

Dear me, what is that unpleasant aroma

I saw The Newsies (movie) in 6th grade drama class. Its an almost entirely male cast and my 11 year old self was in heaven. I'm sure my drama teacher wanted to show an example of musical theatre but all I saw was hot boys.

The Cast.....

The hottest actor ever:

A Bash Brother:

Another hottie who I can't find in the cast but I KNOW its him:

The short substitute teacher from Lizzie McGuire.

Oh the lame-ness you will do

I myspaced him.

The only thing worse is googling him (nothing comes up I tried....).

When I looked at him posing oh so casually on a bed with one arm out of frame, I realized that I had no emotional connection to his face. I haven't seen him in almost 2 years. The images and the pain attached to him aren't attached to his face. They are attached to his memory. I still wanted to message him and tell him to go jerk off a whale. But I didn't.

Progress.
