Well, another weekend went by, but only this time, I did absolutely nothing. It was so nice to just lay in bed and chill out with my pooch. I didn't have to get up for anything....I didn't have anyone making me be anywhere....it was nice. But tomorrow is the start to another week. ooooooooooooooooo boy. I have to go to the YMCA tomorrow to get a pool schedule. I decided that I am going to start working out and getting in shape. I want to take a water aerobics class.....and considering that I have a free membership at the Y because I am a councilor, I figure why the hell not. I really have packed on the pounds the last few years, and I think that I need to start being conscious of my body.....because I don't want years to go by and suddenly be obese. That would suck.

not to get mushy or anything, but I really miss daniel. We have been doing the long distance thing for 8 months now....and we are still going strong, but I am sick of waiting for the day that I don't have to get on an airplane, which cost me $400 to do, and only get to see him for a week out of 2 months. fuck that shit.

As for valentines day....it has always sucked for me. It will be the 15 year anniversary of my near death car accident. Despite how it may have changed my life in exponential ways, it still hurts to remember the way things happened. It's nuts to even think about it being that long ago. I was 8 years old, but remember it like it was just yesterday. So, Valentines day has always been a real nostalgic day for me....in a very strange way.

at least I have sophia.

Well, I haven't updated in forever because I have been sooooooooooo busy recently. I am so tired and run down....but with the start of the semester, the GRE's, danny being in town, driving to syracuse and then albany the next weekend, and now all my application stuff for grad school, my life has been a whirl wind......

by next weekend though, my life should be in order....ya know?????????

i ordered a juicy couture suit on ebay....and i have been waiting for it to arrive at my apartment, but my mom called and said it arrived at my home in buffalo. that does not help me when i am 8 hours away. im pissed. i want my suit now. i hope my mom ships it to me. yay mom.

bye.

hello everyone. today is my little puggy's birthday. she is one year old! I thought i would share the news for a world wide day of celebration of the greatest little puggy's life! Thanks!


here are some pics to enduce celebration! : (these were taken from my cell phone so they are not that great....)

When i first got sophia:




Sophia tired on the job:





Sophia sleeping....: sorry the pic is sideways

so, has anyone heard about the little girl who was found in las vegas in a dumpster last sunday? her body was found behind my boyfriends work (he is a first grade teacher...so he works at a school)....and no one is claiming her body. There is more to the story....check it out if you have no idea what im talking about.



classes start tomorrow morning with a 10am french intensive review class. on that note: j'ai besoin au lit! bon soir!

well, as you all may have read, i was supposed to get my root canal on wednesday... but when i got there and all ready to get it done, the secretary informed me that as of right now, i am not covered by dental insurance. I have 2 forms of dental insurance through both of my parents, but the only insurance provider this dude worked with was the one through my mom....and of course, those of you who have been under their parents insurance while being a full time student know what a huge hassle all the paper work can be. i did the right thing.... i submitted my enrollment forms, but someone at my moms human resources office didn't get the in on time. so to make a long story short, i walked out of the office without having my tooth fixed. I have to now wait till i get back into town to do it again. nice.

in other jess news, i have been stressing for some odd reason about my id's. i have a license, and a passport, and a SS card, but i can't seem to find my SS card or my passport, and im freaking about about it. i didn't get any sleep last night due to my stressing.

I leave tomorrow for school. I wish I could stay home. School is really kicking my ass. And to think that this semester is just a waste....but i need to go because i only have 114 credits and you need 120 to graduate. so, im taking bullshit classes. and im still working the same 2 stupid jobs.....i need to get a better job up there.

on the other hand, im really excited to get back to my little apartment and i also get to see danny in a week. he and eli are coming up to see me in plattsburgh....yesterday was his birthday (danny's). thursday is sophia's 1st birthday. im excited. she got a cute little pink black and white tweed blazer. my dog is stylin!

well, there goes another journal of complete nonsense. yes! goodbye.

tomorrow is my root canal. fuck. im not looking forward to it, though i hear its not that bad. i will be the judge of that.

i wish i was in nevada right now and not in buffalo. it would be warm and sunny. that would be wonderful.

i am taking the GRE's on the 28th....that only gives me a week and a half to study. fuck. this is a big deal......so like me to wait till the last minute to study for them.

i leave for school on saturday. fuck. i don't want to go back to that shithole place. although im excited aobut my biostatistics class....it should be cool.

other than that. not much going on. blah.

hello again. not much to say, but im in daniels apartment just wasting time and i thought i would write in my journal. last time i was here in vegas, i hated it. it was so miserably hot and i didn't want to do jack shit. but now that i am here now, i am so loving it. it's beautiful and there is so much to do. I am getting excited about moving here actually. Danny and I are looking into possibly getting a condo.....its the same as rent here at the place he is lving.

i taught in dannys class yesterday. they are all mexican first graders and all are the sweetest little things ever. i taught them about germs and they were so excited. i got tons of hugs and i laughed a lot because they are so adorable. I might go back monday to see them again because they think im the coolest. YES! i still definitely don't want to teach though....no no no.

yo, im watching the first 48 on A&E....i love this channel. they always have the best shows on. i don't have cable at my apartment....so im so spoiled right now. i love tv. really, it's so entertaining. i get sucked in and watch it for hours though. so i guess its good i don't have cable.


alright. im out.

well...i hope everyone had a good holiday. things here have been insane. the holidays are always nuts....but man i am glad christmas is over. I think i need to move across the world to have an excuse not to engage in such a stressful holiday with my family. anyway, i guess all went well.

i leave for vegas tomorrow. i am really excited to get out of town and into a relaxing and warm place for once. I am really going to miss my puppy, but my mom will take good care of her.

o, and my hair is blond. really blond. sarah did it....and i have dyed it lots in the last week, because it was hot orange when we initially did it....but it's alright now. but im still not sure i should be blond. we will see....

i got my girl scout cookies finally. they are wonderful. I want good food. like little horderves and chicken tikka masala and pad thai and a mcdonalds double cheese burger. mmm. im hungry. i want mikes subs. maybe i will order. yummy in my tummy.

i am at work right now. some last minute hours to try and get some cash for my trip. i am in desperate need for mullah. sophia is with me too. i love her.

i got a 3.4 this semester. i am so pissed....i know that sounds really dumb because a 3.4 isn't bad at all....but i got a B on my senior thesis because my professor is a bitch and doesn't know anything about physical anthropology. I am going to take it to the dean because i know i deserve an A on that shit. fuck her.

alright. im out for now. goodbye.

yea...um. i went to the dentist yesterday to get my tooth fixed, when the realized that my tooth is so screwed up that they couldn't just do a quick fix, and since my tooth is a 4-root molar, i need to go see a specialist for my root canal. So after all of that drilling, I am back to square one. boy o boy. i love the dentist.

i am at work...O! I AM BACK IN BUFFALO! its a good thing. so yea, i am at work at good ol' frizb's. today is jeff's birthday. so, i am all alone. I really miss working here all the time. I have been working here sooooooooooo long now, but now i don't' work much since i live 8 hours away, and when im home, there are new employees to work, so i fit in where i can.

I know the death cab for cutie cd has been out for like 5 months, but if you don't have it, i think you should. It's good. that's what i have to say about that.

today, i bought a present for (e:hodown) because (e:lilho) said (e:hodown) wanted it.... so i found it and bought it....so (e:hodown), (e:lilho) will be bearing a gift from me to you....although, i think (e:lilho) thinks its from her, but it's not. its from me.

so i am babysitting my boyfriends black pug. He is the cutest little thing. all he wants to do is cuddle....and sophia is not liking it at all. she is so hatin on him its hilarious! she is not used to other dogs up on her mom, so she is a bit jealous, but i have been giving her extra attention just because i feel bad. I ordered her this pink hooded sweatshirt last night. its so cute. i hope it gets here for christmas. and my mom bought her a down pink jacket with a fur hood. not real fur, but faux. it's so cute too! my dog is the most styling dog out there.

im going to see (e:lilho) in about an hour....she is doing my hair. im no longer going to be a darkie. im going light! im kinda nervous, but i am sure it will be wonderful. I need a change.

did i mention it is freezing outside? fuck.

and i am sick of these Bush speeches interrupting my normal shows. i mean, no one wants to watch him speak, more or less hear what he has to say. i mean, come on.

im out.

alright. well. i was planning on leaving today after my last exam, but plattsburgh has decided that it was way cool to get dumped on with like 49587340985 feet of snow. Yea, it took me a half an hour to get out of the parking lot today to go to my exam....so, I have decided that to be on the safe side, not to leave until tomorrow. ugh....which means i have to get up at the crack of dawn because i have to be in Syracuse by 2 tomorrow. boooooooooooo.

but my exams are done. so, i guess this gives me a night to celebrate in plattsburgh!


well, im still hatin on the snow.

here are some more pics of sophia. i hope you all enjoy.
