well, it's been a while since i last posted.....i have a few things i need to say:

1: #1 single on E! is just the cutest. Of course, it reinforces my idea of how adorable lisa loeb is....and can you believe she is like 37?!?!?! for real, i hope i look like that when im 37. Her and her new love, her friend michael, are just so cute, and they totally remind me of daniel and I. adorable.

2: Sophia sprained her ankle. I freaked out on saturday and spent the evening babying my little pug....she couldn't walk, and i cried all night because i didn't know what to do. I took her to the vet on monday, and she is fine....just a little sprain. I got puggy pills to manage the pain, and she should be just fine in a few weeks.... it was just a really scary experience.

3: I have officially been robbed of all my ambitions....all i ever want to do is sleep. its awful. I am blowing off biostatistics...which i love....just because. I don't feel like going. I don't really feel like doing anything actually. This weekend I didn't leave my apartment, and it was wonderful. I haven't done laundry in 2 weeks, and I haven't grocery shopped in 2 weeks....and really, i don't give a shit. I know it sounds awful, but I just can't get on top....im totally strained of time....and im so stressed, and it is really starting to wear me out. So, i just don't give a shit....

4: I have a job interview in Las Vegas when I am there in a week....I also am meeting with the Department Chair of the school I am trying to get into while i am there. super nervous. what should i wear?!?!?! o god...real life is setting in, and frankly, it's scary...i mean, this is my career here....ugh.

5: lastly, I was thinking about my childhood the other night, and one memory popped into mind that made me laugh....(e:lilho) and I were having a sleep over at her house when she used to live on Mang (RIP ho house). This was when her bedroom was in the office in the back of the house....We decided it would be awesome if we went through the most recent year book and punch everyone that we did not like. We thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Actually, thinking back, it was.....we didn't like that April girl....was that her name??? so anyway, apparently we were being really annoying, and (e:hodown) came in and straightened us up.....she was PISSED! she stole our yearbook and yelled at us! hahahahaha. awesome! anyway, i thought i would share some Pollinger-Ho history. more to come in later journal responses......

Well, as usual, plattsburgh sucks so bad. It is 4 degrees here. awesome. with the windchill it is -15. i have to go grocery shopping and pick up my scripts today. i have to bundle up big time. only 21 more days till I go to vegas. I really can't wait.... skirts, flip flops, t shirts, o boy, the thought just makes me smile! And, my birthday is the week after I go, so I get to celebrate my birthday with my man while im there. Thanks to his nice discount at Urban Outfitters, I will be finding nice little things! And, we can't forget sephora. and juicy. shopping in vegas is amazing.

so, i love my water aerobics class. Its awesome. I am the youngest chick there by like 25 years, but it's cute. all the old ladies are like, "whoa, you are really in shape"....but little do they know that I haven't worked out in like 6 months. I just want tone, nothing outrageous, but really, my love handles....or chichos as they would say in spanish, are getting out of hand.

i am going to dye my hair today. My roots are getting gross....and that's gross when you have dark hair and you dyed it blond. I am going to dye it a slightly darker color. My hair looks orange at the moment. gross.

Last night I watched couples figure skating and I witnessed the epitome of what the olympics are all about. I know it's cheesy and all, but it was awesome. Ok, so there was this chinese couple, and they were attempting a new trick never been done in olympics history. It was right at the beginning of their routine. He had to throw her up and she had to do numerous rotations and all this shit....and then land it of course. Well, it didn't happen. And she actually injured herself pretty bad and then hit the side board rail thingy. They stopped the music and she was in so much pain. Every one was like, "O FUCK!" No one could believe that it happened......and then! after moments of waiting to see what was going to happen next, she decided that she didn't work her entire fucking life to get to the olympics.... i mean...ITS THE FUCKING OLYMPICS. ok, so they get back on the ice....and did the rest of the routine so perfectly it was so beautiful. THEY ENDED UP WINNING SILVER! it was so amazing. I was really happy for them.....

i don't know, maybe this is amazing to just me, but i thought it was awesome. I called daniel and told him about it, and he was like, the most amazing thing about it is how excited you are about it. ok, well, i can appreciate the art of figure skating and the intesity and pressure of the olympics.


on another note.....danny had 40 daffodils delivered to my apartment today. haha. it's so cute. I hate roses. fucking cheesy. hydragea's and daffodils are my favorite....and he said that the lady told him that hydrageas would be astronomical because they are out of season. yea yea. But Thanks for the flowers hun. They are beautiful!

Lastly, I finally got my fucking juicy couture suit in the mail yesterday after a fucking month of waiting....and it's huge. Awesome. I think i might take it to the tailor. yea, im taking a sweat suit to the tailor, but hello, it's worth $300. You are damn right im takin it to the tailor. Im wearing this shit if its the last thing I do.

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.
