!!!!!!!!!!
today makes two whole years that mike and i have been together. since we both have to work tonight, we decided to celebrate yesterday. so...mike got home around 5:00 last night and presented me with a card that he had made that included a set of directions to an unknown destination. the next page of the card: a bunch of pearl jam stickers (stickers! whee!), and...tickets to the pearl jam concert at the pepsi center in albany, which was at 7:30 last night!! talk about keeping a secret until the last minute! we got there in time to catch the opening act, too, which was sparta. i cannot even tell you how amazing the concert was...it was incredible. i can't wait to see them again in july...the show had so much energy, they played a fantastic set....!!!!! yay! i have the best boyfriend ever :D
also neat: this was the same show that my friends chris and jody had tickets to, and i'd been pestering them all week, telling them they had to tell me all about the concert and what songs they played, etc...and we actually ended up running into them outside after the concert. we didn't get home until nearly 2 am, but i managed to make it to my 8 am physics class only 5 minutes late, and i'm on my second wind now...we'll see how the rest of the day goes.

this week is screwy. it's wednesday, but it feels like...i don't know. not wednesday. my internal clock is completely off kilter. ah well. it's been a good week so far...on monday i managed to get a few extra points on my physics exam from my professor, and i had lunch w/ mike's uncle elan and cousin adam, who were up from puerto rico checking out colleges for adam. today i think i kicked some butt on my lab animal exam, and now i have to go write a physics lab report...which is okay, since it will be my *last physics lab report ever*. hooray :D and, i caught up with an old friend of mine from high school that i hadn't talked to since graduation...oh, 5 years ago? pretty exciting. mike and i were supposed to go tomorrow to sign the paperwork for my car, but that's getting pushed off until next week. that's okay--~2 months, and it's jeep time once again!
plug: if you need a photographer for anything, call my friend brooke. any of you who know me know that i am *not* a photogenic person, but she managed to get some shots of me that (gasp!) even have my eyes open. check out the turtle and snake shot on her web page--those are my babies (oscar and athena)!

sometomes, blogger, you are wholeheartedly irritating. why, for example, is my right menu being attached to the bottom of my blog? my tables are ended correctly. and regardless, that's not *my* coding, anyway. it's *your* coding, blogger. so why can't you read it and make it do what it says it should be doing? why is half of one of my posts missing? *sigh*. actually, i think i know what the problem is, and i think i may know how to fix it...
*puttering around*
[edited to say: "i fixed it! *yay*!]

mike got tickets to see pearl jam!!!!! we're going to see them at the tweeter center in boston on july 3rd. i cannot even tell you how excited i am about it! AND, we faxed in the order for my jeep to my uncle last week, and we're going down to sign paperwork on thursday. so in about two months, i will have a car. and not just a car. a jeep. a jeep wrangler. *happy dance happy dance happy dance.* i will not marr the happiness of this entry by telling you about how i did not do so well on my physics exam last week. suffice it to say i got my best grade yet. let's leave it at that.

update: after much trekking about campus, the "1-credit" issue has been solved. degree audit wasn't counting 4 pathobiology credits that are required for my animal science degree, so really, i have 3 more credits than i need (not one less). so all is well.
also: for the first time *ever*, i was able to answer ever single question on my physics exam this morning!! although it is highly unlikely that i could have answered all of them correctly, at least i was able to draw some sort of intelligent (i hope) conclusion to each problem. so, *yay* for me. let's just hope that i passed this one...

lovely lisa bought me this kick ass shirt the other day from the co-op. oooh, it makes me want my jeep!
had a lovely weekend--work went by super fast on saturday morning, and by the time i got home, the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining. saturday night = party at lisa's with yummy drinks and lots of new people to meet. sunday, abbie and i gps'd the morning away, then munched on pasta salad; sunday night, we went down to mike's parents' for pizza and ice cream for his mom's birthday. in bed and snoozing by 11 pm. gotta love that. today abbie and i went for a short but enjoyable run, tonight i'm going grocery shopping for lots of good food, and tomorrow is supposed to be 80 degrees. whoo hoo. it's lookin' like a good week so far :)

from today's Onion:
VOLUME 31 ISSUE 16 — 29 APRIL 1997
Ünited Stätes Toughens Image With Umlauts
WASHINGTON, DC—In a move designed to make the United States seem more "bad-assed and scary in a quasi-heavy-metal manner," Congress passed a bill Monday changing the nation's name to the Ünited Stätes of Ämerica. "Much like Mötley Crüe and Motörhead, the Ünited Stätes is not to be messed with," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). An upcoming redesign of the Ämerican flag will feature the new name in burnished silver wrought in a jagged, gothic font and bolted to a black background. A new national anthem is also in the works, to be written by composer Glenn Danzig and tentatively titled "Howl Of The She-Demon."

i am so, so tired today...*yawn*
and don't even get me started on the snow we're supposed to be getting. garrrr. it's spring, for pete's sake! *s-p-r-i-n-g!*. yesterday, the news said that we might get 7-10 inches of snow. now, not only do i not want to drive a car that isn't mine in that, but...it's april 7th! bah. i want warm weather so i can wear flip flops and skirts and drive with my windows rolled down. oh well. soon enough, i guess...

yay! got my lab practical grade for GIS: 96%, and 98% overall lab grade. makes me much happier than physics, that's for sure...other than that, not much news for today. it was cooold today---bah. i'm so looking forward to consistently warm weather. drizzle and threats of sleet make me grumpy. i think i'll go paint my toenails in protest of the crappy weather. don't ask me for rationale, okay? just go with it.
this could, quite possibly, be the best title of a children's book *ever*: "The Day My Butt Went Psycho". those crazy canadians...
"Since his twelfth birthday, two months ago, Zack's butt had made a habit of jumping off his body and running around the streets making a nuisance of itself. Zack was sick of it. So was the local buttcatcher who had already caught and impounded it three times." buahahahaha! i think i need to buy this book...

">the bad news: i completely, utterly, and totally bombed my physics exam. that is all i'm going to say on the matter, so please don't ask for specifics.
the good news: my lab animal science exam went very smoothly, as did my GIS lab practical. i also have a dog to walk in the march of dimes walk-a-thon that's coming up. it's not *my* dog, per se; i had to borrow him. but he's cute and he's a dog and i'm excited.
that's all for now...

i came home today to flowers! and not just any flowers--daffodils and tulips! my favorite. my boy is wonderful.
took a lab animal science test today, fairly certain that i aced it. at least my GPA will be good in all my *other* classes this semester (obviously, physics being the bad-grade culprit). i got stuck in line for 20 minutes at the post office, but that's okay because i finally managed to send out a package that i've been meaning to send out for the past week and a half. also found a cute little bead store right around the corner from my apartment, and bought a few beads there to make what i hope will be a positively lurvely necklace. the clerk there was so helpful, too--what a great little store! and on top of everything else, i managed to get my assigned section of campus scoped out today for the emergency phones that i need to GPS. shouldn't be too bad of an assignment, especially since i have abbie, who's willing to be hoisted on top of bus-stop roofs to get accurate satellite readings for me ;)
today was a definate 10. it's about damn time, too :)

one more physics exam down the tubes...
actually, in a funny way, i'm kind of happy with how i did. i don't think i completed enough of the exam to actually *pass* it, but i was able to work out answers for some of the more complicated problems, and i feel pretty good about that. i feel like it was an improvement, at least. now all i need to do is ace the next three ;)
tonight we're going to a party at jen's, which should be fun b/c we hardly ever see her. tomorrow, we're going to the chowder pot in branford with jim for an early birthday celebration, and sunday (hopefully) will be GIS day: abbie, kim, and i are going to try to take over the computer lab and get as many GIS assignments as possible done in advance. so it should be a fun weekend. i'm feeling pretty sleep deprived lately, but i hate to spend my weekends going to bed early when i have the opportunity to see people that i almost never get to see. i *live* with mike, and i hardly ever even see him. i'm looking forward to the day that that changes, when i can have a "normal" schedule...which, if i get into grad school, will be at least another two years from now.
now, i need to go figure out the questions i got wrong on my exam...wish me luck :/
