I never realized how much my grades have been suffering these past few weeks until today. I had a long talk with my program advisor, and I came to realize how less the amount of time I have been spending on studying and doing homework.

I wake up at 4 in the morning just to get ready for work and be at work by 6. I don’t get off until 2 in the afternoon, sometimes 4. I go straight to school because class begins at 5:40. My last class ends at 9:50. I get home by 10:30. Try to squeeze in at least an hour of studying before falling asleep… Then my day starts over again. That’s what my day consists of during the week, though.

I can’t just study on the weekends because I don’t retain anything in just one sitting.

Sad part is that my work doesn’t understand that. So, I’m putting in my two weeks. Keeping my job there is not worth jeopardizing my education.

If it means for me to be unemployed for the remainder of my academic career, then so be it. At least then I’ll know that when I get that diploma, I’ll be making $20/hr more than what I’m making now.

I haven’t done one of these in a long time, so tonight will be the night! I’m going to get all dolled up and score some free drinks with drunken guy friends. Just kidding. Although it would be nice to be complimented with a drink or two.

Tomorrow night, I may be going out again. We will see.

Just so you know, I have ALL of my homework done. So I earned a weekend of fun. LOL.

I hope I don’t get to a point where I wind up emotional. Oh, that would be horrible! I wonder if the boytoy will be out, too… I haven’t seen him in awhile. Kinda miss him, too.

Just reading J.’s blogs about her chinchillas makes me wanna save more money and get some of my own! They’re so adorable. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my froggies! But I want more pets. *sigh*

Anyway, I’ve noticed a lot of friends (both on and off-line) been having problems, so here is a quote for all of you:

“Carrying your negative [emotional baggage] requires energy that could be put to much better use - say goodbye to it, let it go, and get on with your life.”

- Lucy MacDonald

So all those ex-boyfriends, ex-(best)friends, or just unnecessary people in your life: just drop them. You’ll be grateful that you did later down the road.

Massive Monkees presents “2OH6Step (Pt2): Souled Out!”

I got the opportunity to design the graphics for the DVD, as well as the slipcover and label. It took us (the editor and I) over a year to finalize everything. It was a headache, but at the same time fun. I’m wanting to get more into this type of designing.

Right now, I’m waiting for my copy. I didn’t get a chance to view the finalized version before being sent to prints/manufacturing. Those who have seen it are already complimenting on my work. Ugh, I want to watch it now!! LOL. Patience is a virtue.
