Titles

How do daily bloggers come up with the titles for their posts? I have no idea, I usually just wing it. :P

Had several happy moments and several upsets today.

On the positive side: the scrap metal we had sitting in our driveway was picked up today. Yay The processor that Dwayne ordered for my computer came in. It was a triple core AMD one, and it wasn't expensive at all. It was gonna replace the processor in my trusty Wal-Mart special that I bought like 5 or 6 years ago. It's still going strong, with like no problems at all. "Knock on wood."

On the negative side: My mother board will not support the new processor, it won't even support Dwayne's, and his is only a dual core. Which means I will not get to play Star Wars on my computer this weekend while Dwayne plays on his. I also can't work for god knows how long because I wrenched my back last week. My bones are all in the right places but the doctor on call in the emergency room said it could be a slipped disk, pinched nerve, or plain old pulled muscles. Who knows. What I do know is that I have trouble walking, can't sit for long periods of time, and can't make any sudden moves that involve the waist. Which is like everything!

It's almost time for me to go to sleep cause I have to be at school tomorrow morning before 8:30 to write a math test that I missed last week. Wish me luck.

Tequila

So I went back to school today after a week off. I wrenched my back muscles last week and was having a lot of trouble moving around. I got into class and one of my classmates is a nurse and what she recommends as a muscle relaxant/pain reliever is a shot of Tequila or two. :)

I like that, however as I am an alcoholic drinking just isn't in the cards. Even if it is therapeutic. Oh boy do I wish it was. Normally I have some control over my urges to drink when Dwayne and I go out. I now have a 1 drink rule and it has to be in a mug. And definitely no beer what so ever. Ever.

Why, you say. Well there was a time when I would start the day with a beer and just keep going and going. Maybe sometime during the day I would have something to eat and then again most days I didn't eat at all. All I did was drink beer, coffee and smoke. I didn't really like myself during that time. Not going to repeat that time again, so no drinking for me.

As for my classes I have to write my word processing midterm tomorrow and financial math test on Thursday morning. Most of the others I'm pretty much caught up on. So we'll see how well I did. :)

Star Wars

So they, meaning BioWare, lifted the ban on talking about it's new mmo Star Wars The Old Republic. Yay I can talk about it!!!!! Now in my years of playing mmo's I've tried quite a few. EQ2 Guild Wars, Age of Conan, and Rift just recently. That's just on the computer, for the 360 I've tried Dragon Age and Tales of Symphonia for the Game Cube. And I gotta tell ya not liking what was out there. It all just made me like my crack even more. :)

However I got into the main beta testing for SW-TOR about a month ago and I COULDN'T tell anyone anything about the game, except to buy it when it came out. Now from what people are saying about it now they may not like it and it may not replace their one true game crack.

I thought I wouldn't like the way it gave you options on how the conversations go and how your character interacts with other players and npcs. But I find that I do like it. I even like pvp, and if you know anything about me at all you'll know I HATE pvp and always try to get Dwayne to do it for me. Not that he does, but I try. :)

I play a Sith Inquistor cause you know I like doing damage from a distance. And I like the option for healing as well. Well she does both. But what really sold me on her was that I could be a total and complete snotty sarcastic bitch. Who kills just cause she felt like it. I also have this side kick who wants to kill me at times, but he can't cause i kicked his ass and now he has to obey my every command. Yes I love it.

So I hope that you do at least try the game and if it's not for you then that's OK. I'm not gonna bash you about it. I'm still gonna play my Warcraft cause I love that game to. Hey I can love two games. :)

Crappy

So I'm feeling crappy and lousy. I had a massive headache last week that made me miss a couple of classes. I had to sleep and that was hard with the construction crew still working on the basement. :( and :)

The basement is almost done, hopefully the dust will stop flying thru the air and clogging up my sinus's. A stuffed nose is not fun at all, especially as it is getting colder and cold season is starting. One of the downsides of the construction at my house is that it looks funny without a front porch.
And smaller to boot. We are gonna be putting a porch back on and it should be insulated so maybe it will be useable year round, and not as a spare freezer in the winter. :)

My classes at school are going fine and I''m finding that math really is useful in everyday life. However not everything I'm learning looks like it's gonna be useful. Oh well maybe I'll find a use for it, somewhere, in a far off galaxy in the far distant future.

One thing I'm not finding crappy is my beta testing for BioWare and since I can't really talk about it all I'm gonna say is " Buy this game. NOW NOW NOW"

Exam's

Well exam;s are over and I got most of my marks back and ........... I passed them all with an A average. Even in a subject I thought I bombed on. Organizational Behaviour, a really dry and boring subject dealing on touchy feely emotions and mostly crap like that. I have to say tho that it does seem like I did learn something in the first two months of the class. Now I just got to get thru the next two months and the final exam. Crosses fingers. :)

My accounting is getting harder and for some reason it seems like I'm not having that much trouble understanding it. Some of it is actually starting to make sense, lol

Tomorrow I start Word Processing and Financial Math and not too sure what I'm gonna think of those. Oh well it's time for me to go to bed and hopefully get some more sleep tonight than I did last night.

Some Peoples Children

This past week has been just crappy. Awhile ago our house was broken into by one of my daughter's friends. It was bad enough that she broke into our house, but she had to lie about it. I told her mother and all she cared about was something that was completely unrelated. How pathetic is that? Someone accuses your daughter of B&E and theft and you focus on something completely different.

I'm reluctant to go to the police as it means my daughter will have to give a statement and if it goes to court she'll have to testify. I feel that she's been traumatized enough. I don't want her going thru that. The kid is just going to ignore the little thing she used to call a friend. Hopefully the little thing will leave her alone, and hopefully grow up. But you and I both know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

The only thing I can hope for as a parent is that I teach my kids to respect other peoples property, to not turn the blame on anyone else and to own up to their own mistakes and wrongdoings. No matter how much I may gripe and complain about my kids I love them dearly and only want to protect them. Some times it means protecting them from themselves and even if they don't want protecting you just gotta do it.

That's my rant for this post:

School

Well I've started my Business Administration course at ACC last week and already we have homework and projects due. Oh boy!

One of them isn't so bad, a 500 word paper on what Organizational Business is and how it will affect me in the next 5 years, as well as giving 3 trends and what their impact will be. That one's not so hard and I have a week to do it.

The one that is worrying me is for my Canadian Business class. Everyone in class had to come with a business idea and argue for it in their group. Well I came up with a good one and didn't have to argue very hard for it at all.

Now you may ask what kind of idea is so great that it doesn't need to be sold to other people. That they like it when you just mention what kind of business it is?

Are you ready?
Really ready?

Wait for it.

A teen social/night club.

I mean how cool is that. A place specifically for kids 13 to 17 years old.Where we live there is no place for teens to hang out in the evening. Unless you count 711. So most of the teens in town wander the streets in groups getting into trouble and such. This place would have like a games area with pool and arcade video games. A dance floor with music, and a restaurant like area with a limited kitchen menu.

I'm not going to go into more detail here. Who knows someone may decide they want my idea. :P

I'll give more updates on school and such as I stop being such a slacker.
