1:25 pm - I hate it so much here
|
It is no secret that I hate it here. That I would like to come home. It's not as easy as that because I have started and education program that will allow me to be more financially stable when I do get back to the bay area. As we all know, living there is not easy without a good income.
Anyway, I digress.
Memphis once had a mayor named Willie Herenton. He was not a good mayor. The proof is in the pudding. The educational system is really bad. I can tell because most of my classmates in my english class had a really hard time not only speaking correct english but also reading it. (He was also superintendent of schools for 12 years) There is classicism, racism, environmental racism and economic depression. Downtown here looks like a warzone in some places. Crime is INSANE. I will not walk on the street here by myself even during the day. (There happens to be a serial rapist who has raped 4 women in this area. And the soda that got thrown at me the other day is a deterrent also.) While I'm not blaming all of this on him, I am saying that it has gotten worse. Everyone I know hates him. There were parties in the streets when he recently resigned.
When he resigned it was decided that there had to be a special election. There was also a city council member named Myron Lowry who was to be mayor pro tem until the election. As a Californian I am distinctly aware how much time an resources are required to hold a special election. And how much craziness insues because of them. Herenton has said twice before that he intends to resign and the doesn't. This is just one more of those times.
He announced today that he intends to run in the special election that his resignation created.
And to this I say...
What an ass.
current mood:  aggravated

I just saw The Proposal. I went with trepidation but it ended up being the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. We arrived and everyone in the theatre was a female of at least 50 years of age. That's a good crowd to see a chick flick with.
It was a highly improbable run to the airport to tell you I love you at the last minute kind of movie, but it was just fun. I recommend it.
I never dropped my biology course and I got a solid B. I'm pleased with my grades for this last semester. More pleased that I survived without a self destructive urge.

I've developed a sincere dislike for anything myspace, facebook, twitter and the like. The only consistent thing I've used is livejournal.And I'm okay with that.
I'm sitting in class right now. Blah. Fig newtons are good.
I'm going to drop my biology course. It's too much with a teacher that can't teach worth beans. I can't teach myself an entire science. Not right now anyway. I study my ass off and I still can't get any higher than a C on all of my tests and I think that's pathetic. Every other class I'm taking I'm acing. What does that say?
That is all.

So, I'm taking 16 units and all of my classes are condensed into five weeks for the summer semester. Why do I do this to myself? Oh yeah, because I'm an overachieving dumbass. But, I figure I can do anything for five weeks. Please, watch me destroy myself.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm at school from 7.30am until 10pm.
The rest of the time I do homework.
I think I might start asking Jesus for help. Or Kuan Yin. Or somebody.

We went to see Star Trek today. (Which was so damn good) We bought a ticket and walked in but there was no one to take our ticket. Then we realized that EVERY person who works in the theater was playing games in the arcade. Why the fuck did we even buy a ticket? I mean, that's redonculous. But, then again, that is so Memphis.

Just was invited to go see startrek today. I'm sort of meh about it. I want to see the movie but am not in the mood to deal with people and their germs and issues. So, I'm going to stay home, get high and play wii instead. Startrek will be there when I'm ready for it.

Starbucks has this image they have tried to create in order for the general public to believe they are the pinnacle of an ethical corporate entity. This is bullshit. They are just as sexist as Wal-Mart.

I was saying today that I have turned into such a lazy person and that I felt bad about it. Annie, in her matter-of-fact way let me know that I wasn't lazy, I'm just depressed.
I think she's right.
All the signs are there. I've been more and more progressively been feeling like shit about myself for no reason. I've been totally withdrawn. All I want to do is eat, watch tv and sleep. I have no interest in doing the things that I normally do. My routine is completely fucked.
So I've been bribed into seeing the shrink.
Damn. I thought I could avoid this.
current mood:  disappointed

I went to the dentist and she gave me an rx for antibiotics, a flouride treatment and an antiseptic mouthwash that tastes like ass. I can't believe how sick this tooth is making me. I hope it falls out.
And I have to go to work today.
Bitch
Complain
Bitch
Blah
On a lighter note, (heh) I've lost 15lbs. And no, it's not because I can't eat.

I faught my way through a migraine from hell today. I took way too much excedrine but it was the only way I was going to survive.
Here's the story.
I have an infected tooth that has inflamed my optic nerve. I'm going to have oral surgery soon. This is terrifying to me.
The migraine-like pain is my bodies way of saying, "No way sister, you're not backing out of this. You ARE going to the dentist tomorrow. You WILL go through with this. You made a deep commitment to take care of yourself and you're not going to wimp out on me."
I really want to wimp out.

My work holliday party is tonight. It's late in season, I know but the hollidays are the busiest time for us. Unfortunately I can't go because I caught Annie's stomach bug. I'm bummed out because one of my friends from work will be leaving us. She's moving to Florida and I wanted to say goodbye to her.
Such is life.
current mood:  bummed
