real quick

It's almost one a.m. and I'm nearing insanity because of how long I'm staying up to work on my blog. I do have to say though, I finished much more quickly than the last times I've changed things up. Maybe I'm finally getting better at it. There are quite a few things I have to blog about, but they will have to wait until tomorrow because I need to sleep now. Stay tuned for more exciting news tomorrow. That's all.

*scratch that. No time to blog today. Probably not tomorrow either. So...just wait for it

school days

RateMyProfessors.com failed me. Big time.
.
I've always had amazing classes when I used this trusty website, but it seems my luck is gone.
.
The two classes I was was looking forward to the most because I thought the teachers were going to be the best (math & philosophy of sound reasoning) are now my least favorite. The teachers are BEYOND annoying. In class I honestly had to stop myself from yelling SHUT UP to my philosophy teacher, it was like a reflex. Her voice is SO annoying & she basically yells the whole time she talks. I like what she's teaching but her voice is going to kill me. As for my math teacher, well for one he has an accent (but then again what asu math professor doesn't) and another, he has like 20 quirks that irritate me. He paces back & forth as fast as he can when he teaches & he keeps a tissue in his pocket that he uses to periodically blow his nose with. Maybe it's just me but that grosses me out. Also, he explains super easy things (like how to plot a point on a graph) in way too much detail, so then I zone out and am not paying attention when he teaches things I actually need to know.
.
Then there's the class (accounting) I was afraid for because the reviews made the professor seem like that one from Legally Blonde (you know, the one where she made her look stupid for not knowing the answer). That's actually my favorite class. She's so nice & I love what we're learning. It's going to be tough but I actually like that part about it because it's going to make me step up & work hard.
.
So, the moral of the story: ratemyprofessors is lame. School is kind of lame and I love having Tuesdays & Thursdays off, even though it messes with my brain.
.
Oh ya, I start dance on Wednesday & I can't wait. I didn't use ratemyprofessors for that so hopefully it'll be good!

All good things come to an end

Today is officially my last day of Christmas break.
From here on out it's just the normal weekend & then it's back to school on Monday. I'm not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand I'm semi-excited to find out what my classes are like & get closer to being done, but on the other hand I've LOVED the month off. It'll be good for me to get back into more productive things though so that's good. I just hope this semester won't finish me off!

.

Here are the classes I'm taking:

ACC 230-Accounting

MAT 211-Calculus II for business majors

PHI 103-Principles of sound reasoning

SOC 101-Sociology

DAN 130-Jazz dance taken at CGCC (I'm waaay excited for this)

.

Thanks to good old ratemyprofessors.com I was able to pick the best teachers I could & the only class I'm scared for is my accounting one cuz the teacher is apparently beastly. I'm sure it'll work out in the end. Go Devils.

Shut up and drive

I've been driving a lot lately, to places like Flagstaff, Peoria & Glendale, so I've had lots of time to think & I've come to many realizations about driving & drivers. Here's what I've discovered:

.

I have really weak butt muscles. You might not think this applies to driving, but oh yes it does. After driving for a few hours I cramp up sooo badly from pushing the pedal. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but either way it's not fun.

.

There are way too many rude & impatient drivers in the world. When I'm already going 10 miles over the speed limit it is NOT ok to tail me as close as you can and flash your lights at me when there's plenty of room in the next lane to pass me. It makes driving really stressful because then I have to worry about going fast enough without speeding too much so I don't get a ticket, & if I'm on a two lane highway I have to worry about going in the right lane so they can pass but then go back to the left because the right lane is too slow, only to have some other rude person get behind me. Stupid people.

.

Driving past 10:00 at night is heaven for me. When it's late at night & there's a good song on the radio & I'm driving fast on an open freeway that winds around, it's magic. I look forward to driving home from certain places when it's late because I know I'll be able to have these moments. It makes me feel motivated & love life for some reason. Plus it makes me reflect on life. It's weird but I love it.

.

I'm kind of a distracted driver. I'm an observer & I've always enjoyed looking out at the things that we drive past during car rides, & that hasn't changed now that I'm the one driving. Tempe Marketplace at night is a car accident waiting to happen. Have you seen it from the 202?? It's like an eye magnet & I swear I'm gonna get into a fender bender from looking at it. Also, when I'm driving where all of the overpasses are I just can't help but look out over the city & the windy overpasses below me. I really don't know how I haven't had an accident yet because of this. Hmm.

.

I'm really grateful that my car gets good gas mileage. Because as it is I want to cry at how fast the little needle has been going down.

.

I don't mind driving, but I get really impatient when driving long distances. I get sick of things easily so if I'm not where I want to be in at least a half an hour then I get annoyed. Good thing I'm not a truck driver.

.

I wish I could blog while I drove because that's when I think of all of the things I want to say. Unfortunately it almost all goes away as soon as I'm done driving so you're stuck with these pointless blogs. Oh well. With technology going the way it is I'm sure I'll be able to do that pretty soon anyway!

.
That's all.
.
Goodbye.

(I've americanized my farewells so for now the adios is adios)
