I am bored, so I decided to change the header (from what I changed it to mere days ago, Dean from SPN with the colt's words on it) to Twilight. I am in a very Twilight mood lately, srsly, am a ridiculous 12 year old, fans self, girl. *shakes head in shame*

Anyway, was wondering how people change the colors in their gmail window? I know it can be done it yahoo, and I was wondering if it can be done in gmail....

am also in a pink mood as well. Very pathetic.



</dork>

So, yeah. Just got out of my Psych class. Got a good grade on my paper. Funny thing, he was like "I only gave 1-9's on this assignment, even though it was out of 10. I just wasn't feeling too generous." I got a 9 and 1/2. Oh yeah. I really think I am going to get an A in this class. I am really excited. It's weird how the farther along I get, the better I do in school. It's how it always works out.

Anyway, we decided to do the Internet recruiting for cults as our research topic. Thank MERLIN this is only hypothetical. We decided we would run an ad in newspapers across, (where ever we find the most cults... there is a better name for that, I just can't remember it. I'll just say groups). for example, the midwest. Then we ask if they would like to complete a survey, send them it, and add up how many were recruited from the internet and see if that has been a big change over the years. Yeah, it's kinda cool.

So then we got off topic and Manaal, a girl in our group said that Facebook was like a cult. They check it at least 6-7 times a day. Me? Maybe twice a week. They were shocked. So apparently, I am "getting the shit poked out of me" later. Waiting for the emails....

Then the guy in our group asked me if I would participate in his study for his other class, and I did, I am sympathetic to all who have to do that. Recruiting is HARD. Turns out, it was a racism test. One of those that I learned about in class. You go here and It is one of those computer things that test how fast you answered things. CRAZY, and I was a little excited that I got to do it. I've heard about it for so long, that it was nice to actually DO it, so I understand how hard it was. I KNEW what he was testing, and I still got a preference for white people.

I don't think you can cheat that system. not unless you timed all your answers.

So we are meeting Sunday before the shift I picked up at the library. Convenient, because we are meeting there, and I work there. :) I think that teachers who want to have group projects should have a minimum of 3 weeks before the paper is due to assign group things. It is hard to work around 5 people's schedules. There is a girl in my group that is so nervous when speaking, she literally said UMM 206 times in her last speech. And that was only after my friend Julie started counting. Probably not the entire time. Poor girl. She hardly talks ever. And when she does, it is stuff that I have to shoot down. Like, recruiting people through the internet for our study. Ummm, that is biased. Especially when we are looking for  how many people are recruited through the internet. All we would get would be that result. And she made the suggestion to make a fake website and recruit people to a fake cult. Seriously? Has no one explained the idea of ethics to you?

I was so tired yesterday, I put my shirt on inside out, and didn't realize it until I got to work. hehe  

Has anyone figured out that email thing from Caliga? I got a few saying Pansy posted yesterday, but other than that, nothing. Help?


Dylan comes home around the end of May. Yay!!!!


Look at the mood theme. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. Love that episode.

EDIT: WHAT THE CRAP!   How does that happen? How does it work? Can she see out of all eyes? Eat out of all mouths?

So, no one has taken the shifts for my washington trip. Yikes, getting a little worried. I know it's still far enough away, but still. So, I took advantage of the group email someone compiled and sent everyone I work with an email. hehe. It was kinda funny since I just woke up and am in that goofy mood.

These shifts are not for a while, but I figured I would get this out of the way,

Friday May 2 Library W 2:50- 7:45 -Really easy, almost everyone goes to the E booth anyway (sorry Nathan S).

Monday May 5 Hospital Ramp 2 AUX 2-6:15 - No one sees this booth. Seriously, easy shift.   


Either email me back, or put it in the books. Thanks!

I guess the only funny part is the sorry part to Nathan. He is going to get that email too.

So I am off to class without 2/3 of my research done. I ran out of paper, and only got one article printed. BUT, I did come up with a good idea. So we decided to focus on cults, you know like the moonies and People's Temple, Heaven's Gate. Stuff like Living for Zion(Polygamist thing, kinda the same, the way they treat their members). So while researching, a lot of stuff is protected so I couldn't see it. I did find two articles that were part of a book that I couldn't print, but one was titled 'Recruiting on the Internet" So I think that is pretty interesting. I'd never thought of it before. That is actually kinda brilliant. If you can get online dating, and children to meet older men that say they are JTT, then you can do this. So, I am going to present that to them, and see what they think.

It's kinda like last semester, where we ran the experiment, except this semester we are just going to plan it, and write the paper as if we had run it. So, pretty much everything without the annoying testing, getting recruits, and STUPID SSPS. I HATE that program above all things.

Plus 2 of the girls I volunteer with are in my group. So, while watching Autistic kids we can talk about cults. hehe

Well, That is all I think. I need to go get ready for school, especially if I don't want Hermione hair like I've been sporting for the last couple weeks.

Just got an email from Old Navy saying that it is Road Trip time. How did they know?

So, I just got back from class. Had to write paper yesterday, and it was REALLY hard. How to stretch a page and half story into 3? Dialogue! (btw. Had to ask Vicky how to say that in English last night. Could only think dialogo. Progress!) Then I went to my second class today and we had to write something there. Can I just say how tired I am of coming up with stories? It sucks. I had to expand on a short story, change the ending. Let's just say mine sucked. ::nods:: Wednesday we get to read them aloud. Oh joy...

I work in a couple hours... going to watch Alias until then. Think I may start over. Around this time of year I get an Alias jones(? Right term? Whatever... I am using it) and need to watch it. Then I move onto SFU. It's a cycle. Then I watch my other shows over again.

Yes, I know. So interesting. Will be available tonight for scenage if anyone is interested. I get off work after 6, so around 6:45 I *should* be ready. I add in time for dinner and other such nonsense.

So, I haven't gotten any emails of the posts made to Caliga in the last couple days. I ALWAYS get them.,. what the hell is wrong?

Watched Evening with Patrick Wilson and Claire Danes. Good, just wish it would have ended with more of ... something. Think I will have to read the book, as you know they cut shit out. Also going to read Atonement. I am making a list(anyone got any suggestions?). I am going to get bored FAST without school. I have had summer classes for as long as I can remember... never a free summer.

I plan on volunteering at different places as well, trying to get a feel for what I want to specialize in. Autistic kids is not it. It is fun and interesting, but I couldn't do it for the rest of my life.

Speaking of Evening, does anyone have the Michael Buble song "I've got the World on a String"? It was in there and now I want it. Hugs if you do.


::sigh:: Am going to take a shower now as I have gotten quite bored. I had planned on sleeping later, only til about 10 or so, but I woke up at 8 as usual. Except this time WITHOUT my alarm. Stupid.

I was gonna try and make it work. Not be angry about it. Failed.

Why ON EARTH would the University decide to change the email system IN THE MIDDLE of the DAMN SEMESTER!!!!!!! 1. It doesnt have the ability to create folders(that I can see) so now everything that I've forwarded from my old email (yes I had to forward EVERY thing I've saved) is in my inbox.  2. It didn't forward my address book, so I have to do that myself. 3. It's outlook express. If I WANTED outlook fucking express- I would have had it long ago. 4. Now I have to memorize  the new URL. 5. It's stupid. STUPID. I ask again, why in the middle of the semester??

Moving on to my second argument of the night:

I emailed my teacher last week about a supposed email he sent out about a paper thats due on the 15th. He said he never sent an email so the girl in our class who told me about it was wrong. Then, not a week later, he sends out a email reminding everyone of the paper assignment on the class website that he emailed us all about before. 

Do I need to explain what pisses me off?!? 
*headdesk*

I give up. I am dropping out; fuck you university of Iowa. ::gives finger to Robert Baron::

::sigh:: Ok, that was a bit dramatic, but I'm tired, and annoyed at my new email.

for tomorrow: how I got ripped off by netflix. (well not exactly by them, by someone else I heard about through them) ::shakes head:: crappy day.
