So I'm getting a little frustrated with how much ink I have used in a semester and a half. I'm once again almost out of black ink which isn't good because I have a research paper due tomorrow plus two stories that I need to print out for my writing class. No, they aren't my stories but the people whose stories they are didn't print them out but rather emailed them to us so now I have to use my own ink to print them, 20 pages total! Um that is not cool people! Why did I have to spend 16 dollars printing out my last story so that there would be enough copies but they aren't printing out their own and letting the costs fall to each of their classmates?
Other than that frustration life has been upside down for me. I don't think I have been talking about it, but lately I have just been completely messed up physically. I've been having migranes or just severe headaches that keep me up and no matter what I take wont go away. Because of them my sleep has been totally messed up. I basically have been sleeping every other day. With the lack of sleep and then extreme sleep my eating habits have been off and so I'm not eating enough which is just making me weaker and more tired and it's basically a vicious cycle that I can't get away from.
Tonight I have to write an entire 10 page paper for my Egyptian art and architecture class but luckily I have a ton of notes and feel really good about it. It acually may be a little short but it's just a first draft that is due so that isn't too big of a deal, plus even if I killed it she would probably want more added to it so it's not a big deal to me to not produce something perfect. That being said though, there's still a great chance I wont get it done in time to get to bed at a decent hour, and even if I did I probably wouldn't be able to sleep so just shoot me.
On Friday I basically have to do a ton of research and write a paper for my Chaucer class, as well as do the reading for this week and the tests for this week and the weeks I just never did. This weekend I also need to read the articles that I found for my biology project and write up the report. My partner has done nothing for it other than say that I'm awesome for having done the research. This is why I hate research projects that you have to work on with other people! Someone always gets stuck doing most of the work and honestly I really don't have the time to do so much for a one credit class! Oh and at some point I need to study for that field test in English because somehow April just came out of nowhere and now the exam I have to pass in order to graduate is in a week and I haven't even begun to study for it! Just shoot me!

The Third Time is NOT the Charm!!!!
So I'm doing my Chaucer homework (it's 8:45 now, this is due at 11:55, so not tooooo bad on the procrastinating right?) and it's on the general prologue of the Canterbury Tales. This happens to be the THIRD time I've read the general prologue for an Ole Miss class and let me tell you, it SUCKS. Like not that Chaucer sucks because, hello, he's the father of English Literature, I just mean reading it again sucks. I wish I could just skip it but I have to reread it and take notes and then take a ccrq on in (that's crazy close reading quiz in case you had no idea, and if you had no idea that means you are either really lucky that you're teachers weren't so strict on your reading habits or you just really didn't have that great of an education, I'm not quite sure).
So this is going to be a totally fun blog because I'm going to walk you through my homework tonight. Basically I have to respond to comments from my classmates online and so far that many people haven't posted a topic. I responded to posts on the introduction to the Friar already and now I'm going to read on until I get to another person someone has analyzed on the discussion board. BTW if you were wondering, I wrote mine on the Knight and his Squire. So far nobody has felt the need to say anything about it. I kind of think that Steven will comment seeing as he usually comments my posts, as well as Patsy because even though we don't know each other there is bad blood between us, but that's a post for another time, well maybe just after I finish this homework, I'm not sure. But yeah, after every post I post on there I'll update you on how my night is going. So let's do this- 8:53 pm
9:03:So I lost my pen but not really, it was just hidden near my notebook. I read a line and it made me wonder if Chaucer came up with the idea about that phrase about getting off your high horse so I called my dad and asked him if he knew if that was the origin. He googled it, which I guess I could have done but I was being lazy, apparently it was just an idea that was around in the middle ages, but he was really annoying me because he was calling Chaucer "Chowser" or something like that, I really can't stand when people pronounce things wrong, unless they are pronouncing it the way I say it then it's okay, which is totally like hypocritical or whatever but at least I can admit to that right.
9:22: So I read the intro to the Merchant (as mentioned above) but no comments on it so I moved on to the Clerk from Oxford's paragraph. It was short and there was a post on the discussion board so I popped on to see what it said. Basically it was Hannah just repeating what Chaucer wrote. Ummm people, this is a discussion board, use your brain and come up with and idea about what Chaucer wrote, not a summary! So that's annoying, like do the homework right already! I also commented on a new post that someone put up about the Knight, telling them, good job regurgitating Chaucer but what do you think he was saying. I shudder to think this is a 400 level class and people are this oblivious or just lazy! So, back to the Clerk post, well freaking Patsy commented on it, what a shock, she turned it into something about God that has nothing to do with anything to do with Chaucer. I don't care if this is the Bible Belt, don't make up references to God that don't exist. Basically this is what she posted, "Hi, Hannah. While I was reading about the Clerk, I was reminded how we can have a "head' knowledge of God without having Him in our heart" The intro about the Clerk is that he's basically a guy who spends all his money on books and learning (aka any college student in the world right now from what I can tell!). The only mention of a religious tone is when he says the Clerk prays for the souls of people who help him out financially. Please someone explain to me as to how that has anything to do with the Clerk having God in his heart (that is of course me assuming Patsy was even thinking about reading it into the character, I seriously wouldn't be surprised though if she accidentally read the bible and was commenting on it, she's not the brightest crayon in the box). I now promise you that she will either ignore the question I asked her about expanding what she said and making it make sense or she'll come back with one of her famous ignorant attempts at a jab and just prove over and over that she has no idea what she is talking about. Okay, 9:33 and back to my homework.
10:20: Okay so I read six more intros with three people having posted on the last, concerning the Wife of Bath. Luckily it seems that people actually understand this character and there weren't any really stupid comments, so yeah that was exciting. I also commented back on someone who posted about the nun, which I read earlier. She got EVERYTHING wrong and I feel kind of bad correcting her but honestly how is she going to learn if nobody says anything to her? Like she said that she didn't understand why the nun wasn't wearing her rosary on her neck...umm that's because it isn't jewelery darling! I hate when people wear their rosary as if it were, it's a holy object not a fashion accessory! Scapulas go on the necks to protect you, not rosary. End of story. Okay, so time is quickly going by, better get back to the g.p 10:25.
10:51: So I only read the next two and only commented on one of the two posts. You aren't going to believe this, but Patsy actually found a way to follow the assignment and intigrate the Bible in her post in a way that was totally academic! I feel like a proud mother who just saw her kid learn how to write her own name or something! It almost makes up for the comment that annoyed me earlier in the night. Sadly though, since Patsy decided to use her brain Hannah decided it was time to do a shout out to God with her reply, "The ploughman is also a great example of what we should be doing as believers. Planting seeds and preaching the Gospel. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." (Matthew 9:37)" Dear Hannah- this isn't a religious class, it's ENGLISH 405, not everyone would agree with your interpretation of what God wants people to do, let alone if there even is a God! Seriously, even if I said that to her she wouldn't listen, her and Patsy are basically lost causes I think (even though I'm happy about Patsy's post I know it really doesn't mean she's changed her ways). Oh and I totally took longer to get to writing this because the dogs wanted out but of course it's raining outside so I have to wipe them off when they get in. I have to say my golden Rufus is just a precious little sweetheart. He knows that when he comes inside and is wet he has to sit on his towel and wait for me to wipe his paws off. Thank God because honestly wrestling a wet/muddy 80lb dog is never my idea of a good time! Okay, less than an hour left till the window closes. Technically I've responded enough to be done but I'm an overachiever, that's why I have a 100% in the class right now while others are holding on by the skin of their teeth. 10:59
11:36: Well I'm all done, thank God! That only took forever! Thanks for coming along the ride with me. Now I can't leave you totally on that note, I have to let you know what happened with Patsy. Remember earlier when I said I was highly doubtful she'd answer my questions for her, well get this, she replied and HOLD THE PRESSES!!! Apparently asking questions means that you don't understand something AND apparently I've changed my name- "It's evident that you didn't understand what I was saying, Kristen." Like I said earlier, but later than the first earlier, I knew there was really no hope for her. I hope she fails the class.

Trying to stay on top of it
So let's just talk about how big of a procrastinator I am! I have about a zillion things to do and just no desire to do them and keep finding ways to avoid them. This is a detailed list of what I need to do and how I need to do it. Keep in mind, writing this post is just another way to avoid responsibility and is proving to be a very effective means of doing so.
1)Clean my house- I have two guys coming at some point this weekend to check out the house and see if they want to lease it from me and Mike (basically they want the 14 month lease which means that they would take over the two months of my lease that I wont be here for and keep the place until August of next year). I really need to get someone to move in here June because I can't afford this place and another rent in NYC and I have to move in June because that's when Heather needs a place to stay. So a clean house that presents well is super important to me right now. I heard from these guys that they wanted to look at the house on Wednesday for this weekend. I didn't clean up because I was sorta doing hw/studying and sorta watching tv and completely feeling like death from these severe headaches/maybe migraines? that I have been having for a couple of weeks now (nothing makes them go away, it's miserable!). I have class all day on and off Thursday but I was so tired from not sleeping Wednesday night that I went to bed at like 10 yesterday and slept forEVER. Once I got up this afternoon the guys gave me a time to come by but unfortunately it was at the same time as George's vet apt and so I couldn't agree (plus the house is a disaster!). So once I got home from that I paid some bills talked to my parents on the phone. Talked to Josh because he's coming to town right now and then sat down to do this. I have a list all made out of what to do but I haven't done anything on it but clean the guest closet and I didn't really clean it I just moved things around so it looked more organized. So after this I really do need to get up and get that done asap because if the guys want to come over tomorrow the house has to be ready for that.
2)I need to go to two reading for my Eng 424 class- I've been to one already but two more are required as part of my participation grade or something for class. This weekend is the Oxford conference for the book so I have a bunch of chances to get those two readings in and then I wont have to worry about more for the rest of the semester but I missed the one at four I was going to go to and if i get too into cleaning I wont make the 8pm one which only leaves tomorrow and that's when Josh wants to hang out so I wouldn't make him go to two of them so we'll see what happens with that.
3)I have to research for my biology project and my Chaucer essay. With the other major things going on these just don't seem as important. I think I'll forget about them until Sunday.
4)I need to work on my first draft of my paper on Isis and finish reading the two books I never finished. I find it all very interesting but it just seems like watching tv or messing around on the internet are so much more exciting. The paper is supposed to be ten pages long and it's due on Thursday (I think) so I really do need to get to it!
5)I need to do my Chaucer homework. It's due at 11:55 Saturday night and I haven't even read the stuff for it yet. I actually haven't even taken the quiz from last week but whatever I'll get to that eventually. I think this will all be pushed back to sunday as well, the house and the readings should be my top priority right now!
6)I need to work on my resume and search for apartments and jobs in NYC. School ends for me May 28th, though commencement it May 14th (I have one class short that I need to make up because they aren't accepting my fine arts credit from UNLV-what a shock right ha). I move out there June 1st (as I stated above) and really need to get everything together for that!
7)At some point I should probably eat but I just don't know what I want or maybe it's that I don't have anything that I want and that is making me not hungry, I'm not too sure, but eating is important so I guess I should get around to that.
*Important news break* George has just come out of his box to sit with me which is a huge improvement. He still isn't his normal self but I hope this means that the steroid shot he got is slowly working!
8)Ummm probably a ton more things but I really don't remember them at the moment!
So as you can see I am super busy and really don't need to be procrastinating but I am for whatever reason. So talk to you later, keep your fingers crossed that I get myself together and get everything done.
Love and Kisses,
KABO

Old Men
So this post is dedicated to the OLD MEN who feel the need to hit on me. I'll start with the most recent incident and then move on.
1)Mitch my lawn guy. So about a year ago my landlord got mad at me for the grass being too tall. I had to hire a lawn cutter and called up a few people. The only one who would come to my house was this guy named Mitch. Turns out he went to hs with Mike my landlord (who is married 10 years with two kids a big tshirt business). Well originally he quoted me a pretty high price so I said thanks but I'll keep looking. He later texted me with something more reasonable and I agreed to it. He then invited me one day to go with him to the lake and kept inviting me out place which I kept saying no thanks to. I thought it was a bit odd but at the same time wasn't sure if he was just one of those uber friendly southerners with old school manners and stuff. Well today I texted him to find out when his people will be coming by again to do the lawn and let him know that I'm leaving in June and can't promise he'll have clients here once I go. He basically said he was only doing my house because he thinks I'm hot. He actually even just said that I was a "solid 10"...ummmmmmm awkward much? Then I just politely said thanks and he invited me out for drinks and I said I don't do alcohol and he said ok he understands. Ummm really dude you are super old, why would I want to go out with you?!?
2)So I posted a fb status and my old coworker Mike said that he's been telling me forever that I'm hot. Well yeah that's true, and forever I've been telling him that he's old. I actually think he's almost 40. He says I should stop being attracted to younger men and go for an older millionaire haha.
3)When I was a cocktail waitress I had a coworker who I honestly thought was just a really cool guy, he seemed to genuinely want to be my friend and was really nice to me. Him and his gf had a falling out and then he tried to spread a rumor around the workplace that something was going on between us and everyone was talking rumors that I was this horrible person breaking up a family or something. It was so stressful for me and all I wanted to do was have a friend at work to make things easier. He was 36 at the time. He now texts me randomly and even invited me, on him, to Cali this summer. Ummm no, I just want a friend, I don't need you starting more rumors at a place I don't even work with anymore about me!
4)This number is reserved for ALL the old men who tried to get my number and take me out when I was a cocktail waitress and even when I was a regular waitress. I gave a chance to two guys who were 11 years my senior and yeah wasn't feeling either of them. That's just too old! Like seriously though so many guys hit on me at the casino, I once had a regular who literally had drool on him he was so old and was like screaming at me to give him my number. No you aren't attractive and no I don't want someone in his 60s and no I'm not giving you my number!
So yeah, if the millions of readers I have also want to rant about people they don't like hitting on them please go ahead and rant in the comments. I would add that I can't stand when really unattractive or short guys hit on me, but I think a rant like that would offend too many people and I don't want to do that.
Love and Kisses,

No you aren't attractive and no I don't want someone in his 60s and no I'm not giving you my number!
So yeah, if the millions of readers I have also want to rant about people they don't like hitting on them please go ahead and rant in the comments. I would add that I can't stand when really unattractive or short guys hit on me, but I think a rant like that would offend too many people and I don't want to do that.

It's that time of year again
The pollen is starting to slowly pile up on the cars again and the professors are starting to pile up the research papers and tests. With all I have to do I'm sure the next few weeks will fly by. This week I have a response paper, 4 stories to peer edit, and two midterms all due/on Thursday. Tonight I'll probably just relax after I get home from class, watch Glee, and get to bed early because tomorrow is going to be spent studying like a mad woman! March 28 I have a proposal for my research project due in my bio lab so I have to meet up with my partner on Sunday, March 31st I have my first draft for my Isis research paper, April 6 I have my Field test in English that I need to find time to study for, and then some time after that I have to write another story and edit the last one and my research paper on Isis. Yeah, like I said, busy couple of weeks.
On top of school things I have a LOT to do in preparation for my move to NYC on June 1st. I'm super excited and think it's going to be a great thing for me. I'm so OVER small town life and the South in general. Yes, there will be things about Oxford that I miss but it's time for a change. Heather and I are looking for a place with a rent cap of 2k that allows dogs. I want to live in Manhattan but Heather and I are also looking at the very edge of Brooklyn because the places there are so much bigger for the same price. If anyone reads this and knows of things that would help us find a great place please let me know! I also have to find someone to take over the last two months of my lease here. I was hoping that my landlord would just post his ad sooner but that was silly of me. I hope my next landlord is better. Not that Mike is horrible, he's just not the best. The last thing I need to do for my move is sell a bunch of my furniture and find an inexpensive yet reliable mover for the few items that I am keeping (like my amazing pillow-top bed). Once again, on the chance someone knows something that can help me out don't hesitate to speak up!
Now, as for my lasts posts I'm sure the few of you who read this will want an update. As for the Ole Miss thing well, I've come to realize to the administration we are just the University of Mississippi, it's the students who see Ole Miss as being Ole Miss. The administration is uncaring and ridiculous. And by administration I simply mean a few select people who have their offices in the Lyceum. There are others in the administration who are great, such as the deans office who helped me a few weeks ago with an issue I had with degree requirements. I gave up on trying to talk to the chancellors office about caring for ALL their students, I just realized that it didn't make sense that they would listen to my voice when they don't listen to the voices of everyone who misses Col Reb, both students and alumni.
As for my job, well what a surprise, the restaurant closed up in the new year. Guess how I found out that I was jobless. Chef texted Ashley, Ashley called Winter, and Winter called me. Yes, that is correct, we lost our jobs through a TEXT to one server and then calls between the staff! They still owe me a paycheck AND they still have my cocktail tray at the restaurant. Chef apparently changed the lock and there's no way to get in. Umm I'm seriously about to call the cops because as far as I can tell they have STOLEN my property by not giving me the chance to retrieve it after they closed down. I'll update on the situation once I try to contact my old manager again. I have to admit though, not having a job has made my life so much less stressful. I mean last semester was miserable, and while I really don't like that I have to have my dad pay my bills for me I'm still so much happier that I don't have to be around those people any longer.
Okay, well it's about time to get ready to go back to school. I'll try to post on here more often, I know that I disappeared for a while, things were just nuts.
Love and Kisses,
