It’s Early!!

Okay well the first week of school is over for me.Â? Well not really ‘week’, more like 3 days is my school week, hehe.Â? I love having four day weekends!Â? I dropped off my transcript from San Jac to admissions the other day so hopefully my credits will show up online by the end of next week or else i will stop by and ask them what the hell are they doing.Â? Also i got a locker at the gym so that i dont have to walk around and look for a temporary locker all the time.Â? Unfortunately i did that thursday morning (yesterday) and it took like 20-30 minutes so then i didnt work out and went to meet becky at starbucks instead.Â? I stayed there with her forl ike half an hour and then went to class.Â? The good thing is, Thursday felt not as long as Tuesday did.Â? But it was still long because i had 2 3 hour blocks of being in class and listening to lectures while having one 90 minute break in between.Â? Wednesday was alright except that I am not sure I wanna suffer through the lab again but I think I’ll go through with it anyways to make the grade.Â? I need to buy a lab notebook though to write in again.

I got the genetics book from christine so thats good because it costs like 110 for a new copy.Â? I only bought theÂ? history and biochemistry material and it was a stunning 400 dollars already so yeah that hurt.Â? Plus then i went to b&n and bought some MCAT study books and that was another 50.Â? Thankfully I already had the organic material or else it would be another 275 added to all of this.Â? *sigh*Â? wow I really need a job… like fast. lol.

So this morning i woke up at like 8:30 and i feel great, which is always good.Â? I have only had three days of school and my sleep pattern has changed so much already, cause i had to get up so early at like 6 or 5:30 and then its not like in the summer where ican nap whenever cause i have nothing to do cause i have to be at school all day.Â? so then i come home by like 5 and then i do this and that and last night i was alerady starting to feel tired at 8:30 , then i went to bed and watched a little tv and i think i fell asleep at likie 9:30 or so. but i like mornings and waking up early so i guess this is good.

I met a few new people these past few days, mostly in lab because when youre stuck there donig nothing for 4-5 hours you end up talking to the strangers around you.Â? and then one more person yesterday in genetics class.

this weekend i will be working more on my project, theres only a few more things i have to do building the site and then after that itll all just be adding content and trying to get my website out there and more known about.Â? I have decided to not announce when i ‘launch’ my site until i get my first sign up cause then it will be more exciting. lol.Â? well for me, itll be more exciting. hehe.Â? so yeah i will be aiming to complete all the scripts having to do with signing up this weekend.Â? after that theres not much left to do , just formatting the content coming out of the database, and also the stuff for members to edit/update their information, the lost password thing, and valid email checker (well thats part of the sign up stuff sorta).Â? So hopefully after these next four days I will bedone with that and then work only on adding content for i’m estimating about 2 to 3 months now since i have taken on a full course load at school already.

I have been keeping up with exercising so i am happy about that, hehe.Â? i even made an exercise chart to keep track of what i do everyday.Â? so as for that i will be going to the gym tuesday and thursday morning, and then also wednesday before i have class, but that just depends on how much of a bitch parking and traffic and timing will be before i have to go to lab class since i cant be late for that.Â? i really wish i had some money right now just so i can get a bike and ride it around campus so i dont have to walk half a mile everytime i need to go to another building or parking lot.

And i am proud of myself for not spending one cent on campus yet (except for books) but i mean on food and stuff because i have been taking some snacks and giant bottle of water with me.Â? i think i will take my lunch box next week though because my new backpack is like..i dont know its slanted and kind of small so i can only carry limited things in there and it keeps squishing my poor little sandwich.Â? Now that i have that locker at the gym though i will be able to keep stuff in there and not have to carry so much with me anymore.Â? and plus im not planning to carry any of my books with me, which the downside is i cant study at school but i really dont wanna end upcarrying a bunch of stuff all the time with me cause it gets heavy.Â? i still hav to bring a few pens/pencils/highlighters though to use with my planner.Â? cause during my 90 minute break i will probablyu just be updating my planner or in the library trying to print stuff.Â? i might bring a book with me to read.Â? okay well thats all for now i am going to do stuff now.Â? i liked waking up early this morning it puts me in a good mood.Â? but the downside is i have to be productive or else ill get sleepy soon again.

My First Day of School

Okay well I don’t really think of it as a ‘first day’ since i havent really had a break from school since winter time and that two weeks in May. But it was the first day of this semester today and I can already tell I will be spending a lot of time studying and trying to keep up with everything else going on.

All of my classes…seem like…i dont know yet. But I will be studying a lot because I want a 4.0. Saw a lot of people today which is good cause i miss being a little more social but at the same time its like I wasn’t exactly too excited cause I am in a mindset to really study a lot this semester so I can make all A’s of course. Well tomorrow i have the one lab class from 2-8 but hopefully i get out really really early so i dont have to be there at night. well i am going to organize all the stuff i got today now and then go exercise. here is a picture of my backpack:

I got a new backpack!!

So today I went out in a quest to find a new backpack.Â? I went to this Sports Authority store and couldn’t find a thing that I liked so then I went to academy but had the same problem.Â? Basically most of the backpacks at sports stores are for like heavy duty camping and big trips so they are either gigantic and just way too big or they just dont have what i need on them.Â? I finally gave up and went to walmart to buy some chips but then I looked there and found a backpack that i really like!Â? Well its one of those one-strap backpacks and I don’t know I just like it.Â? I will take a picture of myself and it tomorrow when I come home from school.

Also had to run some errands today like depositing all my money from my job lately into the bank.Â? I also quit that job yesterday because I figured its just too far for me to drive there and do all the stuff I need to do.Â? I mean its 40 minutes away so thats like 3 hours minimum everytime i go to work for just one hour.Â? Plus I need time to help out at home cause everyone’s schedule is so tied up and mines the easiest to work with I guess.Â? Then I also went to San Jac to get my transcript. It was an extremely painless process that took less than 5 minutes which I was happy with because at UH you have to submit a form to order it and then come back in 2/3 days to pick it up again.Â? I just turned in a form at San Jac and the lady went ahead and printed it and sealed it right away.Â? So thats good cause its totally done with now and tomorrow I gotta drop it off at admissions at UH so that they can transfer the credit over.

Well I have been home other than those short little trips and have been doing my laundry around the house and trying to get organized for tomorrow.Â? Which reminds me I still need to bleach my lab coat again and iron it for my lab on Wednesday.Â? Well I am going to exercise now and work on my project some more.Â? I am almost done with the login and register stuff and once I’m done with that I need to work on formatting the stuff coming out of the database, for some reason the thing i have right now used to separate paragraphs only works on like every other page that i call up.

I Made A 99

So yeah i found out today i made only a 99 on my final test yesterday. its ‘only’ a 99 because i wanted a 100 and a 99 is sure as hell not a 100. so that sucks. oh well i will probably get over it in a few hours. but im still pissed a little bit. not at the class or teacher , but just at myself. i shouldve done the extra credit packet but i didnt cause i didnt wanna color 10 zillion pages of diagrams i was too busy studying. I guess i deserved it I shouldve done something extra. I just cant believe i only missed by 1 point. oh well it doesnt even count since im just transfering the credit but still though. Oh well i will get over it.

well today is my first day off so i am gonna be working on my little project and get some stuf done today. and of course, im gonna play the sims2 :)

Its Finally Over.

Well another semester is over for me. As much as I wanted to not come to the class anymore I did enjoy it and I’m kinda sad its over. Classes at San Jac are a lot tighter because theres less people and you can actually get to know someone. At this point I usually write some sappy story about how much i learn in school and why i love it so much but i am just too damn tired for that so that will probably come up by the end of this month though. Well I have the rest of this week until Tuesday to do what I wanna do and then go back to school again at UH so I have a list of things I will be trying to get done including this image verification thing I’m working on for my site. Oh and I have to clean the fish tank. Okay well hopefully I did well enough on my test today to get an A on my class. And by ‘well enough’ I mean I need a 100 from the test. I’m gonna put up my laundry now while only wearing socks! I love being home alone. :)

I hate it when people brag about themselves.

I hate it when people brag about themselves.Â? I had to sit behind this girl who did it CONSTANTLY last summer session and it annoyed the hell out of me.Â? Everyday she’d come in and talk about how she learned this and this and that and this and how well she did in this and that.Â? And what makes it worse is that she ALWAYS managed to bring it up when someone else was talking to her about how they weren’t doing so well.Â? I mean…what the fuck, does it make her feel good to rub it in someone’s face??Â? “Oh yeah, Well I think I made all A’s even without the extra credit” yeah..she says that after the girl next to her says that she might need to do more extra credit to pass.Â?

Â? Then there are the people who are bitter and jealous when they see that yes, other people can do well in the class too.Â? Like once this girl in my lab was saying how she made a 90 and was happy cause shed never made an A on a chemistry test before.Â? And then this person comes up and says “oh well there were two versions of the test , one was a lot easier…”Â? ….uhh..wow thanks a lot- fuck you too.Â?

Â? and now i will go exercise.

“New”

Somehow, in some situations, this simple word turned into something very stupid sounding. Yes, I’m talking about ‘noob’, ‘newb’, ‘nub’, ‘n00b’, ‘newbie’, ‘no0b’, etc. Not only is it just plain stupid, but the way people use this ..’pseudo-word’ is usually pretty condescending. what happened to using the words like ‘beginner’ or just ‘new’. it had to turn into something dumb of course or else how else would you communicate? using real words?! nooooo..of course not. … … i wonder if you could crush someone’s head like you do to get crushed iced.

Anyways today i tried to take pics of myself using my little fitness equipment set. its just a fitness set and two dumbbells. okay so later ill figure out how i can take some better pics but its hard cause i gotta put the timer on and then run into place and do the exercise and hold it . anyways here are the few that i have. i havent been able to take good ones with the resistance tube cause i have trouble getting into place fast enough. okay well test wednesday and then i guess i have a short break before school starts again. im excited. =) also made sort of a list of classes to take for the upcomming semesters and so far it doesnt seem THAT bad..but its still going to be a handfull. and as for the mcat im thinking ill take it next year early on thats if im ready when i plan to be. yeah…and i need to think of the whole community service thing. i dont really wanna do community service but..ill figure something out.

Just Another Monday

Well it is Monday night and of course here I am studying. Well right now I am taking a break to check stuff online. Anyways here are some pictures of my new razor and me. I have never had a razor that wasn’t a “disposable” razor before so this was exciting for me. I am getting more and more excited thinking about school starting. I guess I’ve got a whole schedule of things lined up and I just can’t wait to start. Also once summer school is over then I can maybe finally get called into work. Cause right now I’ve got like no money and no work and its NOT working out.

Yesterday I found out that my bill for school this coming semester was almost 4k. Ouch. As soon as I found that out I somehow had enough ‘encouragement’ to apply for a scholarship almost immediately. Probably the fastest I’ve ever sat down and focused in to write an essay. The tuition is increasing almost every day it feels like so yeah from now on I will be writing a shit load of essays and trying to win money basically. And hopefully I win something. lol.

Well that is all for now. I will talk more once this week is over again cause I have two tests that I need to study for.

Progress on my Secret Project!

okay so far my website does the following things (using php)

USERS: lets users sign up, log in, log out, keeps track of last log in times, checks browser stuff (i dont think this does much but its the smallest bit i can do against session hijacking i guess) .

Content Management: verify/approve members, change member status, add content, edit content, manage active members

The actual website: just one index page basically and pulls up the other stuff from url variables, can display sub categories from clicking on a category page, and can display pages from clicking on a subcategory page, displays the menu according to whether the person is logged in or out.

okay and thats all. yep, short list. But anyways that took me quite some time mostly cause I’ve been slacking off and studying for summer school so I had to take time off my project lately. Today i mostly just did the menu and displaying the summaries (which is the part i had to add on to my database scheme).

I have a lottttt of stuff to do like i want to :

  • 1. figure out how i am going to try to prevent two users trying to use the same login name to log in (at the same time )
  • 2. finish the subscription procedure with the email check and stuff (before i didnt have this because i dont wanna email myself everytime i tested the site)
  • 3. format the output from the database so it actually looks NICE (right now its just text everywhere)
    4. add some anti spam/bots stuff around like the image checker thing. dont know how ill pull that off though.
  • 5. finish with the css, styling everything and details to colors/sizes etc. will be a minimum of images though, since i cant make any that look good.
  • 6. add question/help form thingy
  • 7. put in details /take out details (mostly just stuff that i echo to check to see if things are working right now, i need to delete them)
  • and 8. add all of the content!! (this will probably take the longest, but will be relatively easy and more relaxing than the coding part of the website.

anyways so that is a long list for me but i am done for today. tomorrow i will work more on my project.

Nothing else has really been going on, I need to study for class though and I hope I get called into work finally. Any day now. Hopefully very soon because I am incredibly broke. And I stayed home today and STILL spent a whole 35 dollars on jeans! Well my sister went out to buy them for me and so now I have to pay her back.

Alright well tomorrow I will take pictures of myself and take some measurements to put on here so that I can start keeping track of things before I get into working out at the end of this month. That way I can see if it pays off later, hehe. Thats all for tonight.
