So according to my health professor, i scored an 85 on my final exam and that should be enough to have an A in the class. Whoo hoo!

Political Science final exam tomorrow. That one im a little worried about. Last day at AACC!

Statistics Final grade is in.

2004-12-12T02:29:10Z

An email i got today:

Mark: You received a B for the course. On the final you had an 80% giving you an overall average of 85.2%. Congratulations

WHOO HOO! TAKE THAT MAF!

we'll see

craziness

one final grade in

2004-12-10T19:21:18Z

I got a B in social problems class. I'll take it.

Today was the most stressing test ive ever taken. I needed only a little more than half the points to maintain a B, but if i got an A, i'd get an A in the class. So its a 200 point test, im thinking i need about 120 points. I count up how many points i know for sure that i knew i'd get...only about 105. I was really mad, then i added up the point total and it was only 160. So i know that i'll get 105, plus others were up in the air, plus a extra credit question that i should get at least partial credit on.

so much for being realistic

2004-12-10T06:15:26Z

So i talked to naz just before walking out the door about christmas eve. She said it was "pretty much" mandatory to work it. I told her about what i was doing and she said "well i have you down to work until 5" which is already later than i ever worked on christmas eve. She said "i know that you go to church on christmas eve night..." So i reminded her that we usually go at 4, but as i said in my last post, we're doing things differently and i cant even work until then. She said "well you're gonna work until 5 and thats all there is to it, i bend over backwards for you people all year long and if you want to work here and cant work during christmas, then dont even bother showing your face in this store." So i told her "ok" and thats all i said. She then said "you're gonna call out sick arent you?" i told her "no, that would result in being written up wouldnt it? I dont want that..." she said "yeah it pretty much would, that goes for any weekend from here to the end of the year." She then decided that she had to re-tell me that "I have you down from open to 5 o'clock." I said "ok, i understand" and thats all that was said. Anyone who has worked at FYE or that knows me somewhat well, knows that i dont like the job much and that when family events are going on, i will NOT miss them.

That leads me to my next dilemma, which i could use some imput on: From the way Naz made it sound, if i leave before x-mas, i will be put into the computer as "not re-hireable". I also still need some money between now and x-mas, so i dont want to tell her that im leaving on dec 23 and then have her tell me to go fly a kite and not come back to work until then. I also dont want to quit on the spot because that will look bad too. Im not so concerned about not being able to work there again, im just debating whether i should wait so that i can make sure i have the money to buy gifts and that i can not have to run out and get a job the next day, but i dont want to quit on the spot, because it will affect more than jus Naz and i dont want to bring that hardship onto my co-workers.

Suggestions?

christmas eve different this year - early leave from FYE?

2004-12-09T17:26:31Z

This year we will be doing christmas eve gathering before church. Usually i would work from 10-3 at FYE and then meet the family at church and then we'd get together afterwards for dinner. This year we'll be meeting before church, around 1 pm. Im not going to miss christmas eve with my family so that i can work at shithole. And i will not work 10-12. That will hardly cover for the gas it takes to get there. It wouldnt be worth it. So now, im faced with the decision - can i leave on Dec 23 and pick up some side jobs until i leave for SU? Will I be able to work at the job that Tom had suggested where we carry boxes out to cars. Thats only seasonal, but will it suffice? Could a few hours at the range help? I know Mr. Bob is always lookin for people to come in an hand pick, eventhough its cold...i guess i could do it, i dont want to though. Im sure i'll figure out something.

Thinking to myself that tomorrow would be december 6th, i just know something is coming up. Then it hits me. Wasnt my final paper for social problems due december 7th? Oh well, i'll check in the morning, since my bag is still in my car. So today i get out my book and there it is. Final Project Due December 7. Damn. Looks like ive got some work to do :(

Daily extended
You've got the map, so it's up to you to decide where to go next. Be as adventurous as you like. You may not have exact directions, but you know you want to chart a new course for all those who want to come along. Your grasp of the situation is even better than usual right now. With everything that's going on, this is a good time to consider putting off a few mundane chores. Any extra details will only muddy the water.

Your dreams are not as far from reality as you think. Examine them closely

Tomorrow i will go to class, come home and vote, and then i might go to salisbury to go drop off this check for housing for the spring. I think my bro is comin with. Hang out around campus for a bit and let my bro get an idea of what its like there and then its back home around 8 so that i can do some homework for Statistics and a ton of homework for social problems. Even though SP is on Tue/Thu, i'll have to do a crapload of it tomorrow night because i have damn work on wednesday night and i wont have a ton of time to do it then.

Happy Halloween

Congratulations to the 2004 Boston Red Sox!

The curse is broken!

dream

2004-10-24T02:26:03Z

Last night i had a dream that i called out of work and my excuse was that i ran over and broke the legs of a cat that was in the road and that i had to take the guy who owned the cat to the animal hospital. When my alarm went off, i remember thinking that i had already passed off that lame made up excuse to not work and that i had the day off. I turned off the alarm and went back to bed. I ended up being a coupla minutes late.

Go Red Sox!

I figured it out - with her help

2004-10-19T21:11:31Z

For a while now i have been trying to figure out where i know this one girl from who is in my statistics class. Not until today when she asked me after our health class when our stat homework was due did i realize that she was in both of the classes. lol.

I went over to Jillians to watch the ballgame last night on my break. Thats the first time ive eaten there. Heres the report card:

Service: B+. The waiter was very nice and wasted no time in bringing me a water even before greeting me at my table. He also made sure that i got a burger out quick since i was only on a break from work. However, even while knowing this, he was pretty slow at getting me the check and running my card through.

Food: B. The fries were excellent. However the burger was not. The bun was nicely toasted, but the burger was a bit too roasted.

Atmosphere: A+. Large television screens and showing multiple sporting events at once, all while you eat, fans into the game and cheering them on was acceptable here, and made for lots of fun. Wait staff was also dressed in football uniforms for MNF.

Bang for your buck: B+. A burger, fries, and a drink, plus a tip cost just 10 dollars. (bill was 7, 3 for tip)

My brother actually watched the Red Sox/Yankees game last night. He hasnt watched baseball in YEARS. He half watched it the night before when i had it on and he was at the computer. When i got home from work he says "Did you hear the red sox won!?! That Ortiz guy did it again, and i knew he would because he was getting bad calls all night and he was pretty mad about it. It went into 14 innings and was the longest game time wise ever in the playoffs." - Wow. I didnt know he was watching it that closely to pick up all that!

Hopefully the Sox can pull another one out tonight. GO RED SOX!!!!

red sox come back

2004-10-18T05:37:00Z

I watched most of the 5 hour marathon aka Red Sox - Yankees ALCS game 4. Faced with elimination and with the best statistical post-season pitcher ever to play the game, the Red Sox kept their hopes alive by tying the game. Then in the 12th inning, David Ortiz hit a homerun to send it to game 5. One of the best games ive seen in a long time. (of course i wouldnt be saying that if the yankees won ;) )

Keep the faith Sox fans!

19 days

2004-10-15T02:31:25Z

Just 19 days until the election! I was in marley station mall today taking my bro to an interview at suncoast and i stopped in the halloween store and saw that they had masks of both bush and kerry. My speedometer is still acting funny, i dont know what needs to be done to fix it or how much it will cost? Ive also picked up a cold somewhere in the last 2 or so days.

second presidential debate

2004-10-09T05:01:50Z

I cought some of it on the re-run as i got home. My favorite quote of the night was after J.K. said that Bush was a small business owner, owning a lumber company. Bush responded "I own a lumber company?...thats news to me...need any wood?"

here are some wordage breakdown of the debate:

Pres. Bush
Terrorists—17
Wrong—7
My opponent—7
Taxes—26
Threat—10
Iraq—10

Sen. John Kerry
The president—68
Plan—33
Iraq—11
Lost jobs—10
Alliance—9

new cd

2004-10-06T04:44:13Z

i picked up george strait's 50 #1 hits today. On the way home for some reason as im driving down the road, my speedometer says im doing 0 mph. It stayed that way for a minute or so, and then it just went back to normal? I dunno what that was all about.

Tomorrow i will be helping Dr Alduino register people to vote. To those who are reading and arent registered, remember you must be registered by oct 12 in order to vote in this years presidential election.

I dont have my political science class on friday because the professor wants go to out of town.

How rediculious is this...? Im in health class today and for some reason, half an hour before class is over, people began to pack up their things. Then the professor says "well i guess if ya'll are packin up it must be time to go...see ya thursday and we'll cover protein then...actually we should have covered it today but thats ok"

SU/Stat

2004-10-04T01:24:57Z

I went and put down the 200 dollars to confirm my acceptance of admission to SU for the spring semester.

I also got my test back from statistics. I got a 147/150 or 98%

Ocean city was fun and relaxing and now im ready to get back to the same old typical work week. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off, hopefully i'll be able to go out and look for a job that wont be affected by the christmas season to the extent that fye is.

SU/OC/Debate

2004-10-01T03:59:36Z

Im about to go to bed so im going to keep this short.

I got an acceptance letter from Salisbury University today.

Tomorrow i leave for Ocean City for the weekend.

I watched the debate tonight, and i think the candidates did an equally good job. The downfalls for each were: George Bush had many more quotes on John Kerry and used them more effectively than his counterpart. Bush also hurt himself by allowing too much time pass by without saying anything. However, i think this is better than the alternative, which would have been to use a wrong word or ramble through his point and making it less coherent and unappealing to the viewers. The strong points: Kerry began to try to prove that he doesnt flip-flop. However, Bush made that a hard message to bestow upon the public. I believe that Kerry still has gained some more credibility from the debate tonight. Bush's strong points were using direct quotes of John Kerry and I believe he benefited from having the last word, and i believe his closing argument was stronger than Kerry's. Other points: Kerry went out of his way to not say "Vietnam". When talking about Iraq and then referring to his time in Vietnam, he said "when i was fighting in that war." If you didnt know that Kerry was in Vietnam for some reason, you would think he fought in the Iraq war. Bush seemed to be more on the defensive and Kerry on the attack mode. I think it would be better if Kerry were to say more of specifically what he would do, rather than what Bush has/hasnt done that Kerry disagrees with.

Overall, like i said, i believe that both candidates did an equal job. Next debate is October 8th.

work/oc

2004-09-30T04:31:32Z

Work was sooooooooooooo boring today. Im already getting tired of this mindless job. On the other hand, we got back homework #2 today and i got another 24/25. Tests come back on friday. So far:

Social Problems: 19.5/20, 17/20
Political science: 72/100
Statistics: 24/25, 24/25
Health: 90/100

not too bad.

I picked up the rascal flatts cd, but im saving listening to it until the road trip to ocean city so that i'll have some new material in the car.

Ashely keeps tellin me to call Mallory, but i dont think im going to. However, i will call Katie, probably sometime on saturday.

Its almost pay day and i'll finally have some fun money after months of being pretty conservatively spending my money due to car insurance :/

car insurance

2004-09-21T04:52:19Z

I got my half filled out form back from AACC on saturday. They filled out the form and signed it saying that i was in compliance with the mentioned academic standards. Then they wrote at the top that i wasnt. I was like...uh...so what do i do now? So today i went to my State Farm agent and showed him this contradicting statement they made, as well as my most recent report card. He said he'd take the bottom part that they signed and photocopy it to a different top part, and not to worry about it, that he'd make sure that it was taken care of and that i now recieve the good student discount.

havent done much updating recently

2004-09-20T04:16:39Z

Ive been pretty busy between work and school. Both seem to be going well, although, while i have a source of money, its still not as much as i believe i could make elsewhere. For that reason, and a few others that i can not mention, the job hunt really hasnt come to a close. Especially if a few things happened at fye, i'd be looking to bolt pretty fast. Im not looking forward to christmas there, thats for sure! However if i do get another job, i'd like it to be one that isnt affected by the christmas season, at least not to the extent that fye is.

The ravens party was fun today. Will came over, i hadnt seen him in forever either so that was cool. James and Amy came over, as well as Rob. James got me the new tim mcgraw cd for my birthday, it seems to be pretty good so far too.
