Off To Vegas

Well, I'm off to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning to attend a friend's wedding. I don't know if I'll have access to an internet connection, so I probably won't be checking in until late Sunday. Everybody have a great weekend!

I Want to Stay In Bed

Current mood: bearmood — sad crappy
I don't feel well today. I asked Marcus to turn the furnace on this morning because I'm absolutely freezing. I would've just stayed in bed to keep warm, but I'm having the worst cramps today. Yippee. Marcus, Mike, Nina and I are going to Las Vegas this weekend to attend Mike's sister's wedding. I've got so much to do before we leave, but I can't leave my house. FedEx tried to deliver my printer twice yesterday, but the first time I was at school and the second I was at work and Marcus wasn't home yet. Argh! I don't even dare get into the shower yet.

I just heard on WB2 news that Cub Foods will be closing all of it's Colorado stores on November 15th. Damn it, that is where I prefer to shop. This so totally sucks!

I would hate to be that guy at the Cubs playoff game yesterday that interferred with the player catching the foul ball. If the Cubs had won, they would've gone on to the World Series. Now they have to go to game 7 tonight. I hope for that poor guy's sake that the Cubs win.

I Can’t Believe This…

Current mood: bearmood — angry infuriated
This stupid school continues to infuriate me. CollegeAmerica Denver didn't do well educating Business students (ask my friend, Roxanne). They didn't do well educating Computer Technology students (ask me or my friend, Reverie). They didn't do right educating Computer Programming students (ask this girl). They certainly didn't educate the Medical students that were there when I left as their teacher walked out. Today I open my paper and see the following ad:

CollegeAmerica is a joke! Don't go there!


This program is so new it is not even on their website. I'm sure they have the stellar teaching staff lined up for this that they had for all the other programs. So, how can you really get good at educating students when you change your programs offered based on market trends? That's just it, YOU CAN'T! Pick something and stick to it and maybe, MAYBE you will get a reputation for being a fine educational facility instead of the sleazy ripoff school that you are. My advice: If you're looking to study anything offered by CollegeAmerica, RUN! Chances are you'll regret it and probably owe them a whole lot more money than I do.

A Wise Man Once Said…

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
-- Aristotle

Sleep, Wherefor Art Thou

Current mood: bearmood — awake awake
Well, no big shocker here after the last post, but I'm thinking the insomnia thing is a result of my financial crisis. Sure, my conscious mind believed that I wasn't doing too bad, but my subconsious knew. Guess that's why at 4 am I'm wide awake again. The stress has also caused a whole bunch of canker sores to break out in my gums. Ouch!

I wish I had no self-respect and could start a site like Save Karyn. I'm in no mood to deal with the backlash that comes with online begging, though. Can you believe that chick wrote a book about the whole thing?
