Olympics

Well I haven't posted in a while. Basically my life has been consumed by school and work. I don't know, sometimes I get home and I feel like I should at least make an attempt to keep this blog updated just because that was a goal of mine. I just don't really have the desire to do that. I have been going to school non stop and all I have is I believe one more full week of Summer II classes, and then the fall semester and I will have two degrees, and hopefully be able to move out of Lubbock and start a new life. I was actually talking with one of my friends last night who is actually back home in Algeria and he starts school in Paris on the 16th or so of August and he told me that he misses this place. Lubbock, Texas. This place is a windy, dry, shit hole. I have been here for 7 years. OMG 7 years. It's been too long.

Well the olympics are under way and since NBC decided not to show the olympics live in the U.S. I don't really watch it because by the time the events air the results are all ready over the internet. Who decided to air the events practically a whole day or so later than the athletes are competing. This isn't 1956, I mean everyone is connected, every thing is connected. This is the fucking digital age.

Work is so boring, and it makes me so depressed. I think my boss is annoying, and I can't stand to even here him talk. The only positive from work today is that he wasn't in the office and I listened to music on Pandora.

School is basically ruining my life. My 8am class I haven't went to since last Thursday (we had an exam) it's differential calculus. I just need a D...maybe a C. Before this exam I had a very high A because I made a 100 on one exam, and a 100 on the three homework's. That is why I don't go, the lecture is boring and it's at 8am. My technical writing class after that is mandatory. She will deduct points. She treats us like 5 year olds, and I have an A in the class so far. I mean we have a group proposal and my group are filled with people that I cannot stand. They don't really take my ideas into consideration and they really seem to not be too worried about the due date. This project is worth 20% of our grade and they don't really care.

The only positive thing that has happened so far is that I get to day dream about him. I mean why is he so dang good looking. Mr. Ryan Lochte

Hello old friend

It's been a while but in all honesty I was having a really rough go of things lately. Well first of all finals kicked my ass, but I still managed to do pretty well in my math analysis course. I made an A-. As for International Economics (which is what my degree is freaking in) I made a C in Dr. Masha's class which is not what I intended on making, but at this point I was fine with not having to repeat the course. Work has been shit because everyone is on vacation and or moving on with their lives, which basically means I work alone most of the time now. To top it off Summer II has officially started, well it started this past Tuesday and I am stuck with another 8am class.... math at that. Bring it on Calculus II. My technical writing class is a bit of a joke, how to write resumes, cover letters, proposals, power point presentations. Why am I paying thousands of dollars to learn something I can easily get from typing it in a google search. Americans. Three more weeks to go.

American Independence Day

Well I have been really busy finishing up the last few days of school, so I've been lacking on posts. I'm also in the process of braiding my hair, which I have come to the realization that it won't be done till probably this weekend.

I made a huge 4th of July dinner, which consisted of Pulled pork sandwiches with slaw on top, baked potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon lemonade. It was delicious. Now I'm stuffed and I want to take a nap, I also have two finals to study for that begin at 8am in the morning. So tomorrow is going to be shit for me. I really need to do well on these finals. I will probably be up all night studying, so I will take a little nap now.
