| Drugs..... |
[14 Feb 2006|08:15pm] |
All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
For example:
the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen.
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful
consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced
that is has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix,
and of course, Ibepokin.
In other drug news today, Pfizer Corp. announced today that VIAGRA will
soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as
a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible
for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no
longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of
"cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink."
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: "MOUNT & DO"

Now that I have told everyone in person that it affects I can tell everyone online. It's official, I'm going to be a Mountaineer! I'll be transfering to Appalachian State University in the fall, still as a math major with secondary teaching licensure. So if you go to App hopefully we can hang out when I get there and you can show me all the cool neat stuff about Boone!!!

So with only 22 hours left of this semester, I must say I'm glad for it to go. It has been the most up and down semester EVER. However I have gotten in a few grades, pretty good so far, (an A, B+, and B-) however I still have 3 grades left to be posted, two of which I still have to take the final for. Tonight at 7pm is my CST final, and tomorrow at noon is my Matrix final (which I have to make a 70 on to get a C in the class, EVERYONE please pray that I will be able to do that, I don't want to take that over)
SO that is how school is going right now. Oh and I just found out that I am going to be a math undergraduate assistant for next semester. (they are letting me do it, even though my math gpa will be below a 3.5 I was honest about that to begin with and maya is working with me...) so basically its gonna be awesome! getting paid to help others with math!
Well i better review a little bit more before this final tonight, and then you can count on my studying all night long for Matrix.
Until next time...

| how my year went.. |
[08 Dec 2005|05:48pm] |
Copying Ashley and taking the first line out of my first post for every month...here we go.
JANUARY:Daily Life
Food of the year: New York Pizza on tate street..hell yeah Julie
FEBRUARY:Wow, so I never update my LJ its really kinda gotten taht bad.
MARCH/APRIL I was MIA....
MAY:So its been around 3 months since I wrote in here, but don't worry I shall be filling up these pages with lots of stuff over the next 5 weeks.
JUNE:Hey everyone. I so need to update this thing everyday because I always forget alot of the details.....But yeah, I dont really have alot of time today, so I´m just gonna post the emails I sent to my family and friends.
JULY: MIA again
AUGUST: Right now I'm so happy and so sad.
SEPTEMBER: have like 100000 (acutally only 7) different things going through my head right now, so I'm just writing them down to see if they make any sense.
OCTOBER: It was great having a semi-relaxing weekend....
NOVEMBER: I'm such a blonde...LOL
DECEMBER: (ok so I haven't updated in december, but my nov 30 post will have to count!)
I swear does no one realize the pain and the stress I'm going through?
LOTS OF FUN!!! Kinda sad to read old entries and realize how rough of a year this has been. Glad it is almost over, and I just have this feeling that 2006 will be better than 2005, sans the traveling to Europe part. But I'm definitly going to make time for those friends I love and care about (aka-Ashley and Andrea)....Ok, gotta go get some dinner, yay for Taco Bell, then to study calculus all night :) If I didn't love that class so much, I would be rather upset right now....lol

Well its been a while since I've actually updated, but lets just say, life is still almost hell. Grandma is currently at the Rex Heatlhcare/Rehab Center in Apex, and is doing ok. She is no longer on oxygen and has good and bad days. In fact the other day, she actually called me by name, without someone telling her who I was. And I don't think she has known who I am for atleast 5 years. However, its been a month and a half, and they had given her 3-6 months. So it gets really emotional at times. Yet as bad off as she is, atleast she has no idea what is wrong with her, and she is somewhat of the stable part of my life.
My dad is a completely different story entirely. As much as I strongly dislike the guy, its gotten bad. He also was diagnoised with lung cancer, and last week he saw the surgeon and they had to remove all of his back teeth (like 8-10 of them) since they were all infected and they won't do surgery until he has no infection in his body. However, today, he had another seizure. Except this time people saw it, and he convulsed. He was sent to the hospital by EMS and they released him an hour ago. Tomorrow he goes back to the neurologist to see what is going on, since they thought they had gotten him on the correct dosage of his medicine. My dad is still smoking, even though he HAS lung cancer. But whatever. On to other news school is killing me. Next week I really don't see me making it through with everything done and done well. I just dont see it happening.
BUt atleast there is thanksgiving around the corner (3 days) and I will get a good 5 days at home with my mom and cousins. Hoewver on Turkey Day I will be spending it with my dads side of the family, since they are in horrible shape and it will probably be grandmas last one. That means I wont get to see my moms side, who I love dearly (however I still get to hang out with April and Laura...my favorites. they are on both sides of my family, long story...)So hopefully break will be good and relaxing, too bad I have to write TWO speeches and begin studying for my tests during it.
Well I hope everyone has a safe and happy Turkey Day! and I can't believe I'm gonna be 20 on Sunday. Crazy.
PS- I officially got into Appalachian today. Now the biggest desicion ever, to change schools, or not.

I'm such a blonde...LOL
So Meggan and I get back from Tay/Lauren/Allison's apt and there ends up being 3 cops in the baseball parking lot, we ask one what is going on and she unconviencingly tells us that its nothing and that they just happen to all be in the same lot. So after we find a spot (after stalking some girls) we get out and head for the dorm. Meggan says 'lets get out our keys in case we need to stab someone in the eye' and I say, 'I'll get my cell phone. Whats the number for 9-1....' and as my voice fades Meggans is like 'You so didn't ask me that!!"
So lessons of the night: (1) something creepy is going on in the baseball lot, and (2) Jennifer has NO common sense

I think the 2 weeks of hell have finally been rewarded with one AWESOME week! (tis about time!)
I don't know how but I just got a 93 on my Matrix Test...(and to think that yesterday during advising I told my advisor there was no way I was going to get a C in the class and that I needed to take it again next semester) evidently I have finaly started to understand that class. I don't think I have ever been more proud of a grade then this one. EVER. I studied for 6 hours yesterday and tried not to stress. I memorized EVERy definition and theorem in the 2 chapters the test was on and it paid off. I'm so thankful, this is what I needed right now. Not failing the 2nd test which most people do worse on!!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, now a jump back to reality and to class..
*oh, not sure of exactly what is going on with my dad, but it is definitly cancer (hopefully stage 1 or 2) and if so they will take out the lung or a part of his lung and then go from there..grandma is hanging on, however my uncles wifes (my aunt) mother died the other day, and her funeral was yesterday. Aunt Cheryl is now the only one left in her family. Her parents were the only children of their family, and she was an only child. And now Aunt CHeryl is fighing colon cancer for the 2nd time. Things just don't ever let up.....

Just so everyone at school and elsewhere knows why I haven't been in touch with anyone when you called. Saturday I worked from 12-8 and got notice that my dad's mom had gone into the hosptial with dehydration....but yeah. So as time goes on, last night I learned that grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer (in late stages) and is having heart trouble. Come to find out today, that my dad was in a wreck last night on his way home from the hosptial and is now at Western Wake in ICU to see if it was his seizures again...and now grandma is in ICU at Rex Hospital with lung cancer/heart failure/blood clots. Its not good and it will be any day before she dies...so currently I'm living at home with mom, to take care of things. However I will be going to school. Just wanted to let everyone know why I haven't called you back and why I wont be at school. Just pray for my family right now. I haven't always been on good terms with this family.......but they need it.

So much for putting alot of effort into Matrix Theory. Definitly failed this take home quiz....whatever. Its worth like <1% of my final grade when i think about it..but I still can't get over it. Instead of working on it all week, I put it off. However tonight I had an hour long conversation that just lead to tears and now I'm an emotional wreck. Maybe I wont go to that class tomorrow...grr..
Good night

| Weekend.... |
[02 Oct 2005|11:32pm] |
It was great having a semi-relaxing weekend....
Friday
It started out by me going to get my transcript from the registers office, which took me 2 trys because the first time I forgot my $5 and the second time I forgot my ID....But after all the 30 min hassle I got my UNCG Transcript printed and made it to Physics on time. Then after Physics I left UNCG and headed to DSA, where I asked them to send my transcript to ASU...which they are doing for FREE!! Talked with Tracy and Mrs. Larson...then went to work at 1pm. Worked until 6..lots of fun. Then went home and had Wendy's for dinner at 9:30 and went to bed around 11.
Saturday
Woke up at 8:30 (yuck I hate routine-ness) ate breakfast..yay for bacon and egg sandwhiches!! Then went back to sleep until 11. Took a shower and went to work for 4 hours!! After work went to the grocery store and bought stuff to make a hot fudge cake :) and ice cream. Went to blockbuster and rented "Guess Who" and mom ordered 3 pizzas from Dominoes...the 3 for $5 deal. Ate pizza and watched a movie, and in the middle put my hot fudge cake together and it was done at the same time as the movie, and boy was it GOOOOOOD! :) I tell you, sometimes I know how to cook. Fell asleep in mom's room watching Law and Order (I dont have a tv in my room..its at school...) life doesn't get much better then that.
Sunday
Today I woke up at 8:30 once again, and layed on the couch until I decided I needed to shower and head to church. Had a good time there, and so on. Came home and slept for about 3 hours then mom took me to Chapel HIll (where I had left my car all weekend) and I came back to G'boro. Got back at 5pm and got a great spot. Needless to say, I wont be moving it all week! Then I went to dinner with meggan and anna at applebees :) And then spent 2.5 hours in the library studying for communications..stupid midterms.
Well that sums up my weekend! I can't wait until next. Too bad I have all this stuff to do (midterms, take home quizzes, etc) before I can enjoy my FALL BREAK!!! It's going to be great! mom and michael are going to new orleans so I"ll have the house to myself..to bad I'm working like crazy then and on Saturday night I get to babysit my bestest girl in the whole world. MAYA!! And she can talk now :) I so can't wait. Not only is she super cute, and well behaved and just plain adorable, she now can talk!!!! YAY! (I'm so proud of her) Then I have monday and tuesday off to just relax :)
I'm gonna go to bed, the roommate just did, and try to start this hectic week off right! Hope everyone has a great one :)

| What a week... |
[29 Sep 2005|09:35pm] |
So I finally decided to stick with Matrix Theory, and this time I'm really putting effort into it. In fact, I've put effort into all of my classes and have somehow caught up on all school work. However there is still tons to be done this weekend, considering midterms (well 2 of them) are next week.
And...because no one really knew about this. I have finally applied to Appalachian.I just think that overall they have a better math education department, so I have applied, now to get my high school and college transcript sent (doing that tomorrow). I shall hopefully hear back around Early-mid november. So that could be a great birthday present!! (However I'm still not 100% positive that if I get in, I'll go....) I just really need a place to call my own. Greensboro doesnt do that for me. I have like 4 friends here, and I never see them to begin with, so what is moving an hour and a half away. THere is never anything to do on campus, except the occasional good sporting event (soccer) but nothing on teh weekends, so when you do want to go to a game, you dont because you have gone home since the weekends are completley boring here. But yeah...I dont want anyone to tell me that is a stupid reason to transfer, but its how I feel. I'm also wanting to student teach (the one that I do for a whole semester) with free range. I don't want to be stuck at a poverty school the entire time. (I know its important to intern/student teach there..but I also think it is beneficial to go into other aspects as well) SO tahts it, I've applied and should know soon.
That makes me feel like I'm a Senior in High School again..lol
WEll this week had been good, and since I've done such a great job of keeping up, I'm gonna go to the library..LOL..I've basically been there for over 24 hours this week..and do some more work.
Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!! (Can you believe that October is on Saturday???)

Wow, so this is the first time ever, that I have no idea how i did on my test. It was easier than I expected, but I know I totally blew like the last question (worth 15 points) I went about solving it a completely different way, but my answer kinda made since...hopefully partial credit will pull me through. I also did the EC worth 5 points before class, and I attempted the EC on the test, worth 10 points, and I know I got the proof right, just not the actual matrix itself..so who knows. Now its off to relax and try to enjoy my weekend without stressing about these tests (however, I am gonna be rethinking every part to that test for a while, and I know the suspence of my grade is gonna be lingering over me the entire weekend) but this is the class that if I completely bombed the test (like C- to F)I'm gonna drop the class and ask to audit it, taht way I only have 2 majorly stressful classes, not 3 and can take it again next semester (which would be better, because then Liz and CHina wouldn't be it in) Which by the way, i HATE it when people stay and wait for you after tests, I just want to go on and forget about it for a while..not talk about it. GRR..ok, naptime then hanging out with NOAH tonite :-D Something good to look forward to!
*EDIT* I didn't have to wait until the weekend, he had all of our tests (only 20) graded by 4pm...I got a 73. Which is definitly a C-.....didn't realize the decision to drop/not to drop was going to be so hard. And it doesn't help taht someone is rubbing it in my face that she got a 89. I didn't rub my calculus grade in yours, dont rub this one in mine *EDIT*

SOOO EXCITED!! I'm going to see Trace Adkins on October 22 at the State Fair with Erik!! (since we are the only ones that appreciate that country music!!) YAY for bonding with Erik and going to the State Fair!!
If anyone wants to go and see a different concert with me at the Fair, I'll list the dates and times and prices of the other shows I want to see...
Montgomery Gentry $18.00 Oct 14 7:30p
Dierks Bentley $5.00 Oct 15 7:30p
Josh Gracin $5.00 Oct 17 7:30p (OMG..Josh Gracin for only $5.00!!!)
Lee Ann Rimes and Phil Vassar $18.00 Oct 23 7:30p
However I"ll probably only go see Trace Adkins with Erik, but I'm soo excited! (not near as excited as I would ahve been if Rascal Flatts wouldn't have sold out and I could have gone there this past Saturday night..but oh well, happy just the same!)

| It's gonna be a good week. |
[20 Sep 2005|03:29pm] |
So after totally destresing over the weekend, I came to school on Sunday with a new perspective. I'm not gonna stress out (or I'm gonna try not to) because it seems that when I relax and focus aka..going to the library.. I do quite well. And to prove this I have gotten two B+'s on my past tests, Physics and Calculus 3. I also got my 2nd take home quiz back for Matrix theroy and got a 75..(which is such an improvement from a 30 on the first one) SO I think I'm just going to do the best I can, not stress and just get it done. My goal of making Deans list for this semester still isn't out of reach, it can be done, I've really just got to focus and get this shit done!
I am so thankful that I have my friends, you really help keep me calm and make me realize how good I am doing, and that one grade, won't affect my life. However I'm not handling some stuff to well right now (dealing with grades and other people I know in classes) so I hope that straightens out and that I'm not the one they get mad at since right now I'm doing better than they are.
Ok, now to go to the library so I can get some work done!!! :-D
It's gonna be a good week ...I'm determined to make it one, even though it might be hard. :-D

Gone to destress for the weekend. Hopefully when I return to G'boro on Sunday I wont be near as stressed when I left. If you need me, call the cell :)

[13 Sep 2005|12:21am] |
Maybe if I keep repeating this it will come true. I have so much to do by Thursday its completely overwhelming. That is why at 6pm (give or take 15 mins) I'm going to the library, probably 7th floor, and doing homework until around 10. Maybe later. I have to get this all done, but on a good note, I got a 86 on my Physics Test...completely beasted it!! :-D
To Do List
(3)Webassign #6 (wed)
(4)Take Home Quiz (thurs)
(5)Outline-Make A Wish Foundation (wed)
(6)310-1.6 problems (asap!)
(7)ELC reading and critical summary (thurs)
(8)310-1.7 problems (asap!)
(9)310-egrade assignment (sat..but i'll be gone, so thurs)
(10)flashcards (asap! test next week, and 50+ math definitions i must know)
(11)Study for calc test, so I can pass!!! (thurs)
(As you notice the list starts with 3, i've already done 1 and 2 (finding 8 interactive websites for LIS and doing calc homework 10.2))
Goodnight, and good night for tomorrow. I no longer have time for livejournal until probably wed.
