Well here we are more then half way through my absolutely insane semester at school, and it's still just as difficult!
I have school Mondays through Thursdays and work at Lola Bleu Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. To top it off, this last week I was called in on Teusday and Thursday to Lola Bleu to cover someone elses shift because the flu is going around harsh!
It did give me a feel for what my week will be like though, because I do now have another jobt at Men in Mind, where I will always be working on Teusdays and Thursdays, in the afternoons. Time for the people I want to spend time with is getting less and less, but at the same time school is coming first and then work and those people, like little french girl, middle child, and english girl, old/new friend, not to mention the new guy (no name picked yet).
Things with the new guy are good, surprisingly and slightly disturbingly good, which could explain the dream I had about him, but at the same time my dreams do have an unfortunate way of coming true, which is not good. All I know from the dream is that I'm going to be told "Something I don't want to hear." and the he is "So sorry!" WTF?!?!
I told middle child and english girl that I was worried about this, and both of them said not to worry. Then I told them I had had a dream about it and both were a little worried too.
Seriousness aside, a cute e-mail I got:
9 words women use
1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F**K YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.
Hope this made some people smile and made a few light bulbs go off!
Decoding it all...
I'm taking a few classes this term that have really got me thinking about the way in which men and women communicate with each other.
My sociology course is just about to start the chapter on gender, and I am quite frankly looking forward to it. My prof noted on the first day of class that for all the research out there about men and women, their differences and their similarites, and how they relate to each other, 80% is based on women, written by women, and/or relating to feminist issues. Whereas only 20% is centering around masculinity and it's implications in our society.
My prof thinks this is a great injustice and while she is not an 'anti-feminist' per se she will be mostly concetrating on the issue of masculinty, especially as it refers to sports and popular culture.
In my 'history of the english language' course we are already noticing the difference in how the men and women in the class are analysing sentences, and depicting their meanings.
With all this in reeling through my mind today, I came home to find a new e-mail from my cousin.

While this e-mail is pretty funny, and if you want to be ridicoulously sesitive, a little insulting, it has some truth to it.
Women don't say exactly what they mean. They don't say the first thing that comes into their mind. They think arduously and diligently about everything they say.
Coding and diciphering everything.
Men, in general do say what they mean. They don't nessecarily sugar-coat everything. What they say is more then likely what they mean.
No codes there.

I choose the twist ending
I choose "the miraculous twist at the end " because, I think we all wait for that and before we make it to that, we live our lives in the middle. When our lives become too much, we hold onto that ending with all our might, and believe as hard as we can that our wonderful, amazing, happily ever after ending is soon coming. The worst part is that we all know that the ending will never come. Not everyone is going to die in an amazing duel for the love of their lives. There simply aren't enought soulmates out there. Very few people die in a flourish of anything. Certainly a few people may die fighting for their country, or their true love and soul mate, but many more die alone, on a street corner in the cold, or in a bed in a home, their own true love gone many years before and they may not even remember their true loves, or their own name. Many die without a flourish, or a fireworks show, alone, with only the greatest mystery of all time awaiting them.
Do we create these amazing scenarios in our head to compensate for the fact that we really are afraid of what there is ahead of us? Nobody knows for sure what awaits us after death. That is the one constant of us all, that is what binds us together. Some people will have ideas about it. Some people will have beliefs about it. Some people will have true convictions about it, and be willing to kill because of those convictions. Kill for that unknown.
Do we simply create spectacular deaths in movies and in our minds as a way of looking forward to that one true constant?
I'm beginning to wonder why people fear death. It make as much sense to fear death as it does to fear gravity. It will happen, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Sure you don't know when it's going to happen, but you don't know as a baby whether you're going to fall on your ass today or not. You may never even know how you go, but it will happen, and you will go, so get over it, and enjoy the time you have RIGHT NOW, 'cause hey....you could die tomorrow.
Someone in the world will not wake up tomorrow morning, but don't mourn their deaths, it was always going to happen, it was just a surprise to you, right? You're not sad when you get surprised on your birhtday, right? So don't mourn saying they should have lived more, or you should have told them how you really felt.
I have an idea, tell them today, live today, never regret today.

Falling behind, like I always do!
School: I got an e-mail from my German instructor saying my last day to withdraw from the course was last saturday. I got it too late and I can't now, but the reason he was suggesting it was because I currently have 50% in the class.
Oh God!
I am as usual not doing well in school. I never have ben much f an education keener, but I am actually putting in effort now, and it jsut knida sucks that I'm not doing well. My effort going in in pratically 100 fold in amount, because I have never worked in school and now I am!
I am also reading an entire book tonight and writing a report on it. The report is due tomorrow, and clearly have not learned from my previous mistakes....I'm just faster at reading now!
I don't mind that tonight I have to stay in and completly cut myself off from the world for at least 5 hours to write my report, because in my heart of heart I know I should get used to it. I'm not going to change, and I'm sure I will have many, many more nights of cramming and last minute writing!
I haven't been to my psychology or biology classes in a while and I went on Monday. There were about 40 (from the origianal 80) in my Psychology, and 12 ( from 25) in my Biology Class. I actually felt like a better student for going! LOL
Work: I don't have a job....need I say more? Well I just might! I have applyed for jobs and tomorrow I'll be following them up, so I guess it's not all as bad as I think.
Friends: Still good surprisingly! At laest I think their all good. What witht the school part not going....I really lose track of them all. I think I might have a party at some point, brng them all back around. Play some movies, have some music, could be good?
Family: Always good, I can always fall back on them! It's strange how close knit we are, wehn some people don't even talk to their cousins or know them? They really are all cool, and I realize they can be scary to new comers, but I just love them! They are intense, but oh so amusing
Lovelife: What lovelife? Although I think that is of my own doing.
Oh God!
