So... I logged into my blog today and I found that the template had been changed. (What the...?) I was kind of annoyed, and a little nervous. (Did someone other than me change the template? Weird...). I went to the "Pick a New Template" page and I found, to my dismay, that the template that I had had before was no longer there. This explained the unexpected and unwanted template change, but I'm still kinda huffy about it... I liked the old one. Moomph!
I guess I'll have to get used to this new one.

Mmm... pizza
Oh man, I love the end of the semester. It's when all (or most all) of the teachers are at their nicest (this is AFTER your class final, of course; before the final they are unbearable) and they see fit to bring food for all their poor, overworked students.
I love free food.
So, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have my religion classes (B.O.M. and Institute Choir) and I think that the Institute was giving out donuts to all the religion classes because there was a box on the table in my B.O.M. class (I don't know if anyone had one though)... anyway, I got food in both of my classes. My B.O.M. teacher made us all some delicious homemade cinnamon rolls (still not as good as Mom's, however) and in the choir we all got pizza. And I got the last donut from the box that was left from the previous class. Heh heh! Mine-all-mine-all-MINE!
Yeah, it was great. I didn't have to bring a lunch today. So good.

Slightly Guilty
*sob* I confess! I did it! I BROKE THE COLOR PRINTER IN THE LAB ON CAMPUS!
No, I didn't REALLY break it, but I feel responsible...
I was working late last night, and some lady came up and asked me which tray the color printer printed from. I said I didn't know for sure, but we both figured it was the top one... seeing as how the bottom one didn't have any paper in it. This lady had a piece of very glossy paper in her hand, and I should have guessed what was going to happen right then and there. But I was kind of out of it (working for six consecutive hours can do that to you), and I thought that the glossy piece of paper was just glossy, and not twenty times thicker than the normal paper used in the color printer.
Much to my consternation, however, a few minutes later the color printer made this horrendous noise that could be heard by all in the computer lab (and which one person said sounded like "someone blowing their nose") and then the printer became deathly quiet and refused to print anything else. I pulled up the trusty computer software that lets me see how things are going in the labs and it told me what I already feared... that there was a jam in the output bin. (Great. Just great.)
Now, the printers in the main computer lab sit on a high table which makes them almost impossible to reach for a person just barely topping five feet. Especially this color printer. Getting to the output bin was beyond my capacity, so I just sat for the last twenty minutes of my shift trying to pacify the concerned users who were attempting to print from the color printer. *Sigh*
But other than that, I'm okay. School is almost over, and I am overjoyed. (Now all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do over the summer. Heh.) :)

Techical Difficulties
Um, there used to be a different post here, but I decided to get rid of it. There is now nothing here.
Grr and more grr
By "Grr" I mean that I am rather put out and am about to go insane.
Well, not today, maybe, but on other days at this time I have to exercise all of my self-control so as not to pull my hair out.
I work in the computer lab on my college campus, and no, it is not the most glamorous job in the world. But for me and my still-living-at-home situation, it is just about right. (Thanks to my brother-in-law for hooking me up with it!) It was just about right, that is, until I got landed with a 6 hour shift and my boss implemented the "Don't play games or watch TV shows or cartoons or things like that" rule. Now, I'm a big girl, so I won't break down and cry, but when you have to sit for 6 hours in a rather small computer lab, and you can't relieve the boredom with a few of your favorite TGS episodes, it starts getting to you.
Yes, and I know that there are people out there (myself included, occasionally) who will say, "You have to know where your boss is coming from. He sets the rules (he's your boss) and you should honor those rules. Try finding something else to do." Well, it's hard finding something else to do when you've already read every book that you own at least once, your homework is most-if-not-all done, and ALMOST EVERY FREAKING WEBSITE IS BLOCKED.
Once again: Grr.

A bag of Funyuns and a trusty laptop
What do you do when you don't have any homework and you have two hours to kill? That's right, eat Funyuns and put more unnecessary posts on your blog.
Y'know, if I were home, I could be, say, reading a good book, or riding my bike, or making dessert or something slightly more constructive. (But only slightly.)
I just had a thought: what about when the semester ends and I may or may not have to work? I'll probably have endless hours to kill, and what'll I do then?
Hmm... the possibilities are endless.
Hey, if you have any good suggestions, hit me with 'em!

Another Day, Another Post
Woo-hoo! It's the end of the semester in about 1.5 weeks! Cannubelieveit? No, neither can I. And you'd think that I would be working my face off with finals and stuff, but I find that I have more and more time to do absolutely nothing at all. (I think that's why I even created this blog in the first place.)
Meanwhile everyone else that I know is about to drown from the enormity of their own separate workloads, and I'm thinking to myself: "What's the matter with me? I have no life!!!"
Heh, enjoy it while you can, I say.
