i was a bad girl today and ditched school. i went to work this morning at 6:30 and had the hardest time staying awake, i thought there is no way i can sit for 3 hours straight in the same big lecture hall and listen to the same boring crap as always without making a fool of myself by falling asleep in there. plus i have friends that take the same classes so hopefully they went and i can just get the notes from them.
i have 5 tests in 5 days. two on thursday and 3 on the following monday. 4 of them will be extensive, one is only over a couple chapters. my weekend is going to suck.
i went to the mvd this morning and sat there for over an hour and finally got my driver's license. there are some interesting characters at the mvd. that place was packed. and i had never thought about this before, but there was a large amount on non-english speaking people. more asian than anything else. and i bet that is the hardest one to accomodate. it is probably a lot easier to find a spanish speaking employee or someone to translate than one that understands chinese. i was in the first line waiting to get a form to fill out when there was an asian couple in front of me. I am not sure what they were trying to get done but they did not understand what the lady at the desk was telling them. she would say - you need to take your car to the inspection window outside and she would point where to go. the couple would smile and nod but not move. then they would start pointing at their paperwork. the employee was getting very frustrated and she was all - need a damn interpreter and then said something to the asian lady like you need to speak english. the asian lady replied, oh i speak english, and the employee goes - well you need to learn to understand it. you could tell the asian lady was a bit confused and almost hurt. but then a bit later i saw them get back in line and ask the same questions. before long they found someone to translate for them. it was a mess. they were still in that line by the time i was all done.
i was helped by a total of 6 people or so and they varied in degrees of politeness. some of them were very happy to be where they were, while others looked like any second they were gonna pull out a shotgun and go postal on us.
my picture is decent. the lady had me look at a specific spot and it isn't directly in the camera so it looks weird. but it is way better than my 16 year old picture (yep, that's the last time i had to do all this and in globe there was like a total of 5 people there and 3 were employees).
i'm glad i got it over with. then i came home, watched pirates of the carribean (we have a billion movies, but i never know which one to watch), cleaned my room and folded last weeks laundry finally. then i attempted to study for my management test. ended up falling asleep for 2 hours. did a little studying after that. decided to blog before my tv lineup starts.
i am sooo bad. linc and i only have basic cable so we get like 5-6 channels worth watching, but i somehow manage to find something to watch every night. mondays it is prison break on fox, then medium on nbc,csi miami is on somewhere in here on cbs but we only catch that sometimes, just to make fun of horatio. tuesdays - gilmore girls, biggest loser (i wanna lose 30lbs in one week, where do i sign up?), then the office (linc loved that show so much when they played the reruns that he bought the dvd and has watched it at least 3x since), and if i am feeling like sleep means nothing, i stay up for law&order svu. wednesdays - hmm can't think of what i watch on wednesdays, i know there must be something. of course there is always a law & order to catch. love law & order. thursdays, ahhh thursdays give me the motivation to get through the week. i love smallville and they have finally put it on a night that i won't feel guilty for not doing homework. plus the new season is starting up, i am sooo excited. then also on thursday is er, but i only sometimes stay up for that. wow - i am a loser.
in case anyone cares - kayla might - this is how my work/school schedule is.
monday: up at 5am, work 6:30am-9:30am, class from 10:40am-4:30pm, then drive home in traffic, home by 5:30pm, homework, tv, dinner for linc, wind down by 8pm, get ready for the next day,bed by 9pm (if nothing good is on tv)
