So this morning I walked out of my apartment and there was a doe (a deer, a female deer) standing at the end of my driveway. She just stood there staring and blinking slowly at me as I screamed because I didn't expect to see a random mammal standing at the end of my driveway. She was small and light brown. I talked to her before she jumped off into the woods joining her two friends.
I realized the other night as I faced Aisle 2 at Hy-Vee that I've never had Brach's Maple Nut Goodies. I would like some and the first person to get me some will get a big kiss!
I worked quite a bit this weekend and will do the same this coming weekend as Frei didn't call me last night to tell me if we already had plans for Friday. Anyway, I got called into work early on Monday so my boss (cool Mark that remotely either looks like Andrew Volpe or Billy Corgain) could go home early. He said that him and Glenn had a full out search for my phone number seeing as that the one in the system is disconnected. I ran into Glenn later and we spent some time as we normally do insulting customers. I don't know why but we always pick the time when we are helping someone or about to to interrupt and make some chit-chat. Monday's conversation is as follows:
Me-Thanks for ratting me out Glenn by giving Mark my number.
Glenn-Well, I though you could use the hours.
Me-I could. But I was in the middle of tanning when Mark called.
Glenn-Why don't you just go join a sorority?
Me-I think I will right after I bleach my hair blond.
Then his customer left and he said, 'I think I insulted her.' And I think he did.
If you haven't read it yet, read my other post from today.
Glenn and I were also talking about volunteering to help the Katrina victims. I have no money to give them. But I though it would be cool to volunteer to go down to Louisiana or Mississippi and physically help. Glenn was like you actually could since I am in classes for no real reason. And I thought about it but then I realized that even if I was doing this awesome thing with my time and abilities that I wouldn't get paid for it. And I have no money saved up just to pay my bills for a month. So if anyone would like to support me for a month, I will quit school, go on leave from the Vee and go help the hurricane victims. Financial support would include the following bills-rent-$325, electricity-$25, cell phone-$50, gas-$25, car payment-$140, insurance-$80 and possibly student loan-$140.
I am getting really bummed out about being in school. Its more than just the whole financial aid/lack of books fiasco but I hate walking to class alone and not having my friends in my classes. Last year, it was different. I was relegated to one corner of campus and was a cool senior. Now I have to go everywhere, alone. It sucks. I hate that I'm not in vet school and that all of my friends are. I hate that they will be so far ahead of me by the time I finally get in. I hate that they are making new friends and that I feel like I am getting left behind. (I also secretly love that they are making new friends and that I get to be their friend too.) Yes, this very well may have been a plea for sympathy. But it doesn't stop the fact that I really, really hate school. More than ever and I love college.
I love shadowing Dr.Farmer. He is a really cool guy. Last week, we went into Amish country. It seriously was like a scene from the Harrison Ford movie 'Witness'. I see all kinds of neat things and he tells me things without me asking. And we cut the head off of a dog to get it tested for rabies!
