CHAOS in full swing.

So as I was opening this up to start typing the boss calls. I need to make a phone call to none other than cute boy that I geeked out on the other day. For business purposes, obviously. Then he asked me why I'd never called him about financial stuff. He's coming to the office on Tuesday to discuss.

... weird. I'll update you.

So this week is pure insanity for me. Classes started, Fan Fair is here, and I'm moving. And you know, working, trying to sort out car stuff (which has to be done by Friday when they take back my rental or I'm carless...), etc. At least it's gorgeous out. Sun puts me in a good mood.

Belmont, once again, made financial aid way more complicated than it needed to be... and informed me at 10am yesterday that my classes would be dropped, as my loan would not be certified until later this week. I lost it. I went up there, told them they needed to keep my schedule, and... they actually did. So one by one, the things that could keep me from graduating are disappearing. Just over 2 months!

I've made a serious dent in packing. Which is good, because I plan on hauling the majority of my stuff out TOMORROW. And, so far, the only injury sustained was minor (I managed to tip a bookshelf forward, and every single shelf slid out onto my foot... it was awesome).

My dog is really bitter about the whole situation. With unofficial boy roommate gone and the apartment in utter chaos, he's a bit off kilter. He was in fine form last night. To begin with, Michelle and I discovered "protest poop" under the table. I don't really get the whole "I'm mad at you so I'm going to poop on the floor" response a lot of animals have. I mean, honestly, can we just imagine what would occur if humans had those retaliation tactics? Ugh. Gosh, why did I even go there...

Anyway, so after we get cleaned up, we were packing up comforters into vacuum storage bags (which, PS, are the BEST INVENTIONS EVER), and he pointedly walks over, farts in our general direction, and promptly returns to his corner of the couch.

Then it's dinner time. M is eating in the living room. The dog wanders over, and makes this gagging noise, right over her plate. It seriously looked like he was pretending to throw up on her plate. We laughed at him, naturally, and he was seriously embarrassed. He walked around M's chair, turned his back to us, pushed his ears back, and avoided us. Generally a pretty useless creature, he is at least immensely entertaining.

Sorry this post got so gross. I'll try to avoid the bathroom humor from now on.

Is it strange...

... that I have to fight my dog for my pillow every night?

Random Installments: Episode 2

1. I'm working the CMT awards on Monday.  It's gonna be a long day and I really couldn't care less about most of it... except I really hope I get a chance to meet Miley Cyrus.  Is that strange?  I don't care, I kinda wanna be Hanna Montana when I grow up. I will totally geek out and try and get a picture.  Don't doubt me.

2. I will never understand why they have to teach me calculus.  Ever.  Nothing any teacher or anyone else can say will ever help me rationalize why I need to understand the quadratic method or derivatives or why I need to be able to find the slope of a tangent line.  Really, I cannot even get past the whole multiplying letters thing.  This is a huge amount of unnecessary stress for me.

3. My dog is jealous of my computer.  3 times last night I was sitting on my couch writing, and he would charge across the room, stare at me and whine for a second, then proceed to pounce on the top of my computer and slam it shut.  He was very deliberate about his intentions - and he achieved his goal, I suppose, because I played with him every single time he managed to slam it shut on my fingers. After I yelled at him, of course.

4. Leaving a two hour gap between my MWF classes was the most brilliant thing I have done since entering college.  Seriously.  At first I thought it was stupid because I had a huge empty slot to fill three days a week, but in reality I have these glorious two hours to sit on my butt and blog, eat, nap, facebook stalk you, do homework.

5. Anyone remember this show? It's kind of creepy now that I look back at it.  My favorite part is where they misspell "medicine".
