My day was going pretty well up until now. See, my online teacher for my Information Systems Mgmt. class is a wench, and I hope she gets killed. Here I have copied and pasted her calendar entry regarding our final:

FINAL COMING MAY 3rd. Read NOW!!! – posted by Dr. Louise B. Burky (IMFG300LB)

The Final exam for this course will be held Friday MAy 3rd in Eberly Auditorium at 7:45 p.m. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN TAKE THE FINAL, SO PLAN YOUR LIFE ACCORDINGLY. The exam is mandatory. The only excuse will be presentation of your death warrant in advance! There will be no excuses accepted, makeups or other irregularities of any kind. If you do not attend, you will receive a zero for the exam. You will be emailed topics to study as before. The exam will include multiple choice questions AND essay questions about the content I have emailed you in the course of answering weekly questions.

First of all, this is a Friday night, and second of all she had mentioned that it was probably going to be an online test, and then she just sends us this. WHATEVER!

SO anyways, besides the fact that I am really pissed off, before this point I had a pretty good day. Lets see, I started my day off by going to class, then I went on a tour of the Cogeneration Plant. For those of you who don’t know, the Cogeneration plant is a facility that provides all the electricity and heat for the IUP campus. I got to wear safety glasses and ear plugs. It was pretty cool until the molten steaming mud started attacking me. Molten steaming mud you say!!?? Well, we were outside the COgen plant, and there were these men doing something underground. There was a huge hole in the ground and steam was rising from it. Then I saw the shovel master truck scoop a large chunk of steaming mud out of the ground. THEN ….. the mud started flowing towards our group. I mean seriously, the mud was bubbling, and came within centimeters of my feet! WoW!

Well, after the COgen tour, I came home and took a nap. I woke up around 4 and went outside only to find that summer had arrived! It was HOT! Then 2 seconds later, Brian came, and we went in search of the Chinese woman that sells food outside of the HUB. We found her, but we were too late, and all her food was gone. Brian, still craving Chinese decided to go to China King, where we both indulged in some GOOD Chinese food.

I came home, and realized that I needed laundry detergent to do laundry, and so I went to Giant Eagle and got a huge tub of laundry detergent for a smashing deal of $2.99. That’s a pretty good price for Giant Eagle, the store that doesn’t even sell spaghetti sauce for under $1.89.

I also decided to start packing to move today. There is a large amount of junk in my kitchen now, and there is no room to walk anywhere. I just kind of stopped a few hours ago, when my friend Jamie messaged me. I haven’t seen/talked to her in a long time, and we were planning a reunion. Also, I would like to congratulate her on her new job as a Financial Sales Representative, and her soon to be new freedom.

I was also informed that IUP is apparently trying to keep the Gin Blossoms concert a secret, because the Penn got in trouble for the secret message they put on the back of Weds. paper, which was a bottle of Gin, a plus sign and a picture of a Blossom. What the hell?? IUP could really put themselves on the map nationwide by announcing this wonderful concert!!!! WHATEVER. I suck, and have to do laundry. BYE

The one with the CrossXRoads Mugs

Well I am finally making this my webpage. After about 8 other unfinished pages, I have finally decided that it is time to actually finish one. The others have broken links and every time I read my info on my page I think it is stupid, so I proceed to change everything, spending yet another 15 hours of time, and making it worse than when I had started.

Well this is the place that everyone gets to read about my fantastic life that you wish you had, so here I go:
Well, I’m still here at IUP. I’m going to make a construction paper chain like we did in elementary school, counting down to the last day. In May I will be moving to Pittsburgh with my two very favorite friends, Julie and Courtney. I’m very excited. I don’t really know what I will do this summer. Maybe I will get a job, but I don’t know where. I suppose I could just expand my button enterprise, but I might get lonely all day because Julie and Courtney both have jobs for the summer.

Yesterday, Bri Bri and I ventured down to Pittsburgh for some fun. Me, Brian, Julie and Courtney ventured to the supposed “Big Bash” but it wasn’t very entertaining, so we went to Joe Mama’s for some good food. My slab of meat and home fries were very good. Then we went to Crossroads so Brian and I could partake in the Mug Prophecies. We both bought 54 oz. mugs, so now me, Brian, Julie, Nate, and Courtney all have mugs. I am still waiting for the mug to do something. Well, while in Crossroads, I was trying to get the lid off to fill it up, and it mangled my finger….I’m not impressed yet though.

After the mug purchases, we went to the cool apartment and played a 98 degrees type game for eternities, and then Julie, Nate, and myself played Scattergories while Courtney and Brian made a cake! Then we all (excluding Courtney, who sat in her room), played Duck Hunt and Mario Cart. It was fun times! I can’t wait to live there, not that we will play fun games every single night, but at least it will be a lot more fun than the death I live now.

Now I’m hungry, so I think I will make some sgetti and study for my test I have tomorrow until Cheers insanity comes on!
Cheers 1st episode, and 3 part last episdoe ever!! Watch tonight on N@N starting at 10:30!!!!
WATCH IT!!!!
