Haha, I'm cracking up laughing here, just thinking about what I did in class.

Justin came over this afternoon. I discovered that we are out of Pepsi. While I was finishing up some homework Justin basically napped. Around 6:30pm we headed into school. We delivered a new printer to Diane. I also used this chance to get online and e-mail my completed homework to Keith.

Yay! I found my parking pass for school. I feel kind of dumb, it was in my wallet the entire time. Oops!

I've been having trouble concentrating/focusing in this class. Taking a 20 mg Ritalin doesn't seem to be cutting it. It's annoying when Diane wants us to multi-task. I can really only focus on doing one assignment at a time. At least, with a CD-R from Justin, I was able to get the BartPE disc made. I was able to create the disc on my first try, I just needed Justin's help along the way.

Tomorrow is the beginning of week number 2 of summer quarter. I wasn't very good about getting up this morning. I didn't really make it to church. I think I have an assignment that I need to finish for class, but I can't really remember off of the top of my head. I should start using my daily planner/scheduler again/better.

Well, mom and dad are back now. They have such lovely timing, too. They got home right around the time that I should have been heading over to Lake Stevens Assembly of God for a jewelry/party type thing. Oh well, I did my best to be helpful to my parents.

Mom and dad are coming home tomorrow.

Well, I made it through the first week of summer quarter. Now I just have to focus on finishing up my homework for chapter 6 of Python.

It's been quite a while since I've been at my normal volunteer shift at the Everett Animal Shelter. I've been volunteering during the mid-afternoon shift lately. Today was the first day in a long time that I got there early enough to see Paula. There was a gorgeous little silver and cream long-haired male kitten there. He was quite vocal about letting us know that he was there. Once I went into his pod, he quieted right down, and just snuggled up against me. He just wanted attention.

I thought today was supposed to be a not so great day, weather wise?! I wish I'd gotten up earlier. If I'd gotten up earlier, I could have eaten breakfast, taken a shower, and gotten dressed before my brother and his girlfriend arrived. I was in my pj's all morning long. I helped Randi with getting ready by offering up her choice of body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hair care products, makeup, and even shoes.

Randi did help me a bit with my own clothing selection.

I'm proud of myself for the amount of studying I have done today. I read chapter 6 in my Python book today. By the time Justin came over I was almost finished reading the chapter. He didn't have to wait too much longer for me to finish reading the chapter, and then typing up the problems. Justin decided to enjoy the lovely weather by reading on the back deck.

First day of summer quarter! I'm in class with Joey, Justin, and lots of other former classmates. (Unfortunately, I'm typing this up on June 30th, so I don't really remember too much from this day)

Happy Father's Day!

The concert last night was good. Spending time with Otay was awesome! Got to see She Wants Revenge and the Psychedelic Furs.

This morning I was reminded that I should always have at least 1 extra days supply of medication for my ADD with me at all times. I didn't have an extra days supply with me last night, and I spent the night at Otay's so I could spend my time with him, this made the drive home this morning quite interesting. ADD and driving do not mix! What I mean by this is that unmedicated ADD and driving don't mix. Normally I'm fine with driving, but then again, normally I'm medicated. Oh well, this was probably one of the only times where I've ever done this. I won't be repeating it. Otay informed me that he has Wednesday and Thursday off, so he might be coming up for a visit. That would be so awesome!

Happy Father's Day to all of the father's out there. Sadly, my dad's in Seaside, Oregon on vacation with my mom. I did meet up with my brother at our grandparents home and delivered the father's day card that my mother had picked up for her father. Chris and I spent a bit of time visiting, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies. After Chris left for home Uncle John stopped by. I haven't seen Uncle John in an extremely long time. I showed him pictures of my puppy.

Such a busy day today! I meant to get up early enough so that I could make it to the beginning/intermediate ballet class at PNB. Any other Saturday I would have had enough time to get ready for ballet class, but not this Saturday. I was ready to go by around 9:26am, and class would be starting at 10am. I decided that I'd stay home and get ready for the rest of the day.

I walked Ruby, so I was proud of myself for that one. If I hadn't walked her in the morning, she wouldn't have gotten her walk in today. Missing ballet class also gave me more time to get ready for helping out with the PNB student performance and the concert/date with Otay.

I volunteered to help with the Pacific Northwest Ballet School's annual performance. I would receive 5 free classes. All I had to do was help hand out leotards and make sure the girls were being quiet when they were heading for the stage. We also accompanied the students up to the balcony prior to the intermission, since all of the students would be watching the rest of the show which consisted of dances performed by the top two most advanced levels.

Watching the most advanced dancers dance really made me yearn to improve my ballet dancing.

I was planning on trying to go to ballet, but I just wasn't feeling well enough. My body is being weird. I walked my puppy before we all went to Costco in Smokey Point. Otay left me a voice message, and sent me a text message. He invited me to a concert for tomorrow evening. We're going to see She Wants Revenge at the Showbox SoDo. Yay, I get to see Otay!

Again, go me for walking Ruby again. My bum is sore from all of the quick walking that I'm doing with her. I discovered that when you work a volunteer shift that ends after closing at the Everett Animal Shelter you now have to exit using one of the back doors, and walk around to where you parked. I wish I was all better, but I still have a bit of a cold. This cold is sure hanging on.

I was good and walked Ruby today. That makes two days in a row that I have walked her. We also worked on training. I keep thinking to myself about how they say it takes 21 consecutive days to make something a habit. So I am going to attempt to force myself to walk her once a day for 21 days. Hopefully after 21 days, I'll no longer need to force myself.

On my walk with Ruby I ran into Beneth. Her sister had just left, and while we were talking her mom drove by, then her dad pulled up behind her mom.

Today I worked on some training with Ruby, and also took her on a walk. We worked on getting her used to the clicker, and her name. We also worked on a few basic commands; 'watching', 'all done', 'sit', and 'down'. She's doing such a good job on lying down when I ask her for a down. There was a time that she couldn't/didn't do 'down' at all.

Today is Bucky's, Bubba's, and Emma's 6th birthday! They are still my kitten's, though. I miss Bella.

Karen said she would be another clutter buddy/accountability partner for me. So, my goal for this week is to organize another drawer in my bedroom.

Got some more organizing items for my room today. Also got a little bag to hold Ruby's training treats in, and a bully stick for Ruby. Woke up this morning with a stuffed up nose, feeling kind of miserable. Felt a bit better after a few hours, though.

Oops, for some reason I was thinking that the 12th was on Sunday. Today was Eliza's graduation party. I was planning on going, but I thought it was tomorrow. Instead I stayed home and read my beginning web pages book. At least I got quite a bit of reading done for that.

Yay, I got the Accord back! Boy was that expensive! At least they vacuumed out the interior, washed the exterior, and detailed it.

Well, I did as much as I could on the final. I'm just working on other elements of my school work now.

Argh! This is so frustrating! I'm trying to do a practice exercise, but I can't get any decent internet connection. For the most part, I don't need internet connection to do these tutorial assignments, but this one is the exception. I attempted to do it using dial-up and my mom's computer, but it didn't work correctly. At least I'm starting on studying the section on tables. That should help me tomorrow when it's time to finish up the final.

Well, my car got towed to Klein Honda this afternoon. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to study for my final, and put together notes to use. I probably should have studied some more, but I ran out of time.

Well, the clutch is completely gone on the Accord now. It will most likely have to be towed into the dealership tomorrow. That way it'll be there for it's service appointment on Wednesday morning.

Well, I didn't make it to church this morning. I was too exhausted from yesterday, and felt that my time needed to be focused on school stuff.

My mom was kind of annoying me today. It was great that she let me come with her into her office to work on some school work. There was lots of room to spread all of my books out, and kind of organize them. I started writing down a list of reading and assignments that I need to do. That way, as I complete them, I can cross them off my list, or erase them. My mom's work computers have dated internet browsers. They are running Internet Explorer 6! Internet Explorer 8 is what I'm used to when I have to use Internet Explorer. Even IE7 would have been better, because IE7 was when they introduced tabbed browsing to their users.

My throat is now sore. I think I'm getting Chris's cold. Not cool, because now I'm starting to feel miserable and sick. I get really annoying when I'm sick.

Not being able to get any high speed internet access is super annoying. Assignment #3 for my CS120 class is also really annoying. I completed the first part, but now I can't figure out how to make the second part work. Mom says that we can go to her office tomorrow so I can e-mail stuff there. I'm going to move on to a different assignment, and come back to #3 later.

It feels like we just got home. My parents and I went to Satavy's for Kameron's 1st birthday party. He had 2 cakes! Lots of food, lots of fun things. It was such a beautiful day for the party, too. On our way down we went and got a new air filter for the Accord.

When we got home my mom got mad at my dog because it would appear that she chewed on one of the roses, and broke the portion that had a lot of new growth and buds on it. I took Ruby for a walk.

Yes, I finally completed my CS120 midterm. Now it's time to head home and get ready to go to the Mariner's game. I was exhausted this morning.

I hate school, and the stress it causes me. Although, it's my own fault that it causes me so much stress. In a roundabout way, that just implies that I hate myself. That's old news.

I feel like I'm going to be sick, that is how stressed out and depressed I'm feeling right now.

I wish there was another full week of school left. Or something that would allow me more time to get things finished, and completed.

I made it to ballet this morning! I wish the Accord wasn't broken.

Well, we survived our presentation for beginning web pages. Although it appears that our classmate messed with the CSS stylesheet, so the pages didn't look very good, and were hard to read. Plus, that group member didn't even show up for class!
