Today was Ruby's last day of her beginning obedience class. She threw up a little bit, once, when we were in Woodinville on our way there. She didn't throw up on the way home. Yay! She's improved! She didn't even poop this time.

I'm feeling like whatever I do it's wrong. At least, that's how my mom is making me feel right now. I picked out some Healthy Choice TV dinners when my dad and I were at Fred Meyer's that looked yummy. I was in charge of fixing dinner. I let it sit a bit too long to cool down, so everybody was complaining that it was cold. Then my mom complained about how bland the vegetables were. And she wonders why nobody else ever willingly fixes dinner!?
I picked up a 3 pack of bully sticks at PetCo earlier this evening for my puppy Ruby. They're great for Ruby because they keep her really occupied and quiet while she works on them, and they last her quite a while. As I went into the living room Spencer, my brother's ACD/Blue Heeler, was busy chewing away on one of the bully sticks! We were having a bit of a standoff trying to get him to release the bully stick. Then my mom complained about the bully sticks, because one of her co-workers champion Corgi's broke a tooth while chewing a bully stick. When I told her that I was only going to be giving Ruby the bully sticks while she's a puppy, and that Ruby was currently chewing on a bully stick instead of chewing on the coffee table she came back with a 'there's no difference' or something of that nature. The gist of it being, that she thinks that as soon as Ruby is finished with her bully stick, she'll go right back to chewing on the coffee table.

I started the regular ballet class that I'm going to take today. It's ballet 3/4. I'm also signed up for the pointe class, but I'm not quite in shape enough for that. So I only took the one class tonight. I'm hoping to take both the ballet and pointe classes next week. I'll just have to see how I'm doing.

Bah, I can't think of anything to write about at this moment.

Oh, a classmate and the WAN instructor finally helped me to start to figure out subnetting.

Another day with a headache. I've had a headache since around 3pm today. I took an Excedrin Migraine, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Today was a lazy day. I didn't really do anything at home. I watched some stuff that I'd recorded on the DVR and deleted the stuff.

I've started looking more at the job websites. I think I'm going to revamp my resume a bit, or at least do a second/third resume that's revamped. I'm thinking I'll do a resume that shows past paid and volunteer positions from most recent going back, instead of separating them.

It looks like Ruby is going to need surgery. Poor baby girl. Ruby's turning into an expensive little puppy. Hopefully, this will be the only expensive medical thing she'll ever need.

My brother is very thankful to me. I was rinsing off the icky towel and toy that Ruby got urpy and poopy on from Sunday, and afterwards was using the blue bags to pick up the poop, I got into a clean the yard kick and picked up about 10-13 bags of poop. Most of it was from my brother's dog. It's an icky task, but somebody has to do it, and at least the bag protects my hand from getting dirty.

I finally put a picture up for my Twitter account. I tried to put the same one up that I use for this account, but it didn't work very well. Twitter prefers the pictures to be more square than rectangular/tall.

I was chatting with my friend, Kari, earlier. I miss her, haven't seen her in such a long time.

I studied for about 40 minutes for my PC Tech II class, for this evening. I wish I had more time to study for the test for this evening. I pray that my powers of retention for my memory works awesome. Otherwise I don't think that I will do very well on this first test. But the rest of the tests should make up for it, I hope.

School Stuff:
Missing a day of class sucks! I'm totally confused when it comes to my Network Server Admin class. All because I missed one class last week. Starting to feel a little bit like crying. I really just want to reload Windows Server 2008 using the 64bit version on the virtualbox.
I can't remember what the rule of thumb for studying for classes is. Is it study 1 hour for every hour you're in class? Study 1.5 hours for every hour you're in class? Or study 2 hours for every hour that you're in class? Depending on which it is that would mean I need to study anywhere from 15 hours a week to 30 hours a week. Or 2.5 hours per class to 5 hours per class. 5 hours per class sounds quite overwhelming.

I need another part-time job. I called my work today, and was informed that it's pretty darn slow, and he's hoping/expecting it to pick up in the spring. That would mean I'd be going 5-6 months without any income! That doesn't really work for me at this point in time. I have too many bills and too little savings for that to work. So I'm back on job hunt mode. Oh joy.
