If you ain't got no money, take yo broke ass home

I have my meeting today with my advisor. We're going to be talking about my interview with my mom's co- worker. He's a mediphysist. I don't think I spelled that correctly but whatevs. I learned a lot from that guy so I am way stoked about school. He said that I'm going to have to work a lot harder than most other students but I think I can handle that. Gracefully, not so much. But I need to learn perserverance (sp?).

I'm going to have to take assessment tests to measure my mathmatic skills. So I printed some study guides off and nearly lost my mind. It's been a very long time since I've tried to add or subtract fractions. Let alone dividing and muliplying them. But I reached back far in my mind and somehow, I was able to do it. That kind of proved to me that I can do anything, even if its something that I'm scared of.

Work is going well I suppose. Things seem to be improving with my manager so I am hopeful that she and I will have a better relationship.

Dan and I are doing well. He's having some girl from South Africa stay with him for a few nights so I'm kind of feeling uneasy. I don't know what kind of relationship they have; did they date when he was out there or was it something less? I can say that I'm happy in my ignorance of not knowing these things but at the same time, it leaves a lot to the imagination.

My cave mate Nichole/Knicole/Nicole has been off the hook lately. She makes me laugh everyday which makes this place a lot more bearable (sp?). She referred to me as her cell mate the other day which made me laugh.

On the subject of mate, I read someone's blog from a while ago and it was called "Things I hate about my flat mate". It's not up to date (I assume he found another room mate) but it's chalk full of hilariousness (not a word, I know). I highly recommend it. Did I spell "recommend" correctly?

I've been listening to Fergie for most of the day; I love her, she's so badass. I also love that Timbaland (sp?) song that features Nelly Furtado and Justin.

**Final thought**
A guy at work today called me, Nicole, and Sherry the "smoke-ettes". That made me smile.

Birthday

My birthday is tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. It's hard to think about right now because I'm so hungry. I skipped lunch. Bad move on my part. I think I want Noodles for dinner.

I have tomorrow and Thursday and Friday off. I'm going to get all of my stuff ready for school. My mom is making me take these assesment tests that tell you what you'd naturally be good at and what you'd be interested in doing. I'm actually pretty excited.

I'm off. Happy birthday to me!
