I'm changing my profession!

Yup. I still haven't found a job. My account at WaMu is severely dwindling down to nothing. To top it off, I was denied unemployment insurance by the evil nice and unhelpful people at Oregon Unemployment. You see, apparently you can't go to school while collecting unemployment. So, I am considering something that I thought I would never do.

Yup, I'm joining the circus. I'm not sure what my talent will be, but I'm thinking that before you know it, I will be the most famous elephant rider trapezist lion tamer ticket collector you've seen on this side of the Mississippi. Wish me luck as I embark on my new journey!

I don't think I've ever hated life quite as much as now.

I very much wish that I could go back about a week. Maybe then, I would be able to change the outcome of things a little bit.

1. My sister's hearing. It didn't go exactly as planned. It's not over. And it was just supposed to be about division of assets. But my sister's ex is trying for full custody of the kids now.

2. My sister's daughter who has been living with her since February, said a whole bunch of things about my sister, none of them good, in court on Friday. Then on Saturday, she came home at 12:30 with the kids sleeping on the couch and made a huge scene saying how she couldn't live there anymore. Even though my sister has done nothing wrong. I was there for the tail-end of the ordeal and I've never seen my niece like that before. She was yelling horrible things at my sister. And she wouldn't even talk to me. Usually, I can get her to talk to me. I asked her if she wanted to go outside and talk about it. She didn't want to. She just kept saying over and over, "It's too late. I just have to get the stuff RIGHT now. All of it." My poor sister broke down as soon as my niece left.

3. I might have to testify in the continuation of the hearing as to what I saw.

4. My brother was assaulted last night. By 4 guys. Apparently a friend (now known as "#1") of his called him for help because he was getting jumped by 15 guys. My brother and a few of his friends went to help #1 get out of the situation. When they arrived, #1 was being chased by the 15 guys. My brother and his friends started chasing them, when 4 of them turned on my brother. One of them had brass knuckles and punched him in the head, knocking him unconcious. They then proceeded to kick him in the ribs. He has a concussion and 4 staples in his head and severe bruising in the ribs. Why don't guys think to call the cops instead of trying to handle it themselves??

I just want to go back to bed. This week has been exhausting.

Gah! Life..

Gah...I just wrote an entire blog and then deleted it. I have to be careful what I put on my blog and myspace right now. I have a feeling I have tabs being kept on me and what I say about my sister's divorce hearing.

That's pretty much all that's been on my mind the last few days. I'll keep you posted as to the results of the hearing on August 5 as soon as I know.

so....I've been getting ragged on by a certain someone *cough, cough* Stacy *cough* that I haven't posted in almost a month. In my defense, school has been an absolute NIGHTMARE.

I'm soooo sick of dealing with people who think that having a job and living in the 'real' world is sooo much harder ya-da ya-da ya-da. Shut up! You have no idea how hard college is--with the exception of Bryan and Melina. College sucks and here's why.

Last week this is what I had due--not including working at my job at Morgan Stanley:

1. A well-practiced speech on the effects of salvage logging due on Monday
2. A mid-term over statistics that I had to majorly study for because I missed a week and a half of class when I was mondo sick. due on Tuesday
3. A rough draft on salvage logging due Wednesday.
4. A 10-12 minute presentation on Software Piracy due on Wednesday.
5. A 12 page research-paper on the effects of piracy on our society due on Wednesday.
6. A 5-6 page paper on the effects of Salvage Logging on the Biscuit fire due on Friday.

AND I had to prepare for

1. A 20-minute group presentation on Salvage logging due this coming Wednesday

So next time some all high and mighty people who think they know that the 'real' world is so much harder than college. I would dare them to go back to college full time and work part time and see just how hard it is. It's ten times more stressful.
