A Few Things that Make Me Want to PUNCH something.

1. Continual changes of academic requirements. Instructors...please stick with the syllabus you outlined in the beginning. It's really not fair to add additional assignments during final weeks. (This not only makes me want to punch something..it also makes me grouchy and gives me the urge to scream).

2. Cleaning....at times it really, really makes me want to punch something..especially if I clean it and it is dirty two seconds later...although the finished product always makes me smile. I'm sure this is the case for everyone.

3. Exams...I hate studying for them. I could use some extra duty punching gloves this weekend (I have a huge final on monday)

4. Miscommunications. My mom and I are planning my wedding over the phone....this leads to some major miscommunications and at times can make me VERY frusterated. I love you mom!:)

5. People who stare at me when I'm using the gym equipment they want to be using. This is sooo rude....

6. Studying for tests longer than my classmates and then receiving lower grades...I hate that.

Now it's your turn to vent....what makes you want to punch something.

Words that Make Me FEEL smart.

1. Plebian
2. Constituents
3. Disconcerted

I think I've lost most of my vocabulary now that I am no longer an english major...:(

A Few More Things I Ponder...

1. If you had the choice of going to the bathroom in a dirty bathroom but with complete privacy or a sparkling clean bathroom with people right outside the door with no water to run and cover up noise...which would you choose?

mouii answer-I'd choose the private, yet not so clean bathroom....you can always wash your hands and hover....You can't plug peoples noses and ears for them....List your response to this one...I'd really like to know!!!

2. Would you rather get up really early every day or go to bed really late?

mouii answer-I'd rather get up early...I feel like I accomplish more that way.

3. Would you rather be a billionaire who lived in his/her parents basement or make an $20,000 dollars a year, but have your own apartment.

mouii answer...I'd take my own apartment...I love you mom and dad...but I'm ready to be on my own!!

4. Would you rather elope but get a huge diamond out of the deal, or have a huge wedding with no engagement ring ever?

my answer-I don't know..I really like my engagement ring!!!

Quirky things....

What are some quirky things you do or love? Here's a list of my quirky habits or loves...

1. For some reason I love to Swiffer. Swiffers were the most ingenious cleaning product ever invented.

2. I like to exercise, but I hate stretching. I am about as flexible as a wooden spoon.

3. I still sleep with a teddy bear...my arms need something to hug while I'm sleeping!!!....Cocoa Marshmallow will have to do until I say I do in 3 1/2 months (cocoa is a teddy bear I've had since I was 8)

4. I'd rather do dishes than cook a meal. I hate cooking.

Tell me some of your quirky habits or ect.

People May Say...

1. People may say that I'm a scaredy cat because I can't kill a spider, but I can reply "would you rather kill a spider or drain an ostomy daily?" I think draining the ostomy takes more guts.

2. People may say that I've been in school forever. My reply is "I'm just really well rounded"

3. People may say that I'm a health nut. My reply is that I'd really love to be a health nut...but cookies just taste so darn good!

4. People may say that I'm crazy because I check the locks three times before I leave, but I can honestly say that nothing has ever been stolen from my house or my car!

5. People may say that I'm addicted to Diet Coke with Lime...and my reply to that is....yep, I definitely am.

6. People may say that I'm a "goodie" because I don't have sex before marriage...my reply is that "I can say I'm STD FREE!!!" (of course I would explain the other benefits of abstinence also)


Tell me something that people say about you....and what your reply is. It's kind of interesting to think about.
