In dire need of a vacation.

I can't believe tomorrow is March already! I mean, I realize that February is short and all, but I feel like New Year's was only a few weeks ago. The older I get, the faster time is going.

That being said, I need to get out of here! Only fifteen days until Seattle and THANK GOD! I've been saving like a champ and have been researching stuff to do... this far, I've come up with the Space Needle (duh), Pike Place Market, Nordstrom store #1 (duh again), the Point Defiance Zoo, and this really cool place called Experience Music Project. There's exhibits about musicians, music styles, and all kinds of stuff. In a nutshell, I'm pretty pumped.

Other than that, there's really not a whole lot else going on in my life... School is still happening, and I'm a workaholic.

A Fresh Change!

Well, when we last spoke, I was super pissed at my advisor for NOT advising and essentially forcing me into a stupid minor that I had no interest in.

Well F that! I changed my major!

As of Thursday, I am now a Family Finance, Housing, and Policy major. YAY!

What that means for me: a competent, caring advisor, a major that has more career opportunities, less research, more dealing one-on-one with people, and a better, more positive outlook on life for me. I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders when I switched to this new major, and I am super excited to get the ball rolling! I'll finish out this semester in the boring a$$ classes I'm in now, and starting with this summer, I'll be taking some really good classes!

Wish me luck!

What am I paying for?!

Today just pissed me off.

Up until about 2:45pm today, I had a declared minor in Marketing to complament my Psychology major. Through no help of my advisors, however, I found out that nonbusiness majors can only declare an Entreprenurial Studies or General Business minor. Sweet. The people who's job it is to make sure that I am taking the correct classes and to ensure that I am on track to graduate neglected to inform me that my minor choice wasn't an option, despite the fact that they were fully aware of it and we discussed it on multiple occasions. So, now I've been forced to become a Criminal Justice Studies minor, because it was essentially my best option (and one of only a few). Now, because of their stupid mistake and oversight, I am in classes this semester that I don't need and will only work as elective credit (which I don't need), and my graduation date has been pushed back to Spring of 2011 - which puts me a whole f*cking year behind instead of the 1 semester that I was originally delayed. This takes into account me taking 6 and 5 credits for this and next summer, respectively.

My only question here is: what exactly are these people paid to do?!

Super Bowl XLIII - Tucson Style

Since none of my loyal blog viewers are from the greater Tucson, AZ area, I have taken the liberty of bringing you this glorious bit of television history.

Please know that this is so incredibly NSFW that you'll probably be fired on the spot if you watch it at work.



Janet Jackson, eat your heart out.
