WTF Calm Announcer Lady?

Is anyone else completely freaked out by the new prescription drug side affects that have been popping up nonchalantly in commercials lately?

Have restless legs? Try Mirapex- just look out for anxiousness, trouble sleeping and increased gambling.

Can't Sleep? Why not just pop an Ambien. What's the worst that could happen? Apparently talking, walking, eating and driving while asleep.

Of course, if any of these things happen to you, you should consult a physician. If you still have money to pay them or a car to get there.

Savannah College of Attitude and Disorganization

Yesterday, I was denied access into the building where my class was because I didn't have the proper sticker on my ID. No one bothered to tell me that I needed this sticker, and because I didn't have it I wasn't allowed into the building. I wasn't even allowed to let my professor know why I was going to be late.

So. I finally find the building where I can secure this sticker, and after spending around 45 minutes trying to find someplace to park, I park in a handicapped space and walk into the building.

And they won't let me in. Because my ID doesn't have the sticker.

Ephemeral and Fleeting

This week I found out that a good friend of mine is planning to move away. I am sad to see her go, but very happy that I got the chance to be a part of her life. Although we did not get to hang out with each other very often, she was someone I always looked forward to seeing. I saw things in her that I wanted to strengthen in myself, and because of that she always fascinated me. I wanted to be her friend since I first met her and, although she was always surrounded by people, sometimes it just seemed like she needed one.

I talked to her on the phone a few nights ago and she thanked me for my friendship and for being there. It is strange how often it is I don't learn someone's feelings for me until they are gone. I feel lucky that I was given a chance to know her and even luckier to be her friend.

Will You Be Saving 100% Today?

So tonight Pat and Claire sat me down and told me all of the numerous ways to steal things from Barnes and Noble. It's dangerous knowledge to have, but I think I am content buying my books for now. I mean, I just got a membership card, might as well get my 10% discount.

New Years Resolutions:

-Write more
-Read more
-Try harder

New years are the best times for new beginnings. You get to write a new year at the top of every piece of paper, and somehow that seems to separate you from that other time when you used to write that other number at the top of your paper. Last year I wasn't in a place where I felt ready to actively try to make things better. This year will be better.
