Sweet Jesus! An Update!

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

So to all of my devoted fans the few people that read this, sorry about the huge break in my updates. Things have been seriously crazy and with Spring break coming up I don’t see things slowing down, but I will do my best to update periodically.

I’ve come to the conclusion that updating every day may have been a stretch.

1) I do about the same thing every week, with only a few changes here and there

2) Attempting to pass my classes this semester means that time I should be studying is usually spent worrying about where my camera is, wondering whether or not the batteries are charged, and attempting to have some glimmer of humor in my writing.

SO here’s the new plan:

New Year’s Resolutions be damned, I’ll update whenever I’m good and ready!

That being said, here’s whats been going on lately:

Last week was ridiculous. School was stressing me out (still is) and the death of my uncle didn’t help things. Although I did blow off some steam when Brandon came to town Friday night, which was fun. We all went up to Gypsy’s to get some drinks and play some pool. I rode with Glen, who, after we finally made it there, lost her ID somewhere in her car. After searching through all the random piles of crap in her car, we finally found it, locked up the car, and started towards the door….

Glen: “Did I just lock my keys in my car?”

Me: “Damn it, Glen!”

Luckily this really sketchy old dude that works there (who happened to look like some kind of backwoods mountain man) knew how to jimmy a lock. Sweet.

After Glen and I scrubbed the big black X’s off our hands (along with a good portion of skin) we began the long decent into drunkenness.

The three worst pool players (Drew, Brandon, and I)formed a team, aptly named “Team Self Esteem” because we sucked but still had a good time. Thanks to Glen we ended up winning every game, though. Awesome.

I left my camera at school so my incredibly low quality random camera phone pics will have to do [Click for bigness]:

So it was a pretty hip evening. Brandon and I had fun at least haha.


For those of you not equipped with miraculous vision here’s a reference picture of Brandon:

Also, I’m still wondering what the hell “tampoons” are

This week has been a bit more calm. It’s midterm week so I’m stressing out about my grades. I’m gonna have to step it up a notch to pull of A’s this semester. I still have to finish up my 331 homework so I’ll leave you guys with this:

I was syncing up the iPod, and I noticed this little gem

Really? Someone named their shared library “I want to fuck your mouth?” I’ve lost faith in this building this week. First the fire alarms go of TWICE in one night within 20 minutes of each other (the latter lasting past 1:30), then this? *sigh*

Goodnight kids,
Juniper

Super Quick Weekend Update

02-15-08 – 02-17-08

Friday was pretty uneventful. My alarm didn’t go off so I completely missed my 9 o’clock class.

Someone apparently ran around Greenwood and pissed in all of my professor’s cornflakes because everyone seems to be on edge lately. Dr. Willis got mad because almost no one in the class had read what we were supposed to for Friday’s class, so he retaliated by making us write a paper on Moby Dick (which I *still* haven’t finished). I just can’t seem to get motivated to finish this damn book.

After class I went to help Parsons and Tim on some extremely fun data entry for the research team (which Dr. Edwards never seems to let me know anything about).

Then it was home to clean up and head home.

washing dishes, 1:31pm

Saturday was pretty much like every other day at Starbucks. We were incredibly slow and I was being incredibly OCD. So everything got scrubbed down, organized, and labeled.

It was Durley’s 21st birthday! Yay!

Birthday Girl

For some reason my signs for work always look crappy

Saturdays are so freaking slow. A lot of our time was spent staring blankly into the cafeteria…

OBEY, 1:08pm

Sunday was boring. I didn’t take any pictures today, sorry folks. I’ve been slowly (very slowly) hacking away at my to do list….and I’m not even remotely finished yet. So I’m gonna get back to work and stop procrastinating.

See you tomorrow,

Juniper

Hey Girl, Hey.

Typical Thursday. The Sterling House 9:15am, Lunch, Psych 331 2pm.

Sherry was sick today so we sat in her office and did paperwork the entire time we were there. My psychology field work officially has nothing to do with psychology. Katrina and I are free labor. Awesome.

Easily amused, 1:28pm

I have got to get motivated. I have to read 10 chapters of Moby Dick before tomorrow….haven’t started yet [well, unless you include my drunken ramblings to Ben].

My weekend to-do list is getting longer and longer.

1. Write abstract for UGA presentation
2. 3-4 page article summary for psych 331
3. Moby Dick presentation for Engl 406
4. Study for psych 304 exam
5. Chapter 4 presentation for Engl 345
6. Online assignment for psych 299
7. Read to at least chapter 41 in Moby Dick for Monday

Urgh.
I’m off to read. See you kids tomorrow

Weekend Update

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

1-19-08 & 1-20-08

Apparently I missed the memo that this weekend was “Technological Failure Weekend ‘08.” My camera’s batteries died soon after taking the photo of the day on Saturday, and me, being the tard that I am, left my battery charger in Greenwood. So there is only one picture for this weekend, and it’s not exciting in the least.

Also, I’ve been fighting with my new computer since Friday night. I’m still trying to get everything I need installed on it, but with my internet dropping on me all the time it makes it slightly more difficult. So now that I’ve finally got things working properly on it (we’ll see how long that lasts), I can start to do some of the ridiculous amounts of homework I have to do before Tuesday.

Photo of the Day [(01-19-08) click for bigness]:

Work, 1:02pm

If you ever wanted to know what goes on behind the counter at a Starbucks, the answer is: a whole lot of nothing, that is, until 15 minutes before closing when suddenly everyone needs coffee ASAP and no one seems to know what’s on the menu.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves with customers. PLEASE do not stare blankly at the menu for 5 minutes then ask “what’s good?” What’s good?! Our tap water is fabulous. Thank you for wasting everyone’s time. The people behind you really appreciate waiting on you to make your order, no please take 5 more minutes to decide that you want a strawberries and creme frappuccino. Oh yeah, by the way we are technically closed right now, but I’m willing to wait. You’re THAT important to me.

Just for clarification: I am perfectly fine with the phrase “what do you recommend?” or “hows the such and such,” but when people that look like they just walked in off the set of COPS ask “what’s good” it makes me want to die a little. Take your 8 kids that are running around the store back to the trailer and stop asking me to make you “one of ‘em cappercinners like they gots at the gas station in ‘em lil machines.” Also, none of the cappuccinos come with “coo’ whip” and the word is grande not “grand.”

We cringe when we see you coming, we know you are going to be a pain. So if you’re wondering why your cup says “GSC” on it, it’s because we just made you a “Gas Station Cappuccino” which has sugar as its main ingredient with a side of coffee and a splash of milk. You just got a white chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut latte with extra whipped cream. Yes, I know you love it. It tastes just like the ones you get at the gas station of your choice for $1.00. You have a good day ma’am.

Anyway, I have work to do. Enough of my procrastination.

Until tomorrow,
Juniper
