Don’t panic

Don’t Panic.  Famous last words.  Yesterday, when I was getting my usual cup of coffee on campus, I had a sort of attack.  I was standing there getting ready to pay for my coffee when all of a sudden I felt HUNGRY and started shaking, then the dizziness kicked in and I almost passed out.  After they sat me down and fed me an energy bar and some juice, a professor told me that it was hypoglycemia (he has it too) and that I should start eating every three hours (lightly) and carrying a candy bar with me, in case it happens again.  ::sigh::  Good times, good times.

Veterans Day

Thank you to all of the men and women who have fought, and are fighting to keep us free and safe.  May God bless you and your families.

Steven Tyler NOT leaving Aerosmith!

Steven Tyler finally breaks his silence to say he is not leaving Aerosmith…YAY!

Ida, the non-event

As it turns out Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ida WAS a non-event.  It’s rainy and a bit breezy, but that’s about it.  I see that my poor neighbors at the bottom of the hill have a completely flooded yard that is approaching their crawl space under the house.  Right now there are city workers and all kinds of vehicles parked there, so I’m assuming it’s a clogged storm drain or something.  I guess it’s not been a non-event for my neighbors.

I just got back from my English class and since one of my classes canceled,  I only have one afternoon class left.  Tomorrow we’re off for Veteran’s Day and then it’s one week before Fall Brak/Thanksgiving, and when we come back there’s only two days left in the semester (before finals).  I, for one, welcome the end of the semester and look forward to that long Christmas break.

Uh oh, a hurricane is coming!

With everything else going on I didn’t realize that a hurricane was coming until it was basically getting ready to knock on our front door.  It shouldn’t be too bad though, it looks like it will turn into a tropical storm just before it reaches our area (southeast Alabama).  Certainly not enough to cancel my math class (insert huge sigh here).  So far nothing is cancelled and the local EMA is treating it pretty much like a non-event.   Still, it looks like I might need a boat and a rain slicker to get to classes tomorrow, and there’s always a threat of tornadoes with a system like this, so I’m not going to get too complacent.

Zombies at Purdue!!

Man, I wish we would do something like this at the university I attend!  It was all about zombies vs. humans. Way to go Purude for allowing the students to go on with this.

Nooooo!

Steven Tyler quits Aerosmith! ::sigh::  Another good band bites the dust.  Someone better console Goldbloom.

Ladies and Gentlemen I Give You…

The DUI chair. Just don’t call it a lay-z- boy.

What, they didn’t get him for littering too?

Although I’ve never been an officer, I’m pretty sure this one was overreacting.  I can’t imagine how this kid will grow up and view law enforcement.  Twelve year old arrested while trick or treating. Barney, party of one?

Deep Cleansing Breaths

This week (and it’s only Tuesday) has been the most frustrating week of the semester.  I’ve been sad, pissed off and eventually threw up my hands in resignation.  School, red tape, bureacratic bull crap is getting to me.  I just want to graduate.  I’ve worked hard to get through and to achieve a pretty good gpa, and I just want to walk across the stage and get my diploma.  ::sigh::
