Okay... now I'm upset

Ya know, after 9/11 happened every one that I knew was very concerned they were going to lose their jobs with the airlines, my husband included. Slowly and surely everyone started to be let go from United Airlines here in Indianapolis... and yes, the airline industry did ask the government for help so that they wouldn't have to let people go. Unfortunately, that help never came. My husband was laid off, his employee stock went from about $10,000 down to the 48 cent check they wasted mailing to him. Not to mention all the long timers that lost their job, their pension, their stock... their lives as they knew it.

What pisses me off is how the government is jumping ALL over helping these mortgage companies and now the insurance company AIG is getting 85 BILLION dollars to help bail them out. WTF? Yes, it sucks that all of these companies are going bankrupt... and yes, it sucks that people are going to lose their jobs. Where the fuck was Bush when my husband lost his job??

I can only imagine that there is money going into their pockets by helping out these companies. If I only had enough time to do some investigating. If anyone knows me well enough, they know I'm the internet search queen and I can find out ANYTHING about ANYONE. Dare me.

Word of the day...

Listen, just be thankful I'm even doing this when I have the time! *smile*

Word of the day: Accutane
Definition: a brand of isotretinoin
Used in a sentence: You should never take Accutane while you are pregnant!

I don't really want to go into details about why this is my word of the day other than the fact that I got this question wrong on a Pharmacology exam. =)

Until next time...

Word of the day...

Alright bite me... so I haven't posted my word of the day for TWO days! I've had my nose stuck inside a pharmacology book... not to mention my lab book! So... without further ado...

Word of the day: Shit
Definition: excrement; feces
Used in a sentence: I don't know how I'm going to keep up with all this shit!

Yes, I didn't use the word as it is defined, but you get the point!

Until next time...

Word of the day

So Amanda and I were on the phone today, instead of studying of course, and we decided that every day we are going to post a word of the day and we have to use it in a sentence and that sentence has to pertain to school or family, etc.

Word of the day: iota
Definition: a very small quantity

I don't have one iota what I am doing in dosage calculations.



Until next time...

It's been confirmed...

...my life really is over!

This is my first full week of school finished. In this first week I have to read 16 chapters and take TWO tests for each of those chapters. Yes, two. A pre-test, and then a post-test, which is graded. Mind you, I like having the pre-test because it let's me know where I need more help. However, when each chapter has a gazillion pages and both tests take about an hour combined to complete... death becomes an option at this point.

Not only did our instructor mention that just because it's Labor Day weekend doesn't mean we don't get to labor over our books. She called it our "Labor Day study plan." I'm so thankful for Labor Day and whatever it stands for because had it not been for Labor Day, I would be so far behind on my studies that I don't think I would make it. And I'm willing to bet my husband and children would miss me. After all, who would make dinner?

I now have five days to get caught up. Wish me luck cause I'm gonna need it. LOTS AND LOTS of it!!

Until next time...

My life... is over

So my teachers have been kind enough to submit the syllabus and calendars today... 4 days early... you know, so I can read through everything and then get freaked the hell out!!! I'm looking through the agenda for my first lab class and I get to the part that reads this:

Wear 2 pc swim suit or shorts/sleeveless top
Bring 2-3 towels, 2 washcloths, razor, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, comb, lip balm, hair dryer, etc.

What the fuh-hell????? So apparently we are to give each other baths. I'm sorry, but I barely let my husband see me naked, or even HALF dressed for that matter... let alone someone I've only known for three weeks! Yes... this craziness begins in WEEK THREE!!!

And then there's pharmacology... holy hell what did I get myself in to? The syllabus reads like a murder mystery! Cause I know... I'm going to DIE trying to get through this class!

So it's official... my life as I currently know it... is O-V-E-R!! I need a drink!

Until next time...

Books... wtf?

I'm totally going to have to take a picture of this mess to show you all what I'm talking about but I swear I got around 10 books for this semester. For this semester!! And it cost $800!!! I could think of much better ways to spend this money! I think it's disgusting that the school won't share the ISBN numbers so that us students can look elsewhere for the books to get a cheaper rate. I understand that people with financial aid and student loans HAVE to get their books from the school, but what about the people who pay for their school out of their pockets? School starts on Monday and I'm totally stressing. I've already started reading one of my books. I started on chapter 1... with my luck we're heading straight into chapter 4. Bastards. However, one of my professors already posted the schedule so I know what I'm reading we will be working on come Monday morning!!

Until next time...
