Aww School Days...

So I am three days away from completing my first summer course online. It has been really long and very stressful. I do not recommend cramming a 15 week course into 4 weeks. In fact I should be doing my homework right now, but I really don't want to=) Naughty. This past weekend my sisters came down to visit. We had some fun, got sunburned, spent some of my mom's money, and basically had some fun. I do hate to admit that my stomach was on the fritz yet again and we had to cut out some activities=( Kinda makes you hate to eat. Oh well. Other than that there isn't much going on. Oh except for the fact that there used to be 3 girls in the office, but on thursday I will be the only one for awhile. Our new awesome receptionist has to relocate back to Arizona. Which sucks, cause I really liked working with her. *sigh* I guess I have to train a new person and try and do all my work. Not that I have a ton at this point, but our office manager is out for a week, cause her daughter is having a baby and so I am like the one kinda in charge. Everyone keeps asking me questions I don't know the answer to!

I am having a little trouble concentrating on my assignment. I wish the voices would stop telling me to watch TV and blog. Silly silly school. Soon to be over!!

School Days Hit Again

(I love this picture. It is from the movie Spirited Away, fan art! Enjoy!)

Hello everyone!! How is the summer going? Probably not so good for Rachel in Idaho Falls cause I just saw on the news that they woke up to some snow in June!! I am so freakin' jealous. I mean, what do I gotta do to get some kind of cold weather down here? I hate this place. I cannot wait til we are gone. Not for awhile though. Well, Me and Chris started school this week. He actually has four classes altogether and I have two. I am doing online courses so at least I get to stay at home. He has to be in class Monday through Thursday and I miss him. Oh well. I just hope he gets all of his homework done. If he does, then he can graduate with his associates in the September!! Woohoo! First college graduate in the family, all two of us. But I am close behind him, let me tell you. I could probably have my associates by next may if I am good. That is why I am busting out two online courses right now. It is a little harder to be motivated to do the homework, but so far I haven't fallen behind. One assignment is due in 2 hours and I am done already! Well almost. Someone has to respond to my postings, but no one has. So if they don't, then I will just submit it. I posted yesterday, so I don't know what everyone's problem is. Oh well. I will post as soon as Chris gets home. I am still fighting a nasty cough and last night I slept on the couch cause I was bothering Chris. He was trying to sleep but at 12 am I decided to take pity on him and leave the room. Only problem is that through some random actions, I ended up sleeping in and being 45 minutes late to work! I know, I know!! I about freaked out right there. I made it to work in 10 minutes and thanked the stars that I had showered the night before.
Well, I will probably work all day tomorrow and Saturday on homework. One class is only 4 weeks long and it is very busy. Anyways people, have an awesome day and have a good weekend!!

Complaining & Not Sorry

I hate being sick!!! Grrrgh!! I was trying to take things easy cause you are supposed to rest and get better right? I slept and was good, but I keep feeling worse!! Oh well. It only sucks because now I am a little stressed at work and I don't think that it is helping my cold, or my allergies, or whatever else is wrong with me. I just need like a week of sleep and cough medicine and I would be good as new! Other than that nothing has been going on this week. Just some changes at work and just playing my game. I am in the middle of breeding my Gold Chocobo. And I know nobody knows what that is, but believe me, it is important and hard to do. Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I am sorry, this was like my most boring blog. I did want to congratulate Amelia on her graduation though. I hope she loves college and doesn't get too bogged down with it. And Jennifer is doing great as far as I can tell. They both need to come down and hang out with me though. Hint, hint. We are going to get a scooter though. Gas is over 4 dollars and I can't take it anymore. We are going to sell Chris' car and get a scooter. A bright one so no one hits me. =) Have a happy day!!

An Astounding Disappointment & A Second Chance

Yeah, I am talking about Prince Caspian. I know I might be a little sensitive about books being made into movies, and I understand that things are never the same. However, when a movie doesn't even follow the same plot line and insists on making a conflict where there is none, well, I tend to get a little defensive. Prince Caspian completely undermined the importance of the 4 original children and turned Peter and Caspian into some kind of testosterone driven rivalry that didn't even begin to exist in the book. Not to mention, a complete battle that had no place in the story and the non-existent appearance of Aslan, and you can imagine my frustration when I had no idea what was going on. I didn't even know how it might end and I have the book practically memorized! I fail to see how the movie did the series any justice, and the only reason some people liked it was because they haven't read the book. I cried during half the movie because I was so disappointed and hurt. Whatever. Once again I had my standards set too high for Hollywood. I mean, all I wanted was the actual plot, but I guess that was too much to ask for.
Well, now that I am done ranting about a low standard movie, lets move onto more exciting things.

Like the fact that I have once again discovered my passion for Final Fantasy VII.

I know, I know. I can see my sisters all rolling their eyes at me (as I roll mine to all things pink and fluffy), but I meet their eye rolling with a stubborn set to my jaw and continue to waste my life in front of my favorite game console.
I started playing FFVII when I lived in Spokane before I even met My Chris. I had a best friend named Chris Park who worked at Denny's with me and he introduced me to the game. I found a slightly used copy for 18 bucks (unheard of nowadays) and bought a used Play Station and started on a journey. I bought an unauthorized strategy guide off of Chris' younger brother for 20 bucks (another thing impossible to find now) and that completed everything I needed to have a grand adventure on one of the best known games in the entire series. One of the most frightful enemies in the entire game arena comes from that game. I guess more than anything, the game reminded me of an entire fantasy series played out with me interacting and being able to control the characters. There isn't another game I have played that I have liked as much as that one. Although Kingdom Hearts 2 is close. Of course it is made by mostly the same people and thats why I like it. I guess, I just really enjoy the chance to go back to a simpler time and enjoy the fun of running around on an airship with bunch of weird characters; a thief, a weird shaped dog, a foul-mouthed captain, a giant robot, a grumpy changeling, a really grumpy freedom fighter, and a tough girl who constantly kicks butt. I know, it sounds boring right? =) Well good luck to me and to all of you out there and with your summer vacations!!
