I did not do it.

My links didn't work. i will have to fix that on my own time now. just when i thought i was done for a minute...oh well!

i gave a talk today. i was the last speaker.

it is also jakob's birthday today. i sang to him. i don't know what he was talking about, but he said bye and hung up in the middle of a sentence. i think he had to wash a plate or something.

i am moving in a week. aurie is moving on tuesday. i hope shelly leaves yesterday.

watch the office. it is funny. i didn't like the first episode of the year though. it stunk. i'm not a fan of jan.

I did it!

I did it everyone! Fear not, for I am alive again!

I finished my website!

Well, I made it function and look alright in Firefox (browser). It works in other browsers like Internet Explorer and Safari, but the layout is messed up in those. So, I am going to put the link up here, and if you want to see it how I meant it to be seen, then view it in a firefox browser.

I get to update it and redesign it while I finish my Bachelor's degree, so I'm way excited! (but kinda not because Dreamweaver is picky.)

Okay, so NOW I have to go work on a print portfolio. Just so everyone knows, staples doesn't offer a variety of 1/2" black binders--that is not a good thing, in case you were wondering.

Hopefully I can finish this print portfolio before Monday, because that is when it is due. Plus, I want to study for my Biotechnoloy Ethics final, which is on Tuesday.

And then I'm done with another semester! Then I can pack and move and go to a fiction writing workshop. I'm excited for summer. :{D <--that is a smiling face with a mustache.

Making a Website

Do you know what happens when you try to make a website?
Do you know what happens when you try to make a website with DreamWeaver?
Do you know what happens when you try to make a website with DreamWeaver and you don't know how DreamWeaver works?

I'll tell you what happens, because if there's one thing I know (but don't worry, I know more than one thing), it's what happens when you try to make a website with DreamWeaver and you don't know how DreamWeaver works:

You die.

Die die die die die.

I would know, because I tried to make a website with DreamWeaver and I didn't know how DreamWeaver works.

And do you know what?

I died.

Died died died died died.

You might be wondering how I made this post if I died.

WELL, ladies and gentleman, I'll let you in on a little secret:

I do not know. I think I am a special type of being with multiple lives or something. It is probably magic.

Because here I am, typing this post up as I speak, and I'm going to go die die die die die some more.

Wish me luck.

Book Earrings

Look at the title.

What the heck does that mean?

Read on and find out.

But first I'm going to type about my exciting morning!

There are things in life that are supposedly simple to do or easy to understand. Well, you know how frustrating it is when you can't do them or you don't understand them?

Well, I didn't understand Photoshop, so I couldn't do simple things on it. But now I can!

Does anyone else hear the bells?

Photoshop is one of my new favorite things in the entire world. GEEEEEEE I love it!

Number Two: (not that I labeled number one, but i like to label the twos in life)

Last night Shelly (roommate) was talking on her phone (cellular device) from 10:30ish to 11:52pm last night (when I was trying to sleep). Not only was she talking (loudly), she was also laughing her shrill chug-a-lug-almost-snorting laugh (also loudly) last night (when I was trying to sleep). She has been doing this for the past two months (talking and laughing loudly on her cellular device when I am trying to sleep), but she usually gets off the phone at 11:30pm (still when I am trying to sleep). This condition of hers to wait until late at night to call people is getting worse, and if it continues and if I keep losing sleep because of her, I think I'm going to lose it, and I'll lose it all over her.

I consider myself a nice person, just so long as I get my sleep, food, and drinks.

But Shelly dear is messing with my requirements of being a nice person. If I get mean, I will be very sorry, because I'm not very fun to be around when I am mean, and I am all about people having fun around me. But I want as much sleep as I can get.

BOOK EARRINGS!

Yay! I will explain this to you!

Do you like books? Do you like having books around you even if you don't plan on reading them?

Introducing Book Earrings (as found on wikihow)! Now it is possible to wear earrings with 1 inch tall books attached to them! They come completely customized because you make them yourself!

What do you have to do for these book earrings?

All you have to do is wait! I'm making an instruction set for making these nifty little accessories!
So stop worrying about your bookless ears and start waiting for a solution! You'll have books around you whenever you want in the near future!

NUMBER 4: (I didn't label number three either. I think today is Label Even Numbers Day. Put it on your calendar)

I'm going to work on my homework now. Good luck guessing what I'm doing. :D

Yestoday

Yesterdaaaaaay....was quite eventful. Today, it still could be. I think I will relax for the rest of the night though. I am extremely tired today.

But Yesterdaaaaaay....

I set up my summer schedule and registered for all of my summer classes. This included going back up to campus to drop a course that I couldn't drop myself and replacing it with another one that I couldn't add myself (this required going to two offices in different buildings on opposite sides of campus--don't know why they couldn't put the two offices next to each other).

I also went to the financial aid office to figure some stuff out with fafsa. Good news: I'm getting more money soon.

I also made an instruction set for cropping photos, eliminating red eye, and changing backgrounds in adobe photoshop. This took a long time because of stupid pictures being different sizes, text boxes not aligning correctly, and callouts moving around whenever I changed anything on the document. It took a while.

I also started getting my website ready to put together. I have a feeling that this is going to be harder than it looks. I do not like DreamWeaver because I cannot click and drag things where I want to put them. This means I have to make all of my photos the same width before I import them into my website, or they won't align perfectly. and I am a picky person when it comes to alignment. Actually, I'm a picky person overall.

And someone, I don't know who, clogged the toilet, and I didn't want to take care of someone else's crap so I drove up to the campus to go to the bathroom at 4:30am in my pajamas with messy hair and stinky breath. I have a new respect for people who don't have indoor plumbing and have to use outhouses or the equivalent.

And I ran into one of my friends from Convergys on the campus. Her name is Lorana, and she is a sweet-fireheart. She set me up on a blind-double-date (blind for me, not for her) this friday. We are going bowling. And I might have a date on saturday with my chem partner from last semester--Kelly Juhasz. I am not so sure that it is technically a date, but who knows? But I am not sure I want dates right now. I mean they are fun, and so I will go, but I hope these guys don't expect anything to develop with this. Because frankly, I do not want a boyfriend while I am in school. Weird, I know, but true.

And I got another stinking instruction set from my reading theory class. That instructor is a nutty professor I tell you. And he likes the TV show House. I like him a lot. But I do not like this instruction set assignment he is giving us.

But there is happy news about this assignment! I get to write instructions for anything as long as I include visuals! So I am going to write instructions on how to make book earrings (for an example, search for "book earrings" on wikihow). I think I will make some for myself and all my friends who like to read! Though, that will probably take me a considerable amount of time...maybe I will do it on summer vacation...oh wait, I am going to school this summer...never mind.
