Call now before supplies run out

Why is it that there are now commemorative coins featuring "life-like portraits" of Barack Obama on the face? Yes, I understand that the election was a big deal and that we made history, but do we need coins to tell us that? 50 years down the road, am I going to be telling my grandchildren the story behind that dusty, yet colorful coin that sits on my bookshelf? No, I'll tell them that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it was announced that Barack Obama won the election. I was with my boyfriend, sitting on his bed and we were watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Seriously, I was. I am pretty sure that I will always remember that.

Anyway, I just think that it is pretty ridiculous that we have people making money from all this. Who the hell decided to make those coins? And why, if they were going to be anything like coins, would they be in color? I think the fact that these coins are so tacky makes it that much worse. Why can't we just have his face sketched on there? Coins aren't supposed to be colorful. Not in my opinion anyway.

Oh, I digress.

I'm waiting for my grades to be posted online. Professors have to have them in by noon on Tuesday. Two grades are posted already; choir and nutrition, which I got As in. Go me. I'm just waiting for marketing to confirm the B, and International Public Relations, my PR internship and Creative Writing, which I'm pretty sure will all be As. I'm hoping those grades will be posted tomorrow. We shall wait and see.

I need to go to bed.

Until next time...(g'night)

It's the end of the fall semester

I'm sitting around in the computer lab in Mass Media at school. I probably could have left at least an hour ago, but I want to wait to say good-bye to my boyfriend. That, and I'm really hungry. I have everything packed in my car and ready to go, so I'm just waiting around for him to get done with his final. Yippee.

Sadly, I won't have a 4.0 this semester because of a B in Marketing, but I can't say that I didn't try. Right? Right. Anyway...

I just got a call and I'm going to eat now. I may update this entry later.

Until next time...

I can now organize my toiletries...

It's Christmas time, and since finals are this coming week, my boyfriend and I exchanged gifts last night. I bought him just what he wanted; Need for Speed: Undercover. What did he buy me? A nice, fluffy blanket that came with cozy socks. Oh, and a travel toiletry organizer so I can organize all my makeup and stuff. Wow. I mean, I know I'm hard to shop for, but that's something you don't give your girlfriend, unless, of course, she will be going on a trip sometime soon. I, however, will not be going any further than Louisville, Ky. anytime soon. He just wants me to get my stuff off his couch/bed in his place. He told me that it's so that I can be organized, and I can just carry that whole thing back and forth between his place and mine, but I was fine using a regular ol' plastic shopping bag.

It wouldn't be such a let down if his past gifts hadn't been so great. Let's go back in time to visit gifts past:
First Christmas (2006): A hematite necklace and earrings set. Along with a beautiful silver bracelet.
Second Christmas (2007): A sapphire necklace, which I love.
For my birthday/Valentine's Day in 2007: Tickets to the Justin Timberlake/Pink concert in Nashville. I loved it! Also, a cute little stuffed puppy.
I can't remember what, if anything, I got for my birthday/Valentine's Day this past year, but we were taking one of those stupid "breaks" and I had the flu around that time. I think he got me something for my birthday, but I don't really remember because I erase the moments when we were "taking a break" from my memory. Anyway...

The point here is that his past records in gift-giving have been really good. This year, so far, has been below par. He says he was going to get me "something sexy" today, but he called earlier and said he didn't feel like going to fight the mall crowd and decided to turn his car around (he was already out) and go back to his room to play his video games. Games that I bought him for his birthday and for Christmas! His birthday was in October, not that long ago, and I always get him exactly what he wants. When he asked what I wanted, I told him that his past records have been very good and that he should probably stay along those lines. Whatever. He said he's going to get me something when he goes home and he'll bring it to me when he goes to Louisville. (That's if he gets the chance to go to Louisville...he has a job and internship stuff that he's going to be doing during the break.)

Ah...anyway...I digress. I just had to rant a little about that. I know it's selfish to think about gifts that way, but what he got me is something that you get a friend or someone you barely know. It seemed like an insult to me...it was like he was saying "Get your shit organized because I'm tired of it all being all over my place." Ugh. I'll stop here.

Until next time...
