Whoa, I just realized something. This blogger allows you to do tabs at the beginning of paragraphs unlike most other blogging tools! That's awesome! The English major in me is doing a little happy dance.
Down to business.
So this week has totally sucked. I can't really go into it, suffice to say shit is going down at work and it affects me more than I'd like to think about. Wednesday I came home and just cried--literally--for about an hour before I felt like I had it in me to face the world again. Needless to say I didn't get much homework done that night so this weekend I have to play catch-up with all the homework I didn't do this week. With all the shit rocking my world at work I am feeling overwhelmingly anti-social especially on Thursday when I tried my best to avoid just about everyone by sitting in the back to work. I cannot wait until things get back to normal and I can just go on about my business.
Work may suck right now but school is going well. I had a test in my Symbolic Logic class on Wednesday and I think I totally nailed it. I was so stoked when I left the test and I will be shocked if I don't get an "A." I finished every question completely and only had to stop one time to get my bearings. I got halfway through a proof when I got stuck: I put my pencil down, turned my paper over, closed my eyes and tried to clear my head. After a few minutes I flipped my page back over and picked up where I left off. All the other problems went really smooth so I feel good about it. I will be so stoked if I get an "A" on this test. Just to make myself feel better about this week, tonight I added up my scores from my quizzes and tests in my English class and if I calculated correctly I have (seriously) 149 points out of 145 points. Do the math on that, kids: for those who are mathematically illiterate, that calculates out to 103% in the class. That's nothing to sneeze at! My Anthropology class is the only "thorn in my side" this semester since I seem to be on a "B" streak on my tests this semester. I am getting together with a girl from my class tomorrow and we are determined to get "A's" on the next test so we shall see. Right now I have an 89% in that class so it won't take much to move it up to an A. I would absolutely love it if I can get a 4.0 this semester; it would be the icing on my academic cake, so to speak.
Today was a lot of fun. I went to the Oak Cafe today with a girl who works next to me, Jennifer, and it was a Filipino lunch that was so damn good. It was so nice to get out of the house, away from work and to hang out with a female, which is something I haven't done in a long time. Jennifer is so cool to hang out with and we laughed and talked the whole time so it was so much fun, even though I went over my lunch hour. Then, after I got home from work Jason and I went to Costco to do some shopping and afterwards we went to Pasquale's Italian restaurant for dinner. It just so happened that one of our friends and his girlfriend were there too, they were parking when we were parking, and so we had dinner together with our room mate (we called to invite him). It was a blast! The food there is always good, even though the service is always bad, and the company was entertaining and comfortable. I am so happy I have time to socialize this semester and not feel guilty about it. Tomorrow our friend Kevin is coming over because Jason is grilling this huge rack of pork ribs (and a chicken breast for me) and we're going to drink beer and probably watch movies or listen to music or just sit around stuffing ourselves. This is, of course, after my study session with Shauna (the girl from my Anthro class) so I will be doing some real work tomorrow.
Sunday should be fun, too. It's my aunt Peggy's birthday so my mom is going to take her to Jackson casino for dinner and I am invited along with my aunt Beth. I'll never complain about going out and it will be nice to see my aunts and hang out with my mom. Free meals are nice, too. All around good deal to me.
Well, it's time for another drink. My house is abound with Guinness lately, and with that comes responsibility: the responsibility to combine it with Bailey's Irish cream, and Irish whiskey and pretend to hold your liquor. It's Friday night and, well, I'm not going to fight it. Have a good one, and I hope you continue reading.
Thanks again, reader, I'll dedicate my next drink to you.

Entry 1--AKA: "New blog for new times" or "Because I can!"
Hello world, it's me Jolene. I decided to start a new blog that is easier for the average anti-MySpace-r to access. If you want to check out my other blog go to:
http://blog.myspace.com/god_hates_you.
But this blog should do for most everyone. At any rate, things are changing so fast it's hard to keep up. As most of you already know I was accepted to UC Davis as an English major. If you didn't know, you know now. My plan is to major in English and either double-major or minor in Philosophy, but we see how that goes. I cannot wait to transfer. I have a sever case of something I call "transfer-itis" which is kind of like high school senior-itis except with a little more responsibility, paying bills and having a job and all.
So how was everyone's Easter? I hope the rise of Zombie Jesus was glorifying and that the Easter bunny left lots of chocolate covered bunny poop for everyone. Ours was good. Long, but good. We went to Jason's aunt and uncle's house and they made ham, macaroni and cheese, green beans, sweet potatoes and german chocolate cake. I ate everything except the ham, obviously, so by the time we got home I was feeling a little protein deficient so I scarfed some leftover sesame chicken we got last night. Overall, I'd say it was pretty fun.
School starts again tomorrow and I'm glad I got some homework done this week. I did alot of reading and worked on alot of my logic homework so I wouldn't forget anything. I have a test in that class on wednesday and the last thing I need is to forget all that cra--I mean stuff I have learned in the first half of the semester. I am so glad the semester is halfway over. The weather is so nice lately I cannot wait until summer!
Okay, so my first blog is done. I have to go switch over laundry now, and ready myself for bed. I was watching the new Futurama episodes air on Comedy Central for the first time tonight, and though I've seen them probably 20 times already I love to watch them over and over and over. I cannot wait until the next installments to the final season come out. I hope hope hope they renew and do more, but I think that's a little too much to ask.
Thanks for reading and I hope to see everyone again soon!
