Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Good evening all. I'm not sure how long of a blog I'm going to make tonight, but I wanted to at least do something. So, I received my first of 3 refunds I'm scheduled to get this summer this week. It helped tremendously, even though it was pretty much gone within half a day. The great thing though is that we paid a huge chunk of change to the energy company, so we are all paid up with them, and we paid off our qwest bill, so bot those are good until at last the end of july. Then we had some work done on Erin's car beecause it really needed it.

So this week in class has sucked really bad. University of Phoenix has been having a lot of technical issues with their student web site. There have been at least 2 days so far where I have not been able to turn assignments in on time because it wouldn't let me into the site. At first I freaked out because it said I was not enrolled in classes, which I was like "WHAT?!" I can always reach my financial aid rep,and they can reach each other, so I called her and told her what was going on and she told me it was not on my end, and was actually the college student site messing up. So, I breathed a little bit easier. The night before, I had worked my butt off to get my algebra quiz done and i passed it, and then suddenly I was unable to submit my assignments. I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I DONT WANT THEM TO BE LATE!!!"

Side Note: One thing that bugs me about my netbook sometimes is I have to pay close attention because while I'm typing, I will notice that one of my keys did not register and so I will have a word that shows up with a letter missing.

So, the night before, I felt great having all my assignments done on time, but then I was depressed because I knew that I was going to probably take a hit on my grades on those assignments. I was up till like 4 AM and then still could'nt sleep very well. It sucked.. but now I hear that wih the problems that the site is having this week, they are going to be lenient on the grades if we are unable to get on the site and turn things in. I hate it, but at least there is that positive part of it.

So on that note, zoe, erin,and I went to the strawberry farm and picked about 18 lbs o strawberries. That was fun. We paid $1.50 per pound, and they took us right to one of the rows and we were there for about an hour. Then we sold off about 5 lbs of it to a friend, bagged up most of the rest, minus about a lb that I split with Zoe. I had about 10 oz in a bowl with sugar on it, and zoe had about 6 oz. I thought she had quite a bit, but I realized I was wrong when she finished it and was like "MORE!" lol.

So on that note, tonight I went to try to log into the student website and now they are having issues with people being able to even log in, so I was like "well, I guess no school work for me tonight!" Oh well. I'm going to try to not stress out about it. On that note I will call hat it for the night! I wish you all the best, God Bless you all, and talk to you again soon!
