people frustrate me... not only am i in a class that is composed mostly of children that looked like they just stepped out of high school... but i have to put up with teammates who acts like they are still in high school... i know i should be sort of expecting this in a 200 level course but really? grow up children... so heres the situation... i have two classes with Mr. Knott and he has divided us into six teams within each class... as the semester progresses we will be learning different sports and competing "as a team"... now this isn't really as much of a problem in my individual sports class... since we only really have to practice as a team... which is frustrating enough when one of your team members decides she is too good to either practice with you or talk to you because your not some stupid jock on a varsity sports team... but to top it off you have ppl in the team sports class who don't even try, or in some ppls case don't even want to acknowledge the rest of our existence, and that is just frustrating because it makes it that much harder on the rest of us... to top it all off you have a showboating soccer player who wont play by the rules and was about this close to eating dirt cause i'd had enough... sheesh i realize that ppl are in class and they think its whatever but if your on a team at least try because your not only killing yourself your killing the rest of us... so tuesday i get blown off and basically called things i can't repeat and thursday i get treated like a high school outcast... are you kidding me? i wonder if some ppl could grow up just a little to make the rest of our lives easier and to make it at least semi pleasant to go to class...

Well I got my eval for derby and I PASSED! yay i am now Cheeky Monkey and i'm totally stoked... joel and i are getting used to our new schedule which includes 11pm practices and 8 am classes... it is interesting but we have been able to work it out so far... it should be a good year though... classes are nice and i'm enjoying that...

so in the last five weeks i have been through finals, acquired a second older guinea pig named lenny, been to christmas at my parents house, and finally made it back just in time to start school once more... finals were a breeze mostly cause they were nonexistent... christmas was wonderful and we had so much fun.... we took the piggies with us which was no small task since Moe had a fungal infection... oh sheesh let me tell you about this thing... the poor baby was so miserable but the third day of having this thing and i was at my wits end as to what to do... i had a pretty good idea of what it was but having never done this before i worried to no end then finally took him in to the vet... who told me what i already knew but did manage to give me a lotion/medicine that healed him up nicely... but long story short Moe couldn't live with Lenny because fungal infections are contagious so they have to live in two separate cages for the trip... which is a minor inconvenience to say the least... but it was totally worth it to see Grace and Cami attach themselves to my babies... every morning when i came downstairs from my room Cami would ask if we could "do feed the dinny pihs Wenny and Moe" lol she was so cute i thought she would be really scared of them but it was adorable... we had a great time while we were there and everyone was incredibly generous to us... thak you all by the way... school starts on mon so we will see what the year holds...yay
