The little highlights of my day

So I'm on my way to work and I stop for coffee at the dunkin donuts on North and Central Park. I turn into the rinky-dink parking and who should turn in after me, but a police officer. Huge surprise there. I quickly park (pretty crappily) and walk in. Inside is a huge smiling coffee cup person and a huge smiling donut person. Frightening? Slightly. Hilarious? Yes. One of the managers is taking pictures of people in line with the cup and the donut. They ask me if I would like my picture taken as well, and being the grouch that I am at 8:30 in the morning without an ounce of caffeine in my system, I said, "hell no." The police officer behind me said yes. This is the result of her agreement.

The image quality is pretty crappy, but the cop is handcuffing the donut. Chicago's finest doing their job.

Anything interesting happen to anyone else today?

Living it up....not....

I'm bored.
I Just got out of work.
I have yet to fill out my Fafsa.
What to do?

Well the obvious is to fill it out isn't it? So anywho. My house arrest is over on friday. Five bucks says that I won't be able to go out on friday to celebrate anyway. Soo upsetting. I feel as though everytime I write its to bitch and moan about how crappy my life is. It's not really that crappy, I'm just feeling a bit stifled.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Is it really good? I've been looking for a new book to read maybe I'll check it out. Have you ever read the book, 101 people who are screwing up america (and al franken is #37) that book is hilarious!!! I recommend it!

p.s. i had sent dani the invite already, but I re-sent it.

Oh man, i love Erving Goffman. He calls us out on the crazy, absurd, contradicting things that we do. Read Behavior in Public Places if you want to feel like an idiot.

FINALS WEEK!!

I've got three papers to go before summer "break" begins for me. What's going on for me this summer? Well, i'll be working full time 9 out of the 11wks we have for break.... one week will be spent in Albuquerque, one being FREE in Chicago.
But just because I am working doesn't mean that I won't be having fun. My mom is coming into town this Friday with my stepdad, his mom and my lil cousin. You may remember her as Naughty. Just in case you were wondering, yes, she is still naughty.
What's the occasion? My sister has graduated from DePaul (our unplanned family tradition) and her commencement is this Sunday. Can't forget to mention her graduation party this Saturday as well.
If I can get some exra time off, i might be able to join my mom in a trip up to the rez too, but i asked my boss and she said we'll see....that prolly means no. :-(
I can't wait to be done with these classes though. I have the rest of my year planned out for me. I'll post it here and see how accurate I was.

June: CPS Summer Program
July: visit mom in NM
August: NSF Summer Program
September: Back to School
October: NIEA Conference in Hawaii?
November: AISES Conference in Pheonix
December: Internship in Boston

The only thing I am not really excited about but more like really nervous and scared about is the internship in Boston for 4 weeks. I will be spending my entire break working...away from home, away from my cats, away from my boyfriend, friends and my bed. I heard Boston was a racist town too.....If I get paid a lot then that will make it worth it, but i have a feeling they are going to be working my ass off.
