Give me an 84, and I'll raise you 1300

I have been super busy trying to get my 3 classes for this term done. I hope to finish up next week so I can enjoy Super Bowl weekend without any of that on my mind. Sorry I haven't been around much, but I've discovered by being away just how much you guys light up my days. I need this escape and the peak into your worlds to forget about mine for a while.

Just to tell you a little about my week, I am super pissed at one of my professors. He waited 3 weeks to grade my mid-term paper, and then gives me a damn 84! Wait... Did you hear me? An 84, I said!! Now, since I've been back in school I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. Needless to say, this is the lowest grade I have gotten in any class, and I just suffered through Toxicology for God's sake without getting an 84.

I seriously think this professor is on crack. He docks points for things that no other professor has. Sometimes he gives no explanation at all, and when he does explain his reasoning it's usually something lame. On a side note, if I don't finish the course with an "A" then I don't get 100% reimbursement from my company. I would seriously have to kill the professor if that happened. It's a good thing he doesn't live near me. And now I'm thinking I really need to do that Google remove-my-real-name-from-searches-thing that Stephanie and Sam told me I could do somehow. It would totally be my luck for my professor to find this post before the final grade went in.

Anyway, if you hadn't noticed I'm a thrives-on-immediate-feedback kinda gal, so his waiting that long to get back to me in the first place was enough to take. Then the grade whammy sure didn't make it any easier. Somehow I'll make it through like I always do, but I sure need to finish this class to get me away from this joker. Lord, PLEASE do not let him be teaching any of the classes I have left! I don't think I could take it.

To make myself feel better, I went on the Sears website yesterday to look at my dream washer and dryer again. For those who haven't been around since I mentioned it before, I want one of those new steam sets. (They say the dryer works as fast as the washer.) They were having a one day online only sale, and I got the set $500 cheaper than regular price! Soothing my pain apparently costs $1300 (after tax and stuff), but that's better than the $1800 it would normally be.

As you know from prior posts, I really don't care for laundry, but I figure I'll look about as stupidly happy as this lady for about the first month.

They won't be delivered until the 15th so my impatient self will just have to wait. I might just have to go buy the new furniture I've been wanting, too.

Now, I must get back to less enjoyable things, but I wanted to mention that two people think I'm funny enough to have given me an award. The thought just floors me, but I'm so excited! I'll fill you in on that later because I didn't want my first post of the week to be, "Hey, sorry I haven't been around but someone thinks I rock anyway!" Holy crap! I can't believe it's Thursday and this is my first post of the week. I'm beginning to think I don't rock so much as I suck this week. Now let me go try to catch up on what you all have been doing. 

Never-ending chore... Laundry!

Is that any chore to be done around the house that is truly never-ending besides laundry? I mean think about it. While you are doing laundry, you are basically wearing the next load. If you do the dishes, you can be finished with those and not have any more to do until you decide to dirty more. But guess what? You are probably using a wash rag and/or towel, right? Then you get all of the house work done, and you go to shower to clean up. Well, there go some towels to clean and more clothes you are going to put on. It is never-ending, I tell ya!

I would think even nudists can't say they don't have laundry to do all of the time. They just don't have as much of it. Because I would think they still use towels and sheets and things like that. Believe me, no one wants to see me going around naked. I wouldn't even do that to my bird and my dog.

I will say I am all about grabbing clothes as soon as the dryer shuts off though. They either get folded or hung up, because this chica does NOT iron. As much as my mother hates it, I don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary or for a special occasion. My mother would iron everything when I was growing up, including dad's undershirts and handkerchiefs and our jeans. I think I was the only kid in school with creases in her jeans. So as I was saying, clothes in this house get folded quickly. They might not always make it to getting put away very quickly though, but that's another story.

Not me... On any given day!

So what chores do you all hate? Although I must say, I hate doing dishes more than laundry.... although maybe not more than ironing. I am willing to cook all the time if someone else would just come do the damn dishes. That is about the only good thing my former roommate was useful for. She hated to cook, but she was fine with doing dishes.
