Today...has been a day

So let's just start off with the fact that as soon as I woke up, my dog pissed on my brand new shoes.  That's how my day started.  I cleaned that up and threw the shoes in the washing machine because maybe that'll do something?  I then go to make some breakfast and I was feeling like an egg sandwich that day.  Got 2 eggs, cooked both of them.  Went to get bread...out of bread.  So I was just sitting there, eating 2 plain eggs, like a psychopath.

I go to start my car, nope.  Doesn't work.  I have to get my dad to drive me to school which is a 45 minute drive by the way.  Apparently my car battery died, so I gotta get a new one of those and they're like $150-$200.  Sick.  Love it.

After I get to school, I'm so late it's just a joke at this point.  I can't find a parking spot because that'd be nice and nice things to don't happen to me.  I finally find one angel to leave at the exact time that I am passing by, but the parking spot was made for an RC car.  The 2 people that parked beside this spot just had no care for other human beings that day.  I squeeze my car to fit in this spot, I can barely open my driver's side door to get out.  I walk/run to class (not like a full run, but I've got some pace) and I get to the classroom and..."Hi class, sorry I'm going to have to cancel today because I have a doctor's appointment, continue your reading, see you Wednesday."

I nearly had an aneurysm right then and there.

Favorite Animal

This blog post could be a trip to the zoo, but all my recent zoo visits just make me sad because the animals are locked up and what not.  When I was younger, I was very hyped to go to the zoo.  Zoos are fun and cool just to see animals, but if the animal was captured and taken out of the wild to be in a zoo, then it's not cool.  I've seen zoos where they only have animals that couldn't survive in the wild because they're sick with something or they have been raised in captivity since they were babies.  Those I'm fine with, but taking a lion from the Savannah ain't cool.

Most people's favorite animals are these exotic, crazy, barely seen animals or, a boring, basic person will just go "I love dogs, so I guess my favorite animal is a dog."  Exotic animals are cool, I like them, not trying to bash on exotic animals or dog lovers.  Maybe a little bit on crazy dog lovers, but my favorite animal is a raccoon.  I just like their faces.  They're little bandits of the night.  They're such careful animals (except on the road, then they're dumb), but they have a stereotype of being these dirty, gross, rabid animals, when in reality, they just want your garbage.

A positive about my favorite animal being a raccoon, is that I get to see my favorite animal all the time and my reaction is always the same.  I'll be driving and see a little thieve's face and just go "OH MY GOD RACCOON."  I get really happy when I see them.  There is a down side to me loving raccoons and that is, if I ever see one in the wild, I'm gonna try to touch it.  Like you couldn't stop me.  Because they look like fat cats and they look very worthy of a good petting, but I think they'd be scared to death and run or if they are sick, they would try to attack me.  No success so far because I haven't been in a situation where I could touch one, but I will keep you updated with my raccoon quest.  Just in case you need some happiness in your life, I'll include pictures and links to videos.

3 Least Favorite Classes This Semester

3. Audio and Radio Production

It's semi interesting, but it's 2 hours and 40 minutes long.  I can't do anything for that long let alone try to pay attention to one thing.  The professor is really cool and down to earth, but the class is just too long.  We're there from 6:00-8:40 and maybe it's just because it's fairly late at night I hate it, but I'm always up late so I think it's just too long of a class.  It may only be once a week and it may be an easy A, but I can't even sit still for more than like 30 minutes.

2. Spanish

Need I say more?  It's mainly the professor I think.  I had her last semester for Spanish 1 and she was great, so I took her again for Spanish 2 and she is the opposite of great.  Maybe it's just the upgrade from Spanish 1 to Spanish 2, because Spanish 1 is an introductory course and since I took Spanish before, I knew a lot of it and it was fairly easy.  Now, first day of Spanish 2, she comes busting through the door speaking full sentences in Spanish and everyone in the class, including me, didn't seem to like that.  She's a very nice person, but she just can't teach Spanish at a higher level.

1. Media Writing.  Nah kidding it's Diversity and Equity in Schools. (Anthropology)

It's the most boring class I've ever take in my entire life.  It's basically the professor being like, "you know how there's different races of people and different upbringings?", and we're like "...yeah?", and she's like, "every race behaves differently".  Wow would have never guessed that thanks prof.  Some of the topics are interesting, but overall I'd rather be anywhere else...even Media Writing (haha).  On a lighter note, the professor is very nice and knowledgeable, but every time I walk into that class I just wanna turn right around.  AND THEN she has us read like 15-20 pages articles about some school I don't care about that did a social experiment or whatever.  Like why is this a required class for a Communications Major, or any major for that matter.  I'm probably just salty that it's the most work, but I mean it really is boring.  Rant over.   

3 foods I couldn't live without

3.  Peanut Butter

I feel bad for the people that can't have peanut butter because they're allergic, but I honestly feel like it's worth the risk of dying.  I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day.  It's a good midnight snack, lunch, dinner, breakfast, you name it.  

2. Kit Kats

I'm not a chocolate lover, but Kit Kats are fantastic.  Even the sound they make when you eat one is great.  A crunchy, satisfying bite and they're made in perfect little sticks.  Anyone that eats the Kit Kats as one big bite, is a monster and should put on a watch list.   

Chips and salsa is great snack and it's semi healthy because it had tomatoes in it, or at least that's what I tell myself.  A timeless snack at Super Bowl parties and a great snack for just whenever.  If you don't like spicy food, just get "mild" salsa, it's good too.  Personally, I go with "medium", I like a little kick.

Snow Day

Almost every Wednesday for the past 3 weeks, we've gotten snow, and a lot of it.  We got snow the Wednesday before spring break and now the Wednesday after spring break.  I haven't had my Wednesday classes in 3 weeks and it's been amazing.  I'm missing Spanish and Philosophy, I like philosophy, but Spanish I could go without.

The next time I have my Wednesday class it's going to feel like a year.  What would be great, is if Thursday classes are cancelled too because I don't classes on Fridays so the weekend would start early for me.  Also Thursday is my longest day so I would be ecstatic if Thursday classes were either cancelled or delayed.

Hopefully missing all these classes won't affect how much work the class has.

I always love the snow until I remember I gotta shovel it, but now I'm pretty sick of it overall.  I just want it to nice enough to go outside and I'll be happy.

Snow...bad or good?

Peanut Butter

I don't think I would survive without peanut butter.  I have peanut butter almost every day.  At night I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Some people like nutella or marshmallow fluff, but the original peanut butter and jelly is just too good.

It's easy to make, it's fairly healthy because it's got fruit in it.  Well at least, that's what I tell myself.  Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are just a cheap, easy way to get a full meal.  It's very filling for me because I put way too much peanut butter.  The ratio from peanut butter to jelly is 3:1 for me.  I've seen some people just put peanut butter on bread and eat that.  Gross.  That's a dry sandwich if I've ever seen one.  You need the jelly in order to not choke and die from the peanut butter sticking to your mouth.

I am also a fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches.  I feel like fruit in general with peanut butter would be pretty good.  I can't think of a fruit that wouldn't be good with it because all fruit is sweet and peanut butter is like sweet and salty, so together it's just a good combo.

What do you like with peanut butter?  Do you not like peanut butter?  If you don't have an allergy and don't like it, what else is wrong with you?   

Why So Cereous

Plenty of good cereals out there, but as a kid, you always want the sugariest ones.  Cookie Crisp, literal cookies and milk, passed as breakfast cereal.  When I was a kid, my favorite cereal was that Oreo cereal.  I don't think it's made anymore because it was just a bowl of Oreos with some marshmallows in it.  I don't even think there was any kind of requirement for cereal when I was a kid.  Everyone was just okay with the unhealthiest possible cereal.

As you get older, you start liking the cereals that weren't your favorite when you were a kid.  My favorite cereal as of today is Honey Nut Cheerios.  Just an overall, good cereal.  Has a lot of flavor and isn't unhealthy.  Apparently it can help with like heart disease or heart health too because they always advertise that on the box.  I highly doubt that, but I feel like they know that I can't disprove them so they just put that on there.

I used to love Cinnamon Toast Crunch and now I hate it.  It's too sugary and the milk afterwards is gross.  It's full of cinnamon sugar and it just tastes like I'm gonna regret it later on in life when I have to give myself insulin.

Do you have a favorite cereal?
