Time	Event
11:03a	I need more coffee...and valium. Ok, so yesterday's midterm SUCKED! In fact, it sucked so much I had to go to the bar to talk about how much it sucked with my classmates. It sucked THAT much. I only had one Guinness though, not too big of a deal, although I really just wanted to get wasted and not go to work today, but it's been forever since I've been here, so I had to make an appearance. He had given us the midterm the Wednesday section took and last semester's midterm, and both were so easy I could have done them in my sleep. I thought that the two previous midterms be a pretty good indicator of what would be on this midterm....apparently not. 30% of the grade was T/F,and I think I did alright on that. The first main math-y question was alright, not exactly what was on any of the other exams, but I think I did alright. That was work like 35%. The last question, also worth 35% was totally out of left field. He made up some weird fund where you invested in something like eurodollars, but it was like a eurodeposit, but it interest in coupons twice a year, so the interest was all messed up, and he wanted to know all these things that like...weren't possible. We never studied anything nearly this complicated. By the end of that question, my brain felt like it had been replaced with really watery oatmeal, and it was literally trickling out my ears while I finished the exam. I was literally chuckling to myself because I was totally making stuff up. The thing is, I doubt I got any of that question right because it had a,b,c,d,e parts, and part a was impossible, and if you don't get part a....you are pretty much screwed for the rest of the question. Good times. On the upside, I got a 103% on my marketing midterm! Yes!!!!! This sets my mind at ease considering how much we screwed up on that damn presentation. I'm going to be a total controlling bitch next time around though. That will NOT happen again. *cracks whip* Omg. I'm so ready to be done with school. Tonight our friends with kids are coming over for dinner, which is weird. They're proper grown ups, by which I mean they have two kids and own a brownstone, and they're both 30ish. I have no idea what I'm going to cook. I'm thinking salad, grilled marinated steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli with gourmet mushrooms sauted with garlic and such. Oh yeah, and wine...maybe sugar free blueberry tarts. I always wig out when people eat my cooking. You know how if you eat at someone's house, you have to say it's good because it's good form or etiquette or whatever? For this exact reason, I disregard all food-related compliments, so I always worry about whether it's actually good or not. I know this is retarded, but I can't help it! GAH!!

11:58a	Update on other stuff My friend Liz is all screwed up. It's...a quasi pregnancy. Placenta, sack, rising hormones, all there. Baby? Nope. Seriously weird. And the other growth is growing..so she needs surgery asap, but her boss sucks and cancelled her health coverage despite the fact that she's on medical disability, and now she's saying she won't file COBRA forms unless Liz pays her like $1200 in back coverage payments, which ummm..isn't legal. So everyone cross your fingers for Liz! Allstate wants to give me my own agency...well, not exactly give. I guess that's the problem. Of course there are strings attached. I think they want to know taht I can make it if the business doesn't do well, which means they want to see like 40k in the bank. Um yeah. I'm 25, and my husband is a full time student. They are smoking some good crack if they think I have that kind of cash. If I did, I would have already started my own business. Plus, I need to find out which expenses I'd be responsible for...gah. I don't know. Everything is so...complicated. Sometimes I feel like a teenager inside, and I'm just like....I'm deciding what? People are asking me if I want a business? Really? Do they realize that I'm totally 17? How did I get married? How do I even have a job? I'm talking about changing careers? When did all this happen? I think there whould have been some sort of memo sent to me at some point, because wow. Now my friends have kids. I don't know when that happened either. That was an odd divergence. Anyhow. Allstate. Big opportunity, but not sure if I can afford it. Plus, it would suck for a few years, and I'd almost certainly need another car, but at least I would be the boss! (another odd and somewhat ridiculous idea. It would be like playing boss, but even that would be fun.) I can't wait to start using my camera! I should start on the annual report. BOO!
