For those who care:

I have not blogged in two weeks. My last couple blogs were enough to make people puke. I think people probably read a part of them, an then were like, “I give up.” Brains turn off. B my last post once. She read maybe five sentences, and went to another web page. I asked why, and she said, “I don’t understand it.” Well, after five sentences neither would I. I figure some of my readers may be in that same boat. For that, I apologize for a boring blog.

So, for those who still care, here’s what’s on my mindgrapes.

• Miss Fifi is crawling everywhere, jabbering, boosting herself up onto things, opening cupbords, getting stuck in baskets, throwing tantrums, and sticking everything possible into her mouth. Even things ten times her size. I sure do love her.
• In the last two weeks, I had to correct a final grading error from my last math class. My instructor had calculated my grade incorrectly, and, apart from that, screwed more than half the class out of a higher grade. I called her on my grade, and she changed it thankfully. How many students get the wrong grade and don’t even notice it? I hope not many. Double check your professors. Some of them do break rules.
• The University calculated my credits taken and GPA incorrectly. I applied to USU on Saturday, and all they needed was my transcript, so before I sent it, I checked it. I worked out manually my credits awarded, applied, some retakes, blah blah blah. The result was that the school had it wrong. So, Monday, I called and complained. Then left voice mails. Sent emails. Sent more emails. I called everyday until today I finally got an email back– they’d fixed my transcript, and for having messed up, they sent a new transcript to USU free of charge. Yeah. So, I’d already spent 15 bucks on bum transcripts. I’ll never get that money back. Moral: Check your transcripts. Make sure they’re right
•  I probably wouldn’t have done the above things had I not done haggling before. I appreciate Comcast, T-Mobile, AT&T, the Caddo Nation, the Federal Government, and UVU’s very own financial aid department for teaching me how to complain so that something gets done the way it was supposed to get done.  If any of these guys had done their job correctly, I wouldn’t have learned how to assert myself when something goes wrong. Thank you crappy companies. You’re making me a proactive adult.
• I was asked by a local artist, Rachel Ann, to play guitar for her at her CD release show. Many people don’t care to know this about me, but I can play the guitar pretty well. I can play many different styles. I could be better if I practiced, but isn’t that the case with everyone? I don’t think she’s ever heard me, but she’s showing a lot of faith in my by asking me to play with her band. I’m not gonna lie, I’m stoked. I didn’t think I’d ever play guitar live again with school, responsibility, and Ryan moving to S.C. and everything else that needs my attention. So yesterday she sent me the tracks, and I learned them all in a couple of hours. I felt bad because she was making lead sheets for me and now I didn’t need them. Oh well. They’ll help for memorization. There were only six tracks. I think it will be an awesome show.
• First Calc 3 test Saturday. Not excited. I’ve gone over and over the stuff, but I still feel like it’s not quite up to par yet. Wish me luck. It’s on partial differentials, and using lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimums of 3-D functions. If you don’t know what that means, just be glad you’re not in my shoes. I think I’ll do well, I think I’ve finally learned how to study for tests. Took me long enough.
• With all this math, I feel like my artistic side is suffering. I feel  like I need an  art vacation.
• B and I have awesome conversations about society, common perceptions of everyday life, and our goals in life. We have conversations about money, about science, about politics, and about philosophy. I’d like to podcast it. I think we will. But I don’t think anyone would listen. We’ll see. We need to get around to recording something to test. I’ll keep you updated.

That’s really everything that’s on my mind.
