tinag496@aol.com — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:52:26 GMT

well another year is over and done with.
congrats to the graduates! it felt wierd watching all of the people i should be walking with graduate without me...i wish i was crossing that stage with them....stupid indecisive me changing my major 4 times. boo me. but i'm happy for the graduates and its not going to be the same without them (i'll miss u mommy :(..)
Good points of this semester were my freaking awesome internship. i learned a lot and it reinfored my passion for teaching....i was made for this.
My professors rock...well...most of them.
Presidency is equal parts bad and good....can't wait for november to roll around so i can pass on the gavel to someone else.
Quit working at the desk..woot
Dumped a guy for the first time...that was interesting. not a fun expirience.
made dean's list again...yays!

Things to look forward to next semester:
Final internship teaching all day every day :)
Graduating!!!!!
Getting my first apartment in Tampa
Hopefully getting hired after 10 weeks of teaching (then i can leave school early and start working)

Things not looking forward to:
paying rent
paying bills
possibly not getting offered a job after graduation

All in all i think its been a good semester... minus not really having a life outside of sorority, school and work...maybe i'll get one next semester...maybe

Relieved

tinag496@aol.com — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:25:31 GMT

So...I broke up with the boy tonight
There were no butterflies in my tummy
No spark
He's bummed
I'm relieved
The End

Pass!!

tinag496@aol.com — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:48:55 GMT

I passed my professional exam!!! Ahhhhh!!! soooo excited!

Only on the night shift at UT....

tinag496@aol.com — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:21:46 GMT

Yes....this really did happen:
Saturday night, a student came up to the desk and told the attendent:
student:"im so glad you are working, only you would believe this"
Attendent: "What do you mean?"
Student: "There is a man, running around plant park, naked, jacking off, and screaming in another language, high on acid."

wow

WTF?

tinag496@aol.com — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:20:52 GMT

I don't understand it...i really don't
how can someone tell you how great and wonderful you are...how much they love spending time with you....even that they are willing to drive 300 miles to see you and then just up and ditch you every time you go to hang out...and then completely stop talking to you altogether?
i keep wanting to blame myself....but i really think its these dumbass boys i keep picking.. they dont even get the title of "guy" let alone man...none of them deserve that title...
im so tired of the games...
tired of the promises with no follow through...
i'm tired of the guys who are supposed to be my friends hitting on me- I DONT WANT THEM! they are friends... just friends...thats all i want from them and i dont know how i can make that any clearer.
I'm done trying. I'm done looking.
Wherever that so called "prince charming" is, I hope he finds me...because I'm giving up on him...well..at least for the time being

- for two days in a row i had headaches
- quite a few people have asked if I'm ok
- i look haggard and tired most of the time
- i'm always tired
- I dont know the meaing of fun anymore
- people walking by the desk ask me if i have a life, because it doesnt appear that i do
- there isnt enough time in a week or weekend to get all my work done, let alone have
this thing called "fun"

spring break can't come soon enough
ps- 6 days and counting

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOMEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARRIAGE SEMINAR
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
He addressed the man,
"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says ......... "HEBREWS"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:0 0 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM " He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM . Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

25 years and still going strong

tinag496@aol.com — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 22:15:36 GMT

So today is my parent's 25th anniversary... the silver year
My mom comes home from work and shows me this little packet she put together for my dad:
a picture of them on their wedding day
a poem about marriage from their wedding album
and a poem she has has been making for the past 25 years

so i read this poem she wrote about her and my dad and how they were meant for each other, how they are soul mates and how lucky and blessed she is to have had him in her life.
im balling by the end of it and, like the sappy hopeless romantic that i am, hope and pray that i'll have that someday... to be lucky and blessed to be still in love with someone after 25 years...well.... 28 if u count the years they dated..its amazing. that is all for todays mushiness...

tinag496@aol.com — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 10:06:44 GMT

Which Disney Princess Are You?
	You are part Jasmine. You are loyal and would visit the ends of the earth for what you believe. You would never let obstacles stand in the way of true love.
	You are part Pocahontas. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate. Your true love will find you one day.

Ok so quick weekend update:
HP 7....absolutely flipping amazing....i have closure and thats always a good thing
Slip and slide...omg i had so much fun...miss all of the tampa people like crazy!

Now onto the juicy stuff....this part is slightly me bitching so if you dont wannt hear it skip to your next friends post

Yesterday started out great....until i got cabin 24 in the art room... ok so this senior has never been good..in all the years i have been at the camp so has he and he is asolutely horrible.... so yesterday he is up to his old antics of leaving his cabin of 26 kids to attempt to socialize with the girls in another room...my room (we have two art rooms connected by a door and he was on the other side of mine)...so anyways, i proceed over to the next room to tell him to sit with his kids (at this point they are getting out of control) and then i leave.... i go back 10 minutes later to find him roaming in a corner with his other 4 counslors, leaving the kids to themselves...again... so i kindly ask them again to find a seat with their kids and disperse. i go back to my room only to see them looking through the door window staring at the girls in our cabin...at this point im pissed off and i storm to the door, bust it open and tell them once again to go find a seat... at which point this counslor gets in my face....about 3 inches(btw hes like 6 feet and im 5...damn people thinking they can intimidate me with size..im a bona fide little napolean bitch! that dont work!)..and asks me why im being so evil and mean...at which point i tell him its not his job to be staring at girls in my room or hddling in a corner with his counslors but to be with his kids at a table... so i slam the door and go back to my room...in the meantime he goes back in the room and starts talkin to his counslors saying im a bitch and why and i so mean... nick hears this at approaches him and says "shes my sister".the counslor stares at him and says "seriously? is she always this evil" at which point nick says "oh, well, she doesnt like people who dont do their jobs!" (love you nick! oh and when he say the guy get in my face he got all protective botherly and tols me afterwards that had he gotten any closer he would have punched the uy's lights out...awesome!)... so yeah..i went and told my superior about it and she is pissed... oly probelem is this guy is being protected by higher ups at the camp so i really dont see anything happening about it... but yeah..so that is my story.

Pirate for a day....or life?

tinag496@aol.com — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:16:17 GMT

To the delight of many..and disapointment of allies.... i have made a deacision to change camps based on events beyond my control....and some of my free will.
I have come ot the full realization that i am, in fact, a pirate.
I waved a fond farwell to my ninja persona today and embraced my full pirateness.

A few things that changed my mind:

#1: Today, me and nick were chosen to be the lead pirtes in a treasure hunt, playacting for 4 year olds and it was flipping amazing!!! nick got all into character and the kids thought he was an actual pirate....anyays...it was amazing...and come on...when would someone ever ask me to playact a ninja? really now...
#2: Me and Ash have been calling each other pirate buddies for years.... lots and lots of years...and this is before i knew about the age old battle between pirates and ninjas.
#3: pirates have more fun! and arent so flipping serious (except for will turner but its ok...hes hott)
#4: booze is good.

So its done...no going back now... which is good....change is definitely good right now!
Arrrrrrrr

Grawr

tinag496@aol.com — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 23:39:12 GMT

unbelievable...but true!

tinag496@aol.com — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 23:06:44 GMT

Too absurd to be true?
This may explain why the US Government is in the shape that it's in!
A Washington DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why the
country (USA) is in trouble!
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that
her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to
Capetown. I started to explain the
Length of the flight and the passport information. Then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts ." Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa . Her response - click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida
package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He
said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not
possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't
lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!"

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, "Is it possible to
see England from Canada ?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close
on the map."

5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could
rent a car in Dallas . When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had
only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a
car he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to
drive between gates to save time." (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know
how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 am and got to
Chicago at 8:33 am. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told
her the plane went at supersonic speed, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your
physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to
whom?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in
with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said "FAT", and I'm
overweight. I think that's very rude!"
After putting her on hold for a minute while I looked into it (I was
laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , CA is "FAT"
(Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag
on her luggage.

8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to
fly to California, and then take the train to Hawaii ?"

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked,
"How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant,
to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these
planes have numbers on them."

10. A lady Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola ,
Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked
if she meant fly to Pensacola , Fl. On a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah,
whatever, smarty!"

11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents
he needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about
passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been
to China many times and never had to have one of those." I double checked
and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said,
"Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my
American Express!"

12. A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, "I want
to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York ." I was at a loss for words.
Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what
flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, I came back
with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country
and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh, don't be silly!
Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" So I scoured a map of the
state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo , do you?"
The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."

happy dance!!!
