Reasons to frown

Ok, so we have a smiling thread. This thread is for all of the little dumb things that make you frown, or angry, or sad, etc., etc.
I'll start. I had chili for lunch today. I brought some crackers for the chili and a banana for breakfast. THE CRACKERS ABSORBED THE BANANA FLAVOR THROUGH THE BAG, SO I HAD BANANA FLAVORED CHILI FOR LUNCH! >:(
my counselor never submitted my transcript, even though I asked him if he had two weeks ago and he said yes!
now it's past the date of when I was s'pose to apply for early action.
Now I probably will not get my letter of rejection/acceptance for at least 2 months.
fucking fuck fuck.
this means I have to apply to other schools and pay for it.
if I had gotten rejected, I would have applied to other schools.
but now I wont know for awhile and I can't wait to submit them.
that's 40 $ each school.
we don't have 40 dollars.
I'm so fucking pissed off you do not even know.
I am going to a sleepover tomorrow at the school.
had my counselor submitted my transcript, I would have known the acceptance/rejection beforehand.
I hated it when this type of thing would happen. I'd be so good about getting all the parts of my application done early, and I'd ask for transcripts/recommendations early. And check on them. And check again. And there were always about 2 teachers/counselors who completely procrastinated. And then I felt bad for annoying them by reminding them. Way to set an example.
Last year one of my recommendations for vet school was a little bit late. I let the person know 3 months ahead of time, and reminded her about 5 times in between. -_-
They might take you for EA anyway, depending on the time frame before they make their decisions. Schools tend to give a little more leeway with documents you can't be 100% responsible for.
Courth, this may or may not help you....but I've found it helps me and others I've shared it with.....(even helps you gain a bit of respect from the counselor).
Is to completely throw away the goal of being 'happy' more....Just focus on being 'okay' more. Inevitably, I found when I'd focus on being happy, if I wasn't happy, I'd be harder on myself. Instead, I focus on being okay, the more I'm okay, the less I'm bad/sad....which then leads to more happy times....but ever so slowly. There have been times when I've answered relieved nearing gleeful that I was 'okay'.....Does that make sense?
Dessie, breathe, listen to fb, she speaks truth.
It is cold outside tonight, I decided to move my 100+lb ac unit out of my bedroom window so I could be a wee bit warmer. Surprisingly, I was able to remove it with minimal effort.... (G installed it over the summer) Unfortunately, I cannot remove the support shelf G built for it because he bore out the heads of the screws he used to mount it to the sill!!!
The window is a clam shell crank, so I have garbage bags filled with pillows stuffed into the openings in an attempt to cut out the drafts.
And, D didn't realize how late it was getting (doing laundry) or how cold it is (bicycle commuter in 30's temps).....so he's not coming over tonight. I don't feel comfortable with spending the night over at D's right now, because Briggs' tumor is in a growth spurt....
I need to take the casserole out of the oven, since he's not coming. And I'll be in a potentially chillier bed sleeping alone tonight.
on the bus yesterday, the person beside me was wearing perfume that smelled like bug spray. The person in front of me smelled like mothballs. :s
My back is getting worse....=o(
I have heartburn.

Eurghhhh, yes, there are far too many (usually elderly) women who seem to think that fly spray is perfume. I can't think where they find such cheap and nasty perfumes.
it's gonna get below freezing this weekend w/ wind chill making it 0*/-0*
I'm having a really hard time being far away from all of my close friends. I wish that moving in with other friends helped, but so far it hasn't made up for the absence of the mutually important relationships. :( too many lonesome days
heli, fay, it was weird because both were young (20s)! it wasn't even "old lady perfume" smell. weeeeird.
snow. :(
snow. :(
give that here. right now.
i have a paper and a project to finish. today. Due to concert going tomorrow. And i just woke up at 430pm. Hello lack of time to do things.
*hands Sarah snow*
take it... all of it!
I love the beauty of it and the concept, but the cold.. not so much.

THIS. I know where they get them. The cheapo Chinese dollar-shops. They all have an undertone of bugspray, which makes me worry about what our skin is absorbing.
Yesterday sitting next to my student who REEKED of hairspray. Positively reeked. I couldn't see what she had "done" to her hair until I realised it was dead straight...and her hair is curly. She had ironed it and then sprayed the livin heck out of it to make it stay. Yergh. Goodbye ozone layer.
step dad just got deployed for iraq and was wounded now needs half of his foot amputated
"friends" selling out and being lame as hell
getting my wisdom teeth pulled
dealing with scummy kids at school
kids my age
all close friends joined the army and are gone now (training)
community college that is easier than high school
my tofu expired
not being able to sleep
And a guy from the national guard that is suppose to help with the "military lifestyle" when you have a family member over there. My stepdad reenlisted so he can afford to retire, but this guys says he knows how my family feels because he too grew up in a military household where things were rough when it came to having enough money. Anyways, I did some asking around the military support groups and online and found this dude grew up in fucking New Canaan were the average income is 80,000 a year. Also both of his parents are physicians.
Now i dont know all everything about his life, but something doesnt add up about his story.
jake,
When I went to a pricey private lib arts school, I took a geology class that was straight from my 5th grade science class..... Needless to say, I wasn't pleased.
Hang in there.
I have a migraine...and Briggs (cat w/ tumor) won't stop messing with his eye (location of tumor).... He just reopened a wound he gouged into his lid with his dewclaw.... His eye is watering/tearing up horribly.... and I don't have the money to take him to the vet so I can get a refill on his prednisone....

Yeah it sucks, I work my ass off a a steak house making burger patties, cooking 20lb roasts, making home made sausage (with the casing, ehh) only to spend all my money on a class i am not learning anything in :/
and im really sorry about your cat. I had a dog with horrible stomach tumors and it got to the point where I brought her to the vet and gave her some good ear rubs while they put her down (i paid the extra money to get the sedative first, that way she was relaxed and comfortable.) I know some of you probably dont agree with it but its something we have to face, and it brought me peace of mind knowing she was not suffering anymore. It was basically what was good for both of us.
how much does the medication cost?
The meds only cost $15-$20...the vet visit costs $50. Unfortunately, despite the fact he's been in twice in the past 6 months for urinary tract issues, since he hasn't been seen for the cancer in over 2 years, he needs a full examination before they'll write the scrip.
My stoopid kitten jumped onto my altar, knocking off and breaking a one-of-a-kind Zuni salamaner fetish for which I paid a premium. :'(
She's lucky I'm vegan or I'd be having baked kitten for dinner. >:(

I know how that feels, I had a friend make me a little Baset statue for my alter like 5 years ago, my cat at the time knocked it off and cracked it in half. I was soo mad! she ended up fixing it for me, but when we moved 3 years later it got smashed to bits by my husband's dad >:(
