typos suck

my mom left early this morning, before i got up, and took all the kittens to give them away. out of 10 kittens, we now only have one. and he's such a good kitten too. we might keep him, if we can get him, um, unmanly (poor thing will never look at a female cat the same way again). but if you guys want a very cute orange male kitten, we have one.

now all we have to do is catch and get rid of the stupid wild cats.

i woke up this morning feeling pretty good. i haven't been able to sleep in for two weeks, since last weekend we left early to cruces. it's warm outside, sunny, still a little windy, my brother left to santa, and i'm going to mess with the computer. now if i could only finish all 14 chapters of notes in 2-3 hours, i'd have a perfect day.

freaking out on thursday sorta made me think about what i've wanted to do this whole year. so for this summer i'm going to:

clean my room. go through with boxes and a garbage bag and box or throw everything that i never use away. meaning everything except school stuff (pens, stationary, etc.), my beading and hemp stuff, my camera stuff, my cd's (and accessories), and my books. i plan to have my room completely empty, so that it'll be easier to paint it/move around in it. oddly, i have this thing with everything having to be perfect, organized, and yet my room is really messy. it makes me twitch now, so that has to be changed.

excercise. yeah i know, pathetic, but i haven't really moved around (let alone actually tried to excercise) since freshman basketball tryouts. if i wasn't in drama, and didn't hate T so much, i wouldn't have quit the team and not tried out again. hey, who knows, i'd probably be going out for varsity next year. same with soccer. no time for drama, and having to put up with an insane coach. i've always had a thing against softball, so i would've never gone out for it. i think it's the whole underhand pitching thing and the fact that it's not a soft ball, it's just a really really huge ball. i'd much rather still be playing baseball. but anyway, i'm gonna see if i can afford any yoga classes that are going to be out there, and who knows maybe i'll even go to the wellness center and work out a couple days a week. but given how much i dislike being around people i used to know, that probably will never happen.

code more/learn more about computers. so i did sorta make up my mind, i want to do something with computers in college. i really want to learn everything i can about computers, and programming, setup, and everything else. i get satisfaction when i can outsmart the evil computers. it makes me feel like i've accomplished something. and you know, maybe this will help me get a job next year.

yes, next year. i really don't want to get a job this summer. i know that i need the money, but i'm just not ready to take on that responsibility. i'm still prone to forgetting things really easily, and i don't think that would be a good thing in a job. now if i could find something where i work alone, on something that i know about, with people who don't scare the crap out of me, then i might get a job. but right now, i'm not looking, i'm not trying, and i really don't feel like i can handle a job.

narrow down colleges. or rather actually find colleges. right now i only have 3 names: berkeley (which probably will never happen, although everyone in my family says that i could totally get into berkeley, and would fit in really well. not to mention UC employees get in-state tuition. but you know, UC might not get the lab contract in '05, so then where would that leave me?), colorado state (just because it's in colorado, and colorado=skiing. well, and that it's decently close to new mexico), and of course nmsu (not so much because it's close to home, just that i know cruces already, and i know that i like cruces. nmsu is one of the top engineering colleges out there, and it won't cost my parents crap for me to go there, given that i'd probably get full-ride. yes, it's my safety school, but my safety school looks really good right now).

other than that, i don't know. i'll probably apply to UVA for alex, even though i don't really want to go east coast, and tuition is something to think about. the only other colleges i've given thought to are ones in washington/oregon.

so yeah. that's the plan. who knows if i'll actually go with the plan or just sit on my ass all summer like i have every year before this. bah.

now i'm gonna see if i can hook up our scanner and get our two computers networked. fun. oh yeah and that whole 14 chapters of notes thing. damn, i almost forgot about that.
