Here is a food that I definitely need to feed David and Peter when they come visit. Poundcake with cool whip and strawberries. Not just any strawberries mind you, but ones that have been chopped up and mixed with sugar and allowed to sit a bit. Yum yum! And it looks like next weekend I'll be going up to Lake Davis. My boss said that I should take David up to the lake with me sometime, so I'll see if I can save one of the weekday trips for when he is here. Would definitely be fun. And tomorrow after work we're going to have pizza.
Oh, they hired on my favorite intern already. The nice one. She'll be doing some of the Lake Davis stuff with me. The intern I don't really like got sent home from work today to change his clothes. He came in smelling very strongly like smoke, YUCK! My boss took one whiff of him and told him to come back when he was suitable for an office.
I've been cleaning my apartment today a bit. I've located the floor of my room again, picked up the living room and bathroom, got all of the dishes into the dishwasher. Maybe if I do a little bit each and every morning/night, it won't be so bad? My current strategy is to reward myself with Puzzle Pirate missions whenever I've worked on my apartment for 20 minutes. Tomorrow I'd like to vacuum at least two rooms. And maybe bring a box in from the car to start filling with stuff to take back to my parents' place. I don't think I'll be needing a three-hole punch anytime soon, or a box filled with envelopes, or a good number of my electronic stuff that I haven't touched in awhile. We'll see. I don't want to go home for awhile, but it wouldn't hurt to try and get at least one of these plastic cases with drawers in my room empty enough to take home next time.

Horrible Blogger :(
Ok, I REALLY am going to make some effort to get back to blogging each day. Things have started to get crazy here, and the last thing I want at the end of the day is something else that I should do. I've been avoiding anything in the 'should' category for awhile at home. But I have plans to work more on that! I did laundry yesterday, even put most of it away.
I spent the weekend visiting my family. I think I'll avoid visiting them again until after David gets here. My dad is obviously unstable. And my mom is back to treating me like a child again. I was telling my mom about something one of my professors mentioned in class, more as a joke than anything, 'did you know peanuts cause cancer?' and my dad who is walking out of the room, charges back in and says, "WHERE'D YOUR PROFESSOR PULL THAT FROM, HIS ASSHOLE?" I'm not sure what's gotten into him. It was just so out of nowhere for him to go off the hook like that. This type of behavior is what made him so difficult to live with when I was a teenager.
My mom hasn't been much better. She would order me around like I was 12. She'd nag and nag at me to go pack up my stuff hours early, so that I could have time with my relatives when they visit. I would think that when it comes to something like packing, /I/ would know when I need to pack things up. So I ended up sitting on the couch for 2 hours with nothing to do while my mom quilted.
My family is filled with freaks.
Maybe I'll go up to Lake Davis next weekend and earn some money or something instead.

Been a bit busy.
Not JUST playing puzzle pirates, thank you very much. I spent 10 hours at work today. We had a rush project that took up most of the day. Ick! I got home at 6 and made myself some tacos for dinner. You still can't see the floor of my room though. I've been promising myself, over and over, that I'll get my room picked up, but it hasn't happened. Each day I try to pick something up, but I think I'm trashing it faster than I can clean it. Maybe tomorrow morning I can clean it while talking to someone on skype. I told my boss that I would probably be in late tomorrow since I worked an extra 3 hours today. Even though I worked overtime, I don't get paid overtime. I'll just shift the hours around so that they aren't all on the same day. I really would like to get my apartment cleaned tomorrow. I'm going away this weekend and I hate coming home to a trashed apartment.
Maybe tonight I'll find time to pick up the floor a bit, we'll see. I haven't even played my Nintendo DS in a couple of days. I've been too tired to do anything besides sleep by the time I'm in bed in the evenings!
I hope this works as an excuse for why I haven't been updating my blog as often as I should be. I'm also in a somewhat BLAH stage. I don't quite know what I'm supposed to do with my time besides work (and clean). The most interesting thing going on in my life is the task of making lunch each day. I try to add as many side dishes as possible. Chips in a container, carrots, some dip for the carrots, bread, meat... You get the picture. Ok. Shower then bed. How is it almost 9 already?

Yohoho, Puzzle Pirates!
Avast! Pirates have stolen my time! Ok, so I stole my own time. I spent 7 and a half hours playing that Puzzle Pirates game yesterday WHILE talking to Peter. That doesn't include the time while talking to David or by myself. I guess it's only my own fault that my thank you cards aren't all written. I've hit a small roadblock though. I don't have all the addresses I need to send them. I'll try to send the ones I can as soon as I get stamps.
It's STILL raining! I'm thinking I might be lazy and drive to work today. It'll mean spending money at the parking meters for awhile, but I think I should. I have some boxes that I want to pick up and I wanted to take a small batch of flowers in to share. I don't need THIS many flowers here!
I'm feeling very tired this morning. I'm thinking about not going in to work early, waiting until 9am, and going to bed. *yawn*

TIRED
Wow... been a crazy day. But I went through the graduation ceremony. There were 23 people crammed into my little apartment. I'm going to spend tomorrow writing thank you notes. I really did quite well in terms of cash. Going to have to go deposit the checks too. My bank account is quite happy. And I don't think I got all of the mailed cards yet. I need to send out thank you cards. I'm going to have to write some out on unofficial cards cause I'm running out.
Oh, I got more flowers delivered today too.
Hmmm. A bit of sad news I forgot to tell you people about yesterday. My mom told me that they had to put Zia, our dog, to sleep. They think one of her tumors burst. She was 95 in dog years. I grew up with her. We got her when I was in 3rd grade I think. Perhaps second grade. It was sad, but at the same time, I've known it would happen for awhile.
In happier news, I'm eating leftover shrimp! weee!

30 hours a week
The boss has decided that we are only allowed to work 30 hours a week this summer. I should be annoyed at having less hours a week to work for the next couple of weeks... but at the same time... I'm glad to have SOME free time! They are going to bring in 3 or 4 interns in the next few weeks.
Tomorrow I will work, then meet a friend for dinner, then get drunk. I have a plan!

DONE!
I just finished my last final! Tomorrow morning I will return my textbooks and pick up my graduation gown and cap before work. I went to the evaluations office today and they said that as long as I pass all of my classes, I'm clear for graduation. Weee!
I will celebrate tomorrow by working a full day. Not so weee, but still required if I want cash.

Manual Transmissions
Did you know that it is almost impossible to find a manual car to learn to drive a stick shift on? I can't find any nearby car rental companies that have them. None of my friends have a manual. The only family that have manuals own sports cars. They aren't letting me learn to drive a stick on those! I was thinking to kill some time this summer with a learning attempt. But looks like it won't be happening. Maybe I'll just give up and get lessons when I get the money in Sweden.
My child development final today was relatively easy. I have faith that my score on that should be quite good. I'm more worried about my International Trade Economics final tomorrow. I've been studying a bit today.
Oh, and it's hot here. With the amount that my roommate is running the AC... I fear what our energy bill will be for this month.
EDIT: I will now inflict upon you the stuff I'm studying. Mwahahahaha.
When dealing with the demand for British pounds in the United States the curve is a normal, downward sloping demand curve. This is because as the pound depreciates relative to the dollar, the quantity of pounds demanded by Americans increases. Keep in mind we are measuring the price of the pound - the exchange rate - on the vertical axis. Since it is dollars per pound, it is the price of a pound in terms of dollars and an increase in the exchange rate (R), is a decline in the value of the dollar.
For Americans, British goods are less expensive when the pound is cheaper and the dollar is stronger. That means that at depreciated values for the pound, Americans will buy more British stuff. If they want to do that, they have to exchange dollars for pounds. This means that an increase in the demand for British goods leads to an increase in the quantity of pounds demanded.
On the supply side of the graph, the supply line slopes up because British firms and consumers want to buy a greater quantity of American goods as the dollar becomes cheaper. The brits have to buy dollars if they wish to buy American goods. So an increase in American goods demanded causes an increase in the quantity of foreign currency supplied to the states.
This is almost starting to make sense. Which is good cause the test on it is tomorrow afternoon!

I should probably be studying
... Instead I'm writing yet another blog entry!
I can't figure out what I wanted to write about, but I definitely felt the urge to blog.
I've been studying a lot today. I also went and got a free lunch. There were leftovers and I just happened to have a plastic container in my backpack. (I know, what luck... They often have leftovers and I knew it.) So now I have lunch for tomorrow too! Yeah!
Ok, I will now go back to studying. Although I won't study too much more tonight. My exam isn't until 10am tomorrow morning. I should have quite a bit of time to study before then. Especially with my usual early morning wakeup time. After the exam it will be off to work! Officially I start work at noon, but if I'm done with class before then, I'll go earlier. I need the cash with this exchange rate!

Scary
It's scary in a way how quickly this last year of university has gone by. I've spent all day so far (like 2 or 3 hours) studying. In two days I will have finished my last exam. I will not likely sit in a class at this university again. It is the end of one phase of my life and the beginning of another. Some things will change, others will not. The amount of support I'm getting from my parents will go down, but it will not be eliminated completely.
Since I got into the masters program and will be attending school, I'll still be on my parents insurance. My mom will help me with rent. I've figured out that I probably live completely on savings in Sweden without draining my bank account before I'm done with school. If I can get my mom to give me 300 USD a month that will almost cover rent. That's like a quarter of what she gives my little brother each month. 300 USD will get me like 2,100 SEK a month.
I also need to decide what to do about setting up a Swedish bank account. Do I transfer a large chunk of money over at once. Or just a smaller bit and hope the exchange rate improves? Life is so confusing sometimes!

Classes Over!
Well, I survived my last week of classes. I have two tests to go and a 15 minute meeting with a professor.
I went to the health center today and picked up a few medicines for my Swedish medicine kit.
I'm going to buy my mom a nice little suprise too. A friend of mine in Texas has a bunch of quilting things she wants to sell. 100 fat quarters for 50 USD plus shipping. That's quite a good deal.

3 days and 3 tests left!
I'm down to 3 days of school and 3 more tests. Two in Child Development and one in International Economics. Tomorrow I think I'm going to get a treat for myself and get Chinese food for lunch before going in to work early.
I had a fun quest today. I called up the Health Center to pick up more prescriptions and they say that my birth control isn't available there anymore. Apparently it went generic and the generic costs 30 dollars a month. The brand name one cost 5 dollars a month. I've now switched to the same brand new, but a different product name. It's almost the same, but has .01 mg more of whatever the hormone is a day. That's quite a lot when you consider that my current one only has .02 mg. It looks like the one I'm switching to is available in Sweden, so at least I shouldn't have to switch again anytime soon. I'm going to save the package insert so if this new one gives me problems, I can maybe see if I can switch back once in Sweden. I don't think there's a real reason to add MORE hormones to my body. That can't be a good thing to do under most situations.
Tonight! Study more because I'm going to have to run to the ATM machine (south campus) before 8am tomorrow morning, then back to the health center (north campus) then back to the other side of campus (east) for class, north campus again for the next class, then south campus for lunch, then far east campus for work. I'll be getting my exercise tomorrow! If I'm really lucky I'll get out of work before 5 so that I can pick up my paycheck before they close for the weekend. (That's south campus again).

Closer to being done
Well, today I turned in a paper and took a quiz. This leaves me with one more paper to write (by Friday... I should start), a quiz on Friday, a final on Thursday, and two finals next week. I have a nice neat little list where I cross things off as I complete them. I bet everyone is surprised that I have a list, right? I never make lists you know.
This time next week, I'll be done with my last test. A week to go, surviving that shouldn't be too difficult I hope.
Sunday is mother's day here. My mom will be coming on Saturday. I need to get her something nice. Maybe some material, or a card, or some flowers. Or perhaps all three and spoil her. It'll be the last Mother's Day present she's likely to get from me for awhile. I'm not going to mail her anything except a card from Sweden.
Ok, hopefully I'll get this paper done tonight. Wish my luck!

Exciting News!
Taranika is going to be moving to Sweden too! Weee! We are so going to do the Urban Cruise again. She's going to be an AuPair for a family there. She will be in Stockholm so I'll be able to visit. I'm so excited. I had to stop in the middle of this to call my mom and tell her. I was thinking about calling David, but I don't think he would appreciate it. It's a bit after 6am there.
Other exciting news? I'm done with two classes now. Nothing more to turn in, no tests. This leaves me with 4 classes to go. Maybe after that I'll find time to actually update my Swedish blog?

Photos!
My roommate helped me get a photo album set up. Weee! Right now I'm just uploading things. I've got pictures for like the last 6 years, so it is taking a bit. I'm almost done with the year 2000. Pretty soon I'll hit the hard years where I took lots of photos. Like my years in Sweden... that thought is scary.
I had a nice lunch with my grandfather today. It was relaxing and the food was yummy.
Those of you whose photos I have stolen, let me know if I should make them not visible to everyone or if you want them removed completely. I don't want pictures up there that make anyone unhappy. Oh, I should give you guys a url I suppose.

Yummy dessert and food
I bought myself a chocolate frozen yogurt with chocolate chips. I'm eating it between sentences. I know I shouldn't spend money on silly things, especially not on junk food. It's a waste of money AND it isn't healthy. But I really do love an occasional treat. I've decided I need to start a list of places to take David to eat when he's here. I should probably drag Peter to a few of these places too.
Italian food
Pizza
Smoothies
Frozen Yogurt
Mexican food (Both american version and the real thing)
Steak
Chinese food
Hula's Mongolian BBQ
Some sort of American place like Applebees
Baskin Robins
Milkshakes from Jack in the Box
This doesn't include the many grocery stores and just 'normal' American food I will be stuffing down their throats. Perhaps they deserve some pity? I will do my best to also feed them lots of salads and fresh fruits and veggies so that I don't send them back weighing twice what they originally weighed!

Ballroom Dance Night
I went to ballroom dance night tonight. It was ok. Not as much fun as class because I had to wear heels and a skirt. The room was way too warm too. I only stayed an hour, but that was long enough. Patrick was nice enough to drop me off and pick me up again so I wouldn't have to ride a bike or walk in heels. See, he isn't a complete loser, just mostly. He really is a nice guy, just a moron at times.
I finished a paper this morning, I'm going to talk it over with a classmate tomorrow before class and the professor after class. If I have time before class tomorrow, I'd like to get another paper finished up. That way maybe I can turn in two papers and have a bit less to do this weekend.
Hmmm. I was thinking about taking my shower tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but I just feel so ICK. I don't think I could sleep without a shower. Once my feet stop hurting for a minute, I'll go take a shower. Maybe I should get rid of shoes that hurt my feet so much, but they do look cute. Perhaps if I buy some sort of stick on sole to put on them or if I toughen my feet up and stop whining. The world should be designed in such a way that I can wear my running shoes all the time.
And today reminded me, yet again, that I really should get new makeup before going to Sweden. That mascara tube is on it's last legs. Not that I wear mascara very often anyways, but would be nice to have some that worked.

Organic Carrots
I'm eating organic baby carrots. They were half the price of regular ones. They don't have as good of a slicer/peeler as the normal ones do, but the price was right.
I also bought some juice, milk, frozen pizzas, freezer waffles, tortillas, a box of cereal, some ground beef, some sliced beef, and a few other things I can't think of right now.
I made up a list in class today of things I'm supposed to get done before the end of the school year. It's a somewhat long list, but not as bad as I expected. I really would like to get one or two things from the list done tonight, but we'll see. I'm feeling a bit tired.
I'm two-thirds of the way through my pound of carrots. Yum yum, dinner! (This has got to be healthier than eating icecream for dinner... but I think the salad dressing I'm dipping them in is ruining it a bit.)

I'm two-thirds of the way through my pound of carrots. Yum yum, dinner! (This has got to be healthier than eating icecream for dinner... but I think the salad dressing I'm dipping them in is ruining it a bit.)

Sleep
Well, what I really want to do is sleep, but today's class was really enlightening. I've realized that about a quarter of the KIDS in my class are married. One girl was talking to me before class. She's been married for a year and a half now. Someone asked her if they ever lived together before getting married, her answer... in a way. She and her 'eventual husband' bought a house together. He was supposed to live with his parents until they graduated. But the house got robbed once and she was scared. So he lived in another bedroom. They pushed the wedding forward because even that much was evil.
We discussed sex in class today, and we had a wide variety of views. One girl earns money for school by selling vibrators. Several others are still virgins. There were 19 girls and one guy in the class today. The guy is married.
Ok, now sleep.

New Webpage!
I have my very own new domain and hosting service now. www.jaenelle.net It just doesn't do much yet cause I haven't had any free time. I dumped a website from back in 2003 onto parts of it. Eventually I actually will have a cool webpage there. With photo albums and stuff. If I ever get REALLY bored, I'll put a different blog up there that'll let me do more with it. For now, this will work. I should probably go make dinner or find more homework to do soon. ICK. It seems to work pretty well so far. I've posted too many blog entries today and not done enough productive stuff.
Paper Done!
Well, my paper is finally done. It was ridiculously difficult to write for a 1250 word thing. I hit 1220 words if you include my footnotes, works cited, and title page. Good enough. I'll write reviews on three other people's papers later today.
By the way, all of you celebrating Valborg's in Uppsala.... I want lots and lots of pictures!
Speaking of pictures, does anyone know where I can buy/rent some server space somewhere? I'm thinking of getting my own little domain thing and setting up a picture page. Would be cool to have my albums online. Especially when I'm in Europe and my parents might want to see what I'm up to.
I need a bored, really nice, computer geek obviously. ;) Either that or time to learn how to make anything besides the most simple webpages. Last time I made a webpage I couldn't figure out how to put images into the actual page with text. Hehe.
