Holy Procrastination, Batman!

School
Really busy, stressed, going crazy. Too much to do all at the same time. Got to study my ass off tonight for a test tomorrow and meet with one of my TWO group projects' groups.

Work
I'm picking up all the shifts I can at work because my money's dwindling. Not like you think, I'm not nearing $0 or anything; but I like to keep at least $1000 in my account at all times, and if I go below that I get nervous. It's sad that I used to like to keep at least $4000 in it or I'd get nervous until I spent my life away in Spain 'cause of the pitiful-ass American dollar. Le sigh.

Killing Myself
So for a long time I've wanted to learn to skateboard or longboard, but a brand new longboard goes for anywhere from $130-200, typically. I noticed in the Marketplace feature on facebook last night that a friend of mine was selling his longboard, which was basically brand new, barely used, bearings and everything in great condition, only problem is some scratches on the bottom of the board from going over curbs, for $75. So I told him I was interested; then I asked if he'd go down to $60 (not unless no one would buy it at $75); then I thought about it all the rest of last night and today; and this afternoon I told him I wanted it. Bada bing, bada boom.


Also, I hate my bike. I love my single speed bike that I got in third grade; but I hate the piece of shit Schwinn mountain bike I bought when I came to Baylor. Riding it is the opposite of enjoyable. A few friends of mine work at the Waco Volunteer Bike Center, so I'm gonna see if I can possibly trade it in for a nice road bike instead. *fingers crossed*

Music
I'm in a musical rut lately. I'm pretty sick of just about everything in my collection and ready for something new. In the meantime I've found a British singer called Adele who is keeping me entertained, but soon I will tired of her, too, so suggest some good music to me. Now.

In conclusion, can't wait to spend the weekend with my baby, and I'm probably going to horribly maim myself with my new longboard which I shall probably obtain on Friday. Woo!

XOXO,
Ash

I Can Make A Pussy Purr With A Stroke Of My Hand.

Cat Scratch Fever
I saw Ted Nugent today at Katie's Custard. Apparently he lives in Crawford, which is only about 18 miles outside of Waco. He was wearing the same hat as in this picture of him I found on Wikipedia:


Giving Back
I did some community service on Saturday with some friends from school. This is my and Jesse's take on the famous painting American Gothic by Grant Wood:


I guess I'm too tired and out of it for much else.

XOXO,
Ash
