I need Women's Studies- Gender Issues for a Global Woman, to graduate. The teacher is a middle aged, hispanic woman. She seems to be a little funny... case in point, her syllabus under course guidelines...
"Aaaaww... your teacup shitzu is so cute, and I know you want to show it off; I would carry mine in my purse like you want to. Please don't bring it to class in your purse, though. You can show me in pictures, however, when walking to or from class, or during my office hours. The same goes for your pet dog, cat, chipmunk, or elephant. They are just too cute, especially with the furry collars! They cry though, and my lectures aren't crying worthy. If they cry, I cry."

Gas
I drive 300-500 miles per week. I live 10 miles from my college, 3 miles from work, so if I go to work each day and school I'm doing easily close to 40 miles. You have to factor in other days I have allergy shots, I go hang out with friends, I have to make a trip to the grocery store, things like that. When you add it all up it is close to 300-500 miles.
I kept a record of everytime I filled up the gas tank in 2007 because I have an aunt in Indiana who always encourages me to keep records of this stuff (as if it is important or something). She told me to do it to at least see how much I drive, see how much I spent on gas, and stuff like that. This woman keeps records each month of the cost of her phone bill, gas, electric, water, and gas for the car. Obsessive? I think. Unnecessary? I think. Anyways, to appease her I did it.
Here are the results:
Miles driven: about 20,000 in 2007
Lowest amount paid for gas: 2/1/2007 for $2.37
Highest paid: 5/15/2007 for $3.49 per gallon
So how much did I spend on gas in 2007?
$2,431.10
I do have a big, full sized car with a big, bad V8. I usually average 24-30 miles per gallon on the highway and 18 or so in the city. This year I have done a lot more freeway driving because of my going out.

What a way to relax... I mean study
So let me take a moment to set the mood:
- 4 scentless candles burning above my TV
- under 2 warm and velvety blankets on my bed
- 1 giant overstuffed pillow to lean up against
- a cinnamon air freshener to spice up the room and get you into the Christmassy mood
- Jim Brickman CD playing in the background
- a mug of extra marshmallow hot chocolate
- Spanish notes scattered about my lovely queen size bed
While the above might sound romantic minus the Spanish notes, it is certainly not the way to study. In fact it relaxed me so much, it put me to sleep... and I have a final in 14 hours... I'm not going to sweat it. It's Spanish, it'll be facil.

Sometimes I think my dad is blind...
I leave notes for everything... always important things... like when I need money. I left this note on his coffee maker the other day reminding him I needed a $100 check for new retainers for my teeth. He missed that note. How can he? My purpose of putting it on the coffee pot was he makes his own coffee every morning, so he'd open up the lid to put the new filter in and see the note. He still missed it.
