17 days. 17 more days of this shit until summer, for me anyways, is officially over. 17 days before I take the final in a class I've been putting off for the longest time and putting in a ton of work just so that I can barely pass. 17 days before I can go home and help out with harvest, make enough money so that not only don't I have to work at all for the remaining school year, but have enough saved up for a nest egg to live off for when I'm done school. 17 days before the purgatory that is Spanish 110 and the hotbox of a house I live in with a roomie I don't like is over. Today was a bit of a busy day for me. I got up at around six and drove to the uni instead of walked so that I can fit in some last minute cramming for a test that was supposed to be yesterday. After busting my ass studying so that I can bring my average past 51, I think I did fairly well on the test. The preterit didn't bother me too much this time around. And I also got my first composition back, and got the first good mark I've gotten in a month. I was really proud of that since it brought my average up to a 52%, which is exactly where I want it to be. I just want to get the credits. I go back home and cleaned the kitchen. We had a potential roomie coming to look at the place, which I was hoping for, since the current roomie we have I really don't like. To make a long story short, the potential roomie didn't even show up because she decided to stay with friends. Well at least the kitchen is spotless for the first time in a month. I studied in basement because the roomie I don't like was still there watching tv, and I have to study once again for another chapter test tomorrow. The stuff I need to know I can memorize, but for some reason, it's not sinking in. I dunno. I just need to vent online before getting back into it. Now that I see the end in sight, I just want to get there. And there's nothing really I can look forward too in these 17 days. Yeah, there are still summer movies I want to see, but not on the same level as KNOCKED UP, LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, SICKO and RATATOUILLE. Maybe SUPERBAD. But other than that, nothing. Every free moment will be dedicated to a class I have no interest in. But after the 20th, it's going to be so sweet. I can go home to help out with harvest (they're already doing peas and lentils at home. And one of my uncles employee's ended up rolling a fully loaded grain truck.), make some money, and lose some weight. My weeks on the farm are sort of a detox period for me. Matt will be home after 7 months in Afghanistan, but we won't be able to leave for Edmonton just yet. I'm hoping we can fit it in the first week of September, as opposed to the last week of August. My birthday is up in about a month, so I'm hoping I can be with my lady friend Rikky, who I haven't seen since June, and then go out for a night of drinking with my film buddies, who I haven't seen since April. I'm a bit nervous about that, though, since it occurred to me that it's on the Labor Day long weekend, and they might have plans already. And even the ones who are in the city might not come. Dave and Andrew were the ones who sent out the e-vites to the people in the class for when drink night was. I don't know if they'd come if it were me sending them out. Nothing sucks more than inviting people for a night out and no one coming. Any ideas? And then after that, I am in the home stretch in terns of academia. I only have one class per semester, and I already have an idea for what I want to do for my final film. I can shoot in the interviews in a month and spent the rest of the year editing. And I can look into seeing if my pipe dream can come true. Hopefully, I can get work as a trainee grip or electrician on a film set. So fucking close, and yet so goddamn far. 17 days.

HEE HEE HEE Thats him, not me. giggle snort *FMF does the happy dance* OK so we get to court and there is the AH. All alone. Wifey not with him, lawyer not there. I take this as significant. Anyhoo, when the lawyer shows up we find that the AH now has the "B" team. The lawyers SON is there. Giggle snort. We are second on the docket and when we are called the AH lawyerson tells the judge that he is asking for dismissal - the reason gentle people? Because the AH does not think I am entitled to the cost of living increases the Navy gives each year. He thinks that my wiping his ass, toting his loads and generally putting up with his shit is worth $495 a month and not a penny more. The judge, BLESS HER REPUBLICAN BUTT, disagreed. (Thats the nicest I get about Repbulicans, but kudos to her) :evil: Anyway. I get the wording corrected. I get my cost of living increases. I get my surviver annuity. and he gets? HE GOT SERVED IN THE COURT ROOM BY MY MOTHERS ATTORNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh help me lord jeasous, I have been giggling all morning! *FMF does the happy dance with all the gentle people" We need some liguor up in here! PARTAY!

So, it's probably not a shock to anyone that I'm on a bit of a hiatus - sorry about that. I just moved and have two roommates moving in with me this weekend and next. So aside from having no internet connection at the moment (ugh!), I'm also preparing for their arrival and trying to get everything squared away. Have no fear that "Unforeseen Consequences" is finished and it's 20 chapters. I'm hoping to post chapter 5 no later than next Monday, 8/6 and then keep posting pretty regular after that! I have posted a few BSG stories (Lee/Kara in nature) on FanFiction.net if anyone's interested - same screenname. But I will wrap-up "UC" by the end of the month and possibly post some other shorter stories as well. I have at least four multi-chapter stories stored on my hard drive and probably a handful of one-offs that are completed as well. Well, that's my update - I hope everyone's having a great summer!
