Humming and Hawing

I was actually feeling a bit depressed before I logged on and saw all the funny comments everyone's been leaving, on my site and others (Chuk's', Cindy's, Jeff's, Sali's, etc.--the main homies). Y'all are beautiful. I had to laugh the most on Chuks's blog--sweets, you are soooo happy and adorable all the time I can't help but feel cheered up when I hear from you! :-D
But, sadly I am still irritated by some things. Firstly, I got a C in one of my Latin lessons, which was a necessary casualty since I have to rush through these so fast. I knew I'd get the C, but I guess you're never really prepared for something like that. There are 20 lessons and together they just count for 40% of my grade--so that C won't damage the other As in the slightest...but still...it was a C and it glares at me every time I see it. Ugh. Then there's the fact that although my boss knows my car can't be moving around too much, she keeps adding on faraway places I have to take her. Like tomorrow. She just added me on for Wednesdays, and that's the day she has an appointment in Watkinsville every week. It's at least 12 miles from her house; and her house is at least 7 miles from mine. This means that just on Wed.s alone I'll be trekking at least 38 miles. Other days I've been averaging 25 miles or so. Like it or not, my car just won't be able to cut it at that pace. So, something must be done. I'll either have to cut back on days I work, or get a new car. Since the latter option certainly isn't a possibility, I guess we all know what this means. Now, CJ gave me a tip on a better paying job at the University that I could start in Feb., but it wouldn't be year-round. I'm thinking I'm going to go ahead and get a more "career" job and just cut this one back to an "extra cash" position. But telling my boss will be awful. She's been trying to add hours, not cut them. If only she didn't have to GO so many places! :(
I've got to give a big hello again to O. who again let me rant and rave to him about all my woes and issues. If it weren't for him, I'd probably be a certified looney by now. :)
And...I can't not mention the awesome pro-life protest I attended last night. It seems Planned Parenthood was getting some people together to picket in favor of abortion; so it leaked out and we got there with more people and more signs then they had! Even their loud pep-rally cheers didn't drown out the Rosary we were reciting. They looked like the counter-rally, not us! I thought of Lauren the whole time and knew she'd be proud. My FIRST pro-life protest ever. Usually I'm out there against the executions.
Speaking of, Alabama did murder John Peoples, a buddy of a prisoner I know. According to the guy I know, John was a quiet and considerate man who showed others in prison respect. I hope he's on his way to heaven.
