Update on my sick kitty.
She's staying at the vets office for a few days so he can observe what's going on with her. GR

I saw something completely and randomly offensive on my way home from work today.
I passed a church, which while I don't agree with their tactics aren't normally blatantly offensive, has now sunk to new lows. I happened to read their events calendar while passing.... and on one of the days in the next week is something called "Jews for Jesus". Now, I admit that I'm not really up on my Torah, but I thought that a major difference between the Jewish faith and the Christian one is that the Jews are still waiting for the messiah, and the Christians have picked one already. As such, "Jews for Jesus" would be Christians, and should no longer be called Jews..... ah, what do I know.

Why is it that everything has to go bad at one time?
There's a lot of stuff breaking down in the house, but what's bothing me the most is the health of my cat. I have four cats, and for the most part I kind of grew up believing that cats were indestructable. I have one thats still going strong at 21 years old. But one of my babies is really sick. She'll be 2 on Sunday and she can't eat or drink without throwing up. Her sister is fine, so its not contagious... but still. I took her to the vet yesterday, and he proscribed pudding textured cat food and antibiotics. Its not doing anything. She's still really sick and is getting worse. GRR!

One class down, one more to go. I found out today that I tried to drop my classes ten days too late. Therefore, it has to go through the professors whether or not I fail their classes. I wrote everyone I could, the professors and the associate vp of academic affairs (she can bypass the whole ordeal and back date my withdrawl papers so that it doesn't have to go through the professors. But to cover my butt, I wrote the professors too. One of them, the one whose class I really didn't want to drop, wrote back immediately saying he always drops students passing. Yea. Now that leaves the blowhard. The one whose class I Really hated going to and don't mind dropping. Hopefully he won't be an ass about losing someone to listen to him drone about his kids.

Today is a better and brighter day. Sort of.
Matt and I are doing much better, after a really horrible weekend. Not because we were angry with each other, but because we're both frustrated in our career choices at the moment. Yesterday was the worst for him, not so bad for me except that I was with him while he was being depressed.
Yesterday was also my mom's birthday. I got her an icecream cake from Baskin Robbins, made dinner, and got her a gold necklace. Which all made her cry. Not because I was evil, but I think because dad and I always got her jewlrey for birthdays, valentine's day, mothers day, and christmas. I was just continuing the tradition. Besides, she had been drooling over the type of necklace I got her for a while now (herringbone).... She was actually happy about what I did for her, but didn't know how to deal with that.

Now for career stuff: I'm dropping out of school, temporarily. I had two classes this semester that I haven't been to in three weeks. I knew I was going to drop one of them but now I've realized that I can't catch up with all of the stuff that I've missed with the concentration problems I'm having right now.

Maybe I'll be in school forever, I don't know. But I guess it doesn't matter. I'll finish eventually... and if I don't I'll be a professional student.
