$1130 back from the IRS. I am the tax return goddess. 
WMU's tuition is going up AGAIN. I'm now paying more than most graduate students at other schools in Michigan, and I'm an undergrad.
But the president just bought 20 plasma TVs for the university center. They're off most of the time, but when they ARE on, they broadcast stupid facts about WMU.

I did my taxes tonight. Thanks to my mad skills with deductions and credits, I'm getting back $1130. I told my roommate, and she said, "Fuck this. YOU'RE doing my taxes this year."
I've edited this entry nine times. I give up.
Let's just say, I'm pissed, hurt, pissed, and more pissed.

I didn't get to sleep until 9:00 AM. 
I finally have my W2, so I get to do my taxes tonight!
I have a test in an hour or so. It's in my favourite class, Michigan History, so I'm not too worried.
SGKazoo is bowling at Harpo's tonight. Come on over!

I want to see you be an SG!!!!!!!!
legionnaire:
That's a nice little return on your taxes! I'm going to owe this year, my tutoring (whoops, haven't gotten that far in my chronology of crappy jobs yet) is done as an independent contractor, so no withholding. Hopefully not too much.
I'm going to Germany and Austria to ski for a week, then going to Rome to hang out for a week. But not until mid-March (and I'll probably be periodically on SG for the first week, anyway.)

Feh.

Are you still awake from the night before? My gosh! Go to BED!

it's 4 pm and i'm waiting for pti to come on.....
I'm still reading about graduate schools out east. I'll focus on the west next week.
My conclusion is that there's NO WAY I'll be able to afford out-of-state tuition, so I'll just have to move to the state, set up residency for a year, and then start school. This is fine with me since I'll need the break.
I'm also looking forward to setting the...

So your planning on leaving Michigan as well. Damn, this state is losing people like nobody's business. Hope wherever you end up that you come to love it.
So does that mean we started publicly funded schools here?
So does that mean we started publicly funded schools here?Wait... no... I guess I do have something.
After my hair dried today, I realized it's now halfway down my back. Yay.
I need to do something with it, though. I think I'm going to have the haircutterist put some darkish purple into it... just a few strands. I'm just not sure how that'll look with the texture. My hair is naturally curly/wavy, and that...

I have nothing to say today.
Carry on.

I have discovered three wonderful things: Infusium conditioner, St. Ives exfoliating body wash, and Crest Whitening Expressions in Extreme Mint. I now have silky soft hair and minty breath.
To counteract the girliness of that paragraph, I must inform everyone that I not only watched the Super Bowl, but also yelled at the TV and explained why the Patriots went for a two-point conversion when...

People in college tend to think "more words = more knowledge". Maybe...sometimes, but I'm thinking thats only true half the time. I've edited and helped with alot of papers and found that wordy papers tend to be diluted, and sometimes even miss the point of the subject entirely due to tangents. The short (and well-written) papers are where it's at. It shows the writer has enough knowledge of the subject as well as a great grasp of the language used to make the points and ideas as clear and concise as possible.
Take that last sentence I just typed, for example. There's extra wording in it that doesn't need to be there, and the sentence might be able to be better arranged to the effect of being shorter.

This is very interesting...
A non-SG friend suggested he and I set all of our mp3s on random and then enter the first 30 into email without cheating. He said it would give a pretty good idea of our eclectic tastes.
Here is mine:
1) Midnight Oil - Dreamworld
2) My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult - Sex on Wheelz
3) Frank Sinatra -...

As do you . Guess we don't have to worry about music selection if we're in a car together .

Sending angry email can be completely justified, and I think in your case it was.
You'll be okay. It's all right to crack every now and then.
