Dumbbb

I'm a huge moron. For at least the past month or so, I've been convinced that I scheduled the next section of the CPA exam for this Friday, June 9th.

Nope. I did it for the 10th.

Meaning a few things:
1) I unnecessarily called off work on Friday.
2) My trip to Pittsburgh obviously cannot begin until Saturday afternoon, now. Meaning I will have less than 24 hours in Pittsburgh :(
3) I'm dumb
4) This is probably a bad omen to how the exam is going to go.
Sigh.

I CANNOT WAIT to be finished with this stupid section. Donny's roommate just took it and he didn't really sound very encouraging haha. Yikesss. If I can pass this one, I should be good to go, because apparently the one I saved for last is the easiest. Fingers crossed!
In other news, Pittsburgh will be MUCH NEEDED, even if it's only for a day. My paycheck that I'll get on Friday will ALSO be much needed!

As soon as I get back on Sunday, I'm going to start packing up my apartment. I don't care if it's a month and a half early. I am SO READY to be done with this apartment. The combination of sex boy and his roomie, the shady management, the people across the hall with the noisy bird and noisy dog, the people who honk their horns at 7 AM repeatedly until the person they're picking up comes out, the garbage trucks who let the giant dumpsters fall to the ground at 6:30 AM, the large amounts of dog poop people leave everywhere, and the crazy Indians who walk their children in strollers at 10 PM in the dark while wearing dark clothes so that you almost hit them with your car... have basically made me lose my patience.

If you're friends with me on facebook, you've likely already seen these pictures, but I'm posting some again just because I love them. Background: while at my grandparents' for the Fourth of July, I stole (slash borrowed) a container of pictures my grandma had. She like... could care less about pictures. She maybe took like 10 rolls of film the entire time my mom and uncle were growing up haha. And they're all just thrown in boxes now. There's ONE album she put together of pictures of them when they were little... the rest are still in the envelopes from the developer. Ohhh grandma. Anyway, here are some good ones...

This is my grandma, grandpa, and my mom on a road trip. My mom looks exactly like my sister Melaney here. Which is weird, because in other pictures she looks exactly like me or my other sister Lindsey. At least none of us were adopted?

I highly enjoy this picture. There are five generations here!! On the left is my great-great grandma Kreager, my great-great-great grandma Courson (she lived to be 101, crazy woman), my great-grandma (who died when I was in middle school) Williams/Dotson/Giles (yeah, she had three husbands) .. and my uncle Steve is in her lap. Then in the back is my grandpa, and he's holding my mom. So yeah, five generations. Awesome!
I just think that's crazy because the oldest person I've ever met from my family was my great-grandma... can you even imagine meeting your three-times great grandma? False. That's insane.

I wish I sometimes had something more interesting to say. C'est la vie.

Update:
It's about two hours after I made that original post. Guess what has happened to me since then?

THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

UGHHHHH. TWO DAYS before the CPA exam and I get the blue screen of death?!!?

Let's also recall that my computer CRASHED the DAY OF my CPA exam in April. THE SAME DAY. I had to go out and buy a new computer... aka this one. Clearly this is some sort of fate... I am obviously not destined to become a CPA. I mean... serious computer problems before taking two of the three sections? And I need my computer to study... it's not like I can just read the book. There are thousands of homework problems on the software that are really the best way to prepare for the exam. So yeah, apparently I'm not cut out to be a CPA... so glad I spent the last five years of my life and over $50,000 to be one. Not to mention countless hours of studying. FML.

Anywho, Ryan from HP (who secretly sounds like he's from the Ukraine or something) helped me and two hours later, my computer is currently running. Knock on wood. He also told me he can't guarantee he fixed it, which is just fabulous. Ohhhh HP and how I hate you and your computers. Cannot wait for my CPA bonus so I can buy a Mac.

  2. I HATE MY HP!!!!

    In college I had that thinkpad (I think you did too) and it lasted me 3+ years with no problems. Then, summer before senior year I got this HP, and in LESS THAN TWO YEARS I had to 1) Send it to California for them to fix the cd/dvd drive, 2) reload everything once they wiped it in California, 3) wipe it AGAIN because they messed up reloading it when it was in California, 4) Reload everything AGAIN, 5) Buy a new charger cable, and 6) now I need a new battery because mine lasts 2 minutes and my screen also flickers on and off for periods of time... like seriously?

    I HATE IT. I will never by an HP again.
