issues

It's currently 5:35 a.m. and for some odd reason I thought it would be an appropriate time to write a blog. Just throwing that out there so people can see how dedicated I am to this. I know I totally slack off on the blog posts but its kinda like an eclipse, It happens once in a blue moon but when it does its always...special haha. Anyway I thought I would share a couple stories about the issues with life I seem to be experiencing on a daily basis and I dont know if its from lack of sleep as I do get up at 4:30 every morning to go to the gym, school is brain washing me, or I really am half simple. I mentioned that I got up at 4:30 every morning except for saturday,sunday to go to the gym. I know I'm crazy but its the only time that I can really do it because of school and my social life. Besides I dont mind getting up early, I get alot more accomplished and I feel great all day. I go with one of my friends and we actually have a pretty fun time and I often find myself kinda getting excited to go to the gym. Here is a couple photos from our gym time haha
there you go,  proof. it does happen.

ok issue story #1:
Because I go to the gym, I have a new sleep schedule. Now that I get up at 4:30 it is death to go to bed at midnight or later. I am basically a zombie, a waste of human material by like 9pm This story which Im about to tell you is a clear example of that. So there was this one day where I was hanging over at Corey's and it was around 11:00pm and I was completely exhausted and so I begged him to take me home. When I finally got there I got ready for bed and what not and I was looking for my phone to charge because It was like completely dead and I needed it so I could set the alarm for 4:30. So Im looking all over for it and I couldnt find it anywhere. So after a couple min I stopped and decided that I would have to call it and find it that way. YES I thought I would call my phone to find my phone. So I began looking for my phone so I call my cell phone to find it. Then after a couple min I was like "wait a sec, its dead so even if I did call it I wouldnt be able to hear it ring because its dead." I couldnt go to bed without my phone because as I said its my alarm clock and I needed it to wake up in the mornings so I could  go to the gym or school. I just thought of poor little Porsha sitting there in the cold dark night waiting for me to meet her to go to the gym and I was peacefully sleeping in my bed. (hich happened today, vise versa PORSHA haha) I had to let her know that I wasnt going to be able to go tomorrow and work on our fitness because I wouldnt be able to get up without my phone. So I thought "no worries I'll just text her and tell her I wont be able to make it."  Again I started looking for my phone. Then I remembered that I had left my phone at Corey's. This was good news because I could just call him to tell him to bring me my phone! Thus I started looking for it one last time. Once I realized after the third time of looking for my phone which was dead and not even on the same side of town I was on, I came to the conclusion that I would have to drive over there and retrieve it before I go to bed. But there was another problem, I was down to scary low level of gas and I wasnt sure if I would even make it to Corey's house without running out. But because I am such a genious I decided that If I did run out of gas I could just call someone to come get me. YES I thought I would just call someone to get me with my dead phone that wasnt even in my possession, the phone I was out to go get in the first place.How I made it this far in life is beyone me. Thank goodness I didnt run out of gas and I eventually got my phone and was able to get in my bed without anymore unnecessary searching.
random issue story #2:
About a month ago I had my truck broken into (nothing was stolen just a damaged lock on the driver side door). Now I take precaution of locking everything up whenever I go anywhere even when I am home alone. I  took this locking everything up  to the next level and lock my own bedroom door. So there was this one day where I was getting ready to go to the bank because I needed to pay for my school fees and somehow I managed to lock myself out of my bedroom. My keys and school things, EVERYTHINNNNG was locked away in my room. I dont know how I accomplished this since you have to lock it from the inside without a key but thats not important, wgat is important is it just happened. Since I didnt care because I was in a hurry I thought I would just deal with this shinaniganns when I returned home. After bawling in the bank parking lot because I was reminded about how poor I was I finally returned home just to find out I was basically homeless too because I had locked myself out of my house as well. Good thing I had my phone with me so I could call my landlords to help me out. After what seemed like ten years of my life, I finally got a hold of them but Unfortunaltely they werent able to let me back in the house because they were too busy, so I had to sit around and wait for them for a couple more hours. I decided I would sit in my truck since I was freezing and it was my only shelter for the time being. I was getting really hungry like I do in most situations and I only live like across the street from dairy queen. So for feeling better purposes only, I texted up porsha inviting her to come with me to dairy queen to indulge in a blizzard while I waited for the access back into my house. In all my excitement because I was going to DQ I jumped out of the truck and skipped over there in a daze dreaming of my cookie dough ice cream goodness. When I got home I went to get in my truck but I couldnt find my spare truck key that I had been using because my first set of keys were locked inside my house and my bedroom door. I thought maybe I had left them at DQ but I should check in my truck before I quickly ran over there to find my keys. Sure enough, my key attatched to a red peice of string was dangling from the steering wheel locked inside.OH MY WORD! Thankfully my landlords showed up not long after that because I was ready to rip all my hair out.
My Issues with school:
school is actually fine. Its hard to get into the swing of things like studying and homework after a summer break but its alright. However, I have this one class that I just dont have the foggiest idea of what is going on. Whe have had 3 classes and its mostly all dialogue instead of a lecture. My prof is pretty intense though and she asks a billion questions that cant be answered . Well she answers them with another question and basically after 3 hours of this your head is in for a powerful head ache from all the confusion from this class and stress because I still have no idea what to write my paper on. We have this thing called a syllabis which is handed out at the beginning of the semester and it tells you a bunch of info about the class, what your supposed to get out of the class, assignments etc. This is what the syllabis said under "assignments" for this paper I'm talking about... "Write a paper on the issue that is constructed by the processes and structures of colonization. The intention of the discussion will be to generate new perspectives and responses to the identified issue. New perspective on the issues of be founded upon, Indigenous ways of knowing, the epistemology and onotlogical responsibilities of the indigenous peoples and integrate this perspective with a social work generalist practice approach, which will make significant contributions to the amelioration of colonial constructed social issues." oh ok.....sjfhgsdkghkdjgdkjcvbskjdbf WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? I was unaware I was taking a french class. Seriously I got so confused during class and had no Idea what she was talking about along with 99% of the class and basically gave up. Infact, during that time I was texting my boyfriend telling him we should elope to the wilderness and start up our own omish community, become the new wilderness family. I was actually making a pros and cons list of this idea but class ended half way through the list and I wasted no time lingering after class and got the heck out of there. Good thing I have 3 weeks before this paper is due because Its gonna at least take me that time to find out what the paragraph above is saying to me.

Anyway these are my issues that I am having. I dont blame the gym, I blame this one class where I use up all my brain power to understand what is going on for at least 5min of the class and then I have none left for the rest of the day and I end up doing stupid things like looking for my phone to text someone to tell them i dont have my phone 3 times, or locking myself out of everything I own. I mean most of these are regular occurances but it doesnt help the situation when you have a class like this that hogs all the brain power I'm supposed to be using for common sense! Just thought I would share a couple thoughts and stories on this lovely friday morn before I got ready for the day. I hope they are of great entertainment to ya'lls and they serve some sort of purpose besides reminding me of how handi I am. enjoy!
