So the past couple of weeks I've been really stressed out b/c of my money situation to the point that I went to the ATM today and started crying.
But it was good crying.
See, on the OLE for school it says how much financial aid you receive once it goes through. I owe my mom like nearly $700 for school supplies and bills and such. The OLE said I only had $560, so it's little wonder that I was stressed.
Today I checked my balance on my Higher One account (into which my financial aid is initially deposited) and I had $2675. HOLY. SHIT. I started crying just from how much stress that relieved.
So I'm feeling particularly fantastic today and it's going to take some serious epic fail to ruin my mood~~
AHAHAHAHAHAHA~ 8D

So I've been sick. Mostly cleared up, but my ears seem to be getting worse. It's really weirding me out and if it isn't cleared up by Friday, I'm going to ask if I can go see a doctor.
In other news, I'm gonna go see Alice in Wonderland with my Grandma Dianne tomorrow. :D I'm looking forward to it. And yes, I would prefer to go with my grandma 'cause she's pretty damned cool about movies and not as annoying as some friends or my brother who talk through the whole damned thing. Seriously, if you're at a movie theater, shut the fuck up and watch the goddamned movie. And if we're in the movie theater, then NO I haven't seen it before and I can't TELL you what's going on if I don't know yet either, Jacob. Stupid brother.
In other words, my grandma is actually preferable company and not just because she pays for everything. (That's just a bonus.)
...Mmkay off to go clean the bathroom, then run to school... and decide if I wanna go to class or not today. I mean, I want to, but my ears are so fucked up right now I can barely hear half the shit. And it literally feels like they're plugged or like there are hands over my ears, so I know it's not something that can't be fixed.

Ack, I got sick so that's where I've been the past few days. x__x;
Day 1: Severe ear pain and headaches. I seriously thought my ears were going to explode.
Day 2: Coughing, mucus in throat (but not in nose?), sore throat, fever, and some vomiting. Ears ringing. Not fun.
Day 3 (today): Ears ringing, some mucus and a sore throat. Much better, but still wasn't allowed to go to class b/c of the rules against being in the kitchen if you're sick. Which makes me sad, as I REALLY wanted to go too. ;; Chocolate classssss. -grabby hands-
Anyway, other than that my grandpa's being an asshole again. He just ranted to my grandmother about me being irresponsible because I didn't tie up the dog when the lawnmower guys got here. (Usually, my grandmother does it willingly, has never asked for help, and to top it all off-- I didn't know the lawnmower guys were here until they'd already started mowing, AFTER Toby had been tied up by someone else.) What gets me is that I'm the only one he complained about. Like I don't have two brothers who were here too, and not sick as hell. God he's such an asshole. And I can say that because he does pick on people, particularly me because I'm the only one who doesn't get into trouble or arguments with any of the adults in my family and he thinks I'm being lazy because I don't have another job. (I've been trying. I lost my job at the convenience store in December b/c it shut down, and I've been trying ever since. I must've applied to over 100 fucking places and it's really damned hard to get a job when you only have experience in one place and your schedule is limited because you have classes at college.)
So yeah. That's how it's been.
Obligatory plug: ![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/community.gif) all_icontest. Join it. NAO.

MMKAY SO TODAY. I didn't go to sewing again. Uhg. I really should, but it's not as fun as I thought it'd be. It'd be one thing if it was a class that actually needed 3 hours worth of classtime for. But half of our tasks are like sew in a straight line, then do the same thing on stitch number 2. It's so easy to the point that I don't feel like I'm actually learning anything.
...Also I'm supposed to have elastic today so I couldn't go anyway b/c I didn't have the money to purchase elastic for pants.
I have a feeling I'm going to end up dropping that class since it has nothing to do with my major anyway. -_-; I mean, the teacher's really great, it's just that the course for "beginning" sewing is basically "how-to-use the machine." Which I can figure out on my own by pressing buttons. But you can't get to the second level without the first level, and I was hoping that it'd be useful enough that I'd be able to learn something useful by the end of the class. I really don't think that's going to happen based on the syllabus, so after I get my glasses I'm probably /so/ going to drop that class. Concentrating on my culinary things is more important anyway.
In other news, my mom wanted me to apply to McDonald's today (and she woke me up to tell me to go RIGHT THAT SECOND). I did, along with my brother (she wants us to work at the same place so she doesn't have to drive more than one place), and I'm honestly hoping I don't get a job there. I want a new job, don't get me wrong. I just do not want it at McDonald's. I'm way too much of a neatfreak for that and being in a ServSafe-approved Food Sanitation and Hotel/Restaurant Management class, I have a feeling that McDonald's would drive me up the fucking wall, especially since I've seen the way that McDonald's managers treat their employees, so I have a feeling I'd end up getting fired for cleaning shit just so that the place could adhere to food sanitation standards set out by the National Restaurant Association, instead of doing some inane task that they assign me to that doesn't really need to be done. :|
Yeah, there's a reason I don't eat at fast food restaurants except for the McDonald's on Bellflower (you can see that it's clean there, they recently remodeled, and it's a generally pleasant place with friendly people (except this one old bitch lady who obviously hates the world for some reason. But she's only there on Wednesdays.) The McDonald's that's hiring is the one on Woodruff... which I don't like, and never have liked, but that's mostly because of the creepy-ass statue out front of some fat midget with a pedobear grin, holding out a kids meal. Creeped me out when I was young, still does today. That's why I never go to the McDonald's on Woodruff (but it looks a lot more dreary than the one I do go to and no one seems to be happy)... luckily, I don't think I'll be able to get the job there anyway b/c the hours they're hiring for don't exactly fit my schedule. I think this is the only time I'll say "luckily" when I'm not getting a job.
Whatever though. Mmkay and I'll pimp it out again: all_icontest!! Join it! It gives free reign to icon artists over their subjects while providing a varying array of themes that aren't just limited to song and word themes! Kay that's all I've got today, as I feel like I'm braindead or got hit by a truck in my sleep.

I managed to get a day ahead on making my cake for Cake Decor and Sugar Cookery. The cake has been baked, filled with coffee-flavored icing, stacked, imperfections repaired, crumb-coated, I made new/fresh icing, and iced the cake. So it just has to wait until I can decorate it. I'll be working on more icing roses until Tuesday when I have to decorate it in class. I'll make sure to take pictures, but until then...
( A picture of icing roses I made! )
Those are the 9 roses that I've decided I like enough to use. :3 I still have a few that i need to make... but I decided to do varying simplicities and colors so that it looks more realistic on the cake. :D Hopefully I'll get a good grade for it.
...I'm wondering though, since a large portion of our grade is based upon improvement, if I should stop trying to get better at each thing before it's due. >__>; I've been practicing by making tons of these with the intent of getting better, but now I'm thinking it might not have been such a good idea since our teacher is kind of old fashioned. She might not... really... understand that some people spend a lot of time practicing so they can improve over the course of a week. And believe me, those are improvements from my first ones. Which she didn't see because she was busy talking to her friends from the retirement home that had come to hang with her during class. -facepalm-
...I hope I didn't just fuck my grade over by being a good student.

So. My brother's engaged now. His fiance's name is Joan (pronounced Jo-ann, not Joan as in Joan of Arc), and she's still in high school. He's 18. But, they did make the promise that they're not going to actually get married for years down the road until they're absolutely 100% certain that they can handle it. I think it's kind of sweet, and I was worried at first when I heard he was engaged-- I thought they meant like, marriage within the next year or so... But I'm glad they're just promising themselves to each other. :3
Besides that, I've been making icing roses ALL day. I've managed to come up with about 5-6 good ones and one I'm still iffy about. I'm aiming for 12 as a present for my friend Karma (she has a scribbld account but she never uses it, otherwise I'd link ya). They're pretty neat so far though. :D Waiting for those 7 to dry, then I'll probably do a few more tomorrow. I figure if I practice them every day and get better and better then by the time that I have class next I'll be able to do them properly for the cake we're decorating next time.
Speaking of the cake, I think I'm going to do a Silver-White cake with coffee-flavored icing/filling. I was thinking about doing a Spice cake, but I ended up deciding on that. I do need to go to the store to get some coffee flavoring, so I'm thinking of heading to Bristol Farms around Friday before I start the cake. I'll make the cakes on Friday morning, then piece it together, put the filling in, and put the crumb coat on on Friday night. Saturday after class I'll probably go about doing the actual frosting, then handle any imperfections on Sunday. It can sit and be pretty on Monday, then on Tuesday I'll bring it to class for decorating. :D

Okay so I totally didn't get the money that I was supposed to by the week that they SAID I was supposed to.
I'm gonna go through a bitchfit in the office because I've already waited MORE than a month for them to deliver it to me and I need this stupid money. Just because they're being too lazy to get shit done on time doesn't mean I should have to suffer for it. >\ ARHG.
EDIT My brother's uber-sick and throwing up and stuff (and for some reason eating french fries and now Doritos, wtf), so I'm ODing on vitamins, sanitizer, and hand-washing. YAY. ;D

Okay so since I'm planning on being active on this thing, there's something I need to know! Who on here is actually active? 'Cause I want to clean up my friends list so that I have the active people, but I just want to make sure. I know a few of you for sure. So this is... kind of a friends cleaning. It's not really a friends cut 'cause I'm not unadding people 'cause I felt that it was getting cluttered or I don't like people or whatever, I just want to know who is still here.
SO!
Comment within the next 1-2 weeks if you're still active and still wanna be my friend. :D
