So I have been awake now for 25 1/2 hours. Last night it was paint the floors night. But unfortunately we couldn't just paint the floors. First we had fill in all the cracks. Allow three hours to dry. In the mean time we got Taco Bell and had a lively best/worst categories of movies game. Then when the sealant dried we had to use the degreaser diluted with water mop the whole floor with it, scrub the whole floor, then mop with clean water. Allow 30 mins to dry. Then came the etcher (for those you who don't know and I didn't etcher does to concrete what sandpaper does to wood) much dismay when after the process began the realization that we had to dilute it was made. So scrub the whole floor with the diluted etcher then hose off and suck up all the water with a shop vac ( the last part was our idea it wasn't on the directions, though previous incidents have proven that we were not so good at read the instructions). Wait to dry. I hour and 12 rounds of Call of Duty 4 came time to paint. 3 people painting with rollers one "resting". Took about an hour. 500 sq ft 8 hours of labor. Free food. Started at 7 pm finished at 4:30 am. Paint takes 2 hours to dry. Everyone was back at the store by 7 am for the second coat. Wait 2 hours to dry. Had breakfast played with puppies. Back to store for cleaning and putting everything back in place and somethings in different places. Store was supposed to open at 11am we opened at 1pm. I am scheduled to open anyway I get off at 4 then I'm going to help Heather finish up the rest of the wedding stuff (which is on Sunday Yeah!) Oh did I mention that I worked on Sunday 12pm to 7pm after only 4 hours of sleep. I have had a lot of caffeine. After a brief half hour nap on the cold floor waiting for people to arrive I have my second wind. I am hoping to use this to my advantage and get on a semi normal sleep schedule.
Okay that was long and really boring. Hope everyone is having fun.

Ugh....class
So, four tests down one to go. That was just this week, that is just from Tues. If we didn't have Friday off I just might go insane. Although I do have to write a 10 page paper this weekend and I haven't finished the first book I have to read for it (there is two). Luckily I've already written the 3 page paper due on Mon (Yeah for me) but that was my Psy 321 paper so it was fairly interesting (it was on how personality effects having children) but my employee relations paper is comparing and contrasting two books on diversity in curriculum. Its book report I'm just not sure how I'm gonna stretch it to 10 pages. Time for Buff's BS lessons to come in handy. Well I'm off to study for the last test of the week. Big Props to Sydney for the rum and gun. It was plastic and made noise, I was messing with Adah all night. Fun.

FRIDAY, Feb. 27 (HealthDay News) -- You might look like you're not paying attention when you doodle, but science says otherwise.
Researchers in the United Kingdom found that test subjects who doodled while listening to a recorded message had a 29 percent better recall of the message's details than those who didn't doodle. The findings were published in Applied Cognitive Psychology.
"If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream," study researcher Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth, said in a news release issued by the journal's publisher. "Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be sufficient to stop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task."

Yep.
So today has be an unusual day. It actually started last night, when I got back from Tupelo I couldn't find my phone. Searched my car, searched my book bag, searched the apartment, no phone. Got up early to go to the ATnT store before work. They couldn't do anything besides give me a phone number. Luckily it was insured so it will only cost me $50 which I think is better than $300, but it won't be here until next week. So I'm without a phone (again). I still don't understand why I couldn't just get a phone at the store, it's the same company. Grrrrrrr.... Then I had to drive to Tupelo (which I have to do everyday for WinterIntersession) to take a test. It took me 10 mins. Then I had to drive back.
I knew I should have taken up that pirating opportunity. I like the the ocean, as long as I"m not in it (open water freaks me out to swim in). The only probably would be th absence of the internet. Unless we took over a cruise liner, then I could run the cruise liner and be able to say things like "Hello. My name is Erin, and I'll be your cruise director.....NOW SWAB THE DECK YOU BARNACLES!!!" and sing the them from the Love Boat.
So who's up for overtaking a Cruise Liner, preferably a Disney one.

P.S. Marybess, Libby goes by
I have 49 raffle tickets that I have to sell. I completely forgot about them when I went down and time is running out. They are for gas cards, but mostly it will be helping me out so I don't look like a totally idiot to my professor. Please buy some. Send me a message or txt to let me know if you can help me. You don't have to send the money immediately, but I'll give you my address.
Please please please please please please please.
Thank you.
EDIT
Tickets are $1 each
Also funny for those with a passing knowledge of Doctor Who
www.youtube.com/watch
Also the spoof with David Tennant in drag
www.youtube.com/watch
Only really Jordan and Libby will like this one
www.youtube.com/watch
And now for something completely different.
I started watching Doctor Who. I hate you Jo (and Melissa by proxy). I really liked Christopher Eccleston, but I am in love with David Tennant. I just finished The Runaway Bride and am now starting season 3. I miss Rose.
PS: I seem to remember this meme from the first time it went around, and some of the represented series have had additions in the meantime. So I've added a few. Which means there are no longer 238 films on the list, and I have no idea how many there are. But I've seen most of them.
