$85 and a Mom Van.

So, since Callaway is the most pleasant place on Earth, they're kicking us out less than 24 hours after finals finish.  Damn Callawayans.  So, I have to take 4 exams, pack up everything in my apartment, and then load it all into the mom van.  Yup, I'm rockin' the mom van this week.  Since my loving parents have decided that I can pack up my stuff, carry all 3 billion pounds of it up and down Callaway's lovely halls, and then truck it home...  By myself...  Rude, right?  Right.

On a lighter note, today, Katie was doing her laundry, and as she came back into the room, she mumbled the word "books."  So, I'm thinking to myself, "What the hell?  Is Katie on dope?" (which is a That 70's Show reference for all you obsessive weirdos like us).  But as it turns out, there was this stranger trolling the lovely halls of Callaway (as previously mentioned) who was scanning books and...  Giving.  People.  Money.  I didn't even have to leave my room!  Fabulous, eh?  Anyways, so as the troll is adding up all the money that I'm getting for my unwanted books, Katie decides that since she has more books than I do, she's going to get more money than me.  Poor Katie- she had no idea what she was getting herself into...

Final Score...  Katie: $8.  Shelby: $85.

And might I just say, winning feels good.  I finally understand what Charlie Sheen is always blabbing about.  Yeah, it feels good to sit on my couch and make $85.  Ahh, life.

Tony went back to Sugar Land this evening, so once again, I'm spending the night in the same general location as Katie.  (Guess you can't win 'em all...)  However, he went back for a solid reason- and he's bringing home my PoliSci book, which was recently located in the trunk of my car that is also in Sugar Land.  Yay for boyfriends!  Now I'll have a chance of passing my PoliSci final on Wednesday evening.  Great news.

Also, since my mother is leaving for England on Saturday, she's taking me to get my nails done on Friday morning.  Getting manicures is my guilty pleasure.  I love it.  Especially since my nails are so freaking tiny.  Having long nails (even if they're fake and only last a couple of weeks) makes me happy.(:  AND, on Sunday night, Tony's family is taking me out to dinner.  Once again, WINNING!

To end my little ranty blog for tonight, I'll let you know that Katie and I are about to watch Mean Girls.  I'm elated about this.  I've wanted to watch it for over 24 hours, and Katie has finally given in!  Also, my quote for the blog will come from the fabulous movie:

"'Taylor Zimmerman- two for you.  Glenn Coco?  FOUR for you, Glenn Coco!  You go, Glenn Coco!  And uh... Caddy Heron.  Do we have a Caddy Heron here?'  'It's Cady.'  'Oh, Cady.  Here you go, one for you...  And none for Gretchen Weiners- Bye!'"  -Damian and Cady.

Oh life, you are so good.(:

Back to Business.

I apologize for the abruptness of my last post.  But, for those of you who are interested, I am now safely back at my apartment in College Station.  However, Tony and I were welcomed home by some fleas.  Lovely.  So, he's taking care of business over there, while I am itching myself nonstop at my own apartment as Katie does her INFO notes for Exam Week. 

Speaking of Exams Week- it makes me want to shoot someone.  (Figuratively speaking of course- I'm not actually a violent person... unless your name is Psycho Brooke.).  I have 4 major exams in the next couple of days.  Sounds miserable, right?  That's 'cause it is.  Bleh.  I am extremely anti-finals at this point in life.

I know, I know, you're thinking, "What else is new in your fabulous life, Shelby?"  In response to your thoughts, today was Mother's Day, as I pointed out in my blog from earlier today...  I got my mom a gnome.  It's the best gnome ever, though. 'Cause it's kinda like what my mom would look like if she were a gnome, which I think is pretty freaking fabulous.  Also, I was the ONLY ONE in my family who got her a present...  So now you're thinking, "Wow- Shelby is a great daughter," or, "Dang!  You must've gotten a lot of brownie points for that one!"  Well, both of your thoughts (which I, personally, agree with) do not follow in line with what actually happened.  There was no praise, and no brownie points were awarded.  Damn...

On a lighter note, I found a $15 iTunes gift card in my bedroom back home whilst I was cleaning it out this weekend.  I'm pretty sure it hasn't been used, either!  Happy Final's Week to me!  Now I just have to decide what I want to get with it :/.  

BIGGEST PET PEEVE:  When people eat/chew/smack with their mouths open.  I absolutely cannot stand it. It honestly makes me want to slap the person that's doing it...  Hard.  I just don't get why it's so hard for people to close their mouths.  And I get it when you're eating chips, and you just can't help the loud crunching sound, but if you're smacking for like, bread or something, STOP IT.

I guess now would be a good time to throw in my quote-of-the-blog...

"Use soft words and hard arguments."  -English Proverb.

And since technically I posted a blog already today without a quote, I feel as though I should add another to this one to make up for it.  So, here it is:

"If you fill your heart with the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for."  -Unknown.

I felt like the last one was pretty appropriate for my situation this week with finals, moving out, my parents leaving, blah, blah, blahbitty-blah.  I guess it's just something for me to think about during my busy life haha.

Stay beautiful bloggers!
-Shelby.
