I am currently at my mom's house attempting to help her with her Psychology 195 mid-term exam. It is really hard on the both of us because my mom hasn't written a paper in more than thirty years and then I have to explain to her how to write the project. And even though this entire thing is only worth 15 points my mom has to do a lot. She has to dar a diagram, explain all its points, and write a Case Study using said diagram. It is all very tiring.
Then I have my own school issues to worry about. I have a MUS 173 test this Tuesday, a project due Wednesday, I am falling a little behind on my Psychology notes, I missed two assignments in Bus 210 (damnit), and my tuition is due this Friday!! And I thought this semester would be a little easier on me with only five classes. Ha! It is okay though. I am not drowning or anything but it is getting stressful. School is not the only thing I am worried about right now but for privacy issues I will not air them here.

In Other News
It is snowing again! Why is it snowing again?! (I mean this in the rhetorical sense of course.) But come on! I am thisclose to losing it. I mean I think snow is beautiful and everything and it is amazing how every snowflake EVER is unique. That is pretty cool. That still does not change the fact that I am getting sick of this snow! Enough is enough already, just make it stop! I don't want to have to drive through blizzard conditions YET AGAIN because Mother Nature is uppity over global warming...
I need to stop ranting now.
Anyhoodle in a related note I read an article on Yahoo! that says 49 states are covered in snow. Isn't that amazing? The only state not covered in snow? Hawaii, naturally. Their volcanoes currently have no snow on them right now so yippee freaking skippee for them.
And how come the southern states, like Florida, shut down schools and stores for a mere inch of now? Like I heard it only snowed for 10 minutes down there BUT APPARENTLY those conditions are enough to shut down entire towns. WOW.
You think you got it bad? Try living up here in Wisconsin. Or better yet why not head to Minnesota. We are the ones who still manage to drive to school, go to work, and still FUNCTION through blizzard conditions.
Conclusion? Snow is lame, as is Florida for shutting down their schools. I mean I think its great that they could enjoy the snow (for all of 5 minutes before it melted away) but COME ON. Deal with it!

Let's talk about sex baby, lets talk about you and me.
zomg I just got back from the best workshop UW-Waukesha ever had! It was all about the Anatomy of Pleasure -- in both men and women.
Sex education usually just goes over the reproductive issues and attempts to scare us into not having sex by showing when penis goes here, ejaculates there, 9 months later "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS COMING OUT OF THAT WOMAN'S VAGINA?!"
But when it comes to the actual feelings and experiences of pleasure... well they tend to skip over that. Because sex is supposed to be for making babies, not personal enjoyment!
BULLSHIT!!!
This workshop was simply kick ass. The woman running it owns her own feminist sex shop in Milwaukee called the "TOOL SHED" It is a sex shop where you can come in and then leave feeling clean and happy (according to a customer who opened up the discussion, an actual teacher at UW-W!). And that is a rarity to be enjoyed, yes?
The workshop leader -- Laura Ann -- taught the entire audience (students and professors alike) about all the various body parts within the human body. Like did you know woman can ejaculate out of their G-spot? And the reason it is called the G-spot is because when its hit just right you cry out God's name? (My own joke, thank you very much.)
Here are some of the body parts, as well as interesting facts, I learned in the workshop:
- only 25% of women get an orgamsn through vaginal penetration alone
- sex is not limited to vaginal penetration
- when you are about the ejaculate out of your G-spot, it will feel like you are about to pee. Men get the same feeling before they ejaculate but you don't see them running to the bathroom! So, ladies, before you play around with that spot, go to the bathroom first so you know you are not going to stain anything. And go ahead and lay some towels down or go ahead and practice in the bathtub. It is a good idea to be aroused, or even have an orgasm, before playing with yourself otherwise it could get painful.
- Speaking of which, if something starts to hurt during sex - STOP. It means you are doing it wrong, or maybe you just can't get off with a certain sex act. Thats fine. Do something else that gets your rocks off!
- the clitoris has over 10,000 nerve endings. HELLS YEAH.
- use flavored condoms for oral sex. you can still get STDs from unprotected sex, so suck off a orange while you suck off your boyfriend. wow that was dirty, especially for me!
- Ever hear of the PC muscle? Both guys and ladies have it. It is a muscle that extends from your pubic bone to the tailbone. It wraps around the anus and the vagina, supporting your pelvic muscles. When you orgasm, this muscle contracts again and again and again -- this is the pleasure you are feeling when you peak and finally climax. So these muscles are pretty freaking important, yes? haha.
If you want more information, go to this excellent website I came across: http://www.scarleteen.com/ You have a question? They have the answer. Enjoy yourselves!!

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
Okay, lets attempt this again. I tried to make a blog post about my classes that took me about an hour to type up but I guess this blog couldn't handle the massive size or something? Idk. But here I am, attempting to try again. I will make it shorter this time by just focusing on my classes that occur M, W, and F. Here we go.
Monday classes begin promptly at 8 a.m. Yowzer. That is early for an college student, but there you go. Anyway, the class is run by "Professor Rob Dermant" (names have been changed just in case some creep wants to stalk me or something. Hey, it could happen!). He is a Woody Allen type character. Short, Jewish, gray wispy hair, very smiley, always in a good mood, and very enthusiastic about his subject material. Unlike Woody Allen, he wasn't tied to Diane Keaton for an x number of years and he didn't sleep with one of his adopted children. (Look that up if you don't believe me. Be warned, it is very creepy.)
The classes run from 8 to 8:50 a.m. with a Discussion class every Monday from 11 to 11:50 a.m. Discussion classes are especially important. It is a smaller class plus attendance counts as a grade. So be sure to show up! Haha.
Following Psychology is Anthropology 105 - a lab course. (I need at least one lab class to get my Associates Degree, so here I am.) Taught by a portly but charming "Professor Smithson," he exudes the same passion for his subject like Professor Dermant. Unlike Dermant, Smithson doesn't have the same power to rope in his students to get excited about the subject. I mean the material is interesting enough, but I really can't get passionate about it like I did for Psychology. Shame...
This class is twice a week, thus a longer time stuck inside the lab room. Monday it runs from 9 to 10:50 a.m. LONG TIME! Thankfully Smithson is kind enough to let us out for a break for ten minutes at 10 o'clock. A good breather in between such a long class. Monday is one long block, but the last half of Wednesday's class is devoted to Lab. This week we examined skulls, actual human skulls, to learn the various bits and pieces that make up our heads. My group had the school of a 45 year old woman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the group behind me had the skull of a seven year old boy. Cool, eh?
What is interesting to note is that three of my friends are in that class. Which makes for a fun time, for sure. :)
Finally there is Business 210. A class within a cool (if not downright cold) computer lab, it is a class devoted to writing in a business like setting. So instead of making long, flowy sentences analyzing a poem or story with words high on the grade level to convey our intense and vast knowledge of the written English language we write sentences that are short and to the point. No one has time to read a three page memo. It is all about being concise and clear. Our written language must be dropped down to the eighth and ninth grade level for clear understanding of what we are saying. We are not dumbing ourselves down in the least bit. Instead, we are learning when and how to write for business. It is a lot of fun for me. I like to write, I like to type, and the class is fun enough. Our textbook is very nice in that it is colorful, has a lot of useful information, and gives us clear cut examples of what and how we are supposed to write. Which helps a lot, believe me.
Because Anthro 105 ends at 11:50 a.m. and Bus 210 does not start until 2:25 p.m. I go to my mom's house, which is abut ten minutes away from school. I crash on her couch, eat her food, drink her juice, crank up the heat, and watch her movies. Just like a parasite! LOL.
Tomorrow is Friday and I only have one class. Isn't that just delightful? It is Psychology with Professor Dermant, and after that I have a nice long weekend ahead of me. Stupendous, yes?
Let's see if this will post.

motherf*cker
I tried posting a piece about all my classes, but the damn site wouldn't do it. What? Was it too long or something? Lets see if this transfers into my blog.
Oh okay, this post can get in just fine... but my other post can't?! WHY?! arrrrg. I have to do the damn thing all over again.
