you know what I hate?  those really annoying "jamster" ringtones.  why anybody would want one makes absolutely no sense to me.

my glands/tonsils became so swollen that it looked as if I swallowed an egg and then it got stuck in my throat.  when I went to the ENT specialist, she seemed to think I was fine because I was still breathing.  I do however, get to have my tonsils removed on march 1st. 

as far as the whole car accident a little while ago, I finally got my settlement amount for my car  (which was not a lot considering i have a '93 sable with pre-existing damage) but still enough to put towards another car.  I'm looking at malibus right now, but i have no idea what I'll actually end up with because, as you would imagine, money is a huge factor, especially when I'm suppose to go to Germany in August and study abroad in France sometime next year. 

it's been snowing here all day, and to my surprise, it just thundered too.  go figure.  i should probably leave now so i can make to class in time.  i'm sure my 30 minute commute will take a good 2 hours or more tomorrow morning.

and back to that whole tonsilectomy thing... two weeks prior to your surgery there is a list of things you can't do, one of them is smoking.  I made it 4+ days, and then after work last night i broke down and had 1/2 of a cigarette.... i felt really bad about it not just because i have to stop for the surgery, but i want to stop for my own health.  i dissapointed myself that i didn't have enough control.  and then i had another half later on when i was with my friend.  it's just so easy to smoke around certain people. 

but excuses don't get you far in the game if life.

take care any & all.
