I have a new computer! My uncle just called and told me he got me a new one, and we are going to swap computers so that he can rebuild the one I have. I'm so happy. I was so scared I'd have to take out a credit card to pay for a new one.

Funny story: last night at Chinatown we were all sitting in the restaurant using our chopsticks, and then Olivia, who was the only Asian at our table, asked the waitress for a fork because she didn't know how to use chopsticks. Ahh...good times good times.

I'm still sick. It snowed too, which means everything is cold and damp, which does not bode well for me. I have a lot of reading to do for classes., but luckily this semester I don't have that many papers to write.

I never thought a politician could make me cry. At the March for Life yesterday, one of the many politician speakers spoke of how often, it is not the girl's choice to abort a baby, but the boy's. He described the scene, "A girl tells a boy she's pregnant, and when she looks at him, its his face and his words that tell her what to do." Oh man, I was in tears....because it is so true.

The March was ok. St. Joe's hates us though, but that's ok, we had more kids than they did anyway. It was a balmy 44 degrees in Washington, so marching wasn't too bad.

The computer guy told me my hard drive is shot to hell along with my monitor. I do not need this right now. I feel like crawling under the dirt and just laying there for a really long time until everything passes.

He told me he had a girlfriend. Why the hell do I feel jealous? I mean our thing ended like 8 or 9 years ago, no lie. I guess it is because he was my first little kid crush. I liked him in Nursery School and all through grade school. Wow...who knew I could be so territorial.

I'm tired and sick. I have to go to Chinatown tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday, and its so cold out I feel like my nose is going to break off. I hope next week is better.

This just in from the Asians: quotes of the week

"I know they were probably thinking, how come these Asians can't find Chinatown?" -Olivia

Olivia: What books do you need?
Gloria: Well I have to get a lot for IH: Plato, Machievelli, oh and hey did you know that there was something called the Korean bible?
Olivia: I think that's the Qu'ran.

Subway car driver on the Broad Street Line: Do you ladies know what stop you are looking for?
Olivia: The Broad Street Line
Subway car driver: Uhh
Olivia: I mean Temple University!

Temple students: they're just smarter.

Still, I am without a computer. I'll let you know if that changes. I hope all will be well by the end of this week and I can stop using the creepy computer lab.

I love my new classes. My Beats Poets class is so awesome! All we did in class yesterday was listen to jazz music. One of our required texts is to buy Bob Dylan's Highway 61 and listen to it. We get to read Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, and Bukowski. Another plus is that there are 6 girls and 15 guys! 15 semi-cute and really cute guys, no less! How the hell did I manage to get this class?

One good thing about being without a computer is that I have more time to practice my guitar.

"Had a bad day again/ She said I would not understand/ She left a note and said/ I'm sorry I/ Had a bad day again." -Fuel

My computer still does not work. I am in Temple's lab again. Hopefully mine will be working by tomorrow after I schedule an appointment.

The Flyers traded my husband. I am at a loss for words. That is all for today, its been a bad day.

At the moment, I am sitting in my building's creepy computer lab. Why am I sitting in the computer lab and not on my own computer? Good question, I'd like to know the same thing. My computer decided to go nutso on me and now the monitor does not work, and I need a computer by tomorrow. I'm going crazy. I stayed up all night trying to figure out what is wrong with the damn thing. I am so tired.

In this computer lab, there are two guys who are sitting across from me. They had the lights turned off when I came in here, and it felt like a scene from the Twilight Zone. Its kind of scary. Mr. Rogers is playing in the next room on the big screen TV. I think the maintenance men enjoy him. Ahh...its good to be back.

The Eagles suck. Where were our friggin receivers? And how the hell during the biggest game of the year, did Donovan get hurt? I'm pissed. Now Tarah can't come home.

Wild with rage and heartbreak I tossed and turned in my bed before I went to sleep. I woke in the middle of the night with one thought in my head: five years of my life were wasted on two men, both, who in the end, didn't care for me anyway. I learned my lesson, and I won't waste anymore time.

I go back to school today, and I am very excited. I miss my friends there, and I miss my freedom. The Eagles are on tonight and I hope they win, as much as everyone else in the city of Philadelphia. The Flyers kicked Maple Leaf ass last night again, and Bobby Esche got a shut out. I am mucho happy for him!
