There are very few things in the world which bring more joy, more relaxation, more companionship, more sense of oneness, than drinking a cup of black coffee and talking to your dog.

raynbow.org/ has a Lebanese Hunks Calendar…dear god…I need to get to Beirut…I need to get to Beirut NOW…it’s something in the Middle Eastern water or something that makes ’em just drop dead gorgeous.
In other news….this design is super neat:
And I might as well do an important update whilst I’m here, at the computer, before I get up at an ungodly hour to do work:
So I met with Dr. Jaeger today to figure out what my academic plan is for the rest of my undergraduate career…it goes as follows:
Fall 2006
Fall semester is already figured out with my entering my second year of Arabic Language Studies and continuing my studies in Linguistics. I start American Sign Language. Start studying for the GRE. Acquire most newspaper and magazing articles that have either been written about me or that have quoted me (ref: Washington Post, Time, Buffalo News…I think I might have been referenced in Newsday but I’m not sure)…laminate originals, photocopy and get ready to send as part of supporting evidence…for whatever. E-Mail Dr. Halavais for Recommendation Letter. Get letter from Dr. H, Dr. Jaeger, Dom Licata (I’m SURE he still remembers me…I was the only lab monitor to ever show up on time, and I had an A in his course), Rabbi Harvey and Reverend Linda. Have Jackie (iolausian) edit my C.V., Resume and other documents (she’s by far the best Editor I know). Bribe Jackie with Greek Food.
Spring 2007
I continue and finish my second year of Arabic Language Studies, finish my First Year of American Sign Language. I take Linguistic Anthropology (LING491) as well as more linguistics courses. (Take GRE?). Renew ATA Student Membership.
Summer 2007
I finish my last two Gen-Eds. Complete my 20 Hour CE Requirements so I can re-certify my CPhT Credentials March 2008 and not have to worry about them last minute.
Fall 2007
Drop to Part time Status (I’ll only have to take my last two linguistics classes); Loose health coverage under parents health coverage plan. Obtain UB Health Insurance…not get sick at all costs. Focus on applying to grad schools for Fall 2008. Graduate…give myself a cookie and/or gold star (depending on current supply of either). Actually walk through Graduation…make grandparents happy that they get to see me walk (I didn’t go to my High School Graduation…mostly because I thought having to practice was a waste of time).
Breathe.
Graduate with B.A. in Linguistics (Language, Society & Communication Track), Certificate in Paralegal Studies, National Pharmacy Technician Certification & NIH Research Participant Safety Training Certificate (I already have everything after the B.A…I just need that pesky B.A.).
Spring 2008
If accepted, can afford AND if we’re (Dr. Jaeger and myself) correct in that it’s only a few month program (which apparently it is, but this needs to be verified) attempt to get into NYU’s Translator Certificate Course…regardless of acceptance take CIPP Exam (and Pass). Sit for NYS P.I. Licensing Exam (pass this as well).
Fall 2008
Enter Linguistics M.A. Graduate Program focusing on Arabic Linguistics at UB; bribe Prof. R. to work with me on Arabic for free…perhaps offer stock in future empire as incentive? Perhaps offer sandbox in Florida as viable real estate opportunity…though that would damper Kat (katancelt) and my plan of being card board box neighbors in NYC.
So that’s the deal kids…I’m on the last legs of my undergraduate career…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….ahem….

Okay, time for sleep followed by an INSANE day…>,<

Subject: You may recall a certain accident
Date: Monday 6/12/06 1:38:00 AM
Mood: Entertained…yet, slightly an
Tags: edit me
You might recall an accident I had now roughly three years ago where I fell six feet into a cement floor, lacerated my lip, broke my nose and smashed in all of my teeth…requiring more than two years of oral surgery to fix and back pain (of course now aggravated by my former sleeping arrangements) that acts up at the worst times. You might also recall that the ambulance company arrived 13 minutes after the call had been placed by the police officer who first responded to the scene (another two minutes and the ambulance company would have been fined and/or lost their license; this same ambulance company has since been banned by UB as the responder for emergency calls).
Well, three years later we finally got a bill from them…our insurance company realizing that this happened three years ago said something to the effect of “tough shit, too late, deal” (however that’s currently said in insurance speak) and the ambulance company wants money. My Mother (who handles situations like I do or more aptly put, I like her) said “Insurance Company, Ambulance Company – you two fight it out.”
If for some reason the ambulance company thinks that they’re going to be paid for responding late, to a call that I didn’t place, while I was incapacitated and in no frame of mind to make decisions, have survived without my capital for three years and just now decide that they want to collect on what was arguably horrible (if not actionable) service (they had intake information wrong…intake information that they had to copy from my license to another piece of paper – not rocket science – among other things) they’ll find that I am the wrong person to pull this crap with and am in no way inclined to play nice.
So currently we’ll let the ambulance company and the insurance company fight it out and play it by ear.
Of course a letter saying “Oh…we thought you were being Good Samaritans and doing the right thing why else wouldn’t you send a bill for three years” chock filled with guilt might also be fun; but we’ll see.
Full update soon =)
