I think my iPod could have gotten a lot more random actually. There are a lot of genres missing. And I always keep my iPod on Shuffle unless I want to hear a specific album or artist. With about 4000 songs it's a lot of fun to not know what's coming next or have a song you haven't heard in months pop up.

#9 - How Important I Think Education Is
Education is VERY important! I find it shocking how far in life people get without proper grammar. It really is a shame how poorly some grown ups spell. Not to mention the people who still type lyk dis or LiKe ThIs. That was cute back in JHS, definitely not cute as an adult. I also wonder how people who can't do simple algebra equations without a calculator get around. My math skills may not be the greatest but even if I can't figure out some calculations in my head, I can jot it down on a piece of paper and figure it out that way.
While I do believe that a basic education is vital - by basic I mean High School equivalent - I don't believe everyone needs a College or University education. I personally feel like I wasted a lot of time going to College. I was forced to take a lot of elective classes that had nothing to do with my major. I also had to take math courses and English courses that don't necessarily tie in with my major. Schools do this in order to get more money out of students and it is usually a waste. I would recommend getting a certificate degree or going to a specialised school to study. In these cases most or all of your classes will relate to your area of study.
And if you ever need a refresher on grammar I recommend READING! But stick to classic novels, not trashy novels, or gossip magazines.

#8 - What I Ate Yesterday
Actually this post is supposed to be titled "What I Ate Today" but so far that has only been a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and some tea.
Yesterday, I really didn't eat much..not as much as I should if I really stick with my idea of wanting to gain weight. But let's see, I had a yogurt parfait from Starbucks for breakfast with some peppermint tea. As a mid-morning snack I tried to eat a banana walnut bread slice, also from Starbucks, only to discover the girl at the register gave me the wrong thing. I think it was some pumpkin cake thing instead. It was orangey - not in taste though, in color. For lunch I had spaghetti with ground chicken in tomato sauce. As my afternoon snack I had some oatmeal cookies. Water with all of this. A twizzler at some point. When I got home I had two chicken hot dogs and a can of Sprite. Had to leave for an appointment so it had to be something quick. Then before bed I had some green grapes. And more water.

#7 - Five Pet Peeves
1. Crowding the escalator: I can't emphasize enough how annoyed I get when I am in a rush somewhere and people in front of me on an escalator are just standing there. In the way. Actually, it annoys me even when I'm not in a rush. An escalator is supposed to help you get somewhere faster, not do all the work for you! At least move over so that people who aren't feeling lazy can go about their day.
2. Grooming on the train: When did people get so comfortable in public that they don't mind applying make-up, cutting their nails, and combing their hair on the train? There are plenty more personal things I've seen people do on the train but I shouldn't even have to be talking about this right now. Worst of all is some people pass on these disgusting habits to their kids! Where in your mind is it okay to cut your kid's nails on the train?? And whenever I see a chick doing her make-up on the train, I always hope for a quick stop or jerky movement just so I can see her poke her eye with the eye-liner or smear lipstick across her cheek.
3. Eating like a horse: Why some people were never taught to chew with their mouth closed, I cannot understand. Don't they get disgusted seeing someone else eat the same way. On top of that, some people make noises when they eat? Ugh.
4. Poor grammar: Spell check is on every computer, and every cell phone so why are people still spelling words wrong? Especially people who graduated Junior High School. It especially annoys me when people try to use common phrases and they spell a word wrong or don't even use the right words. I wish I had some examples because I see this happen on my Facebook news feed everyday. Unfortunately.
5. LOLz/LOLs: I cannot stand it when someones entire vocabulary is made up of "cutesy" words. Adding an S or Z to the end of LOL makes no sense whatsoever! Writing "I mish you" instead of "I miss you" is not cute. "Babii" instead of "baby"? Give me a break! If you are over 18 years old, please start speaking like an adult who has some knowledge of grammar. Purposely using bad grammar is so much worse than just being ignorant of vocabulary. Do it once in a while but don't live your life this way.
