So, I graduate from the local community college next month. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. This is a major milestone for me. After I get my associate’s degree, I’ll be on my way to a four year university to get my bachelor’s in psychology with a minor in neurology. I am so proud of myself that I’ve stuck it out this long.

Dulce de Leche E-Liquid
April 4, 2013 — missjackieThis is a review about e-liquid (terminology used for people who use electronic cigarettes).
When I first started vaping, I started out with Blu e-cigs. After two weeks of having to deal with the wretched things, I’ve realized that I hated their batteries (they would only last 30 minutes with heavy vaping). Then I stumbled upon V2 e-cigs. The batteries lasted longer, but I wanted something more. When I made the move to eGo style batteries, I’ve realized that I’ve found something I’ve always wanted. A longer battery life with very heavy vaping.
That being said, I kept hearing about dulce de leche e-liquid on the V2 forums. I bought a 30 mL bottle of it from Vixen Vapors on a Friday, and I received my order the following Monday (by the way, the company does ship quite quickly). Once I had the bottle in my hands, I allowed the liquid to steep for a week. Once the steeping was done, I filled up my clearomizer and started vaping. The very first thought that came to my mind was, “Oh. My. God. I have died and went to heaven.” Upon inhaling, it tastes really sweet, but not overly sweet. Upon exhaling, I was able to notice a caramel taste, which is quite heavenly. The liquid is so good that I ended going through the 30 mL bottle in two weeks.
I found another web site that offers dulce de leche e-liquid, but for a much cheaper price (instead of $14 at Vixen, this other place was selling it for $10.99). We’ll see how well that goes. 
Back to Blogging
April 4, 2013 — missjackieI’ve finally decided to come back to blogging. Mainly because I’m bored, or maybe I just want my opinion out there.. even if no one cares. 
What’s bee new with me? This is my last semester at the local college and I’m graduating next month. It’s an exciting and yet stressful time for me. I go off to a 4-year university in September and I’m even more stressed about that. Blah. Oh well. At least I’m doing something with my life.
My First Impression of Aion
May 14, 2012 — missjackieA friend of mine suggested that I play Aion, now that it’s free to play. I figured, what exactly do I have to lose? It is after all, a free to play game. I wouldn’t need to drop any money down to buy the game and the expansions.
One thing that I’ve noticed that the long download times for the actual game. It’s about 1.3 Gigs worth of stuff you have to download. I suppose it’s not as bad as trying to reinstall World of Warcraft. That beast of a game takes on average.. 8 hours.
One thing that annoyed me right off the bat is when you’re logging to your character. It asks for a pin number that you assigned yourself when you created your character. Really? Is all that necessary? One thing I would like about this pin selection screen is the ability to enter in my pin number using my keypad. I’m a fast typer and would prefer it this way.
Another thing that annoyed me is this:
The inability to block spammers. I have went through every window option for the chat thing and cannot, for the life of me, find the ignore button. Another thing that I have not noticed the inability to darken the window. Every single game I have ever played in the past, be it Guild Wars, EverQuest 1 and Everquest 2, and World of Warcraft, allowed you to darken the chat box. This isn’t so in Aion. Even if I tried to ask in world chat on how I can change my options, I have to wait until level 11. Level 11?!?! I have never seen such a game put such a restriction on chat channels. Ever. So far, this all my gripes for now. Will update later.
Ugh! My Wallet is Stolen!
September 15, 2011 — missjackieI had my math class last night. We ended the class at around 7P.M. So, I get to the terminal where I have to take my last bus home… And as soon as I get on the bus and sit down, I notice that one of my pockets in my bookbag was unzipped. This part of my backpack held my wallet (the wallet held my debit card, my state issued i.d., my college i.d., and my debit card). I noticed that my wallet was missing. Some douche bag asshole pickpocketed me. I didn’t even notice someone going in. I’m surprised that they didn’t take my cell phone.
The thing that pisses me off though.. I always keep my bookbag zipped up at all times. It was zipped up on the first bus going towards the train station, it was zipped up during my train ride. However, it was unzipped when I got on the freaking last bus. Like, what the fuck, man? This is another reason why I hate Philadelphia. People have no decency. Why would you stoop so low to steal something? Soon as I came home, I searched my bag to see if I had just misplaced my wallet. Nope. No wallet.
So, I called my bank to cancel my debit card and to reissue another one. This morning, I checked my bank statement online and the asshole who stole my wallet made a charge at a McDonald’s. That motherfucker! It made me wonder why that asshole was able to make a charge when I had already cancelled my card. So, I called up my bank.. filed a thing with them. They not only will refund my money that was stolen from me, but they said that if the douche bag was caught, they will press charges. Well, they asked me if I wanted to press charges. I said yes. Not only is it theft, but it’s also fraud (being that when you present your debit/credit card to a merchant, you’re acknowledging the fact that you are that person on the card). So, it’s two counts (theft and fraud) and I’ll make sure that motherfucker gets prosecuted (if they are caught).
One thing that’s funny though; dumb assholes who charge things with other people’s cards don’t realize that majority of things today are electronic. Not only is there a timestamp on the purchase, but there’s a video camera in most stores, including McDonald’s. My bank also stated that if I had any other charges on my card to report it immediately.
Not only am I pissed off at the person who stole my wallet, but I’m also pissed off at myself for not noticing. I know I’m being hard on myself and that it’s not my fault it happened, but this has never happened to me before.
School and Stuff
September 12, 2011 — missjackieSo, I decided to try out posting at school, since they have free wifi. I have 45 minutes before my math class starts and I needed something to do before then.
Anyway, I’ve been enjoying the new semester. I have Sociology 101, Biology 106 (I have absolutely no idea why they gave a 106 with beginner biology courses), and a math course. I need 2 math courses before I graduate. I still don’t understand why I need math courses when I’m majoring in Psychology. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand if I needed to take a statistics class, which kind of.. kiiiiiiinnnnd of relates to psychology, if I were to go into research. But, these are just regular algebra crap classes. I guess it’s their way of making money off of students.
With biology class, I have to have lab along with it. I haven’t had lab classes since high school, so I’m kind of nervous about it. We have lab classes twice a week. I’m more of a social science kind of person, not a nature-related kind of science person.
Anyway, I’ll try update my blog more often.. If I have time in between classes, I guess I’ll post more often. Wish me luck.
