Oh Snap

I've had to crack into the ole' Blogger account again for a class. So maybe I'll post here again? First time since this summer when I vowed to never blog again on here. Maybe I'm back with more irrelevance?

We shall see, I do have a tumblr and all that craziness.

For now Hi to all you creepers from ENG 335, as you read my comments I leave, you know to get out of my C- I have in class participation. Hey he wanted my input so he's going to get it. I'm apathetic towards politics, and may not have insightful things to say. Oh well...it's participating right?

Lets See...

If last year there was roughly 100 days of summer and this summer is very similar I'm sure. I have 53 days as of today until I go back to school so that means by the end of the week summer will be half over. Which is ironic when you think about it, because today is the first official day of summer.

At least I know that for the whole month of July I will be working which is great. I don't know about any work in August though we shall see, well at the library anyways. I know I'm going to be working my ass off on desk at school when we go back for the first two weeks, can we say probably a 40 hour check for the first pay period? Yeah it's going to be that insane.

I'm ready though, the only thing I want to do the rest of the summer is have fun with Adam when possible (when we're both not working haha), find some stuff in my room I've been looking for that I really need to find, and then get my bike out so I can start building up that cardio endurance again that I had the summer before my freshman year of college so I'm not dying in aerobics this fall. I know I can do it, it's just a matter of getting back into shape. I noticed yesterday that my lifting at work has definitely toned my arms, maybe not Jillian Micheals toned but if I flex there's definite muscle definition.

So now I just wait for financial aid award letter, which will come in July hopefully. And for roommate assignment which will probably come towards the end of July. I'm more nervous about the second one. What are the odds that I'll get another roommate who's pretty cool?

But anyways I thought I'd just express my excitement at realizing summer is pretty much half-way over. On July 14th, I'll have roughly a month to go. And that's roughly 3 weeks away so yeah. A month and 3 weeks to go. As much as I don't like work sometimes it really does help the days not drag sometimes. Having fun people at work helps like Lauren and Elaine. Anyways I should get dressed or something for the day.

Are You Feeling Fine?

Can today be over with now?

Let's see today I failed an Econ quiz. Told people how I felt about a Tcom project because it sucked. Then had somebody email me about apologizing, when it wasn't even directed towards them it was just about the project in general. And I hate that fact that the only grade we're getting on the project is based off of peer evaluations.

Should've saw it was going to be a shitty day last night when the neighbor's next door we're super noisy while I was trying to sleep and then when I did fall asleep I woke up an hour later from a panic attack. Fun times. Then woke up this morning with what seems to be the start of another sty, plus I'm tired...and just want to go to bed.

Actually I kind of just want to go burn a lot of energy so I can just collapse into bed tonight and fall asleep. Which I may go do later I don't know, I'm charging the shuffle up just in case.

Today is just one of those want to curl up under the covers and watch tv and not have to deal with the world anymore days.

Hi February...

Just got done having two snowstorms hit Muncie this past week. Ohhh what fun.

It's been an ok past couple of weeks. Luck certainly hasn't been on my side but oh well, I'll hit my lucky street again sometime soon...hopefully.

Not much really has been going on just school, work, homework, me wanting to sleep.

Oh but I did go see Jesse Jackson speak last night, I figured I could do my speaker critique over him for Com 210.

Well I know this is super brief but I'm tired and can't think of much to say, maybe next time I'll consider blogging when I'm more awake or motivated...like you know Spring Break when I'm bored haha.

I Didn't Totally Forget this Blog..

Whoo update! First I want to say hi to my international readers and I'm glad I could help with your school assignments, even though I didn't know I was helping but it's all good and cool.

Sitting here getting ready to go to bed in a little while. Downloading OK Go's new cd and Motion City Soundtrack's new CD as well. We'll see how good they are when and if they ever finish, wifi sucks sometimes.

Speaking of music, my history of popular music class is pretty awesome, I have to write a paper comparing two songs but different versions of them such as All Along the Watchtower performed by Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, so yeah pretty sweet. Plus I have significantly less writing to do this semester! YEAH! So glad to be done with English 104. Even though I do have a paper a week due for EDHI and occasional other small writing assignments. But overall this semester is looking to be pretty good and laid back once I figure out my living situation for next year. Depends on my RA ship and all that good stuff. Arghness. If I don't get that I'll be saving all my pennies from work this summer granted I get the job again the library. Hopefully I will!

Alright well I think I'm going to go do something else, note I didn't say something productive. Again I'll try and update more often than I did last semester.

1 Week Down 2 to Go

Well less than 14 days to go until I'm back at good ole' BSU. I've had enough of a break time to go back now...thanks! I'm kinda ready to hit the books again, I don't know I like it to some degree studying and going to class.

About halfway through the first season of The OC. But the thing I've been most interested in doing is reading the story haha. I'm getting attached to those characters again. But yet I still don't feel compelled to continue writing it. For now I'm just enjoying re-reading...if I wasn't so dialogue driven it wouldn't be half bad...but hey I enjoy it haha but I think if it was anyone but me reading they'd think it's crap but oh well, that'll probably never happen, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Anyways today I started thinking about compiling my Top 10 list of 2009. So look for that possibly sometime this week, I already know a few right off the bat. The bottom five or so may be difficult we'll see.

Whoaaa College

So I'm officially done with my first two day of classes this semester. My mother would yell at me and hit me upside the head if she knew how much money I've spent in not even two weeks. Most of it is school related and I'll just leave it at that.

Anyways so far classes are going well, just going to have a lot of homework and studying to keep up with this semester...fun fun. So I don't know how regularly I'll be able to update this blog but I'll try when I actually think about it. Right now my mind is a mess of Art History, Spanish, Geography, History...TCOM....English...oh you know the excitement of my classes...ahh.

Ok well off to google translator so I can actually decipher what I'm supposed to be doing for espanol.

Felt Something Like....Felt Something Like Love....

I've been up since 7:40 this morning and right now I'm pretty hyper. Don't know why exactly but I am.

It's been an extremely busy week, and I've gotten a lot accomplished. I've already completed all my sociology homework today, and went to a meeting about my presentation next week. I'm leaving in a lil bit to go pass out flyers at the scramble light for Frog Baby.

Only 5 things leftish on my to do list lol. Only one that's due tommorrow...which I will hopefully do before work tonight.

So...boys can be weird. A couple of em' anyways. I just don't get it I guess. Eh oh well. My undying love for a celebirty ended a long ass time ago. Maybe they're a late bloomer?

Atleast the weather is getting better, supposed to be 65 today :)

Ah well I suppose I should try and get back on my productive trail...

Hmm...

Life is pretty copasetic at the moment. Just...I don't know living it I suppose and winning free things at Family Fued doesn't hurt.

Someone please send me suggestions on what to buy on itunes...I seriously have like $50 sitting my account.

Oh...and say hello to a newly employed Ball State Dining Employee! haha...Exciting I know.

Anyways entering the final 5 weeks of my freshmen year of college. Wow...the year just flew by...in a good way.

That's pretty much all I have to say...yep.

Uhh Hi!?!

Wow, I fail at blogging. Especially lately. Guess I haven't really been in the blog writing mood lately. I have been writing endless papers for various classes, that's probably why. Why should I write recreationally when I have to for class? haha. Plus super busy with other stuff too.

Next week is Spring Break, so you know I'll be bored enough to blog then, so expect the updates!

Ohhhh College.

Makes you open up your eyes to so many things. I guess that's what it's about though, thinking about things, discussing/debating them. Trying to see things from a lot of different view points so you can form your own opinions/beliefs about them.

Watching Bowling for Columbine in my Sociology class right now. Movie makes me angry, not because it's a Micheal Moore film but because of what it reveals...gah. I wish our society could just go through a major overhaul...*sigh*

Anyways switching gears, shooting a music video this weekend for Don't Trust Me by 3oh!3 haha should be fun times, and if we can pull off what we've envisioned it should be better than the original video in my opinion.

Also ER is winding down, Dr. Carter has cancer! What!?!! NO! Ahhhh!

Only a couple of more weeks of classes before Spring Break too....CRAZY.

Brr...It's Cold Outside.

So far classes have been good, the weather however has been terrible. Cold, Snow...wind chill...ick. My face is not liking it...it's beginning to get noticeably chapped. Gah.

Windchill tommorrow is supposed to be as low as -20. Lovely. I'd much rather stay in my nice warm dorm room than venture out but unfortunately I have to. Blah. Oh well, atleast I have a nice 3 day weekend to look forward to.

1 Down, Atleast 7 to Go.

Finals, basically already took one and have another one Saturday. I like these inquisit tests...schedule them when you want to take them.

Finishing up my first semester of college, it flew by....WOW.

Home for 3ish weeks and then back again to take on the Spring Semester.

Well, off to my last day of actual classes for the semester.

There's Weather Coming...I Can Feel It.

I woke up this morning with my usual chest pain, it sucks how that's the norm now haha. But I also woke up with my legs killing me. I hurt bad in my hips and my knees right now. This is the first year for this leg pain. Usually it the pain likes to stay in my arms/hands. They're a tiny bit sore but barely noticable against the legs right now. Doesn't really make me want to camp out for the Dark Night this afternoon/tonight. Yeah...camp out for a free movie that comes out on DVD this coming Tuesday. We're in college what do you want? ha.

I'm frustrated, worried, and just kinda want to help but there's nothing I can do. Lame.

The brother is supposed to be having toe surgery today at 2pm. If he doesn't get rescheduled for another day because a more important case takes his slot. He's just enjoying his P.E. free life currently haha.

Basically only 1 week of classes left, then finals. Then home again for 3 weeks. At this point...kinda have mixed feelings about that.

Joe's Not My Plumber

So I'm up this late on a Thursday night because NO CLASSES TOMMORROW! That's pretty nice...yes. My building is extremely empty not many of us have opted to stay here for the long weekend. But the boy and his roomie have so it'll be fun. We picked up some DVDs to watch this weekend. Watched Duplex tonight and Blues Brothers, Little Miss Sunshine and The Illusionist are in line to watch too.

That coupled with a minor tummy ache and talking to Tom are keeping me up right now but my stomach is calming and I'll probably go to bed in a little bit. Nothing is planned for tommorrow...yay...just sleeping in and relaxing it sounds sooooo nice.

Jack's Mannequin at 1AM is always amazing too, especially at a now mostly empty BSU. So quiet...even more so than Labor Day Weekend. I like it though, it's peaceful.

Alright well I'm off to bed.

Fridays are Always Interesting

So I was in T-Com this morning and we literally spent half the class talking about the economy. Dr. Mike was concerned about how we felt about it and how were dealing with the whole situation. He brought up the idea of feeling "fresh post 9/11 confusion/fear". Which was an interesting way to put it, or atleast I thought so. A girl asked what we could do, and he simply said; "Pray, Vote in November, Go outside enjoy the weather, and do other things to occupy your mind/time." He's right though it is scary and there's nothing much that I as a freshmen in college can do but ride it out and hope for the best. That an avoid my now daily CNN.com views multiple times a day haha, seriously seeing those Wall Street people looking like they're going to be ill... is not comforting.

Anyways, the boy went home for the weekend so I'm going to study. Uh...yay? Well I attempted to do so and was for a good hour, and was in the 6th floor lounge when the fire alarm went off. So our whole building had to evacuate to the parking lot. Then when they finally let us in, I went to the 6th floor to retrive my stuff and I was just coming onto the 7th floor when the alarm went off again. Joy. But it stopped before we made it out of the building again so we didn't fully evacuate and just went back to our rooms. Now I'm just hanging out probably going to continue to work on my website before we go eat.

Oh the excitement of college.

Goonies Never Say Die

As I was waiting for my turn in the bathroom this morning, I was doing my usual checking the email and facebook ect. While I was reading everybody's facebook status updates a quote from The Goonies ran through my head;

"Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best stuff for us.But right now,they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket."

Why'd this quote pop into my head? Think about it, many of my friends and myself included are leaving our hometowns for the very first time in our lives to go to school. Our parents know it's the right thing for us to go to school....but some of us are understandably nervous and are having second thoughts about this whole process. We could just give up and say screw it Mom, sign me up for Ivy Tech this fall or whatever, but if we do that we essentially give up "our time" Our time to live among our peers without nearly as much supervision from our parents. Our chance to have these experiences...and to thrive. But that also comes with the reality that if you screw up....it's all over.

I know that we're all nervous to some extent, just remember that you're not alone and practically everybody is in the same boat as you. Once we get over this first hurdle of moving in and starting classes, I'm sure we'll all be fine. And if we're not...come personally beat me up or something haha. Goonies Never Say Die...and we should never give up.

I Guess Everybody and Everythinng Are Changing

So new blogger dashboard layout, whoa. Plus new facebook layout that I'm not really into all that much, the only aspect that facebook added that I like is the IM....niftyness. Except Tom has informed me that when I do my tabbed multi-tasking browsing and switch tabs it says I've logged off....but aside from that pretty nifty. Plus I hear APnet is also going to be revamped in the near future. I suppose change and new innovative features and new looks are always a good thing.

I behaved today when we went to Kohls, I saw some sweaters I wanted, luckily I didn't have any money on me...haha I thought about asking my mom to pay for them out of some of my grad money but I restrained myself. Even when I saw the I Love Chuck Bass shirt, I figured it'd make me look very...umm...middle schooly. haha. Now if it was an I Love Dan Humphrey shirt I would've bought it...because on the show he's wayyy better looking in my opinion than Chuck. "Ugh, Damn that Mother Chucker..." haha previews....I seriously better be able to find somewhere online to watch GG when it comes on in a couple of weeks.

I'm trying to save my money for unforseen expenses that I can't purchase at Walmart, my mom is getting me a giftcard that she can reload from home...haha. Like you know....entertainment...and....I dunno software, or...clothes when I shrink them all in the wash because most of my clothes haven't been dried in a dryer in ages. Oh and Kohls had these awesome button down quarter length/long sleeve umm...I want to say flannel but that's not what they're made out of...but you know what I mean? Yeah...I need a job, but I've been saying that for the past four years...I've stuck to focusing on being a student, which I think I should continue to do atleast through this first semester.

Just downloaded a Ben Kweller album after hearing a song by him on my lastfm reccomendations radio...good stuff. I'm also trying to find I'm Like A Virgin Losing a Child by Manchester Orchestra, anybody want to help me out? This torrent is getting me nowhere...no seeders, and albumhunt doesn't have it. I'm loading up on music, because the next chance I'll get to download will probably be Thanksgiving break. Maybe....yikes I'm taking this powerstrip with me....oh man...this is not good. Ah, I just realized that. Shoot. I really don't want to use Ruckus....maybe I'll breakdown and buy itunes cards...heh. I really don't want to take the chance of getting caught using the sites I use to download and getting expelled over something like that. My parents would kill me...probably literally.

Alright well I've wasted entirely too much time on the computer yet again, so tis all for me tonight.

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

I couldn't sleep, I spent most of the night tossing and turning. I don't know why, I wasn't really stressing about anything, probably because I've been extremely lazy this week, today I'll have to get out and do something to burn off some energy, that is if it doesn't rain. That coupled with the fact that I'm being eaten alive by misquitoes...they seem to favor the right side of my body over the left haha, I have 6 bites on my right shoulder alone and lucky me has two on the right side of my face, luckily one is hidden by my bangs...but the other isn't grr.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my time this morning, I haven't decided yet, and ER doesn't come on until 10 if I decide to watch that. I did play around with my hair a bit this morning, it's still long enough to pull back for my bad hair days! Which I was definately having one today. Anyways I suppose I should work on those 15 or so questions about Field Notes From a Catastrophe...

So it still hasn't fully sunk in that I'm leaving in less than a week now. I'm nervous about my classes, I've never been the best note taker because I've never had to be. Plus me studying...yeah I'm definately going to have to force myself to study, of course I won't have the story with me to work on, so that'll help. Just thousands of other kids my age wanting to do stuff, ha. But overall you could say I'm pretty excited, but is it wrong of being scared about fitting in? I have this fear that people will instantly judge me...and be like screw you or something, I'm sure that's a kind of stupid fear to have since most of the people there are looking to make new friends, but still....the highly self-concious part of me is going....nobody will like you. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what happens.

9 Days Left

Late last night and into the early morning I talked to Tom. We talked mostly about his relationships or lack of relationships with girls. And a once mutual friend of ours that we've pretty much given up on. I hate to see this person throwing their life away already. After all it's only just begun...but ultimately it's their choice to do what they do and push people away from them. All I know is that I can't go down that road again with someone, not so soon. I've finally moved on...and I'm not about to go through it all again with someone else. Plus I leave for school in like 9 days. So I'm not about to get myself in some drama here and then just leave.

Anyways while I was eating my Brunch haha, you know when I eat my breakfast food for lunch, cheerios and some amazing cinnamon raisin toast that we got for 79 cents,yeah tasty...I was watching the Olympics...it got me thinking about the last summer Olympics in 04'. I don't remember much about those games aside from Micheal Phelps winning a whole bunch and the Hamm brothers...oh and watching Ping Pong in World History one day haha.

This is random but last night my Dad accidentally dropped a brand new full bottle of steak sauce on my foot and now I have a huge bruise...ehhhh. Oh and my new hair is working out wonderfully maintenance wise. I love not having to do much with it. It can be a pain riding in the mini with the windows down and the sunroof open but I won't be doing that too much longer anyways.

I better go force myself to read that stupid book again....I know I said I would have it finished by Friday...but obviously that didn't happen heh. Only 70 pages to go!
