So long and thanks for all the fish!

First off, congratulations to anyone who gets the joke, to all those who don't, go read or watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . Secondly, this is it, by this time tomorrow, I'll be home. Then I will search for a job so I can afford to come back next year. I have a short list of things you should know about the end of the school year at college. You will have leftover dining plus money. You will be unable to spend it. I just got back from getting dinner at Out of Bounds. There was nothing there....(read more)

Look, spring really did come to Indiana!

2008-04-21T14:20:00Z

I decided to take pictures of everything pretty on my way to and from class this morning. Here they are So, I think that about covers it. Enjoy spring....(read more)

Whew, glad that's over.

Wow that was a busy week. Now I only have one week of classes and then finals, but most of my work is done. This week I had to: Write an essay for Tuesday morning, Write a reasearch paper for Wednesday evening, Do a presentation Thursday morning, Write an essay for Friday morning, and Go to Michigan for my sister's best friend's wedding Saturday. Well, guess what, I got it all done. And this week is happy happy bubble time. I have no assignments due, I only have to study a little, and then next week...(read more)

A note on phones.

2008-04-06T15:01:00Z

I've already told you how much I hate phones. I'd much rather email or talk face to face. That is just the way it is. On this note, there are almost a handfull of people who know the number for the dorm phone. The problem is that in a dorm, you have the same number as the person who lived here before you. So take the number of people you gave the number to, and then add all the people they gave the number to. Sadly, we have one poor guy who keeps calling asking for some girl we don't know. We have...(read more)

No, I didn't forget about you, I just got busy.

Sorry I didn't get up a post last week. I was just recovering from the whole wisdom teeth thing when I caught a real nasty cold. It was lingering and I spent last weekend being really whiny and feeling like I was dying. Of course being sick put me a little behind on studying, so of course writing a blog post completely slipped my mind. I had two tests yesterday and then my roommate's best friend came up and spent the night. We had a nice little adventure to the mall where we spent too much money,...(read more)

I want real food!

2008-03-14T19:15:00Z

These are the source of all my current woes. Getting my wisdom teeth out wasn't all that bad, but now I can't eat real food. And of course what do I want? Crackers, chips, pizza, popcorn, french fries. Oh well. Since I only had two wisdom teeth to begin with, I guess I got off pretty easy. I haven't had hardly any swelling, and I'm not in much pain, my mouth muscles are just sore, especially when I yawn. I spent pretty much all day yesterday asleep from the pain meds. Then I got up at 5 this morning...(read more)

Spring Break. I am not actually looking forward to it.

2008-03-04T20:08:00Z

Alright, so I'm sure you all have grand ideas aboutSpring Break. Going to some tropical paradise with every other college student in America and doing incredibly stupid yet somehow fun things. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. Then I intend to sit on the couch and play x-box and generally be annoying and demand sympathy. I am not going anywhere but home. I will hang out with my friends and family. I will sleep in. I will do homework. According to my sylabi, I shouldn't have much, but it should keep...(read more)

Picture Crazy!!!!!!

2008-02-26T02:48:00Z

Ok, so I decided to go through all the pictures on my camera, so here is a selection, including a few pictures of my still nameless roommate. (I like to mess with your minds. It is so much fun.) Everyone say hello to Bob again. Bob is creepy. Bob missed you. We wish Bob didn't like those ears quite so much, they really freak us out. This is the friend my roommate made out of the carpet she dug out from under her bed. Scared the daylights out of us everytime we came into the room. There really isn't...(read more)

Hello again my faithful readers. Ok, hello Mom.

2008-02-11T01:47:00Z

Hello. Not much actually going on at the moment, so I thought I would spend a moment discussing the strange sleep patterns of what I am going to call the average college student. Namely (or rather, not) my roommate. Alright, and myself. My roommate naps, a lot. The other day she took a four hour nap, went back to bed at 11, and then got up at, like, 10. That day I took no nap, stayed up until midnight or one, and then got up at 10:30 ish. Last night she went to bed at 7. Yes. 7. I will admit, in...(read more)

Again, sorry for being a lazy bum and posting late.

2008-01-29T23:23:00Z

I believe I promised you two pictures. Well, the first one is sad, but my favorite cat died when my parents were bringing me back to school after the long weekend. So here is a picture of Jack. To cheer myself up, I have been addicting my roomate to some of the greatest of British television shows ever. Doctor Who and Torchwood. In return, she has addicted me to the fine art of collecting icons to go along with my massive list of favorite quotes. Here is a picture of the character from Torchwood...(read more)

If you read the comments, you'll notice a question about the BSU dance program. Sadly, I know nothing about the dance program. I hope to fit a beginning ballet class in next fall, but I'm not in any of the dance classes right now. Sorry I can't be of more help on the subject Sharon. The best place to find out about that would be here. http://www.bsu.edu/theatre/article/0,,27105--,00.html It is getting easier to get up for my morning classes, so I must be adjusting to my schedule pretty well. Ok,...(read more)

Blargh!

2008-01-07T15:55:00Z

This is going to be my rant on why things are wrong. I really, really hate the idea of having one day to move in and get ready for a new semester. You have to move in, send your parents home, unpack, jam all your stuff into the dresser. It fit last semester, I swear! Then you have to get all your stuff ready for class the next day. This all must be done before a normal hour so you can get to bed and wake up in time for the class you scheduled for ridiculously early in the morning. Grumble grumble...(read more)

Fantastic Finals, my Fierce Friends!

2007-12-13T02:01:00Z

A TWIST ON TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 'Twas the night before finals, and through the college, the students were praying for last minute knowledge. Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds, while visions of essays danced in their heads. out in the taverns, a few were still drinking, and hoping that liquor would loosen their thinking. In my room, I had been pacing, and dreading exams I soon would be facing. My roommate was speechless, her nose in her books, and my comments to her drew...(read more)

Yuck, Finals

2007-12-11T15:20:00Z

Hello all. This will be a short post as I am in the middle of studying for exams. I haven't really tried any special techniques to relieve stress. I take study breaks, usually to read some online comics or go to to youtube. Sometimes I just end up taking a nap. I have had to ban my roomate from playing freecell after she hit 300 wins. She had me hide her laptop last night so she can study without the temptation of freecell or fanfiction. I have like, 3 notecards taped to the top of my lappy, one...(read more)
