17 More Days Until Christmas Break 09

Auuuurrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh.

That pretty much describes my feelings right now. Yes, I am aware that they are not real words, therefore they are not grammatically correct. Yes, I did just randomly hammer my keyboard a bunch of times in frustration. Haven't you all done that?

Okay, okay, okay. For a Monday after break, it wasn't too bad. I was really tired, though, and I REALLY need to be more motivated. I honestly am not sure what else to say. Other than I need to finish my Spanish homework. Which is hard. As usual. Ugh. On December 17, at 2:20pm, I will be FREE! Well, for a month.

From the Realm of Randomness (man, I haven't used that in a long time),

PS. I want to go to Paris.

End of Turkey Break 2009

Ugh, you have NO idea how much my heart breaks that Thanksgiving break is over. Okay, maybe you do. But it still needs emphasizing. Won't be long until Winter break. It seems like all throughout the school year I count down the days until break, and then break goes by way too fast, then the cycle repeats, causing life to fly by way too fast.... Yeah. I get strange thoughts like that.

Now.... I woke up at 5:30ish AM to get to church at 8am. Now on the Sundays that I have to work, there is usually a 50/50 chance of me going to 8am service. If I go, I am usually glad I did (even though I'm often one of the youngest people there ; ), but I'm somewhat sleep deprived. If I do not go, I feel well-rested, but I also feel guilty for not going. So there's always a disadvantage to everything. But I went today, and was quite happy I did, worship was good, sermon was good, got to say hi-and-goodbye to some people.

Work today was hectic. I guess people decided to dump all their books off before school starts up again. And the ILL's were a nightmare. Augh.... Thank God I get paid Friday! Woohoo!

Tribe was good, had some good food and interesting discussions about doubts. Afterwards, I did homework. It was boring.

I am sooooooooooooooo not looking forward to tomorrow. At all. Dang, it's cold. My laptop says it's 36º outside. Brrrr. Any chance I can move to Costa Rica?

Math Day....

Ewwwwww.... The problems weren't that hard, they are just time-consuming and annoying. Plus, my brain got fried, so I didn't get as much done as originally thought I would.

But I still had a productive day! Despite sleeping in too late.... And this means that I didn't see anyone today (sad). Saw a movie, The Notebook which was interesting. I'm watching a Rick Steves video, which is good, but makes me want to go to France. What's new there....

Well, better go to bed soon, I have a LONG day ahead of me....

Black Friday 2009

So, today was pretty good! Work was a nice shift, I got a lot done (plus, the extra money will help). Then I zipped straight from there to Panera, to meet four of my good friends. It was a pretty nice time, it was cool to catch up. Afterwards, I got some Christmas shopping done. Yeah. Even though I swore I was not going to do ANY Christmas shopping on Friday, I bought stuff at Barnes and Noble. I blame that on my friend (a finance and economics major), who said that if I shopped today, it would help the economy. Okay, so the wording was different, but still. And it wasn't the primary reason, I just had time to kill. So after shopping, I met a close friend at Caribou. Man, it's nice to meet people in shopping centers, even if driving around is an adventure. So that was nice, and I got to chill. That was the essence of my day. But it was a very good day.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009!

Happy Turkey Day! Hope everyone out there reading this had a fun time with family and food. My Thanksgiving was good, mom's side of the family came up, we had some good food (like stuffing-stuffing is delicious). Then later, almost everyone in my immediate family had a crazy long Gmail chat about absolutely nothing. While we're all in the same room. Yeah, did I mention that technology is ruining my family? Oh well, it was fun. And I want to go to Paris.

Well, I have a busy (but hopefully fun) day tomorrow. Later.

Turkey Break 2009: Day 1

Ahhhh.... I slept sooo late today.... It felt soooo good. I mostly chilled. And cleaned a bathroom (riveting, I know). Got my car's oil changed (it was good to know that my car is in good condition!). I battled through rain all day. I decided I do NOT like driving in the rain, ESPECIALLY at night. It's nuts. Oh well, I'd rather have rain than snow. And I met a friend at Go Roma. Very enjoyable, but I think I ate too much Fettucini Alfredo Roma. Hopefully I won't eat too much stuffing tomorrow.

All right, night all!

The Start of Turkey break 2009!!!

YES!!! And I don't have a ton of homework, which is so nice! I have some, but not a lot. My day was fine, except for the rain. I don't like the rain. Oh, and I really want to go to Europe. But in the meantime, I'm excited to see friends tomorrow. And sleeping in, THAT will be nice.

Turkey break.... One Day More....

Classes went well today. And it was also "Seeing People Day"; I saw my speech teacher, my Spanish teacher and two friends. Very nice. And, it seems like aside from some math problems and maybe a little reading, I have NO HOMEWORK OVER BREAK! Yippee.

Tomorrow, at 1:55pm, I will be FREE for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!! So excited.

Craziness of Cru Rowing

Today was nice, church was cool, I got to see a couple people who are home for Thanksgiving break, which was great. Did a tiny bit of homework, thank God my load was light this weekend and nothing's due tomorrow (well, my project is, but I finished that). I also have been asking people to get together over break, it's crazy how difficult it can be, though, trying to get together with so many people....

Also, on to the title explanation. I was at Bible study (which was good), and one of the guys mentioned that he's involved with Cru at his school. Now Cru is short for Campus Crusade for Christ, a Christian college ministry. People almost always call it Cru cuz the word "Crusade" denotes a pretty bad image in people's minds.... Anyway, one of the people thought that we were talking about Crew, like a rowing team or something. After the explanation, many tried to work in jokes about rowing with Cru and stuff.... I don't know, maybe you just had to be there, cause I'm not doing a great job explaining.

Well, better sign off. NOT looking forward to tomorrow.

The Joys of Watching High School Football at Work

Work was busy at first, then slow. Another 9-5 day. Anyway, part of it was cool, because at the library I work at, we have a flat-screen TV (sound turned off, of course). Now, one of the local high school football teams made it to semi-finals, and so many patrons and staff members were watching the game, it was kind of fun. It was a tense game; they were winning, then tied with the opposing team, they were winning again, then a the other team scored a touchdown (I think) in the LAST SIX MINUTES of the game, and then they lost, 21-17. Oh well.

Didn't do much else. Watched an episode of Paper Chase. Read. That's it.

Fridays=Lazy Days!

So, Fridays I have no classes. Which means I usually sleep until 8:45 or 9am (and trust me, that is LATE compared to the other days). It also means, unfortunately, that I have no motivation to do any homework at all. Thank goodness my homework load isn't that bad this weekend. And I worked 3-6, which was hectic. Someone dropped 25 CDs in the book drop five minutes before closing! Now people, if you use your library any time soon (which I hope you do), please do not follow this person's example. Staff members really don't appreciate it for the most part. At least I got paid today; yay money! But I also have to work tomorrow, 9-5, yick. Oh well, I do... something fun afterwards.

I got a miniscule amount of cleaning done. Miniscule. My room doesn't look horrible, but come on, when is a college student's room ever SPOTLESS?! Oh well. And I reread New Moon and make a mental list of all the things that are wrong with Edward and Bella's relationship (and Bella and Jacob's relationship too, for that matter). Weird, I like that series, and yet I enjoy picking on it. It's not that great, and yet I really want to see the movie. But I can't fathom why people have Twilight vs. Harry Potter wars; Harry wins, end of story.

Oh, I also found this travel website for students (for studying abroad, spring break, etc) and it had some nice deals! A one way ticket to London is less than $400! I could totally do that. Well, at least, it's more feasible than $850-$1,200 (not that I check or anything....). Now all I need is an opportunity to study in England and I'll be set.

Well, better go. Hopefully this was a better attempt at spicing up my entries. A little.

Happy Use Less Stuff Day 2009!

Too bad I don't find out about these holidays until the day is almost over. Oh well.... You can discover some holidays, too: http://www.brownielocks.com/month2.html

Anyway.... Spanish was okay. My photo project is done. Some of the pictures are very crappy, but the project's done. So some weight has been lifted. Now, I'm just stressing because I REALLY need to bring up my Spanish grade. I have a B now, but it NEEDS to be an A, because otherwise, at the rate my classes are going, I will get a semester GPA that's not good, and would therefore cost me money (with scholarships and other stuff). So yeah. But otherwise, the weekend's here! Party! Only 6 days until Turkey break!

CPK and good music

I SURVIVED MY PHOTO PRESENTATION! Yayness. Anyway, the rest of the day went fine. I listened to the CD "Sea of Faces" by Kutless, it was good, I forgot how much I liked that band. Me and most of my family also went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, it was quite excellent (try the California Club pizza, so good!). And, I'm listening to the new Casting Crowns CD, it's very good. So far, my fave songs are "Until the Whole World Hears", "If We've Ever Needed You", and "To Know You". Anyway, got some homework to do, so I need to sign off. I feel like Radar (the company clerk from M*A*S*H*) sometimes, always doing a daily report. Not much exciting about it. Oh well.

There's A Light At the End of This Tunnel

Well, I survived my Spanish presentation. And got a good grade on it (yes, my teacher is quick with those presentations). So now I'm not as stressed, but still have some pressure. I'm working non-stop on my photographer's presentation. I'm doing Robert Adams, landscapes of the American West. Hopefully it won't be too painful of a presentation. So, my stuff for the next few days before Thanksgiving break:

Due tomorrow:
Photographer's presentation

Due Thursday:
Rewrite of 3rd Spanish composition
Smaller Spanish homework

Due Monday:
Photo project
Math homework

Due Tuesday:
Spanish recording

And that's not including the time I need to spend in the photo lab to complete my project, or the time in my math instructor's office if I need help with some problems.

Well, now everyone in the world knows now what I needs to be completed before Turkey break. Only 8 more days.... Yes.... Oh, and 39 days until Urbana 09! Crazy, right?

Okay, I need to go, much studying. It's gonna be a late night....

In case you didn't know, I'm stressed. Mostly about my Spanish presentation (Q and A? Really? Shouldn't be necessary) and my photo presentation, but also about my photo project, and school in general. I know it'll all be fine in a few days, but in the meantime, this is a good way to channel my emotions.

But I guess today wasn't ALL bad. I got a couple prints done in photo, there was free pizza in the Multicultural center (so good), I saw someone from my speech class and I got an A on my math exam!!! Woohoo!!! But otherwise, stress overtook me.

Well, better battle that dragon.

Happy Bundt (Pan) Day 2009!

Okay, so I didn't really know that today was Bundt (Pan) Day until a few minutes ago, but I ran out of creative cells for the day, and so I decided to write down a weird holiday. And I thought it was funny. Today was also I Love to Write Day, which I should have observed, because I love to write (but NOT homework stuff. Ick).

Anyway, today was loooooooooooooooooooooooong. I oddly felt semi-rested, even after waking up at 5:45am. Church was good, had a missions emphasis, prayed for persecuted church and had some missionaries with us (including the ones I know from Costa Rica-YAY!). So it was good, but it felt like days ago. Work was awful, we could never really keep up with things. And my homework is okay. I just want it all to go away. So can't wait for Thanksgiving break. But first, I need to survive tomorrow. Then the day after that. Then the day after that. AHHHHARRRGHAUGGGHHH! That was my stressed out sound, by the way.

Leaf Raking!

So, today I went leaf raking as part of a service project with my church. We split up into groups and went to homes of people who can't rake their yard themselves (usually senior citizens) and we raked! My group did 3 houses, but 2 of those 3 had yards that were COVERED with leaves, and I mean covered. We had 10 bags full of leaves for one house, 20 bags for another house and around 30 for the last house. We could have had more for the last house, but after a while we discovered that the backyard backed up into the woods, so towards the end, we just raked the leaves onto a blue tarp, carried the tarp over, and dumped the leaves on the other side of the woods. A lot of work, but we all felt a sense of accomplishment and the people seemed to really appreciate it. Afterwards, we had Gino's East pizza for lunch-very good, if I say so myself. The rest of the day I spent napping, trying to do homework and actually doing homework.

Well, I need to get up early tomorrow. Should be interesting. I'm EXHAUSTED and will probably be sore soon.

Back from Trinity

So, I had a great visit. My hosts were very nice, we watched a movie and went to a worship thing, where we watched a video about the Invisible Children organization.

Then woke up, met with transfer counselor (ASTRONOMY WILL TRANSFER! YAY! So it won't be completely pointless), sat in on an English class, had chapel, meeting with a prof, lunch and tour. It was quite cool. Got a nice keychain. Got decent pictures. So it was really neat.

I'm quite tired though; air mattresses are not my preferred area of sleeping....

Trinity Day

Spanish was okay, today was okay, nothing new in school. Only 28 more class periods (not counting finals) until the end of the semester! Hard to believe.

Anyway, I'm visiting Trinity today. I leave around 5ish, so that's why I'm writing so early. I got my acceptance letter from them (finally, one week after the acceptance phone call). I also got an academic scholarship from them. So far, the scholarship tally is Trinity 1, Taylor 0. Not sure how I feel about this. Oh well.

Need to do some homework before, better sign off.

Uber Short Post

Today was basically so-so. I think I did okay on my math test. I don't really feel like boring you with the details of my day today. So good night, exactly 2 WEEKS until Turkey break. I'm trying to work out hanging out with people....

Tuesday Really Is Monday Part 2

Yeah.... That sums it up for me.

I've decided that I hate construction. I despise it. Can't wait for it to end. Spanish was average. Work was okay. Was in a weird mood for a little bit and I don't know why. I want to go to Ireland. 15 days until Thanksgiving break (yay!). 46 days until Urbana 09 and I'm REALLY getting excited for it! Um.... Not much else. Sorry.

Oh, I think I got a decent amount of sleep last night, so my "warning sore throat" is gone, but I don't want to take chances....

Creativity on Hold: 11/09/09

So, I don't feel like putting a funny title up tonight, but I didn't want to JUST put the date on. That would be lame.

Um.... 16 days till Thanksgiving break, that's what I keep trying to tell myself. 2 tests, 2 presentations, one project and one million little assignments until Turkey break. YES.

But in the meantime, Photo was fine, I got some decent negatives for a project due in two weeks. Math was okay, as usual. I actually feel pretty good about the test on Wednesday. Which is frightening. Lunch was good, had Chipotle leftovers. Astronomy was okay, the test was moved from Wednesday to next Monday (hallelujah!) and I discovered how excited college students get when the Magic School Bus is mentioned (no, a clip wasn't played in class, but someone brought it up for some reason). It was funny. Although, I did love that show when I was little.

Not much else, I NEED to go to bed earlier this time, as I'm getting a warning sore throat. I get those on occasions which is basically my body's way of telling me that if I don't get enough sleep soon (or something), I will get sick. So I want to at least be in bed BEFORE midnight. Of course, a couple times I have gone to bed before than, but my mind was whirring for a while....

Oh, I think it'd be cool to study in England sometime. Maybe grad school? Eh, doubt I can afford it.

47 days until Urbana 09!

Church: Both the US, and the Persecuted

Today, I had many adventures in driving. Hopefully, I won't have any more tomorrow. Church was good. Did some homework, though it's never as much as I plan to do. Oh well, stuff for tomorrow is done. But tomorrow, I need to have a detailed to-do list, broken down into small, manageable chunks, that way, it will hopefully be easier to get everything done. Wish me luck with that.

Tribe was good, saw some people, had Hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. Instead of a normal Bible study, we talked about and prayed for the persecuted church. There are more Christians who are persecuted today than there have been at any point in history. In some countries, Christians can be arrested, tortured, or even killed for their faith. Totally different from U.S., where when we go to church, we never had to worry about the building being burned down or closed down or raided or anything. And many people in the US may have, like, 3 Bibles or more in their houses; in persecuted countries, it is an amazing joy to have just one Bible for the whole community. I knew all these facts before, but it's amazing how quickly I forgot them. Definitely an eye-opener of sorts. So quite a good night.

Not much else today.... 48 days until Urbana (right?). 17 until Turkey break!

Tiredness is Quite Evident in My Life

Work 9-5. It was steady, then hectic, then slow, then busy. At least I got some homework done. As always, though, I could always do more. Once, just once, I would like to NOT have anything to do at all. But alas, that doesn't happen. Oh well....

Better go to bed, I've been tired all day and I have a little bit of a headache.

I Never Seem to do Enough Homework

Seriously, my afternoon was so productive, and yet it's not enough! It's never enough....

My day was eh. Woke up too late, watched a movie and did math AT THE SAME TIME, worked 3-6, played Farmville, listened to music, attempted to find a good photographer and contemplated the universe. Okay, so I didn't really do the last part. Maybe I should tomorrow....

Yeah, sorry, I have nothing exciting to report. Only 50 days until Urbana 09. 19 days until Thanksgiving break. So can't wait.

Well, maybe I should turn off my computer soon; I do NOT want to be up at midnight tonight!

Cuidado, ¡hay una abeja en la salon de clase!

So, today started okay, woke up later than normal, but I guess I've been sleep-deprived.

Then Spanish class was very eventful at the beginning. We had a few presentations, and towards the end of Ted's presentation, Justine notices that there's a bee on Becca's shoulder. Naturally, half the class freaks out, it flies around then goes up to the ceiling. Ted finishes his presentation and as CJ gives his, the bee flies down, lands on his forehead, then flies around him. He walks around various areas in the classroom, but the bee kept following him (he was wearing a yellow shirt). So, our teacher tells CJ to come back and finish his presentation, and if the bee comes close, she'll get it. CJ comes up, bee flies by him and lands on the projection screen, our teacher grabs the textbook, whacks the bee, the bee falls down and our teacher steps on it. We applauded, and Señora held up the textbook and said "Another way to use your book". My thoughts exactly. Anyway, that's what's with my title (Look out, there's a bee in the classroom!"). The rest of Spanish was uneventful.

I went to a stamping party with my mom to make Christmas cards. I made 19, she made 20. I've never been more ashamed in my life. ; ) Just kidding. Normally I make more, but oh well. It was fun, regardless.

After that, watched a movie, and am contemplating going to bed real soon. Can't wait to sleep in, though homework will probably resemble a nightmare this weekend. How I'm going to manage my time, I have no idea....

Oh, and today was Guy Fawkes Day! Makes me want to go to England.... Again.

Saved from Sandwiches by the Panda

I did not have sandwiches today for lunch! Instead, my family took me out to Panda Express! It was delicious. Anyway, that explains the title.

Now, to the rest of my day. Photo was okay, did some spotting (which is when you use a brush or special pen marker and try to cover up dust spots), it wasn't my favorite thing to do. Math was okay, meeting with math teacher was fine. Astronomy was fine. I'm so ready for break right now. Found out what will/will not transfer to Taylor. It was nice.

Also, last night I got to chat with a friend via Gmail, which was quite wonderful. And I know I say "a friend" a lot; sometimes I mention names, sometimes I don't. I do know that some people do have some issues with having names on other peoples' blogs and stuff (even though I'd never post last names). It depends.

Okay, real tired, got to go.

Accepted: Part 2

Today was okay. Spanish was fine, I kept having issues, I always embarrass myself big time in that class. Oh well, only 10 more class periods, then the final. Wow, that sounds weird. I got an email from Urbana today and I'm suddenly even more excited; 53 days! That sounds weird, too.

Oh, and I got a voicemail message saying I've been accepted to Trinity International University. I should be really excited about this, but... I'm not. I'm not sure why. Maybe part of it is, after my first acceptance letter, the second one is not quite as important? Well, okay, it is important, but not as big of a deal, I guess. Also, Trinity is my second choice, not my first, however, it has a MUCH better reputation of giving good financial aid packages than Taylor. So now my chances of going to Taylor are slim right now. I know everything will work out somehow if I'm meant to be at Taylor, but I do need to be realistic. I know I said I'd be happy at either college, but.... Well, I'd like to get away. I'm kind of sick of this area. I don't know. I'm so looking forward to a year from now when I'll look at this post and laugh at my former self for not seeing God's plan. But I'm not at that point yet, so.... Meh.

Well, I better finish my homework and wrap stuff up and try to wind down a little. It may be another midnight night....

Why Can't My Mind Focus On This Week?

I mean, seriously, my mind has already jumped to Thanksgiving break, past Thanksgiving break, onto Christmas break! It's so hard to concentrate on anything else.

Anyway, photo was okay. Assignment was due, overall fine. There were some constructive criticisms and one picture my professor thought looked really good (even saying it was a good example of what a good picture would look like). But of course, do I dwell on compliments like that when I look back? Nope, I mostly think about the criticisms. I'm such a perfectionist. At least I remember compliments in math class. Speaking of math, I got a perfect score on my math quiz! Okay, so it was only worth 10 points and almost everyone in the class got a perfect score, but it's still kinda cool.

I saw MK at school, it was her birthday today so I got to give her a birthday hug. Yes, I recognize that these events are not in chronological order, but I'm too tired to care right now. It will remain a mystery forever.

Astro was okay, got to go outside, neat but cold. At least we're not in Alaska; it's 10 degrees up there!

Um.... Over the course of the day I finally watched all of "Grease". I need to see it again with someone who appreciates it and can give me some insight, because it really bugged me. I totally wanted to slap Danny Zuko in the face and tell him to grow up (though there's no denying that John Travolta is an amazing dancer) and I wanted to tell Sandy that she is already cute and that there is no need to dress or act like a tramp (a very polite way of saying what my impression of her clothes at the end of the film was). *sigh* I am a strange human being.

Well, I'm getting close to midnight, so I better sign off. Later, all. Can't wait for this semester to be over....

Daylight Savings Time Ends; Yay!

Yes, despite the fact that my internal clock is all messed up, I was very happy to get my extra hour of sleep! My body thinks it's midnight now, but it's actually 11:08pm, so ha! Speaking of which, I was asleep (or trying to sleep) at midnight! Yay! So hopefully I can go to bed early. Yes, it's sad when 11:30 pm is considered going to bed "early".

Anyway, I did not wake up early enough for church (I know, shameful). I went to work, which was really hectic. I was tired and cranky all day and sometimes it was hard not to strangle people. Bible study was good, lovesick couples are not good. I don't why they bug me so much. Married couples don't bother me for the most part, just dating couples. Okay, so not EVERY dating couple; there have actually been a few couples that are actually normal and have an actual life and hang out with friends besides their partner (shocker, I know). Those are the dating couples I like. The ones that make me want to gag are the ones that are practically attached to the hip and give disgusting goo-goo eyes and won't stop the PDA.... Unfortunately, that group makes up a large percentage of the couples that I see. And being the cynical person sometimes, I get this feeling (and these days I'm usually right) that most likely those couples who are all lovey-dovey and gooey and gross will eventually break up and all those feelings, time, etc will have all be wasted. And yet, despite all that disgusting stuff, I really really really want a boyfriend. *sigh* Only not the way I describe. Please, to all who know me, if you see me doing any of the weird stuff I described above with any guy-HIT ME HARD. All right, enough about the relationship rant. That's just been a touchy topic for me lately.

I got some homework done, didn't watch Grease yet, maybe tomorrow in between classes. Right now I NEED to hit the sack. Adios.
