Break 09, Day 5: Laziness

So, I chilled a lot today. It felt good, but I'm starting to feel the pressure to stop procrastinating and relaxing and actually get some homework done. So tomorrow, I plan to do just that. I can't believe tomorrow will be April. This semester is going by very quickly. Thank heavens. Anyway, I was very lazy today, until I went to work, which went by surprisingly quickly. Bought some stuff on iTunes. Things are good so far.

Break 09, Day 4: Nothingness Can be Cool

I did almost nothing today. It felt pretty good, though I also felt lazy. I hoped to get some homework done, and I got a little bit done but not much. And I also cleaned my room, but again it's not much. Got new tennis shoes. Today was in the 30s and 40s. Not much else. Oh, and I want to travel.

Break '09, Day 3: White Stuff and Power Outages

So, there was all this white stuff on the ground today. Not cool. It made me mad. Plus, the power went out, which was very inconvenient. Thankfully it's back on again, but it has just been a LONG day, and has felt like morning for most of it. Very complicated. Also, most of this evil white stuff is going away (yes, I refuse to say THE word), but right now I am slightly mad at people who are in California, Florida, South Carolina, Costa Rica, and any other warm states or countries. Why? Because even the nicest people just HAVE to rub in the fact that they're not in Illinois.

Well, hopefully tomorrow I can sleep in and get some work done....

Spring Break 09, Day 2: Work and Cotton Balls

Work was crazy busy today. I was so tired afterwards. Not much else.

Oh, today somebody took a ton of cold, wet cotton balls (or maybe soaked packing peanuts or something) and sprinkled them onto Boringsville with the possibility of more of this white stuff tomorrow. Now, other people are calling this mysterious substance "snow", but that can't be it. I've seen snow, I've seen it multiple times during the winter, I've already kissed snow sayonara. It promised it wouldn't come back until December. So, it must be cotton balls, white packing peanuts, maybe fat rain, but there's no way it can be snow. Period. *sigh* Still, it is very cold outside. I hate Illinois.

Break 09, Day 1: Noodles and Politics

So, I am still trying to figure out how I'm going to divide my homework load over break. And I'm wondering if I'm ever going to figure out Illinois weather-today in was in the 30's! Grrrr.

But today was good, I got to go to Noodles and Company and catch up with one of my old Bible study leaders from Club ROCK. That was fun, though I ate a little too much Whole Grain Tuscan Linguine, so I'm sleepy right now. Then I finished my politics project. Not fun, but it's done! And I got a perfect score on my politics quiz today! So, in that class, only 1 assignment (the oh-so-lovely Obama project), 2 quizzes and 2 grades discussions to go until I'm done with that class!!! I've learned a lot, but it'll still be nice to be done with it.

Anyway, I am not looking forward to tomorrow cause I work 9-5. 8 hours of crazy busyness-I'll be getting a workout, that's for sure.

My Spring "Break" 09 has Begun

Spring break has arrived. Yay. I'll still be insanely busy with homework, but it'll be nice not to have classes for a week. Watched a movie tonight (well, musical, actually) called "Camelot"-it was interesting, not quite as good as others, but certainly not as bad as others. Also, before that I saw another movie, "Bolt"-I thought it'd be cheesy, but it was actually really cute.

That's all I can do tonight, I'm too tired.

Lateness on a Wednesday

So.... Not much happened. Went to a lecture on the first 60 days of the Obama administration, that was interesting. Plus, I got to meet my teacher in person (this statement may seem odd, but my politics class is online, so before today my contact with my professor has strictly been on cyberspace). 

Classes were okay, found out that I got an A on both my lit and speech midterm! Yay! On the downside, my next speech is the Monday after Spring break-boo! Since we signed up for which time slots we wanted to speak, I kind of did this to myself, but it's best to get it out of the way. This one is a Research speech, which I'm particularly dreading; I hate research projects, which is odd, because I love Googling stuff. Oh well. No, I don't want to share the topic; in general, unless you're the teacher or audience members, I don't share my topics. *sigh* 

Not much else, when I got home I watched a bunch of "Whose Line is it Anyway" videos on YouTube (even though a lot of their stuff is PG-13, which I don't like, a lot of it is really funny). 

Today, I want to go to Ireland, Spain, England and the Netherlands. Man, when I graduate, I need to find a job that requires travel....
