What is today?

Is it just me or does everyday feel like saturday during break?

Tomorrow I am leaving for Spokane where I will be til the 1st. I am really looking forward to getting away from the family and having some alone time. I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and has a fun new year. Have a great spring semester/winter quarter if I dont see see you before you leave. Classes dont start until the 10th, but I will probably leave a few days early for lack of better things to do. Speaking of things to do....does anyone want to go to a movie when I get back? I want to see fat albert. It looks hilarious.

umm...so...yeah...

Reasons I am glad I am home

Ten reasons why I am glad to be home:

10. Food. There is nothing better than food that is not drenched in grease.

9. My own room. Space to myself. Need I say more.

8. A car to drive.

7. Old friends.

6. A half way decent mall.

5. Did I mention food?

4. No classes (which implies no homework).

3. Family (a plus for the most part, but not always).

2. Clean, soft carpet

1. Food!!!!

It is nice to be home and relax. This year seems the same as always, but also a little bit different. We just got back from the annual Hoover get together and are leaving for big white tomorrow. Have a Merry Christmas.

What a boring day!

So to finish my last post...I was so sick of checing my e-mail, everyone elses blogs, and face book I decided that today would be a good day to paint. The tacky flowers on the doors of my closet are gone as is the quote Janelle had painted around hers. They are now nice bold shades of green, blue, and purple. So I just finished that about an hour ago.

I went out to dinner with Amelia, Dani, and one of Amelia's friends. It was nice to not eat at Hillside. Earlier Janelle was asking me if I wanted to go get food with her, but the thought of Hillside food makes me sick. The great thing was this morning before my final I wanted breakfast. They dont open until 7, but the door was unlocked and it was 6:30. I went in and asked if they were opening early in honor of finals and she said no, but they gave me food any ways, for free. That was great, but then I had the gagging flavor of fake eggs in my mouth for my final and the gum did not help.

Today will be a starbucks day...I can tell already.

Merry Christmas

Another Day

So I had my 7 am final this morning. I think I did OK. After the test I did not know what to do with myself! I have read everyones blogs, read all away messages, checked my e-mail, even made bon bons! Janelle was studying so I could not watch TV and I find online games to be boring! When Janelle was done with her homework I watched TV, but despite having 60 channels there is nothing on! I am watching the biography of Leonardo Decaprio. That is how bored I am!

I cant wait to go home tomorrow!
See ya

I really should be sleeping, but Janelle is not here so I may just save myself from being woken up.

I spent most of the day studying. I do not like finals especially when I know that I have to do well. I am looking forward to going home, eating right, and relaxing. It is amazing the junk food I eat when I am feeling stressed. Tomorrow I am going to study with Amy. That will be good cuz then we can discuss stuff which helps me remember stuff. I was glad today when I went through my notes to see that I did remember a lot of the stuff.

Have you ever googled elgoog? You should. Everything comes back backwards. In other news I now have over 700 people on my face book social network. People just keep adding me as friends. It is great. So I never finished my blog from yesterday and probably never will.

Last night we watched sleepy hollow. I thought it would be scarier than it was, but we kept making fun of it so it really isnt too bad. I love being at school because there is almost always something to do or someone around.

I am going to bed now.

mood: tired (duh)
music: RK

The end of Dead Week!

So dead week is over and the dreaded finals are approaching. I have not studied too much for my final, but I feel like I already know most of it so a little review should be just what I need.

This has been such a great week! I have gone to 3 Christmas parties and all of them were fun. I am tired and dont really feel like writing (or typing) so I will have to finish this later.

The cookie incident

Thank you Bonnie for asking...Several weeks ago the growth group girls of W-D went to some people's house (they are on staff with campus crusade) and made cookie. I made ginger snaps with a few other girls. Someone (I wont mention any names Janelle) added the sugar to the dry ingrediants. Then we forgot to soften the butter befor adding it so there was no sugar to even try to cream the butter with. So I ended up creaming the butter with my hands. They were clean and the cookies did taste good though they were flat (needed more flour). So when Amelia and I volunteered to bake Christmas dinner we were told no because of that incident. But, according to Molly, we have totaly redemed ourselves. Now they know that I really can cook.

Now about today...I am still tired. I was so tired last night that I could not fall asleep! I went to class today and have been thinking about studying, but I have been facebooking and reading everyone's blogs for lack of motivation or something better to do. I feel like eating some chocolate or getting coffee. I have only had 2 coffees since I got back from Thanksgiving (wow) in comparison to a cup everyday. Well I have read all blogs and now should really get to studying. Some people are not done with finals and have 15 weeks of material to cover vs. you 10 week quarter people.

Today

Molly...If you ever read this...I need my brain back. I left it in your room!

What a day. Look at these numbers: 6 bags of potatos, 2 turkeys, a lot of gravy, and 6 cans of cranberrys. All prepared for Christmas dinner in a dorm kitchen which is greatly lacking in utencils, bowls, and pots. It was so much fun though! My feet hurt and I am tired, but the event was so fun. It really redemed me from that cookie incident!

Today was my last chem lab. If you read about last weeks you will be glad to know that I actually did have crystals form! Now I just have the final and I am free!

Geez...I thought I would have more to say today, but I am so tired all I want to do is go to bed. I tried to take a nap this morning, but that just did not work out. I can tell when I am tired because my eye will twitch and it has been twitching all day. So with no further adieu I shall bid you good night and sweet dreams.

Brain Dead

What a day. It blows my mind to be so close to being done for the semester. I went to psych today and, when I got there, thought to myself WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!?! I dont have to take the final so there is no point in going to class! I withdrew from biology today. Not only was I not doing very well in it, but I also do not even need it for my major! I am very excited for next semester. I think my classes will be very fun.

So I am sitting here working on chemistry and as I read the stuff I have no clue what it is relating to. Another thing I dont understand is why are we being presented with new material! I am having a hard enough time remembering what we did on the first test let alone learning new organic strucures and what they do at the end of the semester. My final is monday morning at 7. Then I will be done! Pretty cool huh? Though I am not sure if I will be going home early in the week. Probably more like friday. My brain hurts. I am trying to finish last weeks lab, this weeks homework, and study everything we have studied over the whole semester. I know this stuff, but my prof likes to put tricky stuff on the test. I hate that. Well I'd better finish even though I dont want to. I am meeting with my tutor in an hour so I should do all I can so I ask good questions (great concept).

Oh yeah...and it is snowing again!

I am so tired. Last night I climbed into bed around 11 as usual. Janelle and I started talking and kept chatting away til 1 am! That never happens. Everytime someone would say lets go to bed we would just keep talking. It is very nice to have a room mate that you get along with. Yes, there are things that bug us about each other, but we get along very well.

Yeah... so I am going to study a little then watch TV then go to bed! I hope we dont talk too much.

Dead Week

Long awaited dead week is finally apon us. What it means, I am not sure. From what I can tell it will be just like every other week, but it is the last of the semester. This has been a challenging semester for me, but I am optimistic about next semester.

So the 6-12 inches that we were supposed to get did not arrive until today in the form of a couple inches. It was so disappointing. What is really not fair is that while I am walking in a winter wonderland my brother and parents are living it up in Orlando. Don't get me wrong. I do love the snow, but there is nothing like getting a great winter tan and warm weather.

I have been thinking a lot about this coming summer. I really want to take some classes, but I really feel like I should do some ministry think. I have been thinking about interning at church, but campus crusade has got great opportunities (summer project) to learn how to share your faith with people you meet at work and school. It is 2 months long and the price is pretty good everything considered. Also you get a job so it is not like I won't be working (which I think is important).

I am thinking that there was something else important to say, but I can not remember.

???

What to do...science classes are so difficult especially when you dont take tests very well. I study my butt off and my tutor can vouch that I really do know the material (that is how hard I am working...I have a tutor), but I can not seem to pull a good grade off. A C looks pretty good to me right now but even that seem out of reach (I am not failing if you were wondering). So I think I will be dropping biology. However, while reviewing my transcripts last night I realized that I can take 1 class at YVCC and get the equivilant to the class I am currently in because I have already taken the first part (this excites me).

In other news...There is a big storm comming our way. Snow fall has been projected at 6-12 inches!!! it just may be a white Christmas (just for you Bonnie :).

Well have a good day.

Random thoughts

So it is technically freezing out side (31). I guess that means that my room has to be extra warm. If you havent heard me complain before...well here it is. My room is so hot! The heaters are broken meaning that they are still warm even when off. My roommate is always cold so she will turn the heaters on! That is why I open the window when she leaves. I sleep on top of my blankets in shorts while she is cold. What is up with that? Does anyone have a solution?

Another thing...did you know that tuna can be frozen in a refrigerator. I got back after lab and it was as hard as a rock!

I am looking forward to tomorrow, but then again I always look forward to thursdays because I dont have class and there is CRU!
