a Sunday with my sis

So last night my old high school had a fundraiser. My older sister, whom I shall refer to as Louisa for the sheer pleasure of it, had to help. We had planned to watch a movie after it was over, but she had to work at it until almost 11 p.m. Therefore, I packed my things and enjoyed a sleep-over at my sister's. The movie was sick. Never ever ever ever ever watch I Hate Valentine's Day. It is a disgrace to movies everywhere. We didn't even make it the whole way through...I think like half an hour. I was truly sad that Nia Vardalos would make such a horrible movie. I actually liked her from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. She just smiled WAY too much in the Valentine's Day movie and was just too weird...and stupid. Her character was the classic hero(ine) that is supposed to be lovable, yet operates under a fallacy that, in the end, will be dispelled so that he or she may ride off into the sunset of Hollywood bliss. Sometimes, if the movie is done correctly, this plot is okay. This time, it was definitely not.

Anyway, back to me and Louisa. After we decided to ditch the DVD, we just flipped around on TV until Louisa went to bed. I stayed up about two hours later. I found Overboard, a older but cute movie and 10 Things I Hate About You (the television show). It was rather fun, but I was a little tired today for church, so probably not the best plan to stay up late. But church was packed! The children were performing today for Palm Sunday and they only did their program in the second service. After church we went to Walmart and bought some stuff, whether needed or not. We came back, cleaned her apartment, took a walk and enjoyed a delicious supper...which I made. French dip sandwiches and fries- yummy. Then she introduced me to Firefly, an odd but interesting show. And now I am writing while my mom (who showed up recently) and Louisa watch Nebraska basketball game. I am not that into sports so needless to say, I have been on the computer. I watched a House and made a new station on Pandora. Boy, you have to love computers and the internet.

What we have learned today, is that
1. I apparently have a fascination with hyper-linking
2. I will ramble about anything
3. Louisa is a fun name to say even if the person you apply it to does not have that name

The Birthday Bachelor Bash

Yesterday was a most glorious day. Yesterday was my birthday. :) I got up much earlier than usual because I didn't want to waste my birthday. I even dressed up for the occasion because, let's face it, who doesn't want to look fabulous on their own day of celebration and jubilation? I tried a new hip hop video that I had been wanting to, ate a marvelous breakfast burrito for breakfast and showered all by my usual wake up time. Then I made myself rather fetching and got ready for school. School wasn't all that wonderful but it did have the courteously to end quicker then expected. Mom made one of my favorite meals for supper and a few of my friends joined us for the meal. Then the awesomeness began...we ate cake and watched the Bachelor: Women tell all. It was truly a wonderful celebration. Ridiculous drama that makes for good entertainment, family and friends, and cake. Who could ask for more? So there you have it - a perfect 19th birthday. It definitely started my week off great!

Later Days,

Old friends, new contemplations

So on this lovely end of the week a few friends ( two, more specifically) and I went to a college to visit an old high school friend's college and to consider that college as a future place of residence. It was really fun to meet the people that I had heard so much about and to see the campus and try to place all of the stories that I have heard. So now to the new contemplations. I had previously been interested in this college, but I had decided against it. On this trip, however, I decided to give it another try. Enter the indecision. At some points of the trip I was just thinking 'never....ever.' But then later I was all like 'maybe?' Who knows. I think that my parents and I need to have a good old fashioned pow-wow. At meeting of the minds, if you will. I halfway want to just take a year off and go to Oregon and become a baker or Batista by day and a writer by night. It could be a year of adventure....but one that I'm 99% sure that my parents would NEVER go for. Maybe I could try it for a summer? Or I could just visit for like a week or two. Please? K. I know better. I should just stay home, work, and maybe take an on-line class. Continue my education and hope that I can figure out what I want to do. Oh well...anyway back to the visit. It has been absolutely marvelous to see my old chum :) The campus was okay and Campus Crusade was ...interesting. I like some of it and wasn't a big fan of the other. It was nothing against the people; I just wasn't a big fan and I'm not sure why. Except for the ending song. That was amazing. We sang "Sanctuary" a capella and it was just beautiful and heartfelt. Parts-good parts=AMAZING!
Anyway, I should get ready for a movie we are going to watch and go to bed so that I can get up tomorrow so we can leave.

lazy sunday

Well today I had a lazy Sunday with my sister. She has a cold so I went over to her house and spent the day with her. Tomorrow I am going to make us a nice dinner. I have no school in honor of Presidents Day and I am so excited! I usually have to drive a half hour one way to school and I am looking forward to not going anywhere. It shall be marvelous. Truly stupendous. I am going to sleep in and start my homework later in the day. I will just be perfectly happy tomorrow. I hope everyone else can look forward with as much excitement as I.

Later days,

p.s. 8 days till my birthday!

School time again

I got the blues. I'm going to call them the "I have no social life and a couple of papers due" blues. Last semester I had classes with friends from high school every day. This semester I see one of my old posse once a week. Its just plain odd. But on a happier note I am applying to colleges that I am thinking about transferring to in the fall. I can't wait to get to a college where I won't have to think about where I'll be going next. Seriously, it makes making friends at a Community College seem almost pointless. After this semester, chances are I will never see these people again (except of course, my high school buddies who I will see at least every 5 to 10 years at reunions.) Everyone here is going to transfer somewhere else! And I am not looking at the same schools as others. Most of them are going to transfer to UNK - I probably will not. It is not that I am discourteous to these people...I actually like some of the people that I have classes with...its just that I'm not going to try to make any of them my next best bud because we won't be able to hang out or really know the same people after this. Our lives will split and we will go down different roads. What's the point of putting down roots when you're just going to rip them up again in a few months? This is why I am blue. OK. Maybe I am being a little dramatic. But who doesn't need to be dramatic at least once in a while? Today will be my day. I shall fake cry and try to look forlorn all day. (k. not really...I'll probably have a fine day...just like yesterday. Like I said...I'm being dramatic.)

Oh, side note: I will be attending a wedding this weekend of one of my high school classmates...and we graduated last spring...so not even a full year out... and one of us is getting married...that's just crazy.

Well I'm going to go cheer up now. Maybe I should stop typing in a blue color. That's better. Well I got some stuff to study before class.

Blendy OUT!

At long last, I write again.

Well, I am sitting in my sister's apartment and I cannot quite recall what I wrote about last. We are watching Emma on Masterpiece Theater. I shall now recap. The second semester of my community college career has begun and it is going tolerably well. I am in a Calculus class that I like quite well. However, it is hard to be motivated for some of my other classes. I have one prof who is so disorganized and so random in his teaching style that the students have a rather difficult time understanding what it is that they are to do. He really does perplex me quite often. Anyway, I must soon begin the arduous task of looking for somewhere to transfer. 'sigh' I suppose it must be done at some point. It just sounds so tedious.

Well that's all for now because talking about a college search just makes me sad.

Plastics...think about it

So today I saw the weirdest speech. I was in speech class and this kid was talking about what we should do to end our over use of plastics. Bravo. Way to pick a boring topic. Should we waste? No. Should you write an entirely boring speech about it? Definitely not. If you are going to do something worth while, actually put your back into it. Please! For the sake of those who must listen to you drone on, add some Pizazz!

I have to write a speech in a week. It should go okay. I must pick something with which to persuade others. It will be interesting, to say the least. However, I am currently running on about 5 hours of sleep and it's almost 3:30 and I have class at 4. I should probably go find some group members and hash out what we will present today.

Ta Ta and Cheerio for now. May you all get more sleep than I.
