life is a rollercoaster

Life is just crazy lately. It goes up, it goes down, it mellows out. It's just crazy. It has its good moments and its bad. Life is just crazy lately. I just can't think enough to string together anything else but that.

Tomorrow at 4pm I get to meet with the 4 women that I'm going to be tutoring in writing for an hour every Monday. The women have Downes syndrom I think, that's what someone told me. I'm really excited about meeting them tomorrow and tutoring the next Monday, nervous and excited. I think Cory is going with me, and she's tutored before so she'll be there to help me if I get overwhelmed. I'm really excited though.

And Brian Deegan won the gold at XGAMES for best trick!!!!!!!!! I love him and his awesomeness at moto-x.

Yay!

TGIF!

It's almost the weekend! I only have 1 more class to get through, a group presentation (that we have not prepared for at all) and then home! I wasn't so anxious to come home this week. I didn't go home last week, and everyone I know is going home this weekend and they've been excited about it since Monday. I haven't been. It hasn't hit me until today. There's just so much drama here. And there's drama at home, but at least when I'm home it's HOME and just that is somehow comforting in itself.

I have class at 10 tomorrow. I have to wake up at 8:45 if I'm going to take a shower. I might just be gross and say no to my shower and sleep til 9:30. That gives me 15mins to brush my teeth, dress, and gather my books/thoughts. We're going to work more on our 4 page paper (due on Feb 3rd) tomorrow, which I haven't started. I hate working on it in class. It's so much pressure. It's like they say this this and this and it confuses me from my original idea, and then they say "ok now you have 10 mins to write an intro paragraph with thesis (or something like it) and then we'll read them out loud." Yikes. I sincerely hate this class.

My roomie is at the club tonight. There's a local club that has under 21 night on Thursdays so it's a big event that a lot of kids here go to. Tonight was her first time going, and it was so cute how excited/nervous she was. She's not back yet, but she said she probably wouldn't be back til around 2. I hope she's having fun, she deserves a night away from studying!!

I have 2 temporary roomates. Something happened with their heater so we invited them to spend the night in our room. So right now we have 2 twin size air mattresses on the floor, and that literally takes up all the space on the floor between the bunk beds and the dresser besides like maybe 1 foot for us to get into our bunk beds. It's ok though, I'd feel really bad knowing we had the room but saying no sleep in your nasty smelling room. Besides, it's good to feel like a sardine every once in awhile. ;)

i'm annoyed

The Steelers lost! Come on!! The team that's been (basically) winning all season, lost when it mattered! I wanted so badly to have an all Pennsylvania Superbowl. That would have been cool. Especially since my mom and brother love the Steelers and my dad and sister love the Eagles (I don't love any of them, I just watch occasionally). My house would have been so LOUD during the game! I could have heard them from college! But noooo, Steelers had to go and lose. And lose by a LOT! I don't even want to watch the Superbowl now. Stupidheads.


Oh, and I, the lovely coordinated person that I am, fell today. While going UP the stairs. I have 2 bruises on my leg and a skinned palm. I'm ok, I just think it's funny that I fell going UP stairs. Don't most people fall while going down them? Leave it to me to catch my boot on the edge of the stairs and fall going up. At least nobody saw except my friend Cory. Could have happened during the fire drill... that would have been MUCH worse. I would have gotten trampled!

i survived!

I survived my first day, only one more '1st day' (of new classes) to go! Tomorrow is Jazz Cultures/Philosophy & Literature/Math Reasoning. 12:30-4:45. If you want to know my schedule (I don't know why you would...) it's here.

I bought all of my books!! That was my big accomplishment today. $210, which is about 100-150$ cheaper than last semester. Yay. I called my mom twice, had class, watched a movie, ate... yea that's about my day, in no particular order.

The movie I saw was the Butterfly Effect. I liked it. I particularly liked the alternate ending which, while I won't talk about because it might spoil it for those that haven't seen, was a very good ending for those that love philosophy. Like myself. :)

New template soon, I just have to find one and then find the time to put it up. I'm having trouble finding templates I like. I know I know I should just code one myself from scratch, but I'm 1)lazy 2)not that talented 3)dont' know enough and 4)last time I tried after HOURS it turned out looking like something I wouldn't put on my worst enemy's site. lol

Ok, now the fun part.. answering the comments! Thanks!

Leesa, if you think THAT's clean, you should see the room after my mom makes me clean it to her satisfaction. She's crazy with her level of clean!

Jill... it's a bank :) hehe. Almost filled with ONLY nickels. I used to collect them (..about 2 years ago lol) and they were supposed to be college book money, but so far my dad has just said if I ever need the money I'm supposed to give my parents the nickels and they'll give me the money for them. Why he wants $150 worth of nickels i have no idea...

Sabrina... As for posting more pics, while I'd love to, unfortunetly my mom's digital camera took a little bath, and so she's using mine because she needs one for ebay, while I don't NEED need one like she does. Until she gets the money for a new one. It's not a big deal, as like I said I don't really need one. I can just take pics when I go home if I want.

Thanks for all the comments girls, i love coming to my blog and seeing something besides my rambling :)

how i spent most of my day...

I spent most of my day cleaning my bedroom. Now, this may not seem like that big of a deal, but it was a complete mess. Really. And I have the pictures to prove it...
before:

then I did this:

and ended up with this:


and if I ever let my side of the room get that messy again, someone yell at me.

another one of THOSE questions...

Ok, so my last guy question was 'What is the sexiest thing a guy can do?' (which, btw, I changed my answer but I'm not telling you to what ;)
The new one is "What is the sexiest thing about a guy?" I found out a few answers recently, and I'm not telling any of them.

This is one of those questions just to get you thinking and if you want you can comment your answers. Any guys that read, you can answer about girls (if you want). Just keep the language anti-gross please (subject to deletion of comment by my discretion)

?

When does one stop asking questions?
When does one decide that it's easier to not ask, to stay on the outside, rather than get drawn in and have to deal with everything?
Is it just a coping method of trying to avoid unnecessary drama?
Isn't all drama unncessary?
Why would one willingly get involved with a situation they know will create drama?
Why wouldn't one just sit on the sidelines?
Wouldn't you rather watch the drama unfold than be part of it?
Don't you think that sometimes even if you try not to be involved, if you try to keep to your own little world, the drama just has a way of finding you?
Why?
Why not?
Why ask why?
Why not ask why?
Why have a post consisting entirely of nothing but questions that have been rolling around in some deep recess of my mind, not emerging even to myself until I started typing?
Then again... why not have a post like this if it's what I want?
If it's how I feel like expressing the things I don't want to?
Is this my own little drama?

I guess so...

2005

Well it's the new year for me. So I'd like to wish the customary best wishes for a
Happy New Year!!
to all of my wonderful readers. And those that aren't so wonderful too (aka, those lurkers that don't comment). ;)
