Day 12

There was a thunderstorm last night! It woke me up at 730...but I got back to sleep and woke up at 830 for my 900 class. Class was alright, but I have a paper due Friday. :(
Then I went to Greek, and then Psych. I got my quiz back in Greek and we took a (pop) quiz in Psych. Both of them I got 100%! I guess I'm starting college off right...but it's not like those quiz scores will actually affect my grade. They make me feel good though. :)

Later, I went to crew practice. My legs hurt so much from walking around campus (it's one huge hill called mt. st james...so I guess it's a mountain?) and from practice. After crew (and taking a shower), I went to dinner. Didn't go to the dining hall, but to the place where I work and ordered a salad. It was really good but there was way too much dressing. Then we went to the club fair. I signed up for so many clubs. 

CAB (they get all the events on campus), SGA (basically student senate but it actually works), Ultimate!, Oxfam, Spring Break Immersion (going on trips to help people), and a few others!!!

The clubs handed out free stuff, like pens, stickers, cups, bags...but I couldn't take a picture of those. I got another parcel in the mail! Full of clothes that I forgot and scissors/tape.

I'm hungry, but I just ate 1.5 hours ago...I don't want to eat. Dilemma

Anyway, anyone listen to this in jr high? My bro's friend would play the cd all the time on the way to school, so I basically know the lyrics to their first cd by heart.

Pretty good!!
In retrospect, probably shouldn't have been listening to this music in jr high.
ohh or this one

actually, i think this was my favorite. i remember mouthing the words to the song...you didn't need to know that, but it's my blog so whatever!
anyway, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! idk...

Day 11

Today, I woke up at 9:40!!! I slept in...but i shouldn't have. 
I had so much work to do, and I still do...


I thought I had done the homework for my Classical Archaeology class, but it turned out that I missed a whole chapter. It was alright though. The professor didn't call on me, and he mostly just went through everything in the chapter. 
After that, I went and picked up two parcels (I get emails saying "you've received a parcel"). Anyway, I got my comforter! And a present from JARED!!! Some silly bandz from UMiami!!!


Check em out: 

The container even has an official collegiate sticker on them! Sweet!! THANK YOU JARED!! :) I'll get you something...eventually :P

(sorry, catherine, if jared got you some too, and now you know what it is, before you got the package :( ) 


I went to crew practice! Still don't know if i'm going to join... work study will get in the way i think. I also haven't paid the $65 for NCAA approval or something... 

I also don't know if I want to row or be a coxswain. The coach said I could be pretty good at rowing, but I want to cox...but the other coxswains are much shorter than me! I weigh less than some though....hmmm :P

For dinner I had shrimp!! It was really good! Sort of how Catherine's mom makes it (not that anyone but catherine, her mom, jared, and jamie would know...maybe other people too?), but not as good. Last week there were mussels!! But i didn't get them, because the line was so long!


Anyway, time to study/ do work!


ah this song is too good!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVCCjSGcnZE
"Baby loves to dance in the dark/ ‘Cuz when he’s lookin’/She falls apart/ Baby loves to dance in the dark"

Who doesn't love to just dance?!

Week 2!

Started second week of school. Fun stuff!!

Had my Monterrat, mostly just talked about the book. It felt like a short 50 minutes, so I guess that's good!

Then went to Greek. Had a quiz, pretty sure got them all right. I guess I'll see on Wed though. I think I'm going to stick with it, even though learning it is impossibly difficult. I'm just going to have to devote so much time to it! 

Went to the movie sale after that. Got Saw V (scary movie marathon anyone? Graham? Steve?) and Footloose I think. They were cheap, so why not? I bet I'll watch them more than once, and if not, I can give them away as a gift instead of watching. Then went to the poster sale. There were so many posters!!! But I didn't get any. My walls are bare, but I don't mind. 

Ummmm... went back to room, look at my email... and I got a parcel!! 

Turns out it was full of food from my mom!! 

Chips, cookies, Luna bars?, other bars! delicious!! ...I already ate a bag of chips :/

I read for about an hour, slept for 2 hours, read for another hour, then went to work.

I made sandwiches and subs and wraps and pizza for 3 hours! It actually wasn't too bad...and I get paid. Got off of work at 10. 

Yeah, pretty much my day.

there's a weird video for you...i remember thinking it was funny the first time I saw it. but now a month later, it's sort of just weird.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QePjIIBI-sI

too good!! "Sensitive thugs, y'all need hugs"

...and some more.

so I had some more thoughts that I thought I should write down...

recently I've been comparing how good HoCro is to other universities/ lib arts colleges on US news report since Jared was talking about something related to how miami is compared to other schools. and then we looked on us news report and anyway, i noticed that HC is better than NYU? HC is two scores less than macalaster, but 6 ranks away. 

and wesleyan is one score above brown. weird...
there was some other stuff that i forgot, but really, none of it matters. it matters what you end up doing with your degree, although degrees from some schools can get you farther than others. 

oh and i really want to watch Psych!!!
I've been watching these:
http://www.youtube.com/user/PSYCHonUSANetwork#p/u/6/Ms_65C4YmaM
Scene 1,2,3 for Shawn 2.0 and then
Scene 1,2,3 for One, Maybe Two Ways Out
and i really miss watching the show Wed night! I can't wait until Thurs to see Shawn 2.0

and i'm missing True Blood!!!! but, i can watch it in december because it stays on the hbo on demand thing for a while. speaking of december, i'm not sure when i'm going back to IC! I won't be back for thanksgiving or the october 10-day break (!!!!!!!!!!) I have...and my  bro graduates in december so I might be staying in NY for a while or leaving early in jan instead of staying until the 20th? all plans are tentative.

oh, i doubt i'll keep having my blogs go to buzz. probably the one before this will be the last one, or not...

HEY!!!
I just got back from dinner, and it was decent. Instead of going to the dining hall, like usual, I went to Crossroads which is like a grill type thing. They serve sandwiches, pizza, burgers, salads, yogurt, and other quality food that is brand name rather than tubs of food in the dining hall. I got a burger which was good for what it was.
I went on a run before that with the "crewbies" as our coach calls us. I'm soo out of shape, but I guess that's why I'm running!
I'm not sure if I'm going to end up doing crew, because I also have work study. I guess I'll figure it out within the next few weeks. Apparently it's not time consuming until the spring when we have practices five times a week and then compete on the weekends.

I have so much work to do! I don't fucking understand Greek no matter how long I study it. I regret signing up for it, but the pay off will be worth it. I thought archaeology would be much more interesting than it has been so far, but I've only had the class one day. My seminar is alright. I finished what I'm suppose to read for homework, but I can't seem to get a good paper idea out of it! I still have 1/3 left of the book, though, so I have plenty of time to solve that problem.

Me with the book I'm reading...no point to this photo really,  but I wanted to take it. :P

I still haven't finished making my dorm room comfortable. I can't figure out where to put this frame:

Yeah, that's the picture frame. Catherine put it together a few days before I left. I changed the bottom right photo from one of C, Jam, A from far away to the one that's currently in it. I thought I should add a picture of Jar and Son to the frame, even if it's a bit old. Anyway, the frame fits no where! I don't want to put a nail in the wall either! :(

Probably going to make this blog writing thing a daily thing, but the posts will definitely get shorter...probably going to include at least one photo and maybe a song...here's today's song: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RA30X8dSj0

how are you not pumped up after listening to this song? I can do anything!! haha...can't do greek :(

this song is pretty old anyway pop music wise. I listened to JB all day, so I had to pick something that wasn't JB. 

I have more I could write about last night/today, but it's probably not worth it, and it would make this post so much longer. Not like any of this is truly worth it, but it will help my writing skills which no doubt need to improve. 

P.S. pretty sure my roommate laughed, then wrote to her friends on fb about me taking photos of myself. what's new?

After writing JB, I had to go look up a JB song to put in this post...made it Down to Earth because that song makes me sad every time I listen to it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Gy-DQ4Xm0 (starts around :35)

"so far away and I just need you here" it's like he's singing about college (except it's about a relationship)! ambiguous "you"? although, I don't really need anyone here...so idk...talking online is pretty good. I miss having fun hanging out at people's houses though...or, you know, singing to JB in the car!

Oh and who doesn't love the amount of Silly Bandz on some of those girl's arms? wait! those aren't silly bandz...is there a new trend? 

How great are the JB pics at the end? hahahahh

By the time I'm 21 I will have gone to a concert at MSG! I SWEAR IT! Who else wants to go? 

Saturday, September 4, 2010

I did not realize it was the 4th. I thought it was the 2nd...time has passed quickly. At least it's only Saturday.

Anyway, I don't feel like writing a blog, but I will post some pictures if I can figure out how... 

This photos are out of order, but that's alright. You can see my roommate's stuff in the background. Here's me in my Sader Nation shirt to show off my Ho Cro football spirit!! We won today, 37-7 I think.

This was suppose to be a picture of me decked out in some HoCro stuff, but it turned out a bit blurry...I have on my work hat and my shirt and my lanyard ($7, but we also got a free one at orientation). Ahhhh where did my arm go?!

So this is suppose to show how I am darker on my left side than my right, so I'm pointing there...but it didn't turn up as well as I thought. Worth a shot...and you get a photo of me!!!

Anyway, I'll try to get photos of the dorm up later, but there's a Jersey Shore party thing going on so I think I might drop by and check it out. It's sponsored by my dorm too. 

I should probably study more though... we'll see how it goes.

First day of classes went really well. My seminar is nice. The teacher is funny and better than expected. I, surprisingly, talk the most in the class so far. But there's plenty of time and we're discussing a book tomorrow, so I doubt I will be for long...I have no thoughts on books...

My Greek class was interesting. It was filled with Classics majors which is to be expected. I have to memorize the alphabet and the uppercase/lowercase of the letters and words that use the letters. It's really difficult.

My psych class is filled with people! There's 102 I think. I'm positive it's the biggest class right now out of all of the classes here. The teacher is really funny and I've learned some stuff, but most of it was review from high school.

Today,  I had my archaeology class. The teacher is so interesting and I think I will really enjoy this class. I have always liked art and art history. Now I'll be able to identify artifacts based on details. I'm really excited!

I also worked today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I worked in a salad shop, so I made salads, chopped them up, and then put dressing on them. Sometimes I made wraps. I learned a lot, but I heard the best and most interesting place to work is in the coffee place, so I might try to get a job there next semester.
The amount of homework is more horrendous than I originally anticipated. I will, for sure, make it through, if only I can stay off the internet long enough to do work. I have a lot due tomorrow that I still haven't done, but it's only 920.
I had a few more things to say, but I've forgotten them.
Who's watching Jersey Shore right now?!?!?!?
