Day 32

Today wasn't exciting.
It was raining all day, but it was enjoyable. I used my umbrella!!
Thursday I have my first test. It's in archaeology and it's a slide exam. He'll show us a picture on the projector thing and we have to identify it and say some stuff about it. it seems really difficult.

Next wed i have my psych test and on fri i have my greek test!
I'm really nervous about the greek test. psych not so much, but i still think it will be hard.
i JUST turned in my montserrat paper. It wasn't too bad.
on a great note:
I GOT A 97 on my first paper!!! well, see, in montserrat it's suppose to teach you to discuss/participate and get you better at writing. so we got to rewrite this essay.
most of the points i missed were from grammar.
Here's a photo of the 99 (it's in two grades, one for content and structure and another for grammar)

don't know if you can see  it that well though.

ummm crew was alrgiht. it was in the tanks because it was raining too much.
i figured out why i didn't get my pay check. some problem with the system. i'll get one in two weeks i think? something ridiculous.

oh yeah, i got two parcels today! one from my mom!!! full of food and clothes! which i definitely needed. i can put off laundry for a few more days because i got some more of my jeans! and some sweatpants!!

and the second parcel was from macys. hmm,  spending money when i shouldn't be :(

gonna go study and read now.
ah!!!!!!

Day 31 - ONE MONTH!!!! AND CATHERINE'S BIRTHDAY!

Day 29/30

so, i didn't write a new post because i didn't get on teh computer after i got home last night.
my roommate and her boyfriend were here.
i ended up sleeping in my bed. weird? idk...
i slept til 12 too, so i felt realllly bad :(
but she'll see him in two weeks i think.
haha at 2 couples to my list. ahhh lol. wait, maybe 3, no probably 2.
ahhh inside joke only i get! does that make it funny? no...

hmm, today i spent ALL day studying and eating when it was time to eat.
i'm so scared for my test on thursday.
i've made a list of when i'm going to study for this week.
here's to hoping that i follow it!

umm, yesterday was fun. hung out wiht some girls from my hall. meeting new people sort of.
ummmm ohhh had crew yesterday morning!
first of all, we saw an 8 person boat but they were sculling in it. so they each had two oars so 16 oars total and it was so cool!!!
and second, we brought out a 4 person boat as well as an 8 person. the 4 person one FLIPPED!!
it was so cool, and the people on the boat said it was a lot of fun! hahah.
and they all got their shoes back, even though they were wet.
(we take our shoes into the boat because we share the dock with 5 or 6 other schools, usually 2 while we are rowing though)

hmm first time being on my laptop all of today. weird.
anyway, don't have a song or a picture today. maybe tomorrow. sorry!!
don't have time to look for song and don't want to figure out an interesting photo.

Day 28

Realized this week was super boring, but that's ok. that happens sometimes.
i'm going to sleep early tonight because crew practice is at 7am :( i'm rowing 6 seat, should be interesting. today i was 4, and it sucked. usually i'm bow, so i'm not used to being port, or so up front.

i might take a work shift from 12-4, but i dont know if i want to do that. that's four hours of working.
i didn't get a paycheck this week! what happened?? I have to go talk to the people tomorrow after i look in my mailbox once more.

hmm, oh on the way back from dinner, we saw a skunk! and right before we saw the skunk, i was talking about how i saw one a few days ago. and the people with me said that it could have had rabies since it was out during the day! that's scary!
rabid fox? rabid skunks? on campus!
anyway, i ended up basically running back to my dorm. i kept on thinking about rabies. i did run into a girl i knew, so i talked to her for a while. running is so cool! while i was running, i thought of how catherine says she runs everywhere, but while i was running i was wondering if the people in the cars thought i was weird.

um, i think i'll do some work and then fall asleep. my roommate went out to a frisbee party! i'm soooooooo tired.

i'm that man on the moon and imma do what i do.
=)

Day 27

I think I've found out that nearly EVERYONE except the sports people (who i don't really hang out with since i don't play their sport) is leaving for october break. what am i going to do?!  :(

umm, i have an archaeology test in exactly one week.
i think it's going to be reallly difficult and i'll have to study a lot.

i saw a skunk on campus today. it was fun! haha, but idk,
i was in a building and i saw it from two stories up, so it wasn't scary. duh...

um i'm pretty much tired. i worked today. i want my paycheck. best thing about fridays i think.
and that it's the end of the week.
i get one tomorrow! probably won't be much since I didn't work two shifts.

might go see Easy A this weekend. we'll see what happens. people on my floor want to, but i dont really want to. seems sort of dumb, like ever other movie similar to it, i guess you know what to expect when you walk in. idk...jared said it was really funny, so i guess it will be worth it. the movie theater here is so cool!! two floors and stuff. hahaha...it's just a movie theater.

so during work today, they were playing ummm maid of honor. that movie with patrick demsey (speaking of him, anyone watch grey's anatomy tonight?) and the girl from winthrop, iowa (!!!).
yeah, anyway, at the end they played this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8OipmKFDeM
and it was so cool cause i silently sung along.

and it's awesome to go on people's shared itunes. because then you learn more music.
i'm listening to Fun and i hadn't heard of them before i stumbled upon this guy's library.

 photo tomorrow for sure! maybe....
i don't feel like just taking a photo.
oh wait, earlier i tried to take a photo of the outside of my window.
hmm

that's the bottom view sort of. i didn't take a great photo. maybe another time? you can see where people start to walk to get out to party. um, go straight, not right, and that goes out a gate. yeah.

Day 26

I've got to learn to wake up with my alarm clock. I just snooze until I have five minutes before I have to leave for class and then rush and get to my first class.

Hmm, today was average. I covered someone's shift today for work. It was in the deli. turned out the other RA on my floor works the shift too.

umm i got to see myself row on the tv today. the coach recorded us, and then we watched in slow mo our movement and stroke and stuff. our position. arm handle. when the paddle enters the water.
stuff.

ha um i can't stop listening to kid cudi, but since i don't want to post a cudi song, i'll post the song my roommate was just singing.

ah if i could see jersey boys again, i totally would!!!
but listening to frankie valli is good too!!

oh! there might be a rabid fox on my campus.
spotted sort of near my dorm.
no photo today :(
tomorrow for sure!

Day 25

wow approaching a month here.
scary thought. sort of.
though it feels like i've been here forever, so not that scary.

woke up at 10 today, maybe 11? all i remember is wasting an hour, and then going to get a smoothie and then reading for about 1.5 hours. then going to class, then crew, then um here. took a shower. hah idk
missed glee, but that's ok. writing paper instead.
i have greek due tomorrow, per usual.
i also have psychology, but i'm not sure if i'm going to do the work, because i think i did it last week. i think i'm ahead in that class. it's a pretty easy class because of neuzil's class!!

thought:
hmm i don't have a thought today. i could force thoughts. i shouldn't though. i shouldn't have a thought section everyday either.
meh, i just made myself think of one:
this week is alcohol awareness week. i think it's pretty stupid to drink just to get drunk.
i dont mind when people party and drink, but getting completely wasted is stupid.
and driving when you had alcohol is even more stupid. i have no respect for people who do that.
but shit happens.

took a quick pic, just ate some peanut butter, so i still have the spoon. mmmmmm

ohhh french music.
haha, sort of.
listen to other songs by Air. they're pretty good and calming. sometimes.
