Day 65

hello
i had a wonderfully unproductive day.
i worked, though, from 3-630. so i get paid $22!! woot woot!
i will buy a new shirt wi th that money. or i will save it, and then once i save enough, but it in a CD with high interest rate and then make billions!
mhm mhm.
sooooooooooooooooooo
i also tried to study today. from 9pm -1am.
i got distracted too much though.
:(
it's all for greek though.
ummm i have to do a presentation on euclid's 1.36 proposition.
Parallelograms which are on equal bases and in the same parallels equal one another.
boom!
how mind blowing is that?
i can't even fathom the idea!
i get to work with a partner though, and he's cool, and he probably understands it alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

jk, i do really understand it. it's geometreeeee
but i failed geometry.
want to know what i got first tri fresh year in geometry? really want to know? i actually don't care if people know now. i very well did get into college. a respectable college at that.

um i've decided ot make a countdown to thanksgiving on my dorm room wall next to my bed. i just need to get 20something sheets of paper. and some time to decorate them all!
i'll get some from the lib or something.
anyway, i'm goign to go now! byeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
look what i stumbled upon on youtube today:

Day 64

I didn't feel like writing a blog yesterdya, so i didn't.
i raced in the regatta yesterdya.
it was a lot of fun
i got so many more blisters, but that's gross...so i definitley won't take a photo of it.
hah
umm i sat around for a while. i actaully don't remember what i was going to do/did.
i watched 1/2 of the iowa game. and then at 5 i took a nap, which turned into sleeping until 1200, so i missed a lot of the halloween festivities, and since everyone had alraedy left the hall, i couldn't really figure out what was going on. :(
that's ok though. i slept some more after i messed around on the computer some.
my roommate's parents came by earlier in the day. it was alright.
yeah, i don't have much more to say.
tonight was really not that much fun, although i did catch up on sleep...but i didn't mean to, i just kept sleeping.
oh! i missed the a capella concert :(
i reallllllllly wanted to go, but i slept through it. gah.
ok
well i hope your halloween eve was fun! byez

i'm excited, but i have to wake up at 645
i should have gone to sleep muchhhhhhhhh earlier
umm i got to explore the old buildigns today like an hour ago
we found the staircase that leads to nowhere.

um we saw a lot of cool costumes. idk...
someone tried to make easy mac without water...our floor smelllls terrrrrrribleeeeeeee
terrible terrible
and someone also threw up on the 2nd floor, so the stairwell smells terrrrrrribleee
it's not a good night for anyone.

um i did other stuff
oh! jazz concert
they played this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqashW66D7o
it's soo good!
actually, i haven't listened to all of this video, it might be a bad vid, but prob not! it has 1mill views!
umm
it's parents weekend.
don't have much else to say.
6:45
kill me now? no! i want to live! i want to race tomorrow!
im hungry
oh! my roommate is staying in a hotel with her parents for hte night.
ummm
i don't have a picture.
oh wait, here's a picture of m y blister, i'm not sure why i'm showing this, but that it's gross ish and it's annoying me and i got it from rowing.
suckkkkk.
um classes were alright!
oh my midterm! it wasn't bad at all. i knew most of it, except where some papyrus rhind was found. i wrote turkey, but it's either iraq or iran.
psych quiz i got 100% which is good, because i can drop my two lowest quiz grades and all of my are 100% except for two where i missed 1 on each so it's 5/6 which is some percent. 84ish
whatever.
it won't change my grade that much.
hope halloween day 1 (sort of 2?) was fun for everyone else!
bubye.

Day 62

HEY!
I found out that i need to take calc over the summer at u of i...but i want to take an intensive calc like they offer here which is calc 1 and 2 combined (basically calc bc), but i don't think u of i offers it over the summer...and i also have to get department consent at hc...
anyway,
i have a midterm tomorrow at 9.
i don't know how i'll do on it.
i have to remember how to complete the square to get the quadratic equation...
and the fuckers outside are yelling.
ummm crew was alright. i still don't know if i'm rowing this weekend, but now there's a race next weekend that i could go to if i'm not going this weekend.
i didn't go to work. i don't know if someone took my shift either.
i hope someone did, then i don't have to make it up later...and not get the bonus at the end of the semester.
i really don't remember what i did today at all!
that's probalby because i woke up at 1230 ish...
um oh!
today was apple day at the dining hall!
there was apple crisp and apple bread pudding and hot apple cider and apples and caramel apples! and ice cream! and it was delicious! i had some of everything and i brought back 6 apples...hah, but they look delicious! i'm going to eat one now...
umm oh! i also made a pudding graveyard!
look:

the milano cookies are grave stones, the cool whip are ghost (with choco chip eyes) the dirt is pudding and smashed oreos, and the pumpkins are pumpkins in a grave yard but they're candy corn and the spoon i used to eat it!
it was delicious but wayyyyyyyyy too much :(
i offered it to other people and they didn't want it. one girl had some though.
only my hall made them. my section of the hall, so 1/2 of the hall.
done!
should sleep, but i don't want to. ehhhhhhhh

Day 61

Heyo bloggg worlddddddddddddd!

um, not much eventful today, per usual.
i had a meeting with my academic advisor.
it was interesting. i've always had problems talking to people with authority.
probably started in 7th grade when i used to talk ALL the time in my classes.
i used to get in so much trouble.
i was forced to move in my geography class 4 times.
so one time my teacher just got really mad with me and made me stay afterclass to talk to her. she made me almost cry, and i'm pretty sure that since then (and because of that?), i haven't been able to talk to authority figures that well. my face always forms a frown type thing that i can't stop! my face muscles are too strong...lol?
anyway, some insight to my jr high years.
hmm yeah after that i just didn't talk in my classes ever again. i didn't want to get in trouble/ yelled (but it wasn't yelling, it was stern talking to i guess?) at again...
anyway, when i went to go see my academic advisor, the first thing she asked me was how are you doing?
and my immediate response was "alright." i didn't really think about it, i just always say alright whenever people ask me that question...
after that she just asked "why not great?" "what's wrong" "are you having problems?"
and i said "what do you mean?" and i started to form the frown thing that i can't stop! it's odd...
and then she said  " do you regret coming to hc?" "are you wishing you were somewhere else?"
and i said "ohhh, definitetly not"
and she was relieved and the frown thing stopped somehow.
hmm then we talked about classes some, and she ended up telling me to email the head of the economics department to figure out what class i should take.  (the head emailed me back and told me statistics ! fuck! and asked if i'm in calc right now...i have to say no...but i haven't replied yet since it's 1am.)

um then i left shortly after. i still don't really like my ac advisor. the person before me went over by 11-12 minutes!
hmm then i don't remember doing much. i think i did work. i went to a review session at 9, it was only an hour it turned out. it was really pointless, but it did make me feel better because i knew everything he said.

umm. oh!!! i watched phineas and ferb today! and somehow phin and ferb get stuck on an island. and doof is there. i only watched it for a few minutes but it had all the classic lines in those few minutes!
phin said "i know what we're going to do today!" but i don't remember what it was :( i think it was figure out how to get off the island.
and then doof is walking around with a leaf attacted to a stick to be a magnetic thing you use to search for metal stuff in the sand  ( i can't htink of the word for it) and then he comes across perry, but perry doens't have his hat on and doof says "a platypus?" and then perry takes his head out of the sand and grabs his hat and a crab walks out of it and he puts his hat on and then doof says  "perry? perry the platypus?" and then he says something like "even though we're on a deserted island doesn't mean we should change anything" and perry is tied to a stick by rope. and doof says "i am supreme ruler of the tri coconut area" and then he points out his "de-evoluntion-inator" and it was a huge fish bone like a statue and some crabs worship it. and thennnn someone came intot he room and i turned it off...
and i just searched the episode, here it is:
http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/Phineas_and_Ferb_Hawaiian_Vacation

ummm then some other stuff happened, i don't remember.
then around 1030 a group of us just sat in the social room and talked until around 1245. it was actually a lot of fun. i learned some people do watch phin and ferb.. haha.
and i showed the wagon wheel and pon de floor...not sure why...
um it was fun!
i'm pretty sure there was something else i really wanted to write in this blog, but i don't remember it at all. and i'll just have to settle for this.

umm here's some music for your entertainment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450&feature=related
it's so fantastic! twice today i was about to stand up and go do something around 5:30 in the video, but i couldn't! it's just too good!
ummm here's another song
oh wait, nevermind i closed the tab.
well, if you want a shit song...check out "143" it's going to be on the radio pretty soon too, i bet.

oh i remember the other thing!
my dad called today! and the first thing he asked was "how are you doing?" and i, as i usually do, said "alright" and he, just like my advisor, said "not great?"
it was so weirddd...
and i don't know what i'm doing for thanksgiving break. most likely go to bro's since he's not going home (most likely) for thanksgiving because he has a debate tournament the weekend before? and because he's goign home this weekend? he misses his girlfriend i think... :( tmi? idk...
i shouldn't talk about my family here... it's weird.
anyway, i'm suppose to check out flight info and also talk to rob, but i don't want to talk to rob, i want my parents to...
odd. ok
well have a good night! and a good day! bye!

ohhh! i remember more! so i watched the news today (side note: the news is sooo good! interesting!) and there's this vid where people claim that someone time traveled back to a charlie chaplin film and used a cell phone...
here's the vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj3qesTjOE8
but it doesn't make sense, because there wouldn't be cell reception. right?

Day 60

Wooooo new day!

I woke up for breakfast and watched the today show again. taylor swift was on.
um then i tried to go to sleep, but looked at courses for next semester.
i'm also done deciding.
to fulfill my lit requirement i think i'm going to take ummmmm i can't htink of it now
oh! mythology!
it should be kind of cool, i liked it when we read it in ap english.
anyway, the day was uneventful again.
i went to rowing and we rowed all 8 most of the time.
and we got all of our oars off the water until the next stroke a few times too! we're getting better at balancing the boat!
yeah,
so here's a picture of me:
there really is no point to this photo, i just haven't taken one in a while, so i did today. i'm wearing my girl talk shirt.  i worked out in it...which means i haven't changed clothes...... whatever. it wasn't bad out...

i can't undo this font after i made the caption right now...but today was nice! it was in the 70s unlike all of last week . 
my roommate made some terrible food for dinner and the room smells! i don't think she goes to the dining hall often...

hmm. i don't really have a song either. 
i'll look for one

psh...it's kind of annoying, and not good...but whatever. i wouldn't be surprised to hear it on the radio in the next few months. or weeks. idk...

Day 59 - make the skunks stop stinking!

TOday was awesome.
I actually thought of something cool to write, but i forgot it...

breakfast was good! except, the fruit wasn't ripe. and i wasn't in the mood for an omelet, but i got one anyway.
i went to classes and i wasn't tired! in greek, i messed up my quiz pretty bad. :(
i worked from 1-430 or 5! it was really rewarding. i watched ellen, oprah a little, maury show, grey's anatomy, pawn stars... it was pretty good.
lunch was decent. i got a cheese quesadilla.
i haven't had meat in a week and some days. i don't like the meat here at all. it's clearly not good for you. it's processed (can meat be processed?), it's fried, it's overcooked, the animals are treated poorly.
anyway, i don't think i'll eat the meat here. i'll go vegetarian for a while, but it won't last.
i'll cave when i get back to iowa city, or when i go out to dinner to a nice restaurant and want lamb or duck or some meat. and those animals are usually treated nicely! on farms!  not veal though...

hmm, i took a nap today! it was great, but i woke up 5 minutes before work, so i ran there. i met with my psychology group for some homework. we did a survey of 2males, 2 females per person. we found out that on average, most males and females look for the same in the opposite sex (attractive, humor/personality, something else i forgot), and that both m/f think that miscommunication is common. AND if a male became a girl for a day, he would want to do sterotypical female things (shopping...) and talk to other girls whereas if girl became guy she would want to play sports without a shirt on and talk to other guys.

um, time to go to sleep! i need to wake up at 720 for breakfast, but i don't have class until 2 pm...
i  need to pick classes for next semester and edit a paper. i edited the paper yesterday and printed it, but today another girl edited the old version and she wants to use hers but i don't want to use something i haven't read, so i'm going to read it...but it's annoying because she didn't go to museum with us and she didn't work on the paper, so her editing is probably not done well...

anddddddddd I want the fucking skunks on campus to stop smelling! it's terrible!

and i don't have a song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSgRepeW5FE
my roommate just mentioned this song, and i said i hadn't heard it before, but i have!
...
