~~~~ Calm

I have my academic adivisng meeting in t-minus 35 minutes. Woo-hoo I'm uber excited, can't you tell? I mean, I just want to register for my classes, know what I'll take and leave it at that. That'd be nice. But noooo, we have to sit down and talk about our 'goals'. Screw goals. I discussed them with the head of the Anthropology department and I know I got farther with her then I would with any chick who lives in my dorm. My dream schedule for next semester?
Well, here it is:
Archeological Anthropology 212
Biological Anthropology 255
Arabic 101
Geology 111
Geology Lab 115
Classic Greece 101

Oh, my idea of a good time! Of course I have some alternatives but we won't talk about those, they aren't good enough for me ;)

I have a three day weekend this week. My english class was cancelled and I have no other classes Frieday. Tomorrow I plan to walk to the Planned Parenthood, I only have two weeks left on my pill pack, and maybe do some other stuff alone. I was gonna head over to Kroger and get that freeze medicine because I had some creepy skin tag on my neck but I ripped it off today(disgusting, I know) so I guess I don't have to worry about that, oh well! Shit, maybe I can't do that tomorrow, Lindsay has to convert all my change to cash before I can go and pay. Maybe I'll just go in and talk to them tomorrow. See if I need my files transferred from Wooster or if I need to entirely start over, you know, get the 411. I hate going to Planned Parenthood. They're always so nice but in a "poor girl's gonna be pregnant by 20" way. Ummm, I haven't had sex in a year, I just take the pill to control my killer cramps! I swear! Oh well, I guess I'm the exception other then the rule in this scenerio. *sigh* I hate this, why can't the online birth control be legitimate? Oh well, I just have to swallow my pride and go check it out. Maybe I should write a check to the bursars office and use that cash. My parents just put $60 into my checking account. I'll take $40 out for tomorrow. That'll get me two packs, or an appointment and a pack. Or if the prices are different down here, maybe more! *cheers* Money's a bitch, I hate it!

t-minus 20 minutes...

For Good - Wicked

~~~~ Artistic

In honor of the bestest friend in the world, Chanda:

I'm limited: Just look at me - I'm limited And just look at you - You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you For both of us Now it's up to you: I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you: Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend: Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you: Because I knew you: I have been changed for good And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for But then, I guess we know There's blame to share And none of it seems to matter anymore Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown From orbit as it Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like By a wind off the A stream that meets Sea, like a seed A boulder, half-way Dropped by a Through the wood Bird in the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better? And because I knew you: Because I knew you: Because I knew you: I have been changed for good.

The Weekend's Over

~~~~ Frustrated

I'm not really sure what's wrong. I think I'm more of a gossip then I've ever let on before and sometimes the way I gossip is different then the way the quirky quad gossips. Stephanie will be my kind of gossip sometimes then she'll defend people we gossip about a few minutes later. Now I'm not sure when it's okay to reveal things to her and when it isn't. I've always just had some problems with Lindsay. I think our personalities are so much alike that we don't get along every once in a while. She isn't willing to believe that I have a legitimate religion. She's constantly saying things like "we are all god's children". Um, okay, I'm NOT your god's child. And she's always like "well, I think you are, so that's what I'll say." Hmmm, so are you saying my religion isn't worth shit and I should be categorized under your religion to save me? Fuck off! That's not cool. And normally I don't have any problems with Becca but tonight she went off because we were interrupting her tv show. Wow, it's just a television show, and it's Desperate Housewives at that! It's like against the law to speak for the entire hour Gilmore Girls or Desperate Housewives is on. Goodness Gracious it's just a fucking tv show!!!

Don't get me wrong though. They're really great and I think I have the best friends here I could have possibly asked for. But, they aren't the ones I'm use to from home and that does stink. I miss Chanda and Garrett and Billy and Wally and Bryce and Megan and everyone else that I knew at home. It isn't the same and I really wish I had some guy friends here. I'm really thankful I have Tom. I don't think I could handle all these females if it wasn't for the fact I'm constantly getting phone calls from Tom. I truly know now that I love him and I can easily see myself marrying him someday. Absence really makes the heart grow fonder.

Random Fruit?

~~~~ Silly

It's a no-no and I like it? Oh goodness, this Gunther kid is strange. Right now, Bonkers, Looney, and I are watching some music videos on the internet by Gunther. One of the song's all about touching his tra-la-la, his ding-dang-dong. Ummm, pause for awkward silence.

**********************************

Anywhoo, Tom's present came today. I went to pick it up at Wells and now it's sitting all packaged up waiting for me to mail it to him. I'll tell you what it is after I'm sure he's gotten it. I slept until 1 today. Well, that's a lie. First I went to class from 9 to 10 and then I went to bed until 1. Tonight we're going to see Bewitched at Shriver then we're taking the bus to Taco Bell. I think that's all we're really doing. I'm not sure, we've thrown a couple ideas around but we probably won't do them. Tomorrow we might go to Houston Woods and shoot bows and arrows but I'm not sure how we'll get there. I'll talk to Denise, she's the bestes RA ever. I heart Denise.

Things Are Going Well

~~~~ Contemplative

I don't know why but I thought I'd just get that out. Things are going well. I think it's because I was worried yesterday that things were going badly that now I know they aren't I just want to proclaim it to the world. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong but I just felt kinda stressed and not too happy but I'm much better now. Everything got worked out and I feel like I've grown from my experiences.

I haven't been feeling too great today unfortunatley. I'm still just feeling kinda sick and yucky and then, to make matters worse, I was stupid enough to stay up until 2:30 last night and I only got 5 and a half hours of sleep. I took a nap today from 10 to noon but I still feel kinda not so good. I'm hoping to get all my homework done tonight then I can get my laundry done tomorrow and relax. I have my Dem meeting tonight at 6:30 and LOST'S SEASON PREMIERE IS TONIGHT AT 9!!! After that though, it's bed for me. I hope to get my Anthropology and Environmental Bio done before Dems then I have about an hour a half to do my Italian, English, IDS, and take a shower. Not gonna happen but I'll figure something out. Just take it one step at a time. You'll get everything you need to get done eventually, you may just not get into bed at 10:30 like you were hoping. 10:30, what a fools dream!

My First Sick Day

~~~~ Sick

Today is the first day I've been sick here at college. I'm pretty sure I just have a cold but I still don't like being sick. I decided to stay home so I didn't have to deal with my normal sick for weeks on end deal. I actually feel a lot better now and I think I made the right choice staying home. I really should start thinking of homework no though because I have a lot to do. Let's see, in the order of what I need to get done, it goes like this:

Anthropology: Read Chapter Environmental Biology: Read Chapter Italian: Do Exercises English: Blackboard Discussion IDS: Read chapter & journal for this week and do one for next week too. Also, write journal about meditating.

I need to write everything out and then it all makes so much sense. Today's Tom's brithday. He's the big 19. That means in 2 months and 10 days I'll be 19 too. In 14 days Sean's coming down to Miami to visit, in 19 days my parents will be down here and in 26 days Tom will come down for his visit. October should be a very good month. I think I'll put off my homework until after dinner. I don't have anything to do after classes today except for a Shriver run so I'll do that and have supper too. Then I'll come back, finish my homework, and make an early night. I don't think I've been getting enough sleep and that's half my problem with getting sick. My immunity is way low and I can't handle it. I'm kinda looking forward to classes tomorrow, I haven't been out of the dorm for extended periods of time for quite some time now.

I think our trip to DC is a bust. It's become too much of a hassle and I don't think the Miami Dems are really going as a group anymore. It sucks but it was becomming too much work. Oh well, I tried.

Grrr to Life!

~~~~ Tired

This has just been a crazy weekend. We had a first major conflict as the Quirky Quad. Luckily, that's been resolved with minimum impact. Resolved with Coldstone on top of that so everything's splendid now! We actually had a pretty good night last night. We watched Ellen DeGeneras stand up comedy and If These Walls Could Talk 2. It was a very Ellen night. Steff's friend Amy came down from BG and we showed her all the highlights of campus. We showed her the arch around midnight and there were three or four couples just kind wandering around waiting for midnight. The old myth goes if you kiss someone under the arch at midnight you'll be destined to be with them forever. Seeing all these couples that much in love made me miss Tom a lot. His birthday's in two days and I won't even be there to celebrate it with him. The first time since we got together!

At one in the morning we went to our traditional breakfast (okay, so this is like the fifth time we've done it but still). On the way back we saw an ambulence pull into our dorm room. We ran back to see what was going on and it turns out my neighbor got taken away for alcohol poisoning. Let's hear it for college. I think she needed to get stomach pumped but she's back now and I think everything's okay. I just hope they have enough common sense not to party anymore. They probably don't though. I can't believe you can have the grades to get in here but lack so much common sense. Oh well, at least I know I'll never be in that position. Well, I guess I can't say that, getting drunk and getting alcohol poisoning are two completely different things. But I guess since I can't get drunk I don't drink as much thus reducing my risk of getting alcohol poisoning. Thank you genetics, you're saving my life.

Tomorrow we're heading to Hamilton for a little adventure. Tom needs a birthday/anniversary present too. I should do my homework now then. We'll be out all day tomorrow so I'll have no time to do it then. Tonight we're watching Interview With a Vampire and Monthy Python and the Meaning of Life. Pizza is on the menu as well.

I heart my friends, not flannel sheets!
