Dear Facebook,

 Charlie is quite rude, just like that apple.
 


It’s that time of year again
August 19, 2009, 2:53 am

As I sit here staring down some yummy looking pretzels an interesting thought comes to mind:


what a bittersweet word to be uttered during these last dog days of summer. It starts in roughly a week- yikes!- and although I’m ready for it, I’m kinda not.

School means military-like schedule, with my life planned out to the last minute. BUT It also means friends! And Cru! And other important things.. like learning… Anyways-I’m super excited to get to see all of my friends again. A couple of them are already in town but busy with recruitment week for their sororities. The rest are trickling back into town as time passes. No joke, it has been so weird to see how this tiny town of about 50,000 (including the 24,000 students) has been growing day by day. More people out for runs, at WalMart, etc.

Even though the thought of homework seemed daunting, it’s that time again. Time to think in Spanglish again. Time to make flash cards till they come out my ears (again). Time to get back to real life (not summer camp land)

Here’s a quick wrap up of my summer: 
Inconceivable… To be Moved in!
August 9, 2009, 7:29 pm

Oh, it is so nice to be all moved in to my new apartment! Since things are still a bit lonely around here and I woke up a bit earlier than hoped, I decided that it was a good time to watch a movie. After looking through the box of DVDs and VHS tapes, Princess Bride was an obvious choice. When the movie is just about finished it will be time for church… which makes this movie a perfect choice because I don’t need to finish it- I already know what happens!

This just happens to be my motto for movies during the school year weekdays. I need to know what happens in the movie so that I won’t be bothered if I have to get up and leave during the middle of it. I’m not going to give up movies just because my schedule is craaaazy.

Speaking of crazy, there is no internet in the apartment yet. Boo. A trip to the library this afternoon is on my agenda so that I can post this message. Is it sad that I already miss my email after just one day?


No Joke, this Post is Boring… because it’s Friday.

Today has been an eventful day.  Very eventful.

Oh, I just saw an ad for Nick and Norah’s Endless Play List. DO NOT SEE THAT MOVIE. It’s a complete waste of time/money. Juvenile, lack of a well developed plot, etc. Oh and don’t waste your time/money on Charlie Bartlett.

Ok one more funny thing before I sign off and go to bed: My conversation class got moved to a different building today. We were all waiting outside for our prof. and another one of classmates comes through the doors. He looks like he’s seen a ghost. He said, “what are you all doing here” we explained that class was here today. apparently he was planning on skipping class today (since he’s in a different section I think is what he said…) I just thought it was funny how he ended up running into his class he was trying to avoid.

And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a cute little claymation vid about el Valle de la Luna:


Study Break
January 21, 2009, 2:21 am

Blah, blah, blah. Homework is going to be an issue this semester. I can see it now. No more naps. No more being social during the week. Etc.

For speech we had to come up with some possible speech topics under different categories. When I got to the “Hobbies/Trips/Leisure Activities” portion all I could come up with was watching movies, going to study table, and making cards (which I don’t even do while at college!) After talking with the roomie we decided that we have no life. “Student Athlete” pretty much describes my life.

Ok, funny story. In my speech class on the first day of class we did an activity to see what kind of people we had in our class,  you know, conservative/ liberal, military, age, residence, etc. We came to the question of if you like sports or not. I ended up being the farthest to the “doesn’t like sports” side (even though I was standing just a bit past the middle of the room… Anyway, my TA then asks “Oh, since we’re on the subject, who are our student athletes in here?” Haha, ME! Show’s you what dedication I have to the sports realm…

Actually I love my sport. I just don’t care much for watching other sports. And since we’re talking about watching stuff… I think that you should watch the All American Rejects “Gives You Hell” music video. It’s pretty cute.
