I am trying to look like Carrie while I write, so here I sit with my martini glass...filled with Cheerios.

Today is Monday. I dislike Mondays. Today there is snow on the ground. I dislike snow. Did you know that today is supposedly the most depressing day of the year according to some researcher dude? Well, it is. Am I depressed...I don't think so. But I do highly dislike snowy Mondays. Life could be worse though. I can't complain.
Yesterday I watched the Food Network with the roomies for about 3 or 4 hours. Giada was on twice. She is too happy, too skinny, and too Italian. I don't understand how she can sit and make chocolate cakes and popcorn with butter and two types of cheese and still look like a bathing suit model. Obviously, she doesn't eat her own food. And that, my friends, ticks me off. I choose the chubby cooks- Rachael Ray and Nigella. Oh...and there was some guy on there cooking for a tailgate party. He used 3 beers in his chili. That's my kind of cooking!
Today, I had a very feminism filled afternoon. I had my women and philosophy class, and we talked about shoes that really hurt our feet and makeup. My professor made a good point that we should be able to walk around without makeup on and in shoes that don't scar our feet for life or make our lil pinky toe cry. But I don't know. Frankly I like makeup. Can I tell you why I wear it? No. Do I think I look bad without it? No. So, I'm thinking maybe I could try to live without makeup, but I don't know. Then...the shoes. I LOVE MY FIERCE SHOES! Can I give them up? I have been having major feet pain after wearing them. Last weekend I wore them on Friday, and when I played basketball on Sunday, my feet were having some major problems. One day my feet could be permanently harmed from the shoes, but I really love them! Once again, there is no reason to wear them. Guys don't look at them and think they are cute. Guys don't give a crap what's on my feet. So, why do I wear them? I don't know. My fierce shoes and I must have a heart to heart. Then, I proceed to go onto facebook. I see that a few of my guy friends have joined the group called "Men." I decide to check out this group. All this gay ass group is, is a bunch of stupid macho men who complain about women. I started reading some of the discussions of the group, and I was purely offended. Men talked about how women should push out babies, make them a sandwich, and clean. They said women were inferior and less intelligent. One also commented that women should just be tied up and used as sex slaves. I was ready to flip out!!! I don't care if it's a joke or not, you should not be saying those things. Sometimes I think we get so far in society, but then I realize we haven't really jumped too many hurdles. My professor gave us a really shocking fact today. Let's say that civilization has been around for 10,000 years. If this is the case, women have only had the rights that men have had for .03% of that time. That is crazy!!! But...H. Clinton has announced her run for presidency in 2008! How exciting. Actually, a woman ran for president in the 60s or 70s, but she will be overshadowed by Clinton. I don't really care...I just care that women are starting to represent. Thank goodness.
So, I actually went and worked out today. I know, can you believe it?! I'm trying this eating better and working out thing. We'll see how this goes. This is, however, compliments of my biology professor who has me scared to death of trans fat. Goodness gracious.
I think this is all for this entry. This will a fully packed week with three exams and the boyfriend's birthday! :)

And then someone was screaming Spanish...

Wow this weekend was absolutely loads of craziness. However, it was quite exciting to see my friends finally get their butts up here. K, M, and T were the brave people to drive the 4 hours to UD. I haven't had that many laughs in a long time. It was so much fun to just joke around. And there was nothing to hide or change about myself because those guys know the best of me and the worst of me. They basically know everything there is to know about me. So, we got to just relax and goof off.
R was being his usual pushy wiener self. I got really sick of seeing fraternity guys, but I guess that happens. At least M understood my frustration with him. Everyone really liked UD. What can I say; UD is different from any other university I've ever gone to. T thought he was in Pleasantville because everything was so pretty and clean and the people here were so happy and nice. K loved it too. It was nice to finally have people from home really understand and realize where R and I go to school and why we go here and why we love it so freaking much.
Anyhow, M filled up basically 2 pages of hilarious quotes from the weekend. Everything was really fun and funny all the time. I also figured out that I can speak Spanish pretty fluently when I want to.
I also am so grateful for my roommates' patience this weekend. My friends pretty much took over, but everyone was so cool about it. I was kinda freaking out before my friends came because I wanted it to go smoothly but still have fun. I think it went well, besides a couple quirks. It was nice to just let loose for 2 days.
Tomorrow we have off of classes. I am so happy we have another day to relax. I love long weekends. I wish my entire life was a big, long weekend.

"You have four years to be irresponsible here. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember the times you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does." -Tom Petty

Erre con Erre Cigarro...

I'm trying to teach myself how to roll my R's for my trip to Spain in 6 months. Lovely! It's Thursday...which means a new Grey's is on tonight, friends come tomorrow, and a long weekend! :) Yessss!!!! This was the first full week of classes, and it has exhausted me a ton. Stuff is going good though. I never realized how much less of a load 15 credits is compared to the 18 I had last semester. This is amazing to have extra time!
So, P and A shared a great website with me today. It is http://www.stuffonmycat.com/. It's amazing. I selected some pictures from the website that are my favorites so far. There are so many good ones. I love cats. I can't help it.

Work is sucking pretty bad though. I call to schedule interviews. People think I'm a telemarketer and they hang up on me. I feel so annoying calling, and no one wants to get hung up on. Oh well I guess. I think I might have to go back to my cafeteria job. How bad does that suck!

I have been pretty crafty lately though. I made myself and nice quote wall and now Julie and I are making my big UD Basketball t-shirt into a cool halter for me to wear. Hopefully it works out well. Then I'll actually have a UD shirt to wear to basketball games.

Well, T minus 15 minutes until Grey's as I'm finishing this up. I cannot wait for this freakin weekend...I'ma have me some fun. Haha. Oh R. Kelly.

I still need to see Les Miserables on stage. Dang it.

“The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.” -Les Miserables

The length of Stupid Boy is 6:16 and that makes me happy...

Today I have been so unproductive it sickens me. You know, UD just sets up our lives to be miserable, but at the same time, quite happy. For instance, no one wanted to come back because we come back so freaking early. On the other hand, we start classes on Wednesday which means this weekend is strictly for going out and having fun because we don't have much homework. Dayton, how you torture me.
Anyhow, last night was quite fun. All I can say is the room next year will be very interesting and fun. Oh, and R had my fierce shoes on. :) Yay! And last night it was 55 degrees. Which means it was January and I did not wear a jacket. That made me so incredibly happy!!!!
So, I finally made up my freaking mind and paid my money and filled out my application to go to Spain this summer. I will be gone from the middle of June to the middle of July. It will be so exciting and interesting. I am going to die trying to communicate though. I guess it will be a good life experience. I'm sure I'll come home with some good stories. And I'm sure I'll accidentally say some funny things in Spanish. Oh my. I am really looking forward to it now that I finally am definitely going.
Well...that's it for now. What a long weekend with nothing to do.

"Sometimes I get the urge to run around naked, but then I drink some Windex and it keeps me from streaking."

At least BLOG and BIOLOGY have 3 letters in common...

So, I have Bio homework. And I'm blogging instead. Haha. I think UD brought me back too soon because I am feeling very unproductive because I don't want to be doing even more work. It feels like finals week was barely yesterday, and here I am getting ready to start yet another challenging semester. Today was the first day of classes. I had three and at least 2 of the 3 seem like they will be enjoyable. I have 3 different chapters to read and a study guide to do already. I love college work.
Oh, and today I was looking up stuff about law school. I think law school will be completely excruciatingly hard. Goodness. What am I even getting myself into? Oh well...hopefully my life will be worth it.
It feels good to be back with my friends here at Dayton. I loooove them so much!!!!
Ok...that's it for now I suppose. No excitement. We are playing Disney Scene It tonight. I'm going to kick some UD BOO-TAY! Haha! Dinner tonite was yucky by the way. Damn meatloaf on the first night back. What are the food people even thinking?!

YESSSSSSS MOM PICKED ME TO TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE!

Happy New Year! 2007! We had an interestingly fun night. We had our first real party. Joey decided to drink too much Captain. And the Captain went sailing in the ocean that was my Gram's toilet, floor, and garbage. Overall, it went well. I had fun and I think everyone else did. It was nice to see friends and hang out with everyone. My break is over after today. I head back to UD tomorrow. Although this break has been short, it has been good for me, and I'm ready to come home. Home being UD. My best friends are there and some giant. This semester should be better than the last one since I won't have as many credits. I actually have my future figured out now which makes me very excited! I hate floating and not really knowing what's going on. Now, I have direction and a goal to work towards. And that makes me happy.
Tonight I got to pick my last supper, and I picked some good Lebanese food. Good choice I have to say. My family makes me happy, and I'm sad to leave them.
Well this one is short, but I have lots to do and I have so much energy that I must annoy the people I love the most.

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." -When Harry Met Sally
