Registration

Hey,

I'm really anxious about registration. I don't want the classes or times I want to fill up. I'm excited for my classes next year except for the fact I have to take a science class.

What I hope to take:

Meteorology
Portuguese 3001
Spanish Literature
French 1003
Introduction to Interpreting

I found out today that I can get an interpreting certificate. This makes me incredibly happy. I love how things can change so much in a day.

In other news, I probably won't blog much if at all if you haven't gotton that vibe. If you care about what's going on in my life you can just ask. That sounds better anyways.

Have a beautiful day.

Busy Wednesday

Hello,

Today is stressful because I have more plans than I have time. I also dread finishing my Freshman Writing paper. I dislike that class so strongly it hurts.

My planned schedule for today:

10-12: Work on Freshman Writing Paper
12-2: Lunch with Branden, Kevin, and Sean
2:30-3:20: Creative Writing Lecture
3:30-5: Venezuela Orientation
5-5:30: Dinner
~5:45-?: Wait in line for Avenue Q tickets
8-10?: Avenue Q


I have lots more to say, but it's from a while ago so I'll just skip it. All you should know is that Owen Pallett is amazing and you should see him in concert!

Swearing Seems Eloquent

First of all, hello sore muscles. I'm definately back to the gym and back to being active. Yesterday I walked around downtown for a while, played 3 1/2 hours of badminton, and lifted weights for 1/2 hour. It was really really wonderful.

Second of all, I don't understand people. The ridiculous ones both entertain me and make me angry. Specifically those that think they are better or know more than EVERYONE else. I can't help but laugh out loud when a really disgustingly ignorant comment comes out of his mouth. He probably thinks I'm jealous of whatever awesomeness he thinks he has...but oh no dear sweet anything of everything that is good and decent I am not jealous...not at all. And please don't say "I don't think New York is for me" one day with that rich snob slurring and exaggerating of your sssspeeCH and then the next day act like it's the most beautiful place in the world and you know everything of anything that is everyone. You are definately a pretentious prick who deserves a bitch slap to the face. Mmm it would be delicious to actually say these types of things to people (or 2 persons)...but I have a feeling it wouldn't make a difference so I won't.

Third of all, leftover Chinese food could easily be debated as being wayyy better than fresh Chinese food. On this topic (relating to the fact I had Chinese food last night contatining shrimp) I also don't hate shrimp anymore. I'm slowly removing that idea from my head because I haven't been grossed out by shrimp in a long time. The texture is still gross to me, but the flavor is enough to make up for it. Oysters...still gross.

Fourthly, I am helping the planet by creating No Meat Monday for myself, as well as having red meat no more than once a week. Chicken and Fish will never be removed from my diet permanently so just get that idea out of your head.

Other random news is that today is going to be a productive day. Just flat out saying I'm in a perfectly decent mood, feel refreshed (but sore) from exercising, and have plenty to do. The weather is perfect to stop this daydreaming that I have been doing and move on to homework.

Though I wish yesterday could be put on repeat for a while because it was so fucking fantastic, I understand that I will have to take today on with some amount of happiness and enjoy it.

On that note. If you have any other emotion that is anything other than awesomeness snap out of it.

So now I will say goodbye and have a nice day. :)

Daydreaming in the Rain

My mind is distracted still. I need my weekend. I need it so bad. Actually I just need for classes to be done and to just enjoy my free time some more. Last week was far too much fun and now I feel trapped with work to do.

I really do love this rainy weather. Except it makes me lazy and causes me to daydream a lot. I've had someone on my mind far too much and I need it to stop.

Maybe I'll shut my window and smother myself in homework. I really just need someone to walk into my room, slap me across the face, and then leave.

Today in Spanish we listened to a song that was about working all week and then earning your weekend. I don't think I have deserved a weekend in a while based on the minimal work I put into the week. Perhaps I'll earn this one.

Dead Sea Scrolls, Como Zoo, Owen Pallett concert, plus other random events. That's what I have to look forward to.

Week of Awesomeness to Week of Work

Hello,

My mind is so cluttered it's hard to move. If you can imagine just stacks and stacks of stuff piled up and flying all around my head...that's what my mind is like right now. I will work on getting those things organized this week.

I had a crazy epic week last week. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love the city and how certain I am that I'll live in a huge city for the rest of my life. Also, my friends here are so absolutely amazing. I'm glad that everything has worked out the way it has.

41 days until I am on a plane to Venezuela. It's both unbelieveable and awesome.

I really love Sundays now. It seems like it's kind of assumed that pretty much every Sunday Alejandro and I are going to hang out. Yesterday I watched 2 of his soccer games and talked with some of his family. Then we just drove around St. Paul and Minneapolis. It's an entire day of speaking Spanish and it has improved my Spanish an incredible amount.

I didn't get any sleep this weekend except for 9 hours last night, but the morning still felt like a sleep hangover due to my odd sleep schedule Friday and Saturday. One of the highlights of the weekend was playing night games like Sardines and Tag outside and then later on the 10th-13th floors of Middlebrook with Ian, Andrew, Kevin, Branden, and Mike.

I heard some good poetry on Saturday too. The crowd was a little stereotypical, but I guess they aren't as bad as the theater crowd so I'll accept it. I enjoyed the event more than I thought I would so that's nice.

I've discovered my ideal studying location and that is in the Hennepin County Library in downtown Minneapolis. I'll be studying there today after eatting in Middlebrook and before going to the gym.

That's right...I'm back at the gym. I'll move on from my laziness and start going to the gym more. Even though I have been playing badminton a lot more and with Kevin & Branden that gets pretty intense.

I've been watching Pan's Labyrinth and Inglourious Basterds a lot lately. I'm positive those two movies are in my top 5 favorite movie list. Plus one is in Spanish and the other has French in it. Perfect for me.

This week has to be another "Good Student Week" due to the fact that last week was just pure fun. I have so much to do it's really just sucky, but whatever. Starting Friday it's back to awesomeness for a while.

So...yeah...there you go.

Sunny with a Chance of it Being a Classic Thursday

Hey.

Today has all the potential to be an excellent day, but I realized today that nice weather and school together triggers some terrible memories. For some reason sitting in class made me think of 9th grade Algebra and I had some stressful memories come back. Then I thought of Chemistry and some other classes I found stressful.

I didn't have Spanish today. We watched a movie in French. All I have for Freshman Writing is a 15 minute conference at 2. Then Creative Writing at 6:20. It sounds excellent. Branden and I were planning on going to the Walker...I think that is still happening...or I hope so.

I also got some bad news this morning. I don't really want to talk about it yet because in my mind it isn't official. Of course it would happen on a sunny Thursday.

My weekend hasn't really ended yet...and I don't think it will until next Tuesday.

I can't wait for rain and thunderstorms this weekend even though I enjoy these nice temperatures.
