This was a pretty good weekend. Step practice is going good and its fun, I had that on Friday and then I just chilled, it was pretty boring night. Saturday was better though. After practice it was the black history month closing bbq and it was fun, even though the food was kinda nasty, but it was alright. There was double dutch, spades, and other games and stuff, and I got a few t-shirts that are pretty cool too. Later that night I hung out with a few people and watched Friday and played some cards and stuff until 3, it was fun. But you know who is always there to be a huge debbie downer. She got pissed about cheating when we were playing cards, like she was really getting upset, it was so stupid. We were just having fun, but no she always has to take everything so effing seriously and its highly annoying. But I'm not talking about this anymore, I already vented about it through other means so I'm alright.
I got my two exams this week, they should go alright hopefully. For accounting we got the first 25 question to take home and do, so we only have 50 more on Tuesday so thats nice. I just need to study for biology on Thursday and I should be good.
I finished The Mirror Effect and started The Last Day of My Life, so I'm pretty happy. That is a short one so once I finish that I can start my new Dean Koontz book I got for Christmas.
Hopefully I'll be able to go to Washington for Spring Break, I don't know though because the flights are so full, but I'm going to try. I need to see people! I also need to get a fresh line-up.

Quickly
The weeks are going by so quick these days. Last week went by really fast, and so is this one; its already Thursday! Things are going good. There was a BSU meeting today, well yesterday technically, and it was good. After part I of that workshop they are starting to do better with everything. Some people on BSU even started a step team, I'm bout to join. Thursdays they work out at the field house, so thats a good excuse to force myself to exercise, and then Friday and Saturday they have step practice at this one guy's lobby of his dorm. It should be pretty cool, they might ask if I've ever done anything like it before and I can tell them about Mysterious Kutz from Stadium, haha, maybe I can even show them our youtube videos. Saturday is a BBQ, free food so of course I'm going, free t-shirts also! It should be fun, there is going to be music, games (spades), and even double dutch! Also, for us loyal members, they are taking us down to Scottsdale on some Saturday in the end of April for an end of the year trip. We will be going to Dave & Buster's and eating lunch and playing games, it should be fun, I ain't played ddr in years! The group is doing much better now, and we are going to have a part II of the workshop also so that should be good.
I stayed up until 2am the other day writing this field report for Fragments & Ruins and I go to class to find out she moved the due date to like March 9th I believe, which isn't for two weeks almost! Kind of frustrating, but I guess its good so now I don't have to worry about it and I have time to do all my other work. Speaking of that class, on Friday I have to meet the TA at the Scholar's Corner, which is this coffee shop right inside, but outside, the library. I don't know what we have to talk about, the professor is just requiring us all to meet with her at least once during the semester. I will be getting my first formal paper for that class back tomorrow. She was supposed to have them on Tuesday, but she didn't finish a few of them and of course my paper was one of those few. That class ends at 3:35 and my next one is at 4:00 so I didn't have time to wait around for her to finish grading it like some people did, so I've been waiting all this time to get it, I am extremely anxious to see what I got. She has been giving mixed reactions, she says we did not very good, but then she says we did the best out of all her classes, so I don't know. I hope I did alright, and she give us a few things we can do to raise our grade a whole letter and a half so thats good also, I'm hoping I got at least a B though, but I really have no idea since every professor is different and that class is so uninteresting to me. Anyways, I have an accounting exam on Tuesday and a biology exam on Thursday, and our group project for econ is due Friday. Things just keep going and going, but I'm not too stressed out or anything surprisingly. I'm excited for Spring Break, even though I don't even know if I'll be able to go back to Washington, hopefully I will. Usually the days and weeks leading up to a break go by slow, but they are doing the opposite, and thats good!
According to my calculations, my tax refund money should be in my account by Friday. It said I should have gotten it a couple days ago, on Saturday, but then the IRS website says they do refunds of Friday's so I'm thinking Friday I should have about $100 more which is very nice; its like $90-something but whatever. My copy of The Rocket Summer's new album Of Men and Angels should be coming soon also. It came out on Tuesday, so I pre-ordered online form bestbuy because it was free shipping, and it was only like $7 or $8 so I was extremely excited, and I can wait, I'm patient, and I like getting packages. Hopefully it comes before the weekend though so I can listen to it. The songs that were released before the album are really good and I really like them so I think the entire album should be great. He hasn't come out with a new album in a few years now, so I am extremely excited. The last new release I was this excited about was the Dashboard Confessional one that came out sometime last semester; I remember running to Target just for it, and I got the last deluxe edition there!
I'm almost finished with The Mirror Effect. I have been trying to finish it for some time now, but I really only have time to read it on the weekend because of all the other reading and such I have to do for classes.
I have been spending quite a bit of money on Starbucks lately, much more than last semester. I'm using the cool mini gift card Ethan got me for Christmas and just reloading it online. By doing so, I'm also earning stars for each time I use them and you get different rewards for different levels you get to, its pretty cool! However, looking at my bank statement online I see all these transfers I made to put money on it and I add it up in my head and then I shake my head at myself, but oh well! I enjoy coffee and other various drinks, whether it be a venti iced coffee, grande americano, soy chai, or regular coffee with cinnamon dolce, these drinks are a necessity! I think it was Monday this week I didn't get anything at Starbucks, I was proud of myself because I had the urge, and a slight headache, but I didn't spend anything at Starbucks that day.
I don't know why I'm still up. It is currently 2:05am and I have class at 9:35am. Last night I went to bed somewhat early (for me at least) and it was harder to get up, and I didn't have class until 10:20am! When I stay up and go to sleep later its easier for me to get up in the morning, I don't know why. If I'm tired thats okay though, because tomorrow I'm getting my iced coffee, just like many other days, but thats beside the point.
Oh yeah, my father e-mailed me this. I guess some of his co-workers made it because they saw me on some big billboards and stuff at Sky Harbor down here in Arizona, and then sent it to Darwin and a bunch of other people. Its pretty funny, and it is cool we are both at the airport.
I talked to my cousin today, it was cool. We don't talk that much, but she texted me some today to tell me that it was FFA week or something, future farmers of america, haha. She said they had llamas, turkeys, chickens, and all sorts of farm animals on campus; only in Sequim. Later, she called me but I missed it and so I called her back and we talked for a bit, but after I hung up I had a voice mail and it turns out she accidentally called me while her phone was in her pocket or purse or something because I could hear her talking with her friends and getting in the car and driving and stuff, it was pretty funny. She was probably all "Trevor's calling me? Huh?" lol, because that how I was when I saw she called me, but yeah, it was funny.
There is still a ton of snow and ice around, I be slipping and sliding all over the place, its fun. I like it here.
I'm upset the took the My Chick Bad video down, that is SO rude, I went to watch it one day and I saw it was removed and I was highly upset. Why don't they want us to see it? I'm not deleting that post though.
Happiness is a song by The Fray that I enjoy a lot. Its nice a smooth and calm, and I like it. I forgot about it for a while, until one day I was listening to my zune on shuffle, all 7,187 of my songs, and then it came on, it made me remember and it made me happy.

Finally
I finally got my hair cut today! It feels so nice. I went over and got it cut after my religions class, all through the snow and everything. It was snowing all night I believe and continued throughout most of the day, but now it has stopped I think, in fact, I think it is sunny now. How weird, but the high for today is 25 degrees still.
I did not have any coffee/Starbucks today, the only thing I had was this cappuccino powder mix stuff in hot water but thats not coffee. Hopefully I will be able to make it through the day today, I don't know though because I kind of have a headache now, but I'm trying to not have any coffee today.
I don't know what I'm going to eat for dinner tonight, maybe the hotspot, I don't know. I have to finish writing yet another stupid paper for fragments & ruins today too, it is so stupid. We just turned in our 6-8 page paper last week, and we haven't even gotten it back, and now we have another one due this week, it is ridiculous; not fun or exciting or interesting in the least bit at all. I also have to do my accounting assignment that is due this week. So I guess this week is not that bad, but still, fragments & ruins ruins everything. Next week however, I have a biology exam on Thursday I believe and an accounting exam on Tuesday. I just want to get the stupid paper done for that stupid fragments class, and then I will feel better.

Fast
This week went by super fast, tomorrow is Friday already! Just my one class, religions (which we are now done with Judaism and now onto Christianity and Islam), and then its the weekend. For once I don't have concessions to do or anything, so I can relax and recover from the week and prepare for another tough week full of work. Tomorrow is also casino night, I'm excited. I'm trying to win some of the prizes, they have a 50"HDTV, a 360, a kindle, and some other stuff they're raffling off. I want the kindle! They look so cool, and I'm feeling lucky! (Even though I lost all my chips playing poker with kp on facebook this evening, but oh well.) It should be fun, and hopefully I can win something. ALSO, Friday is my day to catch up on my shows that aired that week, The Real World DC and Celebrity Rehab 3, I am extremely excited to see them.
Not much else has been that interesting. One day this week I was at Starbucks, well I'm there like everyday but yeah, this time I got a venti iced coffee. Well after I paid for it, the barista called a vanti raspberry iced coffee, and thats not what I ordered so I continued to wait. After a while I went up and looked at the raspberry iced coffee and looked at it, and then we, we being the barista and I, realized, well I guess she realized, she made the drink wrong! The lady that took my order asked if I wanted room, and I said yes, and I guess she put the 'R' in the syrup box on the cup instead of the custom one so she put raspberry in it. While I was waiting for her to remake my drink I tried the raspberry iced coffee and it was SO NASTY! I thought it may taste good, but it was absolutely disgusting. Anyways, that was like a highlight of my week. InterVarsity was pretty nice tonight though too.
Anyways, not much else is going on. Just a lot of work with classes and stuff; tons of reading, papers galore, and group projects. My life is pretty boring and uneventful lately, I have nothing else to mention...maybe I'll do something fun and crazy and exciting this weekend.

The Week
The week has started. Last weekend wasn't very eventful, I kind of even forgot about Valentine's Day, it doesn't really matter though, that holiday doesn't matter. I had to work concessions on Saturday and Sunday. Originally on Saturday I was in the second group which was to come at 11:30 and stay till the end, and then Sunday come at 8 and leave when the second group comes. Of course, the second group didn't come until 4, so I was not happy at all. I was there working, for free, for over eight hours! The other times the first group got to leave when the second group came, but then the second group doesn't come till hours later, so stupid. I barely got to eat anything because of the fact I was there all morning and day, so when I finally got to leave I, of course, had a huge headache. Not to mention I still had my paper to write so I was a little stressed. However, once I left the skydome I went and got a sandwich, and then some coffee while I sat in Starbucks and wrote my paper. It only took about five hours, I still can't believe I was in there for so long, but I would not let myself leave until I was finished. Once I left at about 10pm, I still had to study for my religions exam I had this morning. So last weekend was not very fun.
Now the week has started, I think I did decent on the Judaism exam, hopefully, and am done with the paper I have to turn in tomorrow. I still have some stuff to do for my biology lab but it shouldn't be too difficult. Just when I thought things were calming down again, I find out we're supposed to read this entire book for the stupid Fragments & Ruins. It isn't like the other book we had to read which was thin and had a whole bunch of pictures, no, this one is 309 pages of text, boring text too probably. So ridiculous! I guess it is going to be a while before I get to finish The Mirror Effect and my other books I want to read for myself.
I'm getting a little tired of living with a roommate, especially one that is pretty messy. It is just a little annoying, well, as you can tell by my other post, it is getting really annoying, but whatever, nothing I can really do about it. When you live with someone for an extended amount of time you're bound to find a number of things that you find extremely annoying.
On the bright side, poetry night put on by BSU or whatever, is tonight, so that should be nice. I really like the iced coffee at Starbucks, even without anything in it, it tastes good! On the brighter side, Spring Break is almost here, in a few weeks. I'm a little sad I don't have any big, fun, exciting trip planned, but I might just go home to Tacoma depending on the flights.

Apollo Night
It was pretty cool, Keedar Whittle was funny too...I wouldn't recognize him though. I do however remember him from Hell Date. Only one performance got booed off stage, they didn't even deserve to either, it was these Hawaiian guys singing and one of them was playing the ukulele, they were good but the people didn't like it I guess; lack of culture. Anyways, it was fun.
The weekend is here after my one class which is a discussion session this week, just have to turn in my paper and hear about the exam on Monday. I don't really have any plans for the weekend though, other than after hours tomorrow with a chainsaw juggler and other stuff, working concessions, and a whole bunch of homework. I really need to cut my hair though, it is seriously way too long for me and it is getting extremely annoying.
Luda's flow on this track is crazy!

Roommate Frustrations
Living with a roommate has been okay, but lately I've been getting extremely annoyed with it. I don't know what was wrong with me last night but I was tired! I fell asleep on my bed with everything around me at about 9. I woke up thirty minutes later and my roommate was getting ready to go to the gym or whatever, so I cleaned up and got ready to sleep (extremely early) while he was gone. It was like 10:27 when I went to bed, or at least tried to. My RA knocked on my door three minutes later at 10:30 but he was gone by the time I was going to open it. I was almost asleep when I hear the key in the door. My roommate comes in and turns on the light and tv, and he could clearly see I was in bed. The tv was loud too! I was not too happy, he watched his south park and other shows on comedy central, so as I was trying to sleep all I could hear was those hella annoying voices on that stupid show. Long story short, I didn't sleep till about 2am, I was just laying there from 10:27 until then thinking about everything I have to do this weekend getting more and more stressed out; not to mention I was mad about not being able to sleep when I was trying to. I'm just getting sick and tired of living with this roommate, I think it would be different and at least a little better if we were friends...but we're not. I don't mean to complain, but I'm going to. He never cleans the sink, I ALWAYS have to even though he leaves his hair in there when he shaves so its pretty nasty. I even left it there a few days hoping maybe he would clean it...but nope. Not to mention he's just messy, ugh! I guess it could be worse, but this is still pretty frustrating.
When I leave for class in the morning I usually bring everything for the whole day so I don't have to go back to the room. I just sit around in Starbucks (like I am now), or around in the union and do homework on my laptop or read or whatever.
Anyways, I just needed to get that off my chest. Tonight should be fun, after the rest of my classes and meetings, its Apollo Night, I'll let you know how it is later.
I'm writing this as I'm walking to class...I just slipped on ice.

A Little Bit Stressed
I was a little bit stressed today from all the work piling up. I just got two exams out of the way, biology and accounting, and I did well on both so thats good, but then other classes have a bunch of stuff too. Thursday I have my weekly journal due for Fragments & Ruins, and today she assigned our paper that is due a week from today for that class, my paper on Judaism is due Friday and the test is Monday, and I have to get working on this econ project with my group. Originally I was planning on playing cards with some friends this evening, but I figured it would be best if I stayed home and worked on my paper. It was hard but I'm glad I did it, I worked on my religions paper all night and now I'm done, and finished the stupid journal entries also. I always have to complete my work at least a day in advance if I have to print it out because I don't have a printer and so I have to print it out down at the business school, its been working out alright so its all good; I got like 200 pages of print credit on my account for this semester, so that should be enough. Now that I finished a chunk of my work I feel much better. I guess I'll be spending most of my weekend writing the other paper, after the concessions on both Saturday and Sunday that is. The paper has to be 6 to 8 pages and the prompt is this: What is a ruin? So ridiculous, but whatever, you gotta do what you gotta do. I haven't talked to my coach in two weeks! I feel off balance. I'm excited to talk with her this week.
Some people really irritate me, even people I don't know. At our last discussion session for religions, the TA said about a thousand times to NOT send e-mail to this one thing that says FRI (cause we meet on Fridays), but to go and select her individual contact, or else the message gets sent to everyone in that discussion section. Still people continue to send her messages the wrong way so I keep getting messages form people that are to her and it is highly annoying, PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN and its really an issue. Also, what makes me extremely annoyed is when I actually do the reading and then we do not even talk about it in class. I had to read this whole book for the stupid fragments & ruins class today, it was pretty small and had a lot of pictures but it still took quite a bit of my time nonetheless. So when I get to class she just spends like the entire time talking about our paper because she forgot her book and has all her notes or whatever written in her book, how stupid is that, wasted all my time reading that book about art and we don't even discuss it, very irritating. I guess it is alright since now I've already read it and don't need to spend much more time going through it or anything but still!
Anyways, I'm having a good week here in week five; I am one-third of the way done with this semester, it is going by pretty fast. It feels different than last semester though, I guess just because I'm a lot more used to things now than I was last semester when I first got here.
Apollo night is Thursday so I'm looking forward to that. This week is going by fairly quick it seems. I got the book I compulsively ordered online, The Last Day of My Life, I'm excited to read it once I complete The Mirror Effect. I can also take the test in the appendix of the book to find my NPI (Narcissistic Personality Index), it should be interesting. I want to get some other people to do it too to see how accurate it is and stuff, maybe I'll call KP and ask her the questions over the phone since she never did it in calculus last year. The Last Day of My Life is a pretty short read, maybe I will finish it in one sitting so I can then start on my next Dean Koontz book. I've been eating a lot of oranges lately, I get them when I get a sub or pizza or wherever else they have them, I forgot how good they were! It just takes some work to peel it and stuff and it makes my hands look ashy and smell like oranges, but it comes off easily.
Some people really irritate me, even people I don't know. At our last discussion session for religions, the TA said about a thousand times to NOT send e-mail to this one thing that says FRI (cause we meet on Fridays), but to go and select her individual contact, or else the message gets sent to everyone in that discussion section. Still people continue to send her messages the wrong way so I keep getting messages form people that are to her and it is highly annoying, PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN and its really an issue. Also, what makes me extremely annoyed is when I actually do the reading and then we do not even talk about it in class. I had to read this whole book for the stupid fragments & ruins class today, it was pretty small and had a lot of pictures but it still took quite a bit of my time nonetheless. So when I get to class she just spends like the entire time talking about our paper because she forgot her book and has all her notes or whatever written in her book, how stupid is that, wasted all my time reading that book about art and we don't even discuss it, very irritating. I guess it is alright since now I've already read it and don't need to spend much more time going through it or anything but still!
Anyways, I'm having a good week here in week five; I am one-third of the way done with this semester, it is going by pretty fast. It feels different than last semester though, I guess just because I'm a lot more used to things now than I was last semester when I first got here.
Apollo night is Thursday so I'm looking forward to that. This week is going by fairly quick it seems. I got the book I compulsively ordered online, The Last Day of My Life, I'm excited to read it once I complete The Mirror Effect. I can also take the test in the appendix of the book to find my NPI (Narcissistic Personality Index), it should be interesting. I want to get some other people to do it too to see how accurate it is and stuff, maybe I'll call KP and ask her the questions over the phone since she never did it in calculus last year.

Another Busy Week
I had an alright weekend, I didn't do much. Sat in Starbucks for a while as usual, I got to read quite a bit of The Mirror Effect, its really interesting. Had the normal annoyances and such with you know who. I hung out with Olivia and Amparo a lot too because Megan went home to the valley for the weekend. We played cards and did random stuff, it was fun. I guess I give good foot massages, haha, its one of my hidden talents I guess.
This week I have a lot to do: reading for classes of course, quizzes to complete, write a paper for religions, Apollo night on Thursday with Keedar Whittle (that should be cool). As for the weekend, Saturday I have to work concessions from 11:30am-4pm, and then Sunday I have to work concessions from 8am-12:30pm; not looking forward to waking up so early Sunday morning, but oh well. They are just track meets, no one goes to them so its pretty slow, it was really slow at the last one so we got to close up early, and at least I will still have the rest of my day/night on both days to do stuff and finish homework.
I don't really have anything else to write about since I have not really done much the past couple days. That needs to change. I'm going to try and just do whatever and have fun, and stop worrying so much about Stephanie, even though that sounds harsh, but seriously, there needs to be some changes.

Change of Plans
For Spring Break 10 I don't think I will be doing anything spectacular after all. All the hotels I found require you to be at least 21 to check-in, and so I guess it would be smarter to save my money. I'm going to buy DJ Hero for my 360 though because its really fun and I like it, but thats less money than those few nights in a hotel. I may just stay in Flagstaff for the week, the flight out and in to Flagstaff will most likely be full from other students who purchase tickets to fly over spring break and I don't want to have to use more of my father's positive space tickets because I feel bad. I still want to do something though. If I find a job I guess I could work a lot and stuff, but thats if I find a job. Maybe I should go apply at some places off-campus, I could be a server somewhere, that would be fun. Just like the good 'ol village green days. Spring break is only a week anyways so it would be weird to go up to Tacoma for that short amount of time. I would just go down to the valley and visit KP, but she had to move back to the Pacific Northwest a.k.a Tacoma area, so thats sad; that would have been fun! I think I've decided I'm going to stay here, it will be extremely boring and dead on campus, but whatever. I can find stuff to do, I'll go on an adventure, but in Flagstaff instead of Boston, haha. I'm going to buy DJ Hero over the break I think though, if not sooner, so I'm excited about that.
I don't know if my roommate is going to California for the break or not yet. I'm going to sleep now even though its pretty early for a Friday night, its not even two yet! I have nothing better to do though, and someone is really irritating me. The BSU community service for Saturday morning is cancelled, they sent out an e-mail Friday night at 11:30pm letting us know, psh. She texts me asking if I saw it and I said, "yeah figures...oh well." That group has been known to be flaky in the past, its just how they are and its whatever. How DARE she turn around and accuse me of being negative and not listen to what she says. Um okay, really? I have always been known as a good listener and stuff, and positive about everything. Sure, I complain a little bit about stupid assignments or a class I don't like, but its not really serious and nothing compared to her complaining. All she does is talk about herself, all the effing time, seriously! "Oh everyone around is happy in a relationship, blah blah blah, I want a boyfriend, blah blah blah. Its even more annoying because she does it in person, and then complains about that same stuff, plus more, on facebook; just extremely irritating, making it seem like shes trying to get people to feel sorry for her. She can never be wrong about anything too. If I say she said this, then shell be like, "no, I said this" and change like one word. She just likes arguing, but I refuse to argue with her so I just quit texting or start being quiet.
Like a good friend said, "Just relax and don't worry cause shit really doesn't matter." This really is true, even my coach said something similar, well not really similar but I was telling her about the class I didn't like (Fragments and Ruins) and she was just like, " Just give it your best and stuff but don't stress about it, cause in the end its just a class." That is very true its just a class and shit really doesn't matter in the end.

"Ok well y dnt u try leading a conversation in the direction u want it to go and maybe we could avoid those topics that are bothersome to u. Sound gd?"That is the message I got back when I told her she talks about herself a lot. Wow. Even the way she texts annoys me; thats bad. Its just amazing how she can just push all my buttons to make me so frustrated I just don't know what to do sometimes. I guess thats why I have to write it out here, and if she sees this so what, I don't care. I'm too nice. I am going to start saying exactly what is on my mind next time she talks rudeness to me, if I hurt her feelings oh well, every other little thing hurts her feelings anyways so it doesn't even matter. I'm done getting all worked up about her and her bull.

Good
Things are going pretty good now. I got my biology and accounting exams out of the way, and I think I did pretty well. I still have a lot to do; reading, and papers to write, but things are going pretty well now. At my academic advising appointment I figured out classes I'm going to take next semester and stuff and I'm pretty on top of things so thats exciting. Also, she encouraged me just to take English next semester, I need classes to take anyways because I don't have that many I need to take other than ones for my major cause I got a lot of the general requirements out of the way last semester, and this semester. Originally I was going to take English online during the summer just because I hate it, but she convinced me to just take it next semester. It will take up some units I need, and it will be cheaper than paying for the summer class, and when I thought of that I came up with a GREAT plan.
Since I was going to take English online during the summer, it would, of course, require money to pay for it. I was planning on using money I have saved up in my savings account and what not to pay for the class. However, now that I am taking it next semester, I will still have that money I was going to use to pay for it. So I have decided I will use my money to have a fun adventure on Spring Break! I am very excited. I need to figure out all the details of what I'm going to do and when so I can book the hotel and stuff. Thats really the only thing I will need to pay for, other than food, and maybe a pass for the metro and stuff, I don't know how much that is yet but yeah. I guess now I have something to do other than homework this weekend, plan my adventure.
The Super Bowl is this weekend, I don't really care about it. I mean I might watch it if I have people to watch it with, but I'm just tired of football now. Its basically all my roommate watches; espn, espn2, and comedy central. At least the stuff I like to watch I can watch online, or else I don't know what I would do.
I feel like the all the stuff I ever blog about is about classes. Oh well, that is my life right now, thats why I'm here after all so it makes sense.
Tomorrow I have community service to do with BSU at 10am and this food/kitchen place or something. If it is still on that is, I haven't heard any more details about it so I don't know where to meet or anything, but me not hearing things about that club isn't anything new.
I want to do something fun. I haven't really been doing anything lately, everything has just been same 'ol same 'ol, I need to go to a party or something because I'm bored! Oh well. Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj were on David Letterman last night, it was cool. You can view it below in case you missed it.

On my mind
I have so much on my mind now! I just had my academic advising appointment thing and it was good, I'm ahead of the game. I had my biology exam this morning and it went pretty good, I think I did well. Now I'm studying for accounting before my fragments and ruins class in a few minutes.
I'm thinking about more exams and papers this semester, the idea of studying abroad, finding a job (for here and the summer), classes next semester, spring break, and everything! I need to calm down and focus so I can do well on this test, I wish didn't have to go to fragments but oh well. I wanted to update this right quick, and try doing it by sending an e-mail from my phone; pretty cool. I have to pee SO bad.

Jump Up In The Air and Stay There
Well Tuesday was a long day. I was gone for 11.5 hours, came back to my room for four minutes, and then left again for two more hours; the last two were fun hours though. I was up and down and all over campus going to class and studying and my bio SI session. Tomorrow is a busy day as well. I have my biology exam at 9:35, my early enrollment advising appointment at 1:00, fragments & ruins at 2:20, my accounting exam at 4:00, InterVarsity at 8:00, and my coach is going to call me sometime in-between there too.
I spent many hours this evening studying for those exams, and I feel pretty good about them so hopefully I'll do alright.
The weekend is almost here, I am so happy...even though I don't really have plans yet. Oh, actually I think I have to get up Saturday morning to go do some community service at this food bank with BSU, if they don't flake or anything.
I find it quite humorous that Lil' Wayne did a song with Erykah Badu after he was talking about her in A Milli. Listen to it! Its called "Jump Up In the Air and Stay There"
I was reading one of those small local papers thing in Flagstaff and found the classifieds for jobs and guess what I found?! A bartender position open that requires no experience, but you had to be 19!!!!!!!!!!! MAN, I was SO excited and then SO sad within like three and a half seconds.
Drinking coffee is something I enjoy a lot, tea is pretty good too, especially my 'Joy' tea I still have from the holiday season. Thirsty Thursday is tomorrow, well technically today, but its not till after I sleep and wake up again, and after I take my exams.

Major Week
This is one of the first major weeks with important stuff for classes. Everything is on Thursday, biology exam, accounting exam, accounting assignment, and three more journals for fragments and ruins; along with a bunch of reading to do. The reading actually isn't too bad though, and I'm actually able to read my books that I want to read for fun, I don't know how but I am. I really need to study for both of these exams though, I haven't really looked at any biology stuff outside of class so thats not good. I may go to this study session the SI is having though, that way I will have an idea if I know the stuff or not, I think I do though. Accounting 205, the accounting class I'm in, is known to be difficult too so thats a little scary. All the professors use the same exam though, so the one from last semester form my friend should have similar stuff on it so at least I will have that to study from; it isn't too difficult yet as long as I study I should be okay hopefully.
I think I'm developing a little bit more OCD, I don't know why though. Its nothing really serious, yet at least, just some stuff I've been noticing is some OCD stuff I know. For exampling, setting my alarm, I check it like eight or nine times. I have always done that, but I am just now noticing it I guess, I'm just scared it won't go off and I won't wake up, but whatever.
I need to go to the gym! I have only gone like once this semester, thats not good. I like to blame it on the weather that has been here, preventing me from going out there and stuff, but thats not really true. I just have not found good times to go I guess, I need to figure it out though, I ran a couple miles the one time I went there and then my legs were a little bit sore, I miss that!
The stupid campus coffee bean (that isn't even on campus) never got back to me about the job, so I'm still looking. Not as actively as I was a week or two ago since now classes have picked up quite a bit, but I am still in need of a job. I have issues! I was listening to a radio show that I regularly listen to and they had this guy, Jim Moret, on as a guest. He recently wrote a book entitled The Last Day of My Life, and of course he was promoting it and stuff. They were telling the listeners to go and buy the book, and what do I do? I immediately go to amazon to see how much they are selling it for, then I go to half.com and check out the prices there, and then compulsively order it. It should be here soon hopefully, but I just bought it, basically because they told me to. Now that doesn't mean I do anything and everything people tell me to do, but I have been reading a lot lately and am always looking for new books to add to my lineup. Right now I'm reading The Mirror Effect and then after I finish it, depending if the book I just ordered is here or not I will read that one next since its only like a hundred something pages, and then Strangers by Dean Koontz is after that. I never thought I would be reading for fun more often in college than in high school or anything, but I am, even though I have a ton more reading to do for classes and stuff, I guess its getting easier, which is good.
Spring Break 10 is coming up! Well, in March at least. I'm still trying to figure out what I should do. At first I was thinking about going to Boston for a couple days just for a fun adventure, I've always wanted to go there and I think I should make a tradition to go on some crazy adventure every Spring Break in college, I think that would be fun. However, John Mayer is on tour right now, and during the week of my Spring Break he will be in Atlanta, and the metro goes from the airport right to downtown ATL which is around the area he will be performing, so that could be fun too. Going to a concert by myself would be a little weird though. I may try and see if someone wants to go with me, but then they would have to pay a lot more cause of airfare and stuff so I don't know. I still have some time to figure it out, but I have to plan well in advance!
Taylor Swift, album of the year, really? I have nothing against her or anything, shes pretty cute, but she was up against Gaga and the QUEEN B, I do not agree. I didn't really get to watch it because my roommate was watching some other ish or something but I saw some of the performances, the Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Drake performance was pretty hot! Even though it was edited horribly, they muted it on words that weren't even bad words, but whatever.
