thunderstorm.

I do loves me a good thunderstorm. The best part of it is I don't have to go anywhere in it!

However, I do have reading to do. Because I seem to have gotten behind. And as soon as I got even a little bit behind, my professors decided to assign triple the reading.

COOL.

Well, the housing situation worked out. We got our first choice, something we did not expect to happen because of the whole credit mix up this year. We're living in Laurel next year, I'm excited. Now I just have to worry about which classes to choose, being as registration for that is Tuesday at 3. Oh, and officially declaring Lit as a second major. Right now it just looks like I'm a history major who has decided to take on a bunch of Lit electives. I really want to fix that.

Friday was the DAVY JONES concert. It was fantastic, even if it was a tiny bit odd. In my mind, the man is still only 17 years old. That is not the case. He was funny about his previous teen idol status, even if a bit racist. I was unconcerned. And now I have a Davy Jones shirt AND a hot pink guitar pick! I feel mildly like a teenager obsessing over the Monkees in the 60's, but what can you do.

Saturday was the high school's musical, this year being Thoroughly Modern Millie. I thought they did an awesome job with it. I was also happy to see a cheery, funny musical. The depressing ones are usually fantastic, and god knows I have an appreciation for tragedy, but it was a nice change.

Now I suppose it's back to reading. Meaning I'm going to go watch an episode of Roswell, then actually get some reading done.

GAH!

I hate the housing process! HATE! With a fiery passion!

I'm so annoyed I'm using exclamatory punctuation. I usually try to stick to periods only. They emphasize the fact that I do not prefer to have extreme emotions about the world. The exceptions would be wrath. Just like now.

I conclude with a quote:
"I never look forward to anything. Because whenever I look forward to anything, it ends up sucking. The buildup inevitably leads to a letdown. It’s safer to lowball my way through life."

early morning.

I'm at tutoring. As much as it hurts to wake up before 9 in the morning in college, it is a good thing I have to get up and go someplace where I get paid to do my homework for three hours. It means that my Euro homework (mostly) gets done every week. Definitely a positive.

I finally put together my proposal for my Euro paper (which is kind of a good thing, considering it's due in less than eight hours). It's going to be on Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, and I think I may actually be able to write the paper I described in the proposal. That never happens! I'm glad that me liking Number the Stars when I was younger (and alright, I wouldn't say no to reading it right now...) has led me to always have an interest in the resistance movement against the Nazis. I'm now done being a geek for this entry.

Considering I have completed my proposal way before I thought I would, one would think that I would read Funny Papers, the next book for my 20th Century American Novel class. That would be incorrect. I got to page 6 and somehow ended up reading FML. I am not under the impression that this is necessarily a bad thing.

This sounds like an episode of Saved by the Bell. Or at least like it could be a short story.

Today, I was at a club with my girlfriend of only two weeks. As we were dancing, another woman grabbed my ass from behind me and squeezed. I yelped and turned around to see my mother as the culprit. My girlfriend punched her. I found out my mother is a Cougar and my girl has a mean right hook. FML

Kt and I watched "Blind Date" from the first season of Roswell. I must say, that is one of the best episodes in that season. Drunk Max is adorable. And he and drunk Kyle should hang out all of the time. As much as the ridiculously slow relationship of Max and Liz can be annoying sometimes, I do support it. Even if they seem Amish at points. The episode also features Maria singing with the Whits, which I love. I really like their cover of "In the Air Tonight", but it's sad that I don't really like the original version. Also that one cannot obtain the cover. Majandra has a good voice. If she's singing at a lower decibal level. Which means that I really don't like her as an actual singer, I like her as Maria the singer. Oh well.

blog revival.

I have now tried three different blog websites in the span of one year. This one appears to be more user friendly, so here I am.

Just returned from spring break. My professors were all very gracious today, I somehow managed to get out of all three classes early. This doesn't make up for the Brit Lit midterm that I had to take this morning. I failed in my quest to study last night, so I (semi) frantically read my notes this morning. Hopefully things just work out and I got a fantastic grade! Let me pretend to be optimistic.

Gossip Girl was on tonight. That show is thankfully getting back to its old goodness. It's not that I thought that it went too downhill, but I've found that the show is at its best when the main characters are involved in problems together rather than their own separate problems. Another trend is that it tends to be better when Dan and Serena are broken up. This does not include the time that Serena spent dating scruffy face Aaron. As always, Chuck and Blair are still my favorite characters.

Also, K just told me that she got Sloppy Firsts on Kindle. Must resist urge to read it, especially because I have to read both Funny Papers and Mephisto by next week. Damn.
