"Set the Fire to the Third Bar"

Wow... what a week. I've skipped almost all of my classes and all I can say in response to that is... why didn't I skip all of them? I am literally so exhausted from all that is going on in my life right now. I will be extremely surprised if I actually get to student teach next semester as planned. I don't even know where to begin when trying to talk about what I have been up to. I have a class that I HAVE to finish and get a grade for before tomorrow, I have one of the most important applications to submit before 5pm tomorrow, I have homework in all of my 9 classes, I have a Battle of the Bands event to completely plan before Feb 19th - which includes trying not to seem like a flake to my bands, getting prizes, getting a sound system, getting food and drinks, advertising the hell out of it, staying within regulation when I try to commit to something, back to everything else - plan an event for my floor which also includes shopping and advertising and getting word of mouth out, have a floor meeting about housing next year, do the mail tomorrow, buy a v-day gift for Joe, oh, and sleep, and maybe throughout the day - try to find some food that ISN'T gonna make me feel like I can't run around like a chicken with my head cut off, because frankly - thats about the only thing i can do to save my ass right now. So... if you can't tell.. i'm a little stressed and freaked out because in all of what i need to do - I'll be damned if someone will actually step up and offer to be delegated to... further more - there is NOONE around that i can actually delegate to that I can rely on to do what I'm delegating... omg... oh, so back on point, I've skipped classes because honestly - my body disagrees with me doing so much, so i've basically been passed out for the last 48 hours... which just makes me work harder on figuring out whatthehell i need to do... omg.. ok.. so enough for now - or else i'll skip this next class again for the week... k, bye - wish me luck or at least that i can get wasted and not care anymore!

Amnesia...Right?

So, alright, I'll be the first to admit that I procrastinate - but apparently I am figuring out that homework actually needs to be done. I know, right? After reading my new unexpected-favorite book series repeatedly, I finally got back to school in my CEO position and decided that THIS semester.. will be different....HAHAHA ya right, like I haven't said that before. I know. Anyway, because of my 21 credits, job, and life I have chosen to make sure that no (or at least very few) homework assignments go undone - or late. This is of course, keeping in mind that I have to remember to finish up a very important class from last semester..So, we will see how well this new plan will go - probably not very well, but we will see.

Wow, if I had posted this where I initially left off, it would have been like two sentences... actually more than two- maybe four or so. Today has been so busy, I have been moving non-stop and here I am at 12:30am working on my blog while my homework page loads, sad-sad day.

Here's what I don't understand... why do all my classes have an 'online component?' do teachers really think that this helps the students? NO, all it does is make things, like turning in assignments harder... because instead of just handwritting a quick assignment in my spare time, I have to take time out of my already packed schedule to get settled in with my computer and type for 20 min- an assignment that would normally take 5 min.. Jerks! Just because computers are awesome doesn't mean that they have to be used for everything in life. Sure, I could just as easily call up my friends and vent about computers and stupid D2L, but I'd rather sit down on my futon with my computer in my lap and my door open to keep an eye on my residents and type up a little post for my friends (mainly Sharon) to read on their own time. But wait, I'm doing what I want teachers to do... let me write my damn assignments when I have time! It is so much easier to find time to sit down with a pen and paper than a computer with internet connection, especially in brick and cynderblock buildings in which wireless does not effectively navigate (trust me, i know... we have had countless problems with routers this year already).

Damn, I could really go for seeds and some Rock of Love Bus right about now....

Ah, the good 'ol days of having free time, I barely remember what that phrase means anymore - its like an ancient term in an ancient language... "free time?" What is that, where did it come from, how did people do it??? I don't know... but I want it back.. Grr...

Have Fun!!

Uppers and Downers: The Best of Both Worlds

Well, after some debate in my mind, and some debate with others, I have decided that I will finally decide if I want to remain in my position or not. (To remain 'mysterious' will will say.. CEO as my position :P) Surprisingly enough, my mother is on board with spending more money by quitting my CEO position. As a CEO, there are several benefits which I would obviously have to pay for if I quit the position. So, by taking money out of the equation and the Pro/Con list, there aren't a lot of Pro's left. Sure, there are my "employees" to think of, and my "partner," but first and fore-most myself. Since I do not really feel greatly invested in the company, I feel that I would be ok in making my decision to leave. I just mainly feel it is time for me to spread my wings just a little bit more. By taking the position, I kind of cut my wings in a way - moving from a more developed company, to a younger crowd. Its time to venture out on my own. And, if that's not enough cliche's for you.. I'm affraid you are going to have to find another blog to enjoy- because "frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn." :)

On a lighter note, It is almost Thanksgiving!!! This means a trip to the BF!! I'm so excited, I haven't seen him for... a long time! - Like, MONTHS long!! And then, after three days with him, its back to home I go. :( But.. then later I will be able to see him!! and then maybe one day we can be in the same city again... wow.. wouldn't that be nice?...

Ok, that'll be enough for tonight... it is, after all, too damn late for me to be awake - or at least awake and not doing paperwork :(

Have Fun!!!

Hell or Homework?

Apparently, I chose Hell...

So, as many of you know, I went to a conference this past weekend. In the beginning of planning for this conference (for it shall be known as HELL from hence forth) I was quite excited about going and getting a chance to hang out with friends on a super long busride like I did not to long ago when I went to Purgatory. But, such is not the case... Instead of Heaven, or even Purgatory, I went to HELL.

Now, don't get me wrong, the place or the setting I was in was not actually that bad... It was mainly just the whole overall situation. Instead of having fun and going to rock-awesome programs and presentations, what did I do?! I'll tell you what I did... I sat in a classroom... and listened. The morning was alright, I was by myself, representing my school. But, then we ate lunch - and the devil came dancing through the double doors. He then grabbed my arm and drug me to yet another classroom. This time, I was not in HELL alone, though. I was with Hitler and Superman (superman? you may be asking, but then you obviously don't watch the same cartoons I do. - while superman may be awesome, he tends to only be awesome when you arent louis lane and dealing with him all the time.) This time, I sat in the firey waiting room for...four more hours, sat and played with food for three hours, and then...and then...RETURNED TO HELL for FOUR MORE HOURS... yes.. I was in actual HELL for... TWELVE LONG FIREY HOURS... in one day. I don't even want to talk about it.

The ONLY good thing that came from being in Hell for TWELVE hours... was this...

It's called a "tangle," it is amazing, I know you wish you had one.. but you don't, unless you go to HELL for the weekend - it will be your only parting gift from the D-man.

Why is this the best thing ever? because it is blue, fun to play with, and... you almost CAN'T break it... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

So, you are probably asking yourselves, Seriously... how is this worthy of being HELL (especially in all caps..)?

Well... I will continue. So the busride alone was over 9 hours (One way), and may I say - cramped! Next, the food situation was NOT happening - omg.. I still can't even write about how bad it was... I'll have nightmares... s'riously.

Anyway. So, after a whole weekend, I had no homework done - a headache that would kill a horse, (a horse? i don't even know what that means.) and a stomach ache that... (?)really hurt(?).

Anyway, I am back a school (aka. not HELL - rather, Hell). Just chillin', killin'. (jk, I would NEVER want to go back to HELL again! And I wouldn't suggest it to you either, I'm not that cruel.

Have Fun!!!

First Come, First Serve

Hey ya'll...

So this is a new blog, for a new year, for new experiences! There is so much that has happened in the past few days, weeks, months that I don't even know where to begin. For starters, I'm still taking classes in hopes to one day teach the minds of tomorrow... ek... no pressure. Still have about two more years until I have to deal with that every day - so yay... more studying. I started classes this last Tues. They should be interesting. Thankfully there are people in most of them that I get along with, so we can make fun of the class together! Yay.. Is it bad that I'm already ready for a break? I've been seemingly stuck in Vtown for the last couple of weeks... I'm so ready for a weekend at home, laying around, watching movies. Which reminds me... I need to find a good book to start destracting myself with. That way I can have something that actually takes up useful time instead of studying, because really, who wants to do that? Not I!

I got to talk to the bf last night. I use the word 'talk' loosely, we actually only got to talk online, but at least it was in real time unlike the emails we have been sending back and forth every so often. He is having the 'time of his life' over in Tland... so good for him. Lots of people have been asking how he is, which leads me to believe that they know we are back together..again lol.

Speaking of people that I need to talk with, the bros... havent heard from them lately, I'm sure they are doing spectacular though... They normally are.

Saw the soon-to-be sis-in-law the other day, that was good.. it was nice to get to see a familiar face again. We went and paid tribute to the great Mrs. T. with Mexican food. It was quite delicious... I could really go for a taco now... hm.. I think TJ's is open... maybe for supper?

Housing, or rather, Federal policy has been a pain in my arse lately. They have been telling me who I can and cannot work for... b*st*rds... But I'll deal, I always do.

Oh, big news... or rather... decent sized news. I'll be going to a concert in the near future with a new friend from OHall. Should be pretty interesting in my opinion. Nah, but seriously, it should be pretty good. I've heard several of their songs, and I have one of their cd's on my computer, and it should be fun. If nothing else, I'll be going to a concert! We were going to see them in MN, but we chose to go on a Sat instead because of classes..Funny how school is already affecting my life :( .

Anyway. I suppose it's about that supper time I spoke of. Have a good night. And, until we type/read again...

Have Fun!!
