Sleeping in felt wonderful this morning.  I originally woke up at 10 with a sense of urgency, but I told myself it was okay to stay sleeping... so I did.  I woke up again at 11, but this time I stayed up.  I took my time getting ready for my classes and then finally headed out to MSCO with Laura.  We had a guest speaker today, a special one, so I invited Laura to come hear him speak since she's an ad major and I figured she'd enjoy it.  I'm pretty sure she did.

POSC was on the more exciting side today, which was out of the ordinary.  Just kidding.  It might have been the most boring class yet, which is sad considering we had a guest speaker for that class too.  And I was kind of looking forward to class today since we were supposed to be talking about the media.  I don't really know what we were talking about in that class today.  I was trying to pay attention and follow along with the powerpoint, but he wasn't going with the powerpoint and he kept asking questions that I couldn't hear the answers to.  Not cool.  We went over a few minutes thanks to some PSA in Arabic, so I had to book it up the hill to COM.

I wish I liked that class.  I just don't understand the theories as well as I think I should and I wish my professor was good at explaining things.  I'm just really glad that the class isn't teaching itself anymore and that she's at least attempting to lead the class in some direction.  We watched part of some documentary about Fox and how it controls everything it owns, but after a while it just got extremely boring and everyone started to grow antsy.  We actually went the full time tonight, again, which is weird.  I don't really like it, but I mean, if that's how much time we need, that's how much time we need.

I read for REL and ate and have surfed around online, and now I'm bored.  I should probably go to bed, but I'm not particularly tired.  I don't know what to do.

As usual, I did not want to wake up for class.  I slept an extra 5 minutes, but it still wasn't enough.  Thankfully there were biscuit sandwiches that made everything better this morning, even if I was 3 minutes late to class.  I couldn't wait to get back to bed once class was over, but that plan didn't work out.  I don't think I did much of anything before I showered at 3.

For some reason I decided to straighten my hair today.  I wasn't planning on doing anything the rest of the day besides do some reading for class, so it was kind of random.  I ventured out a total of 2 times after my initial class outing.  Once to go down to the caf with Erin and once to go to Ralphs with Katy.  We didn't see any famous people this time, but we did score some delicious molten chocolate cake... or whatever it was called.  And we have 2 more in the freezer for later delicious-ness.

Amber has been singing all day, which is normal, but it's different today.  Normally she's full of hundreds of apathetic sighs, random outbursts of laughter, and numerous out of key songs, but not today.  Today she was humming/singing, but it sounded more like noise than anything else.  She is currently in the common room, so everyone can hear her, and she's humming/singing P!ATD.  Not cool.  It's okay but not when she butchers songs I don't like, but it just double sucks when she ruins songs that I do like.

And tomorrow marks the starting wave of rooming notifications.  Hopefully we get to find out tomorrow where we'll be living next year.  If not, I guess I can wait another day.  I'm mostly excited to find out who Laura is going to be rooming with.  I'm kind of excited to find out who Amber's rooming with too.  And where her room is in relation to ours.  Hopefully it's somewhat far away.  Sad.

Oregon

Katy finally got one.  I normally own at the license plate game, but Katy spotted an Oregon plate before I did.

Katy and I slept until 1.  My mom had to come in and wake us up for breakfast.  I though she was totally kidding when she said it was 1, but no, it was actually the afternoon already.  We spent pretty much all day just watching TV with my mom in the living room until 7, when we finally left.  Kabuki's was delicious as always and I got uber full... as always.  And the tempura ice cream was the best way to finish off such a great meal.

I got a little turned around trying to get on the freeway, what else is new, but I finally figured it out.  I was a little concerned I'd get turned around on the way back to school, since I had never driven that route before, but it was extremely straight forward and I was fine.  We got back and settled into our home around 10 and have been chillaxing out maxin and relaxing all cool ever since.  I'm pretty tired, from what idk, so I think I'm going to call it quits pretty soon.

I'm just really glad with how this weekend turned out.  I had a wonderful time hanging out with Katy and I'm really glad she was able to come down this weekend.  Maybe next year we'll both be free some weekend before spring break and we'll be able to do this again.

in motion

Today was great.

I didn't sleep well last night for some strange reason.  It wasn't like I wasn't tired, because I was, so it probably had to do with me not being able to breathe correctly.  I woke up at 4 and couldn't fall asleep until after 7.  I can't remember what time I originally fell asleep, but I think it was around 2.  So I got about 4 hours last night since I woke up at 9.

After Katy and I were ready to start our day, we went down to the caf to eat, but there was a serious lack of options.  I ended up with a scone and Katy ended up with a Danish.  I don't remember what time we actually left school, but I think it was close to 10:45.  I should've taken the 5 all the way to Beach, but I took the 60, got off at Beverly, and took the streets all the way to Knott's.  It took kinda long, but whatev.  I like driving.

The weather was great today too.  It was hot, but not unbearably hot, and there were nice breezes now and then.  Perfect amusement park weather.  I'm just super glad I decided to wear shorts instead of pants.  We made it to Knott's around one and hit up all of the major rides except Boomerang, but it was closed so there wasn't much we could do about that.  I'm just glad I finally had someone to go on rides with.  My Cal friends aren't into rides.  It started to get super chilly once the sun went down, go figure, so we called it quits after a funnel cake break and one last Supreme Scream drop.

Norms was delicious as always and I got the French Dip I had been waiting for.  I was expecting it to be busier and full of Cal people, but I didn't see anyone I knew.  Cal's musical was going on tonight, so I figured everyone would go there afterwards, but by the time Katy and I showed up, around 10, the second act was just about to start.  Apparently South Pacific is a long ass musical.  

Before heading home, I had to make a quick pit stop at Walgreens for some more meds and some drinks.  I was pretty nervous about going home, considering the condition of my house and the fact that I haven't had any friends over since I was 10, but it worked out fine.  Katy and I are chillin in my room watching SNL.  What's so scary about that?

I wasn't fine when I woke up this morning.  I was worse.  Much much worse.  My coughing was better today, but my nose was all stuffy.  Beyond belief stuffy.  I've been taking stuff for the past several days so I wouldn't get stuffy, but I guess it backfired on me.

I contemplated ditching MSCO today in order to sleep, but thought it best that I go to class.  We had a guest speaker again, who spoke about PR, discussed our upcoming assignments, and were dismissed.  Houston told me about some stuff to try to get rid of my allergy attack, Zicam, so I went to the vitamin store by Ralph's to get some Cold Calm and some Zicam.  I also meant to go to CVS to get tissues and allergy pills, but I forgot whoops.

I would've liked to have slept the rest of the day, but I didn't really have that option.  I cannot wait to pass out in a few minutes.  I am beyond tired and I need my rest.

Toyota of Orange

I almost forgot to post.  How weird.

Today did not feel like Thursday.  I don't know what it felt like, but I know it didn't feel like Thursday.

I didn't sleep well last night... at all.  I woke myself up coughing more than a few times, I couldn't breathe, and it was hot.  I think I woke up around 6:30 and just laid in bed until it was time for me to get up.  I did doze off for a few minutes though, causing me to get up later than I had planned, but I still got ready in time to get breakfast before class.  The whole time during class I could not wait to get back to bed.  I had told Katy that we could go to the beach, but I was not functional enough to drive.  The weather worked out in my favor today though, it wasn't nearly warm enough for the beach, so that was nice.  I don't know if I fell asleep when I got back to my room or not.  I know I was pretty close a few times, but I don't know if I actually crossed that line into sleep.

I pretty much just laid around until 3ish when Laura and I went down to the caf for a late lunch.  I left a little early so I could print out the lecture for POSC and scarf down a lemon.  Gotta get that Vitamin C.  I'm hoping that all of these pills and Vitamin C overload is working, but I don't know if it is.  I don't think I was coughing as much today I have been, but my nose is starting to get stuffy.  Just within the past 2 hours I've gone from breathing through my nose to being forced to breathe through my mouth.  Not good.  I'll be fine by Saturday though.  I'll be fine when I wake up in the morning.  I'll be perfectly fine.

I woke myself up coughing a few times this morning.  Not a good sign.  It just got worse as the day progressed.

Convo was okay.  The speaker was a Mateo Messina, some composer that did music for Juno, Thank You for Smoking, and The Office.  It ran longer than usual since the chapel band was playing for the first part, but I didn't mind so much.  I didn't really do much between convo and class except sleep.  I think I slept for about 20 minutes and then went to go take my test.  The test was way easier than I was expecting, but there were still some questions that I was unsure about.  Had I had the access code to get on the book's website, I would've been golden.  I think I was back in my room my 2:40.  

I figured I had enough time for a little nap since Katy had class til 4 and I thought we were going to the beach with a few people afterwards.  I ended up sleeping til 5 and the beach didn't happen.  Then it was Katy's turn to take a nap.  Naps are always wonderful and makes everything so much better.

Around 10 I decided to make a Ralph's run to get as much medicine as I thought was needed to prevent me from getting sick.  I bought some cough pills, which haven't started working yet, and some Vitamin C pills.  I'm going to get rid of this cough and keep everything else at bay.  Ad when I was checking out, I was in line behind Mel Gibson so we made a few comments about groceries.  It was weird and cool all at the same time.  My tank was almost on empty when I left Ralph's, so I filled up my tank for the weekend.  I was hoping that there would be parking when I got to school, but all the lots were full again.  I had to park on the street, but at least it's a smidge closer than it was earlier.

Sensational

Yesterday morning I woke up with a scratchy throat which eventually led to a little cough.  This morning when I woke up, the little cough had turned into a big cough.  But it's just a cough and I'll be fine tomorrow.

I was planning on eating my leftovers from The Cheesecake Factory, but I was a retard and microwaved it in the to-go container.  Bad choice.  The container ended up melting.  I probably could have saved the food, but I just threw the plastic-y mess away.  And when I looked up, it was 11:13.  Just missed it...  I ended up just eating Life and my leftover cheesecake for breakfast/brunch/lunch.  I finished up reading for POSC, got ready, and went down to the bookstore to buy some allergy medicine and a mug so I can finally make tea.  I've been taking pills, drinking honey and tea, and drinking vitamin c stuff left and right so I can beat this.

MSCO was kind of amusing.  We were supposed to get through 4 chapters today, but we were only able to get through 2.  We took the professor on whatever tangents we could.  I was hoping to get out early so I would have enough time to drop off my things, but going straight through without a break didn't really work that way.  We did get out like 7 minutes early, but that was weak.  POSC felt like a waste.  It feels like that all the time, but I think it would've been more beneficial for me to sleep.  COM sucked as always too.  But at least this time the professor actually did something.  We got our midterms back and I ended up with an 83.  I thought I had done poorly, but it worked out I guess.  Surprisingly, we went the whole class time for the first time since like the very beginning of the semester.  Normally we're out by 8:15.  Not tonight.

I didn't really do much for a good hour and a half.  I finally started studying for REL around 10, but didn't really know what to study.  I flipped through the chapters and read the bold terms, so I should be okay for the test tomorrow.  We'll see.  There aren't any essays on this one, so that should be nice.

I'm going to be fine tomorrow morning.  My cough will be gone, my neck will feel better, and I won't have any other problems.  Shoot, maybe my optometrist might even call about my glasses.  That would be wonderful!

Today kind of felt like two separate days, none of which were Monday.

I woke up a little later than usual this morning, but still managed to get breakfast before class.  They had biscuit sandwiches, but not the way I like them.  There wasn't any meat in them again, and the egg they used was the scrambled eggs they use for the breakfast special, not the over hard eggs they normally use.  I still ate it though.  Class was interesting, despite Laura's constant complaints, but I had a difficult time staying focused.  I went to bed too late last night I guess.  2:45 is pretty late...  I didn't mean to fall asleep when I got back to my room, but I did.  I think I slept for about 45 minutes or so.

When I woke up, Katy and I made our way down to the tennis courts to get us some free In-N-Out.  I had to wait for my order though, since I didn't want cheese.  My life would be so much easier if I just liked orange cheese.  We also got hooked up with some free t-shirts.  Free food and free t-shirts are the way to go.  We watched a little bit of the tennis matches and then made our way back up to Hayes.

A while back Erin had ordered the original Parent Trap for me since I had never seen it.  When Katy and I got back from the tennis match, the DVD was sitting underneath the door with a note saying to watch it... now.  So I did.  I like the Lindsey Lohan one better, but whatev.  Both of them are too long.  And I didn't bother with the sequel.  It looked too cheesy from the very beginning.  I spent the rest of the day, up until a smidge after 7, watching The Office.  Katy and I went down to caf for dinner, and when I got back, Laura and I watched the finale of The Secret Life of the American Teenager.  It was a lame finale, but that's okay.  I can't wait for it to start up again.

I should've spent all day reading instead of watching TV, but oh well.  I'm not going to bother reading for MSCO, I finished reading 2 weeks worth of COM, and I still need to read for POSC...

Today was wonderful.

I slept in probably until close to 1.  I can't remember the last time I was able to do that.  But that also meant that I missed mass again.  Whoops.  I started season 5 of The Office, showered, ate some cereal, and watched The Office up until I got to episode 11.  I'm almost all caught up.  I surfed around online for a good while too.  Probably until 7 when we left.

Last night I made kind of a random remark about seeing I Love You, Man.  Katy agreed.  Then we got on the topic of The Cheesecake factory, either before or after the movie remark, I don't remember, so we decided to eat there too.  So that's what we did tonight.  We got a little lost on our way to dinner, but we eventually found it around 8:15.  I ended up getting the shepherd's pie that Erin and Daniel always get, and I'm glad I did.  It was delicious.  And it was a huge portion so I have some leftovers for tomorrow.  

After dinner Katy and I made our way over to the movies.  I love Paul Rudd, so I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  It was funny and sweet all at the same time.  When we got back to campus, we made a quick little pit stop at Hero's Garden since Katy hadn't been there yet.  We didn't stay for very long since it was freezing, but she got the jist of it.  There was absolutely no parking, so I had to park on the street across from RHO.  At least I didn't have to park all the way down by the track this time... and I didn't have to bring in a drunk girl.

Now I'm about to have some dessert.

off the wall

Songfest, all day.

Woke up around 11, got ready, ate around 12:30, and then went to the holding room around 1.  We were supposed to be in the same room we were in the other night, where my REL class is, but they changed it so we could have an actual functional room.  Everyone was pretty dead before this afternoon's show.  It was a total different vibe then the evening shows, but we were still able to rock it out.  At intermission I get a message from my dad confirming that we were the group right after intermission.  We're the group right before intermission, so I corrected him.  He texts me back saying that they missed it.  That got me upset and made me not want to go out to lunch with them even more than I already didn't want to.  After the finale I book it back to my room to change, in case I had to go out, and then my dad calls.  He was kidding about the whole missing my performance thing.  Not funny.  At all.  I wasn't really hungry yet, so I told him to take my sister and his dad out to eat and I'd just eat later, which I did.  Terrible Saturday buffet.

Tonight's show was an even more different vibe than all the other shows.  I've been in a funky mood for the past few days so I wasn't the best example of an amped Gamma Ghkkkkket-er, but pretty much everyone else was excited.  I was just on my laptop trying to get through season 4 of The Office, which I finished about a half hour ago.  Our performance tonight had a huge amount of energy from everyone giving their all.  Unfortunately, I made a few mistakes in the very beginning.  But it was all at once towards the end of the song, so I think I was fine.  After intermission we embarked on a Gamma Ghkkkkket Sigma tradition, which shall remain secret, and then came back to wait around for the finale.  The finale was extra long with all the introductions and extra awards, and because of the Sweepstakes award.  I was pretty anxious about who was going to win between KTD and GGS, but GGS prevailed and was named the winners.  It was really nice to see everyone so happy.  It kind of reminded me of Band Jam.  But I'm used to winning Sweepstakes in everything, not to sound cocky, so it wasn't all that big of a deal.  We were having a party after the show, but I just came back to my room to watch The Office.  Lame right?  But I didn't want to be a downer at the party.  I wouldn't have been much fun.  I haven't been much fun lately.  I hope my convo with Rebecca helps...

I'll be able to communicate effectively and correctly one day.  One day I will be able to communicate easily with whomever I choose to communicate with.  One day I will be able to say what is on my mind without having to analyze every single aspect and possible consequence.

Go on, say it

Songfest is draining all of my energy this week.  It took a lot of effort to get up this morning.  I'm sure I could've slept in, but I told Erin I'd go to convo with her.  And I'm sure she would've realized what was going on if I wasn't around when she came back from class, but I didn't want to do that.

Convo was fine.  The one where Todd spoke is still my favorite.  I would've loved to have fallen back asleep when I got back from chapel, but I had that press release to finish.  It wasn't as bad as I though it would be and I was done by noon.  I watched yesterday's 30 Rock and started the fourth season of The Office before I had to leave for class.

MSCO was pretty good today.  Our guest speaker was interesting and spoke about life in a media agency.  Apparently that's where advertising is going.  In 10-15 years, creative agencies will be obsolete.  That's good for me I guess since I wanted to be an account exec anyway.  I'm really glad that he was able to show up today.  If he didn't show I would've had to have given a presentation on something that I whipped up in 30 minutes last week.  Maybe now I'll get to prepare a little.

After class I finished disk one of The Office and then passed out.  I don't know how long I was asleep, but it felt really good and I could've slept for much longer.  I woke up at 5:30 and went down to the caf for dinner.  I really wanted chicken, but it's Friday, so I settled for cheese pizza.  How I love being Catholic.  I got ready for Songfest when I got back and waited around for Laura and Amber.  I didn't have much time to do anything before our run through, so that was nice.  I've been kind of bored the past few days.  I think our performance tonight was our best one yet.  But that's been the case all week.  We're just getting better and better.  JD gave a great speech before we went on that got everyone fired up and ready to "kick some asteroid."  I really hope we win.  But I'll be happy if KTD wins too.  After our performance things got boring again.  My i-pod didn't have any battery so I had to sit around and act interested in Amber's stories.  Brutal.

I watched more of The Office when I got back to Hayes, and now I think I'm going to go to bed.  I get to sleep in until noon tomorrow, so that should be nice.

The other night I realized that I think of so many things to say, but I never say them.  When I think of them and I'm about to say them, I think about what would happen if I say it, and by then the moment's gone or I've convinced myself not to say it.  It's good that I have a filter and don't just blurt things out, but I think this is just a bit too much.

Kites

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Let's go

Fly a kite!

I love that song =]

I knew today was going to be a great day.  I was uber tired and didn't want to wake up again, but the thought of breakfast and my HUM test kept me going.  The caf had their wonderful biscuit sandwiches this morning, so that was the instance that started off my wonderful day.  And they used white cheese this time, so that was an even better sign.  It would've been even better had it been made with sausage instead of ham, but it was still good.  And I did well on my HUM test just as I expected to.  I only missed 1 question on the multiple choice and I got an 8 on the essay, adding up to a 96%.  

I had originally planned on going back to sleep when I got back from class, but I ended up watching The Office all the way up until class at 4.  Daniel brought me the DVD box sets the other day so I don't have to watch the ones with subtitles online, so it makes it way easier.  I just have 2 more episodes for season 3 and then I'm on to season 4.

POSC was boring again, even though we got out a smidge early.  Katy and I grabbed some dinner, went back up to our room, and then I got ready for Songfest.  I went down by myself since Laura didn't want to show up until 7.  We were in a tiny holding room tonight, so doing our run through was interesting.  We did well again tonight, everything was sharp according to Alex, but our energy level was low.  I'm blaming it on the crowd.  They weren't very responsive tonight.  My mom and my grandma enjoyed the show too.  I'm glad they were able to come.

After Songfest Katy and I made an In-N-Out run and a Ralphs run.  I love In-N-Out.  I wasn't a big fan of driving tonight though.  It was extremely foggy.  It was foggy all day today, which is weird considering it has been gorgeous for the past two days.

I just realized that I have a press release to write for MSCO tomorrow.  Not cool.  I'm considering just doing it tomorrow, but idk...

who you gonna run to?

I have been tired all day today.

Again, I didn't want to wake up.  Technically I didn't have to since I didn't have class until 2, but I was going to convo, so I kind of had to wake up.  Convo was boring for sure.  I could have fallen asleep if I had let myself.  I don't even really remember what it was the speaker was talking about.  Something about heaven and how it's not the pearly gates and golden streets deal that everyone thinks it is.  Then I zoned out...

I would've loved to have fallen back asleep when we got back to Hayes, but I needed to finish reading for REL and do laundry.  Oh how I love doing laundry.  Just kidding.  Well, no, I do kind of like doing laundry.  It's just the folding part that I don't enjoy.  I finished reading and doing my laundry just in the nick of time for class.  REL has been lagging on the interesting scale lately.  I think it's because for the past few weeks we've been bombarded with tons of information from our reading that we really can't afford to make class interesting.  We still got out a few minutes early though, so that was nice.

I booked it back to Hayes since I had enough time for a nap before dinner, but that nap didn't happen.  I got a little distracted.  I did relax for a few minutes though.  I just wish I would've been able to sleep.  I bet it would have done some good.  Dinner was fine.  I had pizza.  Nothing special.  We got back a smidge after 6, I was ready to go to the GGS holding room by 6:30, but I waited for Laura to finish getting ready.  I think we ended up getting there by 7.

I wasn't all that into Songfest tonight.  I don't know why, but I was kind of down again tonight.  I think it's because I need to spill to Rebecca, but I just haven't had the time.  And I think that spilling would put a damper on my day too.  So either way it's lose lose.  I should probably call her tomorrow though.  GGS did well again tonight.  Everyone loved the stomp, so that was a good sign.  Judging starts tomorrow, which is unfortunate since Tyler is going to be at a volleyball game.  He's one of the reasons why our show is so great.  He's so funny.

I think I might actually go to bed soon, but maybe not.  I think I'm going to think about things for a few minutes.  But that might get me more in a down mood.  Yeah, I need to talk to Rebecca...  I need to fix this somehow, and ASAP.

Round 1

Early start considering it was a Tuesday.

I woke up at 9, ate, showered, and then started studying for POSC.  I got through 1 chapter, but I knew if I didn't lay down soon, I wouldn't be able to retain any information.  I ended up taking a 45 minute nap, that I wish was much longer, but it helped.  I finished up studying the next 3 chapters and then got ready for MSCO.  I have a big project coming up in that class that my partner and I haven't even talked about, so I'm pretty nervous about it.  I'm sure we'll be able to BS it though.  Class ran a little long so I booked it down to POSC.  I made it in plenty of time and finished my test quickly too.  There were some questions that I totally knew the answer to, but I had no clue on a few of them.  Hopefully I do well enough.  If not, it's a good thing there's always extra credit.

Katy and I ate dinner in the caf, a special St. Patrick's Day buffet, and were back in Hayes by like 5:30ish.  It wasn't early enough to take another nap, but i still had enough time to lay down for a few minutes and do nothing.  Our call time was 6:30 for Songfest, which was pretty early, but kind of not considering all of the work we were able to get done.  I tried to do some reading for REL before and after our performance, but it was hard with all of the excited people and music going on.  We rocked the show again, and replies from the audience confirmed that it's between GGS and KTD.

I didn't do much afterwards besides read for REL, eat a pizza from the HAWC, and watch The Secret Life with Laura.  And now I think I'm going to bed.  I need to finish reading for REL tomorrow, but I should have time while I'm doing laundry.

Underdog to the Rescue

GGS blew everyone away at dress rehearsal tonight.

This morning started with HUM.  Unfortunately, it didn't start the way I wanted it to.  I was hoping for a biscuit sandwich, but they were serving pancakes, and I was hoping for our tests back, but they'll be ready on Thursday.  Our lecture was on the short side today, I think we were out by 11:10, so I swung over to One Stop to see if they sold Knott's Berry Farm tickets.  They don't.  They sell Knott's Scary Farm tickets, Disneyland tix, Magic Mountain tix, and Seaworld tix, but no tickets just for plain ol' Knott's.  I asked my to see if she could tickets cheap from her work, which she can, so that works out extremely well.  And they don't expire, so if our plans happen to fall through, which I hope they won't, we'll be okay.

I spent the afternoon watching more of The Office, I'm halfway through the third season, and I was waiting for a special phone call.  The package with the astronaut jumpsuits were supposed to come this morning, but they hadn't.  Laura was supposed to pick them up once they got delivered, but she put me in charge since she had class from 2-6.  The package came around 4, and Natalie, Kaitlyn, and I worked on gluing the NASA patches and the flags on them.  they turned out really well.  I'm glad we were able to get them on in time for the dress rehearsal.

I was really nervous, scared even, for how well, or not so well, we would do, but we ended up doing great.  We disregarded the first two groups right away.  We knew we were better than them.  As soon as we got on stage our show magically came together and everything just happened the way it should have.  We definitely have a chance to win.  Katy's group did really well too.  They weren't the best singers, but they looked really good on stage.  They're the ones to beat.  DG and Psi U did well too, but not as well as GGS and KTD.  I'll be very surprised if they win.

We ran through the show 4 more times after the dress rehearsal and we got better each time.  I can't imagine how good we'll be by the time Thursday rolls around.  That's when it actually starts to count.  

rabbits?

Random title.

I didn't go to mass this weekend for the third time.  The first time was when I was up in SLO and didn't get back in time, and the second time was last weekend when I was on that Vegas trip with the bball team and we didn't get back in time.  This weekend I really didn't see the point.  I'm not fooling anyone by going to mass every weekend.  It's not making me into a better person.  I feel the same about church as I did before I started going every weekend since school started.  If I feel the need to go, I'll go.  If I feel like I need to sleep, like I did this morning, I'll sleep.

I spent the morning, more like afternoon, watching more of The Office until it was time for set load-in at 2:20.  They didn't need our help after all, so I came back to Hayes and watched more of The Office.  We had our second orchestra rehearsal, which went well, but I was more excited about it yesterday.  It still feels real though.  I came back to Hayes, finished the second season of The Office, and then went down to the caf around 6:30 with Katy to get some dinner.  I think that was the first time I had eaten at the caf since we got back from break.  On the way to the hall we passed by Laura and her new boy and I asked her why she didn't go to orchestra rehearsal earlier.  She didn't know about it.  Then I asked if she would be at practice later.  She said, "Yeah, at 10 right?"  So I corrected her and told her we had tech at 7:50 and rehearsal 9-11.  She didn't go to tech and was late to rehearsal.  It's that boy.  So much for taking things slow.

Tech ran long, but we needed to get everything right.  Rehearsal ran long too, but we needed it.  Our first run through is tomorrow and I'm a little nervous, but I think we'll do great and blow everyone away with our amazing vocals.  That's our strongest asset for sure.  And I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone else's shows too.  Especially KTD's.

Expectations

I planned things out again.  And I got excited about those plans.  

And what happened?

Those plans fell through.

Alex showed up to practice today and didn't use the choreography Rachel and I were planning to teach today.  Our dance turned out fine, but I think it would've been better if we used the choreography that we did last night.  Whatever though.  We finished and that's all that matters.  We ran through everything a few times, which took longer than we had planned, but we needed it.  We need to run through everything as many times as possible in order to get be ready for the show next week.  As of right now, we aren't ready.

Between rehearsal this morning and orchestra rehearsal, I just chillaxed and watched more of The Office.  Orchestra rehearsal was awesome.  The music sounds awesome, we sounded awesome, and it's beginning to feel real to me.  I knew we were planning a whole production that we'd be performing, but hearing the music made it real for me.  And the band said we had the best singers and the best music, so that's really good for us.

After orchestra I pretty much just sat around and watched more of The Office.  When I got tired of sitting around, around 10, I left to go to In-N-Out.  I decided I wasn't hungry, so I drove past the exit.  I got off at an exit that sounded familiar, but it wasn't the exit I thought it was.  I drove around trying to find something familiar, but it was useless.  I got way turned around and gave myself a time limit to find out where I was.  I almost called Laura and then I realized where I was.  My sense of direction worked out tonight because I made it back safely.  

Laura was nowhere to be found tonight, so I was stuck with watching SNL by myself.  It wasn't all that funny, but I only caught the last 45 minutes of it, so maybe the first half was funny.  Idk.

I feel kind of down tonight for some reason.  I don't know why.  I don't really have anything to be down about.  I think that's part of why I kept driving.  I needed to think about things.  I needed to clear my head about things.  But that only lasted a little bit since I got lost.  Trying to get back home took up a lot of my thinking energy.  I still feel really bad about my communication issues though.  I just wish I was able to communicate with the people that are important to me.

**3:09 AM

I've hit a wall.  I thought I was doing so well in the beginning, and I think I was doing well considering how I was in high school, but I've come to a stand still.  I know what needs to be done communications wise, I just don't know how to get there.  It tears me up inside that I can't communicate the way I want with the people I want.  

I had no problem talking to the people in Vegas that I had pretty much just met.  And they were drunk, so it double didn't make any sense.  I just don't understand why I can't change my perspective around so that I'm actually functional.  I know what I want.  I don't know how to get what I want.

I think I need to talk to Rebecca...

step in time

Early start, but not really.

I woke up at 8:25 to register at 8:30, which went well, thank goodness.  I wasn't motivated to stay up, so I fell back asleep until 11.  I finished up my presentation and got ready for the rest of my day.

MSCO was fine.  We had a guest speaker who mostly talked about the octo-mom.  I had rehearsal an hour later and didn't really feel like having to go all the way down and then all the way up, so I just stayed up at the CCB.

Rehearsal went extremely well.  We finally finished one of the dances and I think it's going to blow everyone away.  Seriously.  We didn't get everything done that we needed to get done, but that's okay.  We still were able to get a run through in.

After rehearsal I started watching The Office.  Laura said I should get into it, so I took her up on it.  It's pretty funny.  I had to take a break to help Rachel and Laura choreograph the rest of the song we haven't learned yet, and I think that's going to turn out well too.  I get to help teach it tomorrow, which will hopefully turn out well too.

Shwaw

Hmm... what to write about today?

I finally went to bed last night around 5, but I couldn't really fall asleep right away.  It might have been the Doubleshot.  It took a little longer than usual to fully wake up and get out of bed, but I did it.  And I'm glad because Erin and Laura weren't here in case I didn't wake up.  I was hoping for a biscuit sandwich this morning for breakfast, but they were serving french toast instead.  I'm not a huge fan of their french toast.  And they had grits instead of oatmeal, so that was a no go.  I finally decided on the breakfast pizza.  The breakfast pizza is good, but it's kind of weird at the same time.  I think I like it, but I'm not positive.  After I ate I made my way into HUM to take the test.  I'm pretty sure I aced it.  I feel really good about it.

After the test I came back and chillaxed for a few minutes, showered, and then got to work on my POSC essay.  It definitely is not the best essay I've ever written, but it was good enough.  It was a smidge too long as well, but I really don't care.  It's done.  I tried starting on my MSCO presentation before POSC, but that didn't really work out.  I mean, I guess I kind of started, but not really.  POSC was boring of course, but I got a few things out of it today.  Not too shabby.

After POSC I tried to get more work done, but that didn't work out all that well either.  I read for MSCO, but that was it.  I was too tired to do anything else and I didn't have time to take a nap, so I was kind of screwed.  

Songfest.  Oh Songfest.  Rehearsal was really fun and full of energy tonight, but we didn't get as much done as I would've liked.  We finished the dance we started learning last night, but we still have two other dances to finish.  Mine and another group one.  Alex won't be here this weekend, so we have to work our asses off tomorrow.  I hope we get it done...

Doubleshot

It's starting to kick in.

Perfect timing too.  I just finished my POSC paper up to the point where I wanted to finish tonight, and now I need to start studying for my HUM midterm tomorrow morning.  Fun!

I did not want to wake up at all this morning.  I was contemplating not waking up, but I had told Katy that I'd go with her to convo, and since she was already up, I couldn't just not go.  So I forced myself to get up, get ready, and walk down to the fieldhouse.  It was worth it though.  Some Watoto (?) children's choir from Uganda came and performed.  It was fun and a little overwhelming all at the same time.  They sounded great and all looked great and were synchronized and everything.  A little It's a Small World-ish though.  

After convo I should have been productive and worked on my essay, but I was way too sleepy for that.  My sleepiness won me over and I took a nap until like 1:20.  I went down to the caf before class and got some nasty Chinese food and watched the Manchester United game until it was time to go to class.  REL just isn't going the way I'd like it to.  The professor is really nice and all, but she doesn't cover the material as well or as in depth as she should and a lot of the things we do in class just seems like time killers.  It's a three hour class and we could be getting lots done, but we're just given brief overviews of what we read the night before and are told to answer a broad question in a group of 5.  Not very helpful if you ask me.

After class I started outlining my essay, but that didn't last all that long.  I got distracted and talked to Laura about hysterectomies and vasectomies for some weird reason.  I don't even know how we got on the subject, but we got pretty curious about them really fast so did some research until we were satisfied/grossed out.  I hung out in there until it was time for spacing rehearsal.  It was unfortunate that only about half the people showed, but I think it was beneficial anyway.  Hopefully we'll get to use the stage again with everyone sometime before Monday.

After staging I came back and got to work on my essay.  I didn't get as far as I would've liked to before rehearsal, but I got far enough.  Rehearsal went really well tonight.  We powered through learning half of a dance, performed the whole show the producers and announcers, and then tried to finish learning the dance that we had started.  That didn't turn out so well.  People were tired and were overly talkative so Alex kind of got mad and told everyone to leave.  Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.  It needs to be more productive.

Like I said earlier, I muscled through most of my essay.  All that's left is a little spiel about marching band leadership, and I'm done.  I can do that tomorrow no problem.  I just need to study now.  Ugh...

numbers

Again, no time for anything today.

I woke up around 10, ate, studied for COM, watched/listened to The Secret Life, showered, studied for COM, checked my mail, and then finally went to my first class.

MSCO is by far my favorite class, not only for the content, but for the professor.  Professor Rosenkrans is wonderful.  She is just so into what she does and she genuinely cares for her students.  Even if the day is going slow and I'm stressing out about things, Rosenkrans just brightens up my day.  We got our midterm grades back today, which I was worried about since the average was 70, but I got above average and I'll have an 88 in the class after I turn in my assignment on Friday.  That 3.2 is looking fairly close.  I just need to bump up all of my B+'s to A's and I'm golden.

POSC wasn't too brutal today, but it was still boring as usual.  Josh and I were texting before class, and I'm sure we would've continued if he wasn't sitting in the very front row.  I'd love to get to know him more and spend time with him, but I don't want to get my hopes up for something that probably won't happen.

As for COM and my midterm, I don't know how well that turned out.  I think I did okay, but I'm not positive.  Fingers crossed.

I was done with my test by like 7:30 and got straight to reading for REL.  I read parts of what I was supposed to read last night, so I kind of gave up.  I'll just pay extra attention in class tomorrow.

Then I went to rehearsal early since I didn't go yesterday, but it was a waste.  They only tweaked a few things yesterday, so I was basically sitting out in the cold for 45 minutes.  Lame.  Practice went really well though.  We ran through the 2.5 dances we have done and learned .75 of another dance.  Now we just need to finish my dance, finish the one we started tonight, and learn the last one.  I'm starting to get scared that we won't finish, but I know we will.  It will come together and look great.  I just can't believe that opening night is already next Tuesday.  That's ridiculously soon.

And I heard of two themes tonight.  I don't know if they're legit or what, but they're definitely generic ones.  Cowboys and Construction.  Supposedly Katy and Erin's group are construction workers, but we'll see if that's really their theme.

RELief

I slept very nicely last night, but for too long.  I woke up around 1:30, but even waking up at 1 would have made a huge difference in my day.  I spent all day, I mean all day, working on my stupid paper for REL.  I probably went way too far into depth and probably did it wrong, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.  5 pages better get me an A, even if it isn't done correctly.

Songfest rehearsal was at its usual time, but I was still working on my paper, so I didn't go.  I probably should have gone after I finished my paper, but I wasn't really in the mood for it.  I'm behind, so I need to catch up tomorrow.  I'm not sure what we were learning tonight, but I know we're learning stuff, so whoopsies.

After I finished my paper I went down to Ralphs to get some things.  Milk, cereal, oatmeal, IcyHot, and coffee.  I have lots of shit to get done and not a whole lot of time to do it.  I need to read to POSC and MSCO and study for my COM midterm for tomorrow.  I need to buy an exam book tomorrow too.  I can't forget.

sweetheart

I watched the sunrise over Las Vegas this morning through the bathroom window as I was taking a shower this morning.  Kind of cute, but I was super drained.  I didn't see much use in getting in pajamas and going to sleep for an hour, so I got dressed and got ready for my day.  Jo woke up at 9, got showered and ready to go uber fast, and then we headed down to get some breakfast.  We were planning on getting something in the buffet or food court or something like that, but we stopped dead in our tracks when we passed the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.  They had breakfast stuff!  We each got a blueberry muffin, headed back up to our room to get our stuff, and then loaded up the bus.  We left pretty close to 10:30.

Josh and I had been flirting all night, hard core, but I wasn't sure if he'd even remember me in the morning.  He did.  He sat behind me in the bus and talked to me for a little bit, but he was still gone and passed out pretty soon after we left.  And that was the end of our little bus convo.  I'd really like to talk to him more and spend more time with him, but I'm not getting my hopes up for anything.

Everyone pretty much passed out on the bus as soon as we left the hotel, but I pulled out Hardball and read.  I made it all the way to part 2.  Who-ray for me.  We made it to Barstow for lunch at around 1:15 and were back on the road by 1:50.  I spent the rest of the ride home listening to music and watching the scenery change.  We finally made it back to campus at around 4:30.

I'm so glad to be back.  I missed school, Katy, Erin, Laura, Laura, and plenty of other people.  Ever since we got back I've been way too tired to do much of anything productive.  I'm just not functioning properly.  That just means I have extra to do tomorrow since I didn't get to do much today.  And songfest rehearsal was kind of a waste.  We just ran through stuff.  I thought for sure we'd be learning new things.  Whatev.

I hope I get to hang out with Josh and Ashley again.  They're fun people, even if they get drunk and high.  I won't get too messed up if I hang out with them again.  I was barely even effected last night.  I'm no lightweight like Jo.  She barely had anything and she was feeling it right away.  It was funny.  I love watching drunk people.  Especially ones named Rebecca that rap.

3/8 3:35 AM

OMG, what a day.  Seriously.

We woke up at noon, which felt much earlier, and were out by 1.  The women's quarterfinal game started around 2, and I was hoping for them to advance, but I was hoping for a loss at the same time.  We were playing really well the first half, but USD wanted it more and came back to beat us in the end.

After the game Jo and I went to eat at this fancy-ish restaurant and ate an awesome dinner.  We came back to our room and waited around until 7, when we had to meet up for the men's quarterfinal game.  Jo took a nap and I started to read Hardball.  Woo!

The men's game was a joke.  It was embarrassing for sure.  Portland slaughtered the hell out of us.  Jo and I were planning on going to the strip and finding some dessert, but that didn't happen...

At the last minute we decided to go to a strip club with Ashley, Bonnie, Josh, and Alessandro.  It's Vegas.  Why not?  So we get there in a limo, sit down and freak out a bit, then go back to this private room where we smoked hooka.  I don't know if that negates my straight edge-ness or what.  But I do miss being around that atmosphere...  After a while Blake and Braxton showed up and hung out with us and then we all took a taxi back to the hotel at like 3:15.

We're supposed to get our room checked pretty soon and then go drink in someone's room.  I think I'm going to shower though.  I need to.  I smell like smoke.

**6:22

Straight edge no more.  I didn't drink much at all, but I drank.  And Josh is a cutie for sure.  I just wish we were on equal levels of intoxication...

3/7 1:20 AM

Long ass day for sure.  I woke up at 6 this morning, ate some oatmeal, showered, and was down at the fieldhouse by 7:15 like we were supposed to.  Of course people were late so we didn't end up leaving school until about an hour after we were supposed to.  And Malibu Canyon was closed, so that didn't help either.  I started and finished reading The Prince well before we hit Barstow.  We stopped there to eat and were back on the road by 12:15.  On the way to Barstow I didn't talk to anyone because I was reading and listening to music.  On the rest of the trip I didn't talk to anyone until we got into Nevada, but even then I didn't talk too much.

We finally got to the hotel at 3, when we were supposed to get there at 12, and we didn't get to our rooms until even later.  I'm rooming with Jo, who I had never talked to before today, but she is totally chill.  At 5 we went down to the parking lot and played for this stupid pep rally tailgate thing and then afterwards we hung out in Jackie and Jordan's room and chatted with them until the game.

We played USF, who we lost to the last time we played them, but we won this time, advancing to play Portland tomorrow.  After the game Jo and I met up with Alessandro and Wes and hung out with them for the rest of the night.  We at ate TGI Fridays, went to 31 Flavors, and then came back to our rooms. 

I'm definitely spent.  I've been awake for too long and I'm barely functioning.

Weasle

No time today.

I woke up 20 minutes later than I had planned, which is no big deal, but it might have made all the difference in my day.

I took a shower, loaded up my car, and was out the door by 10:30.  I swung over to Walgreens to pick up my pictures and then I headed towards my grandparents' house.  I was planning on spending an hour or so with them since I didn't think I'd see them before I left.  That didn't turn out so well.  As I was on my way I heard a loud POP, like if I had run over a bottle or something.  I looked in my mirrors and didn't see anything, so I didn't think much of it.  When I got out of the car at my grandparents' house, I heard a loud hissing coming from my rear tire.  It was losing air and fast.  My grandpa filled it back up and then I rushed over to a tire place to get a new one put on.  That was the only time I saw my grandpa today.  Sad.

Putting the new tire on didn't take much time at all, so I went to go get the car washed before my haircut.  I was hoping Greg would be working so I wouldn't have to pay, but he wasn't there.  That's okay though.  I was a little worried I wouldn't make it to my appointment on time, but I did.  And I beat Nicole.  As I expected, she saw my tattoo and asked a million questions.  As soon as she heard that my grandma didn't know about it, she said she wasn't going to be the one to tell her, so that's good.  My hair is definitely shorter and lighter, which is what I wanted, and I can see out of my right eye again.  My bangs grew out way too fast, so I'm glad they're short again.

After my haircut I went over to the mall to look for shoes for my dress.  No luck.  I went and found my mom on her route to pick up her paycheck so I could deposit it for her.  I like finding her when she's working.  It's like Where's Waldo.  After I did the bank stuff I went to eat at my grandparents' house.  As soon as I told my grandma I didn't find any shoes, she took me to several different places to look.  No luck again.  I'll find the shoes I want somewhere, someday.  Just not for this weekend I guess.

When my mom got off work I went back home to meet her.  We just hung out and ate dinner and I left for school a smidge before 8 and got to school a smidge before 9.  I unpacked and then repacked, and I should be getting to bed now since I have to wake up early, but oh well.  I have a few more things to do.

It's really weird here without anyone.  I'm the only one in D suite and I think there's one other girl in Hayes.  Very lonely.  I miss everyone.

Beadz

Another semi-productive day.
My mother and I deposited some money into my account, nothing special, and then we ended up at Applebees for lunch. I wasn't sure where I wanted to eat and I had never been to Applebees before, so we decided to give it a try. It was good, but I won't be disappointed if I don't eat there again. After lunch my mom and I went to the mall to exchange a sweatshirt my grandma got me for my birthday. I liked the sweatshirt, but it was a large and I normally wear extra larges. Unfortunately, Hollister doesn't make extra larges anymore. I guess I just won't be wearing any more of their sweatshirts, unless of course I lose 20 pounds, but that won't happen. I ended up exchanging the sweatshirt for a polo and a v-neck, so the Hollister trip wasn't a bust. Before we left the mall I wanted to get something for Vegas just in case I went out. I was planning on getting a nice top but ended up getting a pretty little black dress. I needed a little black dress anyway, so it worked out.

I forgot to get some other things though. I meant to check the Gap for something since I had a giftcard, I meant to look for a poster or two for my empty wall, and I meant to look for shoes for my dress. I have shoes that will match, but I want something a little different. Maybe I'll swing by the mall after my haircut tomorrow.

On the way home we were going to watch a movie, but we would have had to wait longer than the movie itself, so we opted out. We went home to my grandparents' house instead. Before I knew it, we were home. I haven't done much beside eat and pack, but I think I'm done for the evening. I need to wake up early. I need to shower, pick up the pictures I ordered from Walgreens, visit my grandparents, go get my haircut, get some shoes, and hopefully pick up my glasses. My optometrist hasn't called yet, but I need my new glasses. I won't be able to get them until Thursday if I can't get them tomorrow.

Semi

I actually did more than just sit around today. Woo.
I woke up at 10 and got ready, assuming that my mom and I would leave for lunch at 11:30 like we had planned last night. It kinda worked out that way, but 11:30 turned into close to 12:30. Lunch at Aculpulco was okay, but it would've been better if they had those corn tamales that I loved. I ate until I was stuffed regardless of their lack of tamales and then headed off to Yorba Linda with my mom.

I don't remember when we got to the Nixon Library, but we spent at least an hour and a half walking around. I had been there in 8th grade for a concert, but we weren't allowed to walk around through the exhibits or anything, so it was like visiting for the first time. I probably would have never went if it weren't for the POSC extra credit aspect of it, but I'm glad I ended up going. I learned a lot of things about Nixon and his family that I had no clue about. I'm contemplating whether or not I should do my reflection about it tonight or not. I might as well while it's fresh in my mind. And it only has to be a page so it won't take very long.

On the way back from the Library my mom and I made a few stops. Lamps Plus= bust. Random lamp place= success. Target= success. Home Depot= success.

Once we got to my grandparents' house I felt like I had never been gone. I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing. My mom and I plopped ourselves on the couch like we usually would do, my grandma got us plates of food, and then we ate. I shouldn't have eaten all of that food though. I was still full from lunch and could have survived without eating for an hour or two. I need to start working out again because I'm starting to feel a little on the flabby side and I don't like it. The only thing different about my grandparents' house is that my uncle moved in. He lost his job a few months ago, so he moved from his apartment in downtown LA back into his parents' house. Not so glamorous. After dinner my mom and I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I love that movie. I need to find myself a Nick, or a Paulie Bleeker. After the movie my mom wanted to watch American Idol, so we did for a bit, and then we came home... and I've been on the computer ever since. If I don't do my reflection, I'm going to watch W. I bought it at Target.

Going back to Nick/Paulie Bleeker, Daniel and I talked again tonight. I remember I saw him the night Rebecca and I went to go see Juno. It was right after he had pulled the "just kidding about prom" deal on me. I was starting to fall for him again, and I thought he was too, but I was wrong. That night Daniel asked how I liked the movie and I told him that I wanted a Paulie Bleeker. He told me he'd be my Paulie Bleeker if I'd be his Juno. Cute, but not coming from the guy who had turned out to be a douche. But I'm way over it now. We've been talking kind of a lot lately, and I don't know if I want to develop feelings for him. Summer's coming fairly soon, which means we'll both be home, which means we'll probably hang out, which may lead to other things. But I don't know if the third time will be the charm with this guy. I miss him, and I miss how cute we were together, but I don't know if he's my Paulie Bleeker.

Subcompact

I sat around again today.

I woke up around 11, which isn't all that bad now that I think about it. It's just 2 hours off from when I normally wake up on Mondays. But I guess 2 hours is a long time. I was immediately drawn to the computer and was a little weirded out to see that Nathan sent me a friend request on Facebook. It wasn't so much the friend request that weirded me out, but the fact that he was in my dream last night.

My dream: I had flown in to LAX from I don't know where, and Nathan had been on my flight too. We hadn't talked, but when we got off the plane, we went over to some area that was set up like a diner, like Norms. He sat with me, but I was ignoring him. I sent my mom a text asking if I could go to Washington with Katy, who I was expecting to show up any minute, but she never texted me back. I left Nathan to go use a payphone and ended up running into Laura. On my way back to the tables I saw that Katy was sitting with Nathan, so I went to go sit with other people that were sitting with my mom. The end. Weird.

I texted Katy about the Nathan ish and we decided it was best that I deny the friend request. He's bad news. I want nothing more than to not have to deal with him again, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. He causes drama with people and it gets back to me, reinforcing my idea that he hasn't changed at all. I have changed. I'm afraid that if I'm at all connected with Nathan my change will be all for not and we'll just fall into the same cycle again. I don't want that to happen. I feel that it's my fault that he's the way that he is, that it's my fault he's still trying to contact me, and that I can be doing a better job of keeping him away.

I pretty much just spent the rest of the day eating, sleeping, and watching TV. I tried watching W tonight, but it didn't work for some reason. And then I tried watching Palo Alto, an indie movie that I've been trying to find for at least a year, but that didn't work either. Sad.

I was a little productive though. I wrote down some current events for POSC. Tomorrow I'm going to the Nixon Library, so maybe I'll even write my paper about it and start on my essay for REL. I need to contact FBR too. That project is coming way too soon and I haven't done anything for it...

Reality

I definitely slept well last night. My bed here is so much different than my bed at school, but I can't decide which one I like more. When I'm at school I don't miss any of my beds back home, but when I'm here, I miss my bed at school. It may just be the idea of school though, not so much the bed. But I sleep differently when I'm at home too. I rarely use a pillow at school, but I have to sleep with at least one when I'm home. It's weird. But yeah, I slept well last night and didn't wake up until after noon.

I spent all day catching up on the latest reality shows on VH1 and MTV which are funny, but I haven't been missing out. All I'm interested in is SNL, Secret Life, Kath and Kim, and 30 Rock. And if I don't watch them on TV, there's always the internet. My mom and I finally got ready to go somewhere around 6, went to dinner, and came right back home. We had planned on watching W so I could write a paper about it for POSC, but we couldn't order it until the bill was paid. It's always something. We'll watch it tomorrow though.

This afternoon Laura was texting me about housing for next year. We had talked about it before, but she decided to apply early, so she needed to verify some things. Last Sunday on our way to mass we were talking about how Erin was afraid that Laura was going to get a new roommate and become best friends with her and then not want to room together junior year. I told Laura that Katy and I hadn't talked about next year yet, and then she laughed and said that Katy was afraid to ask me in case I didn't want to room together. That's just silly. And then the other day, I think it was Wednesday, we were talking about how we still hadn't discussed rooming together, but then Laura said Katy told her that I had to ask since she asked the first time. I was planning on asking anyway, but this little tidbit put a little more pressure on me. I over analyzed how I was going to go about asking, and never did. But I'm pretty sure we all knew that we were going to room together. So Laura texted me and said to make sure to put her down as a bathroommate and she told Katy to do that too, pretty much sealing that Katy and I are roomming together. Knowing that it was going to come up, I asked Katy if Laura was just super early or if she had applied for housing too. She said she was just super early and asked if we were going to room together. Well of course we were. We should have talked about it earlier instead of dancing around the subject, but that's my fault. I don't talk.

We watched more TV and now I think I'm going to get ready for bed. I'm supposed to see my dad tomorrow and take my car into the detailer to finally get the scrape buffed out. I think that happened in like November. I don't entirely recall. It was about a week after my SLO trip, whenever that was.
