A fine feast

Went out for dinner with Jill tonight. Good ol' McDonald's for us. It was great getting to just sit and talk with her about everything and kinda catch up, because even though we have a class together now, we just sit in class and takes notes, as it's hard to talk in class w/o getting into trouble. So that was really cool. We're definitely going to have to try to do that more often.

Just as I was leaving the dorms so I could call Wes and talk to him (finally), I ran into Amy, who was just getting back to the dorms for the evening, so I went up to her room real quick to check it out, and talked with her for a while about our weekends and whatnot, and by that point I'd missed Wes' call, and he'd already gone to bed. So that's two nights in a row now that we haven't talked on the phone. This sucks.

Tomorrow, though, I hope. Getting tired of this. But I have school all morning tomorrow and work all evening, so that's really going to suck, but then I have the next three days off after that. Three days is almost too much for me because I don't know what to do with myself after a while and just get bored.

Anywho, it's kinda late and I have classes in the AM, so I think I shall go. G'night!

Awww man!

Adam got me set up with this really cool "currently listening" thing right up here. Thanks a bunch Adam, that's awesome, and you're the best. Always wanted something like that, but was too lazy to do anything about it lol.

Had something interesting to tell, but I have since forgotten it. Sorry folks! I hope the most interesting thing that happened to me today WASN'T that I finally bought some more Pepsi. That would be so sad...

Well, I don't really know why I'm writing on here today because I don't have a whole lot to say. I finally got my Kmart discount card at work today (four months after being hired), so that was exciting. It's not that we didn't get discounts for that period of time before we got our discount card, because we were issued a temporary paper one. But this one's just like a gift card or credit card that gets swiped at the registers, and then they don't have to enter in a 15-digit number so you can get your discount.

Anywho, enough of the thrilling talk of work...

On Monday I realized I only had 16 days to read a 230-some page book for my History class. I can read about 10 pages of it before I fall asleep. But today was 30 pages! And maybe some more because I've been reading in spurts, not all at once. Soon as I feel a little sleepy, I turn the TV on or do something else.

God I'm boring.

I need to start getting my portfolio together to apply to the College of Education. That's going to be a big pain in the butt. I don't want to grow up and have to be done with school and be self-sufficient. But I want a bigger apartment. Or to move in with someone who has a bigger apartment.

So my bear, Ben, obviously brought a lot of attention to my little blog. It's 'cause he's so darn cute. I posted them because Stanley, the cutest bear ever, has his own little blog, and I left a message on Stanley's blog about Ben, saying I'd post a picture of Ben, but that was over a month ago. So finally Ben was introduced to the blogging world and met a friend online. Awwwwww, how cute.

Anything But Mine

State Motto: Iowa: We do amazing things with corn
Music: Kenny Chesney - Anything But Mine

This song makes me sad, but I still listen to it every time it comes on the radio or TV. I think I cried the first time I heard it...but that was only a few days after I'd returned home from Tennessee...

Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile

Me and Mary making our way into the night

You can hear the cries from the carnival rides, the pinball

bells, and the skee ball signs

Watching the summer sun fall out of sight



There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean

Making it's way past the hotel walls to fill the street

Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand

Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet



And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine



There's a local band playing at the seaside pavillion

And I got just enough cash to get us in

And as we are dancing, Mary's wrapping her arms around me

And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin



In the midst of the music

I tell her I love her

And we both laugh, cause we know it isn't true

Oh, but Mary, there's a summer drawing to an end tonight

And there's so much that I long to do to you



But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine



And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine



Mary, I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine

Ben, chatting with my friends and planning out the rest of the week for me in my planner.

Ben on my computer, lookin' up bear stuff, I think.

Lovin' It

State Motto: Indiana: 2 Billion Years Tidal Wave Free

So for the last couple of days, near the end of January, the weather has been in the high 50s and 60s. Right now, it is 72 degrees. It is absolutely incredible. And not to mention January. I should be outside. But because I'm so addicted to VH1's Celebreality, I'm sitting inside watching The Surreal Life.

*sigh* I am sad.

I just realized I have a historical book to read by February 9th. That's only 16 days away. Crap. Maybe I will go outside today. Maybe not. I get cold easily haha, and I went out to the park yesterday to read and had to leave 15 minutes later. Wuss.

I'm finally getting over my cold, still have a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough...voice still sounds funny, but I don't feel drained anymore and I'm not getting those stupid hot sweats, either.

Well, that's my update for now. Life hasn't been too exciting lately. That's alright though, I don't mind. Oh, I did learn "Amazing Grace" on my guitar. Hehe.
