Few and Far Between

In reality, time flies. A few months can seem like nothing, but college has this way of dragging out each second. For some, the homework and exams are endless. It seems like so long since Christmas, but really it’s nothing. We sit back in our hometown for Spring break, for me it’s been rough thus far, but figuring it all out. Tomorrow, I start the babysitting of my foster-sister/cousin. She’s three and a beast when she wants. She’s not the kind to cooperate, but moreover to do what she want, when she wants and how she wants. It’s cute at first to hear her wittiness and see her reactions, but it gets frustrating at times. These times happen to be when she repeats your name getting louder and louder until you answer. Another ‘great’ time happens to be when we put her to bed and after two hours of iCarly, we have to take it away. Oh yeah and then, when she just gets up at 3AM and wanders around before saying “I want Faif (Faith, my mom), I want to talk to her, I looooove her. Cute? Definitely for a few minutes, after ten it’s torture. Don’t get me wrong, I looooove her, too. She is great! Her sense of direction and her observation skills are amazing! My point is that these next two days might be very, very long, and daycare will definitely be my new best friend from 8-4. Otherwise my Spring Break consists of the interwebs, sleep, and homework. Yea, it’s that awesome, be jealous!

I’m stuck in this reminiscent mood. I looked up Super Nintendos and Gamecubes on Ebay. I made a list of my favorite movies/shows from childhood. If you’re a 90′s child, remember CatDog, Rocco’s Modern Life, Ducktales, and believe I could go on forever. ANy interest and I’ll just post the list. This Summer, when I finally have time to do something besides study, I feel like I’m going to delve into the past in so many ways. I’m way overdue on playing and winning my next game of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Not only am I looking to the past, but the movies coming out look great. This Summer and Fall are awesome, at least for me. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Breaking Dawn Part 1, and Xmen First Class! I’m so pumped, and then I’m excited for Jane Eyre, Suckerpunch, and The Smurf Movie! Yikes, there are so many distractions! Also, I can’t wait to watch Dexter this Fall! I’m totally hooked (Best show I’ve ever seen!). Michael and I are getting Six Feet Under from Netflix just because Michael C. Hall is in it too. I used to watch it when it was on and really enjoyed it. I’m so excited for next season! I saw a Rav4 a few weeks ago, and it reminded me of a season 1 episode, I’ve been craving the next season so badly ever since. Obviously I’m super cool, because I see a Rav4 from a bus window and think Dexter. #winning

Musically, I’ve been all over the place, but a little eclectic at this moment. I’ve listened to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for hours now. Also, The Pierces and The Plasticines are definitely in my top ten right now, as is The Audition, which is completely out of place.

I’m seriously all over the place! Ugh, I might lose my mind! I’m proud of this little tidbit though. I’m helping write the Remote Sensing High School Science Olympiad Test with my advisor and a small group of students in Atmospheric Sciences. I used to take those tests and such in high school. It’s definitely a win in my book.

And we finally signed a lease for next year at a great apartment. It’s way bigger and I’m really pumped. How can I possibly wait until August!?

So I’ve shared my current scatterbrained life, so be back soon!

Unofficial, meh

So, the huge news today is that it’s Unofficial. Great. I’m really not so pumped. People get wasted all of the time, why do we need a special day for ridiculous overconsumption of alcohol?! The good thing is the cute shirts, but really if you’re legal, or really in college can’t you do this at anytime? I’m really not into embarrassing public intoxication, it just makes people look so immature, but to each his own, right. I know it’s called “the college experience,” but I get so annoyed seeing people get wasted and barely try at all, and still do well when I work my butt off here. Maybe I’m just an idiot and everyone else is way better than me or they’re exaggerating or way better at guessing things they really don’t know. Whatever it may be, it just is a major pet peeve of mine. What happened to participation points? I’m being such a Debbie Downer, I know. I’ve had an exam, went apartment hunting, and oh joy, I get to go to work in a mere hour. I’m really not looking forward to working from 9:00PM-5:00AM (Stop serving at 3:00 AM) to serve people who are going to be annoying and rude. My typical quote from late night, “No, the bathroom is closed, sorry.” “WTF!” “You definitely can’t go now, congrats.” I foresee this happening double as much tonight. Piece of advice for when you’re the problem, try your best to be polite or I will make you leave, or give you amazingly wicked looks until you do. >:/ Emoticon (ascii?)doesn’t do me justice.

We went apartment hunting, as I mentioned. We found one we really like, but we have another appointment next Friday, and I’m so excited. We drove by one of the places we’re going to view. I really hope it’s great on the inside. Gah! I can’t wait!

Well, huff. Rant and excitement has been expressed.

Later,

Spring Semester and 2 Sweet Games

Well, the spring semester has started. So far, I’ve had ups and downs. Most of my teachers are pretty great. Michael and my Calculus three professor is the exception. He’s not awful, but he tells story after story. Honestly, he’s pretty strange. He compared Calculus to riding a horse. Yea, about that. I have my advisor for a teacher again and he’s great! My gpa goal is really high this semester to make up for my shortcomings last semester. I have five courses, but so far three of them are relatively easy. I’m taking a basic Atmospheric sciences course, Matlab, World Religions, Physics 212 (E and M), and Math 241 (Calc 3). It really doesn’t seem like as heavy a load as last semester.

So  I mentioned Ratchet and Clank a few posts ago, and I still absolutely love it! It’s great. I get so into it and can play for hours. But I have to be careful with my time now =( . Darn. Michael and I found another game that we are absolutely addicted to! It’s called Minecraft, google it. It’s really simple looking, but you get sucked in. It’s really about survival and mining fun things. It’s hard to describe besides awesome. Michael and I have been playing multi-player. We’ve built two awesome homes.

Back to homework, unfortunately.

Be back soon,
