It's Friday...A-WOOHOO!!

I decided that instead of watching the news this morning and getting informed of what's going on in the world, that I would post. I am excited that it is Friday...all I have to do is make it through 2 more classes and this loooooooooong week will be over.

I'm so excited..I bought flowers. They're so pretty and they were only a $1. They're two-toned, purple carnations....I love carnations. I should have gotten another bunch...my purple ones look kinda lonely.

So, watched the 2nd to last Friends last night...and cried. I am so gonna be crying next week. It's just so sad...I love that freaking show. Definitely gonna miss it.

No big plans for the weekend...of course there is homework to do, that is a given, but other than that it's all up in the air. One of my roommates went to Vegas this weekend...Wish I could go to Vegas. This weekend is also the race in Fontana, which isn't TOO far from here...wish I could go there too.

K, I just wanted to do a short little blurb here...have a great day everyone!

I really should get on the ball when it comes to posting. I've been doing really bad lately.

I haven't been up to much, I seem to have another busy week ahead of me...which is normal, I mean why would it be any other way? School is just dying to drive me insane. I have a proposal for a children's TV show to write and probably 100 pages of reading to do for two classes, the majority for one class. I also have to finish up some research and put together PowerPoint presentation, which I am actually looking forward to. I've always liked doing those.

Once again, there is another "new to me" hard drive in my computer...and thanks once again to Merc. I'm really just ready for a new computer, but I decided there is no need for me to worry about it or think about what I want because I don't have the money anyway...and what I do have I am trying to save to go towards my downpayment for the dorms next year.

I was thinking this morning...although I really need money, I am SO glad that I do not have a job right now...so, so glad. School by itself is wearing me out and I can't imagine having to deal with a job as well. I guess summer is up in the air for me...I'd like to stay here, but I cannot afford it..the only way I could stay here over the summer is if I get a job at the dorms. It's like an RA position, but for summer and you don't have to go to summer school and you can live here for free. So, the hope is to get a job at home, where I will lie and/or not mention that I am going back to school because if I do, I won't get hired anywhere.

I had a nice talk with Merc and Ong this weekend, sort of about life and all that jazz. I walked away from that feeling really good about the choices I have made so far and I feel a little more confident about the future and I just wanted to tell them thanks for that...so thank you guys. *hugs*

And good lord it is hot...it feels like being in Tulare County..not fun.

I took a nice little walk on campus this morning to find out my class was canceled, so I thought I would write. I'm a little irritated that it was canceled. Only because I could have slept in and because I actually did ALL of the reading for this morning. But at the same time, I am glad it is canceled because this is the class I hate.

I had a pretty productive weekend. I hung out w/Merc and Ong Friday night, came home Saturday morning and I did work the rest of the weekend. I am pretty proud of myself.

Right now I am reading a book for my Bohemians/Beats class called Minor Characters: A Beat Memoir. It was written by a girlfriend of Jack Kerouac's. I had never heard of Jack Kerouac before this class and after reading one of his books, (On The Road) , watching a documentary about him and reading Minor Characters, I am quite fascinated by him. I really want to learn all I can about him. Jack Kerouac is "credited" for starting the whole Beat Generation in the 1950s. It actually had be going on previous to that, but his book On The Road was one of the first documentations of the goings on of the Beat Generation. But it's cool...he hung around people like Neal Cassady, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. I don't know...I'm sure none of you care, but I love it when I am actually interested in something my classes have to offer. :)

Have you ever seen Mulholland Drive? It's an interesting/confusing/cool movie. I had to watch it for my class this week. I really liked it though I didn't get it. I would up finding an article online to help me figure it out. It's funny, I tried asking other people if they'd seen it, a few of them guys, and all the guys could comment on was the love scenes between two women. But anyways, I really recommend it. It has a good soundtrack. There is this one song that is sooooo beautiful. It's the song "Crying" by Roy Orbison, but it's sung in Spanish and the girl that sings it has a beautiful voice. I fell in love w/the song. Speaking of falling in love w/songs...I am also in love w/a 311 song. On 3/11 of this year, 311 did a huge show in New Orleans, where they played for 5 hours and played 70 songs. One of the songs was "D'yer Ma'ker" by Led Zepplin. I think they did a GREAT job. I love that song anyways, but 311 doing it makes it that much better. It's very cool...if you're interested in hearing it, let me know and I'll send it. :)

I am so glad this week is over. Not that this was a bad week, I just had a lot of stuff to do. I have work to do this weekend too, but tonight I want nothing to do with school.

I turned in my housing information today. I am living in the older dorms again instead of the new ones. My main reason for changing (I REALLY wanted to live in the new dorms) is because of something my roommates mom said. My roommate was also going to live in the new dorms and we were going to live in the same suite. She is expecting to get more financial aid and she was talking to her mom about it and her mom said that she should save any extra financial aid money she received. It's funny because I never thought of that. I know I am getting more financial aid and I could save that money...it could go towards a car. :) So I am sucking it up and living in the old dorms again. My roommate and I will be rooming together again, so it won't be bad. :)

K, Ong is on her way to pick me up and I gotta get my stuff together...have a great weekend everyone! :)

I am officially back...and a million thanks to Merc for making that happen. ;)

I didn't realize it's been a week since I posted. I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. I spent most of it with Merc and Ong...fun times. Friday we went to Santa Monica to see Just Dave (my first time in Santa Monica). It was a lot of fun...then went to Hooters for a little bit. Don't think I want to go back there. I felt too self conscious. Saturday/Sunday we just hung out. Oh...they also taught me how to play pool better, which was nice. I don't think I did too bad. The last 2 days I also did an acting project for Ong and her classes. It went really well. I have never acted, so it was an interesting and fun experience. I suppose I can put that on a resume.

I have so much work to do, it is not even funny. I have a test on Friday on 5 chapters and I've read part of only 1 chapter. There will probably be some late nights. But anyways, I should go, just wanted to do a short update. Send me some motivation vibes...please?

Greetings everyone. How's life treating you? Well, I hope. This week has been a pain in the ass, but I am glad the most irritating parts are over with. I got my 2 midterms back...I got C's on both of them. One a high C and the other a low C. I got the high C in my Children's TV class, which is fine with me. I didn't really study for that one cause I was busy studying for the test that I got the low C on. That one I'm a little pissed about. I just don't get it. I read the f-ing book, probably wound up reading it 2-3 times while I was reviewing and looking for information, I understand the book, I write an essay on a test and I get a 73. Oh, and this is my Pop Culture class, the one I have complained about before. That just seems unfair. I put in the man hours of reading and studying and I get a C out of it...Which I'm sure if I had got a 72 instead of 73, she would have written C-. What's interesting though is that she's not really clear in her comments and she even compliments me on quite a few things, but I get a C. I honestly HATE this class. I should have dropped it a long time ago. I will probably wind up with a C in the class, which is fine, but I don't get it cause I read and I go to class and I'm still not doing well. Does that make sense? I don't think it does. And yes, I could go talk to her, but I am seriously beyond the point of caring about this class. I will keep working and doing what I normally do, but I don't know if I feel like putting in any extra effort. I don't feel it's worth the time or stress on myself.

This week has just been blah...I haven't slept well, I haven't felt well and then my classes have to be overly annoying. I sure hope next week is much better. I hope everyone is doing better than I am. :) Talk to ya guys soon...and thanks for reading my vent.
