Back For A New Year

So it's been ages since I've lat posted (not that anyone cares) but I had some free time so I figured I may as well update my prodigal blog! It's that time of year again, and all the little collegiates have shuffled off to school. I myself am starting my senior year! I'm looking forward to drowning in my sea of Bio courses. Also, my 21st Birthday party is coming up! A Modern Masquerade, it promises to be a fantastic affair. That being said, on my meager college budget, raising the funds for it is the pits. For that reason I have started using cashcrate.com and it looks to be fairly legit. We'll see. If you want to check it out, use my referral link (blatant plug) http://www.cashcrate.com/3077172 and help a guy out.

Death by Frosty Stupid

Why does my school hate me? Can anybody enlighten me?? FIRE ALARM goes off at 10 AM during EXAM WEEK?!?! I have an exam I should be studying for and, oh yeah, IT'S FRICKIN COLD OUTSIDE! WHO decided that was a GOOD idea?!?! ಠ_ಠ Let's complain.....

Where's all the reliable plumbing gone?

Soooo, I wake up this morning ready to take a shower and start my day. Walk into the bathroom and turn on a faucet. What came out can only be described as the saddest, most pitiful excuse for a stream of water I'd ever seen. So I went to a toilet and tried to flush it: the toilet said 'no'. Shower? Not happenin'. So now I'm all stinky and I still need to go to class. Thanks HU, I feel like my $30,000 is really going to good use. This is a recurring thing here though, our plumbing is simply unreliable, always bursting, breaking, freezing, rusting, or being stopped up. I'd kinda appreciate not having to worry if the waters' flowing everytime I walk into the bathroom. That's just me. Anyway, let's wash!

Stress

Done with classes and presentations and all I want to do is sleep. Can I do that? Noooo because I have to somehow buy two 1/2 inch binders when I have no transportation, I have to FINISH the work that goes IN the binders, I need to actually START my research paper that I've been neglecting and can't find any research for, and I have to study for 2 tests. A-yo college, what's good? Let's crash and burn >.<

Rain is the Devil

RAIN! It's been a while since I posted anything up here and that's because I've been having a really rough time with research papers and school. But that's not what this post is about. It's about the necessary evil called RAIN! You know the one, that rain that's super heavy right when you have to leave for your class which happens to be on the other side of campus. It's that rain that starts abruptly when you're outside with no umbrella wearing flip flops, cargo shorts and a thin graphic t. You all know the one. Sigh, now I'm all sickly on top of everything else.

On the up side, I've been crashing in my friends' room on campus [he constantly refers to me as a "squatter"] and I've been able to keep in touch with all my on-campus friends as well as make a couple new ones. Things are looking up socially even if I bombed those three tests because I was playing video games all night! O and campus may flood tomorrow so let's hope they cancel class! [but are they gonna cancel class? I don't think so] Let's flood!

Boats and Ho's!

Curse you non-actualizing beer!

         Yesterday was my first day on the boats! Sailing just might be fun [as long as I don't capsize]. There's a lot to learn about rigging and certain sailing moves [who knew there were sailing moves?] but I'm a pretty smart cookie. A dark shadow on my Friday, however, was this Physics quiz. I don't know how many of you have taken or will be taking Physics, but as a Bio major, I can tell you Physics isn't my best friend. The beginning is just like Calculus though, which I can do, so I wasn't too worried about it -- that is until the teacher said if you don't use her method you won't get full credit. Since I'd been skipping class [bad, I know, but I thought I could use my Calc knowledge] that put a SERIOUS wrench in my day.

Day Man vs Night Man!

        I was fully prepared to just take it and hope for the best when my brain decided to screw me over. The moment I got the quiz Night Man and Day Man from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia started playing in my head and I couldn't concentrate from laughing internally so hard. It's nigh impossible to try and find the angle measure of a vector when the words "I can't fight you man when you come inside me and pin me down with your strong hands and I'll become the Night....the passionate, passionate Night Man" So my questions to you all today are: Have you ever been trying to take a test or quiz and couldn't concentrate because of a song that was playing OVER and OVER? And if so, what song? Let's rock!

Night Man and Day Man songs for the curious. You gotta listen to it all XP

Getting Out There

       Many of us struggled to fit in in the social hierarchy of high school, and for some of us that struggle didn't end in college. Even though I have some really great friends at school, since I live off campus, I've found that when they're busy I have literally nothing to do. Also, my school doesn't have a lot of the activities I liked in high school like there's no soccer team, the dance group is SUPER competitive, no ultimate frisbee, no Model United Nations and my other go-to activities.
       That's why this year I decide to really get out there and do things outside my comfort zone (I'm a junior so I know it's late but better late than never right?). That's why today I joined the SAILING TEAM! Can I sail? No. Do I like sailing? That's what I'm about to find out! So comment below and tell me, what have your experiences with "finding yourself" in school been and how have you dealt with social environments? Let's sail!

I'm on a boat! Well actually I'm on a ferry, but you get the idea!
