A small internet hideaway for the little girl inside of me that, frankly, has nothing better to do.
So... I haven't finished studying for History, and it's 3:15 in the morning. I've got the test at 8:00, and I plan to awaken around 6:00 to finish up some reading. Yay! No verse for tonight, because it'll take me forever to pick one out, and I definitely need to get those 2 1/2 hours of sleep. At least I'll be able to crash after the test. I'm done with schooling on Fridays by 10:00, so there's plenty of time right there if I think I need it. Anyway, goodnight... or is it morning?
I just give up. That's really all I have to say right now. I didn't have time to read today so I just flipped it open to Psalms and found one that I thought applied pretty well to the way I'm feeling right now:
I like DDR. A lot. I think I'm going to marry it. That's just one more thing that I'm engaged to. Ugh, I need to stop being such a loser. Alyssa... I hear you laughing right now through the wall. So... I'm going on a diet. I've decided that I don't like the way that I look, so I'm going to do something about it. I'm also going to go running whether I have someone to run with or not, because I really miss it. Also, I'm seriously considering learning Latin. It might take me a while, but it's something else to do. I also need to find a way to finish learning the guitar, and I need to organize my room. At least I'm able to do some things that I've been meaning to do for a while. Speaking of which, I'm going to start a "Verse of the Day" here on the blog. It'll be a verse that either applies to me, one that I find really interesting, or one that just strikes me at the moment.
Everyone went off to Don's room and I didn't go so now I'm just sitting here in my room on the computer... with nothing to do... I guess I could try homework or something productive, but I'll probably play video games instead. Rita's gone. Here in College Station everyone was perfectly safe. In fact, it barely sprinkled here. The only effect from Rita was increased wind speed, but even then it was only about 20-30mph.
I've decided to learn another language. I'm tired of only being able to use English and some French. I want to learn something different and interesting. So, I'm going to be taking suggestions of languages to learn. I haven't decided how I'll go about learning it, but rest-assured if you talk to me in 6 months I'm bound to be able to speak to you in a nother language. I actually found this thing that says that I could learn a language in 10 days, but I'm not sure that I'd actually believe that. Of course, I wish it were that simple, but I'm not sure it could be. Anyway, I was thinking about Russian or German, and maybe Latin. I know it's dead, but the best language is a dead language.
Well, I finally have the internet in my room, but for all I know that'll be short-lived. Rita will destroy us all. Well, that's untrue. Actually, I expect that College Station will only be hit by the feeder bands of Rita, which will have dissipated to tropical storm strength by the time they pass over enough land to reach us. Supposedly many a tornado will be spawned, but I'm not really that worried about the tornadoes up here. Of course, in the LJ, I'm not so sure I expect to have a house the next time I "go home". It's such a strange thought. I've lived in that house for 13 years, and within the next week it may be gone? The past few days I've felt so shallow. I'll sit here and complain about something like breaking a nail during bowling (it hurts a lot, trust me), but there are people that have to worry about not having a house to come home to. It's alright, I already know I'm a terrible person. By the way, Katherine and I will be mourning the loss of my nail this coming Monday. That eulogy better be good, Kat. My nail and I were together for 3 weeks and it meant a lot to me. Anyway, I think it's naptime... or study time since I have a quiz in Weather Lab.
It's about time someone made a list of blog rules so that we all know how to post, comment, and refer to blogs. Following Mr. White's suggestion at El Toro's the other day, I think Ross will corroborate with me on this to make it perfect. That way, everyone will know everything there is to know about posting, and how much free time we have here at college. I've been fiddling with pictures that I took this summer in Paint, since I'm an uberloser and don't have Photoshop, and I've come to realize that I really need to manage my time better. I mean, there I was playing on the computer, and I have a test in Atmospheric Science on Tuesday. Was it a good idea? Probably not. But if I could go back in time and be studying would I? Probably not, because I'm a loser and already know basic meteorology and therefore have no reason to be studying. Absolutely everything we've gone over in class so far I've already known. Some of it was even covered in Astronomy. It's kind of sad that I haven't really learned anything new, but by the same token, it's nice to have free time... which I spend sleeping or on the computer. I seem to be the only one that scheduled all my classes for the morning. Why wouldn't you want to have free afternoons? Granted, I don't like waking up early, but I do like to get all my classes out of the way. I'm done every day by 12:30. Well, Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Psychology at 5:30, but I added that one after the first few days of class so that I could be in class with Ashley and Alyssa. Anyway, the first home game is this weekend, and I'm not going because, unlike the average Aggie, I don't have a sports pass. Not that I didn't plan on getting one, I just haven't gotten around to it, because I really don't care all that much. *Gasp* Blasphemy! Oh! I almost forgot to mention that I qualified for a special phsychological experiment. Apparently, they want me for study about psychophysiological reactions. Sounds good to me. It means that I get all my hours out of the way. Sadly... I'd be there for 4 hours, but at leats I'd get it all done and not have to worry about it anymore. I'm definitely going to do it. Ashley qualifies, too, so we can do it together. Rachel... I love your stapler. I'm so insanely jealous. Speaking of the stapler, we really need to watch Office Space again. I like that movie a whole lot.
I meant to do this yesterday. (I = Rachel) Julie has her password remembered on the computer, so I win.
Ah... Buffy. I think Talley may be the only one that understands that. Anywho, not a big fan of college thus far. My problems stem not from the classes or the obscene amount of reading they want me to do. In fact, I'm glad that they gave me all this work. It gives me something to do instead of count the bricks in my room, and don't think that I don't know how many there are, how many are on each side of the wall, and how many are placed between the windows. I know everything there is to know about the bricks in my wall. I could even draw you a relatively accurate picture of the entire room. Of course, I have an exceptionally good memory when it comes to pictures so that's no real feat. However, homework gives me something to do with my time. No, my dilemmas bloom from the weed that is dorm life. There's not enough space, I'm not a big fan of the fact that I can hardly see in my shower since half the lights in the bathroom are out, the peeling of paint on my bathroom door, the white, empty walls, no alone time, and being able to hear absolutely everything that my neighbors say. Rachel... I also miss being able to drive around aimlessly listening to music as loud as I want and singing as loud as I want. Of course, with gas prices as high as they are, I doubt my parents would want me to do that anyway. I miss being able to step onto the floor and not worry about how cold it's going to be. I miss being able to sit in front of my mirror to get ready for the day. I even miss being able to get ready the way that I used to. Now that I'm up there, I have to create a completely new pattern for day preparation. I miss eating. I pretty much don't do it anymore. I have to walk down four flights of stairs and then back up those stairs if I want to eat an actual meal, and most of the time it's just not that worth it to me. Friday I didn't eat at all, and then Saturday I didn't eat until 7:00 pm. My hair is beginning to fall out. I'm not sure if it's because of the stress, depression, lack of nutrients, or even because I've been using a different shampoo. I only know that I don't like it and I want it to stop. My only hope is looking to the future, realizing that I'll be used to it in a couple of months and everything will be fine.
I have yet to secure an adequate computer for myself. Currently, I'm using one of the computers in the Student Computer Center for my own personal gain. I'm supposed to be doing some work for my math class, but the TA hasn't even said anything to us yet, so I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing. Whatev. My mother sent me my dad's laptop, but sent it without any cables, so it was useless to me until she sent the cables. Now that I have to cables, it's still pretty useless to me because she didn't sent an Ethernet cable. I know she's just trying to help me out, but so far it hasn't really done anything helpful... Someday I'll have my own computer and it will be better than all of yours combined! I'm lying, but I'll at least have my own. We're starting now. Peace out.
