I'm trying to remember....

I can't quite recall everything that has happened since I last blogged. I'll try though.

So, Valentines day was nice. I got Gordon a cute teddy bear, and he sang/played me a song :) It was a nice little cuddly holiday and I was smitten. I enjoyed it mucho. In the mail I got a valentine from my parents, and my grandparents, and I think that was it. I also got a package from my parents that had parts for my Catwoman outfit for the superhero party that may or may not happen, amongst other things. Speaking of things in the mail, I mentioned in one of my "25 things" that I'm becoming more and more obsessed with, that I wanted to get a poster of the Edward Hopper painting "Nighthawks". Well Marshall saw this and decided to send me one. I was so blown away when I got it, I hadn't even fathomed that that was what he would send me. I called him right away. My mood was so good that day.



So I guess my Dad really misses me. I usually call my Mom while she's at work, I guess it's because it's more convenient. But yah, I never used to really talk to him anyway, but I guess I should even it out more. I shall try.

Oh! More poster news. So I got the Edward Hopper one, so I decided to buy a poster of the Sailor kissing the Nurse. My part of our room next year is gonna be so old school. It's going to rock hard. I'm so excited for our triple.

I found this amazing site called Fmylife.com where people post little stories about the crappy things that happen to them in life. It's pretty hilarious.

I called Dell and they fixed my scroll thing :)

What else...Meredith's IS went really well. That's one more thing for Gordon to check off of his list. Now all that's left is Romeo and Juliet this weekend.

I've been re-reading The Great Gatsby. It's pretty good. And of course, watching House and Bones. Yay!

Katie, Arielle, and I volunteered to be on the decorations committee for the ILP dance. I think it will be mucho fun.

I really wish I had more to write about. I'll probably think of more later.

Eric and Scotty are coming to visit me this weekend! (I think). HAPPY DAY!

Stupid pictuers won't load... :( And none of my other ones will show up...stupid Blogger!

Thoroughly annoyed doesn't even begin to cover it

Ok, so this morning I get this e-mail from the President of the College saying something along the lines of "Hey, the economy sucks...we're gonna raise tuition :)" So now, from a horrid $42,000 we must now pay a life-changing $43,900. That's an extra $1900 if you havne't already figured that out. They better give me so much more money in aid. I'm so annoyed. I'm just having money problems galore. Today, the dryer decided it wanted to take an extra 75 cents from me...greeeeat. And also, I find out that I may have to pay extra taxes for recieving Federal Student Aid. That's not income! It's aid...I'm so annoyed. I almost broke down today. I never used to fret about money. I think it's all starting to change.

I'm going to try to fandangle my way into an extra 2-3 hours a week at work. I really need the hours, and I would love to have them. Otherwise, I might just try for another job.

Oh yah, did I mention I'm completely happy in my relationsip? Yeah...it's like that :)

On Saturday, Gordon got me to join their Lord of the Rings extended edition trilogy take over your life party. I pretty much only watched the first one, then did homework and slept. Plus I was (and still am) sick, so it's ok to sleep.

I've decided I'm going to major in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I like the classes, and I've just finished transcribing a language sample. It's all good and I really like it.

We watched Beauty and the Beast and Muppet Treasure Island the other night, and I believe we're going to watch The Pagemaster on Wednesday. Yay! And Obama got in the way of House last night. I was, yet again, thorougly annoyed.

We went and saw a comedian last night. His name is KT Tatara, and I think he looks like a chick in pictures. He's damn hilarious though :)


Ok, that's all of my boring life today I think. I wish I were more exciting.

Penmanship is great

Right now, at this moment, I'm supposed to be doing Spanish homework. But, actually, I feel like writing. Anything. A story, a poem, a letter. After I'm done with this blog, that's exactly what I'm going to do. It will probably be in the form of a letter or something.

Today was a pretty boring, run of the mill day. I woke up, and realized I had a cough and kind of sore throat (thanks b/f ;p). Then, I got mad at my face, because I'm breaking out, again. I really need to stick to the stupid washy facy regimen thing. Annoying! So yesterday, I found out my FYS advisor had never signed and sent in my add/drop form by the date, so they were gonna try to charge me a $100 late fee. I am so not cool with that. But lucky me, my Communications teacher is buddy buddy with the registrar, so it's all taken care of. But yah, I turned that in today. I had a spicy chicken sandwich for lunch, and I'm kind of craving one right now. What else......um, I didn't do much at work. And I spent about an hour with Gordon today. I'm really starting to miss him, but I guess time away is a good "growing" kind of thing...ish?

So, whilst not doing much at work, I realized I wanted to read more of people's "25 Things" notes on Facebook. They're actually really interesting, and when people write good things, you learn a lot about them. I personally like putting myself out there for people to learn about me (hence, blog). I've probably read about 50 of them today.

Katie has been seeming a bit down this week. It really sucks, because I try to open her eyes to the carefree, yet responsible, happy lifestyle I lead, and it just doesn't seem to work for her. She feels like she does badly in classes, and also feels left out in the relationship part of life? I just hope she gets happier. I hate seeing her like this.

Arielle and I designed our triple (Me Katie and Arielle) for next year. There is going to be a gypsy tent, and as much room as possible. It will rock. We are EXCITED!

My night has been boring. I tried to work out, got like 60 crunches out of it. I read more "25 things" notes, and I watched the Real World. Go me...wooo...!

I swear I had something else to write about, but I guess not. We've been re-living our childhood and listening to 90's, early millenium music. It's great.

Adios, dear friends

Jealousy ensues

Saturday was the swing lesson and dance in Cleveland with the BW kids. It was pretty darn fun. I dressed up all cute like and it was all around awesome. Although, we were in East Cleveland, kind of scary. After we left, there was a drug deal or something going on, and the guys looked at us and were like "Dressed up for the niiiiiiight.....you look like a new pen-naaaaaaay." It was HILARIOUS and SCARY at the same time. Also, we got lost on the way home, and missed an exit, so we ended up somewhere in Canton? But we found a highway patrol station and made it home by 1:30. Oh yah, Gordon got hit on by a couple of girls our age, they were trying to hook him up. And he also got hit on by a 50 year old drunk woman. I also danced with a drunk guy who wanted "to spin". Exciting people, exciting night.

Katie's parents came into town for the band concert and for Mrs. Kowicki's birthday. The weather was so nice, and I had a steak at dinner. It was DELICIOUS. I loved that day.

Tonight we had our House party, and then our International meeting. It was great because Itai Njanji from Zimbabwe talked to us. He has the greatest speaking voice.....*sigh* And he loves speaking in quotes and proverbs. It's lovely.

So, I never used to be the jealous type with boyfriends, but lately I've noticed I've become quite the jealous lady. More than once this week I've been overcome with jealousy. It's not like rage jealousy, it's the kind that kind of makes me blue. I guess that's saying something about how much I really like Gordon, but I could have told you that.

Other than that, my weekend went by pretty fast....it was not cool.

P.S. I got Gordon something for Valentines Day. I'm very happy with it :)
