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 :)

Knots and Zippers suck

So yesterday it snowed a helluva lot, like 8 inches? So we decided to carry on tradition and fill the arch. The snow was bad for packing so it didn't touch the top of the arch, but we did pretty well I'd have to say. There's a little American Flag on the top, it's cute. They gave us hot chocolate, and donuts, and we used our recycling bins and huge hall trash cans. It was super fun, and I talked to some people that I never really would have talked to. It was great.

Also in the news, I had my first web chat with my sister/family the other night. It went pretty well after they finally figured out what the hell they were doing lol. But overall, it went well.

Gordon has been pretty stressed this past week. He puts too much on his plate and has no Gordon time. It's really sad to see him like this. He's got two play practices, classes, volunteering, swing, band, and other things. I just hope everything works out for him. I'm gonna send him pick me ups I think. I'm also going to try to do something very sweet for him for Valentine's Day. I just have no clue what to do, I'm at a loss for ideas.

So last night, we were in Mom's, and my zipper on my Abercrombie hoodie got all wacky and uneven and it sucked. It got stuck and I wasn't able to get it fixed until like 20 minutes ago. I was so annoyed with it. And along with that, I keep getting this major knot in my hair at the nape of my neck. That's the worst place to have a knot. It SUCKS!!!

I'm really liking Communication Sciences and Disorders.....I think I shall major in it. Task complete :) No more stressing.

I think that's all. Bones is on tonight! I love having our parties for TV shows! They're the greatest. Oh, and we're going Swing Dancing in Cleveland on Saturday. I'm gonna dress up and look super duper cute :)

Ice skates make me taller

So my schedule is now official. I got into the Language Development class that I needed for the CSD major, so I've dropped the dreaded Logic!! Now my lunch is at 11 but whatever. Now I'm deciding if I want to keep my meal plan, or change it to get more flex dollars. I'm so unsure, and that's pretty much the only thing I'm unsure about.

Last Wednesday, Gordon told me to dress really warm because we were gonna have a picnic. Mind you, this was one of the days that it was like -13 degrees outside. I thought he was crazy. So I dressed warm, and went to his house. Instead of going outside, he set up a one of his sheets (plaid and green) on the floor and had little tea lite candles everywhere. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. We watched "Love Actually", which I had never seen before and thought it was alright, and he made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I asked him why he did it on that particular Wednesday, and he said just because he missed me. I was and still am quite smitten. Now I'm just wondering what he's gonna do this Wednesday (our 3 month) because he asked for my entire schedule......scaaaaaaary....

At work, I'm left with about 5 hours a week. I'm hoping to pick up some random ones, and I'm working the ice skating table an extra two hours twice this week. Yes! There's ice skating at Wooster! They've turned the back patio into a little rink. It's really cute. We all went last night, and it was super fun, until my camera died, I only took like three pictures. We'll have to go again. The rink is kind of bumpy and isn't completely frozen, but it works. I was about face to face with Gordon in my skates, it was pretty awesome. He said I should wear heels more often. I'm so up for that, I'm just trying to find a new pair. He and I need some pictures together, we need to work on that.

Kelley came out on Friday night. I felt bad because there wasn't really anything to do. We went to the showing of The Dark Knight, and then we went to my room and played Phase 10. Joe won after complaining that he hates that game. Then Saturday, we convince Sebastian to drive down to Wooster, which isn't far from his native Medina. I was so excited, it's been over a year since I've seen him. It was really nice. Hopefully he'll stop by again! It was a good weekend.



I feel like doing something tonight. And I need to call my mom, I haven't in a while. Hmm....yah, we'll see whats up.

I think that's it.

Logic scares me.....

I'm back at Wooooo!!! But, my heat is not working, so when I got to my room, the temperature was pretty much colder than it was outside. All three of us were wearing hats, and gloves, and I was contemplating sleeping in my winter jacket. So going against the rules, we went out and bought a lovely little space heater. It's all cute and after only a day it heated up the room pretty well! This creepy guy keeps coming in and fiddling with the heater, but I don't think it's doing anything. Oh well, my space heater works for now. The picture is what my room would be like without my space heater.

So, I got here around 12, unpacked, went to lunch, blah de blah. And I went to swing dancing that night. It was mucho fun. I danced with Katie, and then finally Gordon got there. How I've missed him so. It was a nice time. I learned some moves that hopefully I can remember so Katie and I can finally dance!

I started my classes yesterday. First I have Spanish again, same teacher, different classroom (this one sucks). It should be fun. Second I have The Visual Text, which is kind of like a stage crew class aka awesome! I get to do running crew and all kinds of fun stuff. Third is Logic and Philosophy. This one scares the crap out of me. I didn't realize it was going to be so hard. It's like math, but not. And I'm bad at math....I'm just really scared that I'm going to do horribly. Oh well, keep my hopes up. Then today, I have one more class in about a half hour, Language Disorders in Children. I think it should be pretty interesting, but I don't get out of it till 4. Gordon's gonna come pick me up and I think we're gonna get some food. Shnazzy.

Oh yah! I put up my Lucy poster and my LiveLavaLive poster! I'm excited. My room flippin rocks. I also blew up my workout ball today. I'm excited for this new semester minus Logic. And my swipe card has been being retarded...I need a new one. They cut my hours at work from abou 7.5 hours, to 5.5 hours. I'm thoroughly annoyed, but whatever.

Ok, I'm done for now. More later!
