I’m getting inducted into Sigma Tau Delta, the National Honors Society for English Majors in February.

Another goal has been crossed off the list.

I’m so excited.

THE COLTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!

AND….

THEY ARE GOING ALL THE WAY!

They put those mascot-less Jets back in their places!

Money is what I’m looking forward to.

Yesterday I was left two voice messages offering interviews for today. One I got during my last class, the other while I was shopping for clothes to wear to the first interview.

I’m really crossing my fingers for the second job, Ross. The first is a Bank Collections department. Of course the bank would pay more, but Ross would be so cool…and discounts! I’ll find out early next week the outcome. Cross your fingers with me!

I pretty much hate my spanish teacher. He acts like HE is our only class and assigns homework that way, when in fact he is one out of the six that I am taking. 2/3rds of the class is only taking his class because we are required to, not that learning spanish is bad but I would rather put my time, money, and credit hours to something else. For instance, we are in his class 3 hours per week, yet he assigns a test that can only be accessed Saturday at 4pm to Sunday at 11pm.

Really? A test during my weekend, and the third weekend of the semester?

Lame.

In other news: This week during Bio lab, I got to play around with sheep brains. It was disgusting but fun. And in a few weeks we move on to dissecting pigs and watching fruit flies get drunk and testing their alcohol tolerance.

Half of my blog links are dead.

When I actually feel like blogging again, blogging has gone out of style.

Lame.

But I’m not going to let that stop me.

Exciting changes are in the works. I’m extremely happy!!! I’m off campus and home at my aunts for a bit, but I’m in the works of looking for an apartment. NO MORE ROOMMATES that I do not know or like. I’m in control and I get to choose now. And I like who I chose.

Now to find an apartment. Did you know that utilities are expensive?!? There’s all sorts of hidden costs besides rent? There’s deposits and processing fees? There’s even utility company down payments? There’s location and layout to worry about too. It’s mind blowing.

But the outcome will be wonderful. Just got to hang in there and look forward to the outcome.

My third semester is tucked underneath my belt. I made Dean’s List again and now have a cumulative gpa of 3.53. I’m just happy that I didn’t make any C’s. C’s are the devil and not allowed anymore.

I’m in my fantasy football superbowl, and my opponent is my boyfriend. I don’t believe it’s good for our relationship because not only am I competitive but I’m also a sore loser. Hopefully I’ll just win and there won’t be any problems.

I can’t wait for Christmas! I get to open presents with Phil’s family on Christmas Eve, then drive back to my house for presents on Christmas morning and drunch, then back to his house for their Christmas dinner. There’s lots of driving involved but 2 meals and lots of presents are totally worth it. Plus I think I thought up some pretty nifty presents for people and I’m hoping they like them.

Rant about the EVIL PATRIOTS!!!

So the Patriots decided that it wasn’t enough to be beating the Titans by 3 let alone 6 touchdowns in the first half they had to keep Brady in for an extra quarter just for good measure.

Flip to last week when the Giants were beating the Raiders by 4 touchdowns in the first half, when the third quarter hit Manning was on the bench and Carr took his spot.

It was one thing when the Patriots were good, ….I mean cheating…., to be bastards and run up the score. But when they have lost twice this season, to the Jets and Broncos, they have no reason or place to be cold hearted bastards like they were today.

First Semester of my Sophomore year. I’m psyched. I hope this year will be better than last. Well…WAY better than last. The first week of school has past and the second is about to start. So far so good. I’m terribly thrilled about any of my classes but hopefully I’ll get more interested as the semester progresses.

I chose to have my classes spaced 2 MWF and 3 TR to give me more time to space out homework. I’m also hoping that it’ll make me like Mondays more, and make Friday’s into a better day. My class schedule looks like this:

Mon, Wed, Friday- Intro to American Government, and Intermediate Spanish.

(So far in Amer. Gov I know most of the material covered already. The professor is ok…as in kinda boring, but bearable. Every now and then he’ll say something interesting.) (Spanish- I had one teacher all last year. He didn’t teach anything and he was a gringo who spoke argentine spanish. I know have a professor who is from Spain and actually teaches. I had to buy a spanish dictionary and a quick study guide. I’m crash coursing myself. It’s a pain)

Tuesday, Thursday- American Romanticism, British Literature, and General Psychology

In American Rom. we are studying the American Romanticism period…Poe, Melville, Hawthorne, Emerson, and Walden. So far we’ve been working on Poe. I like Poe so it’s interesting. However the Professor is tough! We have 2 papers, a midterm, final, and unannounced quizzes. It’s a 300 level class so it should be harder than others…but I don’t think I’m there yet.

British Lit. We’re studying the beginnings of British literature. Right now we’re at Beowulf and we’re working our way up to Shakespeare and beyond. The Professor has a really smooth voice. She specializes and Anglo Saxon lit so she’s really into the whole Beowulf piece. I think I’ll do fine in this class.

General Psych. My Professor is a perve! He’s one of those dirty old men who always make sex jokes. It’s creepy but it keeps us interested in the class cuz we don’t know what he’s going to say next. Supposedly he’s the second best teacher out of the 4 that teach it. I couldn’t fit Bromback, who’s been reported to be the best into my schedule. Oh well…it should be an interesting class.

School starts in 2 weeks. I’m quite ready for it. I miss seeing everyone around campus and having structure in my life.

I went to Montana for a few days to see my family. I got to see one of my uncles who I hadn’t seen since I was 2.

My dad came for a visit. We were able to hang out and he was also able to meet Phil.

I went to my first traditional wedding…second altogether.

Went to my first minor league baseball game and was given a foul ball.

Celebrated 4th of July downtown on the river.

I’m having difficulty uploading pics but once I figure it out I’ll post a few.

Steve McNair died!

I feel bad for his wife most of all though. She finds out that he’s dead and been cheating on her with a 20 year old and they leased a car together, all while she’s at home taking care of the four boys.

Depressing stuff.

Michael Jackson is dead!!!

I’m sad.

No matter what people say, he was cool.  He was the music in the background while growing up. I tried to moonwalk on the wooden floors of every house I’ve lived in. His music always reminds me of my mom. She’s the one that tried to teach me the moonwalk.

I have an interview on Wednesday at ToysRUs. I really really really hope I get the job. Not because I really need a job, but because I love toys. Pray I get the job.
