Viva La Vida

I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving cannot get here any sooner. Hopefully after this weekend time will go by a little faster. This week has been really crazy. Yesterday was an 18 hour day for me. Had to work on a Digital Photography assignment until 1 a.m. last night. And it totally sucks too, which means I will probably have to resubmit it and waste more of my time next week, which really sucks. I need to get an A in that class, because if I don't my Dad will give me crap about it since it *seems* like it should be an easy A. Which it is totally not considering I spend most of my time and effort working on stuff for that class.
Today was an alright day though. Advertising was not too bad today, and then I found out my Interpersonal class got cancelled, which rocked because we were totally supposed to have a test. Then me and Jordan went to go pick up my pictures, and they are opening up a new Chick Fil A in town tomorrow, and the first fifty people are supposed to get free food for a year. So everyone has been joking around saying they are going to camp out in front of the store, and there were totally like a good thirty people in tents outside Chick Fil A waiting for tomorrow! It pretty much made my day. haha. Then I went to work and layed out my page and am pretty excited because I'm running a list of awesome "Halloween" movies. And it took up like 75 percent of my page so it only took me like 45 minutes. But I ended up having to stay in the office until like the normal time anyways because of drama. Oh how I abhor drama. I really think I have had more issues with drama in college than when I was in high school. Which pretty much sucks. Anyways, so next week/weekend I have initiation for GKO. Which will definitely be interesting. And then the weekend after that we have the Twilight themed formal and Kip will be here for a visit, which will pretty much be the best weekend ever!! And then the next weekend is TWILIGHT!!!! I am seriously so excited! Words cannot express! And then Tuesday I get to go home for Thanksgiving Break! I am actually really excited about Thanksgiving for the first time in 19 years. Usually I could care less about Thanksgiving because I just want to hurry up and get to Christmas. But since I've only been home one time this entire semester it really makes me appreciate my family and friends back home. I am very excited for the holiday season. Oh, and just to let you know, I am completely obsessed with the Coldplay album Viva La Vida currently. When it first came out over the summer I hated it, but by the end of the summer I really started to enjoy it. And my love for it has progressed over the past few months and I cannot stop listening to it now. I believe that you can't really appreciate music until you've listened to it for a certain amount of time. Sure, you can automatically like a song when you first hear it, but to truly appreciate the musical genius of an artist, it really takes time for it to sink in. There are only a few albums that I can listen to track-by-track, and now Viva La Vida is a member of the club, because it's just that awesome.

Room For Squares

Life has been interesting lately, I can say that. But words really can't express any of it, so I will just leave it at that.

Budweiser

So yesterday Courtney and I got a frog for the room. Its name was Budweiser. We got hot pink gravel and a cool dinosaur skull for him to play in, and we put up a picture of John Cusack as the tank background. What frog could ask for more than that? Well, apparantly Budweiser wanted to be free, because he somehow escaped from the wonderous fish tank.
I got back to the room earlier and Courtney was telling me how he liked to hide out. So I'm like, uhh I totally don't see him anywhere in the tank....so then Courtney looks down and sees Budweiser on the ground! So we freak out and scream like little girls. So then Courtney has to call her man-friend from down the hall to come rescue us from the frog and let it out into the wild (aka the garden in front of South Hall) Budweiser was a good pet for 24 hours. We will get fish next week after I get paid, because fish don't jump out of fish tanks....well with our luck they probably will.
Anyways, last night had dinner with the GKO girls at Chili's and stuffed my face with wonderous food. This morning we had a service at Millard's Crossing which is this really cute historical village north of town, and we painted fences and took pictures in the cute little old houses. Later I am going to the football game, which we actually have a shot at winning since we are decent this year. Plus we get to sit by our letters which I am pretty excited about.

I'm Hungry

You know, I hate when people expect you to do something for them but they won't do it for you at all. It's like I was home all summer and for homecoming last weekend, and now people are wondering why I am not coming home this weekend? Yeah it's just really lame, and it's like, well, what do you expect me to be like? Whatever.
Anyways, just hanging out in the office right now. Already finished with my page and just waiting for other people to finish so we can spellcheck each other's work. I'm really hungry and ready to leaveeeee. This week has been alright. Just been working on digital photography stuff. That class takes over my lifeee. I don't have hardly any work in any other classes except that one. It's fun I guess but hopefully I'll be able to get a good grade. Alright I'll finish this hoe later.

Just Bend The Pieces Til They Fit

So I need to write a new entry because I haven't seen last week, but I really don't know what to write about. I've been pretty busy but it's like I just don't feel like writing about everything. I really don't want to go to classes tomorrow. Or wake up early. Someone please please stop me if I say I am going to schedule four classes in a row again. It's just bad. At least Thursday I only have two classes because three of my teachers are going to some conference for journalism/communication stuff. And Friday I have no classes so that will be grand. We find out who our big sisters are and get our letters this weekend for GKO which should be exciting. There's a bunch of stuff to do for GKO on Friday and Saturday so I'm pretty stoked. And it's my goal for this next weekend to be able to play Guitar Hero on hard. It will happen. My next digital photography project is due on Thursday. I should probably start working on the last two pictures for that. Yeah, that would probably be smart. I have an Advertising test on Wednesday that I should probably start studying for, I just really have no motivation. Ugh. And I hate how everyone on staff at the paper never wants to write anything for the entertainment page because they're all concerned with writing hard news for their little portfolios. Which I understand because I know I was exactly the same way last semester but it's still annoying. OK, so I am listening to Dashboard Confessional right now, and I really cannot remember if I have ever seen them live?? I feel like I have and like I can remember it, but I don't think I have???? It's really weird.....Anywayssss this blog was basically pointless and just consisted of me rambling, but if you read all of this you are basically my favorite person ever. Peace out bitchesssss.

Signs

Are there really such things as "signs" or do we pick and chose our own signs in life. What are the steps we take when making a hard decision, and how do we go about choosing them? How do we know if we make the right choice? Is it a gut feeling do we really just go on "signs" we think we see or feel. Sometimes it feels like you have to make a decision that you never thought you would have to think about. Sometimes life takes us by surprise and sweeps us off our feet.
