I finally finished scheduling today!! So my spring semester is looking pretty good. I ended up deciding not to take Methods this semester, and will take it in the fall. (unless I take a summer class....) I really don't wanna take it at all... but I figured it would be better to take Method I and then Methods II immediately after. Also, the Theology I wanted to take Faith and Atheism was already full up, so I'll try to get into it another semester. Instead I decided to take my creative arts requirement, and my required communications class(which is the only class I'm kinda whatev on)...

So my finalized schedule,,, *drum roll please*

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have Developmental Psychology I at 10 am, and then Interpersonal Communications at 11. On Fridays only I have Japanese.... And on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Criminology at 10:50 and Multi-Genre Creative Writing (oh I am excited for this!) at 12:15. :)

Most likely I'll be working on a similar schedule so I won't be sleeping in on Tuesdays and Thursdays but that is no big deal. I'd rather go home earlier again. :)

So I just started scheduling for next semester classes. (I don't have a hold on my account this year! OMG YAY!) And so far I registered online for.....

Elementary Japanese II - MLJA 102 - 55 at 3 pm on Fridays.
Developmental Psychology I: Infancy-Adolescence PSYCH 225-01 at 10 am on MWF
Criminology -Soci 213-01 at 10:50 am on Tuesday and Thursday


And I still need to pick 2 more classes. I don't know what I want to take though....

I have the urge to learn the entirety of the Thriller dance by Tekko.  Random idea, I know. Craig and I(who is feverish and still kinda sick) just danced to Thriller randomly in our living room.  I love my brother. 

So this weekend I went out of state Saturday to the cursed Ohio(it never seems to cooperate for people I know), with my ex-roommate Alex and Kennen from Duq.   We first, though, went up to Alex's house(which I swear can fit 3 of my houses in it!!!) in Cranberry on Friday and caught a showing of the silent film Nosferatu.  Oh we had fun with that.

Then on Saturday we left for the main event of the weekend-Cedar Point's Halloween thing.  Overall it was pretty fun, I went on some rollercoasters that scared the crap out of me on the way up but then it was fun.   The haunted houses were really well done too.  In comparision to Kennywood's fright nights, though, Cedar Point's are more family friendly(besides the haunted houses).  I could actually see since it wasn't completely dark and filled with fog! 

Finally Sunday was a bit stressful as we raced home, and just making it back in time to head up to the Zombie Walk.  Best part of that?  Coming home and having my little brother, Craig, tell me flat out he wants to come next year.  And then my mother agreeing to let him.  Awwww.... :) 

Then I didn't sleep all night as a finished a paper.  And now I have to write another one, but I don't wanna. :P 

Does anyone have any?  Any parties occurring this yeaR? 

My grandmother, Helen Fries, has been in the hospital for the last week, and last night they put her back on the ventilator....  It doesn't look good, if she doesn't get better by Tuesday, my mum and her siblings(all 6 of them) plan to take the ventilator out and let her go.  Its not easy, I love my grams.  and as wacky as she was, I loved the fact that I could discuss relatively new music with her and local dance clubs...  I have a feeling this might be hard on me.

So I've been in an odd mood lately... And I can't figure out why. I'm sad or anything, I'm just in a bit of an apathetic mood. Even my classes this semester(the ones I like at least) aren't cutting it for me.  I've also been bone-tired exhausted, and my whole body(expecially my shoulders, back, and wrists) have ached.  Maybe I need to just need a break?  G-20 break, you can't get here soon enough!!

In other news, Mike turned 21 on Saturday and Adrienne turned 19 on Sunday so we had a tiny celebration,  Mainly, since Danny was out of town, Adrienne and Emily came over Mike's and we chilled for a bit. It was pretty nice. 

So I did indeed drop my intercultural comm class because the professor pissed me off too much, plus I did not want to have to devote time to service learning project again. Best decission ever for I now have an hour and a half to breath, and actually eat. 

In other news, this weekend I went to Cinncinatti with Freya and Kathleen, and met up with Laura and Kristen(Whom we met in Boston), for an 80's themed dance party.  It was such a blast. I really rocked the 80's madonna look, and we took some awesome pics before hand of our outfits.  We ended up dancing tge night away till midnight when it was 'officially' over, and then hopped the hotel pool fence and jumped in the pool(in our outfits) to cool off. 

I am still uber tired though.

<3

So today was my first day back to classes, thank goodness. I found that the 4 months of summer, though while nice in terms of seeing people and having a blast, drive me nuts with lack of anything to do.  I start at 10 am, which is pretty reasonable, with my psych class... Now, the professor for this class seems pretty awesome.  He is this tiny little old man, who gets pretty excited about the history behind the brain and plans to have us learning about grave diggers.  Sweet.  My Intercultural Comm class might frustrate me a bit this semester though, not because the class does not look interesting but because he is requiring us to do the service learning aspect of it-when I have l already COMPLETED my service learning requirement and do not want to do it again.  I might smack a bitch.   OH, and finally public speaking should be a funny class at least, as the professor is a woman who is probably 25 at the most, and who kept with the funnies the entire first class.  It'll be a nice break on fridays after my Japanese class.

Oh, and all the while I work up in the Provost Office in between classes.  

I am excited about this new year. :) 

So I realized I never Posted my fall schedule yet!


Public Speaking - COMM 102 - 03 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm MWF
Exploring Intercultrl Comm - COMM 114 - 02 11:00 am - 11:50 am MWF

My schedule this year should be interesting at least. :P 

I stole this from the Jazz. :) 

♥ The steady.
X-Files. No doubt.  After almost 10 years of watching it, and rewatching reruns a thousand times,  I still never tire of the fandom,  Plus, the fanfiction is by the far I've ever read.

♥ The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets.
Wicked... I admit a good round of Gelphie fics always makes me feel better.

♥ The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it.
Grey's Anatomy....  FUCK YOU ABC.,

♥ The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy.
I feel like this one could refer to Grey's too...  Hmm... maybe Hellsing?  :LOL.

♥ The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town.
CSI

♥ The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with.
Buffy/Angel. I love the shows, but I never feel the urge to rewatch any of it.  I only ever check out crossovers too.....

♥ The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't.
Dexter. Great show. Fandom? I've never felt like looking into it...

♥ The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere.
Dr. Who. I keep meaning to watch it and get into it... But I never have gotten around to it.

♥ The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?"
Jazz was correct with this one. Twilight is the only answers that comes to mind!!  Maybe every soap opera known to man?

♥ The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly.
Fringe.   Come on, its FOX. They fuck over everything good. (which means Bones is doomed too. )

♥ The ones you repeatedly cheat on your steady with.
Bones! I haven't seen that kind of chemistry since X-Files.

♥ The best friend.
Harry Potter...  If only for the friends I've met through it. (August can't come soon enough for a Leaky reunion! )

So I'm back in Pittsburgh again after being gone for over a week.  And let me tell you, a 10 hour drive in a cramped van where no one, specifically the girls I went down with-Adrienne and Sarah, was really awake is no fun.  Despite that, I still love road trips when they are taken with the right people,

The Outer Banks were drop dead gorgeous, with sprawling quiet beaches, giant lighthouses, and multimillion dollar houses in quiet, sandy neighborhoods.  The whole atmosphere of the trip was laid back.  We woke up late, and had no really obligations to do anything substantial.  The only things that even woke us from our cozy beds was the constant sunshine and the call of the beach. We spent hours just reading, lounging in the hot tub, and watching television to rot our minds.  I believe the only remotely tiring activity we partook in was kayaking .  Which despite the intensive workout, I found quite relaxing.

But in the end, despite the beaches and the water, I am glad to be home. 

The whole trip seemed to be the exact opposite of my trip to Boston a month earlier.  While Boston was fast paced, intensive, and deeply personal, the Outer Banks was easygoing, relaxed, and just 3 friends hanging out.  I got more sleep, cried less upon returning, and was not the youngest going.   But while the Outer Banks were gorgeous, I could never imagine living there with their giant golf courses, and country clubs.  I'd rather go back to Boston with the late nights on the side walks while the rest of the city was slumbering.

Man, the beach is gorgeous.   But I haven't eaten all day.   Food please!

So I got back from Boston, and Leakycon sometime last night, It is so hard to describe what happened and what we did, but I will just say this; the entire trip was very emotional. In the good way(for the most part). I've never been somewhere where you just instantly connect to so many people, that when the weekend and everything is over you are left feeling so lost.  I mean, I've been to Tekko and when thats over I go, 'awwww.... Tekko's over. Oh well.... Next year will be fun!" But with Leaky it was so different... So much more intimate.  So much more personal.

I admit, I wish it was still going on... But Its over, and I'm just going to have to look forward to next week and whatever we all end up going to. I can't NOT see these people again. The thought is too.....  heartbreaking.

SO I'm leaving today for Boston in a few hours, and I am excited! :)   I am meeting up with a good friend from Washington State that I have known for a long time, and the two of us plan to wrock the place. Plus the people I am going up with(Freya, Kathleen.LeAnn) are pretty awesome, and I'm sure we'll have fun.

I'll be back sometime late sunday. 

So I finally am employed again, yay. Money. Its in Duq's Old Main building as an Office Assistant. Good money, a 830-5 job. No evenings, no weekends.

So I got my spring semester grades. :)  All A's am psyched.  My first year of college I kicked ass... Now I have 3 more years to go, plus grad school!

So I have made a little progress on my final woes. My cultural anthropology project is almost done, I just need to load the interview onto a cd to turn in.  My bio test is over with, but I still need to start the paper.....  I am thinking friday sounds good for a paper due Saturday. My Criminal Justice test is Friday and I still haven't finished NewJack.  I should probably read that tomorrow since its 'Reading day' but you know what?  There's a Phenomonology confrence here, and I think I'm gonna check it out instead. Procrastination station here I come!   My statistics test is Monday, thank the heavens, and I will be studying with Tiffinay on Sunday.  And finally my last final is Wednesday at 6 pm, my psychology as a human science.  So I have plenty of study time for that.....  

AND THEN I AM OUT OF HERE. Yay.

So this semester one of my favorite classes was my cultural anthropology class...  Yea, the professor is awkward and bumbling, and most of my class apparently hates the material, but personally, I have found I love what we are learning and don't mind his akwardness...  But goodness gracious this project for Anthro is killing me. I have already spent 5 hours today transcribing the interview, and still have a lot to go...  And I still have to throw together a powerpoint, and meet with Sean to write our paper. 


ARRHHGGGG! X.x 2 weeks left to finish this baby, start AND finish my Bio paper(any genetic or developmental disorder suggestions?  I think I've written about Down Syndrown one too many times in my life...), write my Psych paper(which is due Wednesday night and I haven't started.... lol), not fail my statistic test and final, finish NewJack for Criminal Justice and not fail that final....

eh... not that bad I just wont be sleeping for a while...
