So ready to go to bed.

Today was an awesome, awesome day. Let me first say that I would be watching StarShip right now if Google and all of it's affiliated sites weren't running extremely slow on my computer right now.

We had our end of the year picnic for 3B (HP club) at the park and it was so much fun. We played on the playground, climbed trees, played two hand touch and Duck Duck Whatever, as we call it. I am completely worn out right now. Also sadly, Gryffindor won the House Cup this year and Ravenclaw came in second :( Mostly because we only have 4 active members.

And Doctor Who was amazing tonight!!!!! So excited for the new plot. Spoilers. As River would say. I'm going to sleep now.

Happy last day of April! I'll try to write when fun stuff happens.

I really wouldn't say I failed at BEDA....

It made me write some, so that's an accomplishment. I'm currently waiting for Supernatural to start. Also, it was my LAST DAY OF CLASSES for the semester!!!! Only 2 exams, which will be fine once I start studying on Sunday. But tomorrow I am going to a 5 hour picnic at the park for HP club, which I'm really excited about. I can't figure out to wear though. I'm guessing a t-shirt because I don't want to get anything good dirty. I'm tempted to wear my Triwizard shirt, but I don't think I will because I'd be self conscious wearing a shirt I got from the club. Writing that I realize how stupid that is, but whatever.

I also have to go buy snacks tomorrow morning because I forgot today, oops. It's going to be weird going down to the store so early though and I imagine eerily quiet.

Noooooo

I can't believe I forgot yesterday!!!! I feel horrible, but there is honestly nothing interesting going on right now.
I started reading a Discovery of Witches yesterday, actually 2 days ago, I think. It is really good, but I say that about anything that has to do with libraries, books and witches. It is a bit like twilight, which makes me cringe sometimes. However, I believe the writing is 10x better.

I keep putting off my 10 page paper that's due Friday. I only have 3 pages so far and I honestly don't know what else I'm going to write. I just need to sit down and write it and I don't want to today so I will wait until the last minute and do it Thursday! That's okay right? I don't have ANY CLASSES on Firday!!! Technically I still have to go to my first 2, but one I'm just handing in my paper and the other is a review for the exam. My classes tomorrow are also going to be sooo lax! One we're watching a movie in and the other we're having a party and getting back grades!! Yay it's summer!!

Quidditch

I attempted to play Quidditch today, but I wasn't very successful. They decided to play differently today than the IQA does, which made it more difficult for me because I wasn't sure what to do. I was a Beater and we had bats we had to hit the Bludgers with. I probably would have been better at being a Keeper, if I was taller. We didn't have a Snitch today either, just because it was a pick-up game. It was nice though watching, that's what I'm good at.

It started to drizzle while we were out there and it was actually nice being rained on for once. Usually I have my umbrella protecting me, but I feel like being rained on is a really great way to connect with nature, especially since it is finally starting to feel like Spring. It is very freeing.

Today.

I am making this a separate post since I missed yesterday. It is Easter! Though it doesn't really seem like it to me, aside from the jelly beans I got from the commons. Today I have watched Twister and now am watching the Sound of Music because there is nothing like procrastinating on papers. They aren't due until the end of the week so I guess it's okay. I did two pages of one paper and only have one to go for the other, though I'm not sure what else I can write for it.

I also got a weird thing in the mail. Apparently someone sent me a letter without any postage, which means I have to go get it from the post office and pay for it. It is very strange, guess I'll find out who it's from tomorrow.

I'm also trying to master playing Don't You by Darren Criss on the guitar. It is just a great song to play.

Yesterday.

I can't believe I forgot to post yesterday!!! I spent all day yesterday basically watching Doctor Who and sleeping. Last night I went to watch the new episode in a classroom on a projector with the Doctor Who club, which included all of the people I watched Supernatural the night before. The episode was awesome, especially because Mark Shepard was in it. It did end very quickly though, so I cannot wait until next week!!

Sleepy

I realize it is technically not Friday anymore, but since I haven't gone to sleep yet, this will count for the 22nd. I just got back from an awesome night. Obviously it was because Supernatural was on. However, first we watched Silence of the Lambs and afterwards the fourth Star Trek movie. I have never seen any of the Star Trek movies, but it really wasn't as bad as everyone says. That could just be 'cause I was watching with awesome people, I don't know. Then it was about midnight or one I don't know, and we went down to the diner to get some food. The fries were amazing. We sat and chatted and it was so much fun! And tomorrow night I'm watching Doctor Who with some of the same people and it will be epic.

I'm tired, Goodnight.

Risks need to be taken.

I completely forgot about this. I was even about to shut off my computer.

Since I'm done reading all the books I had to for class, I can now read for pleasure again! I decided to reread 13 Little Blue Envelopes, and that was definitely the right decision. It makes me feel so alive and ready for summer. It makes me want to take risks, which, I know, I need to do more often. Maybe I finally will (doubtful). I figure stuff will have to happen to me eventually, I'm just a big believer in fate.

Lesson: There are books that make you want to get out and do things, and then there are those that suck you in an immerse you in its' world. Neither one is better or worse.

Fun, fun, fun.

I feel free for the first time this semester! I still have a 10 page paper and 2 exams to do, but I'm not too worried about the exams and the paper I already have parts done. It was a beautiful day, the first in the 70s this year! One of my classes the prof couldn't come so the TA just collected our papers and we were out!! I just realized I do have another take home assignment to do, but that shouldn't take that much time or effort. I also watched Darren Criss' live show and he was amazing as his usual self.

Also, M&Ms have to be the most addicting candy. It is really bad

Lesson Learned: Always open the window when it's nice and never stop loving Darren Criss.

Easy and stressful.

The exam I had today was extremely easy. It was only 20 questions and took me 10 minutes. I'm so grateful, but part of me wishes there were more questions just so each question wasn't worth so much. I also have my project for that class due on Thursday. I finished the 2 things I have due tomorrow, but I found out today I have another paper due Thursday. I have barely read what I have to for that paper plus my huge project that is due on Thursday is not even half way done yet! Lets just say I will be exceedingly busy tomorrow. It is time to read some more and then go to bed now.

Apples to Apples.

Every Monday night is our weekly HP club meeting and today's was so much fun. The Heads of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw went through the HP lexicon and wrote names on hundreds of cards to play Apples to Apples with. Then we split into two groups of about 9 and played an awesome game. It lasted for about an hour. I got 3 cards and I felt a little bad for Kaity who didn't get any, but I think she still had fun. She also got voted Head of Hufflepuff for next year, which is awesome!

Other than that nothing special today, it's just the home stretch to summer! Only 3 more papers to write and 3 exams!! I really haven't studied for my exam tomorrow, but it's mostly T/F and multiple choice and I think mostly common sense, so hopefully I don't screw it up.

Lesson Learned: I should always go to HP meetings. I may miss something extremely fun and miss an opportunity to gain friends.

Adventure.

My mom decided to come up for lunch today. I didn't know until I called her this morning, but it was an awesome break from writing papers. She even brought me my Easter basket because it will be my first Easter not at home. We went to Damon's Bar and Grill and an interesting thing happened, the power went out. Luckily we were done with our meal and the bill had been printed out. The place was mostly empty, but the buzzers that tell you when your table is available wouldn't go off. I thought that was pretty funny. It seemed like the employees were having fun. It's always an adventure when stuff like that happens.

I love corny movies.

I don't know if I've said this before, but I love Hallmark movies and any cheesy love movie. Right now I'm watching a movie on Fox's family movie night called Truth Be Told. It's with DJ from Full House and David James Elliott from JAG, who I absolutley love. Just felt like sharing.

Last night was fun. I felt a really awkward at first because I think I stole someone's seat. I came in a couple of minutes into the A-Team so I couldn't really say Hi to anyone. One thing though, was this guy I think I have a little crush on was there, but he left when Supernatural came on, so I didn't talk to him. Watching Supernatural was awesome though. It was so much fun to watch with other people who squealed and awwed at appropriate moments. I cannot wait until next week. Plus both Supernatural and Doctor Who are westerns next week, which will be awesome. Even though I'm not part of the DW club, I'm going to see if I can watch it with some of the people who I watched Supernatural with, most of whom are part of the club. I'm finally having somewhat of a social life and now in a year it'll be over. I regret not staying in the HP club freshman year so so much now.

Lesson learned: Feeling awkward can still lead to having fun.

Tonight's gonna be a good night.

Tonight is going to be fun! Supernatural is back on and I'm going to watch it with some people from the HP club. I'm a bit nervous because I've never really hung out with them before and I've never watched any TV show with someone other than my family, let alone Supernatural. I might freak out a bit depending how tense the episode is so hopefully I won't flail all over the place. I guess after yesterday's post though I should just relax and be myself.

I also got an exam over with today and I thought it went well. This means only 3 exams and 4 papers left in the semester!! I'll finish 2 papers this weekend and one exam on Tuesday!! I wish I could say this would make me more relaxed, but after I finish them I have my longest paper to work on next weekend, which I am the most nervous for. I hope I have enough material for it. It does help though that Doctor Who will also be back on next weekend!!

What's the point?

This morning after I posted on dailybooth, I received a comment. It wasn't particularly nice. To paraphrase the guy said I needed to put some make up on. First of all, I still think the picture looks fine. Second of all, what was the point of that comment? It didn't accomplish anything. If he had said it to someone who was really insecure, who knows what might have happened. I am a bit insecure, but he made me realize something. I don't give a damn. Before I thought that I cared what people thought about me, but as long as I'm happy and comfortable with myself, I actually don't care what people think. At least appearance wise, that is. My personality is a different story, at least for now.

So guy, who's comment (and pictures as well) make him look a complete jerk, I feel sorry for you because you need to belittle other people to make yourself feel good. I say we should all just be nice and at the very least civil to one another. Of course, this is an ideal and people have been working at this for thousands of years.

Searching.

I love when I go on web searching binges. I looked for summer jobs today, with no luck, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. I found a couple of ads for library clerk jobs, I could apply for, if I was looking for a full-time job. The ads just make me excited for the time I can apply for them. Even though that won't be for 2 or 3 years.

I really do hope to get a job this summer, but I'll probably just end up volunteering because I'm too picky and inexperienced. I tweeted 3 or 4 times today, I hope my family doesn't get annoyed with that.

Coming to a close

Today has been all over the place. It turns out I had to schedule my senior portrait for Thursday. I'm really nervous because I don't know where the room is and I just can't believe college is almost over. I do want it to be over, but at the same time I feel like I'm just starting to make friends. In addition for that I have an interview with someone earlier on Thursday and then later I have to do my PHI with someone else, who has yet to get back to me. A PHI is a practice helping interview, which is basically a practice counseling session.

Thursday is just going to be hectic and it is just so overwhelming. On the bright side, though, Supernatural is back on Friday and hopefully I'll get to watch it with some people from the HP club. That is if the girl who has my number texts me. I will probably end up texting her if she doesn't I'll just feel awkward for doing so. (How, does spell check not know the word "texting"?)

I also decided to start tweeting, possibly excessively, again. I hope this will let me feel closer to people because I feel so isolated right now. My twitter.

This will be short.

I just have to post something today otherwise I will be really mad at myself for not completing BEDA. One paper is down five more to go for the semester! Also, I had a fun time voting for officers at our HP club meeting tonight. The end.

P.S. Watching videos from the Jus in Bello Supernatural con in Italy make me extremely excited for July!

Once again...

It's late, 10:25 pm to be exact. I'm about to watch one last episode of Eureka for today. I think I got a lot accomplished today. I pretty much finished my paper for Friday, meaning I really only have to add a paragraph of class material, hopefully some of tomorrow's class will be applicable. I've got an interviewee for my project due next week. And I went to watch some Red Nose Day skits from our HP, Doctor Who and Monty Python clubs. They were all really hilarious. My favorite had to be one where Cedric gets Avada Kedavra'd and yells "find!" as his last word. There was also one on pick-up lines that was hilarious and that my friend wrote.

Here's the program:

Saturday, April 9, 2011

The entire day I spent attempting to write my paper due this week. Instead I procrastinated and watched Indiana Jones and Star Wars. At least I got a page and a half done. I also found this interesting site called GetGlue. It's really interesting especially for someone who loves stickers and entertainment. You can like all your favorite TV shows, movies, books, etc. and get stickers for certain things. After you get 20 stickers you can have them shipped to you for free! I only have 4 right now, but it's only the first day.

It's also my parent's anniversary. I thought it was pretty funny because when I wished my mom a happy anniversary she said I was the first person to tell her that. She and my dad had completely forgotten.

Currently: watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Teddy Grahams

Awkwardness

The entire day it has been pouring out and I made the mistake this morning to wear sneakers. They got soaked through and even my socks were wet. Thankfully, after two classes I was able to get back to my room and change into boots before heading out to my last class.

Okay, I had something really awkward and embarrassing happened on Monday. As I was leaving the bathroom, after one of my classes, there was a girl standing in line who looked really familiar. So I said her name questioningly and waved, but instead she just looked at me strangely and said "no". This is what happens when you go to a college with 40,000 people. I hate it when things like that happen to me, which is probably why I normally don't say hi to someone unless they smile or wave at me first. Another awkward thing happened yesterday. A girl on my floor accidentally opened my door thinking it was hers, I didn't really see her, but she apologized. It wasn't awkward for me, but I feel bad for her because I've almost done that multiple times and I've felt stupid afterwards. I'm sure she is laughing now though.

Currently: eating Milano cookies, wishing I had milk and completely procrastinating on my paper.

Randomness

I haven't been this satiated in a really long time. I just had a dinner of chicken tenders and curly fries and it reminded me so much of my childhood, good times. I'm actually in the middle of finishing up a paper right now, but I had the sudden urge to write this instead, probably because I just want to procrastinate, but Hey Whatever. Yes, that link was completely random, but they are an awesome band. That is what I shall do from now on - if I use some kind of lyrics to a song I know, I will randomly link to a YouTube video of it. That way it'll be like I'm breaking into song, because that is what I do when I recognize a phrase from a song :)

I'm excited that Bones is finally back on tonight (though I would be more excited if it was Supernatural)! It is the one show both me and my mom watch and love. And even though she is four hours away I still talk to her on the phone during it. My mom is definitely one of my best friends and I feel extremely lucky that I can say that. We compare our lives to Gilmore Girls way too often in my opinion.

I should probably get back to finishing my paper now.

Thoughts on Grades

So, I fail at this. I'm such a procrastinator. There is only half an hour left to today and I'm just now writing this. My problem is that I think of things during the day, but then decide I'm not in the mood to do them at that moment and then I forget about them. This needs to stop and I have a feeling it happens mostly because I watch way too much TV. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop this madness (aside from getting rid of my TV)?

For the first time all year a thought occurred to me: why do I really care if I get an A or a B on assignment? If I get a C it's not the end of the world. Grades will not count in the real world (when I get there), so why should I care about them now. If I get Cs in all my classes I will still graduate from college. After I had this thought, of course I snapped myself out of it because obviously I need a decent GPA to get into Grad school.

So many people don't want college to end because they are afraid of getting thrown into the real world with no idea what they want to do. I'm different, in that I finally know what I want to do, but I can't start it until I get to Grad school. I'm sure one day I'll be grateful that I chose the major I did, however, at this moment in time I just want it to be over with. This could just be the massive overload of papers I have to do talking though.

A Quick Post

It's late and it's been a long day. After the classes I had today I went to the library for a paper to ask some questions. I didn't really get that much info because I didn't want to take up the librarians time. I then went to the convenience store to get some things for dinner. I ended up with a frozen pizza and some Turkey Hill ice cream. I've decided that Turkey Hill is very milky and Ben and Jerry's is too rich, which are the only two brands that seem to be available downtown and at my college. However, my college produces amazing freshly made ice cream. The thing is though I usually get my food to go and that makes it difficult to get ice cream. I obviously love ice cream though so to me it really doesn't matter what type it is, it makes me happy.

It makes me sad I haven't had time to play the guitar for a couple of days.

Exams and Summer

I had an exam today in my intro IST class and in my opinion it was too difficult for a general ed requirement. Of course, I was probably only confused on 3 or 4 of the questions, but it really frustrates me. Especially when the questions are really vague and you have no idea what they could be pertaining to. I'm sure that annoys other people as well and not just me. I hate asking professors questions, I'm not sure why. I know other people do, I guess I just want to do it on my own.

I just can't wait until this semester is over. I've already scheduled for fall and those will be the last college classes I will ever take aside from my internship credit. Of course there is still my masters to do, but honestly that is going to be 10 times more interesting to me than what I'm doing now.

I cannot wait until summer!! I plan to go to the HP exhibit in NY over the summer and probably tons of stuff at the gift shop. Also, I'm going to the Salute to Supernatural con in NJ in July!!!!!!! This means I get to meet Misha!!!!!! I've already bought my tickets and that includes a photo op with Misha!! I'm sure you can tell I'm excited. I also get to see Jared Padalecki! This summer will be totally awesome!

Very Uninteresting

I feel like I'm probably the most boring person that's ever written a blog. I have no patience to sit and plan out what I'm going to write, I just write. At this moment all I'm doing is sitting watching ACM awards, which really hasn't been interesting yet. Dierks Bentley is pretty good though. Later I'll watch Body of Proof and then go to bed. Also all I did was watch a couple of episodes of Eureka today and read for class.

I know no one thought that was interesting (if anyone is even reading this). Oh, I did make the youtube video I said I was going to. It's a cover of Crazy Love, just click the link. I've also braided my hair in hopes that it will be a little wavy when it dries. Today, I was completely lazy and that's really all I can say. I'm sitting here trying to think of interesting to write, but honestly their is nothing, sorry:(

Songs played on guitar today: 2

BEDA 2011

Okay, I've decided to commit to this!! I really did nothing today, but study for an IST exam I have on Monday and practice a couple songs on my guitar and ukulele. I'll probably be uploading a song to youtube tomorrow because I haven't put up a video for over a year and I feel like it. Even though I hate my youtube name I just don't have the patience to make a new one. It's not like I even have any subscribers, but whatever, I do what I want!
All the posts this month will most likely be short unless I find something interesting to talk about. I really should have been writing a paper as well today and probably some other stuff, but I had a horrible sleep last night and I just didn't feel like dealing with that. I also watched The Parent Trap today. I can probably recite that whole movie, but it never gets old. Oh!! Today I found out that Torchwood comes back July 8th on Starz!!! I'm not sure I get that channel at home, but I know it'll be online somewhere. I cannot wait!!
That's really all I can think of to say for today!

Possibly doing BEDA

Thinking of doing Blog Every Day in April again this year, but I really have nothing exciting to share. I guess we'll see how it goes. This morning two of my classes were canceled, which was such a relief, even though all I did with that time was sleep. Last weekend I read two books, neither of which were the book I have to read for class. I read Bookmarked to Death, which is part of a really good series. The books are nice relaxing mysteries about a mystery book store owner in a town that thrives on books. The other book I read was The City of Ember, which I had been wanting to read for a long time. It was excellent even though it is a children's book, that doesn't matter to me.

The next book I'm planning to read is A Discovery of Witches. I got it on my Nook, so I can finally read another book on it and make it feel useful.
I really should do some work this weekend, particularly on my interview paper so I can get it done, but I'm soo lazy. I just started watching Eureka and all I want to do is watch another episode!!
