A Little Bit of Everything

The grades for my astronomy midterm were finally posted (two weeks after we took it) and I got and 85.6 and I can live with it. Again, not many people got As, so a B+ is perfectly fine with me. I also got a 96 on one of my theatre papers and a 92 on the other (even though I wrote it 10 minutes before class lol). I don't have all of my final exam dates yet, but as of right now my last one is on May 2nd, which means I can either come home on the 2dn or the 3rd, I don't know yet. Knowing my luck though, my history exam will be on the 4th and I'll have to stay all week.

I'm really disappointed that I can't go to Ry's party this sunday, but my friend Ashlee has really made up for it. She bought me tickets to go see Little Shop of Horrors at Shea's on Sunday night. She said it's an early birthday present :-) We just have to figure out how we're going to get there since neither of us have the extra cash for a cab. We might ask Whitney if we can borrow her car, I'm not sure about that one though, but you never know.

Last night was so much fun, for once there were things going on in this building. It started with a random picture adventure with Char, Ash, and me followed by a dance party in my room to the cheesiest music ever. Then there was another random picture adventure with Stephanie, Little Ashley, and Katie. Then we ended up in the kitchen where a bunch of people from my floor were making dinner for us all. It was sooooooooo good. There were at least 10 of us crowded around a small table eating rice and beans and chicken (most of them are hispanic). DJ Nique even made an appearance and said he'd make us all breakfast sometime, but only if we go to club Level this Saturday night (he's DJing there). I am completely broke so I won't go, but most of the other girls are going.

Well now that I've bored everyone with stories about people you don't know, I'm going to go shower and possibly do something productive before my 4:30 class.

Spring Break

Well my spring break is now over. It was fun but I was ready to come back to Buffalo, believe it or not. I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in forever and it was amazing. I miss how we all used to hang out and have random parties all the time, they were so much more fun than the bars and clubs and whatever else there is out here. I like going out here and everything and I love the peoeple I hang out with in school, but there is no way that they can top the Halo parties and drunken DDR, and a certain guy that ALWAYS ended up crying lol. This weekend it was my turn, I had a mental breakdown in Josh's bathroom with Nikki and Jared. It was pretty funny in all honesty. (btw, thanks Nik and Jared). Other than the party, I went to the mall a lot, spent too much money, saw a couple plays, ate at my favorite place, saw a bunch of my old teachers, watched the munchkins, got rid of the beast and was accused of sleeping with someone who is practically my brother. It was a good time lol. There is always a ton of stuff going on whenever I'm home for breaks, I just hope that this summer is a bit more relaxing lol. I don't think I can deal with four months of solid drama. On the positive side, I only have about 5 and a half more weeks left for this semester, after that I'll be completely done with Buff State. I'll be visiting Ashlee and stuff, but for the most part I plan on staying away from Buffalo. I've got a few things to do before class (because I didn't do them over break like I should have).

HSBC what?

My bank is so messed up. I have no idea what in the world is going on with my money right now. On monday I had -$7, but now miraculously I have almost $100 in there. I haven't touched it. Mom made a deposit, but it wasn't that much. This is so crazy. I was pretty sure I shouldn't have been in hte negative in the first place, but I shouldn't have that much in there either. I'm not complaining that I'm no longer owing money, but it would be nice to know what's going on. I'm just going to stop using that account for a while and let it clear up. That's my rant for today, gotta get back to the munchkins now...Ry is trying to get me to kiss her stinky feet ewww lol.

New Layout for Easter

New Easter blog...I'm on top of things lol. Actually I just never have anything better to do with my time than make new templates when I get bored. Enjoy!

Mid-semester

I can't beleive we're halfway through second semester already! Spring break starts this weekend, so I'm heading home on friday afternoon. The trip is going to be fun this time. It won't be just me and Ashlee, Carolyn is coming to visit for a few days, so she's going back with us, so is Andrew (a kid we graduated with), and Heather, who lives in Fultonville (near Amsterdam). We're going to throw a train party lol. I already have most of break planned out and it's going to get hectic for a few of teh days. I made sure to leave time to relax though.

As far as school and midterms go, I only had two. I was convinced I did well on the history midterm, and I did. I got a B. Only 4 people in the class of 90 got A's, I can settle for a B. Half of the class failed, I don't see how since it's American history, but oh well. The test was two essays, the first I got 51/60 and teh second i got 33/40. Decent. I'll do better next time now that I know his grading system. He's harsh. I also had an astronomy midterm last night, but those grades haven't been posted yet. I honestly don't know how I did on it. I'm hoping to get around an 80. No one really knew what was on it because the prof was out for two weeks so we had a sub. We'll see though. I've decided to drop the Jazz class I'm taking. Six classes is proving to be too much and that class is going to kill my GPA if I don't drop it. So that's what I intend to do tomorrow. No more late class on wednesdays :-)

I had to buy a new mouse today :-/ I wasn't very happy about spending the money, but I need a mouse. I like the one I got though. It's the same one I used to have, but instead of glowing red it glows blue, so it matches my tower now :-) (and blue is better than red anyway)

That's about it in my oh so exciting life. I'm going to bed now since my roommate wouldn't let me sleep last night. I don't function very well on 4 hours of sleep...even with massive amounts of caffeine. Goodnight.

"Miss Maturity"

Last night Ashlee and I went to see Buff State's production of Les Liaisons Danereuses (the play that the movie Cruel Intentions was based on.) We sat down and were reading the programs and whatnot when an obnoxious group of girls came and sat directly behind us. There were about 4 of them, along with their mother. They were ridiculously loud throughout the ENTIRE play! I was ready to turn around and smack every one of them. THe mother too becasue a.) she was just as bad and b.) she did nothing to make them shut up. Now mind you, we were sitting in hte second row, which means they were in the third, since they were so loud, I'm almost positive that the actors on stage could hear them. At the end of the show there is a scene where Valmont and Danceny duel. It's not a comical act. They were laughing obnoxiously through the whole thing. The language of the play was somewhat thick, so naturally it went over their little blonde heads and thus they were bored. Wouldn't the natural reaction to bordom with a show be to leave at intermission? Not for these idiots. SO at the end of the show I turned and politely said "Next time you go to the theatre I suggest you have a little more respect for those around you." and then turned to leave. Well then Big Mama comes pushing through the girls at me and says "Well excuse me Miss Maturity, they're only 16 and it's their first time at the theatre. i think they did very good." I wanted to slap her in her big ugly face. 16??!?!!? I knew how to act in a theatre at age 6 for crying out loud! SO I gave her a look that pretty much said "And your point is....?". She didn't like that too much so she goes off again. "They're not as mature as you, they're only in high school. You need to think about things before you start lecturing." (She would have known if I was lecturing. Refer back to the Respect speech at the Mr. AP show last April, then tell me what lecturing is.) So I sweetly looked at her and said "I'm just saying that you all need to show more respect for the audience around you and the actors onstage." Then I turned away and waited for Ashlee to get her coat on. Meanwhile, , Big Mama and the 4 morons left in a huff. I was still ridiculously angry at this point. Shaking even. On the way back Ash and I met up with Jon, a kid in our theatre class and I yelled across the quad "I hate it when non theatre people go to the theatre!" to which he agreed. He started talking about how he could hear a group of girls through the whole thing, and about how the audience was laughing at the wrong parts. He was sitting at least 8 rows in back of us and in another section...and he heard the pack of idiots behind me. So now, there is no doubt in my mind that the actors heard them. Ugh. I get so angry at the ignorance of others. It's one thing to talk in a movie theatre, but to talk during a live show? Come on, have some manners. But whatever, they can embarrass themselves all they want.


This is clearly why white trash does not belong at anything remotely cultural. Idiots.

Then Ash and I went to Pano's and it was amazing. So I was less angry. Now I have to write a paper on the show. I don't know how good it will be thanks to the idiots behind me, but I'll try (and there will be a footnote describing why I couldn't concentrate on the show lol)

Awesome Day :-)

I'm having one of the best days ever for absolutely no reason. I had to get up at 8:30 and take a History midterm. That's what made me so happy. For once I knew exactly what I was doing in class. I studied the right material and everything! The only problem with it was that I had to write two essays in an hour and fifteen minutes. Since I knew so much my first essay was rather long and I only had about twenty-five minutes to write the second one. The first was worth more points though and I'm pretty confident that I rocked its world. After that I went to psych. For once I wasn't bored out of my mind. I took really good notes and knew exactly what was going on and everything. Char was complaining about how long and boring the class was, but I actually got into it today. Then I came back to my room and passed by a whole bunch of people I knew on the way. It's amazing how good it makes you feel when you can say hi to at least 4 people in a twenty foot walk lol. After that I had a short break and then got ready to go to the last class of the day. Theatre. I was dreading it. It's no fun anymore. Anyway, Ash and I walked over there hating the class more as we got closer, then we saw the best thing EVER! A sign on the door saying class was cancelled!!! Everyone in the class was SOOOO happy :-)

More Apps

Today Charlene and I went up the other end of Elmwood in search of jobs. I haven't heard anything from any of the other places so oh well. We walked a total of about 8 miles today and got applications for Blockbuster, Holloywood video, Bath & Body Works, Target, Applebees, Office Max, Office Depot, Fashoin Bug, Regal Cinema and some random little restaurant called Papa Jake's. Hollywood and Bath & Body said they were definately hiring, and Target is hiring at the end of the month. So hopefully we don't run into as many dead ends this time. I've got class in about 20 minutes so I've gotta cut this short.

I GET TO SEE NOELLE IN 10 DAYS!!!!!! (I haven't seen her since winter break)

Another New Hair Color

I think I like this one...for now anyway

Player?

I guess college has turned me into a player. I'm sort of leading on 3 guys right now...and it's starting to get a little hectic lol. Anthony is 22 and a journalism major with a show on the college radio station. He's absolutely hilarious! I've only known him for a few weeks but he's so much fun and we've been haning out a lot, especially this past week. I think he's my favorite so far. Next is Spencer is 19, he's from Cairo which is near the Catskills and he goes to school in Kentucky but is home for personal reasons now. I randomly met him through a few friends and we talk online and on the phone and whatnot and he's a pretty cool kid. The only thing is that he's a straight edge, and though I'm not a party girl I still like to go out and have fun, get a little tipsy...you know lol. We're going to go see a movie when I go home for spring break in a couple weeks. The third one is Jake. I'm not really that into him we have a good time when we hang out. I haven't seen him in a while but we talk now and then, he's a little too intense for me though. He's the artsy type and he's really into "deep conversations" and things like that. I just like to have fun. I'm too indecisive to settle on just one right now though lol...is that bad? I always hated the players in high school but I guess that's probably because I was the one getting played...but when you're the player it's kind of fun. It makes me feel pretty good about myself too...haha I never had this many guys after me...ever. (These are only the ones i like back...there are about 4 more that want me too) At the same time it's really annoying. I'm going to have to get a big stick pretty soon haha.

On the academic front, I'm not doing terribly, but I'm not doing as well as I'd like to be. I got a 70 on the astronomy test (it was too boring to study so I didn't). I got an 84 on my psych test though...and I didn't even know there was a test that day. My music class is killing me though. I had no idea what he was going to put on hte test, and even though I studied I still got a D. I was pissed. Apparently I have to memorize the stupid textbook...that the teacher wrote. I'm waiting to get my history paper back, I'm not sure how I did on that either since he didn't really tell us what to write about. I'm also waiting on an English paper which I half-assed 10 minutes before class. I really don't like most of my classes anymore. I feel so lost in all of them for some reason. None of them stick to the schedules on the syllabus so I never know when to have anything ready and most of the textbooks are ridiculously boring so I fall asleep on them. I just have to suck it up and take it for another 2 months...I have to stop slacking so much though. I don't want my GPA to drop. I hate the though that I might get anything below a 3.0 lol. I was disappointed with a 3.4...and this semester I was going to try to get it up to at least a 3.6, I'm positive that's not going to happen, but I still want it to be above a 3. We'll see how it goes though.
