Hey there!
So, after a lovely weekend in the Twin Cities, I didn't get the Monday blues that bad yesterday... at least until the time had come to do my laundry and homework, ugh. Anywho, I had a few really weird dreams last night that I thought I'd blog about. So, here goes!
Dream number one: My mother and I were in some sort of mall and we walked into this store that reminded me of Hot Topic but it wasn't. We looked around a bit and then decided that I needed a dress for some upcoming dance. All of a sudden a slew of upperclassmen from Roncalli were in the store as well, like Angie Gust and Allie whats-her-name, and Mel Holzinger etc. They all started to tell me which dresses were the most like the ones they had worn to prom. I'm not sure if they wanted me to get the dresses that were like theirs or not but my mom disagreed about everything. Eventually the other girls left so it was just me and my mom, and my mom decided to buy me a red dress. However the shopgirl said that we couldn't buy that one. Then the dream ended. Lol kind of lame but it was really confusing as it was happening.
Dream number two: I went on poupee and everthing was normal, but suddenly I refresh the page and I have this crazy hair-do where the hair is half-covering my face and looks likes it's kind of blowing in the wind and I'm wearing yellow knee high socks over flared jeans with the black starter heels and a yellow tank top and my calender shows that I've been wearing this all through the time-travel event and the background for the event was all messed up and pixely in my snapshots and nearly all my ribbons were gone....It was very sad and alarming. Thank goodness it was only a dream! (goes to check poupee) Yep, only a dream.
Well, that's all I feel like writing for now...Bye!

STFU WHORE! And the WTF Questions of the Day.
So, this blog will mainly revolve around the awesome guy in religion that I'm in love with, lol, who shall be known only as Awesome Guy. (Since Awesome Guy is pretty much the only thing that Catey doesn't cover in her blogs from my life besides work and classes which aren't too exciting right now.)
So! Yesterday I arrive outside of our Eastern Religion classroom, but there's some class about Judaism in there before us and we have to wait until they are done to go in. So everyone is sitting around outside the door just chilling, including Awesome Guy. I sit down a good distance down the way from him, since I'm shy and am afraid to really talk to him (sigh.) Suddenly One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor arrives and plops herself down next to Awesome guy and starts chattering away with him!
"You said you were a writer! So am I! That's so cool I thought I was the only one!" says One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor with enthusiasm.
Awesome guy smiles and nods.
"So me and some of my friends were going to get together and to a little writing and meditation circle sometime and you should totally come join us, it would be like, so spiritual and cool!" One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor continues.
Awesome guy replies, "That sounds good. I'll have to see."
"Cool!" One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor responds, clearly enamored.
This entire time I'm sitting there like "What? I knew he was a writer too! And I'm a writer too! I just don't go parading down the street saying that I like to write! Get away from him! Shut the fuck up you whore! He's mine, MINE!" And I hope to god that Awesome Guy doesn't start to hang out with One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor because she's really annoying and weirdly into Buddhism without really knowing much about it... and that just doesn't seem like Awesome Guy's bag to me. Lol because I know what his bag is...I've never even talked to him!
So, a little more information about how One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor got her little nickname. Every class, her and her counterpart The Other One of Those Two Girls Who Always Ask Stupid Questions, Waste Our Class Times, and Act Like They are Smarter than the Professor will, without fail, ask one or two questions about the reading that are either completely irrelevant to what we are talking about, really stupid with obvious answers, or are simply preludes to relating some anecdote that they feel is essential for the class to hear and discuss (believe me, their anecdotes are completely pointless.) They do all of this with an air of intellectual superiority that just makes the situation even more ridiculous. Plus, the proffessor tries to answer their little queries sincerely and thouroughly, all the while sighing and glancing at the clock. Needless to say we have fallen behind the syllabus's schedule.
Because of this amusing, if rather exasperating, situation I have set aside a section in the back of my notebook entitled "The WTF Questions of the Day." I already have two lovely gems including:
"If the Hindus worship the Ramayana, why don't we worship the Odessy and the Iliad?"
and
"Didn't everyone have to wear bells so people knew you were coming?"
You should have seen the professor's face.
Anyway... I sit at the end of the same table as Awesome Guy, so there are only two people between us, yay! Maybe I'll talk to him sometime? I think I'll have to. He is also in my Theatre Appreciation class, but he sits nowhere near me. Still, there's another oppurtunity for us to chat, if I work up the nerve. He seems very nice so he's not likely to like...I don't know... shoot me down for making awkward conversation. Right! I'm going to do it! I'm going to talk to him damnit!
Well, I've got nothing else to say. Tata!

My Gift is My Song!
So at Kory's request, I shall write another blog!
Well, since Catey has already written about most of the time we've spent here, I guess I can talk about all that goes on when Catey's not around, lol.
First of all, classes. I really, really like Theatre Appreciation! The professor's awesome and we're reading mostly good plays! I say mostly because the first play we're looking at is Oedipus Rex, though he does make it fun. We watched a clip from a film version of Oedipus that was waaaay better than the one we watched in junior year English class! What the heck Mr. Waak?! Anyway, I finished reading Oedipus and (in an attempt to procrastinate reading icky Psychology) I went on to reading Othello, which I like so far and which we are reading after Oedipus. Yes I know, I like reading Shakespeare, and that is odd. However, I embrace it.
Psychology...I've only had one class so far, and although the professor is pretty cool, I do not like the whole reading one chapter between every class, especially since I have class two days in a row. :(
Geology is meh. The professor isn't exciting nor however is he boring. We've only had two lectures which were very basic and introductory, but there's a lab coming up on Tuesday, so I'll have to reserve judgment until then.
Spanish kind of scares me. I can listen to people speak Spanish but it's hardish for me to formulate what I want to say in time to say it, lol. Also, lots of homework. I have no idea if this is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing...my backup would be either English (really scary!) or Arts Management. Sigh, we shall have to see.
And finally, Eastern Religions. I'm still in love, by the way, with this guy in my class. He's a writer, who can talk. Lol. The class is pretty cool. But I don't like the rest of my classmates. They all have like...obvious fanatic interest in Buddhism and are all upset that we're starting with Hinduism. It's rather pathetic. Some of them are kind of weeabooish too. But hey, whatever.
So yeah. That's pretty much it. In my spare time I've been drawing and writing and reading and the usual. Just hanging with Catey and lately Aaron and...whoever his doormmate was, lol. Copper Boom!
Well, Catey and I are off to the DUC. Later!

The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Muuuusic!
Well, despite what the title says, this blog will be about my first two days of classes....
So! On Wednesday at 9 in the morning was my Geology Lecture. It was alright. We just looked at the syllabus and talked about what to expect. We got done a little early so I had about an hour break until Eastern Religion at 11. It seems like it will be a good class. I like the Professor; he's young-ish and Italian lol. The only thing I didn't like about him was that he seemed to have already picked favorites in the half hour that we had class. BUT! I sat next to this awesome guy and I'm in love! Haha. But seriously, I want to be friends! He's just so awesome, I can't explain! Hmm then I don't quite remember what I did for the rest of the day... Hung out with Catey? Yes I believe so. Oh yes, I also went to the Library to train for my job. My supervisor reminds me of Mrs. Guay...and she's like in love with me or something. She says that I "have such good taste. And you look so professional and I love the way you do your make-up and you sounded so polite on the phone!" And yadda yadda yadda and now I'm totally afraid that she's going to realize I'm not that good and I will let her down....so she should stop complimenting me! Tell me you hate me! lol.
Right, so then yesterday I had Theatre Appreciation at 11. As I was walking up the stairs to class, I hear someone call my name behind me. I turn around and lo and behold it's Garret! So we talked as we walked to class about our halls and classes and what not. Then we got to class and went our separate ways. I began to read the syllabus. It seemed really super strict and I was begining to dread having chose this class...but just then the Professor got up at the front (which was a stage) and said, extremely campily, "Welcome to Theatre Appreciation!" And I was like "Yesssss!" on the inside. He's so funny and engaging and really seems to know his shit so I can't wait for more of that class! It's like film and theatre but with no film and more theatre! After class Garret and I talked again and both shared how the syllabus scared us but were both pleasantly surprised by our awesomely gay Professor! He's like a bigger Emmett! Haha.
After Theatre App Catey and I had lunch during which we decided to rescue Aaron. Twas a very good idea on her part as it wasn't awkward at all. I think we might be friends by the end of the year, lol. And we finally got his number, yay!!!! (haha, four exclamation points!)
Then it was time for the dreaded Spanish, where I discovered that, for as well as I can read and listen to Spanish; I can't speak (or probably write) it worth crap. :( I'm definately going to have to work on that. We talked about the Syllabus and D2L and the $72 work books we had to buy and then got with a partner and introduced them to the class.
Then I came back to my dorm and read my Religion stuff before Catey and I went to the DUC to get the rest of our books, get mochas, and buy tickets for Inspektor General and Rent (both of which are required viewing for Theatre Appreciation.) Later we chilled in Catey's room before coming over to my place to watch OotP and talk with Gretchen a bit, which went pretty well if I do say so myself. Then the movie ended and Catey went back to her place and Gretchen and I went to sleep.
So! I'm really liking college so far. I like the freedom and the free time. It's actually forcing me to not do my homework at the last minute! Weird concept I know, but it's actually really nice! I'm actually starting to think of my dorm room as "home" too, which is weird after only one week, I must admit.
Well, here's to the college life! May it be fun and informative, and never more than we can handle!
P.S. I miss everyone and can't wait to see some of you this weekend! Love all around!
