Well, I seem to have time on my hands, I may as well blog right? The trouble is that nothing much has happened since I last blogged. Finals are coming nearer, obviously. It's really hard to think that in a little over a week, I will be done with this semester and back in Manitowoc. And it's really, really hard to think that in a little over a month I will be in London for the duration of a three and a half months.

Yeah, that's supposed to be a shocked/surprised face. That is the face I will be making when I board the plane on January 14th. Speaking of which, we are having a little meeting tomorrow night with the group, but Catey cannot be there. I'm kind of nervous. What if everyone's... undesirable? lol. I'm going to be spending a lot of time with these people, so I had better like them! Though, there's little chance of that. I generally hate people. Mostly because most of the people around here are douchebags and tools and not at all my type of person. I crave cool people! People who will get my random references to Shakespeare and old movies! Lol, that may be a little too much to ask. Besides, it's not as if liking Shakespeare and old movies means someone is cool or a good sort of person. It does tend to help though, lol.
So, I guess I'll wrap this up (I haven't been to Wrap it Up in a long time!) and go play Animal Crossing or something. I should probably start studying for finals soon but... eh. I've got all weekend, right?
Here's to the Fall 2010 Semester! The least eventful of them all!
P.S. -Everyone needs to stop giving me chocolate! And snacks! And...juice boxes!!!!

I'm Still Doing This Blog Thing I Guess
Well kids, it's been a while. This semester is almost over and I haven't blogged a word since what, July? August?
Let's see. Well, my last entry was compaining about my roommate. She's not that bad, actually. She's a damn sight better than my last one. We don't talk at all, but she's at least curteous and usually out of the room, which is good because I like my solitude. However, tonight she is doing something that is kind of annoying and that she's done one time before: going to bed at seven at night. It's weird, but I'll just assume she's been up for a while and really needs it. Thus, I finished be homework here in the lab in the Smith Hall basement, where I am currently writing this blog.
I can't wait for this semester to be over! It's been going fast enough, which is weird considering that I haven't had much to do. I've been working every other weekend, been to Madison twice, been home a few times, but I haven't seen much of Adam since he dropped, nor have I seen Kory's new room at the old U of M, nor will I for, well, a year!
Because I'm going to London in the spring!!!!!!!
I'm so excited. Also nervous. But mostly excited. I'll have three roommates but...one of them will be Catey, my dear friend! And I'll be in London! Did I mention that? For three whole months!
Anyway, what's been going on in my life?
Not much. I tried NaNo again this year. I got more than halfway there before my story came to a crashing halt and the amount of school work became overwhelming. It's an idea that I'd like better as a play, though, which I may attempt to write someday. Some good came out of it though. I miss writing, and it gave me the oppurtunity to be creative, which I don't get too often when I'm busy with school. Oddly enough, as soon as I scrapped this year's NaNo, I got a new idea for a story. I don't think I'm going to write it out though. It would probably work better as a comic, so maybe that will be my project over this next summer. Or not, we'll see.
School's been alright, I guess. I'm doing well in all my classes. I may be getting some Bs this semester though, potentially in Environmental History (because my big paper sucked), Spanish (because I made some stupid mistakes on the midterm), and Biology (because Feldman is just... ugh!). I wrote an awesome paper on King Lear and Kurosawa's Ran, though, lol. I'm kind of really proud of it and am going to add it to my collection of awesome papers I've written about Shakespeare. Be jealous :P
Anyway, I've been really in to Florence and the Machine lately. Lungs is just an amazing album that always takes me on a magical journey (and no, I don't care how corny that sounds, it's true.) I've also been digging Regina Spektor more and more, especially the songs where it's just her and her piano. She has such amazing story-telling skills! And I've found a fun Irish punk band called the Tossers that are awesome (and predate Flogging Molly and the Dropkick Murphys) But alas, just as I am discovering all kinds of music that I love, my iPod dies. For no reason. It's just dead. It is pushing up daisies. It has bought the farm. It has ceased to be. It is an ex-iPod.
So I'm thinking about getting a Zune. We'll see how that turns out.
So yeah, this has been all over the place, but I've nothing else to do right now. I've been feeling like reading the old Dragonlance Chronicles again... and Legends... too bad they are at my house in Manitowoc. Oh well. I guess I'll end it here before another random thought comes...
Why does everyone think strawberries are so delicious? They're disgusting!
And Christmas! I'm excited for my Jane Eyre stuff and my Golden Sun game! And Fantasia on DVD hopefully! And hanging out with my family, which was kind of fun on Thanksgiving (shots with my mom and Kristin!) and will hopefully be fun on Christmas too!

I'm going to miss everyone so much come this spring! I hardly see you all nowadays, so it won't be too different. Still, there will be an ocean between us rather than just a few hours' driving, but that' what the internet is for, right?

Shakespeare Is Always Appropriate
So I haven't blogged in months, obviously, but I'm not going to write in a filler explaining what's been going on since I last blogged because frankly it'd just be boring.
However! Today I finally received my room assignment from school. I opened it immediately after seeing it, and, after finding my new roommate's name, immediately went to see her Facebook page.
Here's a little quote from King Lear that sums up my reaction:
Lear: No.
Kent: Yes.
Lear: No, I say.
Kent: I say, yea.
Lear: No, no they would not.
Kent: Yes, they have.
Lear: By Jupiter, I swear, no.
Kent: By Juno, I swear, ay.
Lear: They durs't not do't; They could not, would not do't; 'tis worse than murder
To do upon respect such violent outrage!
Imagine that with me as Lear and with Harsh Reality as Kent, and you've got it perfect. I mean, now cruel is it that I get two complete ditzes two years in a row? And this one looks like she may be worse than Gretchen! I didn't even think that was possible!
Of course, it's very likely that I am judging a book by its cover and should probably reserve my judgement until I actually meet her. Afterall, she may be a perfectly sweet sort of girl who will try her best to put up with me and we may end up bosom companions for life...BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.
I mean, the way she describes herself is reminiscent of a 13 year old, let alone a self-respecting college student! Take a look at it! http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1336258140&ref=ts
How am I ever going to get along with her? I tried, I really did, with Gretchen. I was nice and courteous to her face, despite the amount of bitching I did to all my friends, and we were always on civil terms! Yet, I needed to bitch in order to keep sane in that environment of constant self-repression! Now I fear that this year will be the same thing all over again!
Ye gods I hope I'm wrong! I hope she'll be tolerable and not annoying and not prone to staying up late! If I have to work the opening shift at work, which I will more than likely, I had better be able to get my sleep, damnit!
Okay, I'll stop ranting angrily. Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe it will. Who knows? The only comfort I can get from this is that I will only have to put up with her for one semester. London never looked so good!
Here's another quote from King Lear, this time summing up my mood: Gloucester: "As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods,— They kill us for their sport."

College Life Resumes
Yes, I am finally back at Stevens Point! It's almost as if Winter Break, that more than a month long stretch of boredom, never happened, and exams were just last week. Overall I'm glad to be back, even though my workload is going to be more intense this time around.
So, I've now had all of my classes with the exception of LRes. Here are my thoughts on each:
Philosophy 101: Contemporary Moral Problems: Lots of boring reading, though it shouldn't be extremely difficult. Dr. Chan is understandable, which was a concern, but is all good.
Spanish 314: Don Ricardo, as he insists we call him, speaks Spanish with a European accent. I wonder if it will rub off on me? Lots of work in the cuaderno, but all in all it's not too different from last semester.
English 150: I like the prof; he's fun and engaging, but way too long-winded, and tends to repeat himself. The people in the class are cool. There's Awesome Guy and Ellie from Eastern Religion class last semester, who apparently remembers me. We're doing an odd mix of film review, Shakespeare (Othello and King Lear), Nickel and Dimed, and argumentative essays. Apparently these are all somehow related. Lots of in and out of class writing assignments, as well as lots of watching movies outside of class. This is definitely going to be the source of the majority of my homework.
Poli-Sci 160: Comparative Politics: Wasn't as scary as I thought, but I was in the back row behind some Shaggy impersonator and could see nothing. Again, lots of reading, but nothing I shouldn't be able to handle.
Well, there you have it. My classes with the exception of LRes and Wellness 123, which is not until April. This semester promises to be more academic than last...probably not as many Super Smash Bros. and Golden Eye filled nights and no Glee and Perkins nights until April! But alas! What can be done? Oh, and is it just me, or do there seem to be noticeably less people on campus now than last semester? From the sidewalks to DeBot, it seems strangely empty. It's disconcerting, as I always think I'm late or really early when I leave for class.
Well that's it for this entry. Bye!

The Princess and the Frog and Up
So, my first semester of college is over and done with. Rather bittersweet if you ask me. So far I've been home two days, and pretty much all I've done is watch movies with my mother, lol. I suppose now would be a good time to say SPOILERS ALERT! :D In case anyone cares.
First was Up. I loved it! The first ten minutes made me cry, and I loved how it didn't have a typical romance or anything. The animation was lovely, as is to be expected from Pixar, and the characters were all so funny and engaging. Pixar seems to have their formula down pretty well, and while I'm waiting for them to do something completely out side of the box, Up was a step in the right direction.
Now, The Princess and the Frog . . . what can I say? I am so happy that traditional 2-D animation is getting some love again! For Disney's return to their traditional format, I think it delivered. Seeing as the movie was risk in and of itself simply because it was 2-D, Disney seemed to avoid taking too many risks concerning the plot devices and the animation itself. I loved the vintage animation when Tiana was singing about her restaurant, it was a nice contrast to the very bland, very quintessentially Disney canon style the rest of the movie had (but again, they didn't seem to want to take too many risks with this being their 'return' to 2-D), the design of frogs included. Especially bland were some of the background characters, particularly the trio of girls Naveen was wooing towards the beginning of the movie; they really bugged me for some reason. Charlotte, however, was very thoughtfully animated. Her personality was apparent in everything she did, and it was really a treat to watch. Her voice acting also cracked me up in a good way.
Aside from Charlotte, Dr. Faucilier (spelling?) was my favorite. I wish, as I think most people do, that there was more of his background and more of him in this story. I think he was a great character, and some of his potential was wasted on a slightly hurried plot. Much of the second half felt like a climactic play, in which cause and effect directly move the plot forward and every line and all the action are absolutely key as far as the audiences understanding is concerned.
Ray the firefly was one character I was fully prepared to hate and tag as annoying, but I found I actually didn't mind him so much. The whole Evangeline thing was very cute, and the whole ending up as a star thing actually made me a little teary!
Overall it was a cute movie and I think it should have enough commercial success to fuel at least one more 2-D animation from Disney! (The Snow Queen, anyone?) Whether it will be the start of a retro-revolution is hard to say at this point. It was certainly better than many of their failing features from the early New Millenium (such as Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire; both of which I personally like, though they're not my favorites by a long shot!)
The next movie my mom wants to watch with me is Moulin Rouge, a definite favorite of mine :) I wonder if she'll be able to make it through the twenty minute whirlwind in the beginning. . .
Well that's it for now. Bye!
P.S. Christmas in a week, yay!

Finals Week
Dun dun duuuuun! It's finals week!
It's really only just hitting me now that I don't have any more classes left this semester, only those horrible, dreaded exams. For me, they aren't horrible because they're an Uber-Test, they're horrible for me because I never know how much time to spend studying. In high school, I would almost always study either too much or too little. I can never find the happy medium between sluffing off all my studying by procrastination and getting into full-out Hermione Granger mode where I study so much my mind completely shuts down and I can't retain anything.
So, today being the Saturday before finals, the day my friends are gone, and the day that I'm all alone at work, I feel like I should be studying . . . but I can't seem to get into the mood. It feels too early; I'm more a "night before" kind of gal. Occasionally I'll study a few nights before hand, like for my super tricky psychology tests, but genarally, spending a few hours studying the night before with a relatively large break in between study times has been the best method for me.
However, seeing as I'll be having a lonely night up in Smith Hall, I should probably do the audio parts for my Spanish workbook and do a bit of Spanish studying (which is one subject where you pretty much have to cram!)
Well, this was a rather boring and pointless post (aren't they all? well, some more than others I guess) but I have nothing better to do on a slow day at work anyway. Two and a half more hours to go . . .

Thanksgiving in Retrospect
So, I've just gotten back from Thanksgiving break, and I'm not sure what I thought of such an extended time in good ol' Manitowoc.
Wednesday night was good, we went to Manitowoc Coffee, watched Glee, and had a little reunion at Perkins. Thanksgiving itself was only so-so, I didn't eat much, which is weird for me because I usually pig out on Thanksgiving, though Lisa's cooking wasn't up to par so whatever. Thursday night was lots of fun though! Drinking with your closest friends is so much more fun than with people you hardly know or don't know at all! And we even got a ride for the night, hooray! And we have some goodies left over, hooray! Lol, so yeah, must do that again!
Then there was Friday, the day I got my hair cut. I like it, tis a good hair cut, so all was well there. Then, my mom made my family our own little Thanksgiving dinner since the boys had to work on Thanksgiving proper, and she even gave me two presents for Saint Nick's day early: Scribblenauts and the Star Trek DVD. I played Scribblenauts for hours and, though it can be frustrating to say the least, it's a lot of fun! So then, Saturday rolls around and I have to get up early yet again for an eye appointment at noon, tee hee. They upped my perscription and discovered there is nothing wrong with my right eye so that's good I guess. I can finally see! Anyway, so then my mother and I went to Maurice's and Kohls and shopped a little bit before getting Starbucks and returning home, where I played the Wii while I still could and more Scribblenauts of course. By the time my mom left for work, I was home alone and decided to watch Star Trek on the HD TV with the sweet sound system cranked up. It was epic! I love that movie! I didn't think I'd like it at all but I did! So once the movie was over I went to hide in my room (as my dad so kindly puts it) and drew some random comic thingies of some of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters from Dragonlance. . . which somehow included a quote from Hunchback of Notre Dame in them, lol.
Sunday I ate brunch with my mom (and a surrogate sister!) at Time Out, a place that I actually miss, though I hardly admit it. (Oh, my God, this guy just came in with Lady Gaga's Bad Romance playing really loud on his Ipod and he totally doesn't look like the type to like Lady Gaga...I am amused!) Anyway, I packed up all my crap, played the Wii one last time, then joined up with Catey to head back to Point.
Once we lost and found Catey's car keys, smuggled in the goodies, and got all our crap back into our respective rooms, Catey, Aaron, Adam, and I went to Perkins for dinner since Debot was apparently still closed. We discussed the mysteries of cheese on apple pie and just how weird Catey was . . . Then we went back to my place to "watch" Thoroughly Modern Millie. We ended up watching videos on Youtube including The Onion, the Berries and Cream guy, and Eddie Izzard (love!). I didn't get any of my paper written but whatever, twas a fun night.
I've just remembered that my fanfiction updated yesterday and I haven't read it yet! Must go do that. . . bye!
Edit: So I just started reading it and there's quote from Star Trek in it . . . hooray! :D

Anyway, so then my mother and I went to Maurice's and Kohls and shopped a little bit before getting Starbucks and returning home, where I played the Wii while I still could and more Scribblenauts of course. By the time my mom left for work, I was home alone and decided to watch Star Trek on the HD TV with the sweet sound system cranked up. It was epic! I love that movie! I didn't think I'd like it at all but I did! So once the movie was over I went to hide in my room (as my dad so kindly puts it) and drew some random comic thingies of some of my favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters from Dragonlance. . . which somehow included a quote from Hunchback of Notre Dame in them, lol.
Sunday I ate brunch with my mom (and a surrogate sister!) at Time Out, a place that I actually miss, though I hardly admit it. (Oh, my God, this guy just came in with Lady Gaga's Bad Romance playing really loud on his Ipod and he totally doesn't look like the type to like Lady Gaga...I am amused!) Anyway, I packed up all my crap, played the Wii one last time, then joined up with Catey to head back to Point.
Once we lost and found Catey's car keys, smuggled in the goodies, and got all our crap back into our respective rooms, Catey, Aaron, Adam, and I went to Perkins for dinner since Debot was apparently still closed. We discussed the mysteries of cheese on apple pie and just how weird Catey was . . . Then we went back to my place to "watch" Thoroughly Modern Millie. We ended up watching videos on Youtube including The Onion, the Berries and Cream guy, and Eddie Izzard (love!). I didn't get any of my paper written but whatever, twas a fun night.
I've just remembered that my fanfiction updated yesterday and I haven't read it yet! Must go do that. . . bye!
Edit: So I just started reading it and there's quote from Star Trek in it . . . hooray! :D
