My Shopaholic Ways

So I really have a shopping problem this weekend my mom decided that she would treat me to a day out it was great. Friday she picks me up, and when I get in the car she hands me a bag that has band new cloths and jewelry in it I was extremely happy. So she takes me to dinner and a spa day we get our pedicures that was GREAT and felt even better. After that she takes me home where she has basically redid our whole house which was awesome. After I'm checking out our new furnished house she takes me back to school. Now Saturday my sister picks me up at around 11am we got to lunch then hit the mall, and this is where my shopping problem starts up every store we went into all but probably two I have to get something out of. By the end of the night I have arms full of bags and a soon to be very upset Dad, but I blame it all on him and my mom they shouldn't always give me what I want and just look at my mom she has refurnished our whole house that by the way was just purchased at the beginning of this year.

comments

So everyone always writes up blogs because that is what Mr. Andrews wants us to do. But, how come no one ever really leaves peoples comments to the blog postings. I have always found it interesting to see what other people have to say, towards what you have posted. anyways, i think we all should try and say more to peoples blogs.

Paper

Anybody else finding it difficult to revise your paper fully? I am trying to modify it, but i believe i am just going to trash it and start all over.

soccer

so the world cup is coming up pretty quick...im stoked to watch my team italy kick some ass. any other soccer fans out there?

I think it is.

I am pretty happy with my paper. I think I need to revamp the intro because it is a little blah and there are a few more 'connections' that need to be made, but otherwise I think it is pretty much complete. The only issue I really have left to worry about is the whole presentation thing. I think I want to get some good quotes to stick in there but I don't know how I should make it look or how I should enhance it. Do I need to make specific word choices? I don't know. But what I do know is that my keyboard is acting strange and is skipping letters when I type. Oy..
We are heading back to the hospital in a few minutes but I just wanted to make sure I remembered to blog because I dont have a computer once I leave home. It is so hard having him there, but we can board there which is really wonderful and gives me comfort. I just want to have him home with us.
Everything else seems so trivial now, but I know I just have to push through the semester because now matter how I feel I still KNOW how important school is.
I love being a mommy...
and now, back to working on english. Woo.

Oh My God, I just had an Epiphany!

So as i have been blogging about my distress on getting my "point" across. I realized what I have been trying to say reguarding plant forms in the enviroment of healing patients!!!! So I dabbled a bit into architecture because i know they have some crazy ideas for feung shwai idk how to spell or what not. So i found out more about the idea of "Articulated Skin" and this whole idea of how human skin correlates with walls and wht not. For instance, human skin perfoms critical functions such as the control of body temperature and moisture, and even produces important life-sustaining chemicals in response to sunlight. Hmmm, THIS got me thinking! So i dabbled further, and gained new insight stating: human skin has two other functions. 1 pyschologically and 2 as a means of communication this STRUCK me! For instance, we can visually show how we feel by facial expressions! Now for the major correlation! The exterior of a building (its skin) is expressive of the body of the building, its identity is a form of space just as human skin is expressive of a human body in space!!! And when the skin is removed, we take away from the identity and feel unnatural. So I began to think HMM PLANE TREE?! PLANTS EVERY WHERE?! And pyschologically we are feeling torn from our identity and planted in a hospital space. So I made the connection of how plant forms in space (building skin) can be a means of communication and means for keeping the patient sane! This is only the beginning...Will blog more about this later!

I lied...

So it turns out I lied in my last blog post... I told myself my goal for that day would be to at least write out a whole rough draft of my analysis. I wrote about a page, posted about that being my goal, then decided to write "goal:" at the top and ended up drawing a bunch of grapes from the colon - major distraction, for me anyways. So my new goal is to get all caught up by Sunday, despite my already planned busy weekend. Good luck to me.

So my friend is a generous 5"3' individual named Nicholas Melcher. Mr. Andrews may know him from his previous English 102 last semester. Anyway, we were in the lunch room, there are a lot of elementary school kids visiting the college. Nick attempted to leave the lunch room when he was stopped by one of the supervisors of the children, and told him not to leave! Nick looked at them and was wondering what the F is up and why can't I leave? The supervisor examined him and realized that he was wearing a UWM sweatshirt and was clearly not in there group. The supervisor look at nick and said that he was sorry, and that should be taller.

I give Nick shit all the time about being so small because I am more than a foot taller than him. Loved this moment and had to share!

I am going to the brewer game today and will be missing class. I gave my class presentation on my research project and will continue to work on it through the weekend until my conference.

Human Touch

As I thought about it more, I started to think. Really? What is my point in this essay that I am writing? What is this great correlation between human touch, plants, and the five senses...all tied to the "plane tree philosophy" of patient centered care. I mean how do plants and integrative activites like yoga which stimulate the 5 elements of nature in the body correlate and supplement a hospital visit and healing.

Well, first of all my thinking of the whole jazz, was that plants like humans have an exterior and interior anatomy and phyisiology (duh!). But what im saying is that is there is more to this. That maybe we are connected to plants somehow, that maybe when a geriatric cancer patient in the ICU sees a plant or catches a glimpse of a green lively plant, with its vein like stems; they would think and look that their own hands, skin, and veins kind of look like the plants, and can feel some type of hollistic being. I mean this is all still quite a blur to me. For instance, when i talk about the "response theory" in plants, and how some plants wont react to something as strong as a wind gust, but will respond to something as suddle as a rain drop, or another leaflet brushing against eachother. That maybe this can be correlated and can mean something when just touching a patients foot when letting them know you are there, you can get a response. Like plants, that feel of other plants or rain drops nurtures the plant and allows it to grow and feel whole. Patients are like plants, they are planted in a spot, they cannot move and they just wait for their enviroment to stimulate them in some way. That "human touch" could infuse a new power within in a patient, like it does within a plant. It will either attack or respond in a positive growing manner.

Another idea I am dabbling around, is this idea of yoga and other integrative activities that can be incorporated in a healing process. I focus on yoga because my past studies on alternative medicine and the five elements (classical) infuse different aspects of natures inside of us, allowing us to heal mentally and physically. Just as plants very well incorporate everyday the classical five elements in which their enviroment is surrounded by.

This is where my thought process is focused around, I want to produce new information in regards to this. The plane tree model does not in any way shape or form say that plants are what heals patients. Plants in the plane tree model serve a purpose aesthetically, and pyschologically. I want to take this a step further and parallel human systems to plant systems, and really show that yes we do function like plants. And that YES, plants in the hospital enviroment DO stimulate our inner classical five senses and nurture us in the healing process. Ranging from cancer patients to respriatory patients in a hospital.

NFL Draft

some might complain on the pick the packers made, but i think its a solid choice and a needed pick. if you look back at last year, when Rogers was under pressure the packers had a hard time putting points on the board, but later in the year when he began go get more protection he was amazing. im looking forward to see how he progresses under our two all pro tackles. he was a solid safe pick. Another note, HOW ABOUT THEM BREWERS!!!!

revising is not fun! That will be basically consist of my whole weekend and my poor friends who get to read my paper and try and help me.

randomness

So I've realized that I really like math...but I just can't seem to remember the different types of methods there are to solving stuff!!! But when I learn it fresh I'm really good at it...so that's kinda gay...but gosh it's time to start looking for classes for next semester and it's such a freeaken hassle...I made a list of classes that I am considering taking and daamn my schedule is going to be full!!! errrrrgh...but whatever...I have to finish my homework...so I'm sitting in my boyfriend's room eating some chicken and trying to finish my math homework because I have a big test tomorrow...and oh yes...LAB...which I freeaken hate because it's so boring and it seems like half the class doesnt even pay attention...and oh yea..I finally realized why I wanted to become a nurse...because I want a future that has a purpose...anywaz this is so random...and I'm sorry if you read to this point and you're like who gives a crap...so yea...stop reading...

UGH!!

So this semester is coming to a quick end and I'm really stressed about my paper! There's so much fixing to do and I'm working really hard to try to reach "critical inquiry". Plus, I have to look through a little more sources and then I should be okay! But, yeah... *sigh* I really hope that I pass this class! I don't want to repeat it! :(

today

so today i had a pretty productive day getting homework done and such, then i picked up my best friend from badger buss and i havent seen her in like 3 weeks so this was awesome! i was so excited to see her. so now instead of finishing homework we are going to go hang out at my dad's movie theatre. pretty fun night.

Draft

I would like to see the packers get Baluga out of Iowa or Kyle Wilson. Lets go Teddy T

NFL Draft

Right now I'm watching the draft and I agree with whoever Gordo is; the Packers need an O lineman and a CB because Woodson and Harris are getting old. They also need a saftey whether it be from free agency or from the draft because Nick Collins is the only consistent safety. I just can't wait to see where Tebow, Clausen, and other big names go.

Brewers/Packers

AYa I was so shocked when someone told me today the Brewers were winning in the 7th 16 to nothing, maybe you're right maybe it's because they're playing the pirates I mean come on--it's the pirates they always suck but it's good to finally see some decent pitching and some powerful hitting. I still think the Brewers need to invest a pitcher though that's actually known around the league, Jeff Supan is terrible we could deal him and someone else for a better pitcher. As for the Packers I really don't know, not paying attention to the draft but we could use a good linebacker or offensive lineman...I was so mad when we traded Kampman but you do what you gotta do.

brewers

what happened to the brewers?? They can hit again! Probably helps that they played the pirates but the pirates aren't that bad this year. After today's 20-0 victory the brewers outscored the pirates 36-1 over the three game sweep. Braun is hitting like an mvp and weeks is da bomb!! Packers better draft an offensive tackle in tonights draft, if not it better be a corner back. peace out

random...

So this whole entire semester I haven't felt like I had a roommate. She has missed over half the semester because of medical reasons and professors have given her extensions on things so many times. Yet I see her facebook statuses and it seems like she's just sitting and watching TV when she could be doing homework for a class. And when she does come back she decides not to go to class the next day, I don't see how she's going to pass her classes this semester....but I guess I wish her the best of luck!

bday cricket game

just wanted to say my buddy and i scored over 900 points in a dart game of cricket last night at axel's :D

cheers

cheers mates

im sitting at the union waiting for my ride to daves and busters, the new adult arcade near mayfair. i guess it's supposed to be like an adult chuck e cheese. i hope its decent cause its my birthday! ill throw an update later around 5am with a good story. i promise

your favorite blogger

Hi to all my fans once again, the bucks lost a close one last night... good joke i know. but they return home saturday so if your not going, go cuz they need a big crowd. Anyway i have one more exam til finals week so i will be getting a lot of work done on my essay over the next two weeks. Lucky for all of us it is wasted wednesday so the ideas should be flowing in no time. peace out blog

Grades in general

I hate tests, they prove hardly anything and they put unnecessary pressure on students. Specifically in my math class, we go through about six different things per week that are unrelated and we are supposed to remember them all semester, but there are 18 weeks in a semester and as we learn new stuff, the old stuff sort of fades away. I hate math classes because after a while they become irrelevant unless you really plan on using the stuff. Why does somebody who might not ever use this crap have to waste time on it? All of these classes fill the heads of the students and give this this false sense of accomplishment and intelligence, but I have no use for a lot of this stuff and unless you are going on a trivia show like Jeopardy, the classes are a waste. I also find it funny how so many people complain how the U.S. is behind in so many things. Maybe we wouldn't be if the things that we are going to encounter in the real world are taught to us rather than things we never use.

I know some people disagree and feel that some of these classes might help us in the future, but we don't see it yet. I agree to an extent because we know what we dislike more than what we actually like, if that makes any sense. I also know that some people say that this can make us more well rounded people, but how? I often learn more valuable things on my way to class rather than when I am actually in them.

I also realize that there are some oldheads who use the same stupid argument, "When I was in school, we had to do the same thing, if not more." What they fail to realize is that nobody gives a crap and just because they had to do it doesn't mean we should have to, especially if it is useless. People use to ride on horses to get around, does that mean everybody should stop using cars and start riding horses again? People use to typewriters, leave their front doors wide open, and open their windows as ventilation. Does that means that we should all throw away our computers, or leave an invitation to get our houses robbed, or get rid of all of our air conditioners? No, we should use A LOT MORE COMMON SENSE. One of the biggest problems with that is that the people making these dumb rules are focusing on the quantity of classes rather than the quality of them. I never understood why just because a certain class or even a certain "learning institution" has a particular name attached to it, people just accept it. Just because a class is called AP or something like that it doesn't mean it is or the fact that a school has a supposed distinguishment as better than other colleges doesn't mean they are. What is the proof of this so called correlation with a certain type of university and intelligence, the ability to get good jobs after graduating? I just call that knowing the right people or having connections.

Something else about school that just makes me mad is this attendance rule. I get that the universities don't want students to miss class because they feel that it makes the school look bad and it can have a negative effect on the grade in the class. I get that, but what if a student actually does better than everyone who attends regularly, which is possible and happens often even though professors like to lie about that, so they make a certain amount of times that a student can be absent. That really sucks. This year was one of the craziest years I have ever had there were so many things happening that caused me to miss classes, like today I didn't come because I had something private I had to take care of. That brings me to my other point: Some professors feel that they should fail a student if they have one unexcused absence, but not everybody is comfortable telling the whole world their business and who made them God? I'm pretty sure we, the students, would like to know what was so important when the professor misses, that the professor could not come to class like everybody else. To make missing one class or forgetting to staple a paper an automatic fail in a class should be an automatic ass whooping of the professor. I really don't care how bad this sounds because for someone who is supposedly so smart to do something to evil, dumb, and just plain inconsiderate to someone who might have ran out of staples at the last minute and could not afford to buy some (we are college students who scrape the money we have to pay for everything) is just wrong. I know the professors might use the argument of they don't want to have to staple everyone's paper, but I'm pretty sure the students don't want to have to sit through every class inhaling that nerve gas some professors call perfume or cologne nor do they appreciate having to listen to the boring and often times over-sharing of information involving their personal life. But I guess that what happens when you get a little authority, you abuse it and somehow forget that you were once one of those wide-eyed students who just wanted to get by and do something with themselves, but I guess that's just what happens.

dropping by..

i cant freeaken wait until SUMMMER!!!! even though there are only like 2 more weeks left it feels like there is till so much to do!!! errrrrgh....how FRUSTRATING!!! but yea...that's all...

randdoooo

so its almost midnight and normally i like to be alseep by now considering i have english at 9 in the morning so i get up at like 630 to get there.. lame.. but im wide awake!
Also the fact that summers like right around the corner is significantly increasing the effort it takes for me to get up in the morning i just want to sleep in! my brain is already on summer mode, so i just keep telling myself three more weeks of english.. and 4 more weeks of school! thats still to long!

random talk

i can honestly say that i shut down for the week, all want is the weekend to come. its going to be a good time to say the least, one i wont remember lol.

Another question, why is 4/20 the national smoking day, what is so significant about today? ive always wanted to know.

AHHHHH

okay so i want school to be over so that i can enjoy a month of summer so that i can start summer schoool. lets be honest here, we are ALL sick and tired of school. the next 2-3 weeks are going to be hell, i have tests, papers, and other homeworks that i have to do. and oh lik re-write the paper for this class.. thats just awesome! i just hate the feeling stressed out about the end of the semester.. its like a lot of pressure.

on a lighter note, im dissapointed that the bucks lost AGAIN vs. the Hawks... they are not even that good if you think about it, the bucks should be beating their ass.. but no BOGUT had to get hurt. lamee. so thats 0-2 record for them. on the other hand, the mavericks are 1-0 so i hope that they beat the spurs tmorw so that they are closer to eliminating them :)

i've been wondering.. what happened to the nice warm weather we were havingg? i dont like the fact that its cold at this point, its so close to summer and we still have to wear sweaters... wtf?

okay so im going to end this post now bc im just babbling about w/e comes to my mind. goodnight people!

So it wasn't a bad day for Milwaukee sports teams. It was a good brewers game today we won 8 to 1. Dave Bush pitched a good game, and it was a nice change to see some good pitching out of us. Now all we need is Fielder to start hitting. The bucks lost their second playoff game and now trail 2 to 0 in the series. The next bucks game is at home on Saturday, so hopefully we can win that one. Besides watching sports today not to much else going on.

I am so over school! These last few weeks are absolute hell. I have exams every few days and plus I have to work on this final paper. I am starting to freak out because I feel as though my paper currently, will not pass. I don't even know how to cite my sources.

i got a 100% on my first a&p lab practical and now i got a 102% on my second lab practical. i'll call it a DAY! DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW HARD AND TIME CONSUMING A&P IS? yup. anyway.. i love my paper, i need to work on connecting my resources more...and look over everything. i feel like im not behind which is good. im excited for summer. have you ever had KOPPS icecream, holy shit. soo good. any way.....uhm english...i dont really know what to say other then this class can be and was really frustrating at first but its over soon. hmmm.

Venting

So i have decided that i am so done with school, and the dorms, and stupid people. Normally this is not like me to be so negative, but i have let everything build up and get to me.

First off for my ranting that i will be doing i can't wait to not live in the dorms. Its not the dorms that i don't like, it is the room mate part of it. It has been a week or so that we have not said a word to each other. I try and make conversation, but i get no response back. It is like i am talking to myself. Better yet to add to this issue, is the fact that we have been friends since before high school. big mistake to live with her, lesson learned.

Secondly, i have decided that i have no patience when i get stressed. I think that might be why i am being so negative. It is all the little things that get me. I think i have just been trying to pretend that everything is going well and that life is good that i have been hiding the fact i am stressed out of my mind. i have never been the one to complain, and to be honest i hate the fact that i am right now. I am not one to share my emotions with someone unless they are good things to share. So i have decided that i will share with this blog, so i can get it out of my system.

Anatomy is kicking me in the ass. I have studied my butt off, been going to tutoring, and i still can't seem to be doing good in the class, and time it running out. I have no room to fail the class because that will put me a year behind because i would have to take it over. ugh. so hopefully a miracle will happen and i will ace the last exam that will allow me to barely pass.

I find that i am taking out my stressfulness on my boyfriend, which makes me feel bad. He is always there to cheer me up but lately i just can't find that happy place that i always used to be in. I hate being negative. Any one you ask will tell you that this is not like me. I have found that if i go and work out i can relieve the tension that i have. that helps a lot because i need to relax. But i feel like the time i spend working out i should be studying. I need to find that point where everything is evened out. I just want to get back to that happy stressed free life i had before this. I know i am probably just having a moment, but still its not fun.

On the other side of things, I am going to go home this weekend. I need to. Partly because kyle (my bf) is also going home which happens to be the same place i live, so it would be silly to stay here at school, when i have the chance to go home and eat good food. and i miss my cat Rosie, so i get to see her.

Any who. that was me ranting, and i actually feel better that i was able to tell someone. Even if no reads what i vented on, i still was able to get it. out. Hope everyones paper is going well, and if you really are enjoying writing it, feel free to finish mine as well. :)

Summer Now Please

I AM SO READY FOR SUMMER! And for this Friday so the Brewers can beat the Cubs of course :) I am completely sick of school and all this stupid work and ready to head home and work and play alllllll summer long! :)

Homework

Ya same here i have so much homework that i have to do this week plus i just had 2 exams-one monday and one today so i feel exhausted.

Blahh.

I have so much to do today! Homework, read, read, & read some more! -__-"

Another non-productive day...

I found this kind of humoring :)

back another day

Hello to all my fans/readers out there. I'm back for my second consecutive blog. Last night i spent all night writing a boring paper that seemed to drag on. But i got good news when i went to class this morning becuase i got an A on my calculus exam. Tonight our Milwaukee Bucks play their second playoff game against Atlanta. I'm expecting a big victory on the road as they return home saturday night for their third playoff game. The brewers are also on tv tonight which means i am short one tv in my room. Two tv's in one room is necessary for situations like this. That is all blog

Driving

I live in Waukesha and I drive to UWM 4 days a week for class.... it's starting to get really old and I am really get sick of bad drivers! I want this semester to be over with... the 30min-1hour drive is getting really old.

and I have learned that I will never ever ever take an 8am class again...

Brewers

The Brewers better take out the cubs this week. Lets go Brewers!

Paper

How is everyones paper going. Having any problems. My paper is coming along nicely. Any feedback would be nice.

BLOG

So, I was doing really well with English, staying on top of everything, getting assignments done when they were assigned, actually trying... then April came around, meaning (for me) birthdays, nice weather, and general ailments. I haven't been keeping up with or even doing the work the last couple weeks and I know I'm behind especially with conferences next week. Finally starting to realize that I decided to go through the assignments from the last weeks and figure out what I still need to do so I can catch up. My goal for today is to get all that completed before I start working on other classes. Yeah...

the final stretch..

I'm really nervous for this final stretch of school. This portfolio is the biggest of my worries though. I feel like I won't meet the course goals or even make sense and the readers will just read the first paragraph and send it to the "FAIL" pile. I'm screwed. on the plus side...I'm signing a lease on a house tomorrow! woooooo

Conferences

So I feel a little confused, when exactly are we able to sign up for conferences? The day may have been mentioned but it's very possibly I missed it, so if anyone knows that would be wonderful. I'm so glad there's only like 3 or 4 more weeks, no more writing assignments!

--Crackers are a family food, for happy families...we don't know if single people eat crackers and frankly, we don't want to...

my bad

So I have not been blogging at all and today in class I found out that it is part of our participation grade. Have no fear I will be blogging every day from here on out. Today sucks mainly because I have to write a paper on Society and Gender during the second world war. It is extremely lame and that is all.

Peace out

Yup

I think about thinking way too much. Lately I spend almost all of my time in my own head. Weighing whats important and whats not. The worst part is im terrible at it. At least I think I am.

The other day I read a quote by Jeffery McDaniel

Once
I dated a woman I only liked 43%.So I only listened to 43% of what
she said.Only told the truth 43% of the time.And only kissed
with 43% of my lips.Some say you can't quantify desire, attaching
a number to passion isn't right, that the human heart doesn't work
like that.But for me it does-I walk down the street and
numbers appear on the foreheads of the people I look at. In bars,
it's worse.With each drink, the numbers go upuntil every woman
in the joint has a blurryeighty something above her eyebrows, and
the next day I can only remember 17%of what actually happened.
That's the problem with booze-it screws with your math.


I feel like thats the type of shit running through my head all the time. but getting something like that written down just will never happen. Even this attempt at writing something feels nearly impossible but somehow I manage. I'm waiting til I meet that person who gets me, but I dont even get me.

I've got one, maybe two guys who know me so well they could probably do a better job of explaining me then I can. I like that, and I usually like image they produce. I'm not allowed to own a firearm. Thats fucked up.

School isn't for me. Ive learned a lot here. But the thing I really learned was how to drink, and that makes sense cause I learned from the best.

I've never been so close to someone that I literally feel there pain, but not just there pain, there joy too. I think I like that sensation more then my own pleasure. Ive had so much of it I dont even care about it anymore. Someday someone will make me care, if I give them the chance.

I feel like I spent my younger years numb, I literally dont remember any of my childhood. Where the fuck did my memory go. It used to be awesome.

SchOol wOrK AHHHHHHHHH

This weekend I did not revise my essay. I went home, relaxed, and tried to refocus to try and help me not stress so much about school. I exercised and spent time with my family. Now that I am back in the dorms I am starting to think about my school work again. Although thinking about my school work stresses me out, I feel like this weekend at home did me some good. I am a not on edge as much and hopefully the break I had this weekend will be enough to last me the rest of this semester.
I have to study today for a big Chemistry test at 5. and then I need to get some more psych quizzes done this week so that I can get a for sure A. Somewhere in the mix I need to sit down and make a few changes on my essay. I think that I will do this in the middle of the week after my Chemistry test is out of the way and hopefully a psych quiz or two.

Revalation

Suddenly feels like the door to writing this paper has been opened and now I see where my paper needs to be worked on, removed, or added onto. Can't say how happy i am to finally feel like i got it. Just sucks cause there is now a lot of work to do in a little time only wish it could have happened sooner. Well hopefully i get done what is needed of me and get the chance to use my time to finally do what is needed of me

my weekend

My weekend started with my head in toilet, you should always listen when your mom says don't eat in bowling allies, once again I got food poisoning or a stomach virus something that cursed my Friday morning. After a wrongful morning I had forgot all about work training for an up coming event and a business meeting for my other job. Looking gross and highly up set I forced myself out of bed to go to these two very important events. But right after both I ran to my bed sleeping the day away. Saturday morning I was up at 7am getting ready for my jobs retreat, which turned out amazing it started with ice breakers, then presentations, then lunch, then more presentations then off to the craft center in the union, which by far is my favorite place in the whole union. On the agenda was pottery I made a kick as bowl plus matching plate it was so much fun. After that I started revising my paper and working on homework for my other classes. At around 10pm I decided I had had enough so went out with friends. After hitting up Milwaukee's best we ended up back at the dorms at 2. We played some games made pop corn and chilled, at around 5am we put in Godfather I and watched it until around 8am Sunday morning, as soon as the movie was done we all kind of fell asleep where ever we could. From that moment on I was in a sleep coma I woke up at 2:30pm did some homework, made some shirts the went to vote in elections for the new SHAC president. After that eventful time I went and hung out with work friends. Now i'm sitting at my laptop finishing off my weekend with homework you gotta love college life!!

exams

god i hate exams and hw, it feels like all i do is study, write and do hw for all my classes. i need a break!!! lol god

Wow my boss is a bitch with a false sense of reality. Thats my weekend. This will be better. So on that note...

i wanna do it with you.

i wanna hear us breathe hard.

i wanna get all hot and sweaty.

so i know this might be awkward but...

do you wanna go jogging tomorrow?

Weeekend

This weekend was hectic. I spent most of the weekend on the computer, with a small percentage at work. I have sort of managed to accomplish that idea of bring a "point" accross when addressing my sources and my take on the "plane tree unit" and the implementation of plants and other integrative nature activities in nature. I am reading up on new sources as well. I found a couple of case studies that i feel would be good to use, and exagerate my own ideas. I hope everything works out!!

So over the weekend I was working on my research paper. It's getting there, but still have a little ways to go. There really is not to much else to say, except I just need to keep working and revising these two papers.

weekend

This weekend was exciting because my sister had her baby on friday morning. I got to see him saturday afternoon. He was so tiny I got nervous holding on to him. Other than that my weekend was kind of boring. Had a bonfire with my boyfriend on saturday and roasted s'mores. Saw a shooting star for the first time, that was pretty sweet. Didn't really get to work on my essay or study for my psych exam tomorrow...should probably get working on that....

blah

Eh, my weekend was all right, enough said. Now to discuss what we have been doing in class. I get it, I understand...academic inquiry. Now, lay off with the examples, I don't care. Continuously showing examples in class to people that understand isn't going to do anything and for the ones that have questions about it, well I guess its going to be the same damn thing...its not going to do anything for them either. Instead of burning time with pointless talk I believe those who still have question should have one-on-one time with the professor so that they can have a hands on talk to better understand what we are to accomplish by the end of this semester. Some people aren't visual learners, they need to be talked to and by having examples the preferred method of education professors are discriminating against those whom learn by other means. So in short, stop fucking showing me other people's profiles, I understand so let me use that hour to advance my paper instead of dreading to work on it...and while I'm doing that...the professor can use that hour to individually talk with students who don't quite understand academic inquiry or have questions about the topic.

By the way, stop fucking telling us that we don't understand...if we don't understand now and you continue to run class the way that you have been then I doubt we will ever understand. Quit informing us that we "don't understand" what it is yet. Do you want us to believe that we will not understand all the way until the last class of the semester in which then and only then we will all gain the enlightenment and magically master academic inquiry? Don't be ignorant, most of us get what it is perfectly fine, for those that don't start to actually help them instead of throwing portfolios at them and pray to Jesus that they figure it out on their own. That means you have to stop saying, "We'll, that's what you have to figure out." or telling us to "google it."

With saying that, if a student asks you a question, fucking do something about it and do NOT refer them elsewhere. Otherwise, what are you honestly doing besides being a broken toilet with an "out of order" sign on the stall. I was hoping to find comfort only to be referred to another source. That equals fail. Fail means start doing something about it and answer the question that the student asks you.

the weekend

this was a great weekend for me... other than working all weekend at a place were i truly LOVE what i do i went with my friend and i got my second tattoo while she got her first. it was an awesome experience and i love my new art! to top off my weekend my best friend came home from her school in IL. and i got to see her for a bit. so all in all it was a great weekend.

Sucky Weekend

So couldn't make it to class friday because my grandma had suddenly died so I had to make an emergency trip home for the funeral this weekend. I'm glad I got to see the email about the homework before the PantherLink went all wacked. Hopefully this coming weekend, with my two best friends coming down from Minnesota to see me, will make up for the sad one I have just had.

This weekend

Well I have to say this weekend was probably one of the best weekends Ive had in a long time. Thursday night was a blast with my roommates down on Water Street. Friday I went home to visit my Grandma in the hospital and learned she was doing much better than before. I came back Friday night just in time to go out with my roommates again, we ended up coming back to my apartment after bar close and having a dance party until 6 A.M. Saturday I went down to see my good friend play in her first professional soccer game for the St. Louis Athletica. I actually got some revising done on my paper on the way down to the game which was a big plus. We tailgated and got a little crazy. After the game we got a little meet and greet with some of the players including Hope Solo. We hurried back to close down Sullivans on Water and to end up with an apartment full of people that some of us didnt even know who they were. Another dance party took place and now I am revising my paper and blogging. Great weekend, hopefully they only get better from here.

weekend

My weekend kind of sucked actually because I had a lot to do for homework and I had a service learning project for another class I had on Saturday so I had to wake up early for that, not giving me a night really on Friday to do anything. Today though I got some free tickets to six flags and it was awesome because the park was closed just for this private event so the lines were like nothing at all. I've only been there once before today so I enjoyed it, especially the fact that it was free.

revising... or not

Well apparently no one chose to blog about revising a paper so i am not about to start. My weekend was good i went home for a family planned event with my mom and ended up going to elton john last second which was awsome and had a fairly relaxing weekend at home ended up going to the bars with my sister which was fun the guy next to me chucked a shot class at the bar tender needless to say he go thrown out, which made my night, anyway i did this and some revising for my paper, which i am getting sick of looking at. Anyway i hope everyone had a good weekend!

Weekend

So this weekend was amazingly fun :) Not ready for the week to start. However, last week I ended up passing out and busting my chin open and going to the E.R where I got stitches for the first time in my life! It was on the underside of my chin though so that was good...I didn't have to look like Frankenstein this weekend when I went out! Already ready for this week to be over and the weekend to come....is that bad? haha. Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend!

Pantherlink Down

I wasn't here last Friday, and so I'm not too sure what the homework assignment is for this week. I tried going onto my pantherlink email, but it is down. Does anyone know what the hw is?

Friday and Saturday

My Friday and Saturday was quite nice, thank goodness for the bright and sunny weather. Even though the weather was great, I spend a lot of my time in pain because of my skinned knee.

I was rushing to yoga class on Thursday around 3 because I was running late from watching Glee on Hulu with a friend. I wasn't even that late because class starts at 3:30 and it was 3:10 but I still needed to change into my yoga/gym clothes. So I'm rushing in my burmuda shorts and my brown flip flops through Oakland Avenue where all the cars go by and students are walking back and forth to class and from class and suddenly I see this car. The driver in this car and a friend are backing up (how do I know this? the white lights on the back of the car was on) into the drive way I was going to be crossing past in about seven seconds.

7, 6, 5, plop! I'm on the ground, I'm laying flat on the ground in the middle of the day by a busy street with plenty of people around. I get up on my knees and look over my right shoulder and I see a guy walking over to help me but by the point he reaches me, I'm already up. I mumble without thinking "Thank you" and start rushing again. I'm rushing, rushing past three students and I find out that my palms are scratched and my side got scratched and both of my knees. I reach the yoga building and take a look at my right knee and there is blood.

I entered the builing and asked my teacher for a band aid and continued to feel stupid. This past Friday and last night, my knee became extremely painful. It was a weird yellowy color and it was pussing whenever I put a bandaid on it. I decided to take a picture of it for memory.

bloggin
