Frasier

Spring is on its way, I hope. It's been cold here, but in a strange way where it feels a bit warmer and fresher.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning at 9:30. Hopefully, she doesn't look at me like I"m insane and gives me the time of day, and the tests to figure out what the heck is wrong with my stomach. I'm getting really sick of being in pain everytime I eat.

I rented "Nights in Rodanthe" last night. I'm so glad I finally saw it. Totally threw me a curve ball though, never expected it to end the way it did. Overall, a great film though. Lots of awesome actors!

I also rented "Ghost Town." I'm excited to watch that, too! I'll let you know how it turns out.

I"m watching Frasier right now. Wasting time before I go to class to get my critique on my 6 pictures depicting "Motion." I got some super adorable photos of the two little girls, Jensen and Kylie, that I babysit. They're going on 1 and a half and they're the cutest twins ever. I also took a few of Brett out skating. I tried to get two different kinds of motion. Implied and visual. In the girl's photos, they're blurry in the spots that they were moving, so you actually see that they were in motion. But with Brett's photos, it's just that you can tell he was moving but the whole shot is in focus.

I'm not going to my black and white photography class tonight. I was really sick this weekend and didn't get out to take my photos, and I'm still not feeling 100% so I'm just gonna stay at home and rest up. Watch some movies for my Film midterm probably. Then I'll just need to find out what the assignment is for two weeks from tonight and I'll work on both at the same time.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. So excited! I love Lent, it's my favorite church season. The only bummer is I have class on Wednesday nights until about 8, and that's if she lets us out on time. I'm thinking of emailing her to see how she would feel about me leaving early from class to go to Lent services. I'm hoping she'll say yes, but I'm not too sure. I'll probably have to find some way to make up watching the parts of the movies I miss. Fingers crossed, it will work out!

Kayt - they STILL have not fixed the internet here! Elliot from Sig Ep won for Alpha Male! He's great, I wish you were around to meet him. Crush is on the 7th, "Rumble in the Jungle." I'm not going, but I'm sure everyone will have a great time! Therese ran for Sigma Chi's sweetheart and was ROBBED out of winning. She was totally the best candidate. Oh well. Cassie J is running for Dream Girl for Pike.

Hm. Time to change for class!

Have a great day.

Avoidance

So, here's some fun updates since I have no idea what the heck I'm going to write for my two film papers I have to have written for 5 pm.



* V-day was good. Brett and I spent it with my parents at dinner and at the UND hockey game. SWEEP! :) He bought me a Sioux hockey jersey I've been wanting :)



*No class on Monday. I spent the day lounging around and doing lots of photoshop homework. I was irritated for some unknown reason.



*Alpha Male is this week. I have NO time for Alpha Male stuff. NONE. I have two photography assignments, both due on Tuesday [one digital one film]. The digital one probably wont' be so bad, but I have to look forward to finding the 2 hours to spend in the dark room.



*Oh, and I can't park in the Hughes Fine Arts Center parking lot anymore because I got a parking ticket for not having a parking pass. UGH. Back to walking the mile there and back twice on Tuesdays.



* I have film class tonight. I have two assignments to start and finish before 5 pm. Ughk. And I actually have to try to make them sound intelligent because the professor apparently reads them, and she thinks I'm not trying and that I'm dumb. Great. Time to pull some brilliant sounding shit out of my ass.



*We got 8 new girls in AXO. I like a few. Totally weirded out one of them at Applebee's on Friday night. She has never talked to me before, but I know her face and I got WAY too excited and said HI how are you? and she was like..uh I don't know where I know you from. AWKWARD. I felt bad for making her feel like she knew me when she didn't. Oh well. I suck.



*In my Entrepreneurship class, they just assigned us a huge project that we have to have done by Monday. That's how I will be spending my weekend, with my partner, working on some dumb fictional business that we will never actually start.
Oh,and dont' forget taking lots of pictures, finding time to edit said pictures, and time to develop the pictures for Tuesday. UGH.

I am annoyed with life right now. I really am. And living at AXO is not helping. Let's just say my roommate situation leaves much to be desired and I would really like to just start secretly living at Brett's. However, I know that would not be good for our relationship, nor would I enjoy living with his obnoxiously loud roommates. And I cannot handle living with Rachel - so NO THANK YOU.

Oh, and the internet keeps crapping out on me. This is my second time trying to get this damn thing to post.

So, I think I have gallbladder issues. Well, my family does. It runs in the family but the Drs dont' think so. Idiots. I have to go in and do a test for them to see if it's an ulcer or if I have a buildup of good stomach bacteria. If it's neither of those, then I have to try and get them to give me an ultrasound to see if it's my gallbladder. Then, if it's full of stones, we have to decide when to take it out. If I take it out now, I'll miss classes for awhile. If I wait, til say, SB, then I can't go see Kayt. If I wait until the summer, I have to suffer through being in pain after everytime I eat. SUCKS.

So, basically, I'm annoyed with life and I just wish it was summertime so I wouldn't have to deal with all of this shit.

What's new in your life?

Motivation

I appear to be very lacking in this department lately. For example, I have been staying at my house this weekend. Friday was laundry day, which was cut in half because I went to babysit the twin girls for my friend Michaela since she was feeling sick. I intended to do laundry and homework...I only did laundry and read Cosmo.

Saturday was finish one load of laundry and do homework. I finished my load of laundry, and read Multiple Blessings [the Jon and Kate plus 8 book...yes, Kayt, I'm obsessed.]. I finished the book! ...but not my homework.

Today was then the makeup homework day...I'm watching TV instead. UGH.

I NEED MOTIVATION!! It just seems like the end to school is so close I can almost taste it...but it's really not that close. 4 semesters including this one. I just want to be done so badly. I feel like some of the classes I'm taking are a waste of my time, but I know in all actuality I need the classes I'm taking.

In other news, I'm wishing the end of the semester would come faster. I can't wait to get out of Alpha Chi and into my own place. I just feel like I'm ready to be so more independent and responsible for myself. Not to mention I'm ready to not listen to drunk girls running down the hallways at 2 in the morning.

Oh, and here's a good laugh for you. I totally screwed up making monkey bread this morning. I couldn't find the bundt cake pan, so while I was looking for it I ended up burning the sugar, cinnamon and butter syrup thingy. So that was all nasty smelling and then I kind of melted a plastic spatula and then I burned my left pointed finger. Well, then I found the bundt cake pan, but by that point I had to put the syrup stuff back on the burner to make it the right consistency and then it burned even more. So, I gave up. Which was probably for the best considering I don't think I bought the right kind of buttermilk biscuit things. Ugh. Keep in mind this was at 9 in the morning, but alas, that is no excuse for my failure. :(

I'm currently watching some of the "trash" that Kayt told me I was never allowed to watch again: The Real Housewives of Orange County. I just love the drama and ridiculousness of it all. :)
