Oof.
I haven’t posted in a while, but I have a million tests and a million CS assignments and a million other things to do.

Time for some Girl Talk.
I recently rediscovered Girl Talk. Not the chattiness of females, but the geeky looking white guy who samples music and turns it into awesomeness. I came upon this by stealing “Triple Double” (an excellent choice) from my sister’s iTunes. And then I remembered I like Girl Talk. Bits and pieces of other artists’ music is turned into a cohesive, completely new piece of music....

Spring!
The weather all this week is reminding me of spring…I’m loving it. And since I brought all my shorts home, it’s nothing but skirts and dresses this week! I’m going to be so depressed when it snaps back to cold again.
Jerk.
There are no words for how pissed I am right now.

Ouch.
My brain hurts. I have an actual course load now. And the guys doing Jazzercize or whatever on the floor below in their underwear are driving me up the wall.

My life is awesome.
So, I have the best major ever. In this engineering class I’m in right now, we’re supposed to research lung cancer screening and propose improvements to current screening methods as well as potential new methods. How cool is that?!
Anxious.
So, this not having school for the first three days of it makes me really nervous. I feel behind before I’ve even started. Not a good feeling.
Spring semester...go!
So, I am so excited to get back to school tomorrow and see my favorite Techies! Especially since we have a predicted 4-7 inches of snow. Class better be cancelled. And sledding is happening.

with eyes tired

Wow.
First of all, hopefully I can’t keep up a decent posting schedule because of finals, then holidays. It should be better when I’m back at Tech and trying to find new and exciting ways to avoid schoolwork.
Secondly…it’s 2011!
This year, I will—
1. Complete my first year at Tech!
2. Turn 19.
3. Other stuff. I dunno. Those are the first things that jump to mind.

Shame, shame, shame on me.
I give myself a template, and I can’t even stick to that. Grr.
So two things I wish I could do?
Not die at Tech, and find the motivation to write this French essay due in 9 hours.
One person I can trust?
Realistically, I don’t trust anyone with every bit of me. Too risky. But I guess my mom. For most things.
Stupid paper.

Day 8: Three words you can't go a day without...
Let’s turn this into phrases.
1. “I love you”: I always end up telling someone I love them during the course of the day.
2. “Thank you”: People are quite generous with their door-holding-open. Or letting you on the bus. Et cetera.
3. “I don’t want to…”: Because I never want to do any of my work.

No tests, no papers, no work
Just the Grateful Dead”

Day 7: Four memories you'll never forget.
1. This past summer visiting family out in the Midwest. So much fun! Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
2. More of a date than a memory: September 19, 2008! The day Sean and I started going out…a pivotal point in my life.
3. Competing at Head of the Charles 2008: amazing city, amazing race, amazing experience.
4. Finishing reading the seventh Harry Potter book and crying because it was over.

Day 6: Five things you can't live without.
1. Oxygen, food, and water. Duh.
2. My family.
3. Sean!
4. Challenges.
5. Fruit. I just really like fruit.
So clever.
I’m a riddle in nine syllables, An elephant, a ponderous house, A melon strolling on two tendrils. O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! This loaf’s big with its yeasty rising. Money’s new-minted in this fat purse. I’m a means, a stage, a cow in calf. I’ve eaten a bag of green apples, Boarded the train there’s no getting off.

Day 4: Seven fears/phobias.
1. Not being able to have children.
2. The deaths of those I love.
3. Straw paper wrappers.
4. Sticky things.
5. Trash.
6. The disapproval of those I respect.
7. Becoming a cat lady (not so much an issue anymore).
Poor boy.
I am in a relationship with the most sensitive boy in the world. I realize that in our society, that doesn’t come across very well. But think about it. Is there anything inherently wrong about caring? Umm…no. He just gets so upset sometimes, by any given thing, because he cares so much.
For example, yesterday we were driving to get some dinner, and there was an accident in traffic...
Day 3: Eight things that annoy you.
1. Grammar mistakes. It looks so unprofessional.
2. The television being on if I’m not watching it.
3. Hair that is not attached to someone’s body.
4. Constant cursing. Could we be a little more uncreative with our speech?
5. Mispronunciation.
6. Being wrong.
7. People who dawdle.
8. Disrespect for others.

Day 1: Ten random facts about yourself.
1. I have a goal to visit all 50 United States. Bucket list.
2. I am a flower person. I love flowers. In a vase, on my clothes, et cetera. Especially poppies and tulips.
3. I am currently a student at Georgia Tech, just like I’ve always dreamed of.
4. I take pride in my handwriting.
5. Someday, I want to speak French fluently. Right now…eehh…semi-fluent.
6. I am notoriously...
Yay meme!
I stole this from Kasmi.
A challenge. Except not challenging. Besides the fact that that means I can’t abandon this thing.

Why am I here?
After seeing my friends’ blogs, I decided to start one of my own. Being of the personal opinion that my life is boring, I am setting out to prove myself wrong (the only way I like to be proven wrong). This is my attempt to find the “interesting” in my life. It’s gotta be there somewhere.
