I hate to say it, but you're perfect together...so fuck you...
Professor Anderson was sick again today, Bjorn said that the email he received this morning was from his wife, so he's pretty ill. It's been over a week. The good news, I suppose, is that we've been watching an awesome video in Hollywood II put out by the Independent Film Channel about the 1970's movie making business and the changes that started with independents like Roger Corman's AIP and directors like Coppola, Scorsese, and Eastwood, as well as actors like Gene Hackman, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and Ellen Burstyn. SOOOO interesting.

Advertising was cancelled completely, so I had a couple hours before Finite. I got to work a bit on my English paper revision, then went to the review for the midterm. Boring, but what can you do?

Art History was dull. No one in the class speaks, and my AI just sucks. The good thing is that we took a look at Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the only well known and respected women artists before the mid-1800s. Beautiful works. And I got a 95 on the last test, so it was nice.

Now I'm back home and finishing up my math WeBWorK before working more on my English paper. I basically have to rewrite the entire thing. OH well.

I think maybe I'll watch Annie Hall. Mmm...1970's independent film...

Your faith was strong but you needed proof...
Happy Ash Wednesday, if that means anything to you. Personally, it hasn't meant anything to me for several years. But that's my own personal battle.

It turns out that WeBWorK is down, so I can't do my math homework. Oh darn. That means I'll be getting to bed very soon. I've been lacking on the sleep for awhile now, so it will feel nice to catch up a bit.

Tomorrow is a hellish 6 hour day filled with Hollywood II, Advertising and Consumer Culture, Finite Mathematics and my discussion section of Art History: Renaissance to Modern Art. We're on the Baroque period. Definitely not a favorite. Oh well, right?

I just came home from an English film screening. We watched Higher Learning, which is an amazing film. Very obviously early 90's, and not a high budget, but incredible for what it produced. Deals with issues based on race, sex, class, religion, ethnicity, gender and age. Laurence Fishburne is excellent, as is the rest of the high profile cast. I left just feeling so glad that I had watched it. Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it yet, my English teacher rocks.

Saturday, I'm going to be going to Miami of Ohio to visit Zoe and Candace. Then next weekend I'm heading home to see Footloose at DHS and Closer at NU. I'm quite excited to go home again. And I think I'll have the house to myself. Mmm...peace, rest and relaxation. Not that I'll get that much of any of it, but hey...it's worth a shot.

Alright, it's bedtime. 9 and a half hours, if I'm lucky.

Plenty of time for a longer post. Math now, nothing interesting, I'm sure. First bite in the ass, I missed a pop quiz last Thursday. Since my first two classes were canceled, and my art discussion was canceled, I found it quite useless to go to math. Whoops.

I'm so uber busy today. After class, I have a practice Finite test, a practice French test, both graded on OnCourse, as well as my screening from 6:30 until 10:15 tonight. Good movies, Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate, but so very long. I also have to find time to get together with my french group to write a script involving "une autre femme"...a love triangle. Yeah, I don't get it either.

I finally updated all the pictures I've had since December. I've been slacking so much on the Forest site recently. And the quotes have been highly neglected. Oh well, I suppose.

Just because this is open, and I don't feel like taking out my calendar: Finite Midterm, Saturday in Woodburn 101.

Would I suck if after the midterm on Saturday, I went to Miami to visit Zoe and Candace (who is also visiting her this weekend)? Since next weekend I'm either going home or going to central Illinois to help Fayanne move? And then the next weekend is the start of Spring Break. Hmmm...more on this later.

I wish I could get my VPN to work. I'm getting a wireless signal. I have my VPN set up, but it always rejects me. Any ideas??

I think I'm going to nap. I'm sure I can figure out how to calculate the expected value on my own. I did the assignment today without being taught it. And I rocked it. I am just cool.

E[X]=expected value of the random valuable, X.
E[X]=x₁p₁+x₂p₂+x₃p₃+...+x_np_n

When will I learn to let someone in...
So uh...I suck. I procrastinated with my paper, starting quite late, around 1am, and finishing at the cheery hour of 8am. It was entirely not worth it, but I did feel slightly accomplished.

Katie woke me up a few minutes before 11 to go to our 11:15 art history class, but that didn't give me enough time to shower and get ready...both of which I was in desperate need of. So I didn't quite go to art, and instead, had a nice relaxing shower and got everything gathered and ready for the day. French was quite boring, and English not much better. But oh well, what are you going to do about it?

Now I'm working on math homework, and then I'll be doing this french practice test that will supposedly take up 90 minutes of my time, and I have to do it all at once. Joy of joys.

Well, back to work. Nose to the grindstone and all that jazz. I'm going to crash and burn soon, so I must get as much accomplished right now as possible.

It's officially my niece's birthday. But I think I'll wait to call her around noon, and not at 4am.

Tonight was nice. It was Lela's birthday, so we had yummy carrot cake and watched Freaky Friday. The drunkards started rolling in around 3am. A couple have been puking. I skidded away to my room. Just finished writing Crystal an uber long email, and now I'm just about ready to get to bed. But I had to let the song finish out. So very excellent.

I've been watching quite a few movies lately...which is one of the good things that has been going on. Evita last night, Almost Famous (Director's Cut) this morning. Then, of course, Freaky Friday. Good stuff, I suppose.

Tomorrow: write English paper, study for Art History quiz, do French assignment, start Math webwork, reading for 4 classes (HA!).

Not that I think I can either, but whatever. I guess this is me being a silly girl like usual. We all know how much I love that. *sigh* I'll stick with being an old maid and dying alone. That way, if it works out like that...I won't be disappointed!

Now I'm just hanging around, talking online to Patty...haven't talked to him much lately. I haven't really talked to much of anyone. I guess I've been really busy. This weekend, I have a paper to write, and a Finite midterm to study for. I love school. :-p

Maybe I'll put a movie in and just chill for the rest of the night. I have to chill.

I can't believe I haven't updated all week. It's finally Friday and I'm out of classes until Monday. Yeah, it feels good.

The Art History test on Monday went well, I think. My Advertising papers was returned and quite the opposite. C/C-. OUCH. Depending on my grade on that test, I might just drop it. *sigh*

Other than that, classes have been alright. Talked to Zoe a bit this week, which was good. Mommy's been in Florida so I haven't been getting daily news about the homefront, but that's okay. I'll be calling her tomorrow to ask if I can use the credit card to go Krogering. I need more face wash, and I want some more fruit and rice.

Oh this is quite the life. Tonight I might be seeing Full Frontal Comedy again, because it's free and I don't have the money for IU Sing. That's really all I have planned for the entire weekend, and I just found out about it in English, a half hour ago. Ah yes. The excitement abounds.

Anywho, taking my car back to the Stadium soon, then possibly picking up something to eat for dinner. I'm quite hungry. Traveling will do that to you, I suppose.

And that's okay, 'cause I'll remember everything you sang...
Long day, but so good. This morning I woke up when my sister Fayanne called to tell me that she was on her way to IU to pick me up. This gave me two hours to shower, get dressed, get breakfast, and pack up some stuff.

She got there at about 12:45pm, Eastern Standard Time, and I showed her around briefly, we had lunch at Panera, we drove passed my apartment for next year, and then hit the road at 2pm (1pm CST).

The trip is always too long and pretty dull. I guess I'll have to get used to it if I'm planning on staying here for 4 years. Oh well.

We got home at 5pm, and I got to see my new car for the first time. It's absolutely beautiful, new and still has that new car smell. It's a 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8S. For the first time, I have power windows, CD player, cruise control and rear defrosters! I will become so spoiled being able to see our my rear window and not having to roll down windows via crank. I still miss My Baby, but my new car will definitely do. ;-)

For dinner, the parents, Fayanne, Chris and the two kids and I all went to dinner. Bennigan's, yum. Such good burgers! Mmm...meat. Someday I will be a vegitarian...if only for the moral aspect. I like meat. I think cows and chickens should be eaten. But the in humane ways they raise them...it makes me ill. Mad cow disease exists because cows are eating other cows' brain and spinal cords. A) Eww. B) Cows eat grass. Period. They are not herbivores, because they don't eat all types of greens. They just eat grass. So why are they digesting disgusting parts of other cows?!?! And chickens are even worse. I just want to find a nice humane farm that raises cows and chickens how they are supposed to be raised. I would be so happy.

Anywho, now I'm finishing up my laundry. Yay for not having to waste quarters! And I just emptied my change jar here at home so that I'll have quarters when I go back to school. I'll be catching my precious zzz's soon. I have the alarm set for 10am. I need to go to the bank to deposit some Valentine's Day checks, then stop by Walgreen's to get a refill on meds and buy a blank VHS tape. Then I'll be heading to Target with Fayanne. I need to pick up some necessities for the car, like an atlas, ice scraper, blanket, all that fun stuff that I had in my old car...but the insurance company failed to return. Just like my iPass, phone charger cable, cassette adapter, Peter Pandapotamous and a slew of other stuff. Oh, but they sent me back my old license plates. [...] Dumbasses.

*breathe* Sorry, done. They just bother me.

So after Target, Fayanne and I are getting Chinese food from New China. Ah, how I miss some GOOD Chinese. Quality.

I'll probably be on the road by 1pm. With a 4+ hour drive ahead of me, and a time change, that should get me into Bloomington just before dark. Quickest visit home ever. 20 hours. I'm hoping to come back soon though. I want to return the first weekend in March, so I can see the musical. By the way, Whitney and Becca are the coolest EVER because they decided to call me from the Harvard/Yale Basketball game where they are for the Boston trip. I miss Chorale, and chorus trips! But I love my girls! :-*

Point is, that I think that weekend is when Fayanne is moving. And I really should be there to help, not supporting my friends who are running, costuming, and acting in Footloose. More deliberation on this later.

Well, my laundry is drying, so there's nothing I can do with that before tomorrow. I have the morning/afternoon planned. I might write up some lesson plans for my french "prof pour trois minutes" presentation. Yay Audrey Tautou.

Random note: I hate fashion.

I hate discussing fashion, I had critiquing every god-damn thing that a person wears...especially if they are famous. I hate people who buy $70, or even better, $130 jeans! Sevens are not that cool people. Learn how to stop wasting mommy and daddy's money. Learn to use your own damn credit card.

Learn that in 10 years, the money you wasted on expensive shoes, jeans, purses, and all the ugly shit that WILL NOT be "in style" for longer than a money, could have been put towards a car, or a house.

YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU WEAR. STOP SPENDING SO MUCH GOD-DAMN MONEY ON UGLY CLOTHES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.

*steps off soapbox*

I just don't get our obsession with expensive stuff. I wear jeans that fit well, not that have a huge pricetag. I wear the same tennis shoes that I have had for over a year and a half. They are dilapidated and falling apart. I wear them with black pants, and brown pants, and dress pants. Yes, it looks a bit tacky...but I'm not wasting my fucking money on a pair of shoes for EVERY OUTFIT. Especially if they cost $85 a pop.

Done now. I promise.

When you were born, they looked at you and said...
I think I've actually been afraid to update as often as usual, for fear of what I would say. I know that doesn't make much sense. When do I ever?

Tonight, the parents bought the car. I have a new Nissan Sentra waiting at home. I'll get it this weekend. As I predicted, Annie has backed out of the Chicago trip. Fortunately I'm not entirely "high and dry" as my sister Fayanne will be coming to pick me up on her "way home" Saturday. Yes, I'm about 2 and a half hours out of the way for her, but she's sweet and she said she wants to see the dorm anyway. So I'll probably get home around mid-afternoon Saturday. And be back on my way to school Sunday. I'll be lucky if I'm there for 24 hours. I'll also be lucky if I actually get to do anything when I'm home. So much for a relaxing weekend, it will be pretty rushed and brief. At least I won't be here though.

Last night I talked on the phone with Allie for two hours. It felt so wonderful, and made me miss home that much more. While I like it here, I don't love it. While I can stand being here, I don't have a great attachment. I miss my friends. They are all such amazing people. Smart, funny, understanding, calm and crazy, intellectual and able to just chill out. Always there when you need a shoulder. I wish Dartmouth wasn't an hour shuttle, 4-hour flight (including layover), and another 2-hour shuttle away. Zoe and Caitlin are the closest and I feel like I've already been there twice, and Zoe came here once. I don't want to be dependent on the past. Bad Gail. Learn to suck it up, you're in the real world now.

They say that you'll lose touch with your high school friends, but the ones you meet in college are forever. I don't really see that. My "high school" friends weren't just people that I hung out with occasionally, talked to during classes and after 4 years, forgot about. I've known them for 13 years, 10 years, 7 years, 4 years. Years of tears and joy, years of learning and making mistakes. They are my salvation and my conscience. My shoulder to cry on and the bitter truth when I need it. You don't just forget people like that. Not the ones that make such an incredible impact on your life. Not the ones that you have shared your most intimate and your most touching moments. These people are my life, and I don't even talk to them on a regular basis, let alone see them. If any of you are actually reading, I love you and miss you more than words can express right now. But my tears can tell you it's real.

To add some insult to injury, lately I've been having the craziest temperature swings. One minute I'm sitting at lunch, wearing my winter coat and shivering violently, the next I'm in English, fanning myself and wishing I had a layer to take off. And then there are the dizzy spells, which never come at "normal" times...like when I haven't eaten, or when I'm exhausted. No, it will be right after a meal, or when I'm doing no stressful activity at all. And it's not only creaping me out, but getting on my nerves. I have my window open about 9" and I'm wearing a tank-top. I'm just starting to get to a comfortable temperature.

Oh, but that's not all. My Advertising test is tomorrow. I feel like I don't know anything. Like I haven't even been to a class to learn it. But I haven't missed a class yet. I have all these notes that mean next to nothing to me. And the entire test is short answer and essay. I need to know "key concepts and ideas" but I have no idea where to begin. I have a century's worth of consumer commercialism to learn, and I don't know where to start. I have no idea what I should be studying. So I'm just going over the readings. Trying to pick up key concepts or ideas. But I don't know. I have a feeling this test will not go well. And after the abomination of a paper that I turned in last week, I might not be able to handle the course. If I can't average a C, it's not going to be worth taking, because it will lower my GPA and won't count toward my major. And right now, I'm doubting that I am earning even a C. I've never struggled this much with a class ever, and I feel powerless.

But on that note, I guess I'll get back to not learning anything from a book that doesn't seem to be saying anything at all. Key ideas...brand names, product association, FDA, social mobility. These are not good enough for the questions he'll be asking. "What made the US such fertile ground for consumerism?" Can we make this multiple choice?

Can I go home right now?

My heart is full and my door's always open, you can come anytime you want...
Finite starts in two minutes...definitely not there. I just couldn't take it today. Last night I was up until 2:30am finishing my paper, which I felt pretty good about at the time. And for some reason, I had an insanely restless night until about 4am. Then the alarm went off at 8, and I knew it would be tough.

But Hollywood was fine, and I needed to go to Advertising due to our test on Thursday. I feel like that class is going to kick my ass. I definitely know now that my paper I was spazzing out over last week could not possibly earn anything higher than a C. It just was not quality. I didn't make enough connections. I didn't talk about the future implications of the ads. My analysis was crap.

So these realizations, plus cramming horribly during the review today, writing down everything my hands would allow...it was all just insane. I got so antsy and nervous. My tummy is aching with stress. I decided that the last thing I need right now is Finite Mathematics, which I'm definitely acing right now...a stark contrast to Advertising.

So now I'm home, making myself some nice, calming rice for lunch, and thinking about watching He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, a French Audrey Tautou film which I will be using for my French presentation next week. I'll be talking about film, specifically those with Tautou as a star. I'm obviously seen Amélie, and this weekend, I'm hoping to find L'Auberge Espagnole at a Blockbuster or something. Possibly also watching Dirty Pretty Things as well, her most recent film which gained American attention.

*breathes*

I really need to get away this weekend. If Annie decides not to go to Chicago this weekend, I don't know what I'll do. I must go home. And mommy is already excited. I can't disappoint her.

It's been a busy and not-so-plesant weekend. I've spent money...about $14 total, but still. I don't have that money. I need to stop spending. Though in about 4 weeks, I'll have my tax return money coming back. I think about $60, so that will be all fine and dandy.

I don't feel so good. My throat feels so painful, and my tummy isn't so happy either. I've been trying to drink a lot of water, but it doesn't help after a while. And I haven't been getting much sleep either. Just a lot of bad stuff.

But yesterday I did my French homework and today I finished editing up my English paper. Not so good, but more solid, I suppose. Now I'm breaking before starting on my Hollywood II paper, and watching To Catch a Thief. Good ol' Hitchcock.

Well, back to my papering, I guess. Oh, I also have an Art History history quiz tomorrow too. BOOOO.

I miss you, I miss talking all night long with you...
Just got back from a viewing of The Bicycle Thief. Felt long, even though it was only 90 minutes. The subtitles were subpar, but it's a difficult film to translate, I suppose. Always a lot of talking and background noise. Oh well, it was still good. Not the best, but very solid.

Now I'm pretty tired. And a bit frustrated. Because things this week have either been really got or really bad. Today I went to get the stuff out of my car, and after driving around for an hour to try and find the damn place, we discoved that the vehicle had been picked up by the insurance company last week. It doesn't make any sense to me, because until yesterday when Mommy sent them the title, it wasn't theirs to take. I want my stuff, dammit!

And then there's that issue of rarely being happy and even more so of being cynical too much. Apparently some people around here are starting to get fed up with is. Well then, I guess I should just stop that then, eh?

Oy, if only I could. But enough of that, I should find something to do. I don't want to do work, and I have a headache, so I'm not really in the mood for another movie. So much that I want to see, and yet so little ambition right now.

You're my survival, you're my living proof...
Today was long, and pretty damn horrid. Woke up a bit late, so that always gives a bad general feeling. Yuck.

But classes dragged on. Finite test wasn't too bad. Then it started to sleet and it was heavily raining and quickly turning the ground to ice. I fell on my knee once today and in my head wondered if Washington DC had the same salt <-> limestone issue. You can't tell me that the nation's capital just lets cars and people slide around. They have to have a better solution.

Anyway. I came home and watched Lost in Translation, which I purchased yesterday. I fell asleep during the last part (I stayed awake long enough to see them fall asleep together and he put his hand over her foot...my favorite part). I napped for damn near 3 and a half hours, then woke up and a bunch of us watched Donnie Darko. Excellent. Have oodles of questions that I'm trying to rationalize in my mind, but I'll figure it all out eventually.

Now, I'm just hanging out. Having kicked the loud, obnoxious people from my room, I'm reveling in relative-silence until our supposed "fire drill" that should be taking place at 1am. Cruel rumor or cruel university? I guess we'll find out in a few minutes.

Yesterday was cool, because Chad's friend Drew was up and we all went to Chili's for dinner and then to Best Buy. I exchanged Catch Me if You Can full screen for the widescreen, and then used my $50 gift cheque from Christmas to buy Lost in Translation and He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, an Audrey Tautou film (in French with subtitles, of course).

After the drill, I'm hitting the hay. I need sleep. Exhaustion is not cool for me.

On today's show, we have an email drafted by Gail's mother, proclaiming that the insurance company will be giving $1200 for a new car, and if we purchase one in the next 30 days, they will pay for the sales tax, license transfer fee, delivery fee, and all that stuff, up to $300.

I don't deserve this. How have I been good enough for this?

Oh well. Good day, I suppose. Classes not too bad. Art boring, but he was talking about van Eyke's Andolfini(?) which I knew about, so I sketched. French test on Friday. Oh well. English was boring, but I was in a group with Zach (from Highland Park) and two other guys from the suburbs of Chicago. Hot shit. I miss home.

So much for my relatively good day yesterday. Last night I was up until 4am pumping out a paper, which I wanted to revise and edit this morning. Instead, I slept a little too late, only had time to proofread once and fix the major comprehension errors, and get to my morning class, 10 minutes late, in pajamas and without a shower. Oh yeah, good morning.

And the paper is crap. I'm very self-conscious about it, and I probably shouldn't be. But I didn't use any support from the book or author that we were supposed to be using. I didn't even mention his name in the entire paper. I shouldn't be worried, but I am because 6 courses is starting to stress me out, and the 300-level scares me every once in a while. A couple girls sitting next to me today were talking about grad school and graduating in April. I'm in a class with Seniors. I feel entirely too out of place. Granted there are also Sophomores and Juniors, but I think I might be the only Freshman in the entire class. And that scares me.

Well, enough of a rant. If I keep thinking about this, I'll just give myself a bigger headache, and my stomach will end up in more knots. I need a nice, hot shower, then a long nap until my film screening tonight. "I Love Lucy" episode, "The Honeymooners" episode and Pillow Talk with Rock Hudson and Doris Day. I've seen it a few times, but I should go for the TV shows. Maybe I'll do my french and math homework during that time.

Everybody's working for the weekend...

It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...
Today was actually a pretty good day. I didn't finish my english paper last night so I had to wake up at 8:45am to finish it in the couple hours before art history. I did a piss-poor job, but it's only a rough draft.

Then Katie and I walked in hazardous, icy conditions to the Art Building. Apparently the city of Bloomington cannot use salt because of all the limestone buildings which would corrode with the salt. So their solution? DO NOTHING! So we slipped and slided all the way to Art. Only to find out that it had been cancelled. So we walked back to the dorm.

Luckily, this gave me a chance to shower and nap. Which was much needed and quite appreciated. Then was French and English. Both quite average. But we got out of English a tad bit early.

Since, I have done not much of anything. Started working on my Advertising paper. We had a floor meeting. We're taking a trip to Chicago, which will be fun stuff, because I love my city.

Now [an hour and a half after starting this post] we're in the Hoosier Cafe, working on homework while intaking some Starbuck's goodness. Eek, my paper is due in 12 hours.

Lately, nothing seems to be going right...
Happy February. Again, forgot to say "rabbit, rabbit" when I woke up, but I'm not much for increasing luck anyway. I mean, it's pretty pointless when things never go right.

Went to bed early-ish last night because I didn't go to RENT. So I was asleep when they got home. Then when I woke up this morning, everyone else was still sleeping, so I went back to bed and didn't wake up until 2:30 and felt so off and groggy. But I don't have much to do today. The Superbowl kick-off is at 6:20, I think (since I'm in crazy Eastern Time Zone), but I'll only watch that for the awesome commercials. No annual party at Rob's...it's sad.

I have an English rough draft to write for tomorrow, and then my Advertising paper is due on Tuesday. I'll definitely want to get started on that today. I might have a French test this week too...eep! It's odd to care about French again. Yay F250.

Later, I'm going to be seeing a movie. Justin's paying for my ticket because he said he wouldn't talk to me for an entire day if I didn't go, since I ditched out on RENT last night too. I think we are seeing Monster. I don't do scary, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad.

Now I'm going to get to those papers. I don't want to be up too late.
