:: Music: Million Things by Cloud Cult

Life is awesome. College is awesome. Here is a song for you lazy folks now that you're back in school.
I love you all. Cloud Cult rocks. They have a sad backstory though.

P.S. I know my icon is awful. It's a placeholder until I find something less tacky. Plus it just makes me laugh.

what do you think?

:: Music: Heaven by Lamb

This could be heaven right here on Earth...
I kind of want to see the movie Just Like Heaven for a few reasons.

1. In the theater, the preview had the song Heaven by Lamb in it. And I love Lamb.

2. I'm curious as to how it would end. Like 50 First Dates, there's not really anyway they can end it. She's dead.

3. I'm a sucker for girly movies.

4. Reese Witherspoon is in it.

I love you all.

P.S. I just wrote my first rough draft for my first paper in college!

It's a big joke at Aquinas that the squirrels are evil. It stems from the fact that any squirrel you come upon will not run away, it just stares you down.

Now I didn't believe this because I hadn't seen any squirrels on campus. But on Wednesday, I was walking back through the woods and there was a squirrel by the path just staring at me. He wouldn't move.

So I guess I believe it.

Ignore that first part. It's boring.
I don't really feel like taking a shower tonight. And you know what? I can do that because I am a college student and that's what we do. So tomorrow, I will sport a jaunty chapeau to cover up my greasy hair.

Things are settling down. I just need a JOB and life will be doubleplusgood. As compared to the plusgood it is now. Hardy har har.

If you feel like it, here are pictures from orientation. I'm not in any of those. Well, I'm in the Q.

Aquinas is so beautiful. You guys should just come with me and we'll walk around.

I love you all.

P.S. Nick = the best. Just in case you didn't know.

Didn't get the job.

Whatever.

I can never be sick from school EVER AGAIN
My mommy got an old-fashioned lawn mower. You know. The kind you push and the blades rotate and it makes you wonder how it cuts grass.

I don't know why but I've always wanted one. She said it was because the other one is too hard to push and get out. She also said that the riding lawn mower was too much of a hassle and missed too many spots.

She's lucky my dad's the lawn and garden buyer. Or maybe that's why she asks, because she knows she can get it.

Either way, it does cut grass. It cuts grass really well. So well, in fact, that I might volunteer to cut the grass.

However, Mom tested it out on the front yard and it did nothing to improve the looks at all. It's just as ugly, if not more so. We have this fungus in the middle of the yard in the shape of the letter c. Weeds and crabgrass cover every other part of the yard. (Except for where it touches the neighbor's yard and his fertilizer was inadvertently spread upon some of our yard. I wouldn't be surprised if it was on purpose, as some kind of hint. "Look at how beautiful your yard can be!" If it was, sorry, guy, our well is broken and we can't water the yard. Nice suggestion though.)

I read the funniest thing yesterday. I was reading 1984 because I love those kinds of books. Someone was talking and it said they spoke "parenthetically" but the sentence they spoke was in parentheses. Most awesome thing ever. Oh, George Orwell, you slay me!

School's going fine, by the way. I'll speak more on the subject when I have time to sit down and let it all sink in.

For now, I'm off to read my Nancy Drew book. Number 32 and only cost me a dollar. I'm a sucker for Nancy Drew. You can blame my aunt Patty for that.

I love you all.

P.S. George Orwell (or shall I call him Eric Arthur Blair?) was fugly. Seriously. That had better just be a very bad picture of him (is that a mustache? If not, what is it?) because I don't know how I can love that man anymore. I'm kidding. He could be a 1000-pound woman and I'd still love him. (Not that way, Nick.)

Oh and I don't know if I mentioned this or not but I have an interview tomorrow at 9:30 for a job at the Aquinas library.

I'm pretty sure I'll get it. I was the first person to respond.

I love you all.

So I have my first math class on Tuesday. And I can't find my calculator.

I found my black sharpie (I noticed it was missing this morning), my copy of Le Petit Prince (which has been missing since our Mardi Gras project for French class. It was in the box with supplies that I took to school.) and this gold glitter thing that is involved in another story that proves I'm insane.

But no calculator. I figure I've got a while to find it. I only have math on Tuesdays and Fridays and I probably won't need it the first day.

Stressing out about it isn't helping either.

I love you all.

I start college tomorrow at eight o'clock.

Wow.

pointless rant
So...tired...

I want to sleep in but I can't. Maybe Wednesday I'll be able to.

I love you all.

Tomorrow starts my three-day orientation at Aquinas.

Thursday, I'll go with my parents at around noon and do some things. They'll leave at 7 and I'll be stuck having to socialize. I can't believe I got into an unsocialble funk this close to school starting.

Friday, I'll get there at SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING and do some more stuff UNTIL MIDNIGHT. I wonder if they realize that we're starting school soon.

Saturday, I don't have to be there until 11ish and I only have to stick around until 10 or so.

What sucks is the fact that, after orientation, I can't really hang out with anyone. I need to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and all that jazz. Anyway, Orientation information is here, if you're bored.

I start school on Monday!

I'm excited except for the fact that I spaced my classes out weirdly and I gave myself an early class. I'm not smart. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Plus, I don't have a car so I'll be driving my mom's van until I get my own car. It's going to suck. I'm not even on the insurance yet and I start school on Monday. Maybe I can stay over at Nick's occasionally. He's only about two miles away from school.

I hope everyone's doing okay. I miss you already. E-mail me your addresses and jazz so I can send you letters.

I love you all.

Remember that hot girl I met at Aquinas?

Behold and beware for her hotness is blindingly so!

Too bad she's interested in men. Hee.
