Ok Go is a no go because my car is crap. Stupid college education.
Instead, I shall be going to Red Flannel! Yay for small town celebrations.
I love you all.
P.S. I have been so tired lately that I slept through one of my classes today. I went over to Nick's to take a nap and fell asleep from 11 to 1:15 when I had to go to work. And I'm still tired. It's because of this France STRESS and midterm STRESS. I hate being stressed because I get tired and snappy.
P.P.S. I saw Katie today and I am fulfilled as a human being. I have reached enlightenment and it is named Kittie Katie. I missed her oodles.
P.P.P.S. I found a whole bag full of Christian romance novels I haven't read yet. I am going to go read then sleep.

To people who would like to go to the Ok Go concert on Saturday:
I could not find a time for the concert but it is apparently before the football game. (If anyone knows further details, please tell me.)
If you would like to go, respond to this entry and/or call me.
We'll figure out transportation once I know for sure who's coming. I planned on making it a day trip, leaving early on Saturday, picking up Katie at Western and hanging out in Ann Arbor once we got there (because I love Ann Arbor and I want Katie to come).
I love you all.

My French professor joked with us the other day and he was so proud that he had made us all laugh.
A student asked how long our compositions needed to be (the last one was, at maximum, a page). He replied with a straight face saying it needed to be no more than 5 or 6 pages. We all made that stunned "wha?!" noise before laughing as he smiled.
It was hilarious. He's so French it's awesome.
I love college.

My sister just informed me that Ok Go is having a free concert in Ann Arbor on October 7. That is a Saturday and also the same day as Rockford's homecoming dance (ha ha on my sister).
I was thinking of going if people want to come along. It's Ok Go and it's FREE.
It's also a two and a half hour drive so this decision is liable to change. Unless I end up not driving, then I'm all for it.
(BTW, I liked them before they sold out and were famously awesome. Gotta keep up my indie cred.)
I love you.
P.S. I just realized that is also Red Flannel weekend. Decisions, decisions.
P.P.S. Emily and I will both turn 20 in France. I expect cards and packages.

:: Mood: sick
Yesterday
Nick and I went to see The Last Kiss last night at Celebration. In the middle of the movie, I thought I head a tornado siren but shrugged it off because I always think I'm hearing a tornado siren.
Nick kept pointing out that the projector was making weird noises and he was getting nervous about it which made me nervous. The whole theater was really anxious and everyone kept shifting in their seats.
I began to hear the rain start falling a lot more than it had been. It was pounded loudly on the roof but there wasn't any thunder, just rain pouring down. Suddenly there was a big booming noise and the power went out. No one screamed or anything thank goodness because I hate when people scream when the power goes out.
Anyway so the power went out and we just sat there. Nick (thank goodness he was there) grabbed my hand and started talking to me. He just kept talking trying to calm me down as the power came back on. I told him I was okay, just surprised and we sat in the theater murmuring for thirty seconds just waiting for someone to tell us what to do.
As a girl got up to leave the theater and see what was happening, someone came into the theater: "There's a tornado warning and we need you all to come into the hallway."
There was no hesitation as we all gathered our things and left the theater. As we got outside, Nick noticed I was shaking and he talked me down again. My parents were gone this weekend so I was worried about Hannah and Nathaniel. I called them and they were okay so I was okay.
We sat in the hallway for about half an hour and in that time we were told that two tornadoes had touched down and were heading north towards us. The tornado warning was over at 6:30 but then extended to 6:42 so everyone just sort of sat around waiting. We got free passes to another movie so it was okay.
Yeah, it was fun. Tornado warnings have always freaked me out, ever since I was a little kid. The first one I remember was when I was in first or second grade when we lived in McHenry, IL. I was in the kitchen at the table with my mom and a tornado warning came on the little TV.
I love you all.

I just wrote my first horrid paper of the semester and told my boyfriend that I didn't want to see him this weekend because all he does is play WoW.
Yay.

My sister and I were digging through our old VHS tapes and we found The Princess and the Goblin. It wasn't as wonderful as we remembered.
We also found our old Hello Kitty tapes. I love Hello Kitty. We watch Hello Kitty Cinderella and Hello Kitty Heidi. It was fantastic.
My father comes home at some point today. His flight was delayed.
I have homework to do whenever I become not lazy.
I love you all.
P.S. I bought Nick an alarm clock. It's also a night light.
P.P.S. The Princess and the Goblin had a preview for Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland before it. I love that movie too.

Classes are fine. I will hopefully be getting books tomorrow or Thursday because I have homework due on Thursday and Friday.
I got a new tire. It was 48 dollars and change.
I need $1100 give or take $10 by September 6. Then I will need $520 every month through April. France.
I love you all.

Since my classes don't start until tomorrow at noon, I'm going to try and see if I can get my tire fixed before then.
I hope so because I have class until 6:30.
I'm all set for school (minus books), just nervous.
I'm going to go do laundry and clean my room.
I love you all.

Some student mentioned on The Moose (Aquinas' online forum/news post thing) that he wanted to start an Arabic class and all he needed were people who wanted to take it.
I stupidly emailed him to say I would love to take it. Even though I'm at 18 credits and six classes. I don't know about your college, but at Aquinas 12-18 credits is the same price and 19 credits or higher costs more money.
So if this Arabic class does pan out, I have to drop something. Maybe more than one somethings because a language class is usually 4 credits. So there goes Spanish.
I don't mind really. I have always wanted to learn Arabic. My grandmother never spoke it. She always told us when our shintins were showing but besides that, the only Arabic she spoke was when she told us the names of the food she was making.
I miss my grandmother. I miss her yelling at my mom ("Annie!") or just plain exclaiming ("For HEAVEN'S sake"). I miss the plastic lego-like plants on the table that no one dared to sit by and the hassock that was held together, barely, by packaging tape. I miss Easter and her horribly 50's Christmas tree. I miss Thanksgiving with everyone in the family and time-outs in "the chair" when we were too old. I miss her homemade play-doh and the little cinnamon rolls she always bought. I miss "Uncle Mike's juice" and my cousin, Tyler. I miss my grandfather's chair and watching TV through his binoculars. I miss her fireplace and her huge piece-of-furniture-TV.
Tangent, sorry.
I love you all.

im finally home from work.
i spent an awesome week in the city. patrice and i both got jobs; mine is at columbia and hers is at coldstone. we ate at some restaurants, walked on some streets, spent loads of money, went grocery shopping. we unpacked a lot, and patrice has endless clothes.
i went to columbia today to sign a paper at ten am, then hurried to make the ten thirty metra to north glenview, which i did.
except i got on the west line...not the north. so i had to turn around, wait thirty minutes for the eastbound train, run off that train to catch the northbound and i finally made it to north glenview, and then to yardhouse, forty minutes late. but work wasnt too bad. i coloured mostly.
afterwards, i called a bunch of friends and my family. no one could come pick me up. none of my friends answered, and my brother was going out, and my parents were both too intoxicated. isn't that fun?
my brother didnt even leave until i got home anyway...and i had to have katie, who was planning to head twenty minutes the opposite direction, drive me home.
so needless to say, im a little perturbed.
however, my paycheck is $402.80, the most i've ever made on one paycheck. and it's most of my rent.
also, my new job pays $7.75/hr, and has a steady 20 hrs a week. that makes $155 a week, $620 a month, minus taxes, but it's still good for rent. heck yes! plus, i'm planning on aquiring another job for the weekends... :-D

Work is really busy this week because of people who want to schedule or change classes at the last minute. How much of the last minute? School starts on Monday and people are making appointments for Friday.
Anyway, I went into work today from 9-5 and I'll go in tomorrow too. Then I'll be in for my normal hours the rest of the week.
I am not looking forward to next week. The first few weeks are horrible work-wise. Everyone wants a copy of their schedule (even though they can get it online) and they all want to drop and add classes.
I'm excited that classes start soon but my schedule is so messy that I'm afraid I'll be stressed out.
[Schedule below the cut.]

I can't remember when I work so until I do, just think of it as Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday when I'm not in class.
I love you all.

Went to India for two weeks for a school trip.
I'm back. Our studies in ayurveda are basically going to bore you, so I won't bother you with those. Our touristy stuff I can tell you later.
I can give you a fairly good representation of one crazy day in India.
We were on our way from Delhi to Agra in a rented A/C taxi. Dr. Bauman had been chatting with the driver in Hindi, because that way they rip you off less and are less inclined to drive you to places you don't want to go just to get a commission from some shopkeeper in case you buy something.
He passed a roadside rather-shady poll collector. It's hard to tell the government officials because they look just like local people who are simply pissed that a road was built and want to take your money to get back at The Man. He passed it, but thought better of it and went back after driving about half a mile down the road. We were left in the middle of a dusty road full of other vehicles.
Dr. Bauman turns around. "So, since it's been a while since the first time I was here, what are you guys really finding interesting now that you're here?"
"What's interesting?" was the general response. "What do you mean, have we seen anything interesting?"
Then, the circus began.
A woman approached the car with a handful of beaded necklaces. "Beads, madam. Madam. Madam. Hello." She tapped on the window. She called through the window. She clinked the beads against the glass window where they rattled and clattered and jingled. No amount of telling her no in English or Hindi would dissuade her.
A man walked by on the side of the road followed by two bears on leashes.
By this point we were laughing hysterically, far too involved in how rediculous this was to actually pay attention to how many rupees the necklace woman wanted.
A fakir arrived on the scene, fully arrayed in robes, turban and beard, coming from behind the car with monkeys trailing behind. One or more of them leapt up on our van, clinging to my window (Reread. MY WINDOW.) and gyrating violently in a distinctly sexual manner. We now had the beadwoman, two bears, and a humping monkey seven inches from my face. The laughter contined.
When the fakir noticed that we remained unenticed by his monkey, the animal disappeared. He crept up to my window and began stroking it muttering something about rupees. I looked up and we all collapsed in laughter again. Noticing we still hadn't opened our window and given him money, he raised up to the window a damn cobra. A cobra, people. As Dr. McGrath said, "If he thinks showing us the snake is the best way to get us to roll down the window he has really misjudged his audience!"
The tears flowed, the laughter continued. Still probably not the reaction he was hoping for, but he really didn't want to give up.
Then our driver came back to rescue us as a clown (yes, a clown, in full getup and a plastic clown mask) walked down the street away from us. I guess someone told him that the circus was over and the foreigners were on the move.
See anything interesting, Bauman?
Nah. Who are you kidding. *whistles generic circus theme and walks away with her hands in her pockets*

im sorry i threw a fit tonight.
i didnt want to.
i wish that people would understand that when im upset, i should be left alone, because otherwise, i get more upset.
::sitting by self::
"what's the matter?"
"i'm fine." leave me alone
"no, you arent." i wont be if you dont leave me alone.
"dont worry about it."
"well, im going to." then im going to start crying soon.
"please dont."
"i do. im your friend." funny, now you are? you were so excited to see me and then didnt talk to me all night and now that im upset, you're my friend?
wow. that's great. i have great friends. ones who always stick up for me when im in trouble...they're really great at pulling me out of the mud.
and yes, i know how accessible this is and yes, im doing it on purpose.
this is why i hate doing anything with "couples". not because im lonely but becuase you pay attention to no one but yourselves. you might as well go nowhere with anyone else and drown in each other.
so that's really it. im sick of work. im sick of everyone here. i cant stand home, watching my mum deteriorate. im ready to leave.
so goodnight. i'll do something that i actually want to do in the morning. like the fact that tonight, i wanted to go to Ra with coworkers...like i do every sunday. but i didnt because i was asked to do something else, something with people i was told really wanted to see me.
what a fucking lie.

Bleh.
I worked for five hours today, over 6 yesterday and Sunday.
I don't even know what day it is anymore.
Tomorrow I work at school for five hours (sitting down! excitement!), Thursday I work both school and Meijer (all day school 9-5 and 6:30 to 11 at Meijer) then I work all day at school then at Meijer (9-4:30 at school and 8 or 8 and a half to midnight).
I'm almost to the weekend. As I mentioned before, Nick and I are going to Cleveland on Saturday. His work has some celebratory "we rock at making money" thing. We'll be leaving at 10 in the morning on Saturday and returning at some random time on Sunday. Yay, weekend with the boyfriend.
This was pretty pointless and you didn't really learn anything.
Oh, I'm EXAUSTED and SORE ALL OVER.
I love you all.
P.S. I almost forgot. Working last night at Meijer, the electricity went out at about a quarter to 10. It was neat because everything went really dark except my little cashier screen and then the generator power came on and it was really quiet. Driving home was awesome! It was constant thunder and lightning with a teeny bit of rain but the roads were soaked. My windshield wipers had this neat strobe effect.
P.P.S. I'm excited about tomorrow. Episode two of the new season of Project Runway and no Meijer work. Booyaka.
P.P.P.S I forgot. Geoducks look like giant penises.
