Holy frick. It's 7 degrees out. And it's warmer now than it was a couple of hours ago ><"

So yeah, just came back from taking my 8 a.m. history exam. It's great, I managed to put my fave history term that I've learned this semester into the last essay that I wrote. Good ol' defenestration. They mentioned it once in Questionable Content. I must find it and print it off for my prof.

Waking up at 6 sucks. I'm so glad that I'm not in highschool anymore ;p

One more exam to go...math *shudder* Then the selling of the books and the [hopefully] eating in Bigelowe caf for many hours. Yay. I also should start packing a little. When Tara's awake though. She came in late this morning, so she'll be sleeping for a while. I don't want to wake her up ^^"

Blah, tired. Cross your fingers that I catch the bus.

Bwahaha, I have stolen Eric's ring ;p It's effing awesome and pretty. But I'm gonna give it back to him tomorrows cuz he's got one of my rings ;_; I'll take a picture of it to show everyone its awesomeness.

I watched Eric play Blood Omen (insert random number here) last night. It was like hanging with Ben again. Except Eric's comments were different. I wanna make him play Ninja Gaiden cuz that's fun to watch. Gah, gotta go down sometime within the next couple of days anyways because my VCR is down in his room and I think that Andy wants it back for downstairs.

I'll be home on Friday after 12 noon. Mom's coming to pick me up around 11, and I have a TON of stuff to take home for over break. Edward doesn't wanna go home *whine*

Jackie, we MUST see X3!!!!

Did anyone have Mr. Wells for mathematics at any point in their high school career?

And remember any of his songs?

Are we being educated or just domesticated?
Am I an alarmist or are we really fucked?

[edit]
Also I have decided that it would be cool to be like Robin Hood, on account of the rich people get money that rightfully belongs to the poor. Stupid unfair tax cuts.

I should probably stop listening to Raised Under Reagan. They make me want to do ridicoulous things, like subvert the government....or maybe I should listen to them more...

That is all.

The Christmas Specials day was a success. Started out with me and Eric setting up the VCR and starting to watch Interview with the Vampire (I swear that kid has an obsession with Brad Pitt). Jenn came later and we started watching all sorts of specials. Joel came for the last special, The Muppets' Christmas Carol.

Much fun, j0.

Today I went and saw me surgeon. He had fun informing me that my ovary was ooooooozing blood into my pelvic region. Still no known reason why it happened. I'll be going to a doctor up in GR to see if my woman parts are okay.

Just signed up for my last class for next semester. Myth and Ritual. So I'll have 18 credit hours of class a week. Le w00t. No Friday classes, believe it or not o_O

To those who were driving 20 miles below the speed limit on the East Beltline today:
Look, I know it's December and you're not used to the idea that it's winter in Michigan and it's going to snow every day until March. That's alright, I understand. A few weeks ago, on the first night we got snow, I was driving 30 down the East Beltline. And I drive the speed limit everywhere. I do 70 on the highway (which, if you didn't know, is the speed limit)!

However, when the snow is floating downwards, isn't sticking to the roads and looks like down feathers, it is completely unnecessary to drive 35 miles per hour! I might be a little more lenient if this was real snow but it's lake effect. I don't know if you get your memory erased every March and forget what snow is like, but the roads were barely wet. You don't need to go that slow in your stupid minivan.

Yes, I know I can just shut up and pass you but you're not the only one! The guy in the fast/passing lane was doing 40. It's like a disease!

So please, drive 55 like the sign says. It's okay. You're not going to end up in the ditch. I promise. Just try it and I know that tomorrow you'll be doing your regular 65.

Love,
Rachel

Cedric Diggory was quite the looker
So this weekend's been pretty interesting. I got 3 hours of sleep Friday, then went to see a movie and go to the mall with Tara, her friend Sarah, Jenn, and Amanda version 1.0.

We ended up seeing Harry Potter rather than Rent. It was good, however I've got a few criticisms about the film as well.

Now I'm just hanging on the interweb, studying history.

You know I've noticed something strange....
The more I procrastinate on writing papers, the better grades I get. My sophomore year in high school I started my papers weeks ahead of time and gots D's on them most of the time. My junior and senior years I started them a couple days ahead of time and usually got a B+/A-ish. I started my first paper for English this semester a week or so in advance and got an A-. For my second paper I pulled 2 consecutive all-nighters in the 2 days before it was due. The subject was the affect of place on the American character represented in early American literature. Which is why it required 2 all-nighters to write. But my English prof says it's best to start right away because "good ideas take time to develop".

I have a 15-20 page term paper due in a couple weeks. I'm seriously considering writing the whole thing the weekend before it's due. (It's due on a monday). Am I nuts or could I pull it off?

If anyone got a call from me late last night, I apologize.

I keep my cell phone on my bed because I'm too lazy to look for it when it rings and because it charges as I sleep.

Last night I couldn't sleep very well and lately I've been tossing and turning a lot.

My dad just mentioned that I called him when he was downstairs, asleep and in bed.

He called me back.

So if I called you, I'm sorry. I shall find a better place to put my phone.

Man, these last two weeks of the semester are gonna go by so fast!

I've got a German comp exam tomorrow and the project for German convo is due on Thursday. Our portfolios for English are also due on Thursday. Then conferences next week, or so says the syllabus. Martens will probably change that tomorrow.

Next week I've got a history exam (don't know the day or time yet) and a math exam (on Thursday), we get to make a cheat sheet for the math exam ^_____^

This weekend Jenn, Amanda version 1.0, Tara, and I are going to see Rent (at least that's the plan so far. It'll be a girls' day out!), plus we've got to make time for Christmas specials, Eric brought TONS that his parents have taped over the years. Jenn and I already bought eggnog for it ~_^

Blah. I had to make up a history quiz today.

My history prof is the coolest! He was speaking what sounded like French to this woman, and I saw some arabic books on his desk. Rockin! He also mentioned that he saw I was going to be in his class next semester and printed off his rough copy of the syllabus. And told me where to buy the book. My good cheesey, he's the best.

Tara's gettin sick. I'm plotting on stealing some hot chocolate from the caf for her. If Jeramiah ever gets online ;p
