Still exams

But I’m alright they all cried
As they stumble down the stairs
I’m just finding no inhibitions
No rhyhthm worries or cares
And you’re unstoppable now
Moving on the dancefloor
You’re unstoppable the world is at your feet if only for tonight

~ Milburn “Roll out the Barrell”
from Well Well Well album

Well, have to admit that sounds a bit familiar. Can’t even begin to tell amazing drunk stories however. Unfortunatly it seems I have always been the one with the lowest tolerance… and thus miss most of the night. Sad. Apparently I’m a pretty ridiculous drinker. But I’ll save those stories for later.

I’ve absolutely no focus right now. I slept most of the day away after pulling an all-niter to finish my marketing project. ugh. It was complete crap, but at least the class is over now. yay. I’ve a 10pg paper left to write for my religion class and one more exam on friday for astronomy. I am beyond ready for this to be over. I feel like such a naughty girl. I stole my roommate’s car this morning at 6 to pick up some cigarettes… none of my friends know I smoke. I too afraid of what they’ll say. None of them smoke. I’ve just been so stressed with classes and work and the drama that goes on in the house - I just need that focus. I’ll stop once break starts. Can’t smoke at home anyways. Mom’s asthma is horrible and acts up the moment she smells smoke.

So IndieGuy aimed me this morning bright and early while i was still working on my project.

IndieGuy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzqumbhfxRo
IndieGuy: watch that
IndieGuy: good luck finishing! i’m sure you’ll do great on it
me: thanks. :-\
IndieGuy: no
IndieGuy: only happy faces
IndieGuy:
IndieGuy: like that

The video is pretty crazy though oddly believable. I’ve seen some of my geekier friends do much of the same thing with those amazing editing skills. What made my morning was how convincingly sweet he was. The rest of our conversation was much the same. We usually just joke around and flirt and make fun of each other. I was beginning to wonder if he was a crush only.

Exam Week… Part 2

Woooo!!!!  Can life get any better?!  I submit that it CANNOT! Woooo!!!  Yaaay!!!!  So I am completely and totally done with both Business Law and Statistics!!!  I  actually feel pretty good about those tests too.

Well, with blaw it’s tough to say really how I did.  You could get 100/147 and get a B or a F… everything depends on the curve.  That class was crazy hard, but I will miss it.  The prof is a local attorney, and taking his class made me kinda wish I was still considering law school.  The tests are scary though.  This one did not include essays, but when a prof throws a 36 page exam down on the desk in front of you, you are bound to be a little frightened to say the least. Well it’s over.  That’s what matters.  Even if I flunked the exam (which I don’t think I did) I would get a C for the class.

Stats on the other hand… I think I actually aced it. Well, not ‘aced’ but I think I got an A or AB which would give me an AB for the course.  That would be AMAZING.  I have worked my ass off in all 5 of my courses this semester.  I’ve worked harder this year than ever before. I really really hope this all comes through for me because it has definitely cut into my social/drinking/anything fun habits.

Right now I’m taking a bit of a break from the studying. I figure I’ve earned it. The girls are all gone - went on a walk. It’s gotten now that I can only blog when they aren’t around. I wouldn’t have a problem with them reading the blog. I have nothing in here that stands out as stuff they don’t know. I suppose it is more just having something secret.

Ooooo…. I hear lots of moving around in the kitchen. EvilQueen is packing YAY!!!!I should prolly head down to the kitchen though and make sure she isn’t packing up all of our dishes and stuff too.  She would.  She’s pretty much evil like that, but that’s a story for another day.

UPDATE: Ok, so in my boredom and procrastination I started doing another one of those list things.  This one was ‘highlight everything you’ve done’ and listed everything from eating fried green tomatoes to see the Great Wall of China.  Well now, here I was excited to see how much I’ve done… only to realize that  A) I haven’t lived long enough or B) I am just not a very exciting person. Hmmm …really must work on that.

Exam Week

In an attempt to continue procrastinating…

…Sorry Mel, but I def stole this from you. Since everyone is stealing it though, I don’t feel quite so guilty.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…
Opening Credits:
“Reality TV” - The Infadels
Waking Up:
“Sukie in the Graveyard” – Belle & Sebastian

“Empty Days” - Augustana
Prom:
“If I’d Found the Right Words to Say” - Snow Patrol

Life:

I suppose this would fit better under ‘fight song’ but I am pretty opinionated. Plus, despite my last fight having been in 4th grade… I dont know
Mental Breakdown:
“The Tension And The Terror” - Straylight Run
Can’t really see how this could be a mental breakdown if you listen to the words. Sounds more like teenage love/crush and angst. The music tho works.
Driving:
“The Delicate Place” - Spoon
Flashback:
“Favourite Friend” - Snow Patrol
Getting Back Together:
“Forecast Fascist Future” - Of Montreal
Forget about the life we knew / May we never be stripped of anything we love / may we grow so gentle never go mental / may we never go go mental / may we always stay stay gentle
Wedding:
“Can’t Stop Now” - Keane
…he’s ditching out on the wedding day? or am I the one ditching out? shit.
Birth of Child:
“Believe Me Natalie” - The Killers
Hmm not really that fitting unless you try to wrap it around losing my last chance to have fun… but I don’t want to think of children as no fun
Final Battle:
“Existentialism on Prom Night” - Straylight Run
Death Scene:
“No Reason” - Ben Kweller
Funeral Song:
“The Reason Why” - Rachael Yamagata
Well at least everything resolves itself. I really do hate the idea of dying for no apparent reason.
First orgy:
“Dog” - Ben Folds
…thinking about dogs during orgies…??? prolly a bit of a mood killer
Meeting Leonardo DiCaprio in a NY club:
“Out of Site” - Built to Spill
I dont know. It took me several years and movies to forgive him for titanic… *shudder*
Getting really drunk at your friend’s wedding:
“Philosophy” - Ben Folds
Oooo! I could see a great montage of the wedding here - picks of everyone dancing around to Footloose and the Chicken Dance and having fun and being absolutely ridiculous!
Crashing your car:
“Buckle” - Tapes ‘n’ Tapes
Despite the name, not actually about cars and staying safe.
Overdose scene:
“The Charming Man” - Death Cab for Cutie
A fun, upscale party/club scene - lots of dancing and bright lights - I suppose it’s when I fall over the sink passed out from accidentally overdosing on drugs…
End Credits:
“Fake Frowns” - Death Cab for Cutie

Suppose I’m surprised actually. I’ve over 5,000 songs… and out of all of those songs, neither Green Day nor Radiohead made an appearance. Disappointing considering how those two bands monopolize my iPod otherwise…

Missing Londontown

I suppose I should be sleeping or studying for my exams. However, reading Girl Dates London and I Said, You Look Like a Frog is far more interesting. I suppose I could stay up really late and see if anything creative shows up on PostSecret, but I am getting a bit tired. Afraid I’ve gotten a bit of a cold. :’( Anyway… back to slacking off…

So I ran across this post by LondonGirl ages ago and finally remembered to link to it. COMPLETELY AGREE!!! What is it with men these days??? To be honest, I do know guys who are completely capable of being manly men yet sensitive* enough not to be a complete ass. However, having mastered this, they are all off the market! This is so incredibly frustrating.

Even more frustrating though is the fact that many of these same guys I have known for years… Just a year or two ago they were all considered “cute but undatable” by every girl alive because of their immaturity. And who is the only one not in a relationship? me. sad. Of these amazing friends of mine, 3/6 girls and 6/9 guys are all in relationships! This is crazy! Or not so crazy. Just a bit depressing.

I don’t live in a big city and do attend a smaller college so the dating pool is significantly smaller than I would prefer. Quite a few of the students here on campus went to my high school as well. Random pulls not allowed. It’s funny how fast word travels around the campus. You can makeout with one random guy on friday and by saturday night your English prof knows all the gory details. I supposed that’s why we American girls go a bit nuts when we study aboard and pull several Irish/English/Aussie guys the moment we set foot on foreign soil. You can get away with it overseas - in big cities of course. It isn’t even a big deal if you pash a French one night and run into him the next while pashing an Aussie. Oh londontown… How I miss thee.

1:30am - Back to studying for Business Law.
