helllooo, lj
I am in a fantastic-type mood, and so i will un-abandon you for just one day.

I just finished my econ exam, and while i guess i don't actually know how i did, it seemed to go better than i could've even asked. god knows why i even took econ in the first place, but i hope to never encounter it again. If i keep it up with this post-stress euphoria though, i might think about enrolling in another class or something. no no no.

I got one grade back so far! in anthrbio 361. what an awesome class. not even just awesome because i did well, but awesome because it was different, and relevant to things i like (e.g., humans, social things, and politics a little)

One more exam to go, and tons of packing and moving. and packing and cleaning and moving.
home for a few days, then starting class and living with ms. farris for a few days, then to canada for birthday fun things, getting a job(eee), moving into the bluehaussss, then being all settled in for summer and wonderful times ahead.

funny how the whole world seems a little brighter post-exam.

hello weekend.

2007-01-11T22:22:28Z

although this week was one of the slowest (booze convos on monday, tempted to party on tuesday, feeling like friday on wednesday), it turned out to be borderline interesting.

on monday we almost got into the wrong car while being picked up. hahh, d'oh.

tuesday was quite an adventure. it involed a date, and strangers at our door. yes, tuesday was creepiest, but what a story to tell.

there is a trend, and it leads me to believe that if we continue at this rate we will likely be kidnapped in no time.

anyways, it seems that the roommates and i have some sort of knack for befriending pairs of boys who don't go to um. i can name at least three sets, one of which we saw soso much this week. good thing i really enjoy them. how do people get so nice?

wednesday was for bone-collecting at bdubs. yes, you heard right.

and so far thursday has been for 8 hours of class in a row. a long day, no doubt, but secretly i like being busy, plus classes have yet to get too intense. I was just generally open to new people today, and i met some nice ones in my classes. though it may be too soon to judge, one guy almost made me re-think all of my preconceived notions regarding, gasp, frats. maybe not quite so far, but this kid was just so not-dbag-ish. refreshing!
for the day, and hopefully longer, my academic motivation returned to me. i wish i could learn about so many things. if only there were more time and money. resources are scarce, you know.

so the rest of thursday will be for either a) sleep, or b) partytime. either way i would be quite content.

tomorrow i am lunching with my group of friends from calc two semesters ago. that's cute because, hey, they made that class so enjoyable, and i have hardly seen them all year.
and who knows what more adventures the weekend will bring.

So decidedly i dislike reading pdfs on my computer.
something about reading lengths of texts on the computer really vexes me. i think it is the clicking and scrolling, the brightness, the efforts exerted to ignore the temptation of infinite internetting, and the ims from people that i like even though i have an away message up.

conveniently enough, two of my textbooks are available online via pdf only. So reading on the computer is something i will hopefully grow to like.
it saves lots of money on books. i only spent 200 this semester!

but, wait. i like books. i always have. how they look and feel. and how you can highlight, and note-take in the margins. and how they sit on bookshelves. and how you can take them anywhere and read them anywhere...like when you have annoying half-hour breaks in between classes.

and pdfs make my computer act funny. just a little bit more finicky than usual.

anyways, i am getting over it. hello, technology.

also. a new years resolution or two (or three):
1. less doodling on notes during class. and more productive drawing in the sketchpad/journal/whatever.
2. less craziness. focus, maybe more offline journaling. no more freak-outs. those are dumb, and more importantly they make me feel dumb. so no more feeling dumb.
3. oh, and try not to become completely estranged from brother. i do like him-- at least on those few occassions that we have spoken.

hahuhh,oops.

oh dear, oh dear, how embarassing.
so i have no recollection of posting that last entry.
maybe that is a problem.
how did i manage to use html italics in such a state?
good job, self.

i guess it is laughable, really:
"can i buy a new life, please?"
girl, who says things like that? well, a girl. a dramatic one.
I hate dramatic girls, you know. and now...apparently...i am one. lovely.

i need to get this under control.
i used to be so composed, almost always.
That's what you get, i guess. composure is overrated when it is only at the expense of emotional expression. and now i pay, of course.
learning things all the time.

okay,

2007-01-06T07:57:48Z

stupid!
the only word. the only word.
so awfully, completely, stupid.
can i buy a new life, please?
i am dramatic. god, i hate that.
i hope you don't mind me wasting your lj friends' page.

look at me, posting and things.

I'm bored with mblog for the time being. maybe just a day or two.
so hey, livejournal, i hope you've been well.

I can't believe i had such a party the other night. oh, dear, once timid self, how you have changed. anyways, I think there are traces of alcohol-smell lingering in the air here, and i think my mom knows and has just chosen the passive route. we keep having conversations like this:
'yeah, you just had twenty or thirty people over..'
'hahh...it wasn't twenty, mommm' (maybe it was like 30+, but i told her 15..eh)
'oh, was it forty or fifty?'
'hahuhh, like i even know that many people... :/'

despite my efforts to keep such banter lighthearted, there is some underlying bitterness. and the point is that i think she might know. and also, the point is that apparently i am in high school all over again (dramaaauhhhh).

oh, and lately emotional instability has been the name of my game. public breakdowns are just the least pleasurable of all things. especially when they manifest themselves as overly sarcastic, and correspondingly hurtful remarks to people who are so kind. i wish i would just stop that. just, stoppit.

on a lighter note, break plans are picking up, as i expected. at least for me.
Time spent with old friends today. (some of the ones i really love).
Spencer park holiday reunion party tomorrow afternoon.
Adam's classy holiday soiree tomorrow evening. (get dressy. drink the finest liqueurs.)
You know, New Years.
Hopefully more time spent with people I like.

also, my phone is broken. once again. ze story of my life, in essence.

sufficient, yes?

oh no no no.

2006-10-26T06:32:35Z

i will not have my dear laptop for 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS! i shed tears.

will i survive??
a true test of character, i think. how sad.
