So few days left

Well, instead of a to do list, figured I would just talk...

Sitting in the Oak Computer Lab atm. A few other residents down here, and I'm the one in the corner near D with music softly playing. 80s and others, of course. I didn't bring headphones, never thought about it. It's a computer lab - should it be quiet like in a library? Is that what the labs are resorted to? Where do we get this feeling that it must stay quiet? Can people not type and listen and chat at the same time? But then I dont think D wants other people to bring in their music and have some rap crap blaring through the lab. I did pop in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back for a few minutes but I had forgotten how riddled with F-Bombs that movie is, so I took it out. D had given me that "I work here..." look when he saw what the movie was like. I won't push it.

I don't have class tomorrow, but I have TONS of meetings. BAH! One at 4, one at 8 and on from 9-11. /groan. But, you know, this is the last FULL week - and it's gonna be very soon when I am done being an RA and it's time to move on. Which reminds me, I need to get my crap out of RA storage. It's a huge pile :P

My class I am teaching is going well. They are working on their rough drafts and I'll have them working on the MLA and quoting on Wednesday. I love the highlighter activity - SO TORTUROUS! Also, they begin their presentations this Friday and continue for the ext week.

German is going well. I actually understood most of what was going on and had some of it right! I didn't know we could save the one worksheet for class and so I ended up struggling through it to figure it out so I could turn it in. I ended up having to translate everything into English so I could figure out what to do and then was able to work on it. It;s all about preopositions and such - Crazy rules!

My back is killing me. I would just Love it if someone could just walk all over it and make it crack. I'd ask D, but he may be too heavy for me and squish me. Maybe one of my cousins might do it if I stopped over.

Tomorrow, I plan on sleeping in some and then working on odds and ends. I should go through my paper files and start tossing stuff. Also, I should go to the bank and talk to them (darnit, a to do list hehe).

I'll stop now. :P

Final weeks

Yes, I realize it has been a while. As I go through the last few weeks of classes, I begin to have too much going on and that's when I don't have TIME to blog heheh, what a shame, huh?

Well, Here's a list of what's been going on - otherwise this post will be just too flippin' long:

• Saw my first calf being born last Saturday at D's parents' farm - it **splooshed** and then it was out. Kinda icky, but beautiful at the same time. It was a cute 'lil bugger.
• My grandfather had a birthday this last weekend and I got to go to their house on Sunday. Got him a glow in the dark bear lawn thingy - he loves things like that. Made me happy to see him enjoy it.
• I am waiting for the papers to begin typing up for B
• I started up tanning again - nice and relaxing
• Dyed my hair today back to the coffee brown I like with the red highlights
• Was stalked in the Maple parking lot and followed by a truck with two guys - freaky but it ended as abruptly as it started. Did *not* like the feeling!
• Did a presentation at the Student Scholarship day. Very proud of myself - I had 12 pages and the 5 min flag was when I was only at page 7. Hehe ah well. I love my lit!
• Beat the game A Bards Tale. LOVED IT. Wanna play again!!! Try out the link - it shows the snarkiness of the game.
• Watched the announcement of the new Pope. Have some views on this, but no time. /shrug. Not that it would matter anyway. I'll stick to being Lutheran hehe
• D and I are doing great. We've been watching the Star Wars movies off and on lately to get ready for the last installment next month.
• Signed up for my classes and two of them are at the same time, so I'm going to be shared. heheh fun.

What I am planning and probably won't have time to write about:

• A floor pizza Party
• Helping take charge of the Oak Stock/ Oak Campout in a few weeks. We'll see how this goes
• Working on a floor yearbook - lots of pictures!
• J A's B-day is this Thursday, gonna try and plan something for him through the floor
• German is well as expected, we'll see if she is lenient on my test scores... =/
• Want to see movies - but no time /sigh
• Doing my best to save money for summer.Car insurance will be coming up soon /eep

Otherwise, tons of things going on, not much time left - but still feel a little lazy. Love it!

Such a great week!

Last weekend we went to the Shooting Star Casion and saw a skit of Whose Line is it Anyway with some of the cast.
We gambled a bit also.

Monday, I went to my German test feeling a bit nervouse but came out feeling just as good as I do when I study for days. This time I had only studied one day and tried to relax. We'll see what the grade looks like and see if maybe I push too hard.

Tuesday, I worked on my presentation preperation and my paper that goes with it. A good productive day.

Wednesday I did my presentation and a lot of my friends came to support me and some of my RA friends and Residents too! I also had two professors that know a LOT about my topic, and I felt very nervous at first but I feel I did my research and was covering most of my bases.

Wednesday night we went to the Residential Life Free room and Board drawing and had a blast. I sat with my residents at a big table and enjoyed the games (I entered the flipper race /groan and lost hehe) and all of a sudden they began the big drawing.
D was picked last out of ten, he was the last to grab a key and the last to try the key in the door to see if it opened. one at a time, the people went up and tried the key and each of them weren't able to open it! It came down to D and I saw he was about to shake to death, but he put that key in there and WHOOSH, the door opened and he won!! Free room and board for a whole year! hehehe Exciting for my floor.

Now, today I have been working on student papers, working front desk (made a bulleting board) and tanned some (Yay, I smell like a Pina Colada hehe).

Good week and now it's Payday/Friday tomorrow! YAY

I plan on going to D's house to visit on Saturday and maybe running to my moms on Sunday to visit. I need to do my rounds hehe

SPRING!! I LOVE IT.

Almost done with Friday?!

Well, sitting at my computer, loathe to start studying and nursing a small gash on my head. Teeny tiny, really - but surprisingly bloody. I was rummaging about and suddenly wacked my head against... *something* and ended up bleeding in the same spot where I got the gash from a standard truck running away with my best friend dangling in it.

As soon as I put away my summer clothes, off to German homework. /sigh - tired, but not enough time in a day to get everything I need done.

Uhmm... here's what I actually did...

• Stayed up 'til 3am reading (had to call security at 2am for some monkey business)
• woke up at noon
• showered, dressed, ate lunch
• watched TV for an hour
• Finally posted another comic - not my best... ah well
• started re-reading the third LotR book for references to Eowyn.
• Read many many articles about the two women for my project
• TOTALLY forgot my meeting with my ARHD /sigh
• went to dinner at Pizza Hut
• Hung out in Daryks room and studied
• went to my 9-11 meeting
• Cleaned my room
• going to bed after I post this
  

But, I do feel good about the project. Re-reading the 3 books (in 2 days, I may add) made me remember the excitement of the novels and then revisiting Beowulf is always a pleasure. I would find my research and then go on reading for fun. <3>

Tuuuuuesday

Ah ha, another to do list! I bet ya never woulda guessed!

• Wake up early
• Shower, dress, eat light
• go to bank (get quarters too)
• go to financial aid
• eat lunch (leftovers)
• throw in some laundry
• Find more info in lotR
• document my sources
• find more info in my packet - organize it
• begin an outline for project
• find book and work on beginning and end
• work on it the rest of the day
• Head to meeting at 9-11
• go to bed early

What a weekend. Very studious. But, mostly on my students end where I *had* to get grading done and work on their stuff. Two things are due atm for them and so this week when I am done with my paper and letting it sit, I'll be heading back to their grading.

So...

I was in the Grand Forks Herald as an announcement of my past GAship in the Department of English. I was wrong, I had thought it was an announcement of who had a GAship next year. Ah well, I will keep waiting for word on whether I got one or not....

Somebody reminded me....

...to look at what I have and *can* do and not worry so much about the rest. Worrying does nothing. :P

I am in a great mood today. The lunch with D made me much happier as we sat and chatted in the Union. I was sort of hyper and he was feeling good too. When he left for work and I for my office, he brushed his hand against mine in affection - and that's all I needed to keep me going for the rest of the day.

Last night was a needed reprieve from the dorms. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just too mature to be living in the dorms. That may sound snooty, but I think people grow and just don't need to be around the constant silliness and drama that comes with living on campus. I have to say, I loved all five years, but I am getting a bit worn around the edges.

Ah well, Summer is coming, and the sun is warm and soaky. I am going to walk outside after class and enjoy that breeze!
