Edited Post for first time in my life.

Yes, cranky and with good reason. [edited] neighbor [edit] two friends [edit] stupid [edit] Last night they were finally caught by an RA [edit] floor is rejoicing [edit]

1) Knocking at 3amish on all the doors
2) slamming his own door every three minutes
3) Tearing down signs and door decorations
4) Snorting snot onto our carpeted hallways - YES, he does and I hear it off and on and some have caught him. He just shrugs us off
[edit]
7) Talking on the phone as if he were talking to the actual person from 30 miles away. I swear he needs to learn that we can hear *everything* through these walls if he's loud enough.

But, all that aside... Lots going on. So I suggest cleaning your room, opening the window to the nice cool and rainy air and listening to Korn... Issues Album of course. Hopefully he hates this music ;) If not, I'll change it to Marilyn Manson.

D I N G !

Yesterday, I was nervous up until 2 minutes into my thesis defense and then the dam broke - I felt like, well yah, i wrote the darn 65 pages, I *can* talk about it for an hour or two easily! Which is what we all did. I even have an idea about some future topics to write about thanks to my committee members. Just so happy and relieved that I passed.

Now, I am working on my paper for Troy class - which is actually making me look at the Chaucer play a lot more closely than earlier and I'm finding some interesting things. Can't wait to get that paper finished and give that presentation.

A Burberry London fog

Winding down on some

Well, thesis is practically done. My Defense date is set for Wednesday, April 26th at 1:15-3ishpm. in HS 329 if anybody is desperately wanting to hear about Beowulf and Icelandic Saga women. ;-) My latest version of thesis is sitting on my desk, ready to be brought into the Graduate office for format scouring. Hopefully not too much is wrong with it. Also, I been in touch with the grad office a lot today and feel better about some of my timing being a bit off.

Im tempted to take a nap - have had no caffiene today, trying my best to stay away from it. The sun is so bright, though. I should be outside running around, but i just feel tired. hehe What I get for being used to naps :P

I have had some good news in job possibilities. I put my name into the pool at Residential Life, in case anything opens up there. I also called the community college office and was told they were *just* starting selection processes and probably won't hear from them for a good 2 weeks. Ah well.
My to do list:

• Talk to Ll about SunSplash
• Make a list of things to buy for OakStock and Campout
• Email everyone about Meeting for Monday - 8:30ish should be good
• Sunday is Easter at Moms!
• Comp Test Email to RW
• Comp Test to DE
• 10-20 pger for Troy class

hehe Awesomeness comes in small packages

Dooce brought me to Yogabeans - a whole 8 inches of fun with plastic Yoga toys.

Wow

Well,

My previous to do list was getting smaller and smaller. I have so much going on, its crazy! I am starting to run into the Oak Hall Council stuff that I've had to put to the side, but I think I can start really looking into that now.

• Schedule a meeting tomorrow night for EXEC meeting
• Call for Vendor Numbers
• call Cdy about band and meeting
• Figure out schedule and resources needed for bands
• Jarva?
• Camping gear and supplies
• Money orders

Also, I have some promising reports for jobs and I am so glad BSU is a remarkable school. If you haven't gotten involved with the school and the people and all the activities, you are really missing out! I have to say that I have felt more at home here ever since Steve from Birch/Linden approached me about being in Hall Council and it all snowballed from there. Completely changed my life and my outlook on what college entails. It's not only learning from classes, its learning from the students/residents and faculty! (Lol, im starting to sound like an ad, sorry folks - just the way I feel about BSU)

Stress and Excitement

Well, the thesis has been sent out to the committee members. The date, however, is not confirmed yet for my defense. Hopefully the decision on a time and place won't became a huge issue. To do listings will have to be interspersed in order for it to be complete for tomorrow.

• E-Mail committee members for possible dates for defense of thesis
• E-Mail Dr. K about thesis

Also, I have looked at the Pioneer for a job. Ugh. Not much in jobs there so this summer I may just have to find one of those fun jobs where i get paid min. wage. :P

• Call College human services about jobs - Left MSG
• Talk to SH - email about list for adjunct
• Talk to L's neighbor about tech

Have been looking at places to live - quite a lot of places out there but I drove by a few and they don't look very nice. .sigh But... I think I'll be calling a lot of them tomorrow to see what the Apt's have and how much. Perhaps that can work.

• Call Apt's and other renting places numbers

Of course I am having lunch with D and Aspen tomorrow at 10:30, should stop by DE's office and talk to her about my Comp test.

• Finish comp test for DE
• Email possible topices to RW

Oh and YAAAY I don't work the rest of the week after Monday. OMG, ehehe I am so excited. I'll have MORE than a week off. /bounce. I have worked so much, but it was desperately needed and that paid off in my resolve to get my thesis worked on and finished.

• Wash dishes
• Wash single load of clothes

Last time I washed clothes, I spent about 13$ and took 5 washers the first time and 3 after that. It was completely crazy!

And.. im wearing a skirt - first time in a loooonnnnnnng time. Feels pretty good :-)

Fun with the camera

Jer and D showed me a camera that is connected to the computer/monitor of some new machine (have no idea how to describe) and I was able to have some fun with the different settings with the camera - no, that really isn't what my butt looks like ... its slightly flatter ;-) Here is the best shot I have ever had done of my rear. I was laughing so hard and couldn't wait to get it up on the blog. :-)

it's a beautiful thing - 64 or so pages of text that you put a year into... its pages were so nice and warm when they came out of the printer. and the weight is so hefty hehe and looks mighty spiffy with a large clip

About to Close down the Library

But, oh my GOSH!

I think im almost done. And I mean *done*! I have everything written... it is all placed nicely in a package... Deanna just has 3 chapters to look over and I'll rework them tomorrow night... and then... KAPOW - out it goes

Uh oh, i gotta go close library now, dangit now im hyper heheehehehe

Totally Exhausted

I did finish editting at 9am.. so basically i worked straight on 60 pages from 9pm (library until midnight) to 9am.... 12 Hours! That's the hand written editting with the subsequent typing editting. Yet, I was still wide awake when I went to drop off my stuff. Albeit, I was totally mumbling and not understood because I couldn't think straight, but I was able to hold a conference with a very relieved DE and she is hoping (me too) that we can send out my drafts to the others in my committee and set a date for the 28th this month for my defense. /bounce

After I talked with DE, I went home, shut the blinds and crawled into bed. 1pm until 4:30... not enough! But, I had to eat dinner so I dragged myself out of bed and ate with D and now im stuck at the library until midnight. Its 8pm... and im barely conscious... but kinda hanging in there. My arms are super sore and tired from typing and writing, and my eyes kinda wiggle a bit looking around... but I think I can make it. hehee think I can, think I can.

Working on my conclusion.... I know what I want but I am doing this on very little sleep and a depleting supply of caffiene. mmm I had choco icecream after dinner.. neener

wanna go home now.. :P

Still Awake

Not doing so good, but i finished what I needed to and im STILL awake, which is just CRAZY!

so, going to head to lunch and hopefully will see those that usually go are there... not sure on what's going on, so I'm winging it hehe. you know who you are! Stress=bad and so i am trying not to have stress beyond my thesis.. but stress just finds me bah!

k, going downstairs to see if i made the oak printer blow up hehehe 60+ pages can do that I hear

lalalal

yep.. still wide awake - some flippin' good coffee! I am a little sore in the shoulders... but my eyes only blur off and on atm hehe

gads, im gonna be sleeping during light hours tomorrow :P Not sure if im going to stop editing - i only just finished page 30/65

Yaaaaar

uh huh
uh huh
cooffffeeeee and gumm..... and only 16 pages into thesis.... yaaarrr

uhh i need sleep hehe

Ahhhhh

Pulling an all nighter tonight.

Oh yeah, the smell of coffee at 2am in the morning. For some reason it kinda tastes like perfume... wonder if its been exposed to waftage hehe

Oy, my thesis is still too rough for giving out... i need to get this better draft to Deanna asap tomorrow and so that means I may be dead walking tomorrow - so excuse me if im totally blanked out. PS dont mean to be ignoring ppl, sorry! But holy cow, you guys have NO idea .. unless yer one of the other 2 who are also working on thesis' heheh
