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!
