___November 2006___November 30, 2006 Bye 63 degree weather. See you in a million months. Even more snow days are probably going to pop up. Maybe not a lot of snow, but just like many days it could happen. Anyway. So today I had BSAD and my teacher told me he really liked my website that I got an awesome 111% on and asked what programs I used and I hope he shows it off to the rest of the classes. lol. And then I came back and did some homework and got some lunch at the Atrium. Then I had English and that was cool and then I did laundry. Then I rushed to take it out and walked as fast as possible to Millis to do my BSAD group project, or some. It went dandy. Then I ate dinner with them, some anyway, with Stephanie and Emily, joined by Maria and Alison. It was nice seeing them again. Little awkward, but it was fine. Then I said bye to them and went to see Nick. We watched the final Amazing Race and now we're going to have to wait like 2 months before we see the finale lol. Oh well. Then some Office we missed and then he had this RA meeting so I stayed and worked on my BSAD project and made 1.5 million bucks in like a year and a half, which has been impossible to do and I'm excited. And I watched some Office and he came back for Grey's Anatomy and then we watched more tv and then I left because I needed to get back before the weather got worse. AKA, more rain and I was carrying a laptop. But it was fine and finally put away my laundry and that is it! 11:57PM
November 29, 2006 What a warm day of 54, and we'll hit our warmest tomorrow at almost 60 and then it's 30s from here on out. Bleh. Cold! So today I got up and ate breakfast at the Atrium and then had Geog and we had a speaker there today. Then it was time for Econ and that was fine. I came back here afterwards and did my Geog homework and worked ahead and then got some lunch at the Marche and ate back in the room and Nick came over with his lunch and we watched some tv on the laptop. Then he had class and I did Econ and then I had class and yay! we won't have class Friday. That'll be real nice. And so I came back here and conducted my BSAD group meeting online because I couldn't get over in time and I did my part and we're meeting tomorrow sometime. Then I did nothing and wanted to take a nap, but instead went with Emily to the Marche but first went to the library to meet up with Megan and then we went to the Marche and I went to Nick's after I had my pizza. We watched another Amazing Race, 1 left to go! It's real cool. Then we and Jay drove to Costco before it closed at 8:30 and I got 2 cases of Dr. Pepper and we saw Nick's dad haha. Then they dropped me off here and I had my floor meeting at 9 and now I'm bloggin! 9:26PM
November 28, 2006 Brr it sure is getting cold! Might even snow on Saturday. And Sunday. And Monday. Might. lol. And so I had BSAD today. That was fine and I found out I got a 111% on my website assignment for the class. YEAH! That's because it was awesome and I got the highest score out of all four sections and the closest score to mine was a 104%. Oh yeah! I'm so excited. Then I went to the Atrium for some lunch and came back to reread through my paper. Then I printed and went to English class. Worked with Lisa, she's real cool. And then that was over and I did BSAD homework which must have taken 4 hours or so. Just took forever. But I finished and sent it in and then I went with Emily to Cook to get some dinner. Ate here and then went over to Nick's and we watched the 1st Everest and some more Amazing Race which we have like 2 more of thoses left. And then I came back and have been working on the pictures I took of him yesterday for my final projecto. And finished! And it looks cool. And now I'm going to get ready for bed! Oh, I took out my big winter coat to test it out, to see how warm it was. And only indoors, but wow, real thick! I'm very excited to start using that. Maybe I'll break it out on Saturday. Or Sunday. Or Monday. 11:34PM
November 27, 2006 Wow! What a past few days. But mostly, what a past yesterday! I got up at 4 and got ready. We left the house a little after 6 and arrived at the airport at 6:30. I checked in, but uh oh! My 8:00 flight is delayed for an hour and that means I miss my 2nd flight. And the next flight to Burlington is 7 at night. Crap no! So she puts my on a flight at 7:00am. So now I'm going quickly up to security and I quickly say goodbye to my parents and then get through security and as I get to the gate, they are boarding. But I get on. And I'm next to the window and it's a one hour flight and I have to pee half way through. The guy next to me is sleeping and I feel so bad to wake him up, but after like 10 minutes of gathering the strength to disturb him, I go. But I come back and he's asleep. ... Uh oh. But the guy next to me helps me out. I get back in. We land and we're stuck on the tarmac because we can't unload, nothing is open. I have to pee. The whole process is taking too long, I have to go! So I get the guy to get up again, so embarrassing and I go and I've caused a motion because the flight people are all, you have to remain seated blah blah blah. I'm sorry I couldn't hold it any longer!!! So 40 minutes later we get off. I got to my next gate in Atlanta. I grab some lunch at Wendy's and eat at the gate. Then it's time to board. Luckily, I'm on the aisle and it's a 2 hour flight, but no pee problems. And the fight was fine, a little bumpy, but okay and we landed. I meet Nick at the end of the terminal. Yay! Very happy to see him. Missed him so much. And we got to wait for my luggage. It all goes round, and nothing comes out .. .. ...... NO!!! So me and maybe 20 other people, for real, didn't get their luggage so we had to make a baggage claim. It might, might, come in on the 7:00pm fight, arriving at 9:30. Well, I can't make it back to the airport and they'd deliver but they close at 10, so wouldn't get it. So yeah. NO! Nick's dad drops us off at my dorm and I drop off my backpack and invisible piece of luggage. We go to his dorm so I can see his new electronic stuff he got on Black Friday. Pretty sweet. Jay came back and said hi. Then Nick and I went downtown and we made a stop at Brooks so I would have some brushes and a toothbrush and toothpaste. Then we ate at Harris Millis when we got back. Then went back to his room and we hung out with Jay and Chris. But ah hah! Jay is suppose to pick up Colin at the airport at 9:30!! I say I have to go to get my luggage. We all go in the car and get to the airport. I go in and I see Colin and we wait. He came in from a different place but we waited for the luggage. Nick came in and we waited and waited. And it began! I was biting my nails waiting to see it come through the plastic hanging stuff. Minutes go by. BUT there it was!!!! Oh I was so very very very very very happy. We stuff my 49lb piece in the car and go off to get some Burger King. Then they drop me off. Yay luggage. And I unpacked with joy lol. Today. Woke up, got back into dorm routine. Went to Atrium for breakfast and then to Geog. It was good and went to Econ. They put up new shades in there. And it was good. Went back to my room and I emailed the picture in to VT Quarterly and then called the luggage people about my bag. Then Nick and I got lunch, grilled cheese!, at Atrium. Yum! But way busy. And then watched some Amazing Race at his place. Then I did Geog homework and then had web design class. Then I came back and finished Geog quickly and went to Nick's to take pictures of him for my final web design project. Lookin good. So then we watched a bit of tv and I came back for my Cynic meeting. Afterwards I went to Cook for a sandwich. Then I went back to Nick's and him and I and Jay and Colin and Will were watching tv. lol. And then some Amazing Race. It was great! And then came back, in the misty rain. And now I'm going to sleep. 11:59PM
November 25, 2006 Mmm k. Woke up, got dressed and stuff, had tea and oatmeal and then I went to Linens N Things. I said bye to a few people and then went to talk with my boos and I shall be returning when I get back in 20ish days. So that's great! Hugged her goodbye and left. I went to Kohl's to see if I could find a raincoat, but no luck. Instead I walked out with 5 sweaters lol. Hey, all on sale from a total of 140 to 60. I think that's pretty good! Then I got lunch at Sonic, it was delicious. I came back here and ate that lunch and then went to my English paper. But I got real tired while researching for it so I took an hour nap. Woke back up and continued with it, I've got a little over 3 pages, need to get as close to 6 as possible. Then I get to pack and then I'll go to sleep only to wake up a few hours later to get ready and fly back home. 8:13PM
November 24, 2006 Oh I am tired! I went to be early last night. Woke up at 5 this morning. I was texting Nick at 4:30 and he got what he wanted at Best Buy, so congrats to him for being there at 3:30 in the morning, lol. I'm impressed, haha. And so I got ready and was planning to leave to go to work at 7. But I checked the traffic reports and cameras and the roads were wide open so I took a nap, for an hour and left the house at 8:50 lol. And got to the mall, and had like 40 minutes before work so I went to Macy's. Took like 10 minutes to get a spot. It was 95% full, if I had to guess. Just unbelievable! I looked for a rain jacket, but couldn't find such a thing so I went to work. Alas, I wasn't a cashier today, but instead I directed check out traffic and then went to lunch and finished up my recovering. It was pretty busy today too. Very long lines and I was getting hit with people left and right. Crazy to be on the floor. So I finally left work, saying goodbye! But not for too long. I'll be back. And I went to the mall to try to find a rain jacket. But no such thing! Grr. So I got Cane's and went home and ate. And ate later and watched the cool Everest show. And now I'm very tired and want to go to sleep. But I may stay up longer. 8:09PM
November 23, 2006 Ah did I hardly do anything today. Well, anything by means of driving around. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Turkey Day! I woke slept in, but not by much and got dressed. Took a few pics of my new haircut. Then had breakfast and then made a manipulation/clone picture outside for my final project for WWW. It's cool. Then we had our Thanksgiving meal. It was yummy. I had ham, 2 rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, pickles, milk, um pecan pie, rediwhip lol. And maybe something else, I'm not sure. A lot. I was full. Then I worked on my final project and got all the pages together, except I still have a key component missing, but that's alright because I have to learn how to do it. The majority of it is done though. Might not make sense, what I just said, but yeah. Then I had some pecan pie and then it was time for Grey's Anatomy. It was wonderful. And now here I am. So I'm working tomorrow from 10-4. It took 19 minutes to get to work yesterday, tomorrow I'm prepping for 3 hours. That should be good. Linens N Things is near the mall and Best Buy. I think it's a smart move. But we'll see!! Should be an adventure either way. I'm just a little nervous though. Busy busy. Hope I can get a break in. 9:50PM
November 22, 2006 Didn't go to Jamie's last night. She got out of her dinner with her parents and I feel asleep lol. But that's okay. I got up today and went to work from 10-4. I was a cashier! Man do I love that job. I just do. Ringing people up and typing stuff in and moneyy. Yeah. Fun. No problems today. I'm pumped for Black Friday. Going to be quite an adventure! So after work I went to the mall and bought a lot. 8 undies and 1 bra from V's Secret. Then I bought 5 sweatery shirts at Macy's, ours is better at home, er Burlington, lol. And then 1 sweater, 2 under shirts-ish, and 2 pairs of pants at Hollister. Happy Christmas to me, lol. I guess I'm good for Christmas. I just need warmer clothes. Then I got dinner at LaMadeline's. Still trying to cover all the food places. Came home and relaxed!! 9:36PM
November 21, 2006 Finally felt better this morning and good thing too. Wasn't fun. And so I woke up and later had a hair appointment. It's short and I'm not sure if I like it. Guess I'll decide after I style it my way tomorrow. Then I came home and put my earring back in and then I went with dad to the hospital to get a flu shot. Then we stopped at the car place, but they weren't ready for him. So we went to Best Buy because I need a new phone. Very badly. I hate my old phone. And well I found one I liked, but they were out. So we decided to go to the other best buy near the mall. But we had to stop at the car place again and this time got his truck. I met him at Best Buy and we found out my contract is old and it'd just be better if we went to the Cingular store in the mall. So we went there and finally got it. The phone comes in red, but they didn't have that one, but that's alright. Black will do. And so far so good. It's a Samsung c417. And then we had Calendar's for dinner, quite good. And now I'm waiting for a call from Jamie and then I'll go over and chill with her. I might have another headache coming on though.. 8:32PM
November 20, 2006 Woke up kinda early ish to get ready. I ended up having to go to another doctor today and I went there first. They took forever, but it was fine. I ended up being late to my 2nd one, but they still took me in when I was 30 minutes late. I got the chemical peel again. Hurt, but I don't think as bad as it has before. I then changed and went to work. I got a hug from one woman there and it made me feel real good. :) But I think I was low on sugar so I nearly passed out at one point. It was really scary. I couldn't hear and see. So I just sat down and then took my lunch break and had some sugar and soda. Then the rest of work was fine, except I had this terrible headache. I got off before 10 and I picked some food up at McDonalds. I had planned to go over to Jamie's and Amber's tonight, but I felt horrible and just couldn't. And that was our only change, and I feel bad, but I couldn't. So I stayed home, ate my food, got emotional and cried lol and I figured out that I left my nice brown jacket at the face doctors place because that nurse took it off my lap and put in on the chair for no reason at all! Grr. And so I just talked to Nick. 11:59PM
November 19, 2006 Alrighty. So my bed was fantastic. And so was the shower. I went to see Grant for the final time. Then I went to see Jamie and Amber at their place. It's sick. Real nice. Then we went to eat at Walk On's. It took forever to get our food, must have been there for 2 hours. Ridiculous. But it was good, so oh well. Then we went back to their place and talked and caught up. Then I left and went to Linens N Things and said hello to everyone and they remembered me :D yay. And I'm going to be working 3 days this week, so that's awesome. I left and came home and then I went out to eat with the parents for some Mexican. And came back and hooked up my laptop to get the internet since I like it better now. My old comp just feels weird. Well, I'm tired and have another filled day tomorrow. 11:45PM
November 18, 2006 Okay so. I made it home, yay. Here's what went down. Nick picked me up and we went downtown to Pure Pop, but they weren't open yet so we just went to Costco and explored since I have never been in one. It was neat. Like Sam's but yeah better. Then we went back downtown and went to the bank and back to the open Pure Pop. He got some things and then we went to the airport. He came with me to check in and I wanted some lunch so he sat with me for a bit as I ordered food, but he had to go because he was in a 15 minutes parking place. So said, eh will miss him. Already do. So I went through security, and ready with my plastic baggy of eye drops and I made it through. Then waited for the plane. It left late but we made up for it in the air and got there ahead of schedule. Parked and I went to my next gate in Atlanta. Got on immediately and flew to Baton Rouge. Got luggage and my dad brought me home. Then mom came home with food and we talked and caught up and stuff and now here I am. It feels weird to be home though. 11:41PM --I woke up today at 6 and got my shower and getting ready done. My Geog homework was finally put up so I did that, yay. And that's really it so far lol. I guess I'll continue to pack. Anyway, the plan today is to have Nick pick me up here before I'm forced out by 10 and then I'm not sure what we're going to do in the mean time but I have to be at the airport before noon and then I fly home and should hopefully be home by the night. I like to think that I'll have an update later today. 7:51AM
November 17, 2006 Okay so didn't go over to Nick's til like 6 and we all hung out there but uh oh, he had a meeting with his BSAD group so I walked back to my dorm since it was on the way of where he had to go. Then when he was done, we met back up and then went to eat at Harris Millis. He was nice and made me an ice cream cone for dessert and called it chocolate surprise, because it's surprisingly chocolatey. ..lol. But he kept staring and it and I knew something was up. I'm like somethings wrong! lol, but he would eat some of it to prove me wrong. lol. But I said, I bet it's at the bottom. So I kept going anyway and we stopped by to see one of his friends and then I made it to the surprise. It was this squishy thing. lol. I just threw the rest away haha. Turns out it was a chunk of lemon, lmao. Last time he does that lol. So then we went back and waited for The Office to start. Finally did and then it was time for Grey's. They were good and then we watched some Mind of Mencia and later I went home. I wanted to sleep here because I woke up at 5:30 this morning to register for classes at 6. I woke up and went to the bathroom and then practiced the 5 digit numbers I would have to put in. And the moment came and I got all 6 classes that I wanted! First try! Believe me, that is awesome. I was so excited. I helped out Nick too and turns out we have two classes again next semester, 1 planned or well we had the same idea in mind and so of course it worked out. And 1 by chance haha. Cool. So then I went back to sleep and woke up to get ready for my last day of classes! So exciting! I got breakfast first at the Atrium and then had class. Not many were there so our teacher taught a secret set of notes and we were told a bonus question for the final. Then it was time for Econ and barely anyone was there, from 130 to maybe 40. Then I came back and packed a little bit but ate lunch at Atrium and made a stop at the bookstore. Then I did more packing until my last and probably pointless class to go to. Out of 56 kids, 11 were there. So we didn't do much. But he takes attendance so of course I'll go. He let us out 10 minutes early and finally done! I packed a bit more and Nick came over, with his car! Yeah! Drove to the Marche and ate there. Then we went, by car (come on, such a big deal!), to the movie theater. He sneaked in and I felt bad so I waited in line for a ticket, but oh crap they were sold out! Well I called him up and told him, and he knew what to do since he once worked there. So I went through again and asked for a front row ticket since they apparently don't sell those. Got it and went in. Watched the movie Casino Royale. We liked it. One of the better Bond movies I've seen in recent times. It kept moving which is good. And then we went to Best Buy and looked around until the store closed. Then he dropped me off here and I ate some popcorn and now I guess I'm ready to do a little bit more packing. Tomorrow I fly home! It's kinda hard to believe. I have to pack a suitcase to go home and have limited clothes, at home. Strange. But I get a bigger bed, carpet, and a shower without having to wear shoes. I'm exciting. 11:11PM
November 16, 2006 Planning ahead because I probably won't be blogging later. So I ended up just staying here last night. I was tired and my head was working pretty badly. I ended up taking a short nap but then got up to get ready for bed. So back in bed by 11 and I'm trying to sleep when I hear this loud, short buzz. ...Oh crap. That better not be the fire alarm. 5 seconds later the thing was blaring. I jumped out of bed, put on my jacket and glasses, changed into jeans and grabbed my 3 essentials: cell phone (even though it doesn't always work lol), ID card, and keys. And we all went outside. Arg annoying. That alarm is so loud and scary it does a number to my heart. So I'm not sure why it went off, but it wasn't our floor this time. Some were in the shower, but most were complaining they were trying to sleep too. The best quote was to a girl who had her laundry in a basket: "Oh, good thing you grabbed your laundry." It was pretty funny. Finally we were allowed back in and I went to sleep, but only after an hour. Sucked. Woke up today for BSAD and went to it. It was pretty fine and then I came back to do 4 loads of laundry lol. Because it's Thursday! Of course. Then got lunch and came back here to move the laundry around. Then at 1:40 I had to go to a meeting with my English teacher. It was good and we kept it short. She likes the idea for my last big paper. So that's great. I came back and checked up on the classes I want to take next semester, as we're signing up tomorrow morning at 6 AM. Early, but I'll be there. Hopefully lol. Hopefully I'll get what I want. If not, I'm kinda screwed. So yeah and so I went through some papers and now I'm going to go check the mail. The plan for later is to go to Nick's, eventually eat and watch the Office and Grey's. Even though sadly the Office is especially long tonight so we'll miss some of it, oh well. Dad, please get it all. Thanks. And so I guess that is it. I'll be home in 2 days, crazy, I guess I should pack or get something in order. 3:53PM
November 15, 2006 Geez, sorry for not updating yesterday, I just got back late and didn't feel like doing it. But, here it is nonetheless: :D I woke up and went to BSAD and it was grand. Came back and got a yummy lunch of pizza at the Atrium and I ate there as I was reading BSAD. Then I eventually had to go to English and we had a nice time there. Then I came back and did more BSAD work and finished. Then I guess I got dinner but then went to Nick's and then we went to the hockey game. We played BU and won! It was a lot of fun and the place was completely packed this time. The score was 2-1, so intense too. It ended a bit before 10 and I went back to their dorm and then I helped Jay with his math. Eventually Colin and Chris came over and we just hung out. Like I said, I came back late and just went to sleep. Today however I had planned to wake up early but I slept through the alarm, and just woke up at my regular time. I was to study for a map quiz and it wasn't a problem in the end. I went to the Atrium again for breakfast and got a delicious french toast meal, mm! Then had Geog, had the map quiz, did wonderfully and had regular class. Went to Econ and that was good too. Then I came back here and did a WebCT for my BSAD class, working ahead so I don't have to do work over break, and then I went to the Atrium again but for lunch. Got it to go and did more work. Then Nick stopped by after work but then had to go to math. I finished up my stuff and went to web design. Came back and finished that project and talked to mom for a very long time. Now I'm going to grab some food and figure out what to do next! Which is wait until Nick is done watching his movie for his program and I'll just do something on the computer. Done with Geog, Econ, CS, BSAD, and well could do more on English, okay... I will. But first! Some food. Status: 3 days till I'm home! 7:20PM
November 13, 2006 Happy Birthday Rachel! Hope it was smashing. :) So I totally got like 9 hours of sleep last night, but it made me tired today. Blast. Oh well. So before Geog I went to the Atrium and had ... pancakes!!! They were so yummy. And the guy who serves there apparently recognizes me now and smiles lol, it's funny. He's nice though. So yes, excellent pancakes! Then, Geog and it was fine and then Econ and it was fine too lol. Then I went with Nick and we watched the rest of the Office and he got lunch since I can't afford it lol. But that's okay because I had leftover pizza! So I had that and it was nice. Then I did something, not for long because I had to class and that was fine. And then I came back and did some more working ahead work of BSAD and did a quiz online which is good. Then I ate earlier and had a meeting after eating. And it was for the Cynic, no assignments this week since everyone goes home next week. So that's cool. My Rock For Choice pics weren't in. First time I haven't been in the newspaper since I started, but that's okay. They weren't that fantastic. Afterwards had a meeting with Ike and I showed him what I had done so far and I showed a few prints I had too, which was good. And updated him on the VT Quarterly and yeah, it was good. So did the quiz online like I said and then went over to see Nick and watch the television. And now I'm back here and going to get ready for bed. 5 days til I'm home! I can totally countdown on one hand now! 11:28PM
November 12, 2006 Brr I am cold and I want a pizza. So I shall make this shortish, or at least go through it quickly. So I got dinner last night with Emily as we walked over to L&L D to meet up with Megan, Jess, and Meghan's friend Liz to walk to down to her parked car (in the rain and got soaked) to drive to Al's French Frys. They have other things there, and it was very good. I got Nick some food before we left and then I went to L&L to see him. And then we watched this comedy stuff on tv and Jay joined us and then later his new girl -space- friend, Christie (I guess that's how you spell it) came to see him. I was watching Hook and Nick fell asleep on me, again, lol. Went to sleep at 2 and woke up a bit before 10. We watched some tv and got breakfast again at the Marche. We ended up watching two movies on tv, The Whole Nine Yard, and then Ten Yards. It was ehh.... Not entirely too exciting, but ah we were lazy lol. I finally came back here and now I'm working ahead on homework. And now I think I'm going to order some pizza! 7:14PM
November 11, 2006 So I went over and we watched the show Weeds and when someone had a camera in one episode it made me jump up because I had forgotten that I had to take pictures that night! Uh oh! But good thing, I still had an hour before it started. So I left at like 6:40 to go back to the dorm and grab my camera. I walked to the location of the place, but er the place looked dark and I couldn't hear or see anything. There was a fundraiser going on at this frat. So crap, what to do?? So I called my parents and talked as I walked down to Church Street and back. I saw someone standing outside it and asked what's up. It's going on now so I went in, paid my $5 donation and took some pictures for like 50 minutes. I got 200 shots, and it was dark and I didn't have my tripod, so I was a little worried, but I think I've got a few that'll work just fine. I go back to the dorm to grab my phone charger since it died on me. Annoying thing. Can't wait to get something that works. So walked back to Nick's and we watched more stuff and I don't know, listened to music too. We were waiting for Jay and gang to get back, but they did at 1:30 and we were already asleep on the futon while watching Futurama lol. So, so much for that idea. We just went to sleep even though the others were there. Woke up today and we got breakfast at Marche. Mmm. French toast sticks, with powdered sugar, yummy. Which leads me to say: I miss beignet's! Not that I had them a lot, but ugh I want some lol. So we watched Scrubs and then I eventually left around 1. I came back here, showered, and did some work: CS and now some English stuff. Waiting to hear what we're going to do tonight. Dude, I'll be home in a week! Single digits, 7! ah, yay. 5:12PM
November 10, 2006 A Happy Birthday to you Michael! I really don't think you view this anymore, but if you do, here's another message, lol. Anyway. Yesterday was good. But that's pretty much what I say everyday. I had BSAD and I was tired in that class this time. Then I got lunch at the Atrium and it was a Thanksgiving Day special! I got roasted turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and peas and carrots and hot chocolate and it was delicious. So good. I called mom and wished her a happy Thanksgiving lol. Then I had English and we finished the movie Rear Window. Then I rushed off to do laundry. It was fantastic and then I dropped off my pictures at Vermont Quarterly and then did lots of homework before and during and after all this. Then I got dinner at Cook and ate back here and then walked quickly over to L&L to watch the Office with Nick. Got there just in time. Then it was time for Grey's Anatomy. Both good! Today: I woke up and went to the Atrium for breakfast. I got waffles. I haven't had waffles in ages. Or a real breakfast food for that matter. It was so so so good. I'll to do this more often, but I didn't have Geog today. Which was a nice change. I did work on my Geog work before Econ though. Went to that, it was fine and then came back to the dorm to finish Geog and work very hard on my website. After many hours today, try nearly 5, I am almost done with it. Yay. Very pleased about that. I got lunch at one point and been texting Michael today which is nice. Haven't talked to him in quite some time. And now I'm about to go over to Nick's to hang out with the gang over there! So that's why I'm blogging now. 5:03PM
November 8, 2006 I forgot to mention the most important moment of the day yesterday! The fire alarm went off in the dorm. And what a horrible noise it was. Omg. Horrible. So loud and ah, scary sounding. Apparently someone was trying to reheat a cookie but was on the phone and not paying attention and it started smoking and then it sent off the alarms. And it smelt just disgusting too. We had to go outside and the police showed up lol. But they were like who was cookin? And people pointed and yelled, this girl! haha. So back in we went and nasty smell. Today! Had Geog and got my test back, yay an 87. Then I had Econ, it was snazzy. I don't know what I'm talking about lol. Anyway, I went to the Atrium for lunch and it was quite good. Did some Geog homework and was visited with the presence of Nick and we chilled. Then he had math and I finished Geog and did some Econ and then went to web design class.Came out in nearly night darkness and went back to the dorm. Finished Econ and watched some Desperate Housewives. Got dinner with Emily and then listened to conversations for English. I felt creepy, but I listened in on the guy conversation and it was dirty. Talk about sex and girls and etc lol. Then I went to see Nick and typed up my paper. Then it was time for Lost. Pretty good, but alas we have to wait until February now for new episodes! Man! Oh well. So we all just watched tv there, Sex and the City. me, Nick, Jay, and Jay's friend Will. lol. And now I'm back here and headed off to bed! 11:34PM
November 7, 2006 Oh so Sunday, the hockey game was a lot of fun. We thought we'd get free pizza if we wore black for freshmen, but turns out you needed a coupon too. Stupid. But we won the game! 5-2. Lots of fun. Then we ate at the Marche, or got food and ate it back in the common room while watching tv. At 8 we went next door to the other suite and they showed the movie Bad Education. But it's a Spanish movie, so subtitles galore. It was good, very different and not expecting and was a little crazy, but good. Then we left and Jay drove me home as he went to meet up with an SGA member. So anyway, back on for today. Had BSAD. Got my exam back in there, got a B. Yay. Did this survival thing. Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but we began it last week and now we did the 2nd part. It was neat and different. Then since Nick didn't have class we got lunch at the Atrium. It was delicious as usual. But they were really slow. Then came back here and read out of the BSAD book, lol. I just find it funny. He had work and then I had to go to English. We watched the film Rear Window, but didn't finish it. It's by Hitchcock, pretty good. Then I checked the mail, and I got another postcard from mom. Apparently they are in Venice now. Not. lol. And then I began my intense BSAD homework, or well conitnued it from earlier. And worked and worked and then went to Dinner and a Movie with Nick. The country was Zimbabwe. The food was eh, yeah I ate it. Looked kinda funny and well I just prefer what we've got here lol. The movie however was terrible. Just bad quality of everything. We left. He fell asleep in the earlier part of it. lol. So I came back and finished my homework and now I'm trying to watch Lost, but I think it's messing up. So hard to do it. 10:01PM
November 6, 2006 Monday again. But I'm getting excited because I'm nearly home. Not in distance, but in time. Longest I've ever been away, and it's been exciting, but I'm also ready to take a short break and be back in familiar area. Although I now view this campus completely different from when I first arrived to move in. I remember looking in the window and being like wow, our room is so small and boring. But it's home. We've moved in nicely and have stuff all over the walls. I don't want to even think how much of a task it's going to be to take everything down and pack up to go home. Long task. Well I had Geog and had a map quiz, and that went perfectly. Then I went to Econ and that went smoothly as usual. I grabbed lunch with Nick and althought it was good, I was afraid I missed the grilled cheese at Atrium. I had a feeling it was being served and I had forgotten to check the menu online before. And, of course, it was! Man, missed it. Oh well, now I just have to wait for like 2 months to go by. Went back to his dorm and watched three episodes of the Office. Then I called my mom after I left him and got it all worked out so I can stay an extra day in the dorms before Thanksgiving break, which is in almost 11 days. Oh man! Almost down to single digits! I've been counting, as sad as it is, since like 65-70 days. Yeaah.. Long time. So then I had to web design and felt tired but made it through. Came back and did Geog and found out my English eavesdropping assignment has been exteneded so I think I'll do it tomorrow or something. I eventually got dinner, soup, and ate. And it was weird when Meghan, Emily's friend knocked on our window to be let in, because no kidding like a minute or two later Nick knocked on the window. lol, people have knocked in quite a while. As far as I know anyway! So I went to the Cynic meeting. I have several pics in there. My old shots (like weeks old) of the House of Reps are in the paper, along with the Art Works pictures. Infact two are in there and they are good. That's different, usually only one is featured, but this time two! Yay. And that's it. No Econ lecture guy. Oh well. That's okay with me. Came back here and now I'm editing those old Vigil pictures so I can put them on a CD for Vermont Quarterly. 9:10PM
November 5, 2006 I'd get back late and never felt like updating so I'd save it for the next day, but alas same thing would happen. But now I am forcing myself to write out what has happened these past few days. Nah, not that hard to do lol. I just have the time now, and I'm taking a break. So I'll start wtih Friday, because that is where left off. I had Geog and then Econ and we got our exam back in that one. I did better than last time, which is great. So now I just need to do even better on the final and all will be good!! Then Nick came with me back to my room to get the camera and we picked up some lunch at Cook and ate as we walked to Artworks. I was to take pictures there of the new gallery. No one was there so luckily he was with me and I took pictures of the stuff with him looking around. Then we went to this place where you turn stuff in for free and they sell it again, it was neat. Stopped at a few more places and then we came back to the campus. He had to go to math and I did something, I can't recall. Maybe some work. Oh, worked on the pictures I took to email them in. Then I had class, web design. It was delightfull because we are continuing with the web reviews and I just relax since I've done mine. No stress to get in front of everyone. It's nice. So then I came back, and as always I see the sunset immediately after that class. It was so pretty and amazing clouds this day. I really wish I had my camera, the colors were great. Then I think I worked on more pictures but eventually went over to Nick's to hang out. We watched the 4th episode of Lost this season and then went out to the common room to watch some tv. We were waiting for Jay to get back to see if he was interested in some pizza. He wasn't so we ordered some and waited for that. It came and it was very good. Mm! Cheesy bread is the best. Decided. lol. Then let's see. I think we all just hung out. Chris, Jay's friend came over and he's pretty cool. I was walked back later. So yesterday I slept in til like 11 and then got up and showered. I met Nick at the bus stop and we took the bus to UMall. Waited for forever, in the cold mind you, for the 2nd bus to Williston that was late 30 minutes. Awful. We almost gave up. Finally made it and went to the movie theater to see Borat! We got there like 10 minutes and it was nearly sold out and they told us we would have to be in the front row. Damn, that sucks! So we go in and grab the first two seats we see, but he sees something else and checks them out. They are open, awesome! So we actually got good seats. It was great and the movie was hilarious. Omg. It was so nasty at times, but oh man made you laugh so hard. We walked out and waited for the bus, even though we were on the wrong side it still picked us up lol. Went to UMall and had dinner at McDonalds. It was yummy. Then we got on the bus back to UVM. Let's see so then we watched a little bit of the Office and took a nap and just waited for something to happen. At 9 we went in Tova's room, next door, and watched Totally Awesome on VH1 with Tova and Avery. It was funny and over the top lol. Then when it was over went back to Nick's room with him, Jay, Colin, and some other guy who came with Colin. At 1 I went over to L&L D to meet up with Emily so she could drive us back. I was tired so I just fell asleep on the floor and my head was hurting mad bad. Around 2 I was walked out to her car and it seems as if it had snowed a little bit. None on the ground, but some on cars. Brr cold. So we came back and met two guys in the hall. One was mad drunk and his roommate was helping him get upstairs. It was nuts. Poor guy. So out of it. So then I went to sleep, again, after 2:30 and woke up today at 10. Got ready and went on a mission to get some coffee. I forgot Cyber Cafe doesn't open until 12, when normally I'm not even ready by then, so I went to the Marche to get coffee and a muffin. Came back and did my Geog and Econ work. Now I'm bloggin and am about to make some lunch. Then I am going to a big hockey game a 4 and then I'm not sure. 2:06PM
November 2, 2006 We ate at the Marche last night because I wanted some Marche pizza. And it was very yummy. I then made a stop, or rather long visit at Nick's and it was delightful! :) And I came back and now today. Had my BSAD exam and that was good I think. And so I'm done with my exams now so that's excellent. Glad to have it all over with. I then came back here and of course went to the Atrium and got my lunch. I brought Emily along. I ate the food, it was yummy and then I went to English where we had a nice free prompt that was funny. You wrote a sentence or anything of length and then passed it to the next person and we did this until it, nearly, came back around and some of these were just so funny. I came back from class quickly and ran to bring up my laundry. I put it in and did my BSAD homework. Took out my laundry and then went over to Millis to do a little of my BSAD group project. Figured out what we're going to do, so good that's a start at least. And then I stopped at Nick's and then we went back to my dorm to pick up my camera. We then went to this extra credit for Econ lecture, and as it turns out I had to take pictures for it there. So all worked out nicely. Afterwards we went to eat at Harris Millis and it was carb-tastic. Then we watched some Lost and waited for The Office and Grey's to come on. Watched that and Miami Ink and that was good. Then came back here. 11:59PM
November 1, 2006 So I ended up over at Nick's suite and we watched the Exorcise and had a crazy time. I talked a little bit with some of the other girls who live/visit there. And one is from Texas, how about that? So that was uber fun and now this morning I take my shower and get ready for class. I got to Geog and do the usual. Then go to Econ and take my exam. I think it went well. I feel better about it this time then the time before. We got out early so I went over to Cook and got some breakfast. Then I came back and ate it and went to the Atrium and grabbed some lunch lol. I forgot I was planning to go there. Oh well. And then I did my Geog and later went to class, web design. Once again, it felt very weird to see the moon above when I got out of that class. I came back here and studied for my BSAD exam and got a call from the parents. I continued with my studying and now I am finally done and I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to eat for dinner. I want Harris Millis but Emily doesn't want to use so many points. Dilemma lol. These are the hard times in college. 6:38PM
