Happy Halloween! I have to say its been a fun halloween fest here. Just a lot going on with it. I woke this morning full of grossness leaking out of my nose and mouth. Well, to be honest lol. It was nasty, but that was the worst it got the whole day, so must be the sleep thing. I went to BSAD and that class was good. We did this strange survival survey, but it's going to pertain to business? I think? Oh well. Then I got lunch at the Atrium. It consisted of pasta and sauce, broccoli, a large chunk of garlic bread, yellow cake, and a large hot chocolate. I was quite full and it was so yummy. Then I had English saw some dressed up people in the halls. Oh, I wore my cool shirt I wore on halloween last year. It says Batitude and has a bat on it, in army colors. Doesn't make much sense to me, but it's cool. And duh I brought it to college lol. Who cares if I only wear it once. So then I got the mail and got another postcard from my mother and a halloween letter from 'Lexi' heh. She's our dog. lol. And inside was a skeleton ornament, but some of the beads broke, but it still looks good. So no problem there. So I did an English paper and began my intense study of Econ. I did so for many hours and I had leftovers for dinner and here I am now. I hope to celebrate somehow for halloween. Night is still young. 7:55PM
October 30, 2006
Alas, Nick's movie night at his squite and fellow nextdoor suite did not occur, so we just watched tv. But ooo last night we sure got some wind! It was intense and we had the window partially open and that wind was coming in and banging our door in the frame. It was annoying and kept me up for like an hour. But I did fall back asleep and got ready this morning. I didn't want to wash my hair because of the dye. Oh right!! I didn't explain this! So I came back somewhat early and Emily and I attempted to temporarily dye our hair. But as fun and as funny as it was, it didn't really work. Mine was suppose to be more red, but it like just made my scalp red and maybe, maybe made my faded highlights more red. Emily got a tad bit darker, but maybe not lol. So yeah, not washing the hair was a mistake, it looked gross lol. Oh well. I went to Geog and took my exam. It rocked and I came back here. But only to go to Cook to get some hot chocolate and I waited for my next class. Then Nick and I hung out here and got lunch and then he had a meeting with his advisor and he stopped back over before his math class. Then I got a postcard from my parents, as they apparently went to Hawaii. Without me. Who cares if I don't like the beach, I want to go. Oh wait, they were just kidding. Damn. lol. I totally bought it. So then I had class and 2nd class in a row when the prof mentions me and my photography and what I should do for a project. I feel special lol. So when I got out of class, at 4:30, the sun was setting and the moon was in the sky. And dark at 5, it pretty much sucks. So I did my Geog and later got dinner and even later went to a Cynic meeting. Have two nice photos in there, for the Govs debate the Bernie at Rock the Vote. Nice and clear, lighting was good! And I've got two assignments, should be fine. And I do believe that's it. I'm kinda sick, but like slightly. Very little bit anyway. My nose fills up on the occasion, it's all weird. So I don't know what's going on. 9:18PM
October 29, 2006
Didn't do anything last night. I ended up drawing for a few hours and Emily read when she came back. So quite evening. And because of pushing the clocks back I got a solid 12 hours of sleep and that was amazing. So I woke up and got dressed and didn't do much but then went with Emily, Megan, and Jess to EMS where Emily needed a winter jacket and I found a hat I liked so I got that. And since I was a college student I got 15% off. Excellent. Any bit helps. Then we walked to Starbucks and got lunch there. It's in the Barnes and Noble. Looked lovely there! And then we went to the grocery store and I stocked up some things like Dr. Pepper. lol. Then we came back and I studied for Geog. Oh, Emily and I are going to temporarily dye our hair. She's going to do brown and I'm going to add some red to mine. Temporary family. lol. And so we might do it tonight. I ate dinner and I'm about to go over to Nick's for his suite's movie deal. Then come back and do the thing with Emily. Shall be grand. 7:27PM
October 28, 2006
So last night was just great. The girls came over, Megan, Jess, and Erin. I've hung out with them before. Not all together, but yeah, lol. Anyway. So we set off for downtown and stopped at the huge costume store. Well, not that huge, but it had fantastic costumes in it. So cool. I found one, a framgirl, lol, going back to my roots, sorta. haha. Anywho, I purchased it and Emily and I left the store to go eat at The Dailt Planet. The others were there getting a table since I was taking a while in the costume store. So we ate and it was very yummy. For desert we went down to Church Street which wasn't far away at all. They got crepes from the crepe man and then I wanted a fudge brownie sundae so we hit up Ben & Jerry's for me. And oh my, it was heaven. So good. mmm! We trekked back up the hill, ack so cold and said bye to Erin and the rest came to our room and we changed into our costumes for that party. We got soo excited. But Jess ended up not going so we walked her back to her dorm and Nick, finally, was able to go and met up with us. We walked to the party and stayed for a bit, but by the time we got there it was already winding down. Darn. So we left say after 30ish minutes and walked Emily back to the room. And then today it has been nothing but rainy. Such an ugly day. I didn't do much today, because of the weather. I slept in late and just checked up on the happenings of the internet and took a shower. Had to resend my pictures to Ike, and had many many issues with my phone and I couldn't reach him, I missed his call, etc. I ended up taking a nap for about an hour. And then I went downtown with Emily. We went to Borders because she wanted to get a few books. So that was good and I got the American Photo magazine. Yay! I think I'll look at that after this blog. And then I ordered some food to go at Ken's Pizza. A lasagna. We went back up the hill, in the rain, and with my hot lasagna and garlic bread. And finally!! made it back to the room and I inhaled the food. It was pretty much amazing. Yes, it was. And so then I watched an episode of Desperate Housewives online, but the 2nd one I was watching kept messing up, so I gave up on it. 9:59PM
October 27, 2006
Both the Office and Grey's were reruns. That was quite disappointing. So we just watched several episdoes of the 2nd season of the Office. That was dandy. Then I came back and gave Emily her birthday present. So today I woke up and had Geog. We finished the movie and then went to Econ. Afterwards we stopped at my room and I got eyedrops and then Nick and I went to his place as he gathered his computer and things. Then we went to the Marche to eat and were graced by Kornbread. And that will make no sense to you, but that's okay! I came back and did something. Hm. I did go to my web design class and that was just grand. Came back and now we are going to celebrate Emily's birthday! First we'll eat and then go find some costume place and then maybe go to some party or something, I don't know for sure. But we're going with several girls. Shall be much fun. 5:55PM
October 26, 2006
Well, I did get to sleep earlier last night and that was great. I went to BSAD and the professor pointed me out and I got to do something special since I installed the presenter program first. woohoo. Then I got some coffee and it was free. Hehehe. Yes. Finallygot my 10th one. lol. Then I went to the Atrium with Emily and got a yummy lunch. Then had English and I had directed the free prompt today. I put an object in a box and they got to shake it up and guess and write about whatever came to mind. Seemed like a hit, so I was pretty pleased. Then that class was over and I began laundry! Always exciting. I'm serious. And I did 3 loads today, the 3rd was towels. Oooo. And I checked the mail, nothing for me. *sigh* and did work. A lot of reading for BSAD. And now I'm about to head over to Nick's to watch Grey's Anatomy. And guess what, no rain today!! It was pretty much the best thing ever. lol. 7:30PM
October 25, 2006
Back to Geog today and we watched another film today on Jamaice and Deft, was interesting. We got out a little early and I timed myself to Econ. It takes me 5 minutes, totally felt like it was faster then that. Oh well. I had Econ and then went immediately over to Ira to see this Bernie Sanders Rock the Vote thing. But, he wasn't there. I went to Billings where the political stuff was last night. Not there. I saw a sign that said outside of Cook. Went there and didn't see them. Saw a flyer for outside the bookstore, and finally found him! lol and just in time. He did a speach and I got it. Yay. And then went back to my place and did work. I got lunch and hen went to my one on one advising meeting. It was pretty good. Sounds like I'm on the right track. Which is always good news. Then I did more work but had to go to my last class of the day. It's a long walk, and especially when it's raining and it's cold. Which it was. Had class. It was fine and then came back and it was back to homework. I went with Emily and some other girls from the dorm nextdoor to the Marche for dinner. They left and I visited Nick before I had to go back to my room to get my camera. I did just that and made my way over to Billings and waited to take shots for the Governor's debate. The people recognized me from last night so didn't have any issues. Yay. And then it was time. There was this other girl with me, but she kept getting close to my spot. I wasn't moving. You can't pull that crap on me. I did take another nap, but I of course came to my senses for the closing remarks and got a shot of the handshake. Pics look good today, from both events. Just finished going through them. And now I think I'm going to try to go to sleep early tonight. I was in bed by 11:30 last night, but still took me a while to actually got to sleep. Trying to do even better tonight! No rain tomorrow in the forecast. I'm very excited. 10:45PM
October 24, 2006
I had a busy day today. I woke up for BSAD and went to that class. It was fine and afterwards I stopped at the Cyber Cafe to get some coffee and some blueberry bread, aka muffin like loaf. Then I came back and did some homework but then went to English where we played Boulder Dash. Never heard of that before, but it was very interesting. Then I came back and washed my bed. Yay, been meaning to since Sunday. I guess that's not too bad. I hate washing it, so I do it every 4 weeks and Sunday was the 4 week mark. I just hate making it again up on the loft. Easier this time, but still annoying. Then once I finished I went over for a group registering meeting for classes next spring. That lasted almost an hour and I got some sheets on classes, or what I need to take, etc. Then I grabbed some hot chocolate and finished my homework. Oh, and I went over to Ike's place to talk about my pictures and the possibility of them being featured in Vermont Quaterly. That was good. I came back and then began to figure out what to do for classes. I came up with my list and looked up when they are available, days and times. Then I mapped it on the schedule and once again the PE's have such strange times that I can't fit them in anywhere. Crap. But I'll see what happens when reigstering day happens, the 17th of Nov. Crazy to be doing that already! And so Emily and I got dinner at Cook and ate back here. Then I went to Billings to take pictures for the House of Representatives debate for Vermont. I got there early and waited and then was shown where to be. And I took pics in the beginning and at the end. In between I took a nap lol. I didn't disturb anyone, because I wasn't near anyone. I was put upstairs. But I got the shots I needed, not a problem. Then I came back and that is it. 10:14PM
October 23, 2006
Went to Geog and that was fine. And it looks like exams will be starting up again pretty soon for me. Next week actually. Midterm set 2, for 3 of my classes. I feel more comfortable this go around. Which makes sense. Then it was raining. Again. :( And so I went to Econ as quick as I could. I've gotten so good at getting there quickly. We had class and then it ended. As usual. Then Nick and I went to his place and went through some spring classes and the possibilities with that. Then we grabbed some food at the Marche and he went to his meeting. But he was a week early, lol. So he came back here and stayed before he had to go to math. He read the Borat article in Entertainment Weekly aloud. Want to see that movie badly. Then when he left I did some stuff and then went to my web design class. That was lovely and walked back, in the rain. Oh the rain! I need a rain jacket. I really really do. Then I went back to more work and finished in no time. Emily and I went to eat at 6:30 and then I went to my Cynic meeting. It was good, never too useful for us photographers to be there. But Ike couldn't be there so we were given assignments by Chase. So now I've got a two-nighter assignment, Tues and Wed. Of the political people running here. I'm not sure who though. Oh and I've got the Shankar picture in the paper, but alas, no speed dating. I guess I'm not that surprised. No article so no pic. So then I came back here but when over to see Nick. We watched the first season of the Office. He had never seen it, and it was simply amazing lol. Love that show. Then walked me back over and I wanted a sprite from the lounge, but someone closed the doors and I don't want to walk in on anything, so I shall b e sprite-less tonight. I don't know, just had the urge to have it. 11:59PM
October 22, 2006
(later) Well let's see. Hm. It keeps raining and will keep raining a lot in the next couple of days. And like the highest in temp it's going to get is 40. So as of Friday night, and continuing on out, I've broken out one of my new jackets we bought up here. And it's warm, what a concept!! lol. And so anyway, I did English and wrote back on a few emails and had lunch and then got ready and went to the library and did this training session with Ike. I was the first one there for like 5 minutes and I arrived on time. But finally Ike showed up and then it was just us and then finally 3 other guys showed up and a girl came in late. He covered everything I already knew though. We finished at 6:45 and one guy left, so the 5 of us remaining piled into Ike's car and we went to Flatbread. Mmm it was good. Ike and I split a pizza, very good. Oh man. Yum. And we all had a nice dinner. It was good. Then we got back into the car and he dropped us off at our dorms. I came back here and finished up my source page on my BSAD website and now I'm all done with that. I'm pretty proud of it and I am happy I used HTML instead of Publisher. Mine stands apart from the rest. 9:59PM
--Last night was so much fun! I guess I have a large recap to do, so here we go: So it ended up only snowing for like an hour Friday night and then it continued to rain. I didn't get any pics, oh well. I'll have plenty of chances in the future lol. So! I had to trek downtown to Flynn in the rain. About 25 minutes later, I arrived pretty much soaked. I went inside and got the permission to go in the theater. I was only able to stay for 30 minutes because I had to make my way back up, in the rain, to Living and Learning for speed dating. I did get back at 9 and I went to the bathroom and dried my hair under he hand drying vent, lol. That's right. And it worked. Then I went to the fireplace lounge and met up with Nick and Alison, I don't know her but he does. We sat around and talked with these other girls near us: Sarah and a few others. They were cool. Well round 1 went and I took some pictures. They took an hour so we just sat around. And then round 2. I took the majority of my pictures then. Some people were uncomfortable but oh well. When it was all done the three of us went back to Nick's and we hung out til 12 and Nick walked Alison back and then he got word that I could get back home by Jay driving. So we did that. Now for Saturday!: I woke up a bit after 11 and got ready. I put on some business clothes, borrowed a shirt from Emily and hung my green sheet from the ceiling with tape. Then I took pictures of myself in front of it. This was all for my BSAD class where we have to make a webpage. I then made a fabulous animation of my favorite pictures: a thinking pose, a laughing pose, a pointing pose, a straight on pose, and finally a thumbs up pose. haha. It's great. I love it. Then I edited the pictures from last night and Nick came over. When I was done we walked downtown because I was on a mission to buy something. I won't say yet, but will on Friday, lol. Don't worry about it. And so I found what I was looking for and we were hungry so we decided to eat at McDonalds since we both haven't had in forever! I haven't had a fast food meal (chain) since I think I left Louisiana. Yeah. And it was so good. Oh my yes. Then we came back up to the campus and went on a Lost marathon. During the course of the night we watched maybe ... 7 episodes, lol. For real. And Jay would join us and it was great. After midnight we hoped into Jay's car and went downtown to pick up some delicious pizza and ice cream. Came back and watched the stupid MTV shows. Then I think we watched maybe some more Lost. We watched so much I can't keep track. And so since it was now past 2 I just crashed there. Woke up today and went to Marchizzle and grabbed some coffee and blueberry bread. I came back here and now I'm about to take a showe. Later today I get to go do a long bonding session with the Cynic photographers. Should be good. We are doing this training session in the library and then we're going to go eat downtown at Flatbread. Should be exciting. 12:43PM
October 20, 2006
It's snowing! This big rain front deal came through and then it dropped in temperature and now it's snowing. In other news, I had Geog and we watched a movie. Then rushed to Econ and that was class was pretty empty, but that's alright. Then Nick and I went to eat lunch at Cook. That was good and then we hung out in my room. Then he had to go to a meeting and I began some homework, but got tired and so I took a nap. Then woke up and went to my web design class. He had his baby there with him. She behaved so well and she is just gorgeous! so cute. And yes we had normal class, wasn't a problem at all! Then brr was it wet and cold when I was walking back, somewhere in the 40s. And then in a span of 1-2 hours it dropped to low 30s and now the rain is snow! Tonight I get to go to Flynn and take pictures at the Anoushka Shankar performance. Then I book it back up to Living & Learning and take pictures of the event: Speed Dating. Woohoo! And take pictures of snow! 7:03PM
October 19, 2006
Alright, let's see here. Went to BSAD and registered when to have my meetings with the advisor for classes next semester. Class was good, I got to explain something which was fine. Then I began to work on my website for BSAD! Yep, another website, this time a bit freer. Or, more free. lol. Anyway, I did that but I first got lunch at the Atrium and it was delicious! Having all the menus online is a wonderful thing. So I ate for the most part and did a little work. Then I had English and we took a field trip to Flemming Musuem and had to do some work there. When that was class was over and I did 2 loads of laundry and worked on the webpage from about 2 - 8. Yeah. Long time. I guess it looks fine. I did grab dinner near the end there with Emily. Then a bit after 8 I went over to Nick's and we watched the end of the Office and all of Grey's Anatomy and then more tv, like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. It's raining tonight. I got a package today too! Had my yearbook in it and that's very exciting! Looks pretty good too. 11:59PM
October 18, 2006
Had no problem waking up today. And that is good. I set my cell phone as well. Just in case. I went to Geog and we watched a movie. At the end I grabbed my map quiz, 10/10, that's right. Then went to Econ and had that class. Then I came back here and dropped off my things. I went to the Atrium for lunch and it was delicious. I did homework and then went to my final class of the day, web design aka CS aka WWW. It was nice. Then I came back here and finished that piece of homework. I got an email from Vermont Quarterly, the magazine that is sent out to Alumni and they really loved my pictures in the Cynic they want to see more and possibly use them there. I can't believe it. I am shocked. And amazed. I did more work and later grabbed some food at Cook. I then watched Lost on the internet, along with Desperate Housewives, but they thing kept freezing and it was annoying. It kept freezing for Emily too. So we'd scream at the computer at the same time, since it happened always at the same time. haha. 11:22PM
October 17, 2006
I overslept today. Uh oh! Nah. Not as bad as you think. Instead of waking up at 7:50, I woke up at 8:30. I have class at 9:30 and like to leave for class at 9:10. So, I had 40 minutes, or if need be, up to an hour. So I just got ready quicky and was out the door at 9:12. Pretty good! So now back on track, I went to BSAD. It was good. I'm doing well in there. Got a 9/10 on a quiz we got back and we just took another, and that seemed really good. Then I got coffee and that was amazing. I totally went like 4-5 days without. I think. It was good. And then I did some homework and later went to English. That class felt pretty long and some were falling asleep. Two actually. And there's only like 17-19 people in there too. So not the right class to pick lol. Then it was raining when I got out. Hey, what's going on? I didn't think it was suppose to rain today. Oh well. Then I checked the mail and then I got some lunch. Mmmm pasta. Then I did more work. A lot actually. Up until dinner time I worked. Got like 95% of my CS website assignment done. So that's really good. Due Thursday. Then Emily and I went to dinner at Cook and ate with two of her friends who live in the dorm next to us. Had a good time. Then we went back and I made my over, in the rain, to Nick's. I looked sketchy with my blue shirt, green jacket, and then big black jacket over all that. And I was wearing my Yankee visor and I looked like a man, and sketchy. lol. People left me alone. That, and it was like 8. lol. Anyway, so we three (Jay too) watched an episode of Lost, season 1 episode 1. It was sweet. They hadn't seen it before. Then after some hours I found myself back in my dorm. And now since I apparently opersleep, I shall be going to bed now. Goodnight all. 11:59PM
October 16, 2006
Today was very good. Mostly due to the fact that my picture was printed on the front page and it is just beautiful. So let's see. I had Geog as usual and despite the fact that I didn't fall asleep until nearly 2 am, I was actually more awake then usual in that class. Like really away. So then I made it over to Econ and drew many pretty graphs. Then I got lunch at Cook and ran into Meghan and Alison so I had lunch with them. It was nice. We caught up and are to definitely hang out this weekend. So I hope it goes down. And then I stopped by the room to drop off my stuff and then visited Nick before he had class. We along with Jay watched some Laguna Beach episodes from seasons 1. Oh lolololol at that show. I came back here and called the parents to talk about my yearbook that has arrived at my high school. And they later picked it up and that is very exciting! Then I went to my CS class and that was good. I walked back to my dorm and did my work and then at 6:10 Emily and I went to eat at Harris Millis. I had two large slices of baked ham tonight for dinner. Oh my, it was delicious!! I just love what they prepare there sometimes. Like the ham. So good. Mmm. Then we went back to central for our own meetings. When I walked in and grabbed the paper, Ike called me over and thanked me again for my awesome pictures. And then some other editors thanked me too. I felt really good. And then I took a look at the page. I nearly cried. It looked amazing. They put 3 of my pictures in there from the candlelight vigil and they are in color. Amazing. I was told the picture has the potential to win awards in an upcoming event. Oh. I am so proud. Wow. I can't believe how good it looks. And Emily is actually in the picture! She made it what it is. Adds human emotion. I love it. I'm going to grab many copies of this one. And then the meeting was over and I'm suppose to take pictures this Friday at Speed Dating. Oh yeah!! Too cool. Then I did some things and Emily came back and we talked about the pics and then later I went over to see Nick and we watched The Yes Men. It was good! Very interesting too. Funny. And then listened to music and watched some Colbert Report since I hadn't seen it yet. But I knew of the show since a lot of internet people like it. And that's it! 11:59PM
October 15, 2006
So let's see, last night: I went with Emily to Living & Learning to visit her friends. The four of us made waffles and they were delicious. Then we watched Better Off Dead and that was pretty interesting. Strange. Then we just hung out and it was good. Nice people. Around 1 I was falling asleep so we walked back. Slept in til noon. Got a call from Chase this morning, Editor of the Cynic and they loved my pictures of the candlelight vigil. So! He wanted me to email him the original of this one picture so they can blow it up and use in the front page!!! Oh my goodness. How exciting is that!! I am very pleased. Ike had emailed me yesterday saying what a kick ass job I did. I'm very proud. Then I did some work and later had lunch with Nick. We watched some movies, Gold Digger and Animal House. Good stuff, well, mostly with Animal House. Gold Digger was just ... nuts. Then we got dinner and waited for the rest of the suite to join us to watch a movie Greg was presenting. I should just join the suite lol. So I sat through the meeting and the movie Shadow of a Vampire was shown. Very good. Very different and it was just good. Everyone liked it. Then after a while I came back here. And that's it for today! I can't wait to see the paper tomorrow night!! 11:02PM
October 14, 2006
Let's see. Sorry I missed a day. I had Geog and that was dandy. Then went to Econ and had the same experience. Then I went with Nick back to his dorm to watch some more Ali G. It's our thing, to hang out for like 2 hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But he can't do Wednesday's anymore because he has to work then. That's alright. During the middle of this, we got some lunch and mm it was good. Then mom called, but my battery was dying. So when I got back I called her. I then went to my WWW class and that day we were suppose to cover our website picks and talk about them in front of class. Normally I'd be deathly afraid of this. And felt for sure I was going to be picked. Well a number was called, some guy behind me. He wasn't ready so he picked this adult woman taking the class, but she didn't have to do it for whatever reason. I'm not sure why. But then he picked me. Ack! So I went down in front of everyone and did it! And I actually wasn't that nervous! I could actually be getting over this whole nervous thing, talking in front of a class. So I did it and did fine and then someone else went. Then class was over and mom called me and told me that the UVM girl was found. It's too bad she had to die. So at 6:30 we were suppose to go to this candlelight vigil. And Ike called and I was suppose to take pictures. Thought that might happen. So we went with the dorm and I took over 400 pictures in a span on an hour. I got Emily to help me out, and hers look great. So it's going to be this 2-3 page spread in the Cynic, which is exciting. Then Emily and I came back, nearly frozen. And we met up with Nick and ate at Harris Millis. Yummy filling food. Yay. Then we walked Emily back and I hung out with Nick. We watched a DVD my dad sent me. Because I got a fabulous package filled with goodies, and then a letter from my mom, a bank statement, and then the Wall Street Journal. Very exciting! So we watched 3 episdoes of the Office and 3 episodes of the Amazing Race. Then today I got dressed and got some lunch with Emily and now I'm going through the pictures from last night. Oh, I was suppose to go to this Drag Dance thing last night, but it was canceled. So I'll just have to go to that another time apparently. 4:32PM
October 12, 2006
Hm let's see. I went to BSAD. We did this group project at the end. Kind of dreaded it, but it wasn't that bad. Then I did laundry as soon as I got back to the dorm. Then got coffee and came back and waited for the laundry switch. I did the switch and waited for the time to run out. I took my stuff out and I went to this English conference, about my big paper. She really liked what I wrote. It's about Katrina, but she liked it a lot. So that's exciting! And then I came back and did my BSAD and English homework. Then I went over to see Nick. We watched some Ali G and then got dinner before Grey's Anatomy with a lot of other people. Then we went away into his room and watched a little of Let It Be and then it cleared out and we watched some Futurama. It was rainy today. Very ugly day. But I love that when it rains, it barely rains at all. If that makes sense. It's just a light rain. Nothing intense like at home. 11:59PM
October 11, 2006
Classes were good this morning. Afterwards I went with Nick to turn in a few things for his new job. Then we chilled for a bit and got some lunch at the Marche. Like on Monday, Andrew joined us, his friend. He's cool. Then he went his way and I went mine and checked the mail. I picked up 4 Wall Street Journals. Oh my. A lot. lol. Then I did some work. Then had class at 3:30, CS. He let us leave 10 minutes early and I walked back with Adam. Hadn't seen him around in a while. Then I did more work. Eventually got dinner at Cook and did some reading. Then I walked with Emily to the Marche as she grabbed some dinner. We came back and she began to get her dressing correctly on her salad. And so she was shaking it and some of it flew out onto her desk. It was absolutely hilarious. Oh man. So great. Made my night completely. 9:19PM

Tuesday, therefore BSAD and English day. BSAD was good, learned some more nifty tricks in there. Then I did my Geog homework in between that and English. I went to English and that was good. We broke up into groups of 3-4 and went over each others papers and wrote some helpful things on them. I got some good reviews on my Katrina work and that make me very happy. Then I came back and then went to get lunch when kids were back in class. Which means it's less busy! Hello! lol. And then I went hard to work. On BSAD and finished. On English, and finished quickly. Then did some reading for my CS class. Then I grabbed some dinner, came back to eat. Got a knock on our door. Hm? Oh, it was an RA from another dorm saying Emily could go over to watch Gilmore Girls with them later. And Ike was there too! Surprise! lol. Both were like hey! He's the photo editor. I knew he was an RA, but never thought he would be out my door. And I was gathering things because I was going to take pictures for him. So I went off to Ira Allen to watch Dragapella. Key part, drag. It was actually rather good. Raunchy and fun. lol. So I set up my tripod on the side and probably pissed the people off next to me. Sorry, it's for the paper! And I took 720 pictures. No joke. I never thought I'd take that much. I thought I had 300-400. Not 720! So then I hiked it back in the cold weather and now I'm trying to go through them and pick the best. 10:59PM

So Emily and I had a huge scare today and these past few days. Our, well mine, plant, Jimmy, the coffee plant, hasn't been looking too well. His leaves were all droopy and sad. But I watered him and now, at night, he's looking a little better. So we are relieved now. Scary. Anyway, so I had Geog. I love that class, but sometimes it's just too warm in there and it makes me tired. It's annoying. Oh, and I got the extra 2 points on the exam. So yay, now an 87. Then I called my mom to have her mail my dance vest to me from last year. I might just wear my hip hop costume for Halloween. I have everything else from it, but the vest. Then I had Econ. Did some learning. lol. Then I went to L&L with Nick and we watched an episode from Da Ali G Show. Hilarious. He mentioned in last night and I hadn't seen it, but only familiar with it being amazing. And it was indeed. Then we got lunch at the Marche and I walked back with him as he went to math. I got the mail / picked up my newspapers. I then called my mom to talk. Then I went to CS and that was fine. Then I called them again. lol. Just called a lot today because I had to keep asking mom questions on her dealings with Katrina. And then I went to eat at Cook. Then ate and went to he Cynic meeting. I was assigned two assignments. Imagine that. lol. I'm to take pictures of drag things this week. Should be exciting lol. Then I finished my papers and they are just awesome and now Emily has put me in an Oasis mood. I love them. 9:56PM
October 8, 2006
Woke up at 9 today to be ready for 10:30 in order to go to breakfast at Harris Millis with Emily and Erin, but! We canceled, but that was okay because I ate two cupcakes and ended up going to this Cynic meeting thing. Eric Lipton was here to talk to us, as he went to UVM. It was okay, but he broke this meeting down into thirds, and the first thrid took an hour and 40 minutes, and I had stuff to do so I left at the break. Didn't want to, but I had to go elsewhere. So I got come coffee at Cyber Cafe and then did some homework. Then I went to eat at the Marche with Emily, Camilla, and Mariel. Then I left them and visited Nick. We began to watch Memento. But the suite next door was going to watch MASH so we went over and watched it with them. Then we went back to his room and chilled with his roommate Jay. Funny. And then I came back and ate some snacks and listened to Emily. 11:59PM
October 7, 2006
As I type this, I'm about to die because I ate too much. oo. Okay. I woke up this morning at 9 and got ready and took the bus to UMall. I ate breakfast inside and then went to the grocery next door. I didn't want to go all the way to Wal-Mart. Then I sat and waited for the bus. It finally came and then when it hit the bus stop road, it made a detour and when I finally got off, I was so far away from where I needed to be. And I had to trek uphill! back to my dorm. It was terrible. Was very upset. I made it back, ran into Emily and I went with her to take some pictures and then met up with her friend Erin and we walked to the spot to tie dye. I watched and took pictures and grabbed a free shirt and a pompom. Love those colors, green and yellow/gold. Our school colors. I'm just use to blue and white from Runnels lol. So then we walked back and I took some pictures. Then Emily and I rested. When we were all rested Emily and I walked downtown to Church Street to find something to eat. But she got something from this stand and I got Starbucks lol. Then we shopped for sweaters, but we weren't so lucky. Not a good price or just didn't fit right. I did get 1 pair of jeans however, I realized my pants are going to be really short when I'm in boots. So then we walked back and I was quite tired. And then she had to go out to eat with a friend and their family. Awkward. And so I ordered some pizza and ate way too much. But oh my, was it good. I had 3/4s of a medium pizza and half the pack of cheesy bread. I'm going to explode any minute. But yes, seeing all the families was sad. Emily and I were sad. 9:18PM
October 6, 2006
Got my Geog exam back today. I got an 85. Thought I did better than that. But apparently, I could potentially have an 87 because something might be wrong. So I'll go check that out on Monday. Then I went to Econ and actually got there early. Had class and then went to the Marche with Nick. We ate first and then I picked up my gift. I got a call from them this morning because something was there for me. I had no idea what to expect, was just hoping it wouldn't be something huge and embarrassing or something. But it wasn't! I got a dozen cupcakes and they are delicious. So then we went to his place and we watched an episode of Deadwood that he had on DVD. Then he had to go to math and I went back. On the way back I ran into Meghan and Maria and we talked for a bit. Oh and I saw Maria and Alison in the Marche and that was good to see them again. Need to hang out again. So then I called my mom to thank her and then went to my CS class. That was good. Then I came back and just waited around for Emily to come back. I did some Geog because I'm cool. Then Emily and I went to dinner at Harris Millis and that was so good. Then we stopped by a friends dorm and went with her to the chapel to see this improv thing. It was pretty funny. Some lame parts, but I did get a ping pong ball. lol. And now some girls might be staying with us tonight. That or in he lounge. 11:20PM
October 5, 2006
I woke up and when I stepped outside to go to BSAD, I nearly froze. It was mid to high 40s today, well then. But barely got above 50 as a high. I love it! Felt amazing. So BSAD was good. Then I got some coffee at the Cyber Cafe and did some BSAD work. Then went to English and that class was fine as well. Afterwards I rushed back to my dorm, because you know what was awaiting for me? Laundry!!! Five loads of it. And I did it all. I completely emptied my laundry bag. Oh, I am soo proud of this. I had pants, and then darks, and then whites, and red, and finally towels. Oh. Accomplishment. And did more work, but that was good. Emily did her thing, so I ended up getting some dinner at Cook. And it was good. These places have such good pudding. Emily and I are obsessed. I nearly bought some, but resisted. Only barely though. I so want some right now though. So then I talked to my mom and basically she said something will arrive tomorrow, and I think it is them. It is Homecoming/Parents/Alumni weekend afterwall. If they don't show up, I will be gravely disappointed. haha. Only semi joking. Semi. And so at 8:30 I walked to Nick's and we watched Grey's Anatomy and it was sweet! And then some Whose Line is it Anyway and then Futurama. Then walked me back and now I'm chillin with Emily. 11:59PM
October 4, 2006
Got up a little early to make sure I knew enough for my map quiz. Felt ready so went to class. And did wonderfully. But it was soo warm in that class today and it was putting me to sleep. Not good! But I made it through. Then I went to Econ and did that business. Then Maria shouted hello as we were walking back to my dorm. I always see her at least once a week on the path lol. Eventually I had to hurry and get some lunch. I went to Cook, came back, and ate in 15 minutes. That's quite a feat, I'll let you know. Then I made it from my dorm to FlynnSpace in 15 mintues. Another feat. And I was confused and lost inside, but called Tom and met up with him. He did an interview for the Cynic and I took pictures of it. Lighting was poor and I'm not too satisfied with the pictures. Next time I'll bring my tripod. Then we had some time before they'd start rehearsing so we went to Muddy Waters and he got something to drink. Then we still had some time so we went to Pure Pop. It's this underground music store type of deal. So cool. Must go back there someday, and with money and more time. Then we went back and they set up the set. Which took a while, but was very interesting. And then they ran through a scene of True West. Was awesome and I got some great shots. Really proud of those. Then we walked back, and just before it was about to pour. But it didn't end up pouring, although the weather was the most threatening I've ever seen. So apparently this guy Tom lives in the dorm next to me and we have Econ together. I thought he looked familiar. Nice guy. So we went our separate ways and I did some homework. Then Emily came back and we went to get dinner at Harris Millis, but not before stopping at the UVM Rescue place because they asked her to turn off the oven. lol. Anyway, it was raining and we were soaked by the time we got to dinner. Ate. Yummy. Then we walked back. Still raining and then I did more homework and now I'm going through my pictures. About to mail them in and then I'll go. 11:59PM
October 3, 2006
Cold this morning but it sure warmed up. High 40s to 70s and now back in the 60s. Went to BSAD. Got our exams back. Got an 87, yay. I'll take it. Then I got some coffee at Cyber Cafe and did some reading before my English class. Got a sucker in there. Nummy. Good class today. Maybe it was the candy, lol. No. Then I got some lunch and went to the dorm. Did some BSAD and that was pretty easy. Then at 5:30 I met up with Nick to go to a dinner and a movie thing. It was an Italian film, and so Italian dishes. It was good. Meaghan, and two of her friends were near us too. Then I went back with him and then left after a while. As he went to a concert and now I'm having some sweets. Like Coke. And M&Ms, Snickers, and some Starburst. Yay for halloween candy. lol. And now I'm trying to decide what to do. Either continue eating or read and eat at the same time. So tough for a college student. 11:01PM
October 2, 2006
Back to classes. Had Geog. Was really hoping to get that exam back, but not the case. We watched a short PBS movie though. Then went to Econ and it was fine. Then Nick and I chilled in my room until he had math. Then I got lunch at Cook. It was yummy. Then I had my CS class. The comptuer projector aspect of it all, wasn't working so we were able to leave class like 15 minutes early. Then I called Grant and well, we're done. And that's all I have to say about that here. Then Emily went to her meeting and I went to the Cynic meeting. We ended up having to change rooms which was alright, just delayed it. So we had the meeting and I had my play picture in there which was exciting. Maybe a little distorted, but that's okay. It's there. Then I met up with Emily and her friend Meghan and we went to eat at the Marche. I got cake and water. Because I was still very full from my lunch. The guy gave me so much! Then we came back and I'm going to do some geography reading. 9:52PM
October 1, 2006
Wow! October! Can't believe it's that already. So let's see, oh wow, that's right I blogged early yesterday. So I did get the mail and got nothing. So sad. Then I went back for a moment but ended up meeting Nick for some lunch at the Marche. We ate back in his room and watched some Viva La Bam. Which was quite quite funny, even thought I've seen a lot of it already. We were going through his roommates season DVDs. Then much later we met up wtih Meaghan and her friend and we four went to watch Pirates of the C, number 2. It's bad quality, but still had some fun. Then we all went back to Meaghan's room to watch tv and ordered some pizza. Then SNL came on with Dane Cook. That was okay. And then I came back to my room a little after 1. Went to sleep much later and woke up at noon today. haha yes. Felt great. I got dressed and then went to the Cyber Cafe to get some coffee. Came back and began my Geog homework. Worked on it for quite a while since I had a lot of reading and notes to take. Oh, and the growing tree that Emily gave me for my brithday, well we set that up and grew it. Still going actually! It's pretty sick. lol. And we took pictures, and named it Shiloh lol. Then we got dinner and I saw Derek so he came over to sit and chat for a few minutes. oh lol at him. We left and came back. Then I finished my Geog homework and now I'm just going to do some reading in hopefully both BSAD and Eng. To get ahead. 7:55PM
