What happened last week...

I finally got my license! Go me! 

While watching Veronica Mars, I finally decided that I will declare my undying love for Piz. If only for that dance that he did. I am so happy we got out jackass-Logan back, if only for a scene.

I ran into Trish at the CoHo while getting dinner. Some rather interesting topics of conversation came up. Laughing while trying to eat are never a good combo. I really should learn my lesson.

I yet again reaffirmed how much of a bio geek I am. And, rediscovered my disapppointment when people don't get the nerdy bio jokes. I mean, really now people!

I spent a lot of time with my family this weekend. We went to Denios, had a movie night, and watched football together. It probably would have been very Norman Rockwell were it not for the actual components of my family. I guess this is the new Norman Rockwell.

This week's song recs are:

The Masterplan by Oasis
Juice by GMS by GMS (yes it's actually part of the name)
The Way I Live by Simian
SIn by Android Lust
Twist by Goldfrapp
Icraus by Amen Birdmen

Sunday was kind of a family day. We didn't go out since the last race of the season was on. I got to hear dad gloat the rest of the day. hehehe. We went out to Olive Garden for dinner. It was a nice dinner, but the experience wasn't too great for me. Can someone tell me again why we have Lorena around still? I didn't get to finish my last glass of wine at dinner and still wanted some, so I sat down to watch football with my dad and have a nice glass of wine...or two. hehe. Needless to say I was out early, but had a really nice sleep. 

Monday and Tuesday were a educational blur for me. I stayed up ridiculously late on Monday to study for a midterm on Tuesday. Then I had to trudge through Tuesday because I had an assignment that needed to be done for that day. This procrastination is getting a little ridiculous. hehe. The caffeine was sustaining me that day.

Wednesday was nice because I got to go home earlier than usual. And I got to watch Adam Baldwin on Day Break. I'm so loving this show because of him.

Thanksgiving was a delightful and non-eventful day. There were some times during the day when I thought we'd be bogged down in family tension and fighting but we didn't.

What was not cool about Thanksgiving was all the dishes I had to clean the next day. Goodness! We use more silverware and plates on that day than any other day. And let me tell you, it takes a nice chunck of time to clean.

And here we are for today. I don't think we'll be doing anything today. Or we might. Someone might have told me something earlier this week and I just can't remember. 

Song recs for the week:
Dirty Harry by Gorillaz
Tank! by The Seatbelts (Luke Vibert Remix)
Still by Foo Fighters
The Falling Kind by Veda
High School by Jeremy Fisher
This Town's Religion by The Delays

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This week was kind of a blur for me. I had a couple exams and a debate to write which meant that I spent a lot of time awake. It got really bad that toward the end of the week I couldn't remember what day it was. I know what classes I go to that day, but not exactly what day of the week. Some rest was in order by the middle of the week. A lot of sleep! 

Now that I think about it, I don't even remember anything worth really mentioning. My brain was wiped by this weekend, I couldn't really remember the rest of the week except the highlights. hehe. 

It's Sunday morning and I don't want to teach today's Sunday school lesson. It's about "Good Touch, Bad Touch." How am I qualified to teach this? Did anyone ask if I really wanted to? No! *sigh* I'm just really dreading this. I passed the idea by one of the other teachers to combine classes. I hope she goes for it. I really do. I'll be floundering if she doesn't. hehehe.

The weeks song recs:

Tina Dico - Nobody's Man
Roisin Murphy - Ramalama (Bang Bang)
The Hives - B is for Brutus
10 Years - Wasteland
Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Shinedown - Fly From the Inside

Current Mood: annoyed

I have been both lazy and busy. When I'm not busy studying or commuting I'm too lazy to really do much, so I don't. Plus, my weekly post last week was hindered because LJ was being stinky. But now it's not. So time to get caught up...

My sister has been the cause of much stress in the past couple weeks. She goes out almost every night and cares nothing about the effect she has on everyone in this house. I've tried talking calmly, I've tried threats, I've tried yelling. I've accomplished nothing. She frustrates me.

I'm going to soon hit the bratty girl in my Sunday school class. I know it's not Christian, but you haven't met her! Patience is one of the things I thought I had a lot of, apparently I don't.

I saw a nice human version of pac man in the quad the other week. Someone had a cut out of pac man and other people were dressed as the ghosts. It made for entertaining lunch.

My hair has been causing me issues. I thought about growing it long because I wanted to go for a "look." I've since decided that look isn't me and it's getting cut. Now I just have to wait for it to grow out long enough to cut it.

I completely appreciate the universe when I find people that are dorks like I am. I've found two such people in my genetics and society class. 2 out of 4 teachers are dorky in their own right. I shouldn't have expected less considering they are science teachers. There probably needs to be a level of dorkiness for someone to fully appreciate the sciences. 

There was an entertaining discussion about wheeling around Buddy Christ in the MU to show people that the Catholic group on campus holds mass one day of the week. They weren't really serious, but just the thought makes me laugh.

I went out last weekend to a Baptismal party. It was entertaining enough in the beginning. You have to fully appreciate the awful dancing that was there and the craptastic music. But the novelty soon wore off and I was bored out of my mind the rest of the time. I was a losery loser basically sitting by myself at the end of the table. Fun times.

Late night phone calls from my friend, no matter how much I love him, are not fun. All I wanted to do was sleep and enjoy sleeping in the next day. Sadly, that was not to be. Very early morning/Late night phone calls kind of interrupt that attempt at sleep. ewww.

Now it is on to studying for the coming weeks midterms. Joy, I can't wait to start.

This week was filled with lots of studying. The first round of midterms started the Wednesday before and ended this past Tuesday. When I went into them I was scared that I didn't study enough. The late night cram sessions I dedicated to each test really wasn't enough. When I came out of them I was actually decently confident I didn't fail it with flying colors. Now, not so much. I just want to do well. That'll teach me to not procrastinate, especially at Davis.

Things I saw at Davis this week:
A "parade" cars going through campus in various primary colors of tissue paper. Along with the obligatory "questionable foliage" on the green car.
A guy with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack.
The croquet people back in the quad to play a game.
The frisbee people interrupting the croquet people's game. hehehe.

Lots of napping has been done this week in the quad, even more so than before, because I've been so tired from the study sessions. One day while I tried to nap some people decided it'd be a good day to start a small game of soccer near me. Thanks a lot there. Then right next to them some people decided to throw the frisbee back and forth. Even better. Oh! and then let's throw said frisbee over the girl that's trying to nap. I'm sure she doesn't mind. grrrr. There went my nap. I was so looking foward to it too.

The people at the Tex-Mex counter are highly entertaining. They have this slightly-off-kilter-i-need-more-sleep-but-don't-have-time thing going. When I got to the MU they were listening to Michael Jackson songs. While I waited for my food I was amused by various people singing to the songs and one guy even doing the thriller dance in between making burritos. hehehe.

Venus, our dog, had her puppies this week. They are so adorable! *squee*

I had this thought about growing out my hair longer, maybe to my shoulders. Then that idea was squashed. I like short hair, so short hair it will be! I just have to wait the month for the hair cut chick to come back so she can cut my hair. ugh.

And now I finish with the week's song recs:
The Knack - My Sharona
Beck - Girl
The Outline - Shotgun
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
Econoline Crush - Sparkle and Shine

Current Music: Brand New - Good to Know That if I....

This is what has been happening to me this past week...

I've noticed people leering at me when they drive by as I sit at the bus stop in West Sac. Kind of gives me the whillies and want to pull out the mace. What does make it entertaining though are those few people who cheese and then wave hi. hehehe. I get a kick out of it and it kind of makes me forget about the leering people. 

The weather this week has been all over the place. There are days when I think that I should be putting away the flip flops and digging out my sneakers because my feet get too cold. Then there are days where I try to dig out my tank top I thought was safe to put hidden at the bottom of the dresser because it's a bit warm. It's all over the place. Those warm days make for good nap times in the quad in between classes. Those are always nice in the middle of a study session.

I don't think I'll stop getting a kick out of the people on campus. In the quad on one of the days I had to stay late I was witness to a game of red light, green light. Or at least it looked like red light, green light, I don't think that's what she was saying. The people behind the counter that helped me when I got food that day were highly entertaining also. One guy said, "I said no! I said good day sir!" That's so something I'd say. hehehehe. That was after I heard him chanting, "Scotty doesn't know!" while listening to the song of the same name. hehehe. I kept trying not to giggle, but they were being too much.

Ugly Betty is quickly becoming my favorite show. Not only is the lead male very rawr, but the actors are fantabulous! The keep me laughing the entire episode. I still love the novela they have playing in the background! Love it!

Friday was music in the quad. Some band from Orange County came all the way to our little ol' school to play. They were actually pretty decent. What made them better though was they covered a song by the Foo Fighters. How could I not like them after that one?!

Today I caught up on all the tele viewing this morning that I miss out on during the week. After I watch NCIS I get reminded why I love that show. This season is turning out to be one of the best seasons. The humor is great. I also went out to wash the cars. Dad appreciated that I washed his car but did not appreciate the tank top I was wearing. hehehe. He said I need to wear a turtleneck if I'm going to wash the cars. Riiiigggghhht. Good one. And now I sit around bumming because I don't want to do anything. It's nice.

Here's the song recs for this week:

Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast) by Lostprophets
Brilliant Sky by Saybia
Starts With One by Shiny Toy Guns
X Amount of Words by Blue October
Infra-red by Placebo
Every Time We Live Together by Hooverphonic

I don't really have anything of much importance to say....I could talk about how truckers wave at me while I wait for the bus....or that some people on campus were playing croquet....or some other random crap, but I'm not. 
I just really wanted an excuse to use my new shiny icons. hehehehe. I deleted a bunch of the Ouran ones and added some other ones. They're from tele shows with real actors in them. *gasp* Mostly this was inspired by my renewed fascination with Firefly, hence the Jayne main icon. Also, The Office really rocks right now, so they had to have their fair share too.
And, right now, I'm procrastinating because I don't want to do reasearch for my project. ewwww.

This week was a little more enjoyable and had a few more stories than last week did, and that's a good thing. 

My highlight of the week came while I strolled out onto the quad after attending mass. I had decided to attend the mass that the Catholic group on campus offered during the week. I'm trying to find way to renew my faith, get me a little more into it. Maybe if I'm around others who believe the same thing I can make it happen. I think what makes this even even more interesting is that it happened right after that. Coming out of the building I noticed the recognizable signs that the Jesus freaks carry. This time there were two of them. Oh, this was going to be interesting. I find their form of preaching rather wrong, but it makes for an interesting show. Some of the things they were saying were pure humor! It wasn't supposed to be funny, but it was. That made the day a good one. hehehehe.

I met someone I can bond with in my Society and Genetics class. That was such a breath of fresh air. In a unending pool of dimwitted freshmen I finally get someone who's had science classes and that thinks the same way I do. It was fate. I love her!

Wednesday was long and not too pleasant. Classes from 11 to 8 and for some reason I found myself running all over campus. I don't even remember why anymore, it must have been mildly important. All I know is that day I just wanted to curl up and go to sleep.

Coming out of class on Thursday I noticed Tracy from my bio classes last semester. *squee* I love her too. She's awesome. We exchanged phone numbers and such so we could keep in touch. It's always nice to have someone familiar on campus.

Just when I thought I was going to have that small moment to propel me into having a nice day overall I come home. That was all I needed to do. Lupe had left some time in the middle of the morning and hadn't come back. Right when I walk through the door I get asked if I can take the kids to soccer practice. I take them but I have to wait there because no one else is there when we arrive. *sigh* She did come home some time that night, but who knows when because I wasn't up. I felt like I was talking to my teen daughter the next morning. I gave her a lecture about being responsible and how what she's doing is not acceptable behavior. Why me? huh?

I already have midterms next week. ewwww. I just started. The following week is more tests. ugh. I should get studying on that one. hehehe. 

This week was soundtrack music rec week. Yay! I love soundtracks. Lots of good music (sometimes) all on one album. Here are the songs:

Filter - One
Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug
Yerba Buena - Guarija (I love U 2 Much)
UB40 - Every Breath You Take
Tom G Mac - Cry Little Sister
The Servant - Cells
Massive Attack - I Against I
Mirwais - Disco Science
Filter & The Crystal Method - (Can't You) Trip Like I Do
Drowning Pool feat. Rob Zombie - Man Without Fear

What I did this week....
I love spending time in the quad in between my classes. The little pleasures of life. I get such a kick out of watching people play frisbee. It's so college cliche and reminds me of PCU (it's a movie).

It was my first week of full classes which meant staying there really late two days out of the week. One day had classes cancelled because the hall where my classes are was flooded. Lovely. I didn't have to hang around for a ridiculously long time, but did anyway. The highlight of that day though was seeing the hunky football players coming back from their practice, rawr.

I'm loving my genetics and society class and my ecology class is boring me to tears. My other two classes are enjoyable enough and land somewhere in between.

I went out with Christina on Thursday because this is her last week in town. We spend a nice dinner with her mom just talking. I'm going to miss her a lot, but she's already making plans for me to visit her in Oregon. This just means that I have to harass her over the phone now.

Saturday was a day of doing nothing. I found some fanfics and spent the entire day reading them. Nice I know. Today was a little more productive. I went to church, washed the cars, and watched some NASCAR. Kurt did so well today. Even though I only got to see the last 40 laps it was exciting. I suppose that's how it always is at Talledega.

Now the song recs for the week:

4am by Our Lady Peace
You're Not Here by Akira Yamaoka
Empty by Metric
Places For Breathing by Revis
Veronica Fever by The Raveonettes
