We watched Colbert in my physics lecture yesterday.

It was Kelser heaven. My instructor thinks this guy looks weird, but People Magazine and I think he's hot.

P.S. I bought a big bag cookies today because I'm PMSing and Google has the Cookie Monster on it.

Duh Duh Duh Duh Na Na Na Na Na

Grown up, she just turned 16
Stuck in the moment
Dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is life that you wanted, right?
So turn off all the lights
She's dressed up just like a movie star
At all the parties they'll know who you are
Wouldn't it be great, to be fashionably late
So why don't you wait til you're sedated...

Don't it feel like somethin's not right in his kiss tonight?

Yeah what I'm sayin is do you, do you wanna lose it all
Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you wanna learn to fly?
Than you should pack it up and say good bye
Cause when the push comes to the shove
Its just a dance hall drug

Step in, and you can lock the door
The candles are lit, and the clothes on the floor
You can take a chance
On finding romance
Now you're holding hands
But he's got other plans
Tick-tock the clock is turning red
The room won't stop spinning and thoughts in your head
And it's too late
You feel like you're making a big mistake
You should've waited

Don't it feel like somethin's not right in his kiss tonight?

Yeah what I'm sayin is do you, do you wanna lose it all
Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you wanna learn to fly?
Than you should pack it up and say good bye
Cause when the push comes to the shove
Its just a dance hall drug

Just wait Love
Show 'em what you're made of

Don't it feel like somethin's not right in his kiss tonight?

Do you, do you wanna lose it all?
Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
Do you, do you wanna learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug...
Do you, do you wanna lose it all?
Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
Do you, do you wanna learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
Cause when the push comes to the shove
It's just a dance hall drug...

So I'm trying to catch a cat...

How unusual for me right? I know. Anyways, I fed it a hotdog. And then an eggroll. And now I am trying to lure it in with some tuna. But I think it is full. I feel bad for it. It hurt its paw. I wish it would come inside and be my kitty. But it is afraid. Or it just doesn't like tuna. But who doesn't like tuna? I got it to come inside with the hotdog. But then it ran away before I could close the door. It really loves hotdogs. I think I will call it Hotdog. I wish Hotdog was not such a fraidy-cat.

For Halloween I was the girl dancing like a ho,

but I was dressed like a boy. So my friend and I walked outside of this party and on this 30 degree incline street in Collegetown these kids were doing Hawaiian fire dances with fireballs on the ends of chains and batons. A firetruck comes up the street and the kids just stand on the sidewalk with their fireballs still blazing. The fireman acts like he is going to yell at us and get us in trouble, but he just tells them to stay away from the houses and he sits there to watch the show. They proceed to throw candy at us, say Happy Halloween, and drive away.

I love this place,

I love college.

I dislike arrogant people...

OK,so this might just be me, but gosh, Galitsky's e-mail about the growl seems totally off base. I'm half tempted to reply to him with a "you're a big jerk" email, but I wont. I mean come off it man, it's a small high school growl, they don't have the money to invest in particularly well done stuff. Especially when that money would be better spent on education, which happens to be the purpose of school. Last time I checked the growl doesn't improve test scores or get us anymore government fundage. Plus its not like SGA can just charge a billion dollars in dues, Hernando aint exactly full of rich kids. Yes, some times there are SNAFUS, but the small number of things I heard from students said that the growl was good. Yes, Galitsky may have been able to do it better, one of the many benefits of being a super nerd, we have all felt like that about our niches at some point, but you can't let that ruin your experience. Sometimes Galitsky just pisses me off with his, "I'm superior and everybody else sucks" attitude. I guess I just suck at dealing with uber type-A pessimists who feel the need to rub their excellence in others faces, seeing as how I am like the exact opposite of that.

Alright, well that was me dealing with my anger in a way that avoided offending Galitsky. Sorry you all had to hear it...

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!

In college...

1.) A C is not an F, and you find times when you are quite happy with a D.
(new college translation - a sat is a sat is a sat. it doesn't matter if there are ambiguous/possibly negative comments and/or question marks all over your paper. it's still a damn sat.)
2.) You may not be able to have pets bigger than like fish or amoebas, but the squirrels will be your best friends.
($100 fine if they find a cat in a cage under your bed during fall break)
3.) You can wear leggings, JUST leggings, all the time. No shorts, no dress, no skirt, you don't even need a long t-shirt, and it's totally legit. Be proad of your steadily growing freshman 15 ass; everyone else is.

4.) People actually like Daft Punk and aren't ashamed of it. Actually it's mostly frat boys that like Daft Punk, but I suppose that they are people too.

5.) You can say things that are complete nonsense to people that aren't in your major and your fellow classmates will totally get it. Engineering student examples: "It was like so small, like epsilon small" or "He was so the indefinite integral of e^xy" (write it down and stare at it for a minute BJ and you will get it, don't try and solve).

6.) Almost all nicknames end with an "ie" sound: MechE ("mechie" aka mechanical engineer), ChemE ("chemie" aka chemical engineer), Jammie (one who lives in the Just About Music "JAM" Program House), Hotelie (hotel school student)

7.) All the free food will be gone in 20 minutes. Be prepared to fight for the last slice of pizza.

8.) Males now do not find it necessary to bathe or do laundry. If you need to find someone who knows the score of a football game/how to change the oil in a car, just follow the smell of beer and sour clothes.

9.) It is absolutely necessary to master the "no I do not want your damn pamphlet" walk, lest you wish to litter the Earth with countless pieces of paper detailing clubs which you have no interest in e.g. Pre-Law Society of African American Males, or Hispanics against violence in Antarctica.

10.) You can stare at people all you like, and listen to their private conversations, and they will not stop what they are doing. College students have no shame.

11.) There will be kids that come to class daily with huge, yummy starbucks drinks because their mommies and daddies have way too much money. You will both hate and envy those kids for the rest of your days.

12.)You will meet people who plan to one day have jobs that will control the fate of the free world, you will also see these people totally drunk off their ass many a time in college and you will fear for the future of the free world.

13.)Every cool person really has seen Boondock Saints and Death Proof.

14.)People sleep anywhere, at anytime without discretion: In class, on benches, on couches, on the grass, on the bus, at dining hall tables, in chairs, on floors, on their friends, in the car, on the car, on picnic tables, and against the walls. Naps are also code for sex, as in, "uhhh, yeah we, uh took a nap..."

Please add to the list, but don't be lazy and just comment. Sign in and edit the post.

Bill Nye was here today

but I did not see him, thus I did not pee my pants.
So I feel like I just finished my first round of prelims and my second math one is next week. My ROTC physical training test is also next week, but I am going to pass because I passed the practice one last week by like 10 points. I am running 1.5 mile in 13:30 now which is still pretty bad, but much better than 16:00 like I was when I got here.
I learned today that they figure out how many calories are in something by burning it and seeing how much it heats up a fixed amount of water. You can also find the amount of calories a person burns by subtracting the caloric content of their poo from the caloric content of their food. I would hate to be the researcher whose job it is to burn shit.
I miss you guys, but I'm not so lonely now. My friend Alex (Death Cab kid) and I are so attached at the hip that we can practically read each others thoughts. He is still in love with his cheater girlfriend, but it's cool, it's kind of like having a gay boyfriend. Actually it's just like when I was with Derek but I was friends with Charlie and told him all my relationship problems, but this time I'm Charlie...strange. That's not to say that we are going to end up the same way. At least not anytime soon because I'm looking forward to my month-long winter break in Florida if you know what I mean ;)

CARL STRIKES AGAIN!

So my mom came and visited me this weekend because I had fall "break" which is really just a four day weekend and we went apartment shopping for next year (yes you have to do it this early its crazy I know). Anyway we were looking at a studio in a house that a professor owned in Collegetown and my mom had already been e-mailing him and set up an appointment. When we meet him he looks at us really weird and asks "where is your son?" to which my mom explained that she doesn't have a son and that she was looking for an apartment for me. So he procedes to show us around this FREAKING GORGEOUS apartment with sloping ceilings and hardwood floors and an amazing claw-foot tub and he keeps saying things like "all the neat people in the building are MEN" and "the MEN are such great tenants" etc.. with a really gay lisp. So we ignored all that and put down the downpayment to his annoyance. He really couldn't do anything about it at that point, I'm just glad that he probably thought my name was Carl from mom's e-mails and so he kept in touch until then! It's also great that even though the landlord is probably a creep he won't be interested in me. I never thought being mistaken for Carl would be such a good thing. That's fate right there sister.
