This is what I do in class...

To make time go faster in my amazingly boring Mythology class I amuse myself by writing little poems and what not. Some of them turn out pretty funny, and this one in particular made one of my roommates laugh out loud, so I thought I would share it with you guys. I know I can always use a good laugh:)

Sittin' in my class

Feelin' pretty bored

Learnin' about the Gods

Hercules and more

Professor is a monotone

Seats are really close

The kid thats sittin' next to me

Is smellin' kind of gross

Heads are bobbing everywhere

People are asleep

I'm gettin' pretty annoyed

With all the phones that beep

Class is not yet over

But people are packin' up

Rustlin' papers all around

Man, this class just SUCKS!!

I know my Dad will be proud:) I get it from him.

And heres another one...

Down is up

And up is down

My whole world is flipped around

Left is right

And right is left

I failed PE, but passed my test?

Squares of five

Rectangles too

Less is more, and more is few

Black is white

And white is cruel

We sit on ground, but stand on stools

Friends are Foes

And smiles are frowns

My whole world is flipped around

Mooshy stuff...

I have the best Mom in the world.

I do.

For no particular reason.

She is just amazing.

On the verge of a mental breakdown...

The stress and work is piling up and I think I am going to go insane.

My classes are not based on a bunch of homework assignments, so homework is not my problem, it is the pressure to take state of the art, descriptive, notes and study them very carefully and remembering every last thing, so that I don't totally screw up the tests, which my whole grade is based upon. Yeah... no pressure. And now that I am almost off academic probation I am going to be needing to decide on major so that I can catch up and take the classes I need to take, BUT that is a really hard decision to make when I don't know what the hell I really want to do with night. I flip from one major to the other every other day, I just can't make up my mind. And the time of day that I always really worry about what I am going to do is right when I turn the lights off to go to bed, so then it takes me at least an hour or two to fall asleep, because I am sick to my stomach with anxiety. It is not so great. So, I try to listen to music to get my mind off of it, but that doesn't help, it just gives me one more thing to put through my brain while I am trying to calm down. It is a ridiculous cycle. I need help!!!

And this probably doesn't make much sense to anyone but me, but the heat here is making me even more stressed. I feel trapped inside my apartment when I am not on campus because it is way too hot to go outside. When I get to my car after walking from class I am drenched with sweat, it is disgusting. And I would LOVE to go on a run outside when I have nothing else to do, but NO, it is too freaking HOT!! I would probably have a heatstroke and die. I feel like I never do anything, because it is just too hot, TOO HOT! So, basically, I am lazy and fat. EW. 

Alaska sounds really nice right now. 

Really

Family...

I flew home to San Diego this weekend to spend time with my family and it was so much fun and so so so good to see them! My Mama and Dad were the only ones that knew I was coming home, so it was a surprise for Bentley and Taylor...and Gramma and Poppy:) We pretty much just hung out all weekend because I just wanted to spend time with them. We ate dinner at Seaport Village Saturday night, and during the day Taylor and I went to the movies and saw The Woman (everyone else was at Bent's soccer game in Temecula). On Sunday we all went to Bent's game then spent the rest of the day together at home. Then my last day, Monday, me and my Mom spent the whole day together, which was amazing, and went shopping and to lunch. It was so much fun, I wish I could just call her up whenever I felt like it and meet her for lunch. That would be so awesome. I flew back to Tucson last night. I am not too sad to leave SD because I know my family is coming to Tucson at the beginning of October so I will see them soon enough, but it is still always sad to say bye to your family, ya know?

XOXO

Exhaustion...

My exhaustion is finally catching up with me. It is so hard to wake up in the morning, and lately I have been feeling like I am getting sick. My head hurts and my throat hurts and I am just SO TIRED. I already wish I had a break from school. 

Taking a break...

Today is a weird day, and I don't know why. Don't you ever just wake up and feel... well, weird... like something is not right?? Maybe you don't, I don't know. But it sucks. ( I just realized that I used the word "don't" 4 times in one sentence, wow). 

I think part of it is that I am feeling really homesick today. I wish I could just drive home in an hour and spend the weekend with my family then drive an hour home, but unfortunately it takes a lot longer than an hour to get home, so I won't be going home any time soon. But good news... I got a package in the mail today!!! It was so exciting, I LOVE getting mail! It was from my Mama and it had all of my favorite things in it:) She is the best!!!

Anyways, I had a bbq with my lacrosse team today. It was so so so much fun to see all of my lax cats again!! They are my Tucson family, and are a big reason that it is bearable for me to be away from my real family for so long. They are my other sisters in a sense:) Some of the new freshman/recruits came to the bbq as well, so that was nice to see who will be joining us.

There is a football game tonight, actually right now, but I decided not to go because I am just too tired. And it is as hot as crap outside and I don't feel like standing outside for 3 hours. No fun! So, I am just chilling by myself at my apartment and watching movies. Very exciting.

XOXO

12:25 am...

This is the time in which my roommates and I were rudely awaken tonight. 

I guess our neighbors, the only ones we have yet to meet, decided to throw a raging party for the whole population of Mexico this lovely Thursday night, or you could say morning, and kind of forgot that they are not the only inhabitants of building 11. They were so loud that I could hear them over my music when it finally woke me up. So, me, Kristin, and Yael decided to check out what was going on, and actually our other neighbors across the hall were doing the same thing as us, and our hall was packed with people just blabbin away in spanish and music was blaring from the apartment, sooooo... the pleasant people we are, we told them to get the hell out of our building or go back inside because unlike them we have CLASS BRIGHT AND EARLY AND ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!!! They didn't really listen to us and we didn't really expect them too. They kind of migrated down towards the parking lot and guess what...THEY GOT REAL COMFY SITTING ON MY CAR!!! ON MY FREAKIN CAR!!! So, now I was really, really pissed off, I grabbed my keys, stormed down to where they were in my pajamas with barefeet, told them to get off my car, and moved it away from them. EW! I could not be more annoyed than I am right now! And NOW I can't sleep. JEEZE!!! UGH! And... now it will be almost impossible for me to wake up for class in the morning. Great. Hope your night was better than mine.

XOXO

24...

... days now, that I have been back in Tucson. It feels like a lot longer. Although this is only the end of my second week of classes I already feel like I have been going forever. So far classes aren't too bad. I actually love my American History class, and my music class is pretty good too. We pretty much just listen to different types of music and talk about the different aspects of it. This week I actually kind of learned how to read music; kind of... I am sure it is a lot more complicated than he made it out to be. I also have a class that confuses the crap out of me!! My Classical Mythology class is obviously a very complicated class, and it is no help that the professor is 500 years old and says "uh" after every 3 words. Needless to say, it makes it EXTREMELY hard to follow.

Fall Lacrosse practice doesn't start up again till october (official practice at least), so I have been doing my own work out routine; usually just running on the streets or track, or something at the rec. But, last night I went to my first spinning class and LOVED it, so I am going to try to go to that every week. It was super hard, but felt SO SO SO good afterwards!!!:)

So, other than school and working out I have not really been dong much. I read a lot, and I also write a lot. My two favorite things to do:) But nothing too exciting.

XOXO 

One more thing...

I vented to all of you about the whole Midnight Sun the other day, and I just wanted to add that I decided to read the first twelve chapter. They were absolutely amazing and I couldn't even tell that they were just a draft. Props to Stephenie Meyer. I know that she is really disappointed about the chapters being leaked but I hope she knows that we all are still DYING to read Midnight Sun and will wait as long as she needs to get back into the mind set to finish it. I know that is extremely nerdy for me to say, but I truly LOVE her writing and can't wait to read more!!! :)

Also, I am posting a picture of myself, my roommate Kristin, and my good friend Jessica at the football game friday. The sky looks BEAUTIFUL. Right before the storm at sunset. Enjoy.

XOXO

Unproductive...

I might just be the laziest person on Earth. Well, at least I feel like that. Ugh. I only had one class today and it was at 11 and I still found it nearly impossible to get out of bed for it. I guess that could be due to the fact that I was up late watching the premieres of all my show, and OF COURSE all my shows are on on the same night. And I have to say, I am a little disappointed in One Tree Hill. I still love the show of course, but the direction they are going with the plot it is not even believable anymore! AH! 

Anyways... so, my alarm first went off at 7 am and I continued to snooze it every 5 minutes until 9 am. Why I didn't just turn it off, I don't know... But during those tiny measures of time I managed to dream very detailed dreams, which was really weird, and when I finally got up at 9 I thought I was at home in San Diego (probably because I was dreaming about home). Needless to say, it was really freaky.

Sorry I don't have much for you today. Nothing very exciting has happened (which is probably a good thing).

XOXO
