Gastritis

I have it, and it sucks :/

For the past four days, I've been eating nothing but Cheerios and Premium crackers and drinking nothing but water and ginger ale.

The doctor on campus told me that it usually takes 1-2 weeks to go away with medicine.

That really upset me because Christmas is next week. If I can't eat normal food on that day, I'll be so sad :(

So here I am, waiting it out with my meds and crackers...and finals. Le sigh.

At least i'll be done with this semester on Monday!

First Final Is DONE!

Just finished my first final!

Four more to go!

Eight more days until I can go home!

Yaaaaaaaay!

It's late and rainy and I wanted to write!

(via wordpress)

It's currently 2 a.m.

I'm reclined in bed as it is pouring outside.

The reason why this post is being done so late is because this week has been a wee bit busy.

Between studying and preparing for speeches, i've had no time to care about anything else than getting all of my crap done by Thursday night!

I just felt like writing.

The weather lately has been craaazy.

The week of Thanksgiving was beauuutiful! Now it's cold, windy, and rainy. Bleh. I've had no desire to wear anything but my glasses and sweat pants.

I guess the weather shares a mutual feeling of hate towards me because as i was walking home tonight, the wind flipped my umbrella inside out.

I tried to push my umbrella towards the wind so it could be flipped the right way, but the wind was TOO strong, making it impossible for me to even move my umbrella from its "frightened" position above my head.

Well, i have to be up at 9ish to prepare for my speech.

Good night, moon

The 1st of Decemberrr

Dec1.org

Happy December 1st! I'm so glad it's December because now i only have 2 weeks.

2 weeks

That's how much longer i have to be here.

In 2 weeks, the fall semester will over and i'll be going home for a month for winter break!

I literally cannot wait, and for these reasons!:

* I'll have my car again!

* No classes!

* No loudasfuckannoying neighbors!

* No(t as many) stink bugs!

* Home-cooked meals <3

* No Asian room mate. (I like her and all, but she doesn't clean her hair out of the shower drain, doesn't replace the toilet paper when she finished the roll, and always does this weird throat clearing noise that i wouldn't mind being without for a month!)

* My own bed<33

* I won't have to wear flip flops in my own shower!

* And lastly and most importantly, my family and my boyfriend and home town friends <3

Ahh, winter break is so close i have almost taste it :)

I just have to get through a speech and four final exams. Bring it on!

Rainbow cupcake pictures!

The batter!

I come from a family of psychics

I learned something very interesting about my family this weekend.

Friday night my mom's niece and nephew came over.

Somewhere in the conversation we stumbled upon the topic of psychics.

Last winter, my mom went to a psychic, so she began telling her niece and nephew about her experience. The conversation was light until my mom's nephew said that when he goes to psychics, they ask him what he is doing there.

This is where i began getting confused. I asked him what he meant by that.

"You come from a family of psychics...you come from a family that has a gift."

My eyebrows rose.

He went on to tell me that his mother (my aunt) and his three sisters are all psychic in some way. He can sense energies; his sister, the one that was there, can connect with spirits; and my aunt can foresee future events.

I'm not sure how i've gone 19 years without knowing "the gift" runs in my blood, but i'm glad i know now!

Xmas Listin'

If you go into any store, you're sure to greeted by candy canes and holiday music at the door and find an aisle filled with Christmas decorations.

Christmas is overlapping Thanksgiving and making it known by being on the television, on the radio and in the stores, and it's only the beginning of November.

Poor Thanksgiving never stood a chance against the overachieving Christmas.

I'm not complaining though! I'm guilty of already having done some Christmas browsing and shopping. I've compiled a Christmas list for myself and others! I keep it in a Word document ;P

In other news, the band Fun. has a new song out that i cannot stop listening to! (A Fun. hoodie is on my Word Christmas list, tehe).

Enjoy this excellence!

Morning post

Le sigh, it's Monday. Most people hate Mondays.

I hate Mondays because i have a 9:25 class and when i wake up, i see my room mate all snuggled up in her bed knowing she doesn't have to get up until 12 if she wanted to.

Monday mornings are also very lonely for me. I guess it's because i'm the only one awake in the apartment. No one to talk to. It's not a good feeling :/

Luckily, the feeling only lasts until i sit down with my laptop to eat some breakfast. So here i am with my bagel with butter and a cup of orange juice, feeling better about the morning because i know i'm not the only one awake on the Internet.

Anyway, i had a good weekend. I went home to see my boyfriend and my family. Daylight savings occurred, extending my weekend by an hour ;)

When i got back to school yesterday around 4, my throat was beginning to hurt. I went to sleep around 11 because i was so exhausted and woke up this morning with a definite sore throat :/ Damn. It hurts to drink my juice!

Back at the beginning

Happy November 1st! It's a new month to do new things. How exciting!

I'm excited by the fact that there are only 6 more weeks of classes left!

On an unrelated and random note, I've been without my Facebook for two weeks, but the record ends there-at least for now.

I'll be going back on sometime tonight, not because I want to, but because my friends are begging for me to post some pictures I have on my camera :/

I could have gone much longer. I still might.

I plan on keeping my Facebook account activated, but I just won't use it unless I need to.

We'll see how that goes.

Happy Halloweeeeen

After thinking the past two days were Halloween for some reason, I can FINALLY say happy Halloween!

It doesn't really feel like Halloween to me. I guess it's because this year the holiday fell on a Monday, which also happened to be the day for my class registration for next semester.

So at 5:30 this morning, I was up and by 6 a.m., my friends and I were running across campus in the frosty air to get to a computer lab with good Internet connection to ensure that the registration process was done speedily.

All was said and done by 7:10 a.m. We got some food, witnessed a car accident (so scary!), and then headed back to the apartment where I took a half hour nap before heading off to class.

Needless to say, I'm pretty tired and, unfortunately, I'm not a good napper :/- napping isn't an easy thing for me to do.

So, I guess that's why this it is hard for me to believe that this regular Monday is Halloween. There is proof that today is Halloween, though, aside from the handful of people walking around campus wearing costumes...

Last night was mischief night and some "mischievous" individuals drew a penis through the ice on my friend's car window, ahah.

I'm not dressing up tonight, but my friends and I did dress up Friday night. We were the Single Ladies from the Beyonce video.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Snow in October?

I'm dreaming of white Halloween.

So, two days before Halloween, the East Coast gets hit with a wintry mix of rain, hail and snow. Some places got hit worse than others. Some places actually lost electricity.

The weather lately has been so unpredictable, with temperatures raising and dropping like a roller coaster. One week it's typical fall weather, like 60's, next it's freakin' 30 degrees!

Right now it's feeling more like Christmas than Halloween :/

Walmart has everything?

My friend and I went shopping around today looking for black leotards because for Halloween she, my other friend, and i are being the Single Ladies from the Beyonce video.

Well, we stop at Walmart upon her request. At this point, I'm thinking the chances of us finding a leotard are veeeeery slim. But, to my surprise, we find leotards for little girls. My friend is very thin and average height so there was a chance that an XL would fit.

She grabs one, tries it on, and whaddayaknow, it fits perfectly.

I got a leotard last winter from American Apparel for like $30.

The leotard my friend got from Walmart was $8.50 and covers a lot more skin...

Here's my leotard:

American apparel (clipped to polyvore.com)

Here's my friend's leotard:

I know that, being a college girl, I'm expected to like the one that shows the most skin, but I don't, haha. If i had known that there were leotard for $8 at Walmart, I would have skipped over the $30 leotard and saved some dollar billz!

Legos on shore!

So, I was reading the news this morning and found out that on Tuesday morning, a life-sized Lego man washed up onto the shore of Siesta Key Beach in Florida.

The Lego man is reportedly 8 feet tall and 100 lbs.

On the Lego man's green torso it says "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE" as you can see here:

Thank ya, abcnews.go.com

According to Abcnews, on the Lego man's back was the number 8 and the words "Ego Leonard."

Before I get into who Ego Leonard is, I'm going to tell you that this is not the first time a life-sized Lego man has washed up on a shore.

In 2007, a Lego man bearing the same message on his torso and name on his back was seen bobbing out in the water at Zandvoort Beach in the Netherlands before he put on shore.

In 2008, another huge Lego man washed onto the shore of Brighton Beach in England, also bearing the same message on his torso and name on his back.

It is understood that the name Ego Leonard is the alter ego of a Dutch artist.

Ego Leonard's paintings all feature the Lego figures with nice little messages, including "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE."

A strange message written by Ego Leonard introducing himself can be read here along with a few of his paintings if you scroll down. Kinda creepy.

All in all, I think these large Lego men are actually pretty interesting and a GREAT way to get your name out there, for sure. Mr. Leo, you are a smart guy, but your Lego obsession is a tad bit weird.

Officially a week!

Last Monday I decided to deactivate my Facebook. Yesterday at around 11 p.m. would have been my one week anniversary. I probably would have tweeted and blogged about it then instead of this morning but last night I was watching Hall Pass :P

So far I've noticed that without my Facebook, the days go by much slower. I guess that's because when you go on Facebook just to waste time, 5 minutes suddenly turn into an hour.

I still use Twitter but I don't think it's possible to waste time on that site..unless you really try to, i guess. But that would mean scrolling down through pages of pointless things (strangely, much like Facebook) such as those horoscope tweets, those dumb re-tweets and tweets from your friends who have absolutely no optimism in them, so every week is along the lines of "I hate today."

Hm, when you think about it, Twitter and Facebook are very similar. Oh well, Twitter > Facebook FO' LYFE.

We'll see how long I can go without my Facebook. With Halloween just around the corner, I know I'll be tempted to go back because everyone will be taking pictures and I know I'll wanna check out the ones I'll be tagged in. So sad to admit that -_-

Oh, Ri Ri

I feel like every once and a while, there is one artist who hits you again and again with brilliant single after brilliant single. Some examples of these artists are Britney Spears and Chris Brown.

It's like everything they touch turns into liquid gold that pour from my radio's speakers!

While those two artists are great, there is one chick who never fails to impress- Rihanna (It's funny because i said "hit after hit" and then mentioned Chris Brown....anyway...)

The Barbados hottie made her first appearance onto the music scene in 2005 with her single "Pon de Replay" and since then has become one of the best females artists out there. She literally has the key to music in the palm of her hand.

It's not only her music that continues to impress me, either. Her music videos are dope, sick, ill, bitchin, groovy; basically, her music videos are awesome! Especially the video to her latest single, "We Found Love." The song is catchy and the video just makes you excited and sad at same time. I'd expect nothing less than a rollercoaster of emotions after a Rihanna video.

ENJOY

Mondays in the toilet

Monday are not my day. I always have bad luck on Mondays, and not only because i have class at 9:25 a.m., but because it's the only day of the week when unfortunate things happen to me almost in a row.

For example, I can remember a few Mondays ago i woke up late for my class. I ran to bathroom and when i went to put my contacts on, it seemed as if the contact solution had been replaced by soapy water because my eyes were burning.
So i decide to just wear glasses for the morning. I make a toaster strudel for breakfast and burn my fingers so bad by touching it.
Somewhere between the soapy contacts and the toasted fingers i thought my 9:25 was at 9:45, so i show up 20 minutes late to class with blood shot eyes. FUN!


This morning, again i had a toaster strudel (sensing a pattern?), didn't burn myself, showed up to class on time, BUT when i got back to my apartment something bad happened.
I have a habit of taking my phone everywhere with me, including the bathroom.
I think you know where this is going. My phone fell into the toilet.

This isn't the first or even second time this has happened to me. It's the third.
The first two times were a result of me leaving my phone in my back pocket of my jeans causing it to slip out when i lower myself to do my bathroom thang...ahem.
Since then, i've made a mental note to take my phone out of my back pocket before doing any....bathroom..thangs...SO i havent lost a phone that way since.
This morning, however, was strange because i was holding my phone in my hand and as i went to flush my toilet, my phone decided to make a run for it and jump into the toilet.

Now, i mean it when i say that i NEVER drop my phone anywhere, except the toilet. Only in the toilet will i drop my phone.

Follow me to all your favorite places
Pass the blur of melting faces
Together we'll fly out of time, but we will return soon
The world will be just fine for a few hours
without the presence of me and you

A shitty place

So, i'm a sophomore in college.
My freshman year here was pretty great; i had a lot of good experiences:

*i got to be away from home at a comfortable distance
*my room mate was/still is great
*my floor mates turned into some of my best friends
*i met lots of different people
*i got punched in the face
*i danced in the rain in a hula skirt
*i got drunk in Philly
*i smoked a lot
*and i learned a lot!

This year, however, is proving to be far from great so far.
Because i'm a sophomore, i get to live in an apartment now, which is cool-ish because i now have a kitchen and a private bathroom.
Unfortunately, though, there are more cons than pros to this school year.



To save this from being an extremely long post, i will post the MAIN points of why this school year sucks:

*There are 3 of us living in a 4 people apartment, 2 being me and my room mate from last year.
*There were supposed to be 4 of us but a few weeks before we moved in one of the girls who was supposed to live with us told us that she wasn't going to be able to come back this semester.
*The 3rd person living with us is foreign exchange student from China. It is her second year in America. Language barrier and a stranger living with us.
*The walls here are paper thin and, not to be racist, the people living next to us are 4 loud black girls who LOVE to blast music and tv from 1-3am when my room mate and i have early classes.
*The walk from my apartment to class is farrrrrr. I'm so lazy :/
*Stink bugs everywhere.
*Fruit flies everywhere.
*Apartment is 50 ft away from the train tracks and there is a train that goes by once, sometimes twice, a night. This train doesn't go choo choo. It goes BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.




That's my rant about my shitty life in a shitty apartment surrounded by shitty people and shitty things.

Freeeeezing

Woke up for my 9:25 class thinking it was a chilly but bearable day that could be conquered with a long sleeved shirt. I was so wrong, and thankfully I didn't find out the hard way!
I checked the weather before leaving my apartment, saw that it was 49 degrees and grabbed my pea coat! It's finally pea coat weather, yay-ish!

In other news, my room mate and I have been squishing fruit flies to their death mid-air since yesterday. These little things must multiply so fast! They're everywhere!

We've covered the fruit- ya think that would have kept 'em away- but nope, they're still lingering, mostly in the cup of orange juice I left on the table this morning. Yuck.

49 degrees

I feel so alone in the morning :/

List of guy and girl crushes

GUYS CRUSHES:
* Michael Cera
* Jim Carrey
* Aaron Johnson
* Russell Brand


GIRL CRUSHES:
* Zooey Deschanel <3 (Lady boner)

Hungry, sleepy. Sleepy, hungry.

Just finished a bowl of Mac N Cheese.
Today has been a good day; i only had my 9:25 class. I was supposed to have my 3:15 class, but my professor cancelled class. According to her email, it was "due to illness." She's Spanish and has a super thick accent so i imagine her saying "dew to eelniss."
So, i've just been reading all day. Not pleasure reading, text book reading. Soo much reading.
If my textbooks were food, i'd be full, but they are not and i am still hungry.

Let's try this again!

Hello, Blogger! After all these years of being away from you, I am finally back!

My last blog on here was some kind of a diary. I'm not really sure where I'm going to go with this blog (probably won't keep up with it much because i'm going back to school soon) but we'll find out, won't we?
