Won't You Be My Neighbor?

For some unknown reason I just started thinking about 'ol Mr. Rogers.. I used to watch his show a lot.. I'm not real sure why, but I did. Every time I see someone wearing a red cardigan sweater it takes me way back. There is one thing that always confused me though.. Why did he always take his shoes off and put sneakers on? I will never understand. I've read many articles written about Fred Rogers and he is a very interesting man that has done a lot for PBS. Do the research, its great stuff! :)

Oh yes, let's blog.

Tuesday I conveniently became re-motivated to do some serious work on this multimodal project. Let's hope this lasts till I get it all done! It should be fun and interesting to see how everyone's websites turn out. Good luck to you all!

Blog of Randomness

I decided to write another blog just for the simple fact I'll be able to cross it off my list of things to do. So this blog is going to consist of 10 random weird facts about myself..

1. I don't like my finger nails and toe nails to be painted different colors, especially if i am going to be wearing flip flops or something were they can be seen at the same time.

2. My ring finger on my left hand is longer than my ring finger on my right hand.

3. Last year I only averaged 5 hours of sleep per week and I functioned fine. 

4. My favorite veggie is lima beans.

5. I can't use a bath towel more than once before washing it and using it again.

6. My room here at school is always cleaner than my room at home. 

7. I like to sit in the dark.

8. I hate wearing sweats in public.

9. When I eat a meal I can only eat one kind of food at a time before moving on to the next.

10. I always have some kind of shoe one until I go to bed.

Too Much To Do

This week is so busy. I have too much to do for one week. It's really sad because I thought I was caught up, but then got slammed with everything at once. Ugh. I made the decision to deactivate my facebook, twitter, and stumble upon accounts so that I can not get distracted. It really amazes me how much time I actually spend on these sites. It makes me angry.. Oh well, problem is now solved! Yay for being anti-social for awhile!

BIG RED and BAD HAIR

Somehow I forgot Big Red gum is so good. As an avid gum chewer, I would buy packs and packs and packs of Big Red allll the time. It was literally the only gum I would chew. I switched brands when 5 gum came out and started chewing that on a regular bases. Yesterday while spending my dinner money, I randomly picked up a pack of Big Red. I have been chewing it non-stop ever since.

When I was little I would sleep with gum in my mouth and my parents would yell at me all the time for it. They told me that it was going to fall out of my mouth and get in my hair. I had never had this happen before so I continued with with gum in my mouth. Welp, one night the inevitable happened and everything my parents said would happen did. I knew they would get mad if they saw gum in my hair so I got the smart idea to cut it out myself. Needless to say, I butchered it. My parents were going to take my brother and I out for dinner last night, but because I cut my hair they wouldn't let me go out and my mom would/couldn't fix my hair to teach me a lesson.. Don't worry, I DEFINITELY got the message. Haha

This is not me, but the hair looks pretty much like mine did.. only better if that tells you anything..

Anyway, go Big red! I love it!

This Research Paper...

...Will be the death of me. I've been spending a lot of time on it and I feel like I know a lot about my topic, but my thoughts are just having trouble coming out on paper. I want to do a good job so I keep revising what I have written instead of getting my thoughts down and saving the revising till the end. My friends and family always tell me that I do things the hard way and now I'm being to see what they are saying. If I never have to write a paper again, I couldn't say that I'd be sad. Every time I write a paper I learn some new ways to procrastinate... Here are a few things I have done recently...

-Apply for jobs (I applied for 3 today)

-Do laundry (I have done 2 loads today)

-Write a blog (As you can see I'm doing this now)

-Start on a paper for another class (I all the headings, my name and date on the paper..)

-Check email to see if professor has replied (Still checking..)

-Do some research on what to get Mom for Mother's Day (I still don't have a clue)

-Check what's playing on BSU movie channel (Not that I'd have time to watch a movie anyway)

Well, at least my procrastination techniques are somewhat productive... That's always a plus anyway... In any case, I wish you all happy writing/procrastinating! :)

Fridayyyyyy

Today is a great day and nothing, I mean NOTHING can get me down! I get done with class at noon and will be working on homework and studying for an exam so I can't enjoy the rest of my weekend and relax a little. HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! :)

PS- GOOOOOO CUBBIES!

Busy Busy Busy

This week I wanted to stay on top of blogging and not wait till the last minute.. Well, I think this is the third time I've sat down to blog... third time is a charm. I've been so distracted this week I feel like I can't get anything done. Blogging this week has just been an annoyance for me. Every time I went to write something I got frustrated because I either couldn't think of anything to write or had so much other stuff to do I couldn't focus on it. When it snowed on Tuesday all I could think about is not wanting to look anyone's blog that day because I didn't want to have to read about the weather 20 times. I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. I was just not feelin it. But the weekend is right around the corner, I keep telling myself that it'll be nice and relaxing, but after making my homework list for next week, being able to relax doesn't look too promising. I'm def going to make the best of it though! I have a movie night to go to on Friday for my psych class, even though I have to write a paper about it, being able to watch a movie will be nice. Also, Saturday I am getting extra credit to go watch the University Singers preform. That should be entertaining as well. Maybe it won't be as bad as I think.. :)

March Madness

Welp, if there is one thing anyone knows about me it is that I highly dislike this time of year because I highly dislike the so-called game of basketball. My family on the other hand, are all big basketball fans so I ended up watching the Butler v Florida game. I have to say it was pretty intense... I still don't like basketball though...

Eventful Weekend

This weekend I spent some much needed time home. A lot happened this weekend so I'm glad I got to be home for it instead of just receiving my mom's play-by-play texts like a usually get. 

The main reason I went home this weekend is because I had a job interview on Friday. My parents took the day off to come down after my class got out at noon to pick me up which was nice. We were almost back to my town when my parents stopped by this random house to look at a little ranger these people had for sale. They looked it over, gave it a test drive and bought it on the spot.. talk about impulsive buyers.. anyway, I got home with enough time to change my clothes and leave for the interview. The interview went pretty well, I am now waiting for a call back to see if I get a second interview.

As you can all imagine, the rest of the weekend pretty much involved around the new truck my parents bought. I thought my little brother was going to pee his pants with excitement. He is all about having something to mechanical to work on. We decided we were going to clean up the ranger my brother has been driving and try to sell it since we obviously no longer need it. My dad and brother went to town to pick up some parts and got lucky because in the process of getting some new tires for the ranger we had just bought, the guys who own the store wanted to come look at the old one! They came out to our house, signed some paperwork and off they went with the old truck. I'm sure my dad and brother will be occupied with the new vehicle for awhile now!

I also had some good quality my family and my best friend this weekend. I'm getting my life in organized and in order and boy oh boy does it feel good! Overall the weekend was a success and it makes me want summer even more. I hope everyone had a good weekend!

One More Won't Hurt

I felt the need to blog an extra time this week just to let everyone know that it is a miracle that I got all my blogs done before Sunday. And to let everyone know that technology sucks. I had six and a half pages of my research paper written Friday night and when I went to finish up Saturday night my paper was gone. I don't know if I closed out of it without saving or what happened so I ended up only having a little over a page done when I submitted it Saturday night. It was so disappointing. BUT I did learn a valuable lesson.. ALWAYS save your documents and don't wait till the last minute to put them in dropbox. Ughhh. Hope everyone one had a good weekend!

I LOVE SUN!

What more can I say.. If I could, I would marry it so I could see it every day! It's so nice out I just want to stay outside all day, but unfortunately, I still have to write this dang paper.. It is being such a party-pooper right now.. Almost makes me want to take a turn to negative town.. BUT I WON'T! I guess I'm just gonna have to power through it so I can reunite with the sun and its awesomeness! :)

Cake.. In A Mug??

Yummyyy :)

I'm staying at a friends apartment tonight and we decided we wanted something sweet and didn't want to make an entire cake so we found a recipe online for making an individual cake in a mug. I believe we put them in the microwave too long, but they still turned out pretty good to our surprise! It's amazing the things you learn while in college..

Nailssss

I don't think I've ever painted my nails so much in my life.. Over break my nail color changed 5 times. Then yesterday I got nervous and bit all my nails off so they aren't looking so hot right now.. Haha. Hope everyone had a great break!

Break Is Winding Down.. Unfortunately..

Soo.. I went and saw the movie I am Number Four. IT'S GREATTTTT! Definitely recommend it if you have a chance to go see it. Been having a great time with my bestie since I've been home and I'm gonna be very sad when I have to go back to Muncie.. :(

Hope everyone is having a good ending to a wonderful break!

And it's .... only Thursday

I can't believe all the people who get to leave today for spring break. I'm rather jealous that they either don't have classes Friday, their Friday classes got canceled, or they are confident enough with their grades to skip their classes. Man o man would that be nice. I think I'm going to try to schedule my fall semester class for Tuesdays and Thursdays so that I can go home and work Friday through Monday. Ugh. I just wish this semester would hurry up and end.. Well, maybe not the whole semester, just this week. One more day! That's what's keeping me going right now! :)

Where is Spring Break??

This week is starting off soooooooo slow. I've been stressing out about the millions of assignment I have due this week. Five papers is quite a bit to have to deal with on top of all the smaller assignment I have. I just want to actually be able to get some sleep sometime in the near future.. I guess that's what my Spring Break is going to consist of.. and I am gonna LOVE every minute of it! :) On a positive note, I woke up this morning after only having two hours of sleep and am in a fabulous mood! I'm not going to let anyone or anything bring me down today, not even those damn papers! I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

TWO MORE DAYS :)

PS-- Take proper precautions and don't let this be you come next week....

The Sickness: Day Four

Soo, I'm still sick. I just wish I could get over whatever this is so I can get all of my assignments done and leave Friday for spring break where I can curl up on my couch at home and sleep for as long as I want to. It always feel better to be home when you're sick. I bought nothing but orange juice and tissues at the dinning hall for lunch today. Hopefully this box of tissues will last me longer than 24 hours. Hope you all had a good weekend! See everyone Thursday.

Good Week Gone Bad

This week started out great! Monday after classes I spent the entire rest of the day and night with my friend. She went to Florida last week and I didn't get to see her. Usually I spend the night at her apartment at least two days a week, if not more so it was kinda hard not being able to see her. We definitely had a lot to catch up on so I spent Tuesday and Wednesday with her too! 

Wednesday night is when things started going down hill. My friend and my current roommate go into an argument about the living situation next year. The three of us signed a lease on a three bedroom three bathroom apartment probably a month and a half ago. My current roommate has a friend that ended up not being able to live where she planned to next year so my roommate called the apartment complex and asked to be moved to a four bedroom four bathroom apartment. This would have been fine except there were only four bedroom two bathrooms left. 

This is when the argument began. I was up for half the night trying to mediate conversation between the two and nothing ever got solved. After I woke up the next morning, I have a stuffy nose which has now turned into a sinus infection. On top of all that, I had a test to take yesterday and today and have one over the weekend and two on Monday. That is definitely a good way to ruin a good week.  

 <--- I feel as if I need to invest in a box of these..

Back to Reality

This weekend was a blast, just how I was expecting it to be! It was nice to get off campus and out of Muncie for the weekend even though I didn't go very far. Indy is awesome to visit, but I'm glad I get to come back to Ball State. I guess the city life just isn't for me. The hotel my family and I stayed in was really cool and it was nice to get to relax a little and spend time with some of our good family friends who also stayed a few rooms down from us. My older brother even got to come from Purdue to stay with us for the weekend. This may just be the best weekend of 2011 so far!
