Stress Be Gone!
I am really glad to be done with ADP! I had to read our manifesto today, and that was kin of stressful, but now I feel relieved that it is over. Now the only thing that is stressing me out is my class schedule for next semester. The studio I wanted is already full and has a 8 person waitlist. I register tomorrow and I need to figure out an alternate class to take. Arrg...I wish I was a junior so I could get the classes I want!

A Load Off My Chest
I finally got my watercolor done! Horray! It has taken me so long, and I didn't expect it to turn out good, but I am actually very pleased with the way it looks. I had to do a series of four paintings. I picked ice cream as my theme. Not only did I paint the ice cream, but I incorporated collage in the background of the pieces. I used newspaper, tissue paper, and paper towel to give different effects and textures to my pieces. I was a little nervous about doing this, but I like how it turned out, and I think it will make my paintings unique. I just feel so relieved to finally have this big project completed.

Everything is Coming to a Close
It is kind of sad that everything is ending for the year. I just had my last CFC class, and I only have one more class left for most of the rest of my classes. Don't get me wrong: I am happy to be done, but it is starting to set in that I am about to leave Ann Arbor for 4 months. I also going to leave all of my friends and classmates, which will be really weird. I know it will hit me really hard a few days before I leave. Right now I just need to get through the last days of classes and final projects.

Yikes. Bikes.
Wow, I have been so busy this weekend that I have not had time to blog! I made Friday my fun day. I Had been working so hard all week that I needed a night to blow off some steam. My friends and I went to a foam party at Chi Psi. It was really fun because there were a lot of people there and there was also a live band. Saturday was a work day. I slept in and went to work at 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm. Then I showered, read a little bit for American Culture, and then went to the art school to work on my Festi-Fools puppet nd my watercolor project. Sunday was a happy day. I had to go to the art school at 1:30 to load our puppet in to the van. Then I grabbed some food and went to Main Street to put the puppet together. Festi-Fools started at 4:00 pm and lasted until 5:00 pm. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. All of the puppets turned out really cool. After the parade I then went tanning with Anna. Then we got Panchero's and Stucci's ice cream because it was so nice out. It made me really happy. Then I went to Stockwell to hang out with my friends for awhile before coming back to North Campus. I worked a little on my watercolor project last night before watching TV online and going to sleep. It was a good, but very busy weekend.

The Weekend Is Almost Here!
This week is the slowest week of my life. I feel like it should be Sunday by now. I am glad it is Thursday, and I can see the weekend in sight! However, even thought there will be some time for fun this weekend, I do have to do a lot of work. I worked n my watercolor for about 3 hours yesterday, but I need to do a lot more this weekend because it is due on Wednesday. Also, the Festi-Fools parade is this Sunday, so that will take up lot of my time. I just hope I can motivate myself to do work this weekend so I am not overwhelmed with work next week. Ugh, I am stressing already!

Sleep is Gooood
I didn't go to my American Culture lecture this morning because I needed to sleep. I actually just woke up. I am so happy with my decision to do that. I needed to catch up on my sleep so badly. I also feel like a little bit of my stress has gone away just from being able to sleep in. I decided that I am going to stay after tonight after watercolor and force myself to finish one of m pieces. It is the only way I can work without getting distracted. Hopefully it won't take me an extremely long time and hopefully it turns out alright. I want to be able to get some sleep tonight.

April Fool's Day
I can't believe it is already April. Ahh...but I don't even have time to think of April Fool's jokes because the ADP puppet is taking over my life! Last night I worked on it for 3 hours and today I worked on it for 2. I am getting so stressed about everything. I need to do 4 watercolor paintings for next wednesday and I haven't even started! Also I am stressing about my schedule for next semester. I am finding it extremely hard to find an elective to fit my schedule. I am so stressed that I am getting knots in my shoulders and back. I am in drastic need of a massage, but I doubt I could even relax and enjoy it.

Sometimes I Wish I Could Just Freeze TIme...
Today is the last day of March! Ahh..I can't believe it. Two more weeks of school! I honestly can't handle it. I am so incredibly busy right now with all my finals projects and the stupid puppet thing for ADP...I don't have time for it all!
Time for some watching of the Hills and then sleep.
OK...The End.

Another Roomie Rant
The time has come again for another complaint about my lovely room mate. She is so incredibly rude. I was sleeping, and apparently she thought it would be a good time to vacuum. Nice. So she woke me up, and as soon as I sat up she stopped. Cool. Then about 20 minutes later, right as I was drifting back to sleep she slammed the door. And it was definitely on purpose. Awesome. Then, her family came to pick her up and she brought them to the room-the WHOLE family. Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother. All in our room. While I was sleeping. The first thing her Mom did was say "shh", and then I hear my room mate say "No, Mom, I really don't care." Honestly? Come on now. That's just disrespectful. Then her brother says, "Wow. You gus need to vacuum," and my roomie responds, "Well I was going to vacuum, but SHE was sleeping." I was so angry. I honestly thought about getting out of bed and punching her in the face. But I managed to restrain myself and be the bigger person. But I am still angry. Okay, rant complete. I feel a little better now. Thanks for reading.

100% Better
Yesterday I was sooo sick. I could not even get out of bed. The only time i did venture from my bed was to throw up. Ew, gross I know. I slept for like 14 hour and then actually went to sleep early last night. But today I feel sooo much better. I am about to go to work, which I would not think possible yesterday. I am so glad that I am better today :-)

Stuff To Do
I have lots of stuff to do today before lecture. I need to go tanning, deposit my taxes check, buy a big paintbrush for watercolor, and get some food from Noodles and Company. Actually I don't NEED to do any of this, but I would really like to get that stuff done. Hopefully I can. But we have that opening of the Penny Stamps Auditorium. Hmm...maybe I can skip out.
teeheee...

So Frustrated
So I was very excited to hear that I would have no lecture or discussion for AMCULT today. We received e-mails telling us that they were both cancelled because of the GEO strike. Well, I didn't fall asleep until 6:00 am last night and I didn't wake up until 4:00 pm. I just went to check my e-mail and I had one from my professor and one from my GSI. They sent them out telling us that we had both lecture and discussion today. But I missed both of them. I am very worried because that is the second discussion I missed in a row! I hope it doesn't hurt my grade at all! It is so frustrating!

Borrrrrinnnngg
Today was a very boring, uneventful day. In ADp we started making our puppets for the festi-fool parade. Our group is making a puppet talking about the fast pace of our society. After ADP, I went to lunch in the cafeteria, and it was pretty good. I had a chicken caesar wrap and some french fries. Then I went to CFC and we talked to Maureen Connor about our projects. In our projects we must interview a staff member of the art school and do something to improve their working conditions. Today was an easy day. Now I need to read for American Culture and then go to work at 10:00.

STOP BEING SO LAZY
Wow. I am basically the biggest pile in the world. I honestly cannot get myself motivate to go my American Culture lecture ever on Mondays. And I can't even use the excuse that the class is early because it isn't: its at 11 am. And it is only an hour long. On the weekends I always screw up my sleep schedule so when Sunday night rolls around I can't sleep. Then when my alarm goes off on Monday morning I don't want to get up because I didn't fall asleep until 4 in the morning the night before. I need to stop being s lazy! I only have like 4 weeks to get through and then I will be done. Grrrr...

Sadly I am back in Ann Arbor and not looking forward to classes tomorrow. I felt like I wasn't even home at all. I was really only gone for a little more then 24 hours. Yesterday after getting picked up my Mom took me to my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lansing, El Azteco. I definitely stuffed my face full of chimichanga and chips and salsa, but it was so amazing. Then I went home and just chilled out and put some my old CD's from the 90's on my iTunes. Then I had to wake up at 10 am this morning to go to my Grandma's house. The Easter dinner was delicious. It was really nice to have a home cooked meal.
03.22.08
I am very excited because I get to go home tonight. I am working 1-5 pm and then leaving right after that. I will only be home a little while though because I will get home late and then we will go to my Grandam's house for Easter. I feel bad going home and not seeing any of my friends from high school, but I honestly don't have time to see them. I want to spend time with my family. I hate having to tell my friends that I can't hang out with them.

Yay for a Bummy Day!
I was so excited to hear that we didn't have TMP today when I checked my email yesterday. I just needed a day to relax after the stressful week I just had. I did have to wake up at 8:30 am this morning to turn my ADP paper in though, which kind of sucked. But after that I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 4:30 pm. It was some definitely needed sleep. Now I need to get some homework done because I am going home on Saturday so I can go to my Grandma's house for Easter on sunday. So basically I only have today to get my work done. I have been really good at being productive the last few days, so hopefully I can keep my streak going!

MON OEIL! (Yet Again)
My eye is definitely screwed up once again. And if anyone is keeping track this is the third time. The second time was my bad. I lost my perscription and stopped taking it before I was supposed to. Then I went to UHS and they gave me a stronger eye drop. I have been taking it like I was supposed to ever since. Yesterday after my nap I woke up and my eye was all red and gross again. I have no idea why it did this. I literally put eye drops in right before I took my nap. I really hope it goes away soon because it is super uncomfortable. Also I have really bad allergies. Maybe that has something to do with my eye infection. But hopefully this will be the last time it happens.

Roomie!, Why So Difficult!?!
I know I have many a rant about my room mate on this blog, but if you can bear with me I am going to rant some more. First of all, I would consider myself a very courteous person. I make sure to treat my room mate with respect. For example, when she is sleeping, I try to be as quiet as possible and keep as many lights off as possible. She is not exactly the same. Today I was sleeping and I was rudely awaken by her phone ringing and then further kept awake by her yelling on the phone while talking to her mom about pointless things such as the weather. Then she continued to be discourteous by turning on the one light that shines right into my eyes when I am in my bed. Not only did she do that, but then she decided to make oatmeal in the microwave. She had to heat it at least 3 times, letting the beeping sound go off each time. I honestly don't know whys she does the things she does. Either she doesn't know she is being disrespectful, or just doesn't care. Oh well, I only have to put up with her for about 4 more weeks and then the school year will be over and I will be back to my own room with no weird room mate to annoy me.

Busy as a Bee
Again, I don't have much time to write because I am busy busy busy. I was very proud of myself because yesterday I was very productive. I got 3 pages of my AMCULT paper typed and I got caught up on my watercolor. Now it is time for a nap and then more writing! Fun stuff!

I have 2 papers due this week:
1 in AMCULT about the nationalism expressed in Dorothea Lange's photos
ANDDDD 1 in ADP about the stopwatch and how society keeps moving faster and faster
Hope I can get them done!

DON'T MESS WITH ME
I am in a very bad mood right now. I got back to my room an hour ago and my room mate was on the phone. She is still on the phone now. Honestly, I am so annoyed. She is literally talking to her dog on the phone. Why? I have no idea. Maybe to just annoy me. I can't read when she is yelling in to the phone. Okay I am done ranting now. But if anyone else gets on my nerves today they better watch out. I am grumpy and ready to snap at anyone who pisses me off.

Freaky Friday
This morning I did not wake up to my alarm. I don't know if it didn't go off, or if I was just sleeping so soundly that I didn't hear it. I ended up waking up at 9:00 am and I looked at my alarm to see what had gone wrong, and I couldn't figure it out. It was set for the right time, 8:15 am (not pm) and it was turned on. It was kinda freaky. I somehow managed to get up, shower and even shave, get ready and be in TMP class by 9:30 am. I am proud of myself for that. It is probably the fastest I have ever gotten ready. But I still want to know what's wrong with my alarm clock. :-/

Stressin'
I am so tired today. I woke up this morning at 7:30 am to work on my Sociofuntional assignment for ADP. I was going to work on it last night after watercolor, but when I got back I was so tired I couldn't even function. I ended up going to bed at 11:00 pm, the earliest I have gone to sleep in a long time. I would have had a good night sleep, but halfway through the night I woke up for no reason. Then I kept thinking about all the stuff I have to do in the next week. I tried listening to music and watching TV, but the thoughts wouldn't stop. I think I am going to stay in tonight and try to get some homework done because I want to be able to sleep tonight and not be stressed. I have 2 five-page papers due next week: one for ADP, and one for AMCULT.

MON OEIL (NOT AGAIN!)
So I woke up this morning and couldn't open my right eye. Damn it. My eye infection is back! I went to UHS last wednesday and got eye drops to make the infection go away. I was supposed to take the drops four times a day for seven days. However, this weekend I had my eye drops in my jacket pocket, and they must have fallen out because I could not find them anywhere. So instead of using the drops for the seven days I was supposed to, I only used them for about four days. So now I have to go back to UHS and sit for three hours only to get the same perscription again. I am pissed about it. Stupid eye.
