( some more boredomCollapse )
So I think I've finally learned my lesson that wine should be enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours... not in 20 minutes. Vodka, on the other hand, doesn't seem to bother my tummy at all. Go figure.
So very excited about moving out of Laville. I love all my Laville people, but I can't stay here anymore. Now I get all excited about stemware and towels and sheets... none of which I need or need to think about buying.
Speaking of random things I want, people are wanting to know what I want for Christmas...
In other not-so-news... I am still very much confused when it comes to men. There should be more of them who like to dance; they don't even have to dance well... just dance. And make decisions... And I was listening to a pseudo-conversation between a couple of my friends. Some ("many") of the things the guy said just didn't make sense. Why don't you come right out and say what you mean? Now, I'm not saying that girls don't do it; I, for one, am a champion of convoluted communication. According to my mom, I never make any sense... But there seems to be a general opinion that guys don't communicate all that well.
This semester has been crazy. I've split myself up in so many areas... classics, art, horses, work. So I've decided that I need to focus on the things that are really important to me. And I need to graduate... eventually. And I need to be lookking at grad schools. Ick.
And I can't wait until my job is over. No more desk. No more, "I'm sorry. No one has turned in a such-and-such since I've been working." No more parents freaking out at 5:30am because they can't find their kid. No more parents who harass their children after finding out certain information. No more receiving looks of pity after hearing how late I have to work. No more sitting on my ass for minimum wage. 30 more minutes until my shift is over...
I suppose that's all for now. Good Luck on finals!
Current Mood:  chipper

04:45 am - I asked for it...
1. Squares - Yea, I can't really explain it either. I just think they're crazy-awesome. Mondrian, anyone?
2. Sleep - Especially during the wee hours in the morning, like those right now, when I'm on my ass at ELV desk.
3. Silver Moon Cafe - Good times and good food. What else do you need but a good old southern dinner cooked with Mama's Love? Of course, I eventually end up with the Itis. It's a good thing sleep is also one of my favorite things. Darn, I've made myself hungry again.
4. Spanish Moon, 80's night - familiar 80s songs + bad dancing + booze = more good memories(and some crazy ones). Oh, 80's Night, how I love thee!
5. Stables - There's just something about being in a barn and around horses that I just love. I like the smell, the feel, the horses, everything - I feel like I'm at home...
6. Shops - Wood shop, Print shop, Tack shop, Antique shop, Work shop, ice-cream... parlor. I like these places for pretty much the same reasons as I do stables.
7. Spec's - I know there are probably better one's out there, but back home this is a pretty good specialty/imported foods store. So much yummy food... not to mention all the kinds of alcoholic goodies available for tasting.
8. Secret Superhero names - Pony Girl was my alter ego my senior year in my high school computer science class. that was one of the craziest classes ever... I had a bull whip. Yea. and I could call upon my horsey friends to trample my arch-enemy Linda Warner. Some people say I'm just a Fat Chick, Eating My Fair Share (of ??). But deep down in the bowels of Foster Hall, beneath the Museum of Natural Science, within the sacred halls of the Print Shop, they know me by another name...
9. Satire and Sarcasm - I love laughing at people, myself included. And, you know what? I don't feel bad about it. I like dry, witty, intelligent humor: I get to feel all elitist and snobby (but only if I get the joke). On the other hand, I also enjoy, at times, laughing at the flat-out idiocy of the human species.
10. (A) Soup Named Stew - fun, crazy, silly. Just another good reason to hang out friends and drink. And just so you know... There is a show at Chelsea's on Dec. 9 at 10pm. You should all go, or else Will is gonna hate you forever!

Oh, yea. Post a comment if you want to continue the trend and get a letter from me.

What happened to ELV desk's fan? :(
Oh, got a swivel chair from my grandparents to put in my apartment!
Hooray for free furniture. and for a real kitchen and my own bathroom!
Hopefully I'll be able to find another job. I might be able to get that one at the Avenue... No call received from B,B&Beyond. sadface.
Thanksgiving was fun. Rode a horse at my uncle's house with my cousin's 7 year old daughter. She taught me how to barrel race. I need to start having fun on horses and not just work all the time. I also got to re-establish confidence in my skills. Unfortunately, I won't be able to pull the "I don't know my leads" crap at horse shows anymore. But that should result in better ribbons, no? Trusting my instincts is not easy for me to do.
Which leads into why I wasn't enjoying my painting class until now. I wanted to relax and follow my intstincts, but my prof was pushing me to step back and let the painting "tell me" what to do. Kind of a contradiction.
But I would really like to sleep right now.
I think about next semester... I just want to work on arty stuff. Take a break from other academic distractions (ie Greek). I still need to take 1440 and that's really lame, but whatever. It should be easy.
It's so hot here! Must do homeworks...
Edit:
My brain is baking...

So, Thursday morning I went and signed papers to lease an apartment. I'll be moving in around January 11th or 12th. I'm excited and scared, but I really think that I made the right decision.
Horse show this weekend in San Antonio. Hosted by Trinity, actually! Now I feel stupid for not mentioning this earlier, Lauren.
I think it'll be fun. The first show this semester was cancelled :( I have a crap-ton of work to do, so let me ask y'all a question:
If Aristotle and Achilles were debating Alexander(the Great)'s greatness, what do you think each would try to persuade the other?
On that note, I can't wait until this semester is over - specifically, I can't wait until my Greek class is done.
One hour left of work...
I really want to take intermediate litho so i can learn some silkscreen stuff. That would be the awesome. And if I do take intro and intermediate litho, I will be about as close to a printmaking major as I am to a painting/drawing major. hmm. Oh, and I tried to declare minors today... which sucked because people gave me crap about trying to get a minor that my college doesn't offer. Fight the system. The system sucks. There will be times when the system just doesn't work for some people... What if I went from a paint-major/print-minor to a print-major/paint-minor??? Mind-boggling ensues.

I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
After all the class skipping and getting-well I did last week, I think I've got enough... stuff to last me until the end of the year. Of course, I really, really can't skip at all now, but that's ok. I don't plan on getting sick again.
Removal of wisdom teeth went suprisingly well. Thank God I didn't have a "bad case." I've heard some horror stories from some close friends... But I pretty much slept all weekend. And I'm definitely not doing homework right now... later, maybe?
On another note, I still hate my job. But I've decided not to return to it next year... unless something else doesn't work out. I hate the ResLife. What else is new? OH, if I had the means to blast it off the face of the earth. Into oblivion. But then many of my friends would be without jobs. Not cool. I stopped at apt complexes before I left to go home this weekend... I am seriously considering moving out of Laville for next spring. I thought about trying to stick it out another semester... But then I had to take a shower. And I was afraid a chunk of ceiling would fall on me. Or worse-the shower curtain would touch my... shampoo bottle. Gross.
Thanksgiving, I think, will be busy. There are a lot of projects I need to get done before December comes. So I guess that will cut into "family" time. Am I an awful person for being upset that I might miss a dinner? And by dinner, I mean food. I feel like I'm a really self-centered person. And part of me is like, what's wrong with that, if that's how I really am. Then, another part is like, I should really try to change that. Mixed feelings. If I don't look out for myself, who else will? But somehow, I've gotten "taking care of myself" tangled up with "not letting anyone in and not letting anything out." Hmm.
I suppose I should get to work now.
