Dreamers dream to stay alive.

Quick update. School is good so far. I really enjoyed my first day of classes. I even have a few friends in them. Lots of homework already though. :( Justin’s wake and funeral were really sad, but I felt him there, so it helped. I found out this boy that kissed me at the Haunted Graveyard is gay. Ugh. For some strange reason, i’ve kissed quite a few gay guys. My letters of love penpal is awesome. I really hope I can help her out, and support her. Right now I have to get moving though because I still have some homework to do, and it’s almost midnight. Yikes! I have to get up early too!

Finally time for an update.

So nothing worth noting has been going on in my life until today. I’ve pretty much just watched Bones, hung out with people, and read a lot during break. I’ve done some other stuff, but it’s not important. Let me just break down this post.

  • I have decided to join an archeology club. They have one called the Litchfield Hills Archeology Group or something and it looks super interesting. I have always wanted to go on a dig, and they do digs during the summer. I might even take a class or two at Southern about it.
  • I want to start a book club. It will meet once a month, but I have yet to decide where to hold it. I’d like to find people who are interested first, so then we can find a place that is convenient for all.
  • I am applying to libraries in the surrounding areas of my town, and I really hope I find something. I would love to work at a library.
  • I want to volunteer (or work) at the Clockwork Repertory Theater. When I was looking them up on the internet, I found that they did a Murder Mystery Thriller play last year, and I would love being involved with something like that.
  • I honestly want to find better people to be around. I am tired of people taking me for granted and I want to make new contacts and expand my social circle. The things I’ve mentioned above are going to better my life, and possible help me network and find more opportunities. My therapist has been helping me a lot with this, and I can’t wait to start doing more with my life.
  • Classes start up on Monday. I honestly do not want to go. I am going to be so stressed until I can find classes to fill the gaps. I also want to drop exercise science because I have a gym membership, and I don’t want to take a class that I can easily get waived. I have to concentrate on finding classes that I really need to take, like a LANGUAGE. At this rate I’ll be taking a language until I graduate. Ugh. I pretty much decided to take Spanish. Since everything is being written in English and Spanish, it couldn’t hurt.
  • Soon I will start working on my case against the insurance company. I am nervous, but eager to put this all behind me so I can finally heal. I can still see the scar from the seat belt and it is a reminder that I am so lucky to be alive. That is why I got the tattoo I did. ( In case I forgot to mention I got a tattoo that says “I’m Alive” on my left breast. It was the closest I could get to my heart and I love it.) I have to keep telling myself to live my life. I need to do what I want to do for a change, and stop being scared. It’s time to put myself first for once. I am quite excited.
  • I need to go to the gym more. Ever since the accident I got lazy. I gained all the weight I lost over the summer back. It bothers me. I want to be healthier. I also have got to stop this on and off smoking thing. Weed and Camels. Ugh. It does not help, trust me. A few minutes of intensive running on the treadmill and I’m just about gasping for breath. When I smoke, my lungs and chest hurt pretty bad. Mostly it’s when I smoke weed. Honestly, I am going to stop. Ask me in a month if I did, and you’ll be satisfied with your answer. I don’t get addicted to things so it’s easy for me to quit. Quite easy actually…as long as I just resist the temptation. I swear, one day I’m going to knock that devil off my shoulder and give the angel a cookie! ( Strange enough the Angel looks like David Borneaz. Hottie!)
  • I have fallen in love with Bit Torrenting. I downloaded all five seasons of Angel, all four seasons of Bones (I know, it’s an addiction), all six seasons of Family Guy, and the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie with Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, David Arquette, and the fabulous Luke Perry (in his prime). Ben Affleck and Ricki Lake make slight appearances as well. I highly recommend this movie. Who cares if it’s cheesy? It’s cheesy at it’s best. :) I have also downloaded a few other things.

I am hanging out with Nicholas tomorrow before NVCC starts on Thursday and the Optimum Online guys just got here to fix the box that has been making my internet all wacky. (Yeah, it’s 1:30 am…I know) So I say it is time for bed. Goodnight. <3

And now I can’t post it because the internet is down again! UGH. There are two cop cars and two Optimum trucks out there. Fix my internet and let me go to sleep! Sheesh.

I got a lot to say to you, yeah I got a lot to say…

Well it is time for me to start all of my favorite autumn activities. I am mucho excited. I signed up for Planet Fitness so now I can get my apple picking muscles in shape, and my legs can be ready to run from something scary during our ghost hunts. Math class was fun today. So far, I like my teacher. Rate my professor seemed a little harsh, but then again it’s only my first class with him. There was this creepy kid though who kept talking to me and staring at me. o.O I was like “Um, i’m trying to learn here weirdo” We did probability today, so it was super easy, and his homework assignments don’t seem too bad. He posts the assignments for the whole month so you can get things done early if you choose. He’s better than the other one, thats for sure. My english class seems way over my head. Whenever I want to say something, someone else says it in a much more educated way. I have yet to say anything in that class. The lesbian teacher always stares at me too. I think she knows I am uneducated and lame. :( I will not give up though, because I know I was meant to be an English major. Yay for willpower. I have to stay up tonight so I can edit Nicks paper when he’s done with it. I swear he should just let me write them sometimes. I practically wrote his paper on making the golden gate bridge suicide proof. He should take advantage of my writing skills. I can’t wait to take another writing class. I like those better. Fuck all this alliteration/meter poem crap. I don’t need to know how to write poems. I have won awards for my poetry, and I don’t plan on earning a living with them. No one can have a career just writing poetry anymore. People barely read newspapers anymore let alone poems. I’m gonna go do some of my math work.

Hush hush.

Today was not the best of days. Thankfully, there will be more days. I switched my math class yet again, because I cannot stand the teacher I had. Well I took a look at rate my professors for my new professor, and apparently, he’s a bigger douche than the last guy. Oh well. Add/drop ended today, so whatever. I hope he doesn’t have an accent like the last guy. Bleh. I have come to find that I rarely like my math teachers. Mr. Riddick and Mr. Parillo are probably the only ones I ever liked. Krebs was okay, a little crazy though. Now on modays I have class from 10 am to 6 pm with only an hour and 45 minute break. Luckily, I am tolerant of such things and I will suffer for my education. I have lots of homework to do, so I shall get started on that. I miss Nicholas. :( Oh yeah, I think that the Hop Brook idea is totally awesome Lis, and we should do it. Seriously. I can’t wait!

Oh those windy roads.

I like to type in yellow sometimes. Last night I could not sleep. I kept having these weird disconnected dreams. Then i’d wake up and think someone was in my room. I haven’t gotten much sleep this past week anyway. For some reason my body does not like to sleep at night. Its sad. In other news, I emailed Mrs. Amenta and I think we might have lunch tomorrow. If I get back from English early enough. I hate that I only have one class on Friday. It’s a waste of gas. :( So I found an open math class finally and I registered for it. There are only two problems. One, it starts at 3:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I only have one other class on those days which gets out at 12. So I have a few hours of sad and lonely downtime. The other downfall is the teacher. I had him for algebra freshman year and I almost killed myself due to his ridiculousness. He has a Romanian accent and gets offended if you ask him to repeat something, and he is a fucking dick. He makes Vlad the Impaler look like a chill dude. I seriously hope that another class opens up. That is how much I hate this guy. Health went well. I was late for the first class on Tuesday so I felt the need to step it up in class and I participated a lot. Yay for me knowing stuff about wellness. I have a few interesting stories about school, but when I share them I tend to ramble on. The short version is that my zoology teacher has an Asian accent and she sounds sort of like the lady on MadTV. Also in my English class there are twin girls that are really tall,skinny,sexy, blonde, and they look like the white version of Rhianna. Both of them have haircuts that Rhianna had. It was crazy. Nicholas has to get his wisdom teeth out this weekend so I know at some point I will have to play nurse and cater to his every whim. He is not a fan of pain. He’s a bit of a wussy. So at some point I might just throw a bedpan at him. Where I will get a bedpan is unbeknownst to me. I have a two page paper due tomorrow, so I must start that. More later.

So what? I’m still a rockstar…

Classes start tomorrow. I’d be excited, but i’m worried that I can’t find another class to replace the one I don’t need. Quick side note, I LOVE boys who have tattoos. Mmmm. I really wish Nicholas would reconsider getting one. I know I want some more. I’m waiting to get one in October though. I have to save up. Well this is going to be a short post, because I want to watch my show and get a few things ready for school. I’m sure my post tomorrow will be monstrous.

Something about you will make me stronger…

I am slightly sad that Nicole got eliminated off Shear Genius, and I am very sad that Dee won. In other news. I really want to change my schedule for this semester. I messed it all up. I’m only enrolled in four classes, but I want to take five. I need to find an open math class, hopefully I can after the first day. Someone has to drop out of Math 102. For real. (Not that I really want to take a math class right now). I can’t wait to start taking some of my major classes. Mythology is going to be great. I took it in high school and I wanted more! I’m going to post more tomorrow, because I really want to play a game.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy.

So basically I hate dealing with college. I don’t know which Math I have to take, because my adviser sucks. I don’t know what other requirements I have to do other than Exercise Science and a language. I’m going to take my language at NVCC though, because my school makes it impossible with the scheduling. I also don’t know how much money I owe the school, and they slapped me with a 50 dollar late fee. Get it together Southern! I call and talk to 20 freaking people and I still don’t know what to do. Ugh. So complicated.

Btw. I’m watching Georgia Rule for atleast the 8th time. I’ve seen it so many times.

Guess I should get ready for the movie now.

I’ll keep you all posted.
