Decem-brrrr!

Well it sure is a cold winter, and winter hasn't even started. I love this time of year, it's close to my favorite. A lot goes on for me right now and i really like that. I can't lie, I'm anticipating winter break. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy school and the learning envirnoment. But I am for sure ready for a break! I leave for Cancun on Saturday. It's bittersweet; it was a surprise family vacation and I'm very excited. But it is at a reeeally unfortunate time. It's during dead week and I'll be missing a lot of class. But no worries, I will get everything done and do it well. So another lovely think of December...actaually November...November 29th....that would be today. Baker is now open! I'm so excited!! At first I was bummed because I'm leaving this weekend and I wouldn't get to go up asap. But after I thought about it for a while, I realized that the whole state would be up there this weekend and it would be ridiculous. So I wont get to go until next weekend =[ but that's ok. Anyway all else is well so I suppose my next blog will be from Cancun!

Turkey Day =]

I almost forgot to blog this week. I'm so caught up in Thanksgiving! I love this holiday and the fact that it brings family together. I'm in California right now and the weather is amazing. We are spending the holiday with my stepdad's family, which I love. They are a very warm family and I like being here. It's nice because we don't get to see them much besides on Thanksgiving weekend. I really need to finish my paper. After the holiday is over, I'll have more motivation. I some on the plane, it just needs finished. Well it's almost dinner time, I can smell it in the kitchen. Happy Holidays everyone!!

I'm the Stranger in the Village

Somebody tell me why I have such a hard time writing an essay for school. I can talk until the cows come home and I can free write like nobody's business but when it comes down to theses, introducing quotes, and concluding paragraphs, I struggle. It's so frustrating because I really do feel strongly about this topic, as I did on the other topic we wrote about. "Stranger in the Village" was a very insightful article and I have much to say on it, as the class has heard. I NEED MY THOUGHTS ON PAPER! Someone please help me. Anyway I need to stop blogging because I have to write. Wish me luck.

Who Knows

I'm blogging now because it was on my mind. I'm so mad at myself for missing my last blog. It's frusterating because, like most people know, I do have a lot to say and this blog is perfect for that. So anyway what a day. I was in a crazy car wreck on I-5 today in the rain and was hysterical for hours. Plus I'm sicky sick with some crud and it sucks. I'm not having the best week I suppose. But that's actually not what I'm even writing about. I want to write about Grizzly Man. I LOVED THE MOVIE. Great great great choice Melissa! I must say, you have picked some incredible pieces for this course and they are soooo relavent to perception and point of view. Gosh, Grizzly Man was a documentary with such depth and it opened my eyes and mind to a lot of things. This movie and Timmy Treadwell actually touched my heart. I felt different after I left class that day. I'm sure I'll share it all in our discussion like I always do =] I'm actually looking forward to that a lot. I need to get sleep now, I'm crazy.

Everything

Today I'm going to write about everything. I am going to speak what's on my mind; a stream of consciousness right now. First off, I'm bummed about my essay I just turned in. I know it's decent, but not my best and that irritates me. Totally my fault, I am aware, but still irritating. I've been in a slump the past week. I missed class, was behind on my essay, and forgot to post a blog last week =[ On another note, I'm extremely excited for the next few days. Halloween is coming up and it's my FAVORITE holiday (in a totally non-morbid and non-devil worshiping way). I love everything about it; dressing up, going out, trick-or-treaters, decorations, candy, etc. I'm hoping we get some trick-or-treaters at my house. I'm a little sad beacuse the past 3 years I have taken my brother out to do it (he's a youngin') and we have so much fun. I won't be with him this year, though. But the girls in my house are convinced that we will have a ton of fun this weekend and the rest of the days building up until Halloween. Exciting...Anywho, I'm very sleepy today. I hope to go home and take a nap. OH also I got a new job and my first day is TODAY! I'm working at Joe's Sports and Outdoors now and I'm excited. Anyway, I wish you a good weekend =]

Weekend

I simply cannot wait until tomorrow. I finally get to go back to my home after about a month. I am going back to see my family and it has been way too long. I haven't seen my little brother since I moved. I have been really lonely lately, because as much as my roommates are there for me, it makes a big difference with them going to Western. I'm seperated from a lot of things and it's hurtful sometimes. I find myself in my room by myself a lot, thinking about what I could be doing back at home in Arlington and how much happier I would be. I know this is just a phase but it's lasting too long for my liking. So anyway, I'm excited to go back so I can feel happy again, even if only for a few days. It will be worth it.

Random

I'm at a loss at what to write about. So far I've enjoyed the weekend with my roommates. They introduced me into the "college" culture, some might say. Today we are going to the Western football game in a few hours...I'm pretty excited for it. I really need to brush my teeth right now but I'm torn because I'm really enjoying a lovely cup of coffee right now. Anyway, since I know you are reading this Mrs. T., I am enjoying your class so far. I like that you really pull out the intellectual side of everyone. I enjoy our discussions that we have and I can't wait for more. I really need to get started on my day so I hope this is quality enough. Byeee =]
