Who knew halloween could be so fun?

This weekend was a blast!! I was going to post some pics while at work today, but I forgot my thumb drive. This is probably for the best because no one at work needs to see pictures of me drinking. So it will happen later today... I hope...

Holiday. Celebrate!

Last year I stayed away, having experienced it before. This year, on the other hand, is really my last chance to partake in the craziest weekend Athens has to offer. What's this I speak of you ask? The Halloween celebration that put Ohio University on the top of party school lists! I have three friends coming up from Louisville to visit me. Pictures will surely follow. I'm going to be a newsie.

And on a totally unrelated note, I now have a boyfriend. I've mentioned him before- the one that I made-out with in a car and gave me hickies about a month ago. Yeah, he's the lucky fellow.

Look Mommy, I'm a big girl now!

As I was sitting here preparing for a presentation for my class this evening I realized that I have indeed changed since last year. I am no longer petrified of speaking in front of people. Last year, at about this same time, I was writing about presenting in my political science class and because I was so nervous I had to have a little drink before going to class. And look at me now, I don't even get nervous at all. I suppose having to be the M.C. in front of 250 people really put aside all my fears of public speaking.

Quiz time!

With a smile on my face

Sitting in class taking notes about Ayuthia
Listening to the professor explore its greatness
It just suddenly appears; a smile on my face
Walking to class
Trying not to slip on the bricks
Again it happens; a smile on my face
Apa itu ibunya, yang duduk di sebelah teman saya?
What did the Indonesian teacher just say?
I ask with a smile on my face
Sitting on the couch, watching t.v.
The flowers he gave me are in the view
It doesn't matter, I have a smile on my face

Oh yeah, I'm an idiot

I'm not quite sure if I mentioned this before, though I'm sure I did, but I was convinced that I was going to receive more money with my scholarship this year. Turns out that when I see a dollar amount in black and white I think that I will get that amount every month and forget to read the rest of the information around it. Even though the rest of the letter CLEARLY states that I will get the same amount as last year. So I'm back to living on $200 a month. The best part is that I spent money like I had it during the entire month of September, so now I'm not left with much. Good thing I like to eat Raman noodles. I'm also going to donate plasma- you get $30 bucks everytime you go, so if you see me with track marks on my arm, I don't have a drug problem. I'm just poor. I have never wanted to get a job so badly in my life!!!

Round 3

It has come to my understanding that my before mentioned friend or frienemy (from the entry Round 2) didn't like or was embarrassed about what I had to say. Let me just put this out there (because I am not speaking to her anymore) first, there are like 5 people who read this and of that only maybe 2 actually know who I am referring to and of those 2-they already share my EXACT same opinion on the situation, so they are NOT learning anything new. I believe that I kept that entry quite discrete and vague as no names were dropped- my name is not even listed anywhere on this journal. Nor did I say anything remotely mean, unless saying that I want this person to eventually find happiness is evil.

Student Finds Living Near Court St. Interesting

ATHENS, OH. Today began like many others for the graduate student living at the intersection of E. State St. and College Ave- by the sound of the street cleaners at 5:45 am. Sure this student doesn't have to get up for another couple of hours, but, boy, it sure is fun to watch the sun rise! This student also enjoys watching her neighbors, the ACACIA fraternity, yell and fight with drunk guys who walk by their house at 2 am.
"I just can't hear enough people shout, 'Fucker!' or 'Asshole!' in the middle of the night. The other night, they must have been around an Asian friend because I heard them joking around and call him 'Soy Sauce' and 'Sunshine Eyes'. Those frat boys are always joking around, calling people names," stated the student during a recent interview.

Does this mean I'm a dork?

I'm seriously considering skipping a class tonight to study for another one.

Oh and check out this article by the Onion- it made me laugh:
