I'm officially done with math... forever.

IT'S THE WEEK OF FINALS AND MY FUCKING ROOMMATE IS TALKING TO HER COKED OUT CRUSH ON THE PHONE. Not only that but she keeps saying she's soooo tired. My solution to that: GET OFF THE FUCKING PHONE AND GO TO BED!!!!

I have just registered for Fall 2006. Here is my schedule:

Political Science 353: Beginning Mock Trial- 2:00-5:00 Wednesdays
Spanish 314: Spanish Conversation- 9:00-9:50 MWF
History 221: Women in the United States- 9:25-10:40 T/TH
History 291: Diseases, Medicine, and History- 10:50-12:05 T/TH
Biology 101: Intro to Biology- 11:00-11:50 MWF
Biology 101 Lab- 4:30-7:30 M

I'm pretty pleased with it. I get out by noon almost everyday and my lab isn't from 7:30-10:30 at night. I'm a little worried about history. All the teachers reviews on ratemyprofessor listed them as tough graders but you can't always trust what is said on ratemyprofessor....

If I can make it through the next 3 weeks it will be a miracle. I skipped math today.... probably not a good thing but I did it anyway and I have been working for about the last 5 hours on my english paper. It's not due until Friday but I just feel a sense of urgency. Like I really need to get it done.

The biggest thing though is my huge history research paper. I picked the Scopes Monkey Trial thinking that it would be easy. I live near Dayton, I have heard about the trial all my life. But was I right? No, I was very wrong. What makes it really difficult is that very few historians have actually tackled the task of examining the effects of the trial. And what few historians did actually examine the effect have given me conflicting information. So I guess I get to write about how both evolutionists and anti-evolutionists won out in the end. Fun.....

And can I just say that I find the mathematical term "degrees of freedom" to be just too funny?

Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out. Your heart is open to where ever love takes you! Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking What turns you off: fighting and conflict Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love

So, My roommate is gone for the weekend and that means I can pretty much do whatever I want. I can go to sleep at 10:00 if I want to or I can watch classic movies for 48 straight hours. It's a great feeling.

Last night was a little uneventful. I went to a not good restaurant (fortunately it was cheap) and then I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics. It was highly symbolic and way too long but I just love the Parade of Countries.. its jut like the best part of the whole ceremony. And why was Susan Saradon doing anything there? Shouldn't a great American Olympian carry the flag in?

Wow, so its been a while since I have updated but there has not been much going on in my life. One suitemate moved out, which has alleviated the drama in my life. I have been going to classes (well most of the time at least) and trying to get motivated to do my work. I don't think my grades are going to be as high this semester because I am actually going out and doing things instead of sitting in my room and constantly studying. I need to maintain high grades though if I want to actually get into a decent law school.

Oh, and have I mentioned that I actually like college now? Well, I do.

In other news... Semester Grades are out and I must say that I am quite satisfied... even if my sister likes to rain on my parade by telling me that GPS is more difficult because my school is public (I disagree).

Your Birthdate: April 30

You have the type of personality that people either love or hate. You're opinionated, dramatic, intense, and very outspoken. And some people can't get enough of you - they're totally addicted. Others, well, they wish you were a little more reserved. Your strength: Your flair Your weakness: If you think it, you say it Your power color: Scarlet red Your power symbol: Inverted triangle Your power month: March

Not really me.... but the scarlet red thing is a little wierd... quite ironic.

I hate math. It is going to be the downfall of my entire gpa and that really sucks. I am already super stressed about getting into law school and I am only a first semester freshman. I want to go to a good law school, and to do that, I can't screw up my gpa. I studied for this math test for like 3 hours and I still think I failed, or at least failed by my GPS standards. This having a D thing is hard to get used to. I would have a 3.636 gpa if it were not for math. But because of math, I now have at the greatest a 3.5 gpa, and thats really hoping that I can pull a B out of my ass. Not to mention, my other classes have to remain the same for me to get a 3.5 gpa.

GRRR!!!

Cotton Ball Invitations arrived today... and guess who got one, me. Yup, thats right, I did. I probably won't even do it because it costs a ridiculous amount of money but I always wanted to get invited. I'm not really sure why, but I always did.

So I'm still a little worried that I have done this whole scheduling thing wrong. Especially because it told me the following registrations did not occur once... but it gave me a detailed schedule so I am going to guess that I did it correctly. And if not... I will be totally screwed and will have crappy classes next semester. So without further ado, here is my Spring 2006 schedule:

History 225 History of the South Since 1865: TR 1:40-2:55
Spanish 313 Spanish Composition: TR 10:50-12:05
Math 104 Elementary Statistics: MWF 12:00-12:50
English 102 Composition and Literature: MWF 10:00-10:50
Psyc 103 Intro to Psychological Science: MW 4:00-5:15

Out by 12:50 on Friday isn't bad. And I am slightly sad I couldn't get into a Poli Sci class but whatever.... there is always next semester. I also am kinda iffy on the class that ends at 5:15 but at least its only on Mondays and Wednesdays so I think I can deal.

In 6 minutes I will be able to register for classes... wish me luck and more on that later.

P.S.- Georgia lost.... tear

I love how my suitemates think I am a supreme bitch because I have the blinds open at 11:15 in the morning so I can study while my roommate sleeps. I could have my lihgt on but I'm not mean like that. Oh and one of them made a comment about how my tv being on for background noise keeps my roommate from taking naps in the middle of the day. Lets talk about how when I am trying to sleep at 1:00 am they decide to have a dance party... they might think they can flush me outta this room by annoying the hell out of me and preventing me from sleeping but they are wrong.. so wrong.

Roommate Rant: If you are so concerned with wasting water that you refuse to flush the toilet accept after you poo, then maybe you should think about not letting the water run when you brush your teeth and flush the toilet instead.

So I am procrastinating and what do I do when procrastinating... livejournal. It's been a while since I have actually updated this thing. College is going soooo much better. I actually like it here now. And along the lines of Jack's entry, I have been contacted by someone whom I have been without contact for a year. Kyle Meredith has decided to start talking to me again after a year of silence... weird.

Stupid email won't accept my password... poooooooh

Is it weird that I want to cry every time my mom leaves me? I didn't cry at all until she called me just a little bit ago from the car. Is there something wrong with me because I don't want my mom to go? I worry about this. Maybe there isn't something right with me because I still want to be with my parents. I know that I need to grow up, move on, and accept that this is my home now. I guess I feel like I am not supposed to want to be with my parents or at my house and that something is wrong with me because I do....

Let me savour the moment.... My 9/11 Commission Report, totaling 8 pages in 10 point font, is finally done!
