learning

things i've learned today:
i don't really like philosophy.
i'm a very black and white person, no shades of gray here, which is why i don't like philosophy
i need to change my attitude about philosophy so that i enjoy this class
i get distracted easily
when i crave taco bell i need to eat taco bell
i love hugs

band-aids

i gave myself a manicure today in order to save money. why pay someone when i can do it myself? i'll tell you why. because when i give myself a manicure i end up with bleeding fingers covered in band-aids. my left hand just doesn't know how to control itself very well and because of that my right hand cuticles have suffered. at least i have really cool neon band-aids thanks to betsy.

updates

my little nephew was born last week! he's the sweetest little baby in the world. i love him a lot. he's tiny and has the softest skin of all time! i'm not even joking.

i discovered this wonderful place called half price bookstore. it's a used book store and the books are cheap. i love it! i just like walking up and down the aisles and looking at all the different books. i have bought a few, but i just mostly like to browse. i need to use all the self control i have not to go there everyday, so instead i go every other day!

i went to a fair trade/green shop. i bought paper made out of elephant poop. it's soft and odorless. i love it. i'm going to write lots of notes on them. if you get one it will probably say, "this note is on paper made from poop. enjoy." or "like this paper, you're also a piece of poop." i'm really excited to write these notes, you should be excited to get them.

i think that's all the updates i have for now. the end

waiting

i'm very impatient so waiting is hard for me. here are some things i'm waiting for:
-my nephew to be born. he was due yesterday. he's already turning out to be more patient than me. darn it.
-class to be over. it actually just started 21 minutes ago, but i'm already ready to go home. i have over 3 hours left.
-the weekend. i don't have a lot going on, but i'm still excited for it to come. for some sleeping in, rest, time with friends, the usual weekend stuff.
-my hair to be long. it's been growing out for some time now and it's not super long yet. i'm thinking i may start taking prenatal vitamins. not because i'm preggo, but they seemed to work for my sister in law.

not only am i impatient, i'm also incredibly distracted. for instance, i'm in class on the computer and i've already checked my phone about 5 times. sorry professor.

christmas memories

i start a new class tonight which is so silly. it will start tonight and then go on break for 3 weeks. it took all the energy i had to get here tonight. i still want to be on christmas vacation. i'm sitting in the computer lab killing some time before i have to go into class. i'm typing really fast so everyone thinks i'm super smart and writing a long paper just for fun. i'm in here thinking about some of my favorite christmas memories. would you like to hear them?
-the year we got all our presents on christmas eve. it was the christmas that i got my american girl doll. oh, i loved her so much. i'm pretty sure i brushed her hair everyday, which is more than i brush my own hair. we all opened our presents and then watched a christmas carol and ate crunch and munch. it was really fun.
-all the christmas' that my sister and i would find our presents. if they were clothes, we would usually end up trying them on. we were awful.
-this isn't christmas, it's birthday, but they're close so it doesn't matter. i think i was five, maybe older, but i got a precious moments bible and a totally hair barbie. the barbie came with gel. i think i used all of it for my own hair. anyways, those were the two best presents ever. sometimes i still read that precious moments bible.
-last christmas when the roommates and i went and picked out our christmas tree and then set it up at home listening to carols. it was a fun bonding/tradition setting moment.
-every christmas that my great grandma would make santa claus out of the huge apples. it was the neatest thing. she would put cloves in the apple as his buttons and every year i would somehow eat one and every year i would spit it out because it's so gross. i never learn.
-i got a baby doll from my grandma. it was a boy and i named him michael james, i called him mikey for short. if you moved the baby the right way it would say, "mama." i carried that little guy every where i went until i think i was about 22. just kidding. 17. no no no, i must have been 12. i loved him so much.

i have two clementine oranges sitting in my purse and i really want to eat them before class, but there is a sign that says no food. and when you peel oranges the whole room you're in smells like them. i don't want to make these people jealous and i really don't want to share.

dreams

last night i had a dream about starbucks.  it's weird because i don't work at starbucks.  in my dream i was working with kirsta and i didn't know how to make coffee so i was just taking the orders and writing on the cups, but i didn't know the correct abbreviations so i just wrote everything the customer said on the cup and it was really funny.  i woke and thought to myself, "i will never be able to work at starbucks."

i ordered text books on monday and today they came.  homework can start now.  i'm very excited.  we'll see how long the excitement lasts.  i'm going to start reading as soon as i'm done blogging and wasting time on facebook. oh, and when america's next top model is over.  so glad it's back.  i've been forgetting to smile with my eyes, not anymore, thanks for the reminder tyra.  i'll be practicing all season.  

today i watched seven pounds.  whoa.  that was a hard, eye opening, heartbreaking movie.  i liked it, but i sure did cry.  to follow up that movie i watched she's the man.  i also cried during that one too, but only because i was laughing so much.  i didn't remember it being that funny.  i'll be watching it again soon.

i had my first americano yesterday.  it was good.  i drank it at about 730 in the pm and i was still in bed by 1030.  what if caffeine doesn't effect me?  what if i've built up a tolerance to it?  i might have to consult webmd about this.  see what happens when there is a caffeine tolerance and how to cure it.  i want it cured.  

in other news, i'm ready for fall and puffy vests.
