thanksgiving break

Okay...I am back from thanksgiving break. i visited all of my sisters and then had a thanksgiving party with my taylor bloodline. i had a lot of homework to do over the break, and i haven't started it yet, because i was protesting. the university said it was a break, so i used it as a break. i didn't do homework. now tonight i have a lot to do, but at least i had a break. i have two more weeks of school left this semester, and one of them doesn't really count. so i just have to stomach one more excrutiating week and then study study study for a stats final. two weeks doesn't sound too bad to me right now. well, actually it does, because i really really want to read some books. and i wish beauty & the beast was on sale. i want it so bad...i saw it this weekend, and i knew that i missed it, but i didn't know just how much i missed it. i love that movie.

sorry i'm not interesting right now. i'm homework oriented. one thing i'm excited for homework is a paper i'm writing on quenya and sindarin--they are elvish languages from lord of the rings. now, i really cannot stand lord of the rings, but i still think it's amazing the JRR Tolkien (a linguist) made up his own languages. and it's not something like pig latin or ongish, it's a language that has grammar rules and evolutions (made up evolutions, but evolutions nonetheless) and exceptions and everything! it's awesome. so there's my inner dork coming out some more.

i really do have to go, and i really don't have anything interesting to say. good luck.

Bonus Point War!

Someone Tell the Idiot

Alright, I know I'm stupid, please don't remind me. Just tell me how to do something:

How do I follow people?

Moving on,

I got the classes I wanted. Well, I got the classes I needed. I need to take one more creative writing class, and I wanted to take advanced fiction, because I like the fiction class, but it conflicted with my capstone. Get this though: Capstone starts at 1:30 (or something like that) and ends at 5 on monday. the fiction class starts at 4:30 and ends at 7:30 (or something like that) on monday. Both of these classes are on monday ONLY. so my question is. . . .why? there are 5 school days in the week. why do they both have to be on monday? and why do they have to overlap by half and hour? Someone is a bad planner. Someone is out to get me.

But I will graduate. I'm taking nonfiction instead. I'm just mad because I think it will be similar to fiction. I think the only difference will be that we aren't making stuff up, we'll have to stick with facts or nearly-facts. I'll be very sad if I don't learn new techniques for writing.

I am going home for thanksgiving. This is exciting and scary. I'm excited because I will get a break and get to see my family. It's scary because I probably won't get anything done, and I have a lot to do and I need to study for stats.

OH BTW! I got a 70% on my STATs quiz. thank goodness. That means I need a B on the final test instead of an A. I still have to study my brains out for the final, but there's a bigger chance that I'll get a C in the class, which I need. After I turn in my homework assignment (Dec. 5th), I will have a C- in the class. I'm trying to have a positive outlook on the comprehensive final. I'll just finish all of my final papers and projects so I can study for STATs. I can do it. And if I don't, I can try again next semester. It won't be the end of the world if I have to retake STATs, it'll just suck.

My new song is "Just Dance" by Lady Ga Ga. Love it love it love it. I've been listening to it for pretty much the last 24 hours. Love it love it LOVE IT! Her song "Poker Face" song is cool, too. I love singing the words "red wine" "spin that record, babe" at the beginning of the songs. dunno why. just fun to sing.

i challenge anyone to a texas hold em match. actually, it's more fun with a table of people, but head-to-head games are good too. and don't worry, we won't play with real money, just play chips. I want to practice my poker face. i think it'd be cool to be a chick who rocks at poker. i fish and camp, play video games, 4-wheel, have short hair, listen to rock, appreciate cars (the koenigzegg CCXR is my favorite by far, edition or not) and watches (Ulysses Nardin Diamond Heart), play basketball, watch basketball/football/baseball (and golf when tiger is on). My goals are to get a good poker face, learn to shoot and maybe go hunting, learn to snowboard, and learn how to jumpstart a car. i'm still feminine, but i'm not going to limit myself to girly stuff.

if you guys come across a website with good design/navigation, let me know what it is. i'm looking for ideas for site layouts.

Poor Jaycey

Jaycey said she couldn't comment on my blog. I fixed that for you, Jaycey. BTW, it was a BPI that was causing your difficulties. BPI as in Blonde Person Issue.

In other news, I'm registering for Spring classes tonight. At least I thought I was. I typed in the CRNs for the classes I wanted and then clicked "add courses." Yeah, well, then the server got too busy and I don't know if my classes were added or not. It's been about 2 hours since i clicked add courses. I'm trying to log back into the system. It's taking forever. I think the system crashed or it keeps on booting everyone out. Hopefully there are seats left. I'm going to scream if there aren't.

So I am staying up until I can get back into the system. If there isn't room in my classes, I will most likely die. I will most likely die tonight.

If you come to my funeral, you must wear a new article of clothing. That's my present to you--I'm making you buy something for yourself.

Also, everyone will sing 4th drink instinct by cute is what we aim for. the closing song will be into the blue by feeder.

and you will probably want to avoid my mother. she will be a mess.

*edit/addition: it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to register.

Ha Ha!

Guess what?

i was so excited to see that i have followers! Yay! So i'm going to go follow some people now, too.

and guess what else?

I'm following myself.

Ha ha!

Strange Dream

Okay, here's a weird dream, condensed:

A rainbow broke and turned into a stalagtite in the sky.
A piece of the stalagtite broke off and some black gooey smoke oozed out of it and attached to some guy that I was apparantly in love with but I've never seen in real life.
everyone hated him because he had a piece of the broken rainbow on him.
then he left because he couldn't take being the outcast. And I was heartbroken.

the end.

New story: apparently I am sick. I am sleeping a lot and I can no longer have salt or vinegrettes on my food because it will hurt my throat. and that means no more pickles too. do you know how much that hurts me right now? man....i love pickles...

i'm getting a new layout after i post this.

oh. i dyed my hair red for reals yo. i'm getting it done again in december. i'm going to make the red more bold. i'm keeping the pixie cut.

i love to write...not much of an update, but each day I love it more. i haven't been blogging because i've been writing or reading about writing or doing STATs...mostly it's been stats and what a waste of time that class was. i can't get a c anymore, and i can't drop this late in the semester. so now i just have to get a d so i don't have an f on my record. totally sucks. i theoretically understand stats. i just can't apply it. drives me nuts.

anyway, not thinking about that anymore. i will have to take geometry again.

I WROTE A POEM one night while i was trying to go to sleep. I was thinking about Jane Austen, then about how guys in that time period (and some in modern day) don't like intelligent girls, and i thought of this poem, and it made me laugh to myself so i made sure to write it down before i fell asleep so i wouldn't forget it:

Beautiful hair and beautiful eyes
Make a bed fitting for all types of guys,
But an edge-sharpened tongue and a brain in the head
Make all those men afraid of the bed.
So ladies, keep practicing faints that are feigned--
There's time 'nough to frighten once vows are obtained.

I'm going to work on that sometime. I could definitely make it better/longer. I dunno. It just made me laugh. Hopefully it makes you laugh.

okay...is that a long enough post jaycey? i really want to go write a story now.
