no more daylight savings time

1. i love daylight savings time when we fall back! cool, george bush extended it by two weeks and made us fall behind the rest of the world. but i was awake tonight when my cell phone changed over and i was excited!
2. had a good day overall. did some homework, went to a cookout with all my friends, and watched my school win a close and really good football game! 
3. did some more homework and then went out for a grand ol' time with all my friends. and i saw all these other people i hadn't seen in forever and freaked out. it was so great! 

tomorrow is a busy but important day for me! i am walking to prevent suicide. thanks to all those who donated money--it is going to a very worthy cause. so that should be a good afternoon, followed by a night of homework. oh well. at least my long class was canceled for monday! i still have to start research for the final project, but that is better than doing all the readings. hope everyone had a great saturday!

i dream of...

1. had italian today and got my quiz from last week back (92) and got homework for the weekend. volunteered some, ran participants for psych, then came back to start my weekend!
2. went to lunch with a friend and it was delicious! then went to dinner with a group of friends and that was really fun too. 
3. hung out for a long time tonight but i ended up having a lot of fun. ALOT. i was taken on house tours of three of my friends who live really close to school and that was interesting.

staying up late is not as fun as it used to be! well, it's still fun but it's not as easy as it once was. i get so tired and just want to go back and sleep! which is usually what ends up happening. and that's where i'm headed now. to dream of SNOW!

rainy fall day.

1. had a not too great day today. registered for all the classes that i wanted to take, so that was a plus. but it rained all day and classes weren't too exciting and i'm still trying to figure out computer stuff. it's almost the weekend, though--yay!
2. i'll put my schedule up once i get it finalized...things might change some but most likely they won't. 
3. going out tonight for real (not just hanging out with friends) for the first time in awhile, so we'll see how this goes. i hope it's fun!

don't feel like saying much tonight. like i said, i'll post my classes later. oh! i did look at all the pictures from the wedding today--there were so many but they were all great! everyone looked so pretty and there are some good ones of my family. so i think i'll print some up for my room and have some mementos.

computer/politics/registration woes

1. had such a long day hassling with computer stuff. found out that i need a new hard drive, had to back up all my files, while my computer kept freezing, and also try to do homework/figure out registration. frustrating! 
2. had italian class but no psychology sessions to run, so that was nice. but it was quite chilly today and i had open-toed shoes on...mistake.
3. went to boxing tonight for the first time in awhile...it was so hard! my legs were like jelly and we had to run a lot outside in the cold. it was definitely not a fun night. but it's good to get back to the grind. 

welp, america let me down. let us all down. just another two years of stalemate is up next. it's interesting seeing everyone's reactions to the election results. it was a tough day, that's for sure. and it's sure to be a tough next few years too. my theory: the tea party will ruin this country (read: nazi party's beginnings in germany). i hope i am wrong! and i'm probably only thinking this because of the genocide class i am in...but still. registration is tomorrow morning at 8:30. wish me luck! i'm glad it's early so that i will hopefully get classes, but that means waking up extra early. boo! maybe i will nap after my classes tomorrow in preparation for the weekend. should be a good weekend! let's hope my computer gets fixed soon.

political BS

1. election day! i hope everyone went out to the polls (and voted against the NO party). but, that does not seem to be the case, according to the poll results so far. it seems as if the republicans have taken the house. at the time of this writing, the senate is still up for grabs. let's go blue!
2. my computer has been a wreck all day. i have no idea what is wrong with it and its at school did not seem to have any idea either. and since it's not a school computer, i'm essentially up the creek if something is seriously wrong with it (which is how it seems to be). GREAT.
3. finally went grocery shopping today. restocked my apartment with staple fall/winter foods, as well as other things that are normally in my cabinets and fridge. won't have to go shopping for awhile, which is nice--hopefully not until after thanksgiving.

i can't help but question my "civic duty." i certainly want EVERYONE to go vote, but, like my friend said, "due to long lines, republicans are being asked to vote tomorrow." i really, really, really don't want the republicans to have control. i am so frustrated by politics! what i understand, anyway, which is certainly limited. i feel like everyone lets the politics of politics get in the way--does that make sense? there is no sense of working together for a common goal--the betterment of this country. it's absolutely ridiculous what some people argue about in this country when there are MUCH bigger fish to fry (like, the catfish in the amazon that eat monkeys...that big). yes, i understand that there are issues that are near and dear to peoples' hearts (abortion, gay marriage, gun control, etc.) but there are so many other issues that are more pressing right now: the economy, job availability, the welfare of our impoverished and underprivileged, the ENVIRONMENT, the war, education, health care, the list goes on. but a lot of people don't choose to think about those issues as the most important issues so we have people who end up being "one issue voters" for stupid (in my opinion) reasons. i could go on and on ranting about this, and i wish i could, but i don't have the time or the energy. i am just so incredibly concerned with how our planet will be able to support all this waste and all this unequal distribution of wealth and power. i guess our generation will not have to answer...but just our ancestors. you'd think that we would be concerned (evolutionarily) about the welfare of our offspring, but our minds are too primitive to recognize that WE and OUR actions are the primary threat to our continued survival.

winter is approaching!

1. long day today! skipped my italian class, haha, clearly. but i went to my genocide class. it was the longest class we've ever had and it was depressing, as per usual. 
2. skipped boxing again to catch up on school work and get over last night's festivities. it was a good decision, i went to panera for dinner with my roommate. 
3. have to wake up so early for data collection tomorrow. and i might have to again on wednesday. UGH. but at least i get hours and don't have to do any more this week...

had fun today reliving last night and seeing all the pictures online of outfits. it was overall a very successful weekend! i am looking forward to this upcoming weekend, too, because i don't have genocide class on  monday so i can spend less time this weekend doing enormous amounts of homework. whoo hoo!

halloweekend!

1. fly back from nyc today and landed safely. did some last minute halloween shopping and then headed back to the apartment! 
2. had the girls over, made costumes, got beautified, headed out for halloween!!!
3. it was so much fun, i liked my barbie costume a lot and seeing everyone's was great too! i love halloween at this school and with my friends.

 i have class tomorrow at three and i am dreading it. i still have a lot of homework to do, too. we'll see if that gets done. it's really hard for me to care right now and i'm not sure why. care about school, i mean. i am still doing the work and trying hard, i just have no motivation. oh well. time to go to sleep now! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
