Hey Jealousy

AH! I’m back at school! Scary thought, since I spent the last few weeks trying to live in complete denial that I had ever attended a college at any point in time.

I’m not good at cooking or baking, but on Monday I whipped up a large batch of JEALOUSY. I’m (innapropriately) glad that my first MWF class starts later than my roommate’s first one… but somehow I managed to schedule my day so that I’m unable to eat lunch with my group of friends. It’s depressing and jealousy-inducing. I wanted to catch up with everyone over lunch, but instead I end up sitting in speech class (and I already know how to speak!).

Speaking of speech class… today my professor told us that if you lean on the lectern while giving a speech, it might fall over and you would die. I’m pretty sure she was not attempting to be funny. I tried desperately to stop the inevitable… but I snort/laughed anyway.  

Yesterday I had over three hours of Geology. First lecture then lab. Seriously, no one, I repeat, NO ONE likes geology that much. Not even geologists. Anyway, my lab teacher is making us call him by his first name. He’s very nice, actually. And he plays the harmonica, which is always good. In April we’re going on a FIELD TRIP!!! Probably to study rocks or something, though… On another note, I got to touch dinosaur poop in class. Yes, yes I did.

The most intimidating of my classes is definitely Spanish. My professor is so good at speaking the language that I start to shake in my boots when she enters the room. She has a very good sense of humor, which I can definitely appreciate, after a loooong day of classes.

My math teacher also has a good sense of humor. He cracked a Sarah Palin joke from one of the SNL skits (that I love dearly). I nearly wet my pants with laughter, but I don’t think everyone else got it. He said “I can see Russia from my house!” 

Onto other topics… like movies. I’m happy to report that I saw a bunch of good movies (new and old) over holiday break. On the older movie front, I watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Good Will Hunting, and Practical Magic. As for new movies, I believe I saw Twilight for the third time over break, as well as The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Spirit, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Out of this list, my two favorites were Good Will Hunting and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (possibly my two favorite movies ever). Suddenly I have a newfound love for Matt Damon and a strengthened love for Brad Pitt.

So… my roommate got a Wii for Christmas!!! AND GUITAR HERO!!! I am absolutely terrible, but I DON’T CARE. It’s so fun. My favorite song to play is Spiderwebs by No Doubt. But I’m a little jealous of my roommate’s skills. I mean, she puts her game face on and just goes for it. Her eyes get dry because she doesn’t even blink when she plays… that’s how serious she is.

Tonight was my first night back in Women’s Choir. I didn’t really feel like going at first, but I when I got there it was suddenly so good to be back. Singing warms my soul. There are so many new girls, which is good and bad at the same time. I mean, I like to see familiar faces, but it’s good to have fresh ones too.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is PICTURE TIME! I’m a big fan of the little Obama supporter.

And look at what else I found today…

               

THE CULLEN BOYS! I’m not obsessed. I promise.

Well, I’m about to peace out. Here are some songs for your listening pleasure.

I’m Not Over by Carolina Liar

Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis

Adios amigos.

P.S. Don’t forget to pray for snow! I think there’s a slight chance on Thursday, maybe? Who cares about weather reports. We can make this happen people. Think SNOW.
