Tech Week

...And commence of the hitting of the fan with shit. This week is really going to be a clusterfuck, but hopefully one which will end with an awesome show. There is a whole lotta stuff, both for the show and school, that needs to get done this week. So instead of actually putting a dent in my massive to-do list, I'm gonna tell you about my upcoming week. I am such a great prioritizer.

MONDAY- class registration, practice

TUESDAY- ATMS 100 online hw due, REACT meeting 10AM, practice

WEDNESDAY- CHEM 104 thq due, DANC critique due, cast dinner, CHEM 104 test, practice

THURSDAY- GEOL 100 hw due, CHEM 105 online hw pt1 due, practice

FRIDAY- CHEM105 online hw pt2 and write up due, performance

SATURDAY- performance

Practices this week are going from 6/7 to whenever we finish. Long nights every night, which suck considering my test and mandatoy (8AM) lab this week for the one class that I really should be caring about. A lot, a lot, A LOT to still iron out, but I'm still thinking that we'll be able to put something pretty sweet together. Whatever happens, it's all good- we hots. Alrighty then, class at one tomorrow (I'm skipping GEOL (9AM) again- lovely).

Deux...

Another one from last saturday...we fit a lot of people in that kitchen

Anywho, so you know how every other week has gone by shreally fast...well of course this one is painstaking slow. It sucks so diddly-damn much.Two more days- here's what they look like:

Thursday: 10AM GEOL- 12PM CHEM- 1PM ATMS
8-11PM BB dance rehearsal

Friday: 8AM CHEM LAB- 12PM CHEM
3PM- heading on home :)

Very excite for friday, mostly since I don't have to take a bus (thank you Schaefer). Done with midterms as of today- lovely. The weather is getting a lot better...warm enough for me to wear the cutoffs.

Makes me smile...

I miss home, but once I get their, I'll remember why I like college so much. I think a week is a perfect time to be home- not too long (like winter break). Don't think summer won't be too bad, though, seeing as I'll (hopefully) have a job, and therefore money. Meh...

One Week...Shit's Weak

Apparently I like to climb things at times when I probably shouldn't in the least. O and that wet spot tis not pee- I guess I "let" Hania spill her rum and coke on me after I spilled mine on her...so I guess that's why my pants smelled really sweet in the morning ha.

So anywho, this week was pretty fun, mostly due to the last part of it aka the weekend. Yet another fast one- paid my March bill, did some homework, took some quizzes, the usual. Friday I had to watch a danse recital at the Krannert for my DANC100 class- pretty cool and pretty creepy at the same time. I guess you really can do anything on stage and deem it modern dance. Then I went to a friend's place to watch some TV, specifically Legends of the Hidden Temple <3.

Saturday was a real trip. Started off with working on some set pieces for the musical at my director's haus- paper machéd a huge rock and sewed a few animal tails for the orgy scene ha. Then back to the dorms for a bit- skipped on dinner, then back to the aforementioned apartment for some cast bonding. Twas fun to the utmost- apples to apples, circle o death, never have i ever- all with the requisite booze. Safe to say that it was a pants-shittingly drunk night (if you didna guess, that's where the pic is from). Like unofficial all over again, except better- schwasted by like 10:30, and the night wasn't over. After bonding/liver pwnage, we jumped on the 22 to yet another party, where we continued to drink up. So yea, good night all in all...great friggin' night.

Alrighty folks, I'm realy cutting into my midterm-studying time...right...

...one week til spring break...yip

Defrosting

Engineering Quad- Orange Sculptue Thing.

So anywho, it is starting to warm up down here, although we can just as easily go back to our perpetually frigid phase- let's hope not. The weather today was maravilloso- not too hot, and a light breeze at that. Liz and I sat at our regular spot on a cement-slabbed heater and I finished my lunch while we talked and soaked up the loverliness of spring.

This week was pretty fast, like all others. Unofficial was this weekend- ha. Jess came down to visit, but she gave up drinking for Lent, so she drove while Eliza and I wet our whistles. Yea, so it was cool, but I could have easily gone for a movie and cake baking night over mingling with the inebriates on Green Street any day :). I actually enjoyed the day after unofficial more- breakfast at Bob Evan's (at like 2PM). Then later that night, I went to a party with the theater company. That was a good time- not too drunk, but right at that perfect buzz.

Anyways, two more weeks 'til Spring Break (CABOOOO!!! lol). I can wait, but I do indeed miss home. O and it's me berfday soon, so that'll be fun.

Just gotta keep it goin'. It's all good right now. Still smiling.

"I'm King, and They Know It"

Don't mess- I can and will let heads roll. Anywho, once again, it has been quite awhile. Nothing real new though- crappy weather and crappier classes. Musical practice is going, but I'm really curious as to see whether or not we can get everything done- it's a really complicated production for such a small cast. Whatever, it'll all be fun no matter what.

So yea, haven't been home since the start of the semester, and I won't be making it back for the CLS musical. Guess I'm coming home next during Spring Break. Meh- my parents aren't even home anyways (trip to egypt- pretty sweet I must say).

O and the picture is from saturday- party at the frat next door. First time throwing up, but it was fun up until then I guess ha. Perhaps I'm just getting ready for unofficial...Alrighty then, until again folk.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Last week of school senior year. My friends, they shall be my Valentine.

So nothing momentous since last time we met...Basically the tests are starting to roll in. Had ATMS today, GEOL on thurs, CHEM quiz and lab on fri, and test next week. Lamestix.

The pops still hasn't entered funds into the account to pay for tuition. I want to pay it soon, though, because I waited till the day before last semester and the line sucked. Also, I just wanna get cutting a check for 11 grand over with ASAP- writing out a check that big really makes me feel paranoid. O, and another thing...I just need money in general- need to buy, well, stuff...

Practice for the musical started up recently. It's been cool so far. If anything, the cast is pretty cool, and that's all that matters with me- just make me laugh and we'll be fine. I think this show can really be quite the hit...the music is campy, but catchy. So yea, hope that turns out facemelting-ly.

Anywho, long day...need to study...need to sleep more though.

February So Far

Once again, I am without camera, so it's time for another trip down memory lane...but not too far down. Cake making with the gang...baking- it just seems to be our go to thing. Now if we only found a way to drink AND bake, then we would be on to something.

So yea, not much going on. Voted on tuesday- OBAMA!, (meant) to get ashes today, and giving blood tomorrow- damn I feel like an American. So yea, just getting into the flow of things again- trying to get back on track in chemistry, and I think its working (knock on wood). Meteorology lame, geology boring, and dance marginally enjoyable. It's a good stress releaser, but I always end up getting called out to perform in front of the class. I guess I move pretty contemporarily when it comes to some things, but most times, I really have no idea what's going on. Therefore, it usually ends up with the teach calling me out for "good" form, and then me proceeding to make an ass outta myself when I eff up the choreography. O well, it's all in good fun anyhow- I really don't care about messing up, 'cause basically the whole class is in the same boat as me.

On to the financial news of the hour:
Tuition for Spring 2008 at UIUC: $11,631.00- holy bejesus.

Well I guess it's off to the national bank of...(mom and dad). You know, sometimes I forget how good I gots it. My sis told me about how her friends are still paying back loans. Neither of my bro or sis ever saw a single loan in their whole college stint, and they still got new cars for graduation (it's kinda a tradition now I guess...(insert dream car here)...so yea, better make someting good outta myself- nobody likes a middle class suburbanite who can't make it in the real world.

Anyways, I just wrote a whole damn lot...
