I love Lykke Li.

I'm also putting off studying for my French and Art History Exams tomorrow....

The Way I See It # 533

I had way too much coffee around 11:30 and I'm only just crashing. It's 3 AM! Goddamn!

I've been doing French homework, and I stopped in the middle, There's still so much to do. I also have to do corrections on a big packet of homework that was returned to me. I'm not going to stress out about it, I just need to get my shit together.

Took my art history exam, definitely won't be making a 100% on it, but oh well, I'll make up for it with the final.

Finally nailed down a volunteer opportunity! I'm missing Archaeology, but I think it's worth it to get this done.

I've been inspired by Zane's DIY attitude (he recently dyed some shoes and they look amazing), I want to recreate this:

Balmain Spring '09

Like....badly. I think that if buy a set of studs I'm going to want to stud EVERYTHING I own.


wow, I need to sleep.

The Way I See It # 530

I haven't blogged in a day or so, or two days or so, or I don't know, I'm not keeping count, but the point is is that I'm going to make more of an effort to blog every day. School has been stressing me out like whoa, which explains why I spent my whole day working on papers and such today. Though, I have to say it's nice that I've been able to do some fun things. I played The Sims recently, which was way too much fun. I used to play that, seriously, 24/7 with my sisters when we were younger, that game is awesome. Zane and I play it and it's grreeeaattt. Thursday night was Guild, Michele and I made cupcakes that were neon green, Guild's color at Slaughterrama '09, and they were delicious. I wish we had checked the ingredients beforehand because Zane couldn't have any, :(.

Friday morning was terrible. I woke up sick and couldn't enjoy breakfast with Zane, Michele, and Brian. However, by the middle of the day I was feeling a lot better and ended up going to this place called Texas Beach on the James River. Apparently my friends Ben and John found a cool little spot right off the river and now they all go there to hang out and have a good time. It was really pretty, and getting there reminded me of Oakton, with paths in the forest, and man-made wooden-plank bridges. (Christina, Kara, and Jackie: Do you guys remember those plank bridges behind our house? Are they still there? Remember hanging out with Megan by the creek that one time? Maybe not...)

After the river Zane and I went to Edo's Squid for a dinner date. That place was so nice! It's ridiculous that I had never been there before, because I can literally see my apartment building from the windows. We dressed up, which was nice, I never dress up for anything anymore. After wards we watched bad tv and passed out, hahaha.

and now I'm going to start my Witchcraft paper, which I have put off long enough.

The Way I See It # 527

my work load will never end.

I will feel better when I:

1. Have my volunteer project settled and planned.
2. have part of my Archaeology paper done.
3. finish my Ethics paper.



today I need to lock it up.

I need to feel better about school.

The Way I See It # 525

Oh my god school is kicking my ass right now. Time to make a to-do list for tonight:

1. French homework
2. Ethics paper, due Thursday, read islam chapter?
3. Begin Archaeology research paper: solidify thesis.
4. Finish reading Witchcraft readings and start formulating paper for next week
5. apply for job with the school of Education
6. Look up classes and figure out when to register
7. Find Ethics volunteer work. Get hours arranged.


it's going to be a long haul until the end of the semester. Jesus Christ.

Good thing this weekend was awesome!

The Way I See It # 440

I'm taking a study break for right now. Art history is interesting, but the memorization needed to be a good student is really repetitive.... it can get old really fast.

But for now I'm listening to music and, of course, blogging.

Today I took my Physics final exam, and it was actually fairly easy. Some of the questions I had to spend a little more time on, but for probably 80% of the test I was flying through it. It was a good feeling since I really want an A on that exam. Hopefully it will work out!

Then tonight I had Urban Planning. I officially hate that class. It wasn't what I expected, really, and I think that was why it was disappointing. I didn't expect to be buried under chapters full of Housing Policies and demographic changes in Singapore. The real kicker was that he told us it was an open note exam, but only told us that it had to be "Paper" notes a couple of hours before the exam. I completely freaked because I had taken very detailed notes on my laptop, each chapter having at least 17 pages each. The exam covered 7 Chapters! I was really stressed, but I managed to print them all off and take the exam. It wasn't bad, I have to admit. It could have been a lot worse. I'll be happy if I get a B, really.

I would really like a 4.0 however. That would boost my GPA (obviously) but it also gives me leverage with my Dad. Is that bad? I'm only trying to get great grades because I use it as leverage? Well, I also work because I like learning and such.... it's just that the benefits of a high grade point average are appealing to me.


alright.... back to Giotto.

The Way I See It # 439

I think that I have the possibility of having a 4.0 again.

I'm currently freaking out and putting my ass into gear. I HAVE to get an A on this Physics Final so that I can get an A in the class.

BAAHHH... What I would do for another 4.0!!! ADGIABELAUGABDLKBAKEGADBA

The Way I See It # 429

I am EXHAUSTED, but today was a good day, and that's what matters. I'm ready to kick my finals in the ass.

I think I will take a nap and then finish studying for my French final tomorrow. I shouldn't have a problem.

It's weird that I've been having my last classes. I feel like I'm going to be in them for another few weeks! Where's the closure?

I am, however, excited to go home and relax. I need to go shopping, hahaha. I really think that it would cheer me up.


I need to figure out my rent situation while I'm at home.... especially if the mail doesn't work.
I guess I'll be going back soon after the new year anyway....

While I've always wanted to do anthropology, i understand my friend Sarah's concern. The anthro department at vcu isn't exactly leading me to conclude that this is what i want to do with my life. but i think that if i decide to double major that would make things better. I want to work in a museum, be a director or a curator, and i would probably need an Art history degree to do so. so I'm seriously considering double majoring, if not majoring, and then minoring in Anth. I'm ahead, hwoever, and i think that it would be okay to double up.


I've also decided that i feel very 'blah' right now. i think i need yet another make over...

The Way I See It # 396

I scheduled my advising appointment at the School of World studies this morning for next Tuesday (SLAP ME IN THE FACE I HAVE TO VOTE THAT DAY). I'm excited to finally/officially choose my major as Anthropology, and probably my minor as Art History. This is exciting. I also realized that I am ridiculously ahead in school, and that this can pose as a fork in the road. Presumably I can graduate in the winter of my senior year, thus shaving a semester off of my "Four Year Plan". What do I do? Do I go ahead and get out of school and save a semester's worth of tuition? I'm thinking now that I could work and go to school part time if I space out my senior year just right. I feel a pressing need to earn money for Graduate school, since it's now becoming a necessity instead of a nice thought. Anthropology majors don't get anywhere without higher learning, and this includes even the elusive PhD.

So I'm a sophomore in college (Technically a Junior next semester) and I'm already laying down a five year (even more) plan. I never thought I was that kind of person, but it's become painfully evident that I am, and that I'll spending a majority of my life.... well... my young life, in Academia. Am I upset by this? Not really, I love learning, and I love being busy with work. So this is good.

So here I am jumping the gun wondering where I want to go to Graduate school. I looked at Museum studies (if that's the direction I want to go in) at GW, and that looked promising, but fuck, I don't have the money for that. I need to stay close to hime if I want to save some money with instate tuition. Obviously there's a good possibility for UVA. Although I am bitter that I didn't get in the first time (meh), maybe another go around would land me in Charlottesville. But do I want to be in Charlottesville? I think I would prefer to stay in the city, and I'm thinking Washington DC is possibly the place for me. While not "In state" it's definitely close and has the Smithsonian Institution close at hand.


What am I doing? I need to focus on my Urban Planning class. This is completely out of the way, I have 2-ish more years to think about this.

The Way I See It # 394

I am entirely too frightened to look at my midterm grade for Urban planning. This is what wishing for harder classes gets you.... fucked up the ass. I'll have to change the way I approach that class, and this means more labor, more hours, and more tedious studying on my part. Hopefully I knock the final out, blow away my teacher with my Urban observation, and generally make up for what a clusterfuck this test was. I hope Scudder (yeah, that's my Prof.'s name!) isn't ashamed of me.

But at least it's over my head and I can for the moment breath.

I saw Misha last night and we talked (holla atcha' guuurrrll!) which was awesome!

I took my French midterm this morning and I think I did really well! At least that class is going the way it should be.

My friend Russell that I worked with at Resto. was supposed to come up this weekend for the Highland festival, but sadly won't be able to make it. Bummerrrr,

I don't know what I'm going to do now.... I guess enjoy the rest of the night. :)

Girl what you do what you do what you do what you do is amazing!
You got me watchin' you girl what you do is amazing!
Do what you do what you do is amazing!
You are the truth
The truth hurts


So I'm pissed about my Urban Planning Midterm. What's wrong with paper tests? I know all of you "green" people give a shit, but honestly.... at least this technology isn't dependable, obviously!

I'm just mad because when I checked back to see if I could get into the test, I was able to, but I was already past the 3 hour time limit (and my teacher knocks off a point for every minute you go over!).

Let's all let out a long guttural moan.


But other than that all I have to worry about is my French midterm tomorrow, and then my week will be over. Thank goodness. This has been really rough!
