After a few weeks of not having much to blog about, I all of a sudden have quite a few things to blog about. I’m just going to put them in one entry to make my life easier.
I woke up today to the lovely sound of my phone making a crackling noise that sounded somewhat [...]

The other day I was zoning out in my Literary Analysis class, idling doodling on my notes like I usually do. There were fifteen minutes left in class and I was counting down. It was the last day we were talking about Sent For You Yesterday, which is a very confusing and boring book. The [...]

I woke up today to the lovely sound of the fire alarm going off. Last semester I configured my schedule so that the earliest I would ever have to be in class is 11:30 am. What is the point of that if they’re going to do fire drills at 10?
When the alarm went off I [...]

You all knew it was coming. You know school is coming when I rant about textbook prices. But you know what? I nearly had to not have a rant this year.
I am only taking three classes that require me to purchase textbooks. My other credits consist of my senior thesis and working in a research [...]

I was recruited to run games at my church’s vacation Bible school last night. That in itself was an interesting experience. Some of the kids had endless amounts of energy.
After it was over, one of the little girls from my mom’s group wasn’t picked up yet. Her mom was late. We were sitting outside [...]

Well, it’s not really new since it’s been around since Leopard came out, but it’s new to me. I hate iPhoto on Leopard. Yes, it has some cool features like face recognition and stuff, but it’s not cool enough to make me like it. I was not expecting it to be that different from Tiger’s [...]

I saw My Sister’s Keeper last night. I was quite excited about this movie for a variety of reasons. First, I absolutely love Jodi Picoult’s novels and My Sister’s Keeper is my favorite of hers. It’s actually one of my favorite books in general, right up there with Harry Potter and that’s saying something. Second, [...]

I have been an avid watcher of Jon & Kate Plus 8 for about nine months. I watched nearly every episode since going to school and actually having cable. After just the first episode, I was hooked. I was very impressed with Jon & Kate and the kids are adorable. Jon & Kate show so [...]

Why does it not surprise me that Warner Brothers has changed the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince again? Oh, wait, I know why! Because they did it not only once, but twice. This makes it the third time. Three times. I cannot think of another movie that has had its release [...]

Without me complaining about textbook prices? I’m taking a summer course that I am already really mad that I have to take in the first place (French). Today was the first day and after the class was over, I went to the book store to get the book. Since it’s only a month long course, [...]
