Since I don't feel like going to bed yet, I'll update on my little brother situation.The agreement as of a couple days ago is that we are switching rooms. This, as much as I hate it, I'm fine with it. I think it's the best I'll get out of this shit. I guess it will be fine. Heck it might actually be fun going through my piles and piles of stuff. Ok, whatever.
Tony...told me his decision...I guess you can call it that, in a weird way. He randomly said "Is it ok if we hold off until summer?" And I'm like "What are you talking about?" If you know my brother, you know he expects us all to be mind readers and know exactly what he is thinking about before he utters a word. He's been doing it for years. Anyway, I agreed to wait until summer, which I'm kinda regretting. I kinda want to get this over with, and since I've done nothing all week it would be something to do. So summer it is.
I realized what a mess all my stuff is in. I seiously can't fine anything. Today I had one goal, to find my old webcam. I knew it was originally on this shelf, which I had to move all this stuff to get to. It wasnt there, so I looked around some more. I eventually found it, after having reach around posterboards to take a picture of all I couldn't see (the camera is that really small green circut board thing in the box next to the cocanut bank). So I had to move all this stuff where I found this and this (pictures shown after box of stuff was removed). The box with my camera looked something like this Everything in that box is pretty much that white shelf from the beginning shoved into a box. Not too cool with me. Anyway, I found my camera, so now I can get drunk in front of my friends over aim with the video conferencing.
On a much lighter note, I'm wearing my new pajama bottoms I got for Christmas. I'm extremely excitied because they have duh-duh-duh-DUH!! Cargo pockets. How cool is that!
So long, amigos!

I haven't written in this thing in a while, and now it's Friday night (or Saturday morning whatever) and it's 3:15am and I'm just a little bored.Finals were over monday, so for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I had nothing to do. I stayed till thursday so i could bring my friend David home too. Sooo for Tuesday and Wednesday I worked on this 750 piece puzzle in our lounge. Well shit, the puzzle was of a bunch of fucking penguins and it's practically impossible. We've basically got all but the penguin heads, which is about half the puzzle. Right now it's (hopefully) sitting in our lounge. I swear, though, it's probably the most frustrating puzzle I've ever done.
Anyway, besides that, nothing much has been going on. I was up until 5am playing RCT3. That is the freakin best game ever. All 3d, and you can fly around everything, and you can ride the rides. But the freakin best thing about it is you can run rollercoasters that aren't complete circuits, and have then run into people, and the people fly all over the place, but they don't die! so you can run into them again. OMG so fun.
After that, I probably spent another hour talking on AIM. I was supposed to have an 11am dentist appointment, but Mom woke me up around 8 and told me it was changed to 4pm, so i got to sleep in a bit. Of course, I woke up at 3:40 so I left without a shower and wore the same clothes as yesterday becasue i hadn't done laundry yet. After that I went to O'Charley's with parents and their friends so they could swap Australia pictures. So that was fun.
I'm going to work at Blimpie over break. It will be nice having more money. I'll probably go talk to Jim tomorrow afternoon. Other than that, not much is going on.
So I'll end there.
So long!!
Finals ---- As posted in my LJ
On ...
Well I'm sure some of you are wondering how my yesterday turned out (or it's my egomania acting up again). In case you didn't know, I had four (4) finals yesterday, all pretty much right after the other.I really wasn't worried about them too much. I thought I gave enough time to studying, and I took all the necessary pre-test precauctions: ate at Penn Station the day before, selected my underwear at least a week before, listened to the right music while studying and in-between tests (this time Guster was the right music for the "between" parts). Superstitious? Maybe, but it was enough to keep my confidence up. I felt I did enough studying for most classes. On Saturday I did the practice test for my CS class, and on Sunday I went to a study session for CS, went over 2 practice tests I had done earlier in the week for Calc2, went over all 10 or so quizzes (which I knew would be the final word-for-word) for my linguistics class, and tried studying the butt out of spanish. Then i went to bed around 2. Need lots of sleep.
My first final was at 12:30, and I set my alarm for 9 so I could get a good breakfast and study just a little bit more that morning. Unfortunately, I set the alarm for PM instead of AM, and woke up around 11. Thank God for that! Still had enough time for a good breakfast, but didn't study anymore (I didn't feel like studying while eating).
Took my Calc2 final. I think I did really well on that, which I kind of expected. Later that night I realized I fucked up on one of the questions, so that is bugging me now, but otherwise I think I did pretty well. Also, I got done about 20 minutes early, so that gave me 35 minutes more to study for my Spanish test.
My Spanish test was surprising easy, though I felt I could have studied a little more. I feel like I really fucked up the preterite tense, though I haven't looked at my book to know for sure. Learning more spanish can wait till next semester. Other than that, the test was very similar to the practice test, which I expected. So I think I did at the very least a B, which shoudl be good enough for an A in there. I finished that about a half hour early, so I headed over to my linguistics final, which could be taken anywhere from 4-7pm.
That linguistics course is a joke. Fuckin' easiest class I've ever had. (And for you IU kids....it's an E103 course called "How thought depends on language." It's caught by Prof. Keller, and if you need an easy topics course, take it. And he might be retiring after this semester.) The final was word-for-word from the quizzes, which are all online and can be printed out. It's multiple choice, and even the choices are in the same order. I misssed 2 out of 96 on it.
So by now it was like 4:30, and I already had 3 finals done. My last was wasn't until 7:15, so I ate at McD's and came back to the dorm to relax a bit. I basically told myself "don't sleep" because I knew if I did I wouldn't wake up. I felt like a pitcher in a perfect game, as described on Scrubs when Dr. Cox is going for a perfect game (where he works for 24 hours and no one dies). No one was aloud to mention anything about a perfect game or else he would be jinxed. Anyway, at the end, a patient dies with only 5 minutes left, and Elliot is like "It's just us here, we can wait just a few minutes. Our hospital needs this!" And Dr. Cox is like "Barbie, having only one patient die is a hell of a good day. Declare it." Anyway, I felt like Dr. Cox and I didn't want anything to jinx me. I don't know if I did anythign different, but I was always thinking about it.
The CS final wasn't too bad. I thought it was easier than the midterm, though I might just be getting better at it. I finished about 15 minutes early, and walked home. Hot damn it was freezing outside. Fuckin 20 degrees or something. So it was all over. Later that night I went to Applebees with some friends on the floor and it ended up being a really good day. Would I do it all again? Four finals in one day? Maybe...depends on how hard the classes are.
And finally, I would like to thank the Academy, my publicist, who is a beautiful, beautiful person, and all the people who wished me luck on these finals. Thanks to you all, and good luck to the rest of you!
So long!

hmmmmI've been meaning to write in this thing for over a week now.
Last weekend had to have been one of the best weekends ever. Although I didn't get to do everything I planned, it was still fantastic. Friday night, the original plan was to get trashed. Instead, after only 1 beer, we went to this sports-plex. ONe of the guys on the floor has a sister who works there so we got to play basketball and football until around 1:30 or 2 am. Went to Steak n Shake until 3, then came home. Good stuff.
Saturday.....hmmmmm....I don't remember what I did Saturday. I know I did something, it's just gone.....
Sunday, I went to the IU/Tulsa socccer game, where IU kicked their asses 4-0. That was fricken awesome. Now they're in the final four and going to Santa Barbara to kick some more ass. I was dressed as a gorilla. GORILLA WARFARE.
I know I did a lot more, but for some reason I can't remember anything. It was all fun though.
Someone in my spanish class said "hey I think the teacher likes you." ba-zing
I've got 4 finals next monday. I'll bsically be testing from 2pm - 9pm. Should be a blast. Good thing is i'll be all done Monday, so I can just fuck around after that.
It's pretty late. I'm gonna go ahead and get to bed.
So long!
