Long day. wrote a paper. did work... I'm really bad at this blog thing but I've been absolutely swamped recently

I've spent the last 5 days playing catchup for work that I am behind in and yesterday I found out I nearly failed two assignments. As such I haven't been able to do much writing here and am sorry for it but I've been completely and utterly swamped. Hopefully by the time the weekend rolls around I will be caught up.

In other news I want to end my D&D campaign. I want the satisfaction of slaughtering all the PCs in a violent bloodbath but without making it obvious... or I want something interesting to happen. Oh well I'll figure it out hopefully. It's strange though how easily they can kill off entire parties but when I try and do it, it's an amazing struggle. I guess that is what happens when you face power-gamers instead of normal role-players in Dungeons and Dragons. I'll figure it out. I have to. Actually I just want to kill one character... my roommate actually. He has an insane desire to just have a free world to play something completely overpowered and without any restraints.

Any time I provide them with a challenge, he rolls his eyes and it really pisses me off. Its my first campaign though and I have made a few mistakes. I've learned from them though and with that I think I can finish up pretty well. They might kill someone and have a group of mercenaries out after them, that'd be fun. Basically what it will come down to is catching them when they are weak and striking hard. Not too hard to do, just catch them when they rest and have a party of assassins wipe them out or kill one of them. They forget, they're not the most powerful people in this world... they havent become 1/2 as powerful (as a party) as certain others. Just because there are powerful people out there doesn't mean that everyone knows it after all. *Evil Grin*

long drive today... learning how to do a Rubik's cube better... i actually solved one last night, now i need to get better at it... and learn how to do the final 3 steps. I've mastered the first three now i need the finishing ones. Also I'm busy trying to catch up on work without even looking at my midterm that's due on Wednesday. Later

Pretty dull day, didn't end up doing much, Did buy a Rubik's Cube and I must say those things are damn hard. It really is amazing how difficult they are and I still am fighting to finish it just so I can say that I have done it. I knew a kid in high school that could do them in about 5 minutes and even with his eyes shut for the last 20 or so moves... something to aim for. Other than that, didn't do much but help my mom make some food for the Easter dinner we are having tomorrow. Yes, it's Easter on Sunday but since I have to spend that entire day driving we're celebrating a day early. Should be fun. Like I said, nothing else new so thats it for today :)

Oh, I forgot to mention, woke up with a rather interesting dream about a female friend of mine, not sure just how to take it. It is a confusing situation and it's been a bad two days or so but that is just how it is at times. Can't do anything against it and as such due to her relationship status... come to think of it, every girl I know has a boyfriend, kinda strange... but I am not utterly surprised. I just kinda want a change to get back into a relationship again but it looks like I will have to wait until something works out.

Thomas' Pita Bread

Thomas' Pita Bread is amazing. It really is, there is no Pita bread that I have had that is softer and tastier than Thomas'. Ran a few errands today and got the FAFSA work done for scholarship and financial aid at my college. Kinda stinks that I had to do it but worse things have happened. Honestly it isn't that bad it is just annoying to work on for one reason or another.

Oh well, also went out and got paperwork necessary for my study abroad finished and notarized. Legal contracts aren't fun to read through but in this case there wasn't anything tricky about it. Basically it was just saying that my school is not responsible for my safety while abroad other than the usual safety measures. Pretty standard and nothing amazing about it, just needed to make it clear that if i screw up... it's my fault and I'm on my own. Other than that, nothing was a truly exceptional about the day.

Hey all, not much has happened today. Basically just went to hang out with an old friend and watch Into the Wild with him. Great movie, sad sad story. But that's life I guess. That was pretty much it for my day and as such didn't do anything else. Ex-girlfriend started to be very mean to me after texting all day and i dunno why. She keeps going back to one thing that happened in our relationship and every time she does I find myself wondering if she really has moved on.
Other than that, nothing happened today.

Later

didn't do much today but I did manage to land a good job for this summer. Only problem I have with it is I had this job last year and with that I fell asleep sometimes. The bosses caught me and because of that they say I can have the job if i don't do it anymore. Somehow I gotta figure out how to sleep well at night before work and how not to get so bored that I become exhausted. I do manage to get a lot of work done but at the same time I also did fall asleep. bad for me...

Other than that i didn't do much today besides talk to my ex via text messages... I dunno what the hell is going on on that front but I do want to figure it out. Hopefully she understands what I mean when I say that. Also talked to some other people and may have made plans for tomorrow to go watch a movie. Into the Wild. My friend from a few years ago wanted to watch it and got a copy of it for us. I'm looking forward to seeing him. it's been a while.


Off for tonight, catch you all later.

busy day, Saint Patrick's day and with that went out to lunch for Corned Beef Sandwiches. They were delicious. Also we ran all sorts of errands and did stuff of the sorts. Uhh, actually it was a pretty slow day. Tried to figure out things with my ex from a few years ago and still not entirely sure whats going on. Ultimatley I have no clue whats going on in my own life. With that being said, I am done.

long day again, woke at noon after staying up until abour 4, then went and ran errands all afternoon. Didn't do much but got a nice pair of pants for a special dinner that will be taking place when i get back to school. other than that spent the rest of the time out trying to find a matching jacket but that didn't happen so gave up around 4:45. other than that tried to get some other stuff done today and even tried to get a girlfriend from school but unfortunately she has a boyfriend. Again this happens. Oh well, it could be worse.

Women and travel

Girls... I just don't get them. I came home for vacation and hoped everything would work itself out and as a result I actually just get stuck in a bigger conundrum. I know how I feel about this girl, I think (half the time) she's into me too... but she's also got a girlfriend. As such I can't make a move. It would be without honor to make a move... I mean, there's the fear that she actually likes this guy but I also feel that it is her being confused... I gotta sound like an asshole with this right now but I can't explain it all. Maybe I am crazy, in fact I would love to have someone just tell me that I am crazy.

Anyways, yesterday was a good day. Went to Boston and saw my brother. Whole family went out to lunch and dinner and basically just enjoyed the day as a big family again. It's been a while since that happened. Walked around Boston all afternoon and looked at all sorts of interesting things that were going on.

Day before I drove home from school. I was driving for 6 hours and dropped my room mate off at his house. All in all this was 6 hours of silence. I enjoyed it though and then got home and only got 6 hours of sleep tops.. Worse things have happened though. other than that I didn't do too much this weekends. It sounded like it was a lot more interesting and I apologize for that now. Anyways it's been a rather slow day today. Went to the mall, sent my watch off to be fixed and thats pretty much it.

Too tired to write

I drove for 7 hours yesterday. I got 5 hours of sleep. I drove to Boston at 7-9 AM. I got home at 9 PM. I am exhausted. I'll write tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been updating significantly but it's been a crazy week.

Catch you all tomorrow

I am really tired. I just got out of an exam I studied for all morning. I have a meeting about my getting written up in 25 minutes. I have French Lab after that. I need a bloody vacation. Thankfully I have one this upcoming week. I just have a 6-8 hour drive home tomorrow. I need sleep.

my ex-girlfriend

my ex decided to talk to me.

i thought it was a friend of mine.

i was sad :(

not because my ex makes me depressed but because i wanted to talk to that friend and she wasn't the one who contacted me.

I really wish she contacted me.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA in all seriousness though, I'm really not that beat up over it. I'm just kidding, although talking to my ex is always weird but I really don't care.

Very Interesting Weekend

Sorry about not writing on Friday, didn't have much to say then but boy do I now. here's the basic rundown: Got written up Friday night, got evacuated from my dorm on Saturday and rested on Sunday.
So, friday night I got written up. That just sucks. Basically I was hanging out with people in the kitchen in my dorm and just relaxing there at like 12:30. People went out to the store to get some food and then cook it. Anyways, I was down there fore about 1/2 an hour and was just chilling with people and suddenly my roommate decided he wanted to pull a handle of Bacardi out from under a few coats. No sooner than he does this do I hear keys jingling towards us and immediately know it's security. I try to get my roommate to get the bottle out of sight and either he ignored me or was just stupid and he didn't do it. Security rounds the corner, takes our names, the alcohol and we all get written up.
Yay. That just freaking rules, thank god for stupid morons like my roommate. Best part is, I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THERE. I got in trouble with alcohol two weekends ago and avoided security's interference so this just pisses me off. so wonderful.

Anyways, Saturday around 2:30 the entire campus and surrounding town lost power. Great. we all tried to go about business as usual but got evacuated to the library at around 5:30 because the fire alarms don't work after 3 hours without power. All my friends bailed on me and I was forced to go to the library. turns out this was a blessing in disguise as I met up with people and didn't have to deal with my friends that night. They told me to call when power came back up but I didn't feel like dealing with them. I did send them a text though so I did the right thing as far as I'm concerned.

Got back to the dorms at 11:30 and I then went and hung out with a bunch of other people rather than going back. Fun times really. Went out to a party (was nervous the whole time) and then just chilled with people until around 3:30 am. Daylight savings is really annoying. Technically it was only 2:30 but because of daylight savings it was much later. Oh well. I gotta get in touch with the people I was with and talk to them at some point. Maybe later today.

Sunday I basically relaxed after this bizarre weekend. now I got class in about an hour and a half and a packed schedule with tons of studying until a midterm on Thursday. Fortunately I have break next week! Go home Thursday night and then see my brother on Friday. I can't wait!

Dedication and stuff

Well my exam wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought it would have been.

And then French class was pretty good too.

Today was a good day but I'm worn out so I'm probably gonna crash soon. Also I'm thinking of wasting about 100 bucks tomorrow on senseless junk so I have to decide just how dedicated to that idea I am. I mean, I know I want the items I'm planning on buying but 100 bucks is a lot. Also I'm trying to figure out just how much dedication I truly have. Oh well. Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow... that'd probably be a good thing to do.

Studying tonight

I have an exam tomorrow. I have no idea what it's on. I am mildly screwed.

In other news I think I really impressed one of my professors today because I emailed one of the authors of a text we read for today asking about something he said... He actually replied and I passed the word on to my professor. She was completely thrilled and even emailed the entire class with our correspondence. I feel pretty good as I did not even think the man would write me back. It was pretty awesome.

In my French lab today we talked about the different directions (Up, down, left, right, behind, below, etc.) and I got to listen to someone directing me through an obstacle course. The TA really seems to like having me do stuff. I don't really get it but I guess that's ok. I mean, it must look good for participation or something but really it's kinda awkward always being chosen to be the first to do something. Oh well. worse things have happened.

Anyways, sorry for the short post but I really have to go study for this exam. will write more tomorrow

Midterm Thursday

Ugh, I have a midterm on Thursday. And I didn't get back my last test in my French class. That isn't good as I currently am not expecting to do very well on it and I just want to see what my grade is and get it over with. Oh well.
Today's Tuesday and I really am tempted to go to the next town over tomorrow and buy some Warhammer 40,000 stuff. I really like collecting models and it just seems like the logical step. Heck, this way even by just collecting them I can also gain a long lasting game to play so thats a definate plus. Unfortunately it's really expensive. I can not afford it legitimately. Oh well. At least I have enough money to think about getting it and the free time to possibly make it a hobby. All my friends seem to be completely bogged down in work and I thank god don't have that problem.
I've been exhausted all day and I have no idea why. I didn't sleep well last night but I did get the "required" 8 hours of sleep so it shouldn't really matter. I think I might be getting sick as I didn't feel well for about 1/2 the day. As I said yesterday my TA for French Lab was sick with the flu last week so maybe she wasn't right when she said it had passed. I really don't want to skip courses but maybe I should sometime soon. If I'm sick then I definitely shouldn't be in class. But if I skip class, I lose participation points and can't skip later on. The dilemma I face is quite obvious.
I have to write a paper tonight, I have to do the reading for it first though. I should start that now but I won't really concentrate at all so it seems like I should just give up. Worse, I don't even feel like writing or analyzing a chapter of a book today so I really just don't want to do it. But I have no choice. I guess I should get started somewhat soon on that and at least get some ideas.
Will write tomorrow!

I've been slacking....

My apologies! It seems I haven't been updating my blog as often as i had originally figured I would. Anyways, today was an absolutely gorgeous day out. Mid 60's, sun was out and plenty of nice clear skies for the entire day. If only all days could be like this, unfortunately it's supposed to rain tomorrow and drop to the 30s I hear. Oh well, life can't always be so good. At least today was terrific.

Got up at 10 and finished up some of the stuff i had to do prior to my 12:20 class and finished up my study abroad work (checking to make sure the office had everything in order) and got lunch before rushing off to Greek Tragedies. Had a terrific class with plenty of Jokes being cracked, it's always a bonus when the professor has a good sense of humor. Sat there for an hour hearing jokes for almost the whole time. Then I went off to Politics of the Middle East. had a blast there too but in a different sense, we got to break into smaller groups and talk about three videos we watched in class about the conditions that can be found in Egypt and also got back a few grades of which i did rather well. B+'s across the board.

Got out of class and finished up some more things before going to my French lab and found out that the TA is sick so it only lasted about 1/2 as long as it should have. After this class went back to my room and hung out with some people online.

Generally had an awesome day until I had to deal with my "friends." They are racist sexist and homophobes and utterly annoying. I honestly can't stand being with them for extended periods of time. With this after dinner I just put on headphones so I don't have to listen to them rant and such. It's amazing, for years I was super pessimistic and after being optimistic for the past few months I finally see just how whiney these people are after getting ragged on for being pessimistic for years.

Oh well, if people can't deal with others being happy thats their problem and not mine and I really don't have to put up with it. Gotta get up at 9 tomorrow morning so so for two classes and then I get to be in class from 10:20-1:15. It could always be worse :) thats the motto that makes me positive. Life is pretty damn good. Really, it's amazing but all those self help things are completely true. "Believe it and it is so." For years I believed life couldn't get any worse, and just by saying "life is good a few times a day," life got good.

Catch you next time :)
