Rainy Day

I have been so busy I apologize for not keeping up with this thing!  Today is rainy and I have just half an hour before my next class so I figured I'd stop by my favorite library and give you all a shout out.  I also stopped to blow dry my shoes in the bathroom because I found out the hard way this morning that my rainboots had a leak..  I'm hitting a major wall with school and studying does not appeal to me right now but we only have about three weeks left! Yesterday, I had my last chem lab and my lab partner, Kayla, and I were the only ones that cheered when our TA made that announcement.. awkward.  I had to register for classes during the class which was somewhat stressful because all the classes overlap but I'll figure it out.  I'm going home on Friday and could not be more excited! Easter is one of my favorite holidays and I am looking very forward to being home for a little.  I was just reading through all of my tweets and I know I've said it before but you should all seriously consider getting a twitter, it trumps facebook and I just really enjoy reading everyone's witty thoughts.  Sorry this one was random and I'll have some good stories for you soon.  My best one of yesterday is the fact that Taylor and I (who already spend the majority of our time together and I honestly couldn't pick someone I would rather hang out with all the time she is the nicest, most modest, awesome girl ever and we just so happen to be in almost every class together) but now not only do we share all of our classes but we both have a bloodshot right eye.  Weird, I know, I think they're both from sneezing too hard but we can't be positive, we just hope they go away soon!  Hope you can all curl up and watch a movie or read a book or something tonight because its perfect weather for it.. I"ll be at the lib but hopefully Glee is new and I won't miss that!  Catch ya later.

Stats and Go-Karts

Yesterday in Stats class we got our tests back.  I'm sure i've mentioned i before but our teacher likes to hand them back one at a time by calling out our names.  There are two major problems with this method: she is Asian and can't pronounce anyones name, and no one ever comes to class so maybe 1/5 of the people that were getting their tests back were actually present in class.  Last test when she called my name she called me Witty, Mans.  I'll give her the benefit of the doubt when saying that I write pretty small and tend not to dot my "i's" but seriously, who names their kid Mans?  This time she called this guys last name and said she couldn't pronounce his first name.  Someone from the crowd had to spell it outloud to make sure it was actually them and when they got it right she asked him how to say his first name.. he told her it was Scott.  If that isn't an indication of how ridiculous this teacher is, I don't know what is.  I got my test back relatively early compared to some others but one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are not efficient and have the potential to be.  She is someone I would ever offer a more efficient method to because she would probably just fail me but one day she'll learn.  Today as I was walking to class I felt like I was playing Go-karts.  Not one person wanted to let me pass but being the competitive person I am I obviously found a way around them.. always do.  Enjoy the nice weather today!

Mom's Weekend

This weekend was just one big success but right now I'm feeling the repercussions.. my throat is killing me and i can't stop coughing but it was well worth it.  On Friday night, we had a North Carolina reunion at Abby and Claire's apartment.  The only one we were missing was Hannah but she was there in spirit and we all had an absolute blast!  Saturday my mama came and we went to a brunch and then shopping.  You all know how much I hate shopping but I miss my mom so much that even shopping was kind of fun.  She had to leave after only a couple hours but it was still fun and I'm glad she came.  On both Saturday and Sunday nights I went to Kofusion, a restaurant in downtown Champaign and I'm not gonna lie it was delicious both times; I recommend it if you haven't tried it.  It was Taylor's birthday so if you see her today make sure to wish her a happy belated birthday!  Sorry it has been forever I have been pretty busy lately but I promise to keep up with this.  I only have one test this week (yay!) and it is on Friday so while I do not get to go to pledge dance, it don't have like 10 other tests so I'm looking forward to it.  I had to take Nyquil because my throat hurt so badly last night and I think it may still be in my system so I'm gonna go put my head down at the library for now but I hope you all enjoyed the weather yesterday and have a great week!

100%

For those of you that think its pronounced "the libE" you're very mistaken.  It is actually the "lib."  I have had this argument with many people and to be completely honest, I think I'm right 100% of the time on this one.  One other argument I feel as though I have won is the Caramel Delights vs. Samoas.  As a child all our Girl Scout cookie boxes read "Caramel Delights" and nowadays, I have seen multiple boxes that call them Samoas.  I think we should stick with tradition and just call them Caramel Delights but thats just me.  It is an argument that goes nowhere pretty fast but ask anyone from Park Ridge and they would tell you the truth, they're called Caramel Delights.  Just now, I got my quizzes back in Chemistry and I got my actual grades (which were much better than anticipated #winning) but I also got 100% for my handwriting.. got to love that.  I hope he enters that one into the grade book because I could definitely use a little boost.  Today the sun is shining, I'm done with class by noon, I don't really feel sick anymore, and despite the fact I have not studied much for my test on Friday, I'm feeling pretty confident.  I would say I'm on somewhat of a winning streak right now and I don't hate it.  Hope the rest of you are feeling the same way!

Another week

It is terrifying but we have only six weeks left until this year is over.  This weekend was a very solid weekend and I have already finished one out of my two tests this week so I'm feeling pretty good.  I'm not feeling so good about this whole marathon as a team business.  I kinda fell off track with my training and it is looking like a rude awakening is in my future.  This weekend was gorgeous outside (when it's warm at night is my favorite weather.)  On Friday night we had an all house event at Kams which is always a good time and Saturday night was barndance which is clearly also a good time.  The chex mix lady, Loretta, left after I only had one handful which was the most disappointing part of the night but if that was as bad as it got, I'll take it.  I definitely didn't accomplish nearly as much as I should have this weekend but I guess that is what weekends are for anyways.  I've had an eye twitch for the past couple hours and if you have ever had one you know just how awful they are because no one else can see them but they are just beyond annoying.. hopefully it goes away soon.  I only have 4 articles left for the Odyssey!!!!!!!!!! When this year is over I will retire from there (unless they fire me first) and focus my efforts on this lovely blog.  To be quite honest, I am just fresh out of ideas and there is some motivated, journalist roaming the streets of Champaign that is just dying for a chance to write for the Odyssey and who am I to deny someone that opportunity.  There will be a small (or probably big) celebration when it is officially over and you are all invited.  Headed to class (for like the millionth time today) but I'm just that much more excited to go to sleep tonight.  Hope your weeks have all started smoothly!
