I had/have this one friend. I talk to her once in a blue moon, but when I do, I feel like I'm transported back to middle/high school.
-edit:-
And I'd like to add that whenever I talk to her, I'm in a really crummy mood the rest of the day...

So, because of "no-so-peer" pressure (from my mom), I've made a Christmas list.
...But I didn't like it. So there.

I hate Spnaish now. Everytime I look at my unfinished homework I cringe. I though that being somewhat bi-lingual was my thing. Ugh.

Even though it is insanely cold, I want it to snow a lot more tonight. That means no class, and I will deal with the cold if it means no class.
It's supposed to be the coldest temperature since 1998 tonight. Off to make hot cocoa ^_^
Oh! And the UC had eggnog ice cream. That makes me so happy. Oh em gee ^_^

Thid weekend was more good than bad. Though I'm very glad I stayed here for the majority of the holiday weekend. Today was mostly class and work. I got my gift of Spaghettios from my Secret Santa at work!!!

Today's been blah. Woke up kinda late and it's dark already. I haven't done anything today. I should probably do laundry though.

Today was magical. I hope tomorrow will be like today. Oh wait! It is tomorrow!!!!

Thanksgiving kinda sucked. If I didn't have to work overnight, I'd be back home in Hinderlie now.
November 22nd, 2006
I feel like I'm one of the last people here at PLU to go home. I'm kind of hesitant to go home. My mom isn't in a good mood. My family tends to argue a lot during the holidays u_u I'm here for another 2 hours or so. I was cleaning so much last night! First I cleaned out the stuff from underneath my bed and organised it. I swept all the dust bunnies out, took out the recycling (I'm taking out the trash before I go home), organised my drawers and closet. Julia and Spencer commented on how clean it was. When I came back after lunch, Julia was gone (home), but her bed was made and she cleaned it out underneath, finding eight pairs of shoes in the process XD
I've been listening to this song by Tiesto a lot the past few days. It's a techno remix of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. There a whole CD out of POTC song remixes! I'm so anxious to get paid so I can get it!

I have been really tired today. Julia didn't come back at all last night, but she was back a few miunutes before I took off for my Spanish class. I went to lunch afterwards and came back here and crashed. I woke up when someone called me and I wanted to throw my stupid, polyphonic ringing phone at the wall. I woke up again at 3:30p when Julia was leaving to go to her mom's house.

Bad things seem to happen to me as of late. Like last year, I've realised. I had a bad autumn/winter last year and I seem to be having one now. I'm not sure if it's seasonal depression, or just really bad luck.
I got to go to Nikki's birthday party today though! That was tons of awesome!

I'm scheduled to work 4:30am to 2:30pm on the day after Thanksgiving. I'm gonna try and go in with nightcrew on Thanksgiving instead and work 10pm to 8am or 9am. Consumerism at its worst.
I'm sort of upset to be working those hours because it is entirely way too early for me to be functioning, but at the same time, I'm grateful for any extra hours I can get now. I'd rather go in with night crew so I can be productive and not feel bad about not sleeping. I wouldn't bother sleeping when I have to be to work that early anyways. I hope I can go in with night crew. I'll be paid $9.50 an hour instead of my barely $8 an hour now and I'd get a paid lunch.
I really do hate the consumerism of Christmas. Is life really going to end because your kid isn't going to get that hot, new toy? Today at work, there was this kis, about 10 or so shopping with his mom. A game he wanted was too expensive and his mom wouldn't let him get it and he started crying. Geez kid, are you that greedy? GET OVER IT.
My mom wants to get me a PS2 for Christmas since my brother wrecked the one they had over there. On one hand, I'm thinking "Heck yes!", but on the toher hand, you can buy a lot of useful things for $130. I don't need it anyways. I have lotsw of things. A lot of which I should get rid of. Toys R Us doesn't really put me in a cheerful holiday mood. I feel so greedy thinking of stuff I want because I see greedy kids of the customers at Toys R Us getting whatever they want. I don't wanna be like that and I don't want my furute children to behave the way some of these kids do.

WhiteOut4 was magnificent! I had such a great time just dancing the night away! And the pre-party wasn't too bad either!
Besides creepy guys. One is a raver friend I've had for years. I feel like he was trying to take advantage of me while I'm in a vulnerable state. Not cool. Plus he was drunk and on the rebound. 2x not cool. The other guy was some strange random one. Amy and I got away from him pretty quickly. He saw us again. He left AMy alone because she told him that Max was her boyfriend, but wouldn't leave me alone...that is, until Max told him that I'm his little sister ^_^
We left a little before one because it was getting toio crowded to dance, thus not fun anymore.
But I had an awesome time!

Whew! I just finished registering for my classes! In J-Term, I'm satisfying my Alternative Perspectives GUR by taking EDUC 205. It's a late class. It starts at 2:30 and is over by 5:20. In Spring, I'm taking Math 105 and Spanish 202 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm taking my Core 2 inquiry seminar. For the first half of the semester, I'm taking my PE 100 class on MWF and the second half, I'm taking Comm 102 on MW! My first Comm class! I was so scared I wouldn't get into one! It's only 2 credit, but it's a start!
I hope I get the Comm classes I want for next Fall *crosses fingers*

Today, I was walking back to Hinderlie as Julia was walking back from MBR.
Katie: Julia!
Julia: What?
Katie: I need alcohol!
Julia: Why?
Katie: I just lost my job!
Julia: Oh sweetie! You do need alcohol!
Instead, we went to Saar's and got eggnog and tamarind soda among other things.
This hasn't just been a bad week anymore. It's a bad month now.

So I got a random message on MySpace from this guy in Lakewood. I usually don't message back random people on MySpace.
( interesting )
I hope today will be a good day. The sun is out; it's not raining...yet. I went to a meeting with my writing teacher in Blomquist today. Creepy Mexican guys doing yardwork smiled and stared at me. I have a lot of good ideas for my research paper, which is the final in my writing class. I just need to organise my thoughts into an outline and hope my rough and final drafts turn out to be atleast five pages! My teahcer reccommended that I read The Cherry Orchard by A. Chehkov.
When I came back into my room, it was like it was bathed in sunlight and it made me smile. I made hot chocolate and saw Manetta in the kitchen when I was heating up the water. I'm in such a good mood this morning. And I'm totally excited for my aerobics class. A few of my friends have told me I'm slimming down and that boosts my self-esteem so much, especially since everyone told me I would gain weight my first year away at school.
