saturday: ut vs. colorado (played at a college football game, which of course ut won 42-17)
sunday: went to san antonio (played at an nfl game, saints vs. falcons)
yeah, i'd say i got a goood healthy dose of football for the week

this saturday we're playing texas tech!! this game is going to be INSANE. and i get to see greg, so yay for that.
yay for my super awesome brother sending me o-chem notes!!

to sum up this weekend: AMAZING
i got to go to dallas and watch my horns BEAT THE HELL out of ou... yep we're talking 45-12 style. i'm sorry, but texas is just amazing. and, poor oklahoma, their school has always sucked academically, and now they can't play football worth a shit either, so i guess they're pretty much left with nothing. stupid sooners.
friday night was so much fun, a huge group of us went to west end in dallas and helped heckle some OU fans. there were so many people there, plus i got to see police in full riot gear arrest people like 2 feet away from me. good times. anyways, here are some of my favorite quotes from the night:

stupid sooner: burnt orange makes me sick!
texan: your FACE makes me sick!!

stupid sooner holds up five fingers (b/c they had won the previous five years)
texan: so glad that your college finally teaches you to count to five

texan: dude, you lost to tcu. TCU!!!!

dustin deas walks up to some sooner and says: "so, when do you think adrian peterson is going to grow a penis?"

yOU suck!!

you can't spell cocksucker without ou!!

walking out of that stadium after our win was amazing.. no OU fans said anything, and no one threw our horns down. fuck yeah, that's how we roll.

california, a place they say glistens gold. i want to go there and never come back home.

so... thought maybe i'd write in this thing again. i'm so lazy.

well, nevermind the 3 midterms i have on thursday... i'm wasting time on the internet.

i've just had one of the scariest experiences of my life.

those of you who know me well at all know i have this huge irrational fear of bugs. i can't stand them. and yes, they scare the shit out of me, especially cockroaches. they're the worst. anyways, twenty minutes ago i'm about to go to bed when i see this HUGE (i swear to god it was three inches long) cockroach running across the wall in my living room. so, naturally, i run and grab the raid and spray it. This just pisses the fucker off and it goes FLYING (god damn why do those things have wings??) into MY bedroom. well fuck. there is NO way i'll be sleeping now. so, knowing these things are attracted to light, i flip my lights off and wait for the little bitch to move out of its hiding space. sure enough, it does, and i nail it with the raid again. and again. and again. i had to spray it for like 30 seconds before it stopped twitching. anyways, i removed the body using about 2000 paper towels, and now theres a huge puddle of raid on my carpet and i'm still scared to go to sleep b/c of all the fumes in my room. great.

anyways, thats my life. no more fucking bugs better go near my apartment.

..you were the last good thing about this part of town.

anyways.. here's some lyrics from my new favorit band:

The Format "The First Single"

I can't stand to think about a heart so big it hurts like hell
Oh my god I gave my best but for three whole years to end like this
Well do you want to fall apart? I can't stop if you cant start
Do you want to fall apart? I could if you can try to fix what I've undone
Cause I hate what I've become

You know me, oh you think you do you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something,
yeah something I've just got to get myself over me

I could stand to do without, all the people I have left behind
What's the point in going around when it's a straight line baby, a straight line down
So let's make a list of who we need and we'll throw it away
'Cause we don't need anyone, no we don't need anyone

You know me, oh you think you do you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something,
yeah something I've just got to get myself over me
And I hate what I've become.

You know the night life is just not for me
'Cause all you really need are a few good friends
I don't want to go out and be on my own,
You know they started something I can't stand
You leave for the city,
Well count me out
'Cause all this time is wasted on everything I've done

You know me, oh you think you do you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something,
yeah something I've just got to get myself over me

You know me, oh you think you do you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something,
yeah something I've just got to get myself over me

Yeah

Emo Kid

You are 14% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an
intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your
feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted,
gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo
kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of
absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. If you write
poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression,
sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being. Your personality
is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in
yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too
inhibited.

I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Smartass.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you
could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42%
Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is
close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well.
Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can
determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored
near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 6% on Rationality
You scored higher than 9% on Extroversion
You scored higher than 7% on Brutality
You scored higher than 6% on Arrogance

ok so i figured i should actually bother to update this thing. so here's what's been going on in my life lately:

~i LOVE my new job. or, more like, i love getting paid $10/hr to sit at a computer all day.
~i'm getting my NEW CAR either tomorrow or tuesday.. it's a silver '04 toyota corolla.. so much nicer than my current car. and i get to take it to austin!!! YES!
~Texas WON the college world series!!! hook'em, bitches!!
~best news of the day: UT renewed my out-of-state-tuition wavier for next year, which pretty much saved me about $10,000. fuck yeah.
~last night i really got to thinking how much things have changed in the past year or two. it feels like i used to not have to worry about anything, life was so simple. life can just be ridiculous now, but i guess thats all part of growing up. honestly, sometimes i can't *wait* to get back to austin. even though i'm living on my own there, life is a whole lot easier there, or maybe just less dramatic. though maybe that's just because everyone there i have only know for a year, which creates significantly less drama. not that i'm complaining about it here. i love all you albuquerque kids dearly, and you all know that if you have problems you can always come talk to me. i really do miss you guys.
~also, i'm going to phoenix this weekend!! i'm so excited it's ridiculous. i'm seriously counting down the days. i think a weekend away will be good for me.

aaanyways... i'm out.

well, that only took a month..

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

i know what you're thinking.. laura updating two days in a row.. can it possibly be true?

anyways, started my new job today. was pretty cool. typing up some boring surveys, but then i got to do some racial profiling. Ok, not really. But i did get to go through the phone book at write down everyone's phone number who has a native american surname so that they getting adequately represented in surveys. that may sound boring to you, but i thought it was fun. maybe its just the fact a get to work with miss jen kahn, who's only the coolest girl ever. who else am i going to be a snobby little northeast heights "omg we have to go south of menaul" girl with? and i had lunch a twisters. mmmmmmm.. twisters. green chile. yum!!! plus green chile pineapple pizza tonight at dion's... *so* delicious.

so i just checked online and warpted tour tickets are just $26.50 for the denver show. plus i'd have to pitch in for some gas to get up there. but still, thats not bad. fall out boy, here i come!!

still having mixed feelings about this town. i love college, and i love this town. the two just don't mix together at all. oh well. i think its good to get out into the world and experience new things (hell, i'm experiencing texas for christ's sake) . plus new mexico will still be here when i want to settle down. i feel kinda like an old lady for thinking about things like this. oh well. i'm a dork sometimes.

i'll be anything you want; i'm glad i got the job...

so... i'm really damn lazy about updating this. eh, what can you do? here's what's been going on in my life this past week:

worked a ton, got a better (ahem.. *amazing*) job. as in, starting tomorrow i'm going to be getting paid $10/hour to enter stuff into excel. damn. i'm so excited!! i learned i'm extremely bad at texas hold'em. stupid game. went car shoppping with my dad. i really hope i get a mazda 3, but it will probably be a toyota corolla. oh well. at least ill have a car next year! umm.. got soft contacts.. they're amazing.. i love it. saw star wars for the third time. went to a tea party. i'm probably going to denver on july 17th to catch warped tour and most likely going to tempe some time before that to visit my kick ass bro. oh and did i mention i drank cheap wine and watched for shooting stars?? (props to anyone who can identify what song that's from..)

anyways.. though i rarely ever just post random song lyrics in here.. oh well, deal with it. i've even italicized the line that i think are *absolutlely amazing*.

Fall Out Boy "Sugar We're Going Down"

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

ok, so here are some thoughts on these. i always thought its was "a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it" because.. well.. that just makes sense. but according to the members of fall out boy, the actual lyrics are "a loaded god complex.." which is really interesting. i'll have to think about that for a bit. one thing i love about fall out boy is the fact that they write *amazing* lyrics. kind of like the old eve 6 stuff (theyre new stuff sucks.. but go listen to "promise" by them.. *amazing*.) i mean, lines like "i'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in this song"? "wishing to be the friction in your jeans"?? can you get better lyrics that that??

k.. i'm done being a total lyric nerd. have a good night yall!

plus, driving home i saw probably the COOLEST THING EVER. I'm turning onto paseo from tramway, and there's this guy on a horse, and he's WEARING A SOMBRERO. he's just chillin, ridin his horse next to the busy ass 3 lane road. SO cool. only in new mexico, i swear.

then, some drama at home, ugh, but CHEESECAKE at flying star and chillin later totally made me feel 100% better. thanks guys!! yall rock!

yeah... in only took two weeks here to make me have completely mixed feeling about my life. sometimes i really love it here. i still have an amazingly close social circle here; we can manage to all live in completely different states (seriously.. arizona, new mexico, texas, iowa, indiana, pennsylvania, california, illinois..) 9 months out of the year and then come back here and it's still the same. we're still incredibly close, there's people here i can tell *anything*. we're always *so* honest with each othere here, its really refreshing.

i know this summer is still going to be really long, and i miss texas wayyyy too ridiculously much (how pathetic is this: i wish i was at tssec right now helping everyone out). but the more i think about it, the more i can see myself ending up here, living here the rest of my life, raising a family here etc. i'm so glad i'm going out of state for college, i would hate going to college here, but at the same time it makes me realize exactly what this place has to offer. so yeah, as much as i bitch about having to be here this summer, yeah.. you can just tell me to shut up and stop whining.

tonights my last night in Austin for three months. my first year of college is effectively over (just have to get through that last final tomorrow morning.) UMM... WHERE THE HELL DID THIS YEAR GO?! it seriously feels like ive only been here about 2 months.

I'll admit, there were this times this year when i was like "why the hell did i decide i just had to go to flippin TEXAS.. why didn't i choose california/arizona/new mexico etc etc etc." but yeah. overall, i'm so glad i did choose to go here. after one year here, i'm fairly confident in that decision :D and yeah, who would have thought little shy laura could walk into a school of 50,000 people not knowing ANYONE and manage to make about a zillion kick ass friends and have the fuckin time of her life?

Texas.. i'm gonna miss ya.

"Bend and Not Break" Dashboard Confessional

2005-04-27T21:29:00.000-07:00

I catalog these steps now
Decisive and intentioned
precise and patterned specifically to yours.
I'm talented at breathing
Especially exhaling
So that my chest will rise and fall with yours

I'm careful not to wake you
Fearing conversation
It's better just to hold you
And keep you pacified
I'm talented with reason
I cover all the angles
I can fail before I ever try

Try to understand there's an old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)
Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)

I am fairly agile
I can bend and not break
Or I can break and take it with a smile
And I am so resilient
I recover quickly
I'll convince you soon that I am fine

Try to understand there's and old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)
Wont you hold me now (For you I rise, for you I fall)

Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to you
Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to you, to you

And try to understand there's and old mistake that fools will make
And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
So wont you hold me now?
Wont you hold me now?
Now, now, now, now, now

i'm such a bum

2005-04-25T19:41:00.000-07:00

so this weekend was pretty boring. san antonio was fun, i guess. free chic-fil-a rocks my world. and sunday was pretty cool because i went shopping with my favorite girlies ever all day. and i got a pretty cute banquet dress. the only problem is it's like bright pink. i mean, it's not obnoxious or anything, it's actually pretty hott, but i just don't usually wear something so... noticable. oh well. i love it... it's all pretty and flowy. all i need now are some shoes to match it. anyone feel like going shoe shopping with me any time soon?

other than that... mondays suck. i was up til like 330am yesterday for absolutely no reason, i just couldn't make myself sleep. so of course, i then slept through my alarm and woke up 4 minutes before my 9am class. i was only 10 minutes late, though. my bad. but that kinda put the rest of my day out of whack, and it just was kinda blah all day. i still blame the weather for most of that, though. damn you clouds!!!

you know what else sucks? i can't register until thursday, and the o-chem class i wanted into is already closed. thats right, not waitlisted, CLOSED. which means i'm (if i'm lucky) am going to have the shitty prof at 8am MWF. oh the joy.

keep your head up, the colors are beautiful

2005-04-20T20:55:00.000-07:00

so today i'm only focusing on the things that made me smile

*i went to all my classes
*conversation in bio discussion:
student: "but why did you say herbivorous.."
TA: "i didn't say herbivorous."
student: stares blankly
TA: "but happy 4.20, by the way."
TA proceeds to mention 4.20 three more times in class... good times
*calculus discussion was 5 minutes long, and consisted only of the TA telling us exactly what to study for our quiz next week
*dinner was fun. alyssa, you rock! we need to do that more often.
*i got half of my chem lab done. two days before it's due. hell yes.
*quotes from seinfeld:
jerry: "what percentage of men would you say are attractive?"
elaine: "i don't know. about 25."
jerry: "are you kidding? it's only like 5 or 6!"
elaine: "so you're saying 95% of people are undatable?"
jerry: "yes!"
elaine: "then how do all these people get together with someone?"
jerry: "alcohol!"
*and... here's to hoping for a better tomorrow :D

so according to the internet, i don't have an accent..

time for a sentimental entry..

2005-04-18T08:44:00.000-07:00

hey

so.. crazy weekend. relay for life was fun. then saturday... oh saturday. Q night rocked. thats all i have to say. here's some photographic evidence of its awesomeness. (props to miss erin teater who's webshots i'm mooching off of). yeah. dinner was fun, karaoke totally rocked, and the rest... yeah. i'm not sure where to start. let's just say it was crazy awesome, a night i'm sure we'll all remember (hopefully we can..) for awhile. ridiculous. Q YALL ROCK MY WORLD!!!!!!

then yesterday.. third degree!! yay we're all active now! it is amazing.. and as everyone else has said in their blogs, it has been an incredible semester that i am so proud to have shared with you girls. i love you guys.

now, because this entry was getting to be just a little too happy..
REASON I HATE UT HOUSING #82736: cable tv and the INTERNET (the horror..) went out in kinsolving for most of yesterday and all of last night. the night i needed to write my entire bio paper, so i had to go to the library and use wireless. so annoying, considering i'm PAYING for this internet, and it better damn well always be working. gahhh.

anyways.. thats all i have for now. yay Q!!!!!!!!!!!

2005-04-12T21:12:00.000-07:00

i have so many awesome, supportive people in my life. i just wanted to thank yall for always being there for me. you rock!! yeah, you! :D

..can you still feel the butterflies?

2005-04-10T22:09:00.000-07:00

so yeah... i havn't written a real entry thing in this thing in forever. lame, eh?

so yeah... it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I really should be studying some bio right now... yeah thats obviously not happening. i wish i could be a professional procrastinator. man i'd be so good at that job. professional procrastinator/nap taker... that's totally me. so anyways, my point is i should be studying but instead i'm updating my blog, something that obviously desperately needs to be done. obviously.

so anyways... my new favorite song is "For Me This is Heaven" by Jimmy Eat World. I've only had that song on my iTunes for like a week and my playcount for it is already over 100...(thats like almost 7 hours of JUST listening to that song) and that's just how many times i've played it on my computer, not my iPod. it's ridiculous. but yeah... i'm way into jimmy eat world's older stuff all of a sudden. yall should check it out, its way good.

so today was a really good day. me and megan decided we wanted to go to the mall, but we didn't feel like putting on "real" clothes, so we totally just went in sweats and tshirts. and we proceeded to just be incredibly girly and spend way too much money on clothes and try on a million dresses and stuff. and had really awesome friend/roommate bonding experiences... i won't go into details, but we are really kinda weird/pathetic. oh well. fun times. (YESSSSSSS. walk out, turn left and go 74 1/2 yards and you'll run right into it!!)

anyways, tomorrow me and megan are signing our APARTMENT LEASE!!!!! :D!!!! words can't describe how excited i am for that. next year will kick SO much ass.

oh, and a week from now i will be an ACTIVE!!! woohoo, no more pledging, although i did really enjoy it. i love all my Q girls so much. WE ROCK!!!!!

laters!

so... last night all the water went off in my dorm. thats like 800 girls without water, expected to go outside and across a street into the next dorm over and use their guest bathroom. gahhh. i had to buy a bottle of water just because i seriously have problems going to sleep without washing my face and brushing my teeth. then they decide to put the water back on for like 2 hours this morning so people can take showers. so of course the entire dorm is taking a shower, so theres no water pressure whatsoever. then i come back after my 9am class and the water is off AGAIN... apparently it didnt come on until like 6pm. its still working now, but we'll see how long it lasts. gahh. and then, to top it off, our internet randomly started cutting out.. i just now got it back. so needless to say, i just LOVE ut housing. i swear our roof is going to collapse next or something... (knocks on wood..)

what is love?

If you scored...

1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.

1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!

1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

ok, i sincerely appologize to anyone who actually read this entry. never mind. dude... internet blogs are lame.

spring is in the air...

so its been a pretty good weekend. incredibly unproductive, but good. let's see.. friday night megans 'rents took me, her, and shan out for dinner, and then we decided to be good little texas nerds and go see man of the house. worst movie ever, but in all the scenes with the UT band, that was the actual longhorn band from last year, so knew like everyone in it! it was so cool!! but yeah, in terms of the actual plot of the movie.. its god awful. i predict it will be out on dvd by the end of next week.
saturday, woke up early to help out with project 2005. pretty much consisted of us trying to clean up some allyways in some not so nice parts of east austin. yeah, we kept on hearing sirens and all the billboards were in spanish. but it would have been a really good project if it wasnt pouring down rain and they provided us with better gloves. when you keep on finding hyperdermic needles and stuff, little plastic gloves probably arent going to cut it. but for me at least, it was an eye-opening experience. after that, me, erin, and lauren proceeded to stuff our faces at wendy's, and then decided to rent super size me. yeah never eating fast food (except for wendy's because its sooo gooood) again. then dave calls me, we go out to dinner, and then watch american beauty with megan (i will corrupt her yet!!). then dave leaves and me and megan decide to hit up another party. ok, we're just exiting off mopac on our way to ther and we're stopped at the light at far west. and right in front of us this guy goes through the light turning left, skids on the wet roads, runs into a guard rail and flips his car. megan pulls over and dials 911, and we tentitively get out of the car to see if everythings ok. theres only one guy in the car and he's conscience, but we cant really ask him anything because he only speaks spanish. finally the fire dept. shows up and gets the guy out ok. then the cops take down me and megan's story and we're on our way. yeah. crazy.
and today.. the weather is so beautiful. and i can really feel the beginnings of spring. its awesome. i'm so very happily single, but with many possibilities... the perfect situation to be in.

i'll leave when i wanna..

damn.

so yeah.. stressful start to the week. its totally unfair to ever expect any college student to have 3 tests in a row. anyways, i got an 88 on chem and an 89 on calc (72 without the curve.. thank god for ridiculous math profs who actually curve..). so yeah. monday and tuesday sucked, but today was ok. beautiful weather outside, didnt wake up until 11 (nevermind that 9am bio lecture..) didnt have band, fun interview at starbucks, and a productive night.

"good eye, sniper. i'll shoot, you run"

"fate fell short this time.."

weekend updates

hey yall

so yeah... can you say crazy ass weekend? i don't even know where to begin. i should be studying for my 3 exams that i have within the next 26 hours or so... but yeah.. what can ya do? random thoughts on this past weekend:

*ihop at 6AM? i guess it was pretty fun
*i'm so sick of rain
*getting all ready/pretty for fancy banquets takes *forever*. though i have been getting more lazy on my appearance this semester.
*wow... hotels dont seem to card for big frat banquets
*and if your date is willing to blow $6.50 per margarita for you, why not?
*and... more alcohol. free this time. i guess phi psi alumni sure are loyal.
*back to the dorm to go with megan to a different party
*wow.. more people here than i expected. it was good to see everyone together again.
*the shmirnoff watermelon twists taste like jolly ranchers!
*wow.. creepy guys who look like an ugly, stoned kid rock hitting on you constantly are NOT cool at all
*note to everyone-- don't be dumb like some people i know and mix weed and alcohol
*driving around to every hospital in north austin trying to find your friend at 3AM is not fun. but i guess you find out which people are your real, loyal friends.
*i'm so glad everyone is ok now
*and then sunday... LOTS of studying.

anyways... back to cramming for my government midterm (on PRESIDENTS day... the irony..) that's in about 2 hours... so yeah

later!

i'm such a dork

ok, i don't know who the new guy working in the little convience store thingy downstairs in my dorm is, but oh my god he is amazingly hot. and of course, i have to stand there and hold a conversation with him in my glasses with my hair all blah because ive been studying as im buying red bull and gum... such a dork. but oh my god.... gorgeous.

and the oc was fucking awesome!! and OMG ITS GOING TO BE SO GOOD NEXT WEEK!!!

"you're crazy and i'm crazy about you.."

so yeah... lonnnnnnnnng day.

started out with me really, really not wanted to get up for my 9am bio lecture. bleh. it was bad. so i started taking vitamins in an effort for me to not be so exhausted all the time (you know, instead of actually get sleep and/or eating semi-regularly). and then, i had a tbs interview, so i couldnt even go take a nap afterwards. but the interview actually was pretty fun. and then... tortilla soup for lunch! yes!! followed by my bio discussion. we got our tests back in there. yeah i totally got a 103 without even really trying... diversity and ecology definitely is the most bs of all the bio classes ive taken so far. and theres this guy in my bio class... i feel way bad because i cant remember his name... asked me to go to this founder's day banquet thingy at the hyatt this saturday. apparently its for some frat he's in (the name of which i cant actually remember now either... oooops. but there house is somewhere on 24th street so i think i can figure it out.) so yeah... he's not incredibly cute, but not horribly unattractive. and im probably being my way to fucking picky self. but i mean... a frat guy? meh... however, megan made me promise i'd go. so yeah. free meal at any rate, right?

check it out!
