School is almost out...

.... and I cannot fucking wait!

I'm getting so sick of school it is becoming dangerous. I don't want to study for my finals (especially the one I have Thursday) and all I want to do is be a vegetable all day.

Lazy week.

Final Project

"Now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little beautiful, wonderful, all American girl."

That's stuck in my head, how sweet! I finished my C&I final project this evening and am publishing it to youtube. I hope my professor and everyone I show it to likes it. I worked so hard and it really came together nicely.

Next on the agenda? Study for the Women's Lit test. Big time studying. But I'm not quite sure what to study. That class simply makes me angry. I do not understand how one person, my professor, can be so peculiar and such a bad teacher. Ugh! It's a terrible class. I pity anyone who has her in the future.

Nature.... Beautiful Nature

Yesterday was absolutely wonderful. I spent the entire morning, from seven fifteen to almost noon, taking the basic skills test in the auditorum of a gym. Fun. But this is what I do not understand about this test. First of al, it was pretty easy, much easier then the ACT, which I had to take to et into ISU. So, why am I taking an easier test then the ACT to prove to ISU, who has my ACT score, that I am not an idiot? Anyway.

Bobby and I then went kayaking with some friends and it was absolutely wonderful. I have not been outside like that, just connecting (lame, yes) in a very, very long time. We watched the sunset and enjoyed the stars on the water. It began a little windy but got pretty calm making for a truly wonderful evening.

Pretty easy week this week!

Blessed Fridays and My Summer Job

This post is coming to your from Bobby's computer because I feel like writing. We are supposed to be going kayaking, but the weather isn't that great, s we are going tomorrow evening. This way, I also do not have to worry about being tired before my basic skills test tomorrow..... good thing. I'm sort of nervous about this thing, but everyone says it is easy. Hopefully, it'll be no big deal, just time consuming.

Mom and Britt visited Bradly today to see if Britt would like going there. Apparently, she did not like the girls there, go Bradly is out. I told her that girls will annoy her anywhere she goes, but she insists that MSOE's arent all prissy and bitchy.

In grammar today, our professor was not there so our TA took over the class. Today we were supposed to be working in groups, testing our knowledge in what we're learning and diagramming sentences together, figuring this stuff out. Instead, the TA spent most of the period talking about we have learned, reviewing with us. She then preceded to give us the answers to the sentences which none of us wanted. It really pissed everyone of, but I learned t tune her out after a little while.

I found out the other day that I got the YMCA job, and I am so freaking happy about it!

YouTube

I'm just discovering this miniworld that is YouTube. I cannot believe how these people make wonderful videos and get all these people to watch them. It's really quite awesome. I have put up a few videos that I've made for fun, but mys sister has put up a ton of videos that are entirely amazing. So, I've been thinking about starting a vlog over the summer. Maybe not. I dunno, fun thought.

I'm reading The Godfather right now for fun and it really is quite wonderful. Bobby got me into the movies, but the book is just as good, if not better, then the movies. It definitely deserves a read if you enjoyed the movies. The whole story is outstanding, but it is also remarkable at how closely they kept to the book while making the first movie. They are only missing a few things in the movies, but they are rather unimportant things. So, I recommend The Godfather with full confidence that almost any reader would enjoy it.

Camp

Alright..... BIG BEEF!!

So, I applied for a summer job at Camp Winnebago through the YMCA, and I am supposed to hear back soon, but they seem so slow over there, like it takes calling them about a million times to see if I'm actually getting the job. Thing is, I really want this job, I think it would rock, so I keep in contact so that they know I am ridiculously interested.

But now, I have to decide when I should call next. This morning, they just called my reference so that means all their work is done, now they just have to make the decision. Hopefully it will be a yes, but I'm not sure if I should call to pick up the pace or what. Hmmmm.....

Obsessions

So, you know how people have crazy obsessions and their entire life basically revolves around that obsession? Well, it's been getting me thinking, what am I obsessed with? Do I have an obsession? Should I have an obsession? I guess my obsessions are not full blown, but I have things I passiononatly care for. For instance, tea. I love tea and learning about how it is healthy and what other things are healthy for you. So, I guess that's one, I wonder what else.

Another obsession of mine has to be reading. I love it, especially when it is fun reading. Next, has to be school work. This is an odd one, I love projects that I can work on over large periods of time that allow me to play with paint and work really hard. Nerdy? Maybe, ok, definently.

But above all these has to be Bobby, not to say that I'm obsessed with him per say (that's unhealthy). But our relationship is the most important thing in my life, it is, of course, not my whole life, but he means the world to me. After all, who gets lucky enough to have their best friend with them all the time and be able to look forward to a future together. I will always be me, but I love having him in my life so that I can share everything that I am with him and get everything I can from him.

Thoughts from a thoughtful mind

You know how you have a favorite movie, one you can turn to when you need something in the background, something you know well, something you love? Well, you know what mine is? The Princess Diaries, yeah. I know. But I've watched it for years this way and love how I can easily watch it online on one of the may post tv-links sites created after the world ended (when tv-links shut down). This movie puts me in a good mood and quite simply makes the work go by quicker, its lovely and a plausible fairytale. Lame? Maybe, likely, but I'm not embarrassed to say it because it's a part of me.

I wondered when I would get to this point where I could be happy being me, loving the things I love, happily living the life that I have. Well, I've reached it. Odd, too, as I am close to the great maroon wave. This is not to say that I was not in this mindset before, but now, I actually have realized it. I have a personality, different than anyone I know and am proud of that. I am happy with myself, and it's wonderful.

I am so sorry that was so gussy, but I was just thinking about that the other evening over dinner. I am now off to see how I can make this blog more personalized.

Happy reading, and watch your grammar.
Love,
Dani
