mandey's world

i really should be writing my paper that's due in 4 hrs but i just can't. yea, i decided to skip all morning classes to write this paper. things came up yesterday and i never got around to writing. When i finally got the energy to write, the assignment sheet was nowhere to be found. I've attempted to write 'in the dark' but it bugged the heck out of me but now i have the paper courtesy of sheena. oh thank goodness for her! right now i am just antsy and am rolling ideas around in my head. I LOATHE greek mythology! I thought the torture was all over back in junior high/high school but NOOO. not in a happy mood about this class and there's no way i can drop it. It's a class that i HAVE to take with the ONLY professor that teaches it. You know how a book on tape sounds like? This guy probably did a few books on tape b/c he does the voice perfectly! So annoying and monotone.

Maya was AWESOME! She is such a funny and sweet woman. I am just so happy that i got to take a photo with her. It was like, wow! ok, geeky english nerd moment done. THe event was so good. I actually got most people to the right seats! go me!

11 days til spring break!! yea i have a count! if you don't then there's something wrong with you! for one of my classes, there's only 2 more classes til break! gotta love professors who have their own countdowns! lol. well i've procrastinated long enough..time to go back to torture.later all.

so technically my weekend doesn't start til tomorrow but i have made it to where i actually began yesterday! lol. tomorrow i have trig that i may not go to and then driving to irving to eat at the brazillian restaurant for portuguese. yummy! Then Maya on saturday. I'm so excited. Sunday i get to lock myself in my room and write my dumb paper for history of world lit. sucks to be me.

so i just got back from thrifting with my roommate and her friend and was able to find some good things. One thing i got was a 4 function calculater that i need when take the THEA test in a few weeks. it's so annoying that i have to buy a simple calc. for this one thing. I knew if i bought one at the store it was gonna cost me at least $5 well i only spent 2 and got other things with it. I also bought a couple of cute shirts:) i'm excited.

so i'm learning to use the cognitive approach and it's strange and interesting yet benificial. I've just been introduced to it and how to implement it in real life but I can slowly see how it works. Hopefully i'll become a pro at it eventually. Well it's time for mandey to go find something to do. later all

well actually, my meat says that. dinner was horrible! when the meat is all red..umm..yea. and from the looks of it, the chicken wasn't far from jumping off the plate either. please promise me that should i die of food poisoning that someone will make sure that Aramark gets sued! i really can't wait til i no longer have a meal plan and all i have to eat is frozen dinners and ramen. i welcome those days!

So, the next two years are planned out and as expected, i am set up to graduate May '08. If i take 9 hrs in the summer, i will be taking 12 hrs for the next 3 reg semesters and then 6 hr class my final semester which is residency. I am so stoked. All i need to do right now is get myself into gear and get ready for the THEA test. I am deathly afraid of the math section b/c we all know that my skills in that area are extremely limited. BUt anyways, yea, i have gotten things rolling w/the school of education and i really like the fact that they use transfer grades for gpa b/c it makes me feel SOO smart! w/out this past summer's 2 A's, my overall gpa by their standards is a 3.46...yea, smarty!

so it's 3am so you know what that means. ha..i'm procrastinating once again! 2 tests today and i haven't studied much...i am so crunch time oriented. It's extremely sad. well at least after these tests, all i have left is portuguese on friday. a short quiz there but other than that, nothing! does that mean sleeping? uh no..blue and white bash is coming up so we all know what that means! fun times to come. I can sleep when it's all said and done;) well later all

YAY for schedules! i feel as though i accomplished a LOT this week and yet i might not have but to me it seems like a LOT! I have had meetings with advisors, fixed classes and had staff stuff. And yet i still found time to have fun. POOOG is never ending! lol. oh and next week i finally get to meet with an education advisor and get information about what's to come in the next two years! Other than the usual bumps in the road this week has been great! Some new and interesting things going on in my life and it's crazy fun. co workers are awesome and i heart my roommates! well this is a weirded out post so i think i'm gonna get a going. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

say poogs high pitch and it is so freaking awesome! got in from retreat a little over 8 hrs ago and wow. bonding time was awesome. i roomed with some awesome girls and we had a wonderful time talking at all hours of the night making our bosses not be able to sleep. POOG! we are the PRANK QUEENS! once i get pics from laura and sheena, i will post all our pics b/c they were just that great. We wrote on and tp'ed one of our bosses cars and it was tons of fun sneaking out and doing the deed. we gave it to him as a birthday present! wrapped up and all:)

fun names for everyone! grandma, mom, kids, heifers, good poogs, bad poogs, dead poogs...the list goes on and on. fun times pranking the guys but people got retarded and took things stupidly so we bowed out gracefully and had our own fun in our room and then played with our bosses. everyone else saw us. They were so jealous. dang i would be too if i didn't get coke and cookies! we are so special. We had some great girl talk all weekend...then everyone disappointed us by their lame prank. gosh, we expected more since they had over 10 people putting it together..i can't believe it took them that long to think it out..oh gosh. well it was nice to get away for a while. I got absolutely NO homework done this weekend and i just realized that i slept through the super bowl...oh wells...well time to get back to the real world...later kiddies

THE COOL PEOPLE'S CLUB-Lindsey(PC Grandma), Laura(Mommy), Sheena (Kiddie), Me(Kiddie), this is right after we left our boss his present all over his car!

after days of stress and anxiety, my housing has all finally cleared up for the most part. stupid freaking bursar's office. i don't like them. I like the nice lady who works there but no one else. I HEART the nice lady in the housing office who has adjusted housing payments for me. all this financial crap has been so stressful but my scholarship finally went through. There wasn't any chance of me getting kicked out of housing b/c i work in the hall but just having to deal with all the different offices going from one to another and back again. Yea, NOT FUN AT ALL. i'm glad that it's over...maybe.

highlight of a horrible day: buying some cute shoes! yea, i know. i really hate shoe shopping but i saw them and i just couldn't resist especially with the voice of sheena telling me to live a little. lol
highlight of the week: talks with my "nun" lol..fun times:)

well i think enough time has passed for the dryers to be open so i can dry my clothes and get to packing for the weekend. There will be tons of pictures to come b/c this weekend's gonna be awesome! 20 PCs; no MOLS and a camp all to ourselves. can it get any better? uh...NO. have a great weekend!
