This Makes Me Smile...

...because I totally agree with it (as will many of you...) and think that all schools should have this as their voicemail. Teach people some repsonsibiliy and to stop blaming schools because they have bad parents.

New Segment: "SMILE! You're on Candid Campus!"

So now that I have a schhhhweet camera phone I find myself taking picture of all the stuff I encounter around campus that either make me smile, laugh, cry, or think of certain people. So I've decided to add some of it to my blog. Please keep in mind these are cell phone pictures, so the quality will be crappy. But it's the content that matters anyway...

"311"

Some creative 311 desk graffiti from my psych desk, taken for a friend of mine who loves the band...

"Aida Rocks"

Some writing in the grime on the window of some greenhouse back by the gym. Taken for my BFF who stage managed a production of the show 'Aida.' Plus this is just a freaking weird thing to writing on a window.

"Old Woman'

She was just so cute, technically not on campus, but spotted while on a campus bus. She was just hanging outside the mall knitting. Adorbs.

Anyone with contributions of oddities spotted around campus (any campus will do!) text me them! But I want ones you've taken, not ones offline! With explanations!

Welcome to the Weekend

Technically not yet, but it is officially Friday, whooohoooo! Only two more hours of class then I'm FREE! Today I learned:

• I'm an apple-dumpling virgin.
• That drawing a staircase is quite hard
• That karma, despite any previous notion of us being friends, it actually a huge b*tch. Like, legit, karma. I thought we had something special. Apparently not.
• That I need to get to the gym and get my awesome Wellness journal signed.
• That teaching oneself on the piano is not as easy as I tried to convince myself it would be.
• It takes a lot of work to put music notes on a staff in Microsoft Word.
• I miss people, a lot.
• Apple day is awesome. I love apples!!
• Nothing is better than receiving a surprise package, except receiving a surprise package of COOKIES!
• I have the best friends EVER.
• I want to go home and be Arwen for Halloween so badly now!
• That I really should go to bed soon, but I won't....
• That South Park just isn't as good as it used to be.
• That my roommate has not seen Star Wars or LOTR. Which I must remedy as soon as possible.
• They're making an Avatar movie. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't kind of excited.
• The cleaning ladies here make shady ticket deals.
• That someday (apparently) I'm going to be a famous art teacher who runs all sorts of trendy up-and-coming NYC galleries in my spare time (right, Ashley?).

Other than that, not too much new. However, I would like to warn everyone that my one of my best friends is visiting and not to expect too much from me on the blogging front. Do however prepare yourself for an up and coming segment...and by up and coming I mean I have no idea when I'll get around to it.

In other news: some news. This explains why my life has always been so difficult...*over dramatic sigh*

Something to Ruin Your Childhood

So, before this goes a step further, let me assert that I am such a HUGE fan of Disney. I want to be an Imagineer more than anything in the world, I kick butt at Disney Scene It, I can quote almost every movie...you get it. But despite all that I still think that these pieces are INCREDIBLE. Disturbing, but incredible. Take the time to really check out all the details in each one. Granted you can see them through your tears...


You still want to see them? Okay fine, don't say I didn't warn you.

Mad props to this guy, some of the best art is that which is confined to the Internet...g'night all/

Wacky Wednesday

So, I'd like to start tonight's double entry with one of the best quotes I've heard in awhile from someone who spends many a late night next to me (at a desk of course people....).

"Writing a paper single spaced is like walking on the beach
in the dark, it never feels like you get anywhere."

Deep thoughts from the quad, right there...love the roomies!!

So more thoughts for today. Yesterday and today I learned...

• That Kayla has no sense of smell!!!! That's right folks believe it! I was just as amazed as you were...
• That fortune cookies are awesome. Well, I didn't actually learn that today, I knew it already. But I was reminded today...
• That other people noticed me nodding off in design...luckily not the prof though.
• That audio critiques do not get any less harsh after you know they're coming.
• That I do in fact have pictures of all my artwork on my computer! They're even still on my PowerPoint portfolio that I had to submit here...
• That men's soccer is a wonderful thing to behold (again, not freshly learned, but reiterated).
• That I actually understand music.
• That I like design. I had forgotten until we actually got to work on projects during class and the weren't stupid.
• That the Galley serves kick-ass breakfast sandwiches.
• That I should expect to receive a package sometime in the near future.
• Naps are not, as previously asserted on this blog, the enemy. In fact they can be very, very wonderful when taken in moderation.
• That I should not trust Kayla to tell me if there's a skunk around (see lesson number one).
• Jenny G is the best journalist/creeper ever.
• That the campus costume shop is BALLIN.' To the MAX! Like, if you've not been there yet, GO. And take me with you! It's only $35 to rent a costume! For as long as you need it!
• That wellness actually gives tests. LAAAAAAAAAAAAME.
• Sometimes college profs wear fish hats to class. Sometimes both of them do. And sometimes it's not really for that legit of a reason but is funny anyway.
• Sarah Palin is writing a memoir.
• I now have a new mission in life. Tis most noble of quests involving setting aflame every copy of a certain memoir....
• Just kidding, I'm not book burner. As the great Ray Bradbury once said, "There are worse crimes than burning books, one of them is not reading them."
• The Renn Faire is only 45 minutes from here.
• That it frequently looks like it's going to rain here, but it usually holds off.
• Some people actually like "Jon & Kate Plus 8." Really?
• That sometimes fortune smiles down upon us and Ray-J ventures for a random jaunt down our hall when we all happen to be out there...<3
• That soccer fans here (particularly parents) get very....animated...at games.
• That all my days run together and I have not a clue what I did yesterday, which explains why I have to write every day or else all my valuable wisdom will be lost to you all!

OMG!

So yesterday was the first day in my two week relationship with this blog that I have not posted lessons for the day *gasps, childen screaming, chaotic noises.* I know, I know, horrible, terrible, unreliable, lazy....what was I thinking? I'll tell you what I was thinking, I was thinking a few things, but first and formost I was thinking I have a wellness test at 9:00am tomorrow and I'd really like to get to bed before 1am, which is my usual bedtime/blogging time. And I did. I went to bed at 12:30.

But, as an apology to everyone who actually cares that I skipped one day, not only will there be twice the lessonage packed into today's blog, I will also leave you to amuse yourselves with this video, which is probably the cutest freaking thing you've seen in awhile (unless you've seen me in recently...)

P&B y'all, P&B!

Word of the Week

microvisit: (noun) [my-crow-viz-it] the real-world equivalent of microblogging. Stopping by to talk to someone for 140 seconds or less.
ex: "Have you talked to Mike lately?" "Just a couple of microvisits last week"

Sighted Around Campus! New Celebs!

So for those of you who I haven't told six times (Jen-nay...), our newest celeb look alike spotted on campus is:

Samwise Gamgee! Spotted by the black team while scavaging across campus. Last spotted: doing YMCA, signing autographs, trekking through Middle Earth, chillin' with Ray-J (or should I say Frodo?)

Everyone keep your eyes peeled, apparently we're a hotbed for famous people incognito...

I Hate Mondays

Cutting right to the chase, today I learned:

• The laundry room again proves itself to be a wonderful place to hang out.
• Three hour naps are the most glorious yet terrible creatures, now I'm tired but have no desire to sleep. DAMN YOU NAPS!
• My quad kicks ass. My roommates are awesome!
• Some people are just flat out rude.
• That I haven't had real Chinese food for so long that the imitation stuff from UD tastes legit.
• That I like psychology, es specially now that we're moving into genetics and developmental!
• That my AP Bio has now been of use in both my Psych and Wellness classes (never thought I'd say this, but thanks Devlin.)
• That dryers are the best invention since sliced bread.
• That although they tell you Fridays and Sundays are the worst for laundry, Monday's no picnic either.
• That sometimes all you need is a little techno.
• There's no quad in 2C!
• That we should totally have a quiddich league! AU did it! http://www.theeagleonline.com/news/story/quidditch-club-sweeps-au-students-off-their-feet1

It's late, as usual, and I'm not tired but at a bit of a loss for words. My brain feels like exploding from having to read and encode like seven chapters of various subjects. So now I'm going to go and listen to some mind numbing Basehunter and whittle the night away on facebook. P&B all, P&B!
