What is your colour?

So, I'm very proud of myself... I went on a 20 minute jog tonight (although i was told 15 ~_^) with Jon. I did it! woo. And he made me stretch, so maybe I won't be uber sore tomorrow... :)

I put the tube lights up in curlicues around my bed since it would obviously be weird if they went under my bed ;) but yeah, I think it looks cool. Sorta art deco or whatever. Although I was shocked at the unloftablility of my bed, I think I'm getting used to it (although, I'm actually wishing I had a laptop so that my computer didn't have to take up so much space in this little room). I am sad about losing my breakfast nook... it would've been nice... ohh well.

So.. I'm at school now... I am very pleased. Although, it wound up that the bed in my room is not loftable... but it's all good. Things are turning out relatively well :)

First day of classes was pretty cool today. Management wasn't boring (although it looks as though it will be a lot of hard ass work) and I am absolutely excited for my Professional Comm class... apparently we are going to be doing lots of visual design, including web design, so I'm psyched.

Econ was, well, alright. At least it's Olsh so it's amusing. Research methods wasn't pull-your-hair-out boring, but at least i don't have to get up early for it, hehe.

And... no classes (except piano & choir) tomorrow!

Eep! I've been packing/stuffing the cars all day... still not done. I think I've done a good job of bringing pretty much only what I need... except in the matter of clothes. I always overpack clothes... doesn't matter where I'm going or what I'm doing. So yeah, clothes are taking up a lot of room.

So... Glar [dining hall] supposedly changed their menu. This could be good or bad... knowing Glar, it's probably bad. Although, it has to be better than dry, fatty meat; undercooked, bloody meat (even poultry!); cole slaw on everything- from grilled cheese (?) to hamburgers (?!) to toasted subs (?!!). The cole slaw thing disturbs me the most- you go to get a normal looking sandwich, then BAM! You bite into a pile of nastiness (I actually like coleslaw, but why put it on a HOT sandwich where it doesn't belong?). Knowing our luck, they probably changed the dessert menu, the only good thing about Glar. Heck, they already took away my favorite fruit and nut muffins. *sigh*. Wait and see, I guess.

I'll be leaving (hopefully) in 12 hours.

So, right now, I really wish I were at school. Mostly because I have a headache, and at school it would be no big deal... because then I'd be able to just shut myself in my room by myself with my food, work, and internet. Alas... I am at home. And therefore, food and internet are both outside the quiet confines of my room.

41 hours till school... 41 hours till school...

I can't wait.

I need to pack though...

So, for some reason, I have this urge... (to herbal? no) to create something ... or something like that. I'm not really quite sure. I just have this feeling like I need to do something... productive? Maybe. Strange. I think what I want to do is make a new layout for my blog... Mmmm, new layout.

Wow, that is a lot of random babble.

So I went shopping w/ my mom today to get some things for school. Do you realize how hard it is to find plastic melamine plates (that's that durable corelle type plastic)? Well, it's hard. Apparently. I thought that it wouldn't be- we went to Target and I couldn't find a single plastic plate nor bowl. In Target. I was greatly surprised. So we ran all over the place trying to find plastic plates, and finally found some suitable ones and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Thank goodness. Now I have plates, smaller plates, bowls, and mugs for my breakfast nook (which became a concept after I found the dishware). I am fond of the breakfast nook idea. I think it'll be a quaint place... the sun streaming in my window (through the curtains we got), sitting in my chair, reading for class, eating a bagel.. maybe some cream of wheat... off my plasticware :) Wee! I feel so much more organized this year than I ever had before.

I am so excited. I can't wait to see how it all turns out... :)

Well, the concert was really great :) Except for the long wait to exit... but eh, it wasn't too bad. It was nice outside and everyone was being nice and cool about everything. John Mayer sounds great live, but he does this weird ass tongue thing while he's singing. It's really strange. Counting Crows were great too :) I'm not as familiar with their work, but it was awesome all around.

Oh! And yesterday, I found my perfect fragrance. Jon and I were at the mall with his mom and his brother, and we were wandering around the perfume section of Boscov's... and after all the perfumes L'Interdit was perfect. Because I need something light that's not sweet smelling. I was amazed at the amount of sugary-sweet dessert smelling perfumes. It's actually rather sickening. And I can't wear anything heavy because it just doesn't fit.. and it's hard to find something light that we both like. But L'Interdit was good. We both agreed on it, hehe.

Cleaned up my car today :) Now it isn't a realm of pretzel crumbs and dust like how it was after my dad got through with it ... hehe. Armor all is the best stuff. I could even get the spots off the carpet (or most of the spot... sometimes there was a slight stain still there). Yay pretty car. Now I just need to get a couple of mats for the front seats... because they are grody.

Whee! Only (less than) a week left till moving in :)

So I'm now trying to figure out what things I need for college, what things I don't need but want to have, and what things I never use and therefore don't need to fill up valuable space in my 9x5 box (view outdated room picture... my layout ideas have changed). Eep! Reminds me... need to email the RLC and tell them that I need my bed lofted... I'd rather not do it myself. Because, yes, I've decided to loft my bed, and this time I am putting my desk under there. It should be interesting- hopefully I won't hit my head too much :p

Can't wait for the concert on friday :) It should be awesome :)

Ahh fun end of the week. Thursday night was awesome- Woohoo Diana's 21st! It was a lot of fun, though I wished I could've danced with my chico. Then after we got back from the club (around 3ish) we went to denny's for some pick-me-up food. Spent the night in Kari's room.. slept like a rock... then got up at around 11.45 to start heading home... Spent yesterday just veggin around, then last night I finished backing up the files on my computer.. and reformatted it. back to scratch. because it needed it... badly. So now it's pretty much like new... I've got most of my files back on there now.. but I don't htink I'm going to put as much stuff on it as I had before... but we'll see how that goes.

I'm excited for school.. it was so neat to be back there. I love it when the campus is drenched in sunshine and it feels fresh and new and inviting. It's exciting :) I felt so energized just being there. That'll last for about two weeks after classes start, lol.

So I FINALLY put up the new design for my website. You should check it out, it's very cool... although I must say, for once, it actually (desing wise) looks better when using netscape rather than IE... no big things, just little things that I probably notice more than anyone else would.

Umm... went out erranding today :) It was nice to be able to do that... and not work! woo! Stopped by Staples to get a school calendar... I got a daily one w/ the hours on it. I think it'll help me plan out my days so that I can use time more effectively.... or something like that. We'll see how long I keep up with it. I also got those cord holders so that you can move cords around the room w/o duct tape (which is always falling down anyways). Which reminds me that I need to get poster hang tab things.

Tomorrow going up to celebrate Diana's b-day! Woo! I have a life after all! Hehe... It'll be fun :)

I miss my Jon. A lot.

(and just because I miss him doesn't mean I'm a whipped little male-dominated girl who has no voice for herself. It means I love him)

Probably doesn't help that I've been reading books that have a romantic edge to them... not romance novels per se... I really don't enjoy reading about somebody's throbbing organ or whatever. Granted, there's passion, and love, and sex... but not in a lewd tremely graphic way. It makes me think of Jon... because, honestly, everytime I read one of those novels, I'm struck because I think- wow that's Jon and I! I think it's funny... I apparently have the man that repressed women all over america lust after ;) To me, Jon and I have the perfect companionship... we can always talk to each other, and we are always willing to hear what the other has to say. We rarely argue, and we both think of ourselves as... well, a team I guess. I love us - not just him, but the relationship we have... and we are very happy. Go us. :)

Happy sappy entry.

So, I have a grand total of TWO DAYS working this week. Hee hee. Last week working. Last two days. No more shoes for the rest of the semester!! And I'm working 5.30-10.30 today, and 12.30-something tomorrow. Then I'm OUTTA there. *sigh*

Of course, I have been thinking a lot about going back to school lately. I am very excited. I hope that I will be a little less hermit-like this year in my single, reach out more to other people, and have a lot of fun :) In between school work. Jon gave me my list for books, but, alas, it was slightly hard to decode (I'm sure he had some pattern/system for it, but it was slightly confusing). Apparently I have THREE econ books. Can you believe it?! Suddenly that class looks a little intimidating. My professional comm class book is a "guide to technical writing". I think that might be useful... my dad's always talking about technical writers for proposals and stuff. So I could probably do something like that if all else fails. And.. hmm... there's one book each for my 2 research methods classes... And there's "challenges for tomorrow's leaders"! for Management. But I don't think that class will be too, too boring... well, at least because Carter is teaching it, and I've heard good things about the guy. And then there's the Theatre class, which oughta be pretty fun :) Hopefully it won't turn into a "God class" phenomenon. Yar.

I am very excited for this semester. Fall semester is always WAY better than spring sem.

I had this strange dream last night... I was locked in this room, by these other people... I don't know why I was "jailed" or whatever. But these other people had me and a few others locked in there. I remember that there were different classes of us people who were locked up, and my group was called... something I can't remember, but I remember associating a puffy white cloud or something with the word. We were angry because the people who kept us locked up thought we were children, but we weren't, we were just small (or something like that). And apparently, they didn't give us enough food. There were two "guards" a woman and a man. The woman was a little more lenient, and when she opened the door, I ran out into this cafeteria type place and started gorging myself on all the food there in the salad bar/buffet line thing.. like potato salad and other assorted food. The last thing I picked up were like 3 halves of a grilled cheese sandwich, and about that point, the more strict guy-guard was returning and made me return the grilled cheese, but I asked if I could have one bite, and he said yes. So I had one bite of grilled cheese and went back into the room. I remember I was laying down and Jon came in, but we couldn't "do" anything because it wasn't allowed, because they thought we were children. And I was raving about that, and my grandma looked at me (for some reason she was there, sort of). And a was a little embarassed but it didn't stop me from raving... and I think I woke up then. Although I kept falling back to sleep and kept dreaming in the same scenario. I think the reason I don't like getting up in the morning is because my mind likes dreaming. Yeah, I guess that sounds a little nutty too... but it makes sense to me.
