Life is not fair. But it is still good.

Today I had to take Rutherford to get checked out, the malfunction indicator light went on a few days ago so I figured something was wrong. After waiting an hour and a half doing my homework for after spring break I got some news. Nothing was wrong with him. NOTHING. Basically I spent 100 dollars to have them turn off a light. Thanks. I was annoyed. It a) shouldn't have cost that much b) taken that long and c) the light shouldn't have come on in the first place. Crappy.

Alas I have decided that I need shrug if off. WHY? Because overall, life is good. I got a head start on my homework. I am done with midterms. I am going to Florida in a day to play amazing golf courses. I am allowed to wear jeans or sweatpants if I want to. I have enough (too much) food to eat.

See? Life is good. It might not always be fair. But looking at that list I just made I think it is safe to say that if life was fair it would suck more.

So Close!

Spring Break is so close! I can barely handle it!

I went to health services today and they told me I could have gastritis. So I am on my way to an ulcer. haha The causes are taking too many pain pills and drinking alcohol. Not that I do that... my case could be due to stress or bacteria... although I was told to stay away from ibuprofen and alcohol. She also told me not to have spicy foods and caffeine. TOTALLY bummed me out. Even more so because me and the girls are going out to chipotle. yippee.

Anyway my friend took this picture of my hometown!

What does an ulcer feel like?

Seriously though, should I consult web MD? Because every time I eat I get a really bad stomach ache in the same spot. It feels like the left side of my stomach is burning. I'm too young to die!

whhhaaaaa!

call the wambulance.

Ok so web MD says that an ulcer would be pain between my belly button an my breast bone... my pain is to the left of that... so I am ulcer free?

I just want to lay down....

Alas I have a philosophy test tomorrow... plus a conditioning assessment and lots of reading homework for my other classes... gah.

"The Other Conquest"

Remember the days when the could only show you PG-13 movies in school? I'm beginning to miss those days. Tonight for one of my favorite classes we had to watch a movie on our own time about the Spanish conquest of Mexico. I thought it would be really interesting. Parts of it were... other parts I think will give me nightmares.

The following took place in this movie

-Human sacrifice... they showed everything.

-a yucky battle... not too bad, just a few too many limp/bloody bodies

-rape

-public lashing

-forced conversion

-decapitation

-incest (seriously they showed everything....)

-resulting pregnancy from afore mentioned incest

-suicide

-general craziness

-cave wanderings

-obsession with the Virgin Mary

WHAT? I mean, really, I gained very little from this film. And I am not really sure what we will be discussing in class...

President's Ball

Ladies and Gentlemen, we survived President's ball! 9 hours of exciting bus rides, dancing, eating, drinking and pictures. P-ball, as we like to call it on the hill, is a dance for the student body and a "chance for the college community to come together" or at least that's what President Jack said at the beginning.

Basically we danced a lot and got sweaty. My feet hurt today but that just tells me that I was a dancing machine last night! Also I consider last night a success because I DID NOT fall down the stairs and make a total fool out of myself like last year. WIN!

CREEPING.

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

Being of Irish ancestry I am a big fan of this magical little holiday. PLUS I actually know what Saint Patrick did. SO HA! The myth is that he expelled all the snakes from the Island of Ireland.... which is probably false... but hey, they have to have a few miracles in order to be canonized and I'd say thats a pretty good miracle to have on your list of miracles (heck I don't even have a list of miracles, unless you count that A I got in bio). Young Patrick was captured by Irish pagans and then somehow found himself returned to the continent. Then HE CAME BACK to Ireland and spread the word of God and christianized that nation. Thus becoming the patron saint of Ireland. The Irish do celebrate this day but not in the same way Americans do. They don't really get drunk off of green beer or parade around in green clothing. I think they go to church.

... yay Ireland.

Back to the title. I am in the library, although I finished my homework hours ago. I saw my friend P in some bio/nature class walking around campus. It appears that they were looking at trees... at least they were gesturing at the trees a lot. Being the creep that I am I decide to text P. "LOOK AT ALL THE TREEEEES" clever am I not? Its fun to watch him grab his phone and then look around in a somewhat paranoid way.... Gotcha.

ok ok so my life is a little dull if I have to get myentertainment from being the campus creep. society be damned! I will creep away and enjoy it.

By the way...

Turns out I promised a goal list in my first blog. Totally spaced that one eh?

OK so here it goes

1. Lose Weight, be fit and happy with my body

-Point of interest, I gave up calling myself fat or complaining about my looks for lent, I really need a better body image!

2. Get a 3.5 gpa simple enough but I still need to study a lot (and consequently not spend so much time on the internet.

3. Go to nationals, and PLAY, not just be the sweaty and dehydrated extra team member.

4. Slowly give up coffee. So far I have been coffee free for almost a week.

5. Get enough sleep and stay healthy, nobody likes a sicky.

6. Write a card or letter at least once a week.

7. Read a book every month for fun.

8. Call my family members more than once a week.

Sounds good to me!
