Learning to Cope
Alright. I thought I was going to resurface tomorrow, but more work popped up to pull me back under. I'm told by the upper class(wo)men that April is just like this all the way through. So I suppose I should just suck it up and learn to stop sleeping.
An update:
Peanut butter documentary is progressing well. German still sucks. A- on my history paper--not thrilled. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, my father is in China with a bunch of college students. I think I did alright on my Geology exam. I now plan to take a shower and then do some more homework in bed. Plus I must call my brother...remind him to wish mother a happy birthday. Probably other things I should say. Um. Can you guess which president was shares my mother's birthday? This time I'm not fooling ya--there really is one. 10 cookies for the first one to figure it out.
PS- The L-Word is kind of weird. It took me about the first 1/3 of the show to figure out they were all lesbians. I'm pretty slow these days.
PPS- I'm totally lost on what I'm going to do this summer.

Corn Pops: The Breakfast of Me
Today has been a pretty okay day. It had it's ups and downs. But I'm in a good mood. Things seem possible. Is it really awful or really ironic that yesterday I had basically no responsiblities (nothing due today) and I was downcast and sad and today I watched Holocaust documentaries and I feel fine? I have no heart I guess. I don't know. Something in me refuses to allow that sort of thing to penetrate. Sort of like geology. Not that the two are at all similar.
Anyway. I got up at 6:50 this morning. My earliest ever! I needed a shower. Of course after the shower I crawled back into bed for awhile.... But then I went to breakfast and studied German. And went to Geology. Learned all about predicting volcanic eruptions. Then I worked on the ol' documentary a bit. A very little bit. Ah well. So I'll be killing myself all this week.... English was obviously watching Holocaust documentary. And now I am about to start all my homework! Aren''t you proud of me?

Anti-Atkins Stress Diet...
Two things. One I just ate an entire box of pasta. I think I'm going to die. And gain 30 pounds. And need a wide coffin.
Two. I'm back. And rather than being rested and ready to resume my studies I'm tired and ready for another vacation. I've just been stressing out since Thursday--when I remembered all the crap I have to do this week...next week...basically until I graduate/die.

Color me Red and Blue
I am really awful at dealing with embarassment. Ever since a certain incident a few days ago I have been in a perpetual state of embarassment. I feel like everything I say is stupid and everyone hates me. My self-confidence is completely blown, I want to hide and give up, I've been avoiding any situation that might involve any sort of confrontation or expectation from me. Somehow this feeling of embarassment is really one of fear. Though I'm not entirely sure what I'm afraid of. I guess it would be a fear of being alone, disliked, a fear of failure. So that's my psychoanaylsis of myself.
I have lots of other things to do, but I could probably take a moment to recall the crazy events of the past few days...hmm...what the heck did I do last weekend? Probably bad if I don't remember.
Oh wait. Friday I did some filming. Saturday I went to NY-- visited Ellis Island, ate Dim Sum. Sunday I did all my Sunday things. Except I watched the Oscars o'course. Not as good as I expected. Although, I now hunger to see many of those movies. Stupid little tid bits that intrige and entice!
Monday I went to 2 Bible studies. I know, I'm out of control. That was also the day of the incident that created the tight feeling in my chest that just won't go away. And I went to a cool lecture... Yay Women's History Month. And I went to the Lafayette meeting. AND I saw Harry Potter. I may or may not have fallen asleep towards the end... 12:30 is past my bedtime little friends!!!
Tuesday. I may or may not have gone to my first class....I may or may not have eaten a chocolate chip pancake gifted to me by one of my suitemates. German is killing me. KILLING ME. I have no fucking clue what's going on. I'm going to fail (read: get a B-) and then I'm going to cry. And cry. And cry. English was difficult as usual, not helped by the pervading sense of unworthiness that was and is hanging about me. I finally got some film logged and captured though. I also finished writing my stupid History paper!!!! And we had a McK Discussion. Which also didn't help my self-doubt.
Today. Geo ended 20 minutes early again. Is there really that little to say about volcanoes? *Shrug* Less for me to study over Spring Break. Went to German LAB. Very sad about replacement of basically entire cast on my German soap opera. It's a totally different show. With the same title. Do they really do that with soap operas? It's very weird.
This article is really not helping my self-esteem slow it's downward plumet. http://www.lafayette.edu/news.php/view/8400/

Holy Crap
Has it really been that long?? And I don't really have the time or energy to catch you up just now...the only thing I can really think about is the muscle I pulled in my neck somewhere between 5 and 6 this morning. Maybe it will get better...

Compute This!
Yesterday, somewhere between 4 and 4:30, my computer lost its OPERATING SYSTEM. Not something it should misplace. But long story short, everything is pretty much okay now thanks to some guy named Ryan. Isn't that the story of my life? ;-D

A Public Service Announcement:
How ever you use this information, I just really need some people to know this.
It's REVELATION not REVELATIONS. Just the one revelation really. Jesus coming back and all. Pretty important. And I am getting very irritated by people who publish books with this mistake. Especially when I am reading the book for class, and trying to use it to educate myself. How do I know this person didn't make other careless errors??
I think this has become my new pet peeve. Which is sort of interesting. Because I don't really buy into much of Revelation. I'm in the it's a code, or John was smoking something really really good camp. But it's such a stupid mistake! Don't make stupid mistakes little friends.
(Even though I'm sure this is littered with misspelling and grammatical errors...)

ROCKS!
The good:
I went rock climbing yesterday! It was a super fun time! I made it so almost close to the tippy top. Like one/one and half feet away. But I was really really scared, and my arms were shaking to hard to get a rock. I did it twice though. The first time I made it to the ridge right before the top--like 2 feet off the top, and then I started laughing/crying hysterically on the way down. So everyone was like "....get some water little friend...." But I did better the second time. And I'm going again tomorrow. :-D
(to clarify: our rock wall is 3 stories high)
The bad:
I did not do so well on my Geology Lab quiz. Stupid rocks.
And the ugly:
Okay. So I don't have a specific anecdote about ugly rocks, but just look at them! All muddy and brown!!
