GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Today I had my Fluid Mechanics test. Definitely failed that one. It was open book! I knew what to look for in my notes, but at the same time, I don't think I had what I was looking for in my notes. So I sort of screwed myself up.
Then again, I should have known this stuff from the beginning. I mean, that's the whole point of open-book tests. Knowing what you're doing as well as knowing what you're looking for helps....A LOT.
Ughh...it's always the fall semester where I feel really dumb. Wednesday was truly a gift from God...the prob/stats test was friggin easy. Yes! But, of course, something had to give. Unfortunately, it had to be my Fluids Test. I'm already upset that I failed the Atmospheric Environments by one point. ONE. WTF WINDSOR?!?!
I'm fine. lol.
So this means that I'm not doing so well in 2 classes. Fluids actually matters. I mean, c'mon! The atmosphere, fluid mechanics...yeah they're pretty much best friends. Great.
Atmospheric Environments...not so much. Find the concentration of CO2 in the air. Go! NO! I'm a meteorologist! I only care about what's happening in the atmosphere. As long as there is rain falling, lightning striking, and tornadoes/hurricanes pwning, I'm happy. I don't care about your environmental issues stuff. We're all going to die anyway! Yay Existentialism. xD
Synoptic Meteorology is the class I'm actually doing well in. We'll see what happens when THAT midterm comes up. Oh boy. :P
I'm always doing hw. ALWAYS. I need to seriously reorganize my life. There are 24 hours a day; maybe 4-5 hours I actually spend in class. On average, I get 5-6 hours of sleep. What the hell am I doing the rest of the day? Ok wait. Oh yeah, working/organizations/studying. Ok, it didn't take me just today to find out I don't have a life. Then again, school is my #1 priority. As long as I'm not socially awkward, we're good. lol. But anyway, all of that studying can't be going to waste. It just CAN'T!
Yeah, so I need to figure out something, and QUICK!, because I can't afford to fail anymore tests. I need higher than a 3.0 this semester...MUCH higher. Dr. Laz says I need all of my GPAs from now on to be above and beyond a 3.0. He also said he was proud of me because I'm so studious and I'm getting good grades. (yeah, that's right I'm already thinking about grad school). Right now, I have a 3.0. I don't want this semester messing me up. I think Fall Break is going to be devoted to studying...then again I think I already saw that coming.
OH! My birthday was SWEEEEEEEET. (It was Sept 29, btw). Yeah, I got new movies (Escape to Witch Mountain/Return From Witch Mountain, Big Daddy, Mr. Deeds, Star Wars III, Love Actually, etc), 4 boxes of Oreos, Bouncing Balls, Superman Cards *SQUEEEEEE*, a frog mask, airheads, an Indy 4 Shia LaBeouf Poster (rgnaejklgbnrjakgtngajt OMGHE'SSOHOT), I forget what some of the other presents there were (A tub full of balloons--that's actual present. <33333), but they were random and awesome, and because ALL of my friends have a sick sense of humor: 2 penis shaped straws, 2 penis shot glasses, aaaaaaaand like 12 condoms. wow. thanks guys. How's that for awkward turtle?
But yeah, my friends rock my socks.
Random Somewhat political related tidbit:
Forget Obama! I'm voting Clark Kent (which btw, according to my new userpic I found, looks a lot like the Obama campaign sign. Umm, does this mean Obama= Black Superman? lmao! Ok I'm done. hahahahaha.)

Fortune Teller by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss |
] |
There was a card game my friends and i were fond to playing... it was a silly fortune teller game. i just remembered it now for the first time in years because i found a list of questions we would usually ask for it.
let me explain it. first you pick out all of the kings in the deck, and assign each of them as one of four crushes you have (use celebrities if you cannot come up with four real live crushes).
(HK) (DK) (SK) (CK)
(HK = king of hearts. DK= king of diamonds... so forth)
then hold the cards out to the person with the cards faced down, and tell them to pick out four cards (but they cant look at them). take them and put them off to the side for now. Then you deal out four cards face down below each king.
Now, the person receiving the fortune has to ask questions. i have a whole list of them:
( List of Questions! )
after each question, you'd flip over the top card, and whichever suit came up, that card would go to the correlating King. So, say you asked "Who fantasizes about me?" and the top card was a Diamond suit, then it would go to the Diamond King. That would be your answer. After each answer, you'd have to lay down another four cards face down below each king. in the end, that pile becomes the fortune for each crush.
(HK) (DK) (SK) (CK)
(HA) (DA) (SA) (CA)
(FD) (FD) (FD) (FD)
(HK= King of Hearts. DK = King of Diamonds. SK = King of Spades. CK= King of Clubs. HA = Heart Answer Cards. DA= Diamond Answer Cards. SA = Spade Answer Cards. CA = Club Answer Cards. FD= Face down pile)
this repeats until all the cards have been used up. each face down pile should be even if you were doing it right, with about nine cards (i believe it's eight questions). choose your questions wisely.
Once all the cards have been used up, you pick up a pile that belongs to a king, and you start organizing the suits.
Hearts = Love
the more hearts you have in your hand, the more that person will love you.
Diamonds = Money
the more diamonds you have in your hand, the more wealthy that person will become.
Spades = Sex Per Week
The mores spades you have in your hand, the more times per week you'll have sex.
Clubs = Children
The amount of clubs you have in your hand is the number of children you'll have with that person.
(for all 3+ of any suit is good, with the possible exception of clubs depending on your personal preference.)
do this for each King.
EX: Say you picked up the King of Heart's pile. it had 2 Hearts, 3 diamonds, 3 spades, and 2 clubs.
2 hearts means that guy loves you. (if it's zero cards, he has no feelings for you. one card, he'll only like you. two cards, he's infatuated with you, three he loves you, four he really loves you, and five+, he's your soul mate).
3 diamonds means he's got a good job. (zero cards means he's homeless, and jobless. one card, means he's Lower class. two cards means hes middle class. three cards means he's upper middle class, four cards, he's upper class and rich. five cards+... he's one of the 10 wealthiest people in the world.)
3 spades means you two will have sex three times a week. (zero means no times a week... one is one time a week...etc)
2 clubs means you'll have two kids. (zero means childless. one means one kid... etc)
After each fortune for each crush has been read, pick up the four cards you've put off to the side at the beginning of the game.
the first card you turn over is the person you have a crush on. (we later amended this to person you'll become engaged to, because you know who you have a crush on... all of them!)
the second card you turn over is the person who has a crush on you.
the third card is the person who is the best at sex.
the fourth card is the person you will marry.
and thats the game. it's super fun, and completely immature. i just came across the list i would keep with my cards and everyday after school ex-best friend and i would do each other's fortunes. Rest assured, a lot of the risque questions came from her. a lot of the pure questions came from South Dakota Friend. Most of the romantic questions were mine.
i just wanted to share my little game.

Into the West by Annie Lennox |

QUICKIES:
1. i finished Carrie just fine. The book's not really all that scary... but really dramatic. I relate it to how i felt when reading Sybil by Flora Rheta Schrieber. A true story about multiple personalities disorder about a woman, Sybil, who had the record number (at the time) of 16 separate personalities. She was repeatedly traumatized as a child which lead to the disorder, and Carrie had a similarly traumatized childhood... only the ending is a lot more bloody, murderous and vengeful than Sybil is. I recommend that anyone who is interested, even remotely, in multiple personality disorder (like i am) should read Sybil.
2. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is, in a word, awesome. Any music lover should definately see it. I kinda wanna marry Michael Cera. lol. Im a sucker for dorks especially "underdogs."
3. i've really been into instrumental or electronic music lately. The problem is i dont have very much. I have soundtracks... and i have Manneheim Steamroller. that pretty much covers my collection, which makes me sad. And i've listened to the Romeo + Juliet Soundtrack (#2) and now i really really really really wanna watch the movie, but i must resist! i still remember way way way too much of it. Screw it. I'm going to watch it tomorrow.
4. I've had this feeling like i need to make a radical change. I need to do something crazy or something that pushes my boundaries. I was at Hot Topic today and i saw this temporary hair dye that would change my hair color to "hot cherry" or what i call "Run-Lola-Run Red" or otherwise known as "Sydney-Bristow-In-The-Pilot-of-Alias Red." I really really REALLY wanted to buy it. I've been wanting to do that forever. I've also been flirting with the idea of moving to Loveland, CO. Omaha is so boring to me anymore. I feel like i've been everywhere and met everyone. I need a change, and honestly, there is nothing but family and a few friends keeping me here. And even the family part is just mom, my brother, my two uncles, and a married cousin. Also, i wont lie, i wouldn't mind meeting a Colorado boy. Loveland is kind of like the Omaha of Colorado. Its roughly the same size, though with a smaller population. It's also like, less than an hour away from Estes Park. The winters i think are crazier which doesn't thrill me, but i think i've survived several freak winters in Nebraska that i can handle anything the mountains throw at me. It's always in the back of my mind.

| I'm having a down day... (fall is the worst time of the year for me) |

 depressed |

Depression hit really hard last night after I turned off the computer.
I stayed up wayyy to late and then couldn't fall asleep.
I didn't wnat to go to work or class but went to work, only 4 hour shift Mondays so not the end of the world.
Realized last night in bed that I hadn't done the work for my Music class today but got half of it done just now and am going to class anyways. It's an hour and a half and I can function even though I'm sitting here wondering why I even bothering trying to live my life.
It's just one of those days. You know?
Here's the thing... Fall is the WORST time of year for me. I love the season itself, but depression wise it hits me really really bad in late September/all of October.
Generally around the second full month of school and Yom Kippur. Worst time of year for me depression wise. I know this. I need to work through it.
I'm just so fucking stressed all the time.
My life is like... to use a gross metaphor...
I feel like I'm a house being eaten my termites and it all looks good on the outside but could fall apart any minute bc there are so many cracks and inside has been eaten away.
But go me for trudging through it.

So, i have a problem.
I hate the horror genre. I find no pleasure in being scared to death. None. I dont like any part of it, because it stays with me for like a week. The first time i was ever scared silly was when i was around five-ish, and i saw E.T. for the first time. You know the first scene that we actually see ET, when he's romping through the grasses? Scared the ever loving shit out of me. Then when we actually saw him, he looked just as creepy, and that was it for me... but for some reason, i sat through the entire movie before my mom realized that i was scared shitless of him. She feels awful to this day about that. I used to see him at night peeking through the dark of my closet every night. I demanded that they be shut so that there were no cracks for him to peek out of. To this day, i still cant really watch the movie (which is a shame, because Drew Barrymore is a-fricken-dorable in that movie. I mean, i yearn to watch the movie, just to see the cuteness that is baby Drew Barrymore). In fact, one day in eighth grade, in my spanish class, i had to look away when they played ET in spanish.
My other experience with the horror genre as a child was just as unpleasant. I was maybe ten or so, and we religiously watched the national news, the local news, then Entertainment Tonight every weekday, and well, one day they decided to dedicate one episode on the 20th (?) anniversary of The Exorcist. They played all the famous clips... you know, when she's spewing pea soup... when she turns her head 360 degrees, and... the one that scared the pants out of me most... the one where she's crawling down the stairs like a spider then flips backwards. I'm getting chills just thinking about it now. I'll never watch that movie ever. Just the fricken highlights of that movie caused me to have nightmares for two weeks. I had a tiny window in my room at that time, and i swore up and down something was going to pop into view every night, and like a deer in headlights, i couldn't look away. Man, i'm trying to only recall the bare minimum of those memories, but they still send shivers down my spine.
Anyway, these days, i find myself not so scared of horror movies (as i've learned a good 95% of them are cheap and shoddily made) and plus, i find ways to overcome them... like when i was forced to go see the movie House of Wax with my friends, i put my feet on the seat in front of me and watched through my legs the entire time, so i could easily cover the screen whenever necessary, which was maybe once or twice through out the whole thing... as i've come to learn that horror movies have the same formula*. But my subscription to Entertainment Weekly has seen me come to the conclusion that Stephen King, master of horror, is an amazing writer, and i like him.
I was told awhile ago to read The Stand by Stephen King. I did. It took me three months, but i did it. And i was glad to read it. It's one of Stephen King's best books and also one of his less gory books. I found myself at a conundrum. I wanted to read more Stephen King books but i hate horror... i find NO pleasure in horror. But i find a great deal of pleasure in reading Stephen King's amazing writing.
The other day i picked up "Carrie". I had a good idea of what goes on in Carrie. I knew she was a tormented girl who was abused at home and treated like dirt at school. I knew she had telekinesis powers and ends up becoming the Prom Queen but gets drenched in pigs blood. She boils and starts wreaking telekinetic havoc upon the school. Specifically what happens... i wasn't too sure, but i figured, A. i knew generally what was coming, and B. there was no creepy music (which is usually what ends up scaring me the most in movies) and C. there were no scary images (also what scares me the most). I figured i could handle whatever Stephen King threw at me.
Right now it's 11:00 at night... Tommy Ross just picked up Carrie White for the prom... and History Friend keeps texting me and the sound of my phone going off is making me jump.
i am not smart.

*six or so friends have plans for somewhere. they get lost. there is (at least) one couple in the group. the couple has hot dirty sex and then gets killed first. then one by one, two (or more) unimportant characters get picked away gruesomely. Two survive several horrific events. The bad guy(s) end up getting whats coming to them... or the two just end up escaping their grasp, and live on in peace together. The end.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
He fell at Gettysburg or Fredericksburg,
I ought to know--it makes a difference which:
Fredericksburg wasn't Gettysburg, of course.
But what I'm getting to is how forsaken
A little cottage this has always seemed;
Since she went, more than ever, but before--
I don't mean altogether by the lives
Hm, I'm sad the nearest book was the poetry of Robert Frost and not the poetry of Pablo Neruda.

good giddy god.
I'm going to London and Paris for 2 weeks for winter holiday.
And frankly, this is enough to make me giddy, but it gets better.
Instead of flying straight home, there will be a detour of 2 lovely nights in NYC with a fabulous night out attending Equus.
seriously? I am all but stunned that this is actually going to be real and happening in 3 months.
This is too freaking amazing to be real.
i love it.
