9:12 am - What happens when I should be doing work...
|
Wow, this past week and some has been... wow. Just. (okay, not gonna say it again)
So here's how the story goes.
Last Friday (like, not 2 days ago, a week and 2 days ago) I received a bid from Delta Delta Delta (Tridelt, to the informed). Yes kids, I'm talkin sorority. By 4:00, I'd accepted and that's where the craziness began. Of course, being that this is greek, I can't tell you most of the craziness, but just know that going to an 80's concert dressed in cowgirl gear is hilarious.
So anyway, the first half of my week was really really busy. I had meetings to go to, work to do, just insanity. Then, Wednesday, I had my first greek closed party: Anything But Clothes with DU. It was fantastic, but I'd have to say the crowning moment of the day was actually making the duct tape ensemble with Sammy's help. You know a true friend when they're willing to wrap your ass in duct tape ^_^ Needless to say, the pictures from that party were inspiring.
Thursday was equally awesome. I was exhausted, but went to riding because its practically my job and got to ride this ADORABLE grey horse, Atlantis. I was seriously in love, he's 5 and just the cutest thing I've ever seen. I mean, riding did drain all my energy, forcing me to miss out on some Thursday night festivities and go to bed at 11, but it was well worth it.
Friday night? Um, too v wild for words.
Saturday, got pancakes, bummed around pretending to do work, ate pizza, and, well, had a Saturday night.
So there you have it, folks. My life in very very brief terms.

11:19 am - Standard beginning of term report
|
Oh man I've been bored so far this semester. I mean, when I'm not having crazy amazing trips to Panera and having fun with the word "extrusion".
So anyway, here's the class weather forecast for this semester:
Manufacturing and Design: best class EVER!!!! My professor is so weird, but it works. The first lecture we really got was about why engineers are justified in wearing clip-on ties and pocket protectors. Maybe its his glasses, but I think he looks like the guy from Weezer in maybe 20 years. Either way, the class is so amazing, I can even stand to listen to Rosenbauer for 3 hours.
Religion in World Culture: Oh man, another semester with Bob Cohn. He hasn't said anything too random yet, but I'm giving him some time. He's the most adorable old Jewish man I've ever met, not to mention the most amazing lecturer in this entire school. Just gotta love him.
Music Theory II: Skip's back, with avengance. Need I say more?
Dynamics: This class is already the bane of my existance. I think Gajic sucessfully erased 4 years of physics in that hour. At least everyone else feels the same way. Best quote to come out of that class:
Me: I think I'm gonna need a cup of coffee to get thru this.
Mary-Kate: More like a shot of heroine.
If I cared anymore, the ratio of girls to guys is about 2 to 25, but yeah.
Strengths of Materials: Omg, so in love with Professor Comer. He joins Cohn in the adorable old man department. We spent the whole hour talking about how to destroy structures and planes. Best quote to come out of that class:
Comer: What's the point of power if you can't be cruel and arbitrary?
In any case, he'll be better than Gajic.
So there you have it, folks. Bonne semestre!
current mood:  cheerful

5:31 am - A trip down memory lane (aka what ever happened to Hootie??)
|
Reason 11,529 I shouldn't have coffee past, um, ever: I will not be sleeping tonight. Probably at all.
But, in coffee's defense. I did clean out my left side closet (you know, the one that's hidden behind my bed). All I can say is wow. I mean, effin wow. First of all, how the hell did I end up with so much crap??? I mean, there must be hundreds of dollars of just dumb shit in there.
Aside from that tho, there's another thought that struck me. For being 19 years old, I've done a lot of stuff. Honestly, if you ever want to see who you used to be or remember what you've done, just search through your closet. Some stuff was good stuff. I probably have at least 5-10 lbs of letters friends and fam have sent me at camp. Of course, this made me think a second. I mean, where are all those people now? I found a letter from my old camper, Hootie (yes, we called her Hootie. it was a reference to her stuffed owl) Where is Hootie now??? She's gotta be, like, 15 years old now. That's just really really weird to realize.
Anyway, not everything I found was necessarily inspiring. Looking through a lot of my crap made me realize what an emo kid I was in high school. I've got a whole crate of sketch books (ok, now some were from when I was in elementary school) and notebooks filled with bad emo poetry. I mean, like really really bad. Oh, and let's not forget the endless supply of notebook covers covered in quotes and song quotes, all of which are pretty damn depressing. Oh well, at least I can see how far I've come.
Oh damn you coffee. Damn you and your delicious caffination.

4:24 am - Back On Task (sorta kinda maybe)
|
This break has been, well, a test in lethargy. Honestly, one of these days, I'm just not even gonna roll out of bed. What happened? I mean, at school, I'm half dressed before I even wake up. Now its taking me an hour just to roll out of bed. If you want to psychoanalyze me, I'm not depressed, just bored. I mean, seriously, just because a person doesn't want to leave their bed doesn't mean they're suffering mental breakdown, it can honestly just mean there's no motivation. That's it, I'm lacking motivation.
Actually, nix that.
I have motivation. My motivation is to get back into shape. Which, subsequently, also means getting my ass off the couch. Now, last year this was not a problem. I had a horse to ride, I had a schedule, I had a plan. This yearrrrr, none of the above. I don't have the money to do more than a lesson a week (I cancelled my lesson for tomorrow... the weather is supposed to be amazingly beautiful, but I just can't afford that kinda dent in my bank account... oh well.) I'm hoping my season doesn't suffer because of my lack of practice. I'm thinking I'll be okay tho... hopefully. Honestly, I'm not worried about my flat work, but my jumping is still... well, sucking. How did it used to be so easy? Was it ever easy? or of good form? ::sigh:: Must let go, must take life as it comes.
If this post seems a little long and rambling, its because it is. Actually, I wouldn't really be posting except that I'm trying to get back to my school sleep patter... which means going to bed at 1:30 and waking up at or before 7 am... how the hell do I pull this off?? Its not really the staying up late that's the problem, its the waking up in the morning. Oh man, its sooo much easier to wake up in the morning when you don't have to face traffic. Driving Dad to work at 7:30 going down 141 is... not fun.
Oh, and since I haven't commented at all on Project Runway thus far, here's my quickie thoughts...
-Santino is an embellished asshole. Yes, I would wear the dress he made for Nicky Hilton... but he's still an asshole.
-I am maaaaaaaad in love with Daniel Vosovic. Like, seriously, he's frickin adoooooorable. Kinda has the emo kid look going, but I can forgive him because he's just so damn hot. I hope he wins. He just won the Banana Republic challenge and I seeeeriously want to buy the dress he made. 'Nuff said.
-Marla. Oh Marla. You are living proof that Allentown is not New York City. But I commend you and still want to stalk down your shop. It might be 'Sage'. ...I'm gonna look into that.
-I'm glad Daniel Franco came back so I could admire his nose. I liked his Barbie dress, but it held a striking resemblance to the dress he made with that girl on "How do I look?". Like, way way too striking.
That's it. I need other entertainment.

10:47 pm - New Year's Resolutions (can kiss my...)
|
2006 will be a year of liberation and, hence, will not be tied down with the likes of resolutions.
Instead, here's what I'm hoping will happen in the coming year...
-I'll go to regionals (you never know, I could get injured, sick, etc) and place (I'm not asking for qualifying for zones, I just want a really big ribbon)
-I'll place well in intermediate flat
-I'll place at every show in novice fences (don't care what place, just wanna place)
-I'll keep sane about my grades, but keep doing well
-I'll get an internship. Maybe with pay. Hopefully with pay.
-I'll get a car (oh please, oh please, oh pretty pretty please)
-I'll keep in shape
aaaaaaand...
Idk, I'll think of some other stuff. Exciting stuff. Amazing stuff.

3:23 pm - Hello LJ, we meet again
|
Warning: this post may be very disfunctional because I'm watching Paula Deen... because I want her to be my grandmother....
So I don't really know where my last post left off, so I'll just pick up from whereever.
Finals went fine. E&M kinda raped me but I was so relaxed on adrenaline (or just relaxed in general) that I was perfectly happy turning it in with one problem just not right. As I figured, no one was able to make sense of that problem. I dig it.
I feel kinda bad that I didn't have time to say goodbye to many people. I couldn't find them! It's okay, we'll be back together in about a month. It's gonna be a hard month tho. I'm devoid of a car and a plan and Gibson is going to Thailand. Yeah, effin Thailand. And yeah, that sentence was a little defunct. Get over it, I'm getting emotional.
I love Paula Deen so ridiculously much.
Anyway, I had some fun yesterday with Shayna going present hunting and then decorating the (fake) tree. Yes, we have a fake tree this year, but I actually really like it. I love the smell of real Christmas tree, but I really really like that I don't have my yearly Christmas asthema attack. Besides its just as pretty AND holds more decorations! ^_^ I loove it.
Okay, I should be cleaning or at least taking a shower...

11:27 am - Wow, this will be the first update in a loooong time...
|
I've been really really bad about updating, but I've been very busy, I swear! Okay, let's see how we can break it down...
Thanksgiving was nice. Good food, good family, I was a fan. Black Friday was also interesting. I mean, any time you let Shayna and I loose in a mall, major damage occurs. I think my plastic got more of a work out than I did. Saturday, I went around with Pants and went tack shopping and visited Gateway. Got to see Budders! He's all fat now!!
Let's see... came back to school, had a crappy first couple days, but things have been uphill since then!!! First of all, I thought I failed my physics test that I took the Wednesday after I got back, but I got a B!!!! and almost 20 points above the average!!!! So then, I'd also taken a music theory exam on that wednesday and I got a 96 on that!!!
This weekend was also amazing. First, Friday night was happy hour then a pinning at Phi Psi (where I got to play matchmaker! I hope things work out well!) Saturday, I went shopping with Kristin and her roomies and went to her Santa's Dirty Little Helpers party!!! It was amaaaaaaaazing! Sunday, it snowed!!! But yeah, I woke up early and did work and went to the LCET BBQ!! It was fun, I love my team. Then last night (which really wasn't the weekend), Gibson took me on date to Don Pablo's to celebrate me qualifying for regionsals! (oh yeah, btw, I qualified for IHSA regionals in novice flat a couple weeks ago... Idk if I posted that.) It was very cute and put me in an incredibly good mood!! ^_^
So yeah, I'm in a very, very good mood!

2:01 pm - I want to be remebered for my hits, not just my misses...
|
What can I say? It's good to be home.
Actually, usually I don't really like coming home. It's stressful, its short-lived, its boring... but I really REALLY just need a break from school. I love my friends at Laf, I really really do, but I just need quiet sometimes. After last week, especially, my head is just spinning out of control. Oi oi oi.
I guess I should break down the facts.
Monday was fine. Tuesday I got deathly ill and had the engineering econ exam (aced it anyway, not a prob). Wednesday I was still sick and had the Statics exam (got an A-!! So happy, even if my parents still treat it like its nothing.) Did work all Thursday. Went crazy on Friday. Slept on Saturday. Did ridiculous amounts of work on Sunday. Differential Equations exam on Monday that made me cry.... Monday night just relaaaaxed and ate Wendy's and watched American Beauty. Yesterday, CAME HOME!!!!!! I've never been so glad to see my daddy's Camry come down the Watson driveway.
Anyway, last night was fun!! Shayna and I ate at Moe's and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!!!!! I think its my favorite so far. The directing is the best, anyway. I mean, I like Chris Columbus as a director, but his were easy movies in the fact that there was little emotional depth of the character by that point and they didnt' have to really edit the story down. Alfonso (or whatever his name is that did the 3rd movie) was def my least fave. The third book was my favorite, but he felt the need to alter the movie and make it 'his'. I mean, its hard enough to deal with a new Dumbledore, but to change everything??? That's just uncalled for.
So yeah, that's my little rant. I should be doing something better with my time... I'm gonna go play video games.

11:09 am - I've been so negligent...
|
So I haven't really updated in a really, really long time. That's the funny thing, ya know, about bloggish things, the more excitement/drama/interesting crap you have in your life, the less time you have to chronicle it. I guess I can break it down into a couple categories:
Academia: I've had some pretty standard weeks, actually. The only major downer was receiving another testiment to my medoicrity in Differential Equations. C'est la vie, non? Music Theory has been going well, everything else is just kinda a blip on the radar. Idk what that means, but I really, really like the word 'blip'.
Riding: Last weekend was very frustrating. I turned in a really good round for jumping and didn't even place. Oh well, it was nice to ride a horse I hadn't ridden since my very first show, it really REALLY showed me how far I've come. Also, something within my brain about jumping seems to have clicked. For the past 2 lessons, Heather has had me do some different kinds of exercises and they've really REALLY REALLY REALLY helped. Going over a fence while having to look almost over my shoulder? Absolutely fantastic! I have another lesson today, potentially in the rain. Possibly last lesson of the semester ::le sigh:: Poo.
Social Life: You kiddding me? You know I don't chronicle that stuff here.
Random: I've started up with kickboxing again because I love it ridiculously much. Last week I woke up all stiff and owie, but this week I feel fine/great! Gotta love the whole 'getting in shape' dealy. Ummm.... not much else.... So yeah, I'm hungry. and my room smells bad because of the hole-digging outside. Gross.

11:58 pm - People do crazy things when they probably should be sleeping...
|
I didn't come up with this, but I think its really funny.
-Go into Google and write "(your name) needs"
-Write down the top 5 funniest reponses
Here we go...
1. Erin needs to be naked too!!!
2. Erin needs what most white girls crave
3. Looks like Erin needs an exorcism, no?
4. Erin needs to understand that people don't like to see a pretty white girl with rap talent
5. And apparently what Erin needs more than anything else is of a sexual nature
Hahaha, I love doing dumb stuff at midnight. It just seems like a better idea to do it now than at any other time.

9:00 pm - Take a deep breath, let it out, I'll never be okay...
|
Wow... so this is what it feels like to step out of a hurricane.
Let's break it down.
Thursday: Alkaline Trio concert!!!! It was awesome. (puts on little kid voice) I got to ride in a taxiiii and play in the mosh piiiiiits annnnnnnnd yeah. (/kid voice) Actually, it was interesting to see people out of their "natural environment". You can really tell who people are by their position in the crowd and how they act at a concert. ::cough:: Anyway, riding in a taxi was everything I ever dreamed it would be. I mean, the guy driving us was really surly and foreign and told us the whole story about his divorce and marijuana and old guys smoking crack in his backseat. It was magnificent. Then, when I got back, I shared some nachos with Litty and Gibson and tried to fix the buzzing noise in my ears. 'Twas good times.
Friday: 8 am Physics exam. 'nuff said. Actually, I got it back today and I got a B! I might've done better with more sleep, but that's pretty doubtful. Anyway, snoozed through all my classes, then went to Happy Hour at Phi Psi. I couldn't drink because I had a horse show the next day, but I had a really good time! I beat the roomie at Beruit for the first time (and possibly the last time), danced, and learned how to play no-hand flip cup (which I highly intend on playing next week). Anyway, after grabbing dinner I went to Gilbert's to meet up with my lovely LCET ladies, hung around there, then went to the Teddy Bear stuffing thing with Lauren. I made a poodle! It now lives on my bed.
Saturday: Ough, this was a long one. I mean, all horse show days are, but seriously... Anyway, I left my room at 5:40 am and it was very cold outside. I mean, seriously cold. Drove to Centenary, watched the horses school, yadda yadda, and it seemed like a kinda uneasy day. I mean, its normal for some people to fall off at shows, but this was a little more than usual. Anyway, for jumping I got the cuuuuutest little chestnut named Tigger and ended up placing 2nd! My flat wasn't so good. My horse had a severe drift and my stirrups were too long and I posted on the wrong diagonal because I was so caught up in everything else... focus issues suck ass. So I placed 5th there. Boo, 2 more points till Intermediate.
But this is not why Saturday was long.
There was only one class of Beginner Walk/Trot/Canter. 2 of our girls were riding in the class, so (huddled with half my team for warmth) I watched. Now, as Manda will agree, you ride (especially event) long enough and you get a sense for people who are going to fall off. So, as I watched the class, I started to get that eerie feeling when I watched one of the girls (thankfully not one from my team) going around at a canter the first direction. She was really leaned forward and her leg was digging into the horse's side. Regardless, they switched directions and started cantering the other way. Unfortunately, this time did not fair so well. The girl had her leg gripping to the back of the horse as she leaned onto its neck and the poor guy just bolted. And she fell. And was knocked cold. My friends, I've been riding 13 years and I have never seen a fall so horrific. It was bone-chilling. For obvious reasons, everyone was moved out and the show went on, but...well... it was not an easy site.
I didn't get home till 7:30. I passed out till 10:30, then just took a chill night off. Have a beer, take a deep breath, just unwind.
Sunday: Studied DiffEqs. Went to LCET meeting. Studied more DiffEqs.
Today: Classes, Music Theory labs (didn't go well... alas...), DiffEqs exam (which we will not speak of at this point), then the usual. But its 9:30 and I've been done my homework for an hour!!!
::phew:: So glad I can just relax for one night...

11:06 am - Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends
|
A lot happened this weekend. I'm not sure I'm comfortable putting it out on the table like this, but rest assured, it as an eventful weekend. This week's a doozy ("doozy", what a cool old person word) too. Monday was fairly normal, but yesterday I had my usual horrible schedule capped off by my ethics quiz/exam. It was too hard, but I did B.S. some stuff. Come on, its only 5% of my grade, do you think I really care? Today I'm pretty much packed solid except for this little reprieve. After lunch, I have DiffEqs then pretty much go straight to riding and probably come back at 8 or 9. Craaaaazy. Then tomorrow I have class in the morning, work all day then Alkaline Trio concert at night!! w00t! It'll be nice to leave Easton to go somewhere other than the barn. Anyway, what kinda kills my excitement, I have an 8 am physics exam on Friday. Booo! Then on Saturday, I have a horse show! Then on Monday I have a Differential Equations exam!!! SEE THE PATTERN PEOPLE??? ...I keep saying "man, this is gonna be a bad week", but what I've come to realize is that they're all bad weeks. Some are just worse weeks. ...and that's entirely too depressing to continue on with.
Alas, alas.

10:44 am - Requiem for a Dream
|
::sigh:: Oh man, I gotta admit, it's nice to be home for a bit. Friday, I came home and completely passed out in my bed. It was amazing. Then, on Saturday, I went on a serious shopping bender with my mother and bought some cool stuff (Pumas for 30 bucks at the new discount designer shoe place??? I LOVE IT!!). Saturday night, I went with Shayna and got Mexican food and saw "Just Like Heaven". Gotta admit, that movie's made its way to the top of my "guilty pleasures" list. I even cried at the end. It was such a cute movie. But anyway, Sunday I went over to Wellspring to visit my old fave ponies and groom Spanner. Poor old thing, he still gets used in lessons!! I think he liked the attention for once.... Anyway, last night I went out to eat with Grammy and my uncles at Iron Hill. It really sucks being the only person under the drinking age!!! ESPECIALLY DURING OCKTOBERFEST!!!! Dagnabit.
So yeah, hot times in Delaware. I love it.

6:33 pm - No trouble no fuss and I know why...
|
I don't really have much time, so I'll outline some stuff:
-LCET has been going great! First horse show is on Saturday, love the froshies, totally excited!
-First exam on Friday and it has to be in E&M. Damn damn damn it to hell....
-Music Theory is hard. I really wish it could've just nicely padded my GPA like it was supposed to.
-I'm non-committal to my own stupidness.
-I have a stalker.
-I live in Skillman and my iPod is my best friend.
-I constantly have Bayside and Fall Out Boy running through my head.
-I can't seem to write in anything but "I" statements.
-This is dumb and I have to go to Ethics and do work till I breathe fire.

There's a steel train coming through. I would take it if I could and I would not lie to you because Sunday morning soon will come...

12:24 am - Wake me up when September ends...
|
I should be doing my differential equations homework (yes, 12:30 am is a condusive hour for such delights), but I feel like I should rant a bit... or I'm just really big on procrastination today. Both are unique solutions in the neighborhood of being true (see? I'm applying my Diff.E.Q. knowledge already!) Anyway, I guess it'd be fair to start off by saying that the last 2 weeks have been a shock to the system, the likes of which I've probably never really known before. It's like I've gone through the looking glass or something. I mean, nothing really seems to be status quoe anymore.
Wait, back track. Let's start over.
So I just got done reading about Hurricane Katrina (for general interest and so that I can actually be a contributing member of society in Ethics tomorrow... cuz I haven't started my paper, so I can't really talk about that...) and the whole scenario just leaves me awestruck. First of all, what's the deal with FEMA practically being non-existant for these sort of catastrophes? An entire city can be leveled, but I still can't make it through airport security in less than 2 hours! I mean, even as a liberal, I understand where the government is coming from trying to protect us, but have we reached a point where we think we're invincible to everything except our fellow human beings? Its scary when people get Superman complexes. It's really quite dangerous.
Okay, beddy time. Rant continues tomorrow... or whenever I sit down for more than 5 minutes.
current mood:  awake

11:24 am - He says he's bad with words, but I'm much worse....
|
First of all, Manda was right. The new Fall Out Boy is like crack. Seriously, I need to stop playing it before I drive everyone around me crazy.
Okay, on to business (yeah right). Obviously (or not), I'm back at school and half-way through my first week of classes. This is pretty much the forecast for the semester...
Electricity and Magnetism: Even though the subject matter is totally not my forte, my professor seems really good so far. He doesn't have that usual professor attitude where they expect you to just follow their random genius trains of thought. I like that. Especially at 8am. Survey says: surviveable, so long as I keep on top of the reading and stuff.
Professionalism and Ethics: Oh Lord, not another writing class. So far, this one seems really boring. I mean, usually morality isn't that boring (um, T. Piddy should come to mind, for all my UA girls) but I hate the fact that the writing has to be so terse. I really like to get all flowery with my words. Even still, this is just gonna be one of those plow through classes. Do the work, participate in class, done.
Music Theory: Omg, I LOVE MUSIC THEORY!!!! Okay, I'm sure, like all courses, there'll come a point where it makes me frustrated, but Skip (yes, my professor goes by just "Skip") is such a cool guy and we get to sing and play with keyboards! I love that stuff! Love it, totally love it.
Differential Equations: I will not be fooled again by having easy homework on the first day. I'm sure this class will be hard, but Yuster is at least a really approachable guy and his explanations aren't too shabby as of yet. Give it time, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.
Statics: My professor is new, just in from Texas A&M. Idk whether that's a good sign or a bad sign. Did she get kicked outta there for bad teaching? Or was she pulled in because she's really good? At least she knows how to keep our attention with pictures of cranes falling off piers and flipping over donkeys. I guess that counts for something. Oh, and the corn. Can't forget that the secret to succeeding in all problem-solving situations is staring at corn. Yeah, I don't get it either, but if it gets me through this, I'll buy my weight in corn.
Okay, much get to lunch before the froshies clog the line (what's the deal with that anyway???)

I hate packing. I mean, seriously, I really really hate packing. There's just soooo much to forget! I mean, if my mom hadn't kinda organized some essential items together, I totally would've forgotten something basic like washing detergent and all that jazz.
...can't lie tho, I am feeling a little homesick even tho I haven't left yet. I mean, when I left school in the Spring, I didn't want to leave ever, ever, everrrrr... but I guess I'm just afraid this year will be different. Idk, I should just take stuff as it comes.
Also, even tho this summer was ssooooo filled with work and stuff, I still feel like I had a really good time! I mean, I raced a draught horse, I roped a traffic cone (not well, but I did it!), I went to an all-expenses-paid horse show, I worked with lots of different horses and helped some of them along in training (I hope), and got to hang around with my fave ppl!
::sigh:: must keep packing... blech. See ya at Laf!
