snoop a loop

wow am i in a weird mood or what? today has been an awesome and strange day all at once. it's finally summer and grades are in and i didn't fail college. yay. my grades aren't maybe as good as i would like them to be but whatever, i know now what i have to do to do better at learning and next semester, i will do just that. was that sentence a runon? hmm?? i used to be very good at grammar. ANYWAY, today is my parent's 25th wedding anniversary. yay them. my dad (being in retail) had to work a 12 hour day so my mom and i hung out all day long. we shopped big time. we started at sam moon where i got a purse and jewelry for mom. we then hit up stone briar and the cheesecake factory for lunch. it was awesome. after seeing all there was to see at that mall, we headed south to willow bend. my mom got shoes, i got jeans, we said hi to my cousin at "sci tech." it was a great time. then we hit up some stores at the park and preston shopping center before finally returning home to the comfort of the couch and "friends" on the tv. love that show. ok so i watched "one tree hill" and whoa...like weird things happened. i think i'm going to rent the whole first season and watch it this summer b/c i wasn't a one tree fan back then and there is a lot that i've missed. that will be summer project along with physucks. YAY. so i went on a run tonight and that was fun, not. i'm not a fan of running but i know i should do it so i'm trying to learn to like it. alrighty then, i've been babbling for a while sooooo........peace out gangstas.

i love songs about food..

Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this song
It's meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, hala ka ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind the practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me

Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend that all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see

Rain all day and I don't mind

The telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms

Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this song
It's meant to keep you
From doin' what your supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in

I'll make you banana pancakes

Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see

We've got to wake up slow

i know i should be studying...

there is something wonderful about his smile. i'm not going to say whose smile it is...just that it's wonderful and i enjoy looking at it and it makes me feel special b/c everytime i see him, he smiles. don't you just love it when you see someone and a huge smile appears on their face? i think that makes my day every time. it doesn't matter who it is, it's just nice to know that they are happy to see you. i will miss him and his smile this summer. :(

the secret to my power... i mean..how i will survive finals.

what?

if i remember correctly...

last night i saw my drum major swing around a stripper pole in his boxer briefs. if that isn't amazing, i don't know what is. matt/shan's party last night was quite crazy. playboy mansion themed parties are supposed to be crazy though. everyone in scandalous clothing and VERY strong punch and jello shots. i took one jello shot and thought my mouth was going to burn off. TOO STRONG. oh well it was my kickoff night for studying for finals. i'm now going to be stuck in my books until these tests are over with the exception of band banquet tomorrow. i have a pretty dress and pretty shoes and pretty earrings and everyone better say how pretty i am. :)

happy mother's day. if you haven't called your mom and wished her a happy day and said i love you than you are wrong. this is your reminder.

have a great day.

last day of classes

well kids...today is friday and today is also the last day of classes. today has sucked so far to be honest. my allergies are killing me and the smoke from midnight rodeo last night has made them worse, but NOTHING will ruin my friday. haha. sorry for the complaining. on a lighter note, i'm listening to 80's music, packing up my room b/c my dad is coming tomorrow and doing laundry. hopefully i'll sit down and study for my bio final on wednesday. that is my plan for the rest of the afternoon. sounds great doesn't it?

have you ever spent so much time on something that doesn't really matter? thefacebook is killing me. whoever came up with that, you're brilliant b/c i get to stay in touch with all of these people, but damn..i waste so much time on that thing. i mean..it has gotten so bad that i'm now friends with my second cousins. who has the time to look up second cousins? evidently i do. :( i think i need to prioritize better...

i have a newly discovered love..ben folds five. i never used to listen to them but recently i have been and they're great. have a wonderful friday all you crazy people.

uh huh

happy hump day! i hope everyone's wednesday went well. mine was alright, if you care. i turned in my marching uniform today. *tear. i can't believe that my first year of college is almost over. it has gone by soooo quickly and so many things have changed both around me and within me, i think. i have met so many great people this year that i will really miss this summer when i'm in dallas away from their smiling faces. :( on a positive note, my dad is pulling strings with target so that i get to work there over the summer as a pharmacy tech. that should be entertaining or at least insiteful. i'm really excited about working probably b/c i've never had a job before, but still...i'm looking forward to it. i have my last psychology test tomorrow. i'm going to miss that class. i really liked it and my professor and everything. if you get the chance take psy 301 with dr. lewis. he's an amazing guy. on a weirder note, my history professor made everyone in my TA session stay after class today and then we got a mini lecture on giving the TA the respect that she deserves. i really don't think this was aimed at my group b/c we're pretty nice but the whole thing caught me off guard. i really felt like i was in trouble and i was really anxious all through class about us having to stay after. it was crazy. i just thought that i would share my absolute terror with you all. :) have a lovely evening! *muah

interesting...

what i learned today in psychology. a life lesson if you will...

the way to be happy is to like yourself and the way to like yourself is to only do things you are proud of.

a very smart man that dr. lewis.

dangit

life can be soooo frustrating at times. how do we fix that? any ideas? wouldn't it be soooo much easier if the boy likes girl and the girl likes him back and there aren't any other people mixed in there in weird ways? oh the drama of relationships..

on a lighter note, i love the new man committee t-shirts for lhb and i'm going to write what is on them. if you don't get it, then you aren't cool. j/k.

things every newman should know

1. you can never have too much cowbell

2. burnt orange goes well with everything

3. bevo loves you, but he won't hesitate to kill you

4. water spilling in "the bubble" will be there forever

5. yellow meals are accurately represented by their name

6. if you're sitting down, you're wrong

7. LHB + revolving door = accident waiting to happen

8. airplane breakfast and dinner bags contain the same thing

9. the fringe is awesome

10. it's earlier, not $@@^*#

what a weekend

holy crap, i haven't had a weekend where i didn't get any sleep in a long time. this weekend was a crazy one that was both awesome and stinky at times. let us remember it now.....

thursday: my psych class got cancelled so i slept and then grace came rolling through austin with the pearce choir on their way to san antonio. i brought her some mexican food and chatted before going to band class. it was nice to see her. i hope that she had an awesome time on choir trip! yay!! no one went dancing b/c tbs and kky had stuff or people had other things so back to posse i went. posse was a little weird at first b/c all of these people were there watching the mavs game and taking up all of the tables. those jerks. posers. but after the mavs WON, everyone left except us cool band kids. paul and joseph ran away and had a deep conversation for what seemed the longest of time but hopefully everything is ok. the old gourds were at one table and we newer ones were at the other. i love my gourdhead friends. :) didn't get home until like 130.

friday: i was really tired. i went to my classes starting at 9 and then i went up to the bandhall to load flags and what not at 4 and then took a nap. i watched bridget jones diary after i ate dinner. actually it was the second bridget jones. good movie. really funny. i love colin firth. ahh..good times. if you haven't seen "the importance of being earnest" you should really check it out. it's funny. anyway...after the movie, i went to beta bunch toga party. no offense to the bunchers, but it was realllly lame until like 1 a.m. when people started showing up. i had a fine time though getting to talk to kevin vitamin. he's a swell guy. a lot of people actually wore togas and that was really cool. i took some pictures and they're on the website. good times. so i got home at 3.

saturday: BAND-O-RAMA. i woke up at 940. ate breakfast, found out that liz and brock are dating which is really cool. they're both really cute. anyway...full day of band rehearsals for the concert that last just short of two hours. i didn't get to eat again until like 4 or something. my stomach was not a happy camper. i met kevin thurston's parents and then shelby's parents later that night. whoot. AND THEN...after the concert, gourdorama happened and it was sooo awesome. if you didn't come, you missed out and i'm sorry. know that next year, you should come whether you drink or not. so it was out at the rugby football clubhouse. a ton of people drove out there even though everyone was exhausted from bandorama activities. i took some pictures there too. they're in the same folder as toga. it was sooo cold last night. like what the hell? it's may for pete's sake. we could see our breath. stupid texas weather. but yeah i had fun dancing like an idiot. rush and i were showing off our sea-walkin. it was hot. so i got home at about 330. i didn't sleep well.

sunday: woke up this morning at 840 to go with thurston back out to the scene of the crime to help clean up. we really aren't messy partyers which is good but we ended up cleaning up some left over rugby party trash. we're good kids what can i say. but then i came back to srd and wasted time until i had to go to a new man committee business meeting at 1230. that was fine. we got some work done i think. after that, i came home and crawled into bed and i just got up about 30 minutes ago. it's 630 right now. so basically i'm a bum. i'm a hungry bum too. it's about time for dinner. i think chipotle or something along those lines will suffice. so yeah, i'm tired and i made a mess so i need to clean my room. new "family guy" tonight. i'm excited. i hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well. :)
