random

today in philosophy my prof went ROUND AND ROUND in circles about what exists and what are false beliefs and true opinions. hard things to put a definition behind. i thought that i was going to be completely lost in philosophy which is almost true. it's a bunch of questions that hardly ever have straight forward answers and to me, it's a difficult concept to grasp. evidently socrates believed that everyone who believes something should KNOW the evidence and reasons for the opinions you form. have you ever had trouble verbalizing your reasoning behind something? i know i have, therefore me and socrates would not have gotten along well and he probably would have thought me to be an idiot. :) at least i know that much right? hah. needless to say, i let my mind wander during philosophy and thought about my beliefs and what factual evidence there is behind the things i believe. belief in one God would be a true opinion that has no factual evidence behind it (some would argue at least.) weird stuff to concentrate on. makes you question everything. i don't like it.

so there ya have it, a liz random moment. i know you enjoyed it.

what a weekend

wow...what a weekend..

thursday = in the halls. need i say more? always a crazy night...

friday = hung out with a new friend and learned that my taste in music is severly lacking depth. damnit. hopefully i'll get that squared away.

saturday = first football game. the longhorns kicked ass and the other team lost to tcu. way to go guys. way to go. after the game i hung out at posse with some folks and then we went over to homer's. good times.

sunday = slept in for the first time in a very long time. met my aunt and uncle and cousin for dinner at chuy's. yum. then i hung out with some friends and we ended up talking until like 430 in the morning. thank goodness UT didn't have school on labor day. :)

monday = i slept in...again. now, i'm wasting all the time in the world by updating my itunes and updating this thing. hopefully i will get together with some people tonight to watch the miami v. florida state game. good thing i don't have class until 2 on tuesday/thursday.

it's been a very enjoyable first week back in school and the start of football season. hopefully the good times will continue on throughout the semester but that is highly doubtful with my current courseload. :( poop.

hope you have a wonderful day!! hook 'em. enjoy the pics from "in the halls"

hrm..

there are many reasons why i love austin but here are just a few:

-when walking to band last week, i saw a guy riding his unicycle around....strange
-rick perry came to lhb rehearsal in his cycling outfit...scandalous
-posse east
-mack brown took the time to come to band and tell us how awesome we are :)
-milkshakes at players
-new friends :)
-great music everywhere you go

first day

today was the first day of class here at wonderful ut. THANK GOODNESS classes started b/c i could not have taken another FULL day of lhb. my body hurts and i haven't slept very much and i just want to be able to sit and do nothing for a little while. on the plus side though, tomorrow is "in the halls" and i'm soooooo looking forward to it. it's going to be a hilarious but exhausting night. if you're in lhb, you better freakin come to posse or you aren't my friend anymore.

yes so anyway. just wanted to write something in here that wasn't a survey or lyrics to a song. so mission accomplished.

thank you stephanie

argh

i hate it when summer school is SOOO FREAKIN BORING that i want to throw my cell phone directly at the teacher's head. don't you?

everyone likes summer

so i've definitely been very busy. this summer is flying by basically b/c of summer school and all of the working i do. originally i wasn't planning on working a minimum of 20 hours a week, but i am. yippee hooray. physics at richland is a joy let me tell you. i have made some new friends though so that's nice. 3 go to a&m and one goes to baylor and i've gotten to know alex marks who went to pearce but we never hung out in high school. so that's exciting. i just thought that i would up-date b/c i have a moment (and i know y'all care about what is going on in my life.) so yeah. peace out.

go longhorn baseball. win the college world series. hook 'em.

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

-Jack Johnson "Banana Pancakes"

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 $@@^*#
