föstudagur, janúar 31, 2003

Well last night I met Jon's father and grandmother. I think it went Ok. I was kinda nervous. They are nice. I got the typical questions: what are you learning, what do you plan on doing with that education and so on.

Today we started talking about what song we want to be played at our funerals....

Ok I decided this when I was probably 12 years old... the song to be played is If you don't know me by now (goes on: you will never never know me). Tema wants Celebration at her funeral. Very humorous.

Procrastinating is the key word for my day today...

My computer is back and working.... Its been on all day and not one problem. Maybe the curse is broken! Lets hope so!

This school is amazing... My clast test and RA interview are the same day. Humm what to do what to do?

Hey people...

What have I been up to? Just spending a bunch of time with Jon. He is the sweetest guy I have ever met.

Last night we celebrated Javiers birthday... a few drinks and Lex and Javier were gone (drunk) in Iceland we call people with a low tolerence of alcohol chickenheads (don't ask me why). Funniest thing ever was when Javier took a shot of Icelandic Brennivin (schnapps) well it wasnt in his system very long... I guess he didn't like it but funny to see is face turn green and then purple.

Note to self: Do not watch horrormovies and expect to get a good night of rest.

föstudagur, janúar 17, 2003

First rugbypractice of the semester is now over... ouch!!! My lungs really hurt and at one time I thought I would die.... but wow I feel good now.
Shit its soooo cold in here... how come they cant get the temperature in Algonquin to a degree that is like.... liveable??? It's always either too hot or too cold.

Can't wait to go to Miami tomorrow... me go off campus??? OMG me actually go farther off campus than 7/11... wow!

I am not happy when my "friends" start bitchin at me for no reason and even for things that dont even concern them. It has been the problem the last few days and today I had enough. I have better things to do than listen to people screaming at me and making me feel miserable when I dont need it or deserve it. I don't want to be around people like this... so if they don't do something drastic soon sorry I won't consider them a friend anymore. I can find other people to be friends with.

miðvikudagur, janúar 15, 2003

Note to self.... get into shape!!!

þriðjudagur, janúar 14, 2003

Blah...

I feel like I have done nothing but study for a loooong time. Woohoo Lex took me to get a slurpee last night. Aww I love slurpees.

laugardagur, janúar 11, 2003

Girls night in tonight....

Liz, Lex and I are having fun! Facemasks, doing our nails, putting highlights in Liz's hair, makeup and so on.... Icecream and alcohol also have a say in the activities...

Grease is on and of course we are singing along with alll the songs.

föstudagur, janúar 10, 2003

WOW what a rush.... shopping is the cure to everything! No need for antidepressants just send everyone shopping!

Tonight Reggie and I made a trip to K-Mart... we had a blast. I bought a bunch of stuff to organize the room and bathroom, cleaning gear and so on. Reggie just bought about 300 candycanes oh yeah and ink cartridges. When we got back to the room my suitemates thought I was drunk or something. I feel so organized now!

This school is amazing at screwing things up!

My mail was all sent to a Postbox in IRT, and I dont even have a freakin key to it. Oh yes and of course they changed my address too. So hopefully I will be getting my mail later on today.... otherwise I shall scream.

Classes started today.... woohoo
Ok it looks like I'll be studying all semester.... you might catch me from time to time on the bench but I'll probably mostly be hunched over some science books.

I'm taking an intro to Oceanography and Reggie is taking Oceanography but it looks like we are taking the exact same shit... but more homework in my class... how stupid is that? He is a freakin OceanEngineering major... I'm just a stupid Social Science major.

My Chemclass looks scary... its internetbased stuff and the book weighs a freakin ton. Fun readings....

O how I had forgotten how disgusting the caffeteriafood was!

sunnudagur, janúar 05, 2003

Hehe I made Tema take an Icelandic shot last night.... I think she passed out! There were just the two of us here... very fun.. ok maybe not. Quiet at least. We drank a couple of drinks and then just went to sleep. God its soooo cold here!!!! I swear its colder here than in Iceland.

School starts tomorrow! All the people will probably be showing up today. Well enjoy the peace while I can.

laugardagur, janúar 04, 2003

I am getting over all the bullshit that has happened the last few days.

Ok I'm going to be living in my old room in Algonquin and I am not going to be an RA this semester. I'm really sick of the bullshit from this school. The year started out really crappy but things can only get better from here. I've been unpacking today and wow I have a lot of stuff. I have realized there a bunch of people care about me. Thanks guys!!! Ok now I'm getting corny!

Well can't wait to see everyone when school starts!
