And the Oscar goes to...

The Kings Speech for Best Picture!

I haven't seen that movie yet - I should probably get on that now, since it won Best Picture.

I really don't know what else to put - except that it is lightning like crazy outside. It better stop lightning because my bed is lofted right by the window on the highest floor in my dorm. That just scares me a little bit - I always freak out and think I am going to get struck by lightning. You never know...

Ok well off to bed I go!

One Week to Go!

Even though I am not looking forward to another week of classes, I am happy to say that it is the last one before Spring Break! I really hope that this week goes by fast. I definitely need a break from all of the stress of school. As unfortunate as it may be, I won't be going anywhere exciting for break. However, a week at home - sleeping in, watching TV, and spending time with my amazing dog - will be perfectly fine.

Busy Week Ahead

Well I almost went to bed without doing my last blog post...so I just wanted you all to know that I have a pretty busy week ahead. Check it out!

Monday: Other than class, I have College Mentors from 3-5. Then I need to get myself some supper and head on over to my night class from 7-9. When I return from class, I must do laundry...I'm running low!

Tuesday: Other than my awesome History and English classes, I have tutoring from 2-4. Then I need to call my awesome advisor to schedule a meeting about classes for next year as well as visit the parking people to get a parking permit for the rest of the school year. I also have an Education in Action meeting at 5pm. TC 113 - it's game night! You should come check it out! :)

Wednesday: I have to work on my awesome pen pal letter. My pen pal's name is Matthew and is an elementary student in Illinois. Hopefully I don't have too much homework to do, then I can catch up on some sleep.

Ok...well I guess just Monday through Wednesday are sort of busy. The rest of the week hopefully stays pretty empty so I can catch up on homework and just relax from the busy first half of the week. I hope that this week and next week fly by. Spring break is almost here!

Quiet Study Area?

The sign clearly states that this is a "Quiet Study Area" so please
get off of that phone!

So I'm currently doing my homework in Club Bracken. I went to the 4th floor, because I have some reading to do. When I read, I like it to be nice and quiet.

I obviously never got the email that stated today was an exception the the 4th floor quiet rules. There were people all over the place chatting with their neighbors and talking on their cell phones.

Really people? This doesn't make me happy.

Oh English...

Oops! I almost forgot about my blog posts! Well...I am currently trying to fill out some scholarships. I hope I can get some free money!! I am also thinking about room sign ups. I get to sign up tomorrow and my roommate and I really want to live in Park. So, I am waking up a little before 6am so I can get on the housing site to sign up for Park. 6am is way early, so I better not be getting up for nothing! I guess we will have to wait till tomorrow to find out!

Paranormal Activity - Two!

So I just got back from watching Paranormal Activity 2. I am not into scary movies, so I don't know why I let my friend convince me into going. The movie wasn't how I thought it would be. The first whole hour was pretty lame - however the last half hour was a different story. My heart is still racing from the movie! I can't get the freaky images out of my head. Ahh! I really hope I can get some sleep tonight. I need sleep. If I had to watch Paranormal Activity 2 again, I probably wouldn't mind, as I now know where all the scary parts are - so I can say I am prepared for what pops out at the viewer!

Just an FYI...I didn't scream like everyone around me did! I am pretty happy about that because the last time I watched a scary movie with my friends, I am pretty sure I screamed like a little girl.
