In order to get a visa to study in the Czech Republic, I have to do everything except give up a blood sample and sign away my first born. o_o

IN OTHER NEWS. Did not win that scholarship :/ But that's okay, it just means I will have less money to travel with lol. I got the list of classes I am signed up for, and I am going to be trying to get at least 2 of them changed to ones I actually WANT and can get credit for my majors for. It's kind of crazy to think that I will be leaving for there in like 2 months....NOT ENOUGH TIME I feel so unprepared xD

So I was Paranoid for Halloween :) I had a little tinfoil hat that I found the instructions to make on a real legit website that claimed the government could read our thoughts. Ummmm also my work outfit, I got a shirt the first day that is like waaaay too big for me, and I found out they're not giving me a new one, I just have to deal with that one. Oh well, at least I'm only working there for another month, and then it's back to the Barn.

I should probably go now, Huis Clos isn't going to read itself. Unfortunately.

Ok guys, I think it's prettttty safe to tell you now, there's only a couple of really horrible no good very bad things that could happen to eff this up for me, and the chance of that happening is pretty slim so:

( Here's my news! )

So I got a job. TAKE THAT, RECESSION YOU BITCH. ;D

I'm now a "Food Sales Associate" at Macys. Not really sure what it entails other than obvs selling food but I'll find out Friday at orientation. Now I just gotta bank some hours and I'll be golden.

AND NOW I get to be up all night finishing a paper and studying for a plants quiz that I desperately need to do well on. D8

MAAAAN when the homework fairy comes she sure dumps a lot on you ): I'll get it all done eventually, I just fear for my ability to sleep until I do.

Also, I am having some srs bzns dry skin issues with my hands. Idk what it is, maybe the dryness in the air? I know it's getting towards winter and that makes the air dry out but REALLY? REALLY? Not even my super awesome moisturizing lotion is working that well.

UMMM WHAT ELSE. Oh I am seeing Cobra Starship tonight at the riv, I'm gonna leave in a few minutes to get there, doors open at 4:30 PM which is ridiculously early for a show imo, but then again it's All Ages on a Sunday night so maybe it's a curfew thing with underage kids? Idk. This is why I like 18+ shows, they start later and have way more chill audiences.

There's like 6 more weeks or something until Thanksgiving omggggg I am excited. I like vacations. A lot. The only sadface part is that the bus home is gonna be PACKED so I'll have to share a little seat part with some random person ): sadface, I like being able to put my feet up on the empty chair.

Byeeeee, more later, and hopefully an update soon about that awesome news I might have soon. ;D

• Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

1. If you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?
Oooooh gurl that is hard. Probably a young Liz Taylor, she was fly as fuck. As for younger celebs, idk, I think Amy Adams has that kind of timeless cute thing going on.

2. What is the strangest superstition that you believe in?
I always always always pray before I fly. I pray the night before really thoroughly the night before, and I pray in my head quickly before I get on, and I've been doing this since I was like 8. Idk why, I mean I am not particularly religious, but it makes me feel way safer and I haven't crashed yet. I also always say thank you to God when I get off the plane safely. :)

3. When you study abroad, will you buy me a prezzie? :DDDDD
HELL YES. Your present(s) will be fab I promise.

4. Who was your first kiss?
I may or may not have kissed this kid in 1st grade, his name was chase or chance or something like that, we were at Skateland and he wanted me to be his gf and I was like "....no" and I ran away to my mom :/ BUT OTHER THAN THAT, my real legit first kiss was last year with Will. We were watching some movie with Kelsey Grammar in it and I remember thinking it was kind of creepy to be doing that in front of Mr. Grammar lol

5. Thoughts on the Michigan Promise Scholarship being taken away and the cap put on Michigan resident's FAFSA?

THAT IS SOME BAUUUUU-SHIT. :/ Seriously I am so broke rn they can't be doing this to me. I don't get Michigan Promise (I go to school in Chicago) but FAFSA matters to me and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaat I can't believe they're trying to skimp on my aid.

YOOOOOO.

So okay I will probably have some cool news to post within the next couple months but for right now SO I DON'T JINX ANYTHING I'm not saying anything :x

I am also going to do a picture post soon I swear I just need to get some time. xD Right now I'm just doing homework, working on my sculpture, and waiting for Halloween. MMMM CANDY.

Later ♥

My computer is all fixed, I am back online :') I AM BACK, INTERNET, WELCOME ME WITH OPEN ARMSSSS.

So I asked Sami to pass this on to some of you, but for all the rest, I will be MIA definitely untl monday night, possibly through all of next week.

I am back in Chicago all moved in and going to school, but my laptop can't get on the internet. What happened was my windows updates software got corrupted so in order to get it working again, the computer dudes have to reimage my computer. I can't download the internet client my school uses until I have all the updates, so I really do just have to wait until they fix my computer after the back to school rush dies down :/

I miss you guys, I miss my internet, and I am stuck lurking in the library and nabbing the roomies computer when I need to do something online.

I WILL BE BACK SOON. Also tin you better get those songs ready cuz I am seenig Craig in just a few weeks :]

SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP RAINING I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR CLASS IN 5 MINUTES NOOOOO D:

I am BACK my computer is all fixed and my mp3 player and camera work on it now and i am not working/doing stuff for the first day in like a week and a half lol.

I am moving back to school the day after tomorrow. :O And so far, my most terrifying class is sculpture. FOR I AM NO ARTIST, MERELY SOMEONE WHO LOVES ART.

And that's about it, can't wait for my next check in a week, biggest one yet ohhh yeah stockroom move thx for the cash ;D

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I hate 7AM work mornings ): I never sleep the night before and I end up just being exhausted while at work and then coming home and collapsing.

Also I totally had something to write about but my brain is dead ):

Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter.
Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to those who comment in return.

Sooo elyse gave me h:

1. Houses. I like living in a house. It beats camping.

2. Horses. They're pretty :3

3. Homies. AKA FRAAAANDS :')

4. Hallelujah. Great song.

5. House (Dr.). Hugh Laurie is soooo good as dr. House.

6. Herpes. Ok, this one is fake. :/ I just needed another H.

7. Home Alone. This movie was the shit when I was a kid.

8. HAPPY BIRTHDAYs. I enjoy being wished a happy birthday.

9. Happiness. It's good to be happy, I like being happy.

10. Hay. Is for horses. Which I like.

Omgggg so many places lol, and since I am a college student idk how many of these will happen in 5 years, BUT:

1. Definitely a vacation to Russia. :O I want to go to Moscow and St. Petersburg and see the cathedrals and the red square and their subway system. I'd like to go in the early summer so that I don't freeze to death, but we'll see. I'm planning on putting some money away as soon as I pay off all my debt and stuff so that I can save up and have an awesome like weeklong Russia spectacular.

2. Southern France. x) I hear the French Riviera is beautiful and I am dying to go. I hope to spend a semester either in Nice or Aix-en-Provence, which is on/near the Riviera, so. Hopefully this one will happen in the next couple years lol.

3. HOLLYWOOOOD/San Francisco/San Diego. I want to do a tour of Cali lol. I went to La Jolla and San Diego when I was 8, but now that I'm older I want to go and see the Bay and Hollywood and attend Comic Con. This is a vaca I could probably do for around $1000 if I plan it right and since I want to spend a summer interning in LA, I could conceivably pop up to Comic Con at least.

4. Ireland & Scotland. This is another one where I want to hit up a couple places in one go. :) I have been to London a couple times, but never to northern England or Ireland and Scotland. I'd love to go so bad!

5. Austria/Berlin. My gma is from Austria, and I'd love to go and see where she grew up. I'd also probably go to Berlin on this trip. I've always wanted to see Berlin, I hear it's a great city.

Other than those top 5, I'd pretty much want to go anywhere in the world with the exception of Antarctica lol for I fear I would be much, much too cold there.

( Life Update )

But don't be sad for me, be sad and outraged for the people in Iran, who have had their election stolen and are facing violent retaliation for their peaceful protests.

I have been on vacation for about two weeks now. I've got my tech job back atm and I am applying for a bunch of other jobs because I really need some more money. :P

Final grades:
Comm Practices: A
Humanities: A-
Freshman Writing: B
Social & Political Philosophy: B-
French: B+ HELLLLS YES
History 101: B+ (studied my ass off for this final lol)

I am loving summer vacation. :] as soon as I get some money flowing in regularly, it'll be even better.

I saw Star Trek last Sunday.............flippin awesome.

I can't wait to see Up, it looks so cute!!

Ummmmmmm that is all, ha.

Today was 84 degrees and sunny. SOOOO AMAZING OMG. It felt like everyone was outside and it was crowded and fantastic.

I played frisbee, laid by the lake, sat in the sunshine, took a walk to buy index cards, got free moving boxes, and watched pineapple express x)

I AM SO STOKED FOR SUMMER. Good lord. One week from this Sunday I will be heading back home to Michigan!

I am honestly sick of college. :P I don't feel like anything I'm learning here is really going to make me a better person or serve me well in the real world. Especially since I'm not really learning anything pertaining to the field I want to go into. I've been thinking of transferring to a uni close to home where I can take classes about actual television production, instead of the theory stuff I get here. I won't even get to intern until I'm a junior! Until then it's just me sitting around taking a bunch of fairly pointless classes. I won't even remember most of this stuff in a couple months. >[

I think part of it is that I really dislike the whole system of higher education. I hate writing papers and attending lectures. I want to touch things and to do interactive work. About the only lectures I can stand are ones about art xD And that's just because I like looking at art and seeing how it relates to the outside world of its time. I thought college was going to be intellectually engaging and that I was going to love it. WRRRROOOONG. :| I feel like it's high school part two with tougher grading standards and longer papers.

At least in high school I got to make my own costume for humanities class. :x

And the worst part is that I know my grades are suffering from my apathy, because really, I could be doing better than I am. I just don't care enough to. It's a lot more important to me to spend an evening reading entertainment news and working my way through Making Of videos than it is for me to read some philosopher's take on what freedom is. The best part about college by far is the city. :) There's always stuff to do and since I only have class a few days a week, lots of free time in which to explore and play around. If I go back home, I'll lose the freedom of the city but I might gain more pleasure in what I'm learning. If not then...........idk. I will cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.

Now to attempt to BS some more about Hegel's philosophy on something idk I sleep in this class all the time anyway haha

:D I am 19 and going to a Whigs concert tonight. And I'm thinking of skipping off work to nap and watch Milk. x)

Also, I am about halfway through a 2 quart container of apple juice *_* since I woke up this morning.

I LOVE JUICE.

Remember your sunblock.

Yeah, I believe in reincarnation. I don't think that we remember past lives, or at least not well, but to me reincarnation is the best possible option. What a waste of a life experience, just to go sit in heaven and never get to try this living thing again!

Whoooo boy. This got long. Cut up into tasty little LJ chunks so you can pick and choose what you wish to know of my life!
