Care for Some Randomnocity?
Phew! Classes are FINALLY over!!! Finals until Thursday.. Then 6 weeks for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm less stressed now, with finals right around the corner, than I have been all semester. Funny. Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens to..
Well, maybe I'm lying. This week alone, I've completely forgotten about and had to reschedule to VERY important meetings.
It looks like another post where I have little to say but have time to post.
Oh! Next semster, I'm taking a canoe building class. I'll be posting some about that (with pictures!) over the next few months. Yay!
By the way, "randomnocity" is NOT a real word. If you say that in the presence of mildly intelligent people, they WILL look at you like you're an idiot.
Looking Forward to the End and Preparing for a Beginning
Well, 2 weeks left of the semester. I'm making final presentations, writing final paper, and studying for final exams. Lots of stress, but no more work for the semester, so that's good. I'm ready for the semster to end and for the 6 week Christmas vacation. At the same time, I'm already stressed about my 10 classes and my job for next semester.
Oh! Speaking of my job.. I was offered a different job last night. It's still on campus, but it's a completely different job. I'd care about the work and get to work with students instead of having staff and faculty yelling at me on a daily basis. Maybe next year. I have already committed to next semster in my current job. (Last week, mind you. If only I'd waited..)
Alright, I need to read the rest of a book and acknowledge that my friend and roommate are sitting in my room. See ya!

Clueless or Mindless?
I have this insane amount of free time this evening and felt like I should post. The only problem is that I'm not sure what to talk about.
The soccer season ended recently. It's amazing how much more I get to see my friends now. :D I missed them. They tell me that they missed having me on the sideline, but I enjoyed having the time for other things.
My all-time favorite quote comes from TruTV, formerly CourtTV. My roommate and I watch almost nothing else, so we hear this one a lot. We still haven't managed to hear it without repeating it in a clearly mocking tone of voice. "It sounds like you have a personal vindictive against me." I mean, seriously, how can you not be cracking up right now?? We get a huge kick out of it.
I know I've said nothing of any sunstance, but I appreciate you listening anyway. That's why I have the "Random" category for my posts. After about noon, my brain begins to shut down.

What's Next?
Wow, guys. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written. I haven't had a moment to myself since I wrote that last post - in August!
Since then, so much has happened. I've dropped one of my majors. I've helped my roommate through a rough break-up. and I've started seeing the school psychologist on a regular basis. I don't know what I was thinking, taking 20 hours, having a job, and attempting to have a life. It's impossible; take it from me.
I don't really have too much to say, but BigD has been giving me a hard time about posting.
As the semester comes to a close, I'm getting a little excited about next semester but also a little disappointed about the end of this semester. I've really enjoyed my classes. So many of my friends are graduating next semester that I almost don't want it to come.
The Freshmen Arrive
Oh my gosh, guys. I've been at school for the past week to help with the orientation of the new students. That includes freshmen and transfer students. It's been a crazy week of planning,, meetings, running around, and pretending to like some certain person who happened to be my awful roommate from last year.
So..with 5 days of no sleep under my belt, I got up bright and early yesterday to help the newbies check in. I, with the other staff members, spent the next 5 hours sitting at a check-in desk. After that, we performed a skit to introduce ourselves to the new students. Finally, we played games and had ice cream.
Today has been just as crazy. We started as early as yesterday and got right to it. I had to drive 30 minutes to pick up one of the rental 13-passanger vans. When I got back, I had to devour lunch in order to drive people to our "Save the River" service project. Later we had another meeting. Then I had to drive students to where we were having dinner.
Soccer team grabs a naked guy
This happened a couple of weeks ago, but I lost it in the rush of news.
Apparently an American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to Oklahoma City on July 18, 2008 after a passenger stripped nude and later tried to open an emergency exit door. Members of the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer were among those who grabbed the passenger and subdued him before he could get the door open.
There are strange people in this world.

Time-out for brain recovery
Apparently, healing from sports injuries to the head take a little more time than expected. Well, duh.
The biggest problem, in my opinion, is coaches failing to resist a steady push from players and parents.
Well said. Coaches, are you strong enough?

Soccer Chica returns to school
Stay tuned.
A Little Morning Update
So I finally got my award letter from school. It's a huge relief to know what I can and ... can't afford. After all that stress, though, I've still decided to hold off on getting a car. I'd be in a better financial position next summer. Seems like the way to go.
Gotta run a kid to summer school.
