New Format

Hey All! or who ever reads this! lol here is my weekly update! i figured that i would update on tuesdays or wednesdays, since i have a big break between classes on those days. so, i decided to have a format for my posts, so it is not just news on my week, and this way will be fun for all! (if indeed, more than just Heather reads this) ok so the new format will be as follows:


1. news of the week
2. song of the week
3. quote of the week
4. this week in history
5. interesting or funny pic of the week
6. finaly the part i am sure you all have been waiting for, German of the week!!


so lets begin, shall we?


News of the week:
this weekend my mom was in Maine, so i had a pretty uneventful week. i had 2 tests. one in Chinese culture, and one in Korean culture. I think i did ok, but you never know... i did get an 86 on my Korean one, and i will probably find out the Chinese tomorrow. mostly when i wasn't working or at school, i played football (just fyi, i ALWAYS say football instead of soccer, if i mean the american football i will say american football, otherwise just assume i am talking about soccer.) with tony on the gamecube. on thursday i went to On the Border with Alex. it is always a fun night. we went to AC Morre, where i got the 10th or 12 stocking stuffers... Yay! but other than that...


Song of the Week:
in this section i will put all my songs on random and the first one that comes up will be the song of the week... just to be fair... unless otherwise noted...


well since tony and i are going to see Celtic Thunder at MGM Grand at Foxwoods on saturday the song of the week is, picked at random, since they are all good!... "Lauren & I" sung (and written) by Keith Harkin! this is not my favorite, but i wanted to be fair! lol this song comes from Celtic Thunder's self titled album... to get the full experiance, i would recomend getting both "Celtic Thunder" and "Act Two", or you could get all but 3 of the songs by watching "Celtic Thunder: The Show" it is sold on amazon.com, or you could look it up on youtube, although i dont think all the songs are on there, but you WILL get to see "Chirstmas 1915" which is NOT on the DVD. Here are some links to Celtic Thunder stuff, i will not always be able to put links on the song section, but i will try.

Quote of the Week:
Here i will put a fun or prosaic quote, please comment, and tell us your thoughts on the comment! if it is one i heard in real life, i will put a little backround, since some of the things i hear at school are INSANE!!!


todays quote comes from my classical mythology class. keep in mind we are talking classical mythology here... so the teacher was saying how the end of the Greek and Roman gods was Christianity and this girl whispers to her friend...


"Why do we always end up talking about religion in this class?"


I think this needs no further explination...lol

so i have decided that i am 25, and beggars cant be choosers. so i am making a move on 3 guys... tim who is at school though as i am sure i have said he is probably 18, but i guess it cant hurt... except my pride. lol also there is the guy who comes into the store... bradley or brandon or whatever... i even know what i am going to say to him. when i next get a chance to talk to him, i will be all 'you know that offer to call me still stands, so if you ever find your self single, let me know" what do you think? and i am talking to this guy from match.com called Patrick, though he is kinda borring... but he does know altittle about real football... not much, cause he watches american football (from now on this will be refered to as rugby lol) he has a cat named squishy... kinda gay... lol. and i dont know how to log on to the school's wireless... you need your windows login... but i dont know that... i wonder how to get it... i cant look it up, since it will not let me navagate away from that page w/o a password. grrrrrr so i will look it up when i get home i guess. owww my finger hurts!... so anyway here is a random thing for today

random thoughts

So Random thoughts...

1. I was driving to school today and on the corner of willow st, there was a cop directing traffic... what pissed me off was i had a GREEN ARROW to turn and he let all these people going the other way go! it pissed me off royaly!!! anyway...

2. Did you ever kinda judge people by their names? for example there is a girl in my philosophy class named "Cinnamon". now i ask you... WHAT??? Who names their kid after a spice??? I mean what kind of job oppertunities soes this person have? other than stripper... "Ladies and Gentlemen, the president of the united states Cinnamon Jones!" come on now!

3. Next time you are in a park or area where there are alot of people and squirels just watch the people... it is weird how people just can not take their eyes off those little rodents... weird...

4. Do you really need a microphone in a class of like 15 people? My philosophy teacher has a wireless mic that he uses... we have AT MAX 20 people in the class... crazy old guy...

that is all for now...

Stop the world... I wanna get off!

do you ever look at you life a go "what the hell???" i have been doing that alot... i know i dont talk about it to my friends, but i cant seem to vocalize these things... so when i am laying in bed at night just thinking, cause i cant sleep and it is freekin 2:30 in the morning, i think over things and... i dont know... think that there has got to be somthing more...i mean i need a break... not like a vacation type of break, since i just had a pretty cool one with heather, but like a life break... some times i think life is moving way to fast for me. here i am with just about 1/3 of my life gone, and what have i got to show for it? lets review... here is what i always Thought would happen by the time i was 25

1. Graduated College
2. Be engaged, if not married
3. own a condo, if not a house
4. have a job that i actually LIKED, and would look forward to going to everyday... or atleast that i could say "yeah i work here" to people with out being embarassed

and here is how my life stands respectivly

1. still in school with AT LEAST 3 more years to go
2. I dont remember the last time i had a DATE, let alone a boyfriend... (i mean seriously... maybe 7 year since i had a boyfriend? i dont know...)...or a snog. the only guys i know are either GAY or to young for me (think like 7 years to young...)
3. I live alone with 3 cats in my mom's attic, which i feebaly call an apartment...
4. i work at Dunkin donuts for a little more than minimum wage. I HATE nay DREAD going to work. as soon as i leave on sunday i spend the rest of the week dreading going back. i am constantly worried about being fired for the stupidest little thing like wearing the wrong shoes or something... i cant call out, since i will be fired if i don't find my own replacement, so i go in sick more times than not. i dislike, if not hate 90% of the people i work with. i can think of only 3 people in the whole store that i dont want to kill atleast once in a shift. and most of the time there is so much drama and back-stabbing that it is a wonder i am still there.

so now what? there has got to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow right? right? i really am trying to look on the bright side of things most of the time, but... it is sooooo much easier to manage my friends lives than my own... and i know my friends try to help me out, but when i get to the moment and i am all alone... there is nothing there... nothing to say... it is easier said than done... i am sorta set in my ways... god that is horrible to say at 25 is it not?
sometimes i notice my self acting pessimistic so that i dont jinx anything... like i will say "oh i wont pass that test" when deep down i want to... or "he is just being nice cos he is that way" or "guys like that dont go for girls like me" but you know what? i desprately want them to... but all my tying to convince myself gets me nowhere...

i feal trapped... trapped in this never-ending monotany that is my life... every week it is the same... tomorrow i will wake up, clean my "apartment" go to work, come home, go to bed, get up, go to school, come home, go to bed get up, go to school...etc. until friday when i will get up, go to school, come home, go to work, come home go to bed...etc.

i am a sandwich person... like in kids in the hall... there are those people who go all through their miserable days and keep thinking to themselves "well at least i got that sandwich to look forward to".

which brings me to my food addiction... i am trying... REALLY trying to diet... but someimes i think... why? what is the point? noone is looking at me anyway. which makes me eat... which makes me depressed, which makes me eat... i go all day thinking when am i gonna eat next? some times when i miss a meal, or eat later i get shakes, and irritable... not because i am hypo-glycimic... or hungry... usualy i am NOT hungry... i dont know...

i just feal like the time i spend here is wasted... even now i am typing this when i should be asleep... i feal like nothing i do is ever gonna be good enough... i dont know... maybe it is just cos it is a quarter after 3 in the morning... and i know thinkgs wont look so bad in the morning... but you know what? after each morning is another night...
alone

ps. no i am not gonna off myself... i dont have a guts for that lol

pps. i really like the line about endless monotany... maybe Jacki will use it in her next story... lol
