It's fah-reezing today! The wind is ridiculously strong which makes for an attractive hair style walking into class. On the plus side, I got to whip out my super cute winter coats! So I guess it wasn't that painful walking to class. I was stylin and profilin'! However, on the down side, I hardly got any sleep last night because of the storms and the roaring wind! You could only imagine how loud it was if it was waking me up; I'm a pretty heavy sleeper. And the wind is so strong that it keeps moving my door as if someone is trying to get in. It's kind of creepy.
Oh yea and I looked at my Google Analytics website thingy and it said that people from Brazil have looked at my blog. It's crazy!
Best news of all! I deleted my facebook!! It's a huge step for me! My friend and I have a bet going on. He thinks that I cant last 2 days without activating it again. But I have strong will power! Hopefully it lasts past two days! I want to be more productive with my time and as time goes on, maybe I won't be as tempted to activate my account again.
So the only television series that I follow is The Hills(I know it's lame and fake, but I still love it!), until Glee came along. It's not like any other television series I've ever heard of. The transition music is an eccentric a capella group. I love it because it's so untraditional! The story line is just as good as the music. The characters really pull the whole show together by adding the quirky twist that makes it different from any show I've ever followed.
There's not a week where I don't miss it! It's absolutely wonderful! If you don't watch, you should start. It will complete you
Facebook is overtaking my life, much like myspace was so long ago; that's the reason why I deleted my myspace in the first place. Almost every time I get on the internet, facebook is sure enough the first website I type in. I just hope my little red speech bubble in the bottom right hand corner says at I at least I have one new notification. So that's what keeps me coming back; the anticipation of being "well-liked" per say. But in reality, it has nothing to do with being well-liked. It's about other people having no lives just like yourself. And when the red speech bubble has let you down, you have other people's new posts of pictures, statuses, and what not to distract you for hours or in other words deem you as a class A creeper.
I think they create these types of networking websites so you do get addicted to them. I think they like to rub it in your face that your life is so pathetic that you have to creep on other people to make it seem a little less pitiful. And when you want to stop the madness of being a creeper, you can delete your account easily, however, it's just as easy to get it back.
oh facebook. you're not even that great to begin with. and if I really want to stay in contact with people, that's what my wonderful cellular device is for.
I now just realized that I've been home almost every weekend since I've been here. I live about an hour away so really it's a lot of gas to drive here and back every weekend! And on some weekends I don't even need to go home. I guess I just miss my family. That would make sense, seeing as I'm extremely close with them.
If I cut down on the trips back home, I think I would get more serious about school. For instance, I would actually study on the weekends. And I need all the study time I can get.
I actually don't think I'm going to go home this weekend. Hopefully, I can get somewhere with my homework.
So I went to my first Ball State football game last night. I'm not a huge football fan so I wasn't that excited to go. My friend had to drag me there because she didn't want to go by herself.
I woke up at 1 in the afternoon so I was feeling a little sluggish already. My friend wanted to go tailgating, but I was still in my pajamas at 5 when the tailgate party started. I eventually got the energy to shower and get ready. I told her we would walk to the football game when I was finished getting ready. Well I take forever to get ready so she came to room to try to motivate me to get ready faster. It was about 7 when I was done getting ready and I hadn't eaten all day. So we stopped by to get some food. My dinner consisted of an uncrustable pbj, doritos, a cookie, and skittles. Finally, we started walking to the game with my dinner in hand. We arrived at the gate and found out that no food was allowed inside. I was so mad! I really wanted my skittles so I smuggled my skittles in. haha I'm so sneaky!
The game was boring to say the least so we left at half time after we watched the marching band perform their Michael Jackson show! It was amazing! They danced to "Thriller." Hands down, it was the best part of the football game.
I'm super excited! My fashion class is taking a trip to Chicago for a fashion workshop and I get to go! I've only been there once and it was only for about an hour. I loved it for the hour I was there so I really excited to go back.
We're going November 12th and 13th, which is a Thursday and Friday. So that means I get to miss classes! Although I can't really afford to miss any classes, I'm still thrilled that I get a break. I know that I'm going to have to kick it in gear when I get back though because I'm missing two major classes, the one's I'm struggling in the most.
So I just got home for Labor Day weekend. Since my sister goes to Ball State too, we figured we would ride back home together to save on gas. Well she didn't get out of class until 3 so I had to wait around for 5 hours. Anyways we're supposed to go camping this weekend with the whole family. I was excited about going until I had to sit in 45 MINUTES OF TRAFFIC!! So I have enough road rage as it is, not to mention impatience. ALL THE IDIOTS!!! Traffic was bumper to bumper and I was in the fast lane thinking it would be the fastest lane (hence the name "fast" lane). Yeah it was fastest lane up until this "older" guy cuts in front of me..I guess he wanted to go faster than the other lanes too, at least that's what I thought. No no, he didn't want to go fast AT ALL! He was going slower than the other two lanes that weren't up to speed with the fast lane. I was livid!! Some words probably came out of my mouth that my grandma might not be so proud of. So there was this huge gap in the fast lane just calling my name. I so badly wanted to pass him on the left side, but let's not be silly, my road rage isn't that bad. At this point, the other two lanes were going faster than him so I got over and finally passed him. I was completely relieved. I actually got to speed up to 20 mph for .87 seconds. Then I was back to bumper to bumper traffic. So what normally would take me an hour-ish to get home, took me about an hour and a half.
My family was waiting on us to get home. They were all packed up and ready to leave when we finally got there. I was NOT in any mood to jump back in a car again. I told them I would drive separately when I cooled off.
Anyways just a note to self: NEVER DRIVE HOME ON FRIDAY DURING RUSH HOUR!!
So me being a procrastinator and all, I put a TON of stress on myself. I always tell myself, "oh it's not due until next week I'll have time to work on it then." Then next week rolls around, and here I am stressing myself out at 11:00 p.m., the night before my homework is due. It's because I'm lazy! I HATE being lazy! but I don't know how to not be lazy because that's how I've been since I can remember. I think college would be a GREAT opportunity for me to change my lazy ways, however. I mean college is a life-changing experience after all.
Right now, I feel like I'm just going through the motions. (going to class and working on a homework assignment here and there) In other words, I'm going to class and taking notes and stuff, but I'm not really retaining any of the information outside of class. It's as if I have a learning switch (I wouldn't even call it learning) and I turn it off as soon as I step outside the classroom. Just another thing that stresses me out. I really want to succeed, but my stupid laziness!!!
So I let all this homework pile up, and before I know it I just want to explode!!!!!! I do it to myself too. It's crazy I tell you...and it just gets worse every time a new school year rolls around, especially with college. Hopefully I can buckle down and get serious! fer rill!
I'm gonna go try to de-stress myself with a walk or something.
Andrea is my name, and fashion is my game! Yep I'm basically in love with it! Good thing I decided to study fashion merchandising at good ol' BSU :]. Aside from my adoration for fashion, I have quite a large family that I absolutely love! Four sisters to be exact. Without them life would be dull indeed! Growing up in a large family, you learn to laugh A LOT at stupid things. So my sense of humor is definitely up to par. I love finding new music! hmm...and I'm a HUGE fan of art! anything that has to do with design actually.
