A Good Day

I got approval from the anthropology department to wave the Anthro 499 Senior Thesis class. Me so happy!!

Three Posts In One Day

I need to vent. It's been a long day.

It started with me staying up until 5:00am studying for my theatre history test (I mentioned it in the first post I published today). Anyways, stayed up till five, couldn't fall asleep until six, and woke up at eight to go on campus and take the test. The last test took about an hour and a half, so I was expecting to get out of the testing center fairly quickly. Yeah, the test took me over three hours. It sucked. Then, I wandered around campus until 2:00pm becuase I had an appointment with the Anthropology advisior concerning graduation requirments. She basically told me that I had to go to the top floor and set up an appointment with the Anthropology director, who wasn't in today. That sucked. Also, I had tickets to see the BYU production of Macbeth today but ended up giving them to my roommate because I had to go work on a project for my Anthro 309 class. That sucked too. When I went to work on my Anthro project, however, I had been given the wrong time and no one was there. So, not only do I now have to scramble last minute to figure out a different project idea to present to my teacher for Friday (as in the day after tomorrow), but I wasted perfectly good theatre tickets. Guess what? That sucks.

Needless to say, I'm pretty darn frustrated. I think I'll go get ice cream now.

Makes Me Giggle...Tuesday?

So my goal of posting something that makes me smile every Tuesday was short lived. While writing my previous post, I realized that it was already Wednesday and I had yet to post something that makes me smile for this week. Guess I'm 0 for 2. O well, better late than never (plus the first one was a day early, so it just balances everything out, right?).

This video is pretty stupid, but it still makes me giggle.

If tests could feel, I would slap them...

...or at least call them a few choice names.

Today I took my TMA 202 (theatre history) test and my goodness, I HATE tests that consist entirely of essay questions. Three hours and three handwritten pages later (front and back) my hand seriously feels like it's about to freakin' fall off! I know three pages (front and back) doesn't seem like much, but I've done the math. I write fairly small, averaging about 15 to 20 words per line. The standard college ruled piece of notebook paper contains approximately 3o lines, give or take. That's at least 450 words per page (just on one side). If you count both sides, that's at least 900 words, which equals a little short of five 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, typed pages. Maybe I'm just a wuss, whatever.

At least the weather's nice.

And I learned a lot. Go ahead, ask me about theatrical forms in the 19th and early 20th centuries. My knowledge will blow your mind (better ask me quick though because I guarantee you that I won't remember any of it by tomorrow).

Now That's Giggle Worthy

I just realized that even after my long explaination of why my post is 'Makes Me Giggle Tuesday' as oppose to 'Makes Me Giggle Monday' that the date of the post says Monday. Ha! That's what I get for writing a post barely after midnight. I feel the need to break into song: Isn't it ironic? Don't cha think? It's like rain... Sorry, that was random. Hooray for random-ness.

Makes Me Giggle Tuesday

I got this idea from my older sister's blog (shout out to Jenni). Basically, you pick a day of the week that you particularly don't enjoy, and on that day you post a funny video, story, or whatever makes you smile. It's a little something intended to brighten your day. Anyways, I thought this was a great idea and decided to jump on the bandwagon.

Before moving on to the video, however, I want to explain why I chose Tuesday in particular. I actually have nothing against Tuesday. I originally intended to have it be 'Makes Me Giggle Monday', but yesterday was a rather hectic day so I never got around to it. Also, I don't have class on Tuesday, so I figured this would be more convenient. And everyone hates Mondays, so this is me attempting to convince the blogging world that I am capable of independent thought.

Moving on, I saw this video on my friend's blog (shout out to Danielle) and thought it was too hilarious to not share.

Blah, Blah, Blah

Alas, I once again go for a month plus without posting anything new - I do have to say though, January was a good month as far as posts go. In order to relieve some of my guilt, I am writing what Kassie so lovingly calls 'a throw away post'. A throw away post is a post in which the author, basically, doesn't actually say much of anything. So this is me not saying much of anything.

I guess I could fill you in on what I've been doing lately, although there isn't much to say...and I can't even use pictures to distract you from my never-ending ramblings. O well.

Classes are going well. I'm really enjoying my Theatre History class in particular. I am also currently preparing for my field study this spring (that will take place somewhere in Utah, so nothing too exotic), and am seriously reconsidering my original plan of staying in Utah summer term to get some GE's out of the way...the closer summer gets, the more I'm liking the idea of going home for a few months. Also undergoing the reevaluating process in the whole "should I add a minor?" idea. I am/was (can't decide which) considering adding a Theatre Studies minor. I've always loved theatre and want to be more involved, so this minor would basically be for kicks and giggles. But there's the part of me that wants to get done as soon as I possibly can and run away from Utah screaming bloody murder. Then there's that voice in the mack of my mind (which, interestingly enough, sounds a lot like Mom) saying, "You only get this experience once...enjoy it...don't be in a rush" and so forth. Grrr...So. Frustrating. And then there's the whole "I think I picked the wrong major" stuff going on in the back of my mind, but with almost two years under my belt, it seems like such a waste to change it now. *weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth*

Wow, that was a lovely venting paragraph. Sorry about that.
