What the crud?!?

It's snowing outside. Seriously, it is and has been ALL DAY! Maybe someone should kindly remind the weather that it's freakin' April. APRIL. As in spring. Definitely not the season for snow.

And finals start in two days. I have such a ridiculous amount of homework due between now and next Wednesday that just thinking about it makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and cry. But I won't because that would be awkward.

And there's a dog in my apartment. And it smells.

On the up side, I made muddy buddies today. They were tasty.

Reasons why today rocked...

1) I slept in 'till noon. I had a migraine last night, (which was gone when I woke up - I can add that to the list of good things) so I slept longer than usual.

2) I discovered we now get the Discovery Channel at our apartment.

3) I got a free freshwater pearl necklace. Hooray for jewelry stores that give away stuff in order to stand out in a town where every other store is dedicated to weddings.

4) I successfully parallel parked on my first try (the first time I've needed to since my driver's test I might add).

5) I signed my housing contract for next year. Hooray for not being homeless.

6) I bought groceries. Hooray for not starving.

7) I didn't eat any junk food even though I really wanted to.

8) I got all of my homework for tomorrow (plus some not due for a few days) done before midnight...which NEVER happens.

Ok, so today wasn't that great, but I'm trying to stay positive. In a few short weeks, finals will start and life will be H-E-double hockey sticks, so I might as well enjoy the simple life while I can. Plus I haven't written a new post in a while...

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.
