11am- US History class
noon- lunch
after lunch: start cooking up a storm with other PAs for all-dorm activity.
4pm- meet with other PAs to pair up people for White Trash Bash Mystery Date. Rearrange meeting room.

listening: Switchfoot "the beautiful letdown"

If you want some laughs, go here and giggle at the girls on my hall. Courtney, Tai and Annette had a little fun at the mall the other night, and all i could do was laugh at the genius.

My favorite picture- Annette (the one with the scarf) and her granny glasses. HOT!

because I'm feeling nostalgic. And things were so much simpler then, pictures of my brother and I:

we be chillin:


Trying to copy big brother. Notice how we are standing up in a moving vehicle. Ahh. love it. We survived.

listening to: Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I made this post yesterday and it's not showing up on my blog? hm? Maybe it'll show up now. Anyway.. weird.

Hey- someone i know did this- if you read my blog at all- even if you never comment- can you leave a shout out and say 'here' or something? I'm interested in who reads this regularly.

i've decided i want to try to write something.
And this excites me.
I wish I had time to do everything.
Cause i also want to start lessons on a new instrument, but I'm poor

Conversation to Dana today in the student union.

"okay, okay. let's just have.. umm. a hypothetical situation. Say there is this girl named Mary .. right? right? stop laughing. Umm.. okay Mary wants to learn the upright bass, kay? stop it!! So how would she go about NOT having to perform in Friday Arts, and NOT taking lessons for credit, but have the school pay for it through tuition?"

only to have her say:

"you'd have to pay the private lesson fee, and you'd have to take it for credit"

crap and a half. I just wanna learn. I don't want to perform. And i don't want to pay. Is that so bad ?

yay friends.
