Adventures

Today I am visiting the lovely St. Norberts campus. I must say this is a much better experience than my first one. It's so pretty here during the day. I'm sitting in the "reflection" lounge working on some homework while everyone else to taking a nap. They have the most amazing windows in here. They are huge and perfectly square giving me a wonderful view of the river. It's soooo peaceful and amazing. To my left is a giant tree whose branches are curved and bend every which way. It reminds me of what we look like... ok let me explain. We're all connected to this base... and we branch off of each other. Ok I'm not good at explaining my crazy thoughts but it makes sense to me. This whole picture makes me think of Brit Lit and how I thought all those men were crazy for writing on and on and on about nature. But I'm starting to see it now. I really can't wait to live in London and see what they saw and what inspirited them to write such eloquent words. Maybe I'll write a few of my own.

This is def the release I needed after this week and hopefully it will carry me until spring break. Happy reflecting everyone!

HIIIII World!

Today is one of my busy busy days but I'm making time to blog it up.

I don't want to go to speech class today. I want to watch tv allll day. Unfortunately now is the only time I get to relax until... 11? yeah doesn't that suck. stupid classes. and work. and working out. I wish I was one of those people who just couldn't gain weight. But all this work is def going to pay off this summer when I look HOTT. hahahaha

So I've been thinking about summer a lot. I need a new job or Pig needs to start giving me hours. I also want to go lots of fun things. Like go to Chicago, stay with Sam in Mad-Town, visit Liz, maybe go camping?? umm idk bout that. I'm so excited about LIFE. hahaha not really, I'm pretending. I just need SOMETHING to look forward to. I'm starting to really miss everyone, but distant makes the heart go fonder.... right? SURE

I can't wait for:

Thunderstorms

warm weather

shopping

time with my twin

my cousin's wedding

dancing like crazy

living in LONDON

whooooot These next 4 years are going to be the best of my life. So, I'm living it up. hahaha

I'm being a little insane and I have to go to class so that's all folks!

The Only Living Boy in New York

Yesterday my speech teacher told us that society today doesn't think enough. We're always listening to music or listening to people. I disagree. Thinking is a trap it makes you think of things out of reach. Thinking gets out of control. One little thought can lead to a million worries and fears and regrets. It's confusing I know. Today I was stuck thinking. I want to get away. I want to hop on a plane and just go. I want to go somewhere else change my routine see what's out there. I can't believe how lucky some people are who get to leave for weeks of their summer. I used to think omg I'd miss people so much, but now that I'm in college I've gotten used to missing people. You just do it quietly and you move on. Someday you'll see them again. I know I'm going to live abroad someday... but I wish it was now. I wish I was looking forward to something. There's nothing remotely fabulous about my near future. I guess I should get working on that.

Observations

Today was a really strange day! First off I think I either attract crying people or make people cry. There was a girl at breakfast sitting a table away who burst into tears and just walked away. Then a girl was crying behind me as I walked back to my room. Then at work our infamous cat lady was crying.... I wondered if her cat died. I hope this doesn't continue to be a theme.

I also noticed that things on campus change very quickly. Just over the break we got a new place to eat (B&G Grill) and we have a sudden abundance of digital clocks. I feel like I am once again walking the halls of East. But seriously, they are EVERYWHERE. I don't know why but I dislike them... a lot. Especially the one in the Rec and Wellness Center. Whenever I work out (which is everyday!) I just stare at it, making time inch forward. It's horrible.

I also had some free time at work today in which I looked at Oscars nods and such. I would love to be on the board that votes for such things. I wish I had seen all of those movies. So I'm going to make a list so I know what to rent this summer. I still can't believe 500 Days of Summer got snubbed. I would also like to admit that I honestly liked Inglorious Bastards. I mean it was a little bloody but I loved the characters. The French girl was AMAZING. Total role model and HOTT (no homo). Can't believe the Oscars are still a month away, but I'm not really crossing my fingers for any thing in particular. I really dropped the ball and have only seen like 2 of the nominated. Still it can't be missed!

OMG so I'm a little annoyed that all our "patrons" at the library think that we know EVERYTHING. Today someone asked me where a professors office was which btw is not even CLOSE to the library. How am I supposed to know these things?? A library job does not give you automatic knowledge... of anything.

Even though I'm really really really not big on Valentine's Day. I sort of got in the spirit and am listening to some love songs. Mostly Moulin Rouge oh and I can't wait to watch Breakfast and Tiffany's which is my only V-day tradition. I'm going to devirginize my bff Liz. She's going to LOVE it. Oh and hopefully her bf will get her Bones because I can enjoy that as well. hahaha

ummmmmmmmm I guess I don't have much else to say tonight. But this is def a start to making up for my absence as of late. I have soooo much to do lately, but I like it. Good night Oshkosh. Hoping for a snow day....

Stumble Down the Street

I've officially been back in Oshkosh for a whole week. It already seems like I've been here forever and I love it. I've missed it so much. I'm staying really busy this semester balancing everything as well as I can. I have busy no fun days and then the weekend RELEASE. Which was awesome this weekend. I wish I had more to say but days blur together and I no longer have any thoughts left to share. I do however continue to think about the future (who doesn't). I just need to focus on one day at a time which was working up until today. haha
