All you gotta do today is love yourself.
(From dailypeptalkfromabestfriend.)
Pep Talk: On those wondrous days when your every move isn’t delicately scheduled and nothing is laid out in advance, it’s easy to stress. You’re not alone if you feel like, “I don’t have anything to do, but I’d better do something or else I’m going to feel like a big pile of crap.” In reality, you don’t have to do anything. Plan or no plan, something always...
Friday fun
Note to self: after finishing homework, hang out in the bookstore and check out the new books on display.

first day back
morning: It was pretty amazing waking up a little after 9:00 and not being tired. Listened to some music, got my textbooks, and went off to class. Soc 1: My teacher is pretty cool. She’s in her mid-thirties, has a neat sense of humor, and says “fabulous” a lot. She talked about how she went to the annual sociology convention in Canada and the author of our textbook was there. She...

empty room
I got back from my Soc class to any empty room. Yesss. Free to throw my stuff on the ground, jump on my bed, and blast the music. Five minutes after I crank up Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, I hear a rustling coming from Mari’s bed. She was there the whole time! Oh man. Sorry about that. We really need a system so that we know the other person’s in the room so this doesn’t...

early morning
It is 9:20 this Monday morning and I am glad to be back from home, Calistoga, and Berkeley. I am trying to enjoy the peace before my first class starts and I get bombarded with work. This means catching up on blogs and Facebook, listening to the old classic Early Morning Rain covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary, and doing various chores around the room. Celebrate this time of mental bliss, Jada,...

For those of you OFFICE fans who were confused:
Jenna, there is crazy a controversy if Micheal said “I quit” or “I acquit”. Look at any message board, it’s crazy. Can you please set the record straight? – Erock from Fenton, MO
He said “I quit”. And he meant it. You will see how it all plays out this week on the show.

best part of my day so far
Pinching Morgen at 1:30 in the morning because she wasn’t wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. I actually ran to the lounge right after putting on my lime green socks just to see if I could pinch anyone. Pathetic? Maybe. Fun? Heck yes.
go Morgen!
Ally: This sweatshirt is so ugly. I'm looking at ugly sluts on Facebook. Isn't this sweatshirt ugly?
Morgen: It's not even that bad. I might even wear it.
Ally: Shut the fuck up. You're just supposed to agree with me. Isn't it so fucking slutty?
Morgen: Ally. Shut. Up. I'm trying to work here.
Facebook parents
Ally: Oh my gosh. My mom just made a Facebook page.
Morgen: What's her status? Is she cooking? Can she friend me?

fuming
On Saturday, an obnoxious guy across the hall posted up a sign that said, “I am straight, white, and male. Where is my recognition or appreciation day? I demand equality.”
I rolled my eyes when I saw it and wrote, “You want equality? How about we put you in an internment camp, take your land, and enslave you?”

Spanish final
I didn’t do as well as I wanted to, I think. Darn.
Well, that’s the last time I’ll ever take a Spanish test. It’s kind of bittersweet. I liked Spanish class.
Megan: What would you call it when someone kills another person with a bible?
Zach: Irony.
I love weekends...
because I can run to the library just because I feel like running.
goals
// To be present.
// To find something to believe in.
// To deal with my feelings of hopelessness re: the world. Right now, they’re kind of on the back burner because of finals. Trying not to let those thoughts consume me.
// To get to know someone new.
// To invite someone to hang out in my room.
// To get through finals.
// To talk to family about school. I don’t really know...

invitation rejected
So on the way to the bathroom, this guy named Sammy that I say hi to every so often (more than the others) asks me if I'm going out tonight.
Me: No.
Sammy: Why not? It's a Friday night.
Me: Have to study. I haven't been doing my work for other classes because of English.
Sammy: Well, you should come out with us. Oh, hey Ana.
Analisa: Hey. What happened last night?
Sammy: I was drunk and made out with this girl we call BOB. It stands for Black Out Bridget 'cause she always gets drunk and throws up everywhere. So why don't you come with us, Mari?
Me: Jada.
Sammy: Ah! Sorry.
Me: Yeah, I don't want to end up making out with BOB like you.
Sammy: Come on in. I'm just going to drink a little before we go out. (He pours a shot and does it.)
Me: So...can I go to the bathroom now?
