Well, I’m very disappointed in my photography class. It seems like every time a discussion is going somewhere interesting, helpful, or even once in a blue moon advanced (! Imagine that!), some classmate will raise their hand and with their question bring it back down to a basic lecture. I’ve learned absolutely nothing new in that class, and haven’t even had to put the time, effort or thought that I thought I would have to for a three credit class. Finally was able to put my finger on it today. Since it was a guest speaker, he was using all the advanced lingo and such that he thought we should know, but obviously the class didn’t. I was loving it, my notes are filled, but every time I felt he was going somewhere, the other people in my class would rein him back in. It’s very frustrating, I feel like all these kids, some of them have amazing photographs, want to know exactly how, when, and just everything about how to take the perfect photo, that they don’t understand that when you see it, you know. I dunno (I don’t think that quite makes sense, nor exactly conveys what I’m feeling…but), I’m just ranting I guess, and lucky you guys are the recipients. J
I’m so excited to be so close to the end of my first year at college. Sounds so fun to say that! I was at the grocery store a couple of days ago with my friend, when I realized that I was probably buying my last gallon of milk for the semester! It just funny the different times when it hits me.
I was talking with my dad earlier this evening and it sounds like you guys in Utah are getting sleet right now. It’s just cloudy and windy up here, generally. There’ve been a couple of raindrops here and there, and the sidewalks were wet when I walked out earlier this evening, but it looks like the snows finally gone. And hopefully stays gone, I’m very ready for Spring. Saw my first ladybug a couple of days ago.
Like I’ve said before, Finals are coming up. And this semester is going to be a bit more busy than last semester, unfortunately. But classes are still going good. Today in Science, my professor pointed out how on a molecular level, earthworms, and yeast are often compared to humans. Very interesting. He has a lot of interesting tangents. When do you guys remember learning the order of the planets? Astronomy has always been a strong point of mine, but I remember learning the planets in second grade, but here I am up here and college students have trouble trying figure out the difference between Uranus and Mercury. I’m just wondering if it’s abnormal for me to be comfortable with the order of the planets. Though I do kinda love it, since the professor continually puts at least one question in that nature on the test. J It’s like, yes! A freebie! Anyways, I guess I should get going, before I find something else to talk about. Hope all’s going well for everyone, and that Spring showing signs of coming.
Happy almost St. Patrick's Day!

Wow, okay. I believe two years is a long enough hiatus.
Completely and utterly forgot about this, but in one of my classes this semester we blog to turn in assignments. It's something like Art 104-Section 1, if you want to check it out. Not my best work, but winter often is not very inspiring for me. Still have learned a couple of more things in that class, and decided to dig around until I found this again.

Definitely been a lazy day here. Been watching movies or reading most of the day. My roommates and I went and saw 'Tangled' earlier this evening, which is a very cute movie if you haven't seen it yet.
Well I'm going to keep this short, since I'm really ready for bed and should get off before I embarrass myself. Took me a couple of tries to spell 'yet' right. :)

Guess well see if I keep this up.

I Always Hate Naming These Titles

YES IT'S SPRING!!! Well almost, tomorrow anyways is offically Spring.

Besides for that my favorites series came out with the next book, Maximum Ride 5, MAX (seriously all caps), loved it! Another good series, The Icemark Chronicles has it's final book to come out in April, umm...I would say 15th. Then Fablehaven has it's next book coming out on April 20ish! I LOVE SPRING!

...sorry for taking for ever to update...

Fortune Cookies

"An enjoyable vacation is awaiting you very soon."
That is exactly what my completly random, and in no way forseeable fortune cookie said, kinda creepy. I'm actually going to Disneyland in the upcoming month.
Could a fortune cookie actually be true!

Another Quote

When live gives you lemons, make apple juice, and laugh your heart out as everyone tries to figure out how you did it!

Besides for that Happy Birthday Grandma (since I'm iffy on posting) on the 12th!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to 2009! Hope you all have had a great New Year!
And my sister swears I'm going nuts but I'm I the only one who has any idea of what a solar wind is!? I seriously thought everyone knew, now I feel dorky for having to explain to family and friends.
Does anyone else out there know what a solar wind is?

Another Interesting Fact

Did you know that male bees only have one parent? See I do listen in math!

An Average Kids' Brain Weighs As Much As...

-about 700 gummy bears
-26 ipod nanos
-66% of one the crowns of the queens of England
-3823 blue morpho butterflies
-.0000008956 of a cruise ship
-a pair of gloves worn by astronauts
-an Indian flying fox
-and many others

It takes 314000 ten year old brains to equal a sperm whale!

English

Have you've ever noticed that in English, they force us to read the most depressing books, Romeo and Juliet, The Crucible, Oedipus Rex to name a few. Just a little interesting insight.

An Interesting Fact

40% of the world's population gets water to live off the Himalaya's glaciers, what's going to happen when that ice melts?

Winston Churchill Quotes

Here are some of my favorite quote from Churchill:
-A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
-We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.
-A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
-A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
-A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

So there are millions more good ones out there, but I'll just leave it at here. Have a great week:)

Just a Little Something to Think About

You know those crazy people who tell you if you put your mind to something you can do anything? Well I here to tell that person to bugger off. I mean to say have you ever tried slamming a revolving door...hmmm...? It's absolutely impossible! Just something to thing about, :D, with this too, a FITNESS CENTER in AMERICA! This proves Americans are lazy.

School Started for Those of You Who Didn't Know!

Yeah...school did start, and so far my hardest/most annoying class is English. Can I pleaaaasee get a good English for ONCE! While last year's English teacher was like a grown up hippie child with her world peace talks that confused the heck outta you, this has us evaluating poems EVERYDAY!! Also she wants us to read a book before Oct. 13. Now usually I perfectly okay with reading a book before a deadline, but the teacher wants us just to read ONE SINGLE BOOK between now and then. I go through a book a day, if I'm not too overly busy. So the teacher is getting annoyed at me for reading all these books, and laughing as if I'm going to slow down (yeah right), and also believing that I'm not reading them, *sigh*. I straight out told her that I go through books fast, and yeah, I'm just rambling about a stupid teacher, sorry... :D

UFO's

Sorry....
A few weeks ago camping, miles away from anywhere, staring up at the amazingly clear, and starry night sky:
Collin: Did you know that UFO's only come out on Friday?
Me: Collin it is Friday.
Collin: Oh...

So...

Right, me and updating my blog, not really working...
Anyways since I have nothing new to write about, I really like the idea about my sister's new words.
New word of the month/whenever my sister gets bored of it: hooney (hoo-like boo-knee) No idea how to spell it, but I've always been a horrible speller, so what's one more word.
How to use hooney in a sentance...use it like you would with the word thing, or in Dutch, dingus.
So now after this completly worthless blog entry, instead of saying, well ordering, to your little sibling to, "Go and get that thingy, NO the other thing, not that one!" You can now say, " Go and get the hooney, NO the other hooney, not that one!" Or the word dingus, which as far as I can tell, by listening to my grandma is Dutch for thing. Anyways...if none of this has made any sense, sorry, but, boredom is a powerful thing, sorry Ais but I love that quote.

Umm...

This is kinda sad, but since I don't have much to complain about, I'm not writing ANYTHING here. Not that I'm complaining about my summer going well. Anyways just two-three more trips for summer left over, funalicous, sister's new word. Hey! that's what I can blog here, my sister's new word of the day, so far the most interesting that she loves to use is, bunky. A cross between funky and bouncy. I was about to say I have no idea where she gets these crazy ideas, when I figured out I do, she tends to get them while talking to me. Oops. Sorry for rambling. :)

ARG!

So this is going to sound really petty, but I'm dying without my chap-stick!! My dog decided to prove how annoying she can get and ate my chap-stick. It was my last one too!!
...
Guess I'll just have to buy another one...:(

Happy Birthday ME!

It's my birthday shout hooray!!
And besides that note, my busy June is pretty much over...now to figure out how to spend the rest of my summer...

Summer

Well so far this summer I've been as busy as bee. My summer started straight out with a two week vacation to Ohio and that eastern area. Ended up in 4 different states and Canada (Niagara Falls) on that trip. Now that I'm back home, I get to repack my bags and go to Idaho and surrounding area. My whole June is booked, boredom is not allowed with my schedule, luckily.

ACK Again!

My computer is STILL hating me!! It will now turn on, but the internet is bugging me, and won't turn on!!
