Describes Me Right Now...

"I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." - Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Snow Tubing

Tomorrow I will be going snow tubing with my friends from college. It'll be my first time ever doing so. We'll be going to Boone. Should be an adventure.

Children of the Corn

A lot of people, and I do mean a lot, absolutely hate the children of the corn movies. They think that they've been dragged out way too far. However, I absolutely loved them! Over the past week or so I've watched all the movies except three. I have not seen the remake of the original, the second one in the series (because neither were available on Netflix) and Genesis (because I've not had time yet). But, from what I've seen, its epic! I find the series both entrancing and enticing. I like the sort of movies that involve satanic cults, much more than mere slasher movies. There's also the fact that all the movies connect to each other in some way. So, as impressed as I am, I am also surprised that there aren't many online forums/groups dedicated to fans of the series. If anyone is still reading this blog (doubtful) please let me know if there is a subreddit or something that I've missed. Thanks! :)

I Hate Vacations

You read that right. I absolutely hate vacations. Not going to the beach vacations (I love those!), I mean time off from school. Winter, spring, or summer break all make me want to repeatedly bang my head against the wall. Oh sure, its fun at first. Assigning yourself tasks to keep busy, playing online, maybe catching up on sleep. But after three days I want nothing more than to go back to school. I'll pack my bags and complain for hours about not being able to attend school. Now, of course, when school is in session, I take days off. Oddly enough, only when I'm tired or have a lot of things I need to get done, very rarely when I'm sick. But, that is my choice. I don't think its fair that the school tells us we have to take a vacation. If we want to be there 24/7/365 (Okay, we have to go home to sleep, but you get the point) we should be able to!

End rant.

Star Wars

Alright everybody. I want to weigh in on the sale of Star Wars to Disney. This is very upsetting to me. I don't like any changes to Star Wars. Han shot first, end of discussion. But, if someone is going to change it yet again, I would definitely rather that person be from Lucas Films than from the company that can't even get fairytales right and tried to retell Hamlet with lions. -_-

I Hate This

So, yesterday I was wearing heels because I had to give a speech in Public Speaking. While on the city bus, a fight broke out, and everyone was asked to get off the bus. My shoe broke and I fell while I was getting off the bus. I now have a fractured wrist. This does not bother me. What bothers me is they put a splint on me that lowers my productivity. I do a lot, and while I don't get paid, I work on my own constantly. I live to work. It's my favorite thing. You should not be able to take this away from me. I don't care if I'm hurt. I don't care if I heal. But don't interfere with my work/happiness!

The Diversity of College

I have met tons of interesting people this week. But, for a moment, I'd like to focus on the multiculturalism. This week, I have made friends with a girl from Vietnam. I've also met a girl from the Congo, and a girl from either Palestine or Pakistan. I'm not sure which, as she just sits in the hallway near me and I happened to overhear. I think this is amazing, and I am considering paying some of my fellow students to teach me foreign languages. Let me know what you think in the comments!
