10:59 pm - updating for no apparent reason.
|
Okay, since I was recently mentioned in my friend's "thanks" blurb on her lj, I feel inclined to post so that it may seem that I actually exist and am not the narcissistic fool that my last post probably made people envision.
Yeah. It's not really cold outside - wtf? I mean, it is winter. Oh well.
...I'm sorry, I really don't have anything for you other than - my mom killed one of my fish while I was at school and I am unhappy. I mean, she didn't do it on purpose...per se. She just stopped feeding them, and they all turned cannibals and ate the smallest fish in the tank to survive. What is this world coming to?
Hmm...well I visited my relatives these past few days. THAT was interesting. I guess since I never understood being drunk until I experienced it, I never realized what drunkards my relatives can be sometimes. HA. At lunch today, my Aunt Cindy (who has been having a bit of a rough go lately) looked at the glasses filled with ice, then said to my grandmother, "Is that vodka in there or has the ice just melted?" I was amused.
So. I will leave you with that because to make this entry any longer would be quite distasteful and a complete waste of your time. Have a good Christmas everyone.

12:11 am - Today has been...productive
|
So somehow the already shortened-due-to-sleeping-in day seems to have lasted for the duration of at least 2 days. But I guess that's because I was very productive today. I mean most of it involved sitting at the computer (minus doing 4 loads of laundry because I haven't washed anything since Spring Break) but it was productive sitting. I sent tons of emails that I really needed to get out, I bought my sister a birthday present (finally, since her bday was the 21st of March), I backed up my hard drive in case it decides to disappear on me (like my sister's just did), I finished my french homework before the day that it's due for once, I printed out/read over my script for the Women's fair, I bought under-eye concealer since I've been out for almost a month now, I called my mom. Discovered that my riding trainer is probably leaving for another stable. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
This weekend has felt very, very long. And I think it's because, for the most part, I didn't go out. And then there was the Ngoma dance show. And that felt like it lasted longer than the 12 hours it actually did, and by Saturday, it felt like Sunday. But at least it was entertaining to listen to the crew talk on headset. My first ASMing experience definitely could have been a lot worse.
Everything has been going really well lately, and I feel like I have a lot to show for the past week. I've got it under control. Finally.

3:04 am - worst night...ever
|
**Warning, whiny rant ahead. Slow down and take detour or enjoy scenic route.
You know what, I don't understand what I did to deserve this kind of treatment. I mean, I really shouldn't let such an asshole get to me, but when someone says, "you deserved it," it kind of hurts. It makes you reflect on your actions and wonder, what did I do wrong? because clearly someone thinks that I was in the wrong, even though I did everything in my power to remedy a ridiculous situation, and I still get blamed for it. Wtf is up with that? I mean clearly there was some bad talking going on behind my back, which is the most offensive thing that anyone can do to me, because I can't defend myself against it. Not to mention, I am over it, okay. No need to bring up my deficiencies. So fuck you.
kthx

10:49 pm - ATVing
|
Totally owned my brother at ATVs today. 4 months w/o ATVing really is too long. It's quite an experience...except now my thighs are hurting like mad, and I'm kind of walking funny. I think not horseback riding consistently has made me lose a lot of muscle definition in my legs. Now they're just sticks. Oh well.
I have got to get some work done over break. Otherwise, I am going to be so screwed in IR. errrgh.

12:43 am - so basically...what were you thinking?
|
Well hmm. I am home. Finally. Unfortunately I have found that immediately upon my return, I wanted to go back. Only, I'd rather have a week off anyways, except with everyone there. That is, home is boring. No one is here, and I have suddenly discovered that I don't like being by myself. Not to mention The Master and Margherita is depressing, and I don't like it.
This is strange, though - I've grown so accustomed to having people around 24/7, that I can't stand being by myself in a big empty house that I've never even lived in before. Sigh. Only a week till I go back, and I'm already counting down.

2:10 pm - Mmmmmm...berries and lettuce and sunflower seeds and feta and apples and...and...and...
|
Americans do not do salads right. They just don't. I mean, honestly - dressing. What is that? It is a nasty paste that one puts on top of the amazing tasty greens in order to cover up their tastiness. That makes no sense at all.
Salad deserves to be made with fruit, and nuts, and cheese, and all sorts of yummy goodness. And maybe some oil if there isn't enough juice. Salad is tasty as it is, and it doesn't need to be covered up by ranch. geez. Anyone who has never thought to eat a salad without dressing - you are missing out. I mean, you may as well just get a bowl of ranch and spoon it into your mouth. Especially with the amount of dressing people put on their salads. I wouldn't be so peeved if people only put a dollop of dressing on their salads, but no, dressing is the main ingredient. Lettuce and dressing. How boring. Not to mention bland.
So guys, take a little extra time at Dhall and try a salad with good, tasty ingredients for once, instead of relying on the manufactured chemical taste of creamy caesar or italian. kthx.

10:48 pm - They're taking the hobbits to Isenguard!
|
so yeah. about that paper. right. It's almost finished. I hope. nothing else is, though. and I am about to keel over just from physical stress. Not to mention mental stress. Oh well. Spring break is coming up soon. very soon. and with it, midterms...unfortunately. Oh well, maybe this will be my chance to catch up with IR. Study group, here I come. You know it. I am gonna study study study study all night long. right.

1:45 am - Somebody tell me how this happened...
|
Okay, so I let the situation get out of hand. a little. but just a bit. All year my RA has been showing up drunk at 2 am in our hallway, laughing and talking loudly with her chummy freshman friends, and all year I have withstood the urge to reprimand her. Now, I did tell her she was being loud once. But I was nice about it. sort of.
So. The other night I was sick - I'd been coughing for two hours straight, and I couldn't get to sleep - I was tired - it was the night before a horseshow, too, so I literally had to get up at 5:30 am - and I was cranky - I'd already walked down the hall once and asked a resident to shut her door or shut the hell up. Add all this to the fact that I'd been suppressing the urge to report her all fucking year and you get one volatile temper. and it can be quite the force to be reckoned with. I may be nice, I may be reasonable, but if you push hard enough you are going to get burned. And she did. So I took the shot gun off the wall and fired two warning shots...into her head. haha jk. but anyways, I was fed up to the point where I didn't give a shit that she could make my life hell for the rest of the semester for yelling at her. So I went into the hall and told her to shut the fuck up and do the goddamn job that the university is paying her to do. She reacted maturely. not. but then again, it's kind of hard to think rationally when you're drunk.
Anyways, I wish I hadn't yelled at her. It has only made the situation worse, but, to be honest, I meant everything I said. But now she is trying with all her tiny might to get me in trouble. The funniest and most ironic thing is, though, is that she said she saw me drinking at I-club social on Thursday, except that I wasn't. even though it was completely open bar. and they weren't checking id's. But guess who was plastered? Yup, you guessed it. She was. So much so that she actually came over to us and said that for residents on her hall we weren't dancing dirty enough, and then she proceeded to grind on poor unprotected Nick who was very, very confused.
So. the conclusion is - she can A) finally answer her door when I knock (since I have knocked 4 times now) and we can try to resolve this issue on our own or B) she can take me to the judicial council and get humiliated in front of them because she has absolutely nothing but lies against me (not to mention I have friends on the judicial council)
But. I do not have time for this. Hopefully it will all work out. ugh
meanwhile I am exhausted and I have got to sleep sooooo much.
and yeah. the IR test kicked my ass.

7:08 pm - Somehow I need to convince myself that I can't do everything...
|
hmm this week has been hectic as all hell. yesterday I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. And then 3 am rolled around and my friend informed me that an assignment that involved going to a museum (which did not open until 1 pm, mind you) was due today, not Tuesday like I had thought.
So. skipped lunch. again. and did work. ended up being late to french, and I forgot my notebook. but I did get everything done. And hopefully I can manage my time better this week so that I can eat three meals a day and get more than 5 hours of sleep every night.
Oh well. Tonight I am fighting the fever with peach salsa, fleece blankets and a romantic comedy. I can't wait.

10:54 pm - Overall, good day - accomplished a lot.
|
sweet!. So today was a very good day. I feel very in control. Thank god. Cleaned up my room, washed my dishes, did my laundry, took care of that nagging voice in the back of my head. Everything's under control. Too bad I still have to write a two page paper. Now, you might be thinking, gee, Hayley that's not much at all. Well you try writing two pages of French - without being repetitive or boring. Yeah. Good luck.
On another note, The Vagina Monologues is going to be incredible! and I can't wait!! Also, I can finally do a somewhat okay backroll in Taijutsu.
Life is good.

1:17 am - driving all day.
|
Wow, it is amazing how much just driving around venting to a friend can really improve your mood. I definitely drove enough today to be more than halfway home. (and I live 6 hours away) And to tell the truth, I wouldn't have minded terribly going home. For some reason, I dreaded returning to school, it was like there was something scary here that I was too chicken to face, and I had to get away. I really just wanted to go home and be engulfed by my mom's hug and snuggle up to the fleece blanket on the couch with something warm and tasty to drink. Honestly, I've never been opposed to change before - this is the first time I can remember being homesick. But inevitably, I had to come back, even though - had I had an infinite supply of gas, I would still be driving. Running away has never been part of my nature anyways. Has it? Maybe it has, and I just never recognized it. Well I am going to detangle this because I have got to have some closure.

4:30 pm - you're hired. (said with a Trump accent) O.o
|
so yeah. I have a job now. awesomeness...it's going to be pretty sweet.
Also. had my first voice lesson - went really well. My prof helped with my breathing and posture, but she said that she was surprised that my pitch was pretty good considering I don't know a single damn thing about voice. ha - but I couldn't keep from laughing every time I tried to hit notes. I have an embarrassment problem, I think. Nerves, that is. hmm right.
So on another note, taijutsu last night was awesome - I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of the more basic moves, that is, my neck and shoulders don't hurt as bad as they did after the first lesson. haa. love how progress is measured by the absence of pain. hee
Everything's been going really well, it's kind of like pieces are just falling into place, and my life is sorting itself out. It's quite nice to be busy all the time, actually. I really am enjoying myself. I feel like I was such a bum last semester, and that would explain why I had desparately wanted to transfer; now, I can't really imagine myself anywhere else. There are people out there like me, and there are a lot more of them than I thought.
I love people. They're so interesting.

|
no stop signs, speed limit - nobody's gonna slow me down.
hmm. didn't make Tegonni, but then I didn't expect to either. Oh well. I feel like I am improving at least somewhat. Auditioning certainly helps, but then so does being in a Basics of Acting class and having an interesting theatre roomie. :D
So. Vagina Monologues coming up. That's going to be sweet. Vday is not. (dump your significant jerk day will be a hoot, though - I'll have to ask liz which day that was again so as not to miss it).
sometimes I wonder if it is the wisest idea to post pictures on facebook. but what the hell, where would our entertainment be otherwise? Computers have ruined this society, nobody talks in person anymore.
Oh dear, my roomie just imitated the laugh of some poor unfortunate soul in the hallway. I think I am rubbing off on her. haha.
blah. here comes february. what happened to the beginning of the semester? I think I am going to run off with a circus troupe. That would be way cooler than here.

1:23 pm - Frenchy-ness?
|
Huh. So I discovered this strange thing that my brain does when I've had a drink. My speech changes. And I mean dramatically changes. I started speaking in a British accent. and I couldn't stop. I tried to do an Australian accent, but it really didn't work at all - I decided that Australians talk a bit like they have a lot of marshmallows in their mouths, but I just couldn't get it to work. Oh well. So then I started speaking in French, and couldn't stop. It was like my brain only had the capacity to think in one language, and once I started speaking French it was impossible to switch back. it was quite entertaining.
So when we were walking back to our dorm, I was still speaking in French and we passed some random person who exclaimed "was that hayley??!" and I am very interested to find out who that was. Unfortunately I was not really paying any attention to them, so I didn't catch a name or face. ha.
Oh well, I did get told that I look like I popped out of a fashion magazine. That was funny. Except today I am wearing a ballcap and a sweatshirt. Yay for no clean clothes.
