Well, Hello again,
I know I'm not being very good about this whole posting thing. I've had a pretty crazy schedule this month. I did actually get the other class but now there's been a change of plans and I have to drop back to 18 credit hours. So, needless to say I'll be looking for a job to keep me on my toes instead. I should have probably started filling out applications this weekend...
Okay, so here's a run down of what has been going on.
I just boiled over some cheese pasta in my microwave and had to clean it up. Irrelivant information.
Okay so you know my class schedule, so I'll talk about that. My classes aren't too terribly demanding. Lots of reading and annotating but I've only had to write one paper so far and it was a first draft that we were supposed to build on the rest of the week so it wasn't terribly hard either. Geography and Economics aren't too bad either. I was expecting a lot more work from those two but maybe we're still in the introductory period. Who knows?
Umm. Things got a little complicated this past week when my advisor basically told me that going abroad again and continuing French weren't in my best interest. He was a jerk about it and I wasn't too happy afterward but I've moved on from there. I'm trying to work out at least another semester of adventure before I have to buckle down and finish up. Again, who knows what will happen with that?
My roommate moved out yesterday, so I have a room to myself. It's a nice change of scenery for me and I'm hoping that I get to keep it like this for the rest of the semester. I have to wait and see because of a rumor that they are going to start charging those of us that have a single room regardless of whether or not we chose that option or not. At this point it's just a rumor so until I get official communication as to that I'm going ot enjoy having my own room and the priveledges that come with that....
January's been pretty dry as far as snow fall here. We just got a little today but mostly it's been raining. Weather is silly, especially in Bowling Green.
My migranes have returned. I get them and they are sometimes terrible, sometimes tollerable. I seriously thing that they have to do with stress but I mean I'm no doctor so I can't say for sure. Things in my life right now just cause stress and that's all there is to it. I can't change that so much but dealing with my stress, I should find time to relax more.
An example of destressing....
Last night I had the room to myself for the first time so I celebrated a little. I rearranged the furniture, cleaned and then curled up on my bed with a box of Triscuits and some garlic and herb cheese, watching Sherlock Holmes (the version with Robert Downey Jr. that they just made a sequel to). It was nice to just have time to myself for once but I can see this getting a little lonely so I'll have to do something about that....
I found a new book series that I've been reading when I feel like taking some down time to myself. The first was called Matched and the second is Crossed (reading now) by Ally Condie. It's a really good series and sometimes it reminds me of the Hunger Games which has become a recent....let's not call it an obsession, it's more like a small passion/hobby....something like that. I just like it enough that I've considered getting a small tattoo of a mocking jay (symbol of rebelion from the book) behind my ear. That's probably just a pipe dream though....
I don't know what else to say.
I'd love to get some snail mail sometimes if you people out there are willing. I love getting it and I love sending it. Cassi and I currently have this sort of penpal thing going on but I have to admit that it's kinda lame because we can just pick up the phone and call eachother, which we frequently do anyway....
so yeah, drop me a line.
If you need my address, just ask and I'll make sure you get it!
So until my next post,
Blessed Be

Spring Semester 2012 Day 2
Well hello again,
I really didn't mean to let this go for as long as I did but I guess I just forgot to keep writing here. I mean I've been busy too but that really shouldn't be so much of an excuse. People are busy and have lives but are also able to keep their commitments at the same time. So why can't I?
Happy New Year!
even though it's late. I feel like I should still tell everyone to have a good year because the year is just beginning and the possiblities are endless.
As for me,
I'm studying my brains to mush. I've got 19 credit hours at the moment and if I get the special permission that I need to get, then I'm going to take 22 because I feel like I can handle it.
What are those classes?
Here's my schedule:
Monday: 9:30-10:20 French 102
1:30- 2:20 Geography
4:30- 5:45 Econmics
Tuesday: 8:00- 9:15 General Studies Writing 1120
11:30-12:45 Latin American Literature
1:00- 2:15 Latin American Civilization
Wednesday: 9:30-10:20 French 102
1:30- 2:20 Geography
4:30- 5:45 Econmics
Thursday: 8:00- 9:15 General Studies Writing 1120
9:30- 10:20 French 102
11:30-12:45 Latin American Literature
1:00- 2:15 Latin American Civilization
Friday: 9:30-10:20 French 102
1:30- 2:20 Geography
The optional class that I'm trying to get in on top of all of these is Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 3:30-4:20 and is called Pop Culture in Latin America. At the moment I'm just sitting in on it because to have 22 credit hours you have to get the dean's permission.
Christmas break or Winter break, whatever you want to call it, was okay. I worked at the supermarket in my hometown some and made some money. I got to see my best friends and snuggle with my favorite little puppy dog but I felt really unproductive the whole time I was home. It made for some very poor decisions that lead to sitting in front of the television or turning on music to pour through the surround sound speakers so loud that I could hear it pretty much in every room in the house.....
I've moved across campus for this semester so e-mail me if you want my new address. I have to say that part of me wishes that I didn't have to leave the house even though I wasn't being treated well there. There's a comfort factor that I'm lacking at the moment that I know I really didn't have there either......I just keep going round in circles with my thought process and things get more and more complicated as I go.
I'm still writing even though my other blog has been sorely neglected. I have one that I'm worrking on at the moment that I really enjoy working on but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep working on it. I have a feeling that as soon as I start getting assignments, my novel will fall by the waiside again. I guess that I just have to remember my priorities and stick with it.
Things will turn out as they turn out. No changing what is already planned for us, even when we think that we're making a random or spontaneous decision.
I leave you with a latin phrase that I found recently and thought was interesting.
Testis temporum, The witness of time,
lux veritatis, the light of truth,
vita memoriae, the life of memory,
magistra vitae, the instructor of life.
nuncaa vetustatis. the herald of old age.
As always,
Blessed Be

Another Christmas Wish
I saw this cuff and I thought it was completely awesome. If I could get this somehow I would seriously be happy for a long while.

The Run Down
Well, it's been awhile.
I got a little busy and everything seemed to kinda snowball out of control but I did have some good bits in there too.
Let's see where do I start?
Well, for those of you following me on Facebook, they're not going to do imports anymore so when I post here, it won't show up there. They'll do this on November 22 so just a heads up.
Halloween was interesting...
There was a party October 28 the Friday before Halloween in the French house. I was a ballerina by the name of Valentina Verdy, who comes from Paris and teaches at Indiana University. It was okay but kinda boring at the same time and like the silly person I am, I did dishes afterward. Then the next morning I hopped into my car and drove to Hicksville to share Halloween with family. I think we had fun that weekend. There was a lot of sweets and my very first meat pie a la uncle tony! It was delicious!!!!
On Sunday I got in my car and started to head back to BG but didn't quite make it. What we think happened is that the transmission went out but without having someone look at it that's really just the best guess we can come up with. So no more car....
Halloween itself was uneventful and kinda sad because I wanted my car to be all better and drivalble but that wasn't going to happen.
I started NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) on November 1st and plan to finish up my 50,000 words before the deadline. I'm at 47,816 words at the moment but that will probably change by the end of the night. Which leaves, 2,184 words left to get the ending in.
Anyone know why the ending is the hardest part of the story to write???
That next weekend I was going to babysit but I was canceled on twice. Once by the lady who lives in Sylvania (who I still haven't babysat for yet) and the other by Abbi who decided that spending the night at a friends house was better than hanging with her cousin. Oh well.
Cassi and I went to the mall in Ft. Wayne and went window shopping and had dinner next to the huge two story carousel that they have in the middle of the food court. We made wishes in the fountain and then headed to the Ville where Cassi was going to drop me off. On the way, we saw a shouting star and made another wish, which led us to decide that we deserved a Stake and Shake milkshake for being awesome.
Saturday, I hung out with Grandpa Bill. We went to church in this cute little church in a town that I can't remember the name of. It was a huge contrast from the cathedrals of Spain and barely had any embelishment..Afterwards we went to Rita's in Edgerton and had the most delicious BBQ ribs I've had in a real long time. And of course we had to finish it up with a slice of pie. Mine was mint chocolate pie.....to die for.....
And I think that's about it.
If you make it this far into reading this post then you get the bonus material so just keep reading on.
My week has been pretty normal. I thought that it was going to be insane with a paper due and two exams but I'm finding that I'm handling it pretty well and I even got a paper done for next week and I'm starting on a project for the end of the semester.
No classes on Friday because of Veteren's Day so I'm going home when Cassi picks me up.... It's going to be a nice relaxing weekend I think and I'm really happy that I get to see mom, dad, and the boys.
Okay bonus material....
since you've made it to the very bottom of this post you get a special prize.
I've been talking to this guy who I like more and more as we get to know eachother. He's kinda super awesome and we kinda used up most of the minutes on my phone talking for hours on end....oooppps....
Happiness!!!!
Okay,
That's officially it.
Blessed Be all my wonderful readers!

Found Something Cool!
Hello again all!
I'm writing before classes today since it's Tuesday and I'm so totally tired. Tired enough that I think I may have actually dreamt in french last night. I do remember the word for fish in there somewhere but the context was off so I'm not sure what exactly was going on.
There's no heat in the French House still, and I have only two packets of hot chocolate left and four packets of tea.....It's sad but I'll make it to the weekend I think. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are both close enough to get to to get a hot beverage that I can probably handle that too.
What's for breakfast?
Well, breakfast is me rolling out of bed at 10 this morning and going down to the kitchen with a poptart then changing my mind and coming back up the stairs to drop the poptart in a drawer. I then pulled on clothes and went to Dunkin Donuts for a hot chocolate and a breakfast sandwich. It's a sad excuse for breakfast but I didn't feel like doing much....
Plans for the day?
Well, I have class at one then lunch with friends and another class at four. After that is Spanish Club at 6 in the Pub so that I get my weekly dose of all spanish conversation. (there's one on mondays for french). To finish I'll be doing some hardcore homework in prep for Wednesday and then falling asleep in a blanket burrito.
Listening to?
Thity Second's to Mars This is War
Something Awesome I found?
Why yes, I have one of those.
Olde Tyme Writing Set
I found it when I was doing stuff on Figment.com with my writing. One of the prizes to a contest was this set and I think it's awesome! I've wanted one since I started writing and it may actually be on my bucket list to write with a quill.
Something Random?
It amazes me the amount of Christmas stuff that is out already in stores. Do they really expect people to buy this stuff before Halloween has even happened? I mean seriously. Then when Christmas does actually come around does it all go on sale or disappear in favor of Valentines day? What goes through their heads when they say "yeah that's a good idea"?
Sorry no fun squirrel story today. They seem to be finding warm places to be now that it's getting colder.
BTW.
I'm not looking forward to snow so be prepared for a rant on that when it happens.
Hasta Prontito!

BG Again
I just thought I'd write a little something to say that I'm back at school from my beautiful break. I really didn't realize how much I missed the colors changing on the leaves until I was driving up there and sounding like mom.... "Look at the colors. They're so pretty...." I think they smell good personally and the campfire with the whole family was awesome. I can't think of a better way to end a night then sitting by the fire watching my brothers be idiots in the dark and piling wood on the fire until it gets taller than Zeke....
I probably won't go home again until christmas but at least I got to go once this semester and I know that I always have space in Hicksville when I want to get away for a night or something.
It's quiet in the house at the moment since people aren't back from break yet. I'm enjoying it. That and the sunshine out my window. It was a beautiful drive. There wasn' t much traffic and I made pretty good time though I wasn't trying to get here before a certain time frame; case in point, I had to take Zac his economy book before he went to class and I stopped to say goodbye to mom before stopping at Coffee Talk for a Chai Tea Latte for the road.
The most frustrating part of the day was when the vending machine at the rest stop wouldn't take my quarters....so I had to dig around in my purse and find nickels and dimes to make 75 cents after the dollar that it took with no problems.
Random add-in... There's a funny gray squirrel outside. He's twitching his tail and it looks like he's dancing around a spot.....it probably has to do the dance of "protect my nuts"....
and now he's run away up a tree because someone walked by. Mean peoples....
Song I'm listening to at the moment: Boy by Ra Ra Riot
If you like my little imput things (i.e. Song, random add-in, frustrating point) let me know. I decided that I was going to put them in because I figured that this blog was getting a little boring.
Hasta Pronto!

Pink at night, Sailor's delight...
I'm posting today because I said I would soon and I totally forgot the meaning of soon I guess. I've been busy though! I had papers to write and stuff like that. Plus with midterms starting in the coming weeks I might just go insane but that's okay because right now, at this very moment, I can look out the window and see this beautiful pink orange sunset that isn't really a sunset at all becasue it's raining and subsequently clowdy. It made my day.
Something else cool that happened.....well okay so I'm pretty boring and I don't have anything really spectacular to report. I'm just hanging out, doing homework, staying out of trouble and trying to keep up spirit even though I've hit my rut.
Just watch.
My life will get turned on its head for some reason or another very soon. I'm sure of it.
On a different note, I'm officially assuming that my previous migrains and the ones that I have off and on now are caused by stress. I'm not taking anything for them though so I'm sure it makes me cranky and antisocial when I get them but can you really blame me for not wanting to be around people when my head pounds at the slightest noise?
When I have time I write as many of you know and I've recently been shown a website where I can share some of my stories and people will actually read them... I have four fans at the moment....
Becca's Figment Page
The above link should take you to my page where you can access all of the works I've posted.
I guess that's about all I have for now. If something new comes up I guess I'll try to get it posted when I can but I'm not going to promise anything.
Untill next time, stay happy, stay healthy and
Blessed Be
