awake and alive

I lied.  It’s been more than three weeks since I last posted.  Maybe I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

I should be banned from blogging having passed the three week mark since my last post.  I suppose my blog updates reflect the amount of free time that I have: close to none.

This week is the one where it all comes down.  This week is going to be more difficult that finals week.  I have 4 exams to take, 2 homework assignments to complete, and 1 project due.  When it is done, I can have a short sigh of relief before finals.

I don’t know when I can post more, but I will say that it will be in less than three weeks.

I’m not sure if I’ve just run out of interesting things to blog about (which implies that nothing interesting is happening to me), or if I just can’t decide what to blog about.

It’s probably the former.

I had two exams today.  I totally thought they both would be hard.  One of them had a ridiculous amount of materials that it covered (and you could bring them all to class), so I was definitely freaking out about that one.

Luckily they both seemed relatively easy, and not the easy where I did badly.

So, I’m and MSU student. I’m taking classes this semster, full time.

One of those classes is (as noted above) KIN108R.

What does this mean? Indoor Soccer.

Now, when I took this class at LCC, all we did was play games the whole class period.

Do we do that at MSU? No!

We run drills for most of class then scrimmage the last 10-15 minutes.

Alright, I can handle that. It’s not so bad. At least I’m not taking an academic course.

Wait! What’s that? I have to write a paper for this class? It has to be 2 pages double spaced?

Alright, I can deal with that. I wrote a composition for my Spanish class that was that long in like a couple of hours.

But wait, it’s not just a research paper, it’s a paper about some soccer team that I choose. So I have to research the team, and all the other teams in the league so I can make a prediction about the future games. I don’t follow any sports, and I could totally care less about how they are going to do.

So what’s the moral of this story? Don’t take indoor soccer at MSU, it’s lame (except when we scrimmage).

…and by poster, I mean blog post-er.

Sean moved in on Saturday, which is pretty cool.  There has been many a dog sparring since.

Um, it’s super icy outside, and I need to salt the living daylights out of my concrete and other entrance materials.

I just have a little bit of a cold now.  You know mucus coming out of my nose, a little bit of a cough.  Nothing serious.

There’s alot of snow outside, and I don’t like shoveling so often.  Snow is heavy when there’s so much of it, and since I own my house, I HAVE to shovel it.   It made my back all sweaty.  I tricked Kristie into touching said sweaty back.  She wasn’t very happy….

Well, I should be reading for class.  Goodbye for now…

Unfortunately I was sick all weekend.  I went to class today, but it was definitely too early to do so.  I felt miserable.

I don’t like being sick.   In fact, I hate being sick so much that I hate it when people don’t use proper sick etiquette.  Your mom always told you to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.  Well, your mom was half right.  Cough or sneeze into your sleeve (I find the elbow pit the best).  Unless you happen to have antibacterial junk that you use immediately after, you are spreading your stupid sicky germs everywhere!!!!  Also, if you don’t have a tissue and you have to snuff it up every two seconds, please try and make it quiet, especially if you’re in smallish class.  I hear you everytime, and it annoys me beyond what you can imagine (besides the fact that it gives me a headache/urge to vomit as a result of my forced imagination of the movement of your fluids).  In general, if your sick and you are out in public, be courteous, for the love of God please be courteous.

Also, while I’m ranting I figured I would get a few other things off my chest…  If you’re about to turn, it does not do anyone any good if you use your turn signal after you are in the turn lane or a split second before you actually turn.  If you just so happen to be kind enough to turn it on altogether, please do it before you brake, that way I can get out of your lane or at least be warned that you may be stopping soon.  Lastly, tailgating is a necessary evil, when used properly.  Tailgating is a means of communicating with the person in front of you that you would like to go faster and they are in your way (either you want to go faster than the speed limit, or the person in front of you does not care enough about driving to know the current speed limit).  If the person in front of you cannot possibly go faster (like they are behind a stupid slowey), back the heck off.  Your intimate automobilic presence does not make me feel all warm and fuzzy, rather it makes me feel hot and angry (to one degree or another).  Please, do everyone a favor and just be patient, almost everyone wants to go faster, so don’t be a jerk.

Rants aside, I have a plethora of pictures I posted earlier that need to be linked in…
