One, Two, Three, Four, Tell Me That You Love Me More....

Thanksgiving Break is four days away, and it cannot get here soon enough.

I am beyond excited to settle into the couch, watch a ridiculous amount What Not to Wear, trade in my backpack in for a blanket... and sleep.

Sleep...in my own bed.
Where it's supposed to be on the wall.
Facing the direction it's supposed to in relation to everything else in my room.
With the window right next to it that doesn't require a contortionist to pry it open.


I. Can't. Wait.

"I'm Sick of Brown, and it Looks Like Fun..."

"i'm gonna do what i want to, and i'm gonna dye my hair blue."

i've gone blue, and i'm PSYCHED.

......just a streak of blue.
on the bottom section.
no worries.
and it's semi-permanent.

not like that other girl on campus whose hair is a crazy combo of blue, green, pink, etc, etc, etc. with a spot in the back that looks like she intentionally took her flat iron and tried to melt her hair to her scalp. It's really nice.

As attractive as her hair is, I thought I would let her be "that girl".

and I'll just be "that other girl who dyes her hair way too often".

Half an Hour = Game Over.

Last night, I pulled an all-nighter.

I think I got about half an hour of sleep in all. It was awful. Thank you, Dr. Beck.

Anyways...

My Really Freaking Long Day [also Entitled "The Really Obnoxious Person I am When I am Tired"] -By Lauren

1. I stayed awake last night by drinking coffee (which I swore off last semester). The coffee was good. Staying up all night=not so good.
2. This morning, I was a jerk. I wanted to kill everyone and everything was awful and terrible. I called my parents and got annoyed with them for things that were my fault, and I went to my first class wanting to punch people in the face. I attempted to throw myself mini pity parties when I saw people I knew, and I sank so low as to play the "How Late Did You Stay Up Last Night?" Game. [I either won the game or tied.]
3. I turned in the project I'd stayed up all night doing, worried about it for like ten minutes, and decided I didn't really care anymore, which led me to my giddy phase.
4. This phase involved me writing notes to the girl next to me in class, being really talkative and thinking lots of things were funny.
5. After that wore off, I felt exhausted and spent the rest of my day collecting pet peeves. I found a wide variety of reasons to be annoyed with people. I also attempted to fall asleep everywhere.
6. During one of these attempts, I actually drooled on the floor of the green room. Awesome. I tried to pretend like it didn't happen when I woke up, but it definitely did.

Faces I Should Not Have Made:

A montage of the bad decisions I have made in when a camera is in front of my face.



I'm so happy...because I'm at summer camp and I don't know you at all... so I am going to make this uncomfortable face and put a thumbs up in there just for fun.



This might be one of the all-time worst photos of me. Ever.




This picture could also be titled "Hair Colors I Never Should Have Had".



The confused, weird girl sits alone in the corner...



This one screams "I'm a really huge creeper."

A Couple of Things I Would Like to Say to a Couple of Lovely People...

To avoid lashing out in person and potentially killing someone, I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings towards some certain individuals in a safe manner. Here goes.

Dear __________,
I hate your class so so much, I hate the subject that you teach, and if I have to take another semester that you teach, I might jump out a building. You are the most confusing woman I have ever met. Thanks for the work you are doing in destroying my GPA.

Dear __________,
First of all, I would like to mention that some of us are taking classes other than yours. While I do enjoy your class, you give a heck of a lot of homework. Also, I wish you would stop being such a guy about everything. When I ask you a question, I mean it in the way that the question makes sense due to the context of our conversation...not in the most literal translation that you can come up with. This would save a lot of time that I spend re-explaining myself and trying to make you understand that what I am asking is really not that difficult.

Dear __________,
You drive me insane. Not only do you get like freaking 90's on all of our quizzes, which makes me angry because no one should be doing well in this class, you mumble like I have never heard and you ask questions that make absolutely no sense. You are obviously talented in this subject area... but it would save like 8 years of our lives if you would stop asking these nonsensical questions in your annoying "I'm a frat guy and i don't care" voice. Thanks.



Oh So Much Love...
Lauren

Why Facebook Promotes Learning:

Every college kid knows that Facebook is an integral part of the learning process.

Not only can we stalk our friends/people we have never seen before in our lives, but posting the perfect Facebook status helps today's youth learn to create concise and witty one-liners every single day.

(or, depending upon mood, perhaps a deep and emotional sentiment, all kept within the constraints of that little box above your wall.)

We have learned to be cryptic, putting the undefined "you" in particular statuses that deal with emotional releases of some sort (even though everyone knows who you are referring to... including that person, let's be honest here.)

But, okay, the real reason why Facebook is a great learning tool?

Just within the past two days, it has led me on intense Google searches to find the correct way to spell the plural form of "ellipsis", and taught me that "eggnog" is in fact one word, not two.

Point made.

Somebody Kill Me Please.

My Past Two Facebook Statuses Define My Day:


Status Number One:

Reasons Why Today is the Best Day Ever:
1. the antics of last night already made today good.
2. my first class got cancelled.
3. i got an override into a class i really wanted.
4. Mrs. Greens: Breakfast for Lunch.
5. Dessert: CANDY CORN.

Status Number Two:

Reasons Why Today Stopped Being the Best Day Ever:
1. I realized I missed an appointment this morning.
2. My Spanish teacher decided to tell us TODAY that we have a test on Wednesday...on material she taught us this afternoon in class.
3. Tech Week.
4. My Spanish presentation is due the day before opening night.
5. So.Much.Homework.
