today was nice. i spent it with adam, driving/shopping around. (we didn't buy anything, but eh! who needs to buy anything? browsing is good.) we also cleaned the house (vacuumed, did the dishes, laundry, etc.) it was a nice break from studying constantly, which is starting to wear me thin. ugggghh i have three midterms on monday. i've been studying, while keeping up on current homework, which can be exhausting. at least i have one midterm out of the way. i think i did well on that. *yawn*
i talked to one of my most bestest bestest friends of all time tonight, which was a huge deal and awesome. i've missed talking to lynn so much. she is one of my friends from omak and my graduating class (i've known her since kindergarten) that is actually super intelligent (WOAH! no joke! someone from omak? intelligent?) and kind. i think a visit to oregon may be in order! :D
well, adam made the best pico de gallo (oh god i spelled that so wrong.. i know it) and YUM it made me so sleepy, which is an odd reaction to a spicy food :S we also had broiled mahi mahi. frozen but nutritious. egads! i need some tequila to top off that dinner. :| seriously. some reposado. i haven't had tequila in almost a year. i only like a teeeensy bit though, because i don't like to get drunk. getting drunk is not for me, i get really loopy and/or sad. and it isn't very good for your lee-ver. just a bit is fine.
and wtf is up with 'ed hardy'? i went to the mall today and it is EVERYWHAR! what IS ed hardy? it is fucking expensive, whatever it is. 100 dollars for a fucking cotton slave labor tshirt with some cheap graphics printed on it. people will pay for anything though, i guess my FP purchases can be way nuts, but i've never spent 100 dollars on a cotton slave labor tshirt. :S and i noticed the stuff looks like tattoos... why not just.. buy a tattoo for that much? makes sense, right? :b
im tired and i want to watch a pixar movie. toy story would be good.

I've been meaning to tell this story.
About a week ago, Adam picks me up outside the Viking Union. I get in the car and he says "I saw the funniest thing in the bathroom today. You know that Jimi Hendrix quote, 'Only when the power of love outweighs the love of power, the world will know peace'? Well, someone had wrote that on the bathroom wall."
Someone else had wrote below it 'That shit don't pay the bills'
Sun when will you come back? D:
I'm tired and it is Sunday. Sundays are, for all extensive purposes, torture.
At least the Library is deserted.

i'm feeling better and better about majoring in environmental science. i called huxley college (which is in WWU, for those who don't go to western and are currently thinking 'what? a different college?') and set up an appointment tomorrow to go over my degree plan etc. this degree includes maaaath, and i can also minor in maaaath, which is awesome. i prefer the idea of environmental science as my major because i'd prefer working in the field rather than the field of mathematics. a BS in math would likely end me in a cubicle, which.. will not work for me, if i can avoid it. :d
i've been studying for my midterms frantically. i have three on the 9th and one on the 4th. i'm not too scared because i'm preparing now, but.. still a bit intimidated. study study study!!!1 always! right? riiiiiiiiight?! *pokes nikki and courtney* hahahaha ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i'm sure you guys are about to explode, too.
i've also been thinking: i need a 'special' blog. i mean, i have my wordpress, which i never use. and i have this journal, which i love and i'll always keep. but.. i need a special blog, as in a blog with a special purpose. my life and creativity: the blog!
maybe a blog to post photos in? i'm pretty staunch about not posting my art online, but i've been thinking.. why not? with my new computer, i can use my tablet to draw whenever i have free time (...) i could make a doodle blog. or a photo blog. maybe when adam and i start cycling, we could make a cycling blog? or a garden blog. blahblah blah. lol. listen to me ramble about stupid blog ideas. i'm really not the best at avoiding rambling.
i'll keep considering. i want to make a blog that isn't a waste of time, or a commercial sinkhole. hmmmmmmmmmmm. *scratches hed* o_<
i know it will be on LJ, though. i want to be able to keep my most loved LJ friends, whom i've known forever and ever. <3 i've been friends with jer and lolly for over 9 years, now.
i just need to do something creative, i haven't painted in a month now D: and i haven't drawn in weeks. :\ we haven't been taking morton up into the woods, either. i guess this is midterms.. this is ALWAYS midterms. nobody has any life left in them.
sighhhhhhhhhhh time to do homework. i have an essay to write and 30 logic problems to solve, as well as two chapters to read.
i usually laugh at all the kids who idealize college, yet complain that their 8 hour a day job is hard. imagine going to class all day... to come home to at least 6 hours of homework. at least. going to school is rewarding and fun.. but it is a lot of work. even art degrees involve work.
waiting tables or whatever is not easy either, but at least you can come home and be lazy the rest of the night. you can have hobbies, or play video games, or watch tv or whatever the hell you want to do. homework destroys ALL of that. we haven't even played mario galaxy more than twice because.. we just can't. there is too much fucking homework.
and when i DO update this journal, i am here because i'm doing homework for logic online. WOOO!

i'm thinking about environmental science (specifically Environmental Toxicology) along with mathematics as a possible minor. here's why:
Required preparatory courses for Bachelor of Science degree, Environmental Science major
Required courses completed at WWU or equivalent courses completed at another university or college for admission to the Environmental Science major in Huxley College.
* One year of General Biology (at WWU: Biol 204, 205, 206)
* One year of General Chemistry (at WWU: Chem 121, 122, 123)
* Math 124 Calculus and Analytic Geometry (two quarters are preferred)
* Geog 203 Physical Geography (preferred) or Geol 211 Physical Geology
* Econ 206 Intro to Micro-Economics
* Expository Writing course above 101 level (any course listed as BCOMM in the timetable)
* Political Science course
This course outline interests me a great deal more than the outline for the Mathematics major. (This is just the requirements to get into Huxley college.) AND, math is included in this degree, which means I will take at least one high level math course. I can technically minor in math AND supplement my degree. This degree also suits my personality.
Do you guys think this would be a useful degree? Global warming is an increasingly large problem. But I want to have a job. Heh n_n I don't expect to make six figures, but I do need a decent job.
Here is a list of Alumni and their jobs:
( jobs jobs jobs )
----------------------
In other news, I can't wait to get my laptop. -_- And Winter quarter ALWAYS SUCKS.
And I don't mean to sound like a lazy ass, but COLLEGE R HARD. Adam and I had this discussion at dinner tonight. It is now OBVIOUS to me why kids drop out at such a high rate. COLLEGE R HARD! Sigh, but seriously. I am v scared of my midterms coming up. And ALSO it is nutty to think that we are already to midterms. And my math placement test.
Why does deciding on a major have to be so intimidating? Gash.
[edit]
We are preparing for the San Francisco trip, too. Which makes me think--ADVENTURE! We're planning on staying a night or two in Cannon Beach and then continuing our trip down there. I'm thinking we should figure out all the sight-seeing sort of stuff we want to do. Any ideaaaas? (LOL I ask my friends list for help so much.)

sitting at a lab in the communications building. not my fav. lab but whatever. i prefer the labs in haggard hall, much better computers. i finished all my homework so i am v. happy and i feel like i have a solid concept of the new unit we're beginning in logic.
aaaand my laptop should be here soon. apparently between the 2nd and 6th. :D it is the macbook, 13 inch 2ghz with 2gb ddr2 and a duo core processor (white). for all you computer savvy nerds out there with specs in mind n_n heh. ou leptop, when will u arrive~?
adam and i bought super mario galaxy (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) most fun i've had playing a game in FOREVER. i mean, don't get me wrong, i love love all our wii games, but there is just -something- about smg that is amazing, engaging and addictive. (perhaps the innovative gameplay, physics, and design.) all of it combined, with great graphics (considering the wii's abilities) just mixes for this awesome gaming experience. i sound like i'm trying to sell the game. but it really is so much fun. in fact i can't wait to go home and play it :D
enywho. i'm ready to head home. and mr. morton is waiting. ahh the corgi dog.

another friday!
i finally got around to getting a computer. i don't know when it will be ready to ship or what, but hopefully soon. i guess i needed one, adam always has the yellow laptop.
and also, i'm doing a friends list clean out. i'm only deleting those who never update or i don't know.
and if anyone ever wants to be added to read my friends only posts, just comment me at any time. oooo super secret life ~ actually i rarely ever post friends only entries, but i might make it a habit because the internets r creepy.
uhhh.. what else. school is good, bham is good, weather has been SUNNY. i want more plants for the apartment. maybe adam and i can go look at plants today to decorate with. i <3 plants.
i think i want to go to seattle tomorrow, maybe to visit the aquarium and eat. seattle is an hour away, so we travel down there frequently. maybe we'll just walk around on the pier.
adam and i have decided on fish for dinner. maybe some nice salmon? or fresh crab @_@ YUM

first of all, welcome president barack obama! our country clearly loves you (well.. the majority, obviously!) i listened to the inauguration coverage this morning on NPR next to mortie in my PJs. mortie thought the announcer was scary, hahaha. adam was in class, but i told him all about it :D i crieeeed. what a long awaited moment.
i decided to change my lj a bit with a fresh new layout etc. :) the sun has been shining lately so i wanted something bright. i just need to change my font, now. i think this font is too blocky for my lj style. cramp!
i've been keeping up with my hw and math. between hw, taking care of morton, cleaning the apt, trying to lose weight and exercise things have been hectic.
although, the campus is huuuuge, and i park pretty opposite to the side of campus my classes are on. the walk is very long, and to add to that, i hike up stairs (no elevator!) with a book bag on. so i've been losing weight just going to class daily. although i've had to cut back my eating, too. which isn't terrible, i was eating too much.
i have no idea what i weigh, but my size 27 pants fit now, which is a good sign. i used to be a 25 though. :\ when and where did i gain all this weight? i've always been a tremendously small person due to my height, and walking around seattle constantly kept it off. you really can't sit around all day and lose weight, that is impossible. so.. OMAK is probably the reason why, honestly. ah well, it will come off eventually if i just stick to dieting.
i'm going to have to watch the beer, though. and adam and i bought a new pilsner tonight at TJs. damnit >_< forgot the name though.
okay, time to start on homework and stop whining about weight.

One might think I'd prefer to be fashionable due to my illogical passion for unique clothing.
Regaurdless, I will never, ever ever wear something uncomfortable. Ever.
I hate heels, straps, corsets, bad fabric or tight fitting clothing.
I don't care how unique/amazing it is.. if it makes me uncomfortable, I will not wear it.

aside from studying for the mpt, i've been fairly.. not busy. philosophy is not the most difficult degree, i am learning. hence, why i am so eager to do well on this placement test.
life has just been a blur so a recap is difficult. i feel like i am waiting for something, still. probably because my classes are so easy.
tonight adam and i had thai out. friday is our go-out night. we limit ourselves to once a week. we discussed the current situation with isreal/palestine. we listen to NPR constantly, so naturally, the issue has been on the brain. i don't really want to say anything here, but i will say that i wish a cease fire was in near sight. :\
winter is passing by very slowly. i feel as though january has taken forever. but that is okay, i love january.
we had sunshine today and that was absolutely -wonderful-. sunshine combined with heavy fog is actually rather neat.
adam and i have decided to save to money to drive to san francisco this spring break. his uncle lives down there (well his entire family does, aside from his parents) and we're going to stay with him and venture about the city for a week or two. i don't know how much we should save, but probably in the four digits area.. but that is fine.
anywho. we're going to head to petco to buy morton some chews, and i think this lab closes soon.

currently studying away for the math placement test. i finished my homework early today so that i could study for a few hours tonight. i am going to study every night for 3 hours for math. so that means i will have to finish my homework early every night. that is fine, this goal is going to require some serious dedication.
but this time spent will be seriously worth it. i am willing to do what it takes to accomplish this. WOOT!
i am very hungry, now, though!!

more than any place, ever. actually, it takes #1 with perkins, old country buffet, and fucking cost cutter. UGH!!1 try studying in here sometime! they play the most horrid music. try doing logic amongst 30 people and smooth jazz with an overload of alto sax. gross.
adam's physics homework is seriously killing him.
my logic is going fine, but i'm getting sort of annoyed with figuring out whether something is vald, invalid, and what form it is. very useful, however, and logic is technically a math course.. so i am technically taking 2 low level math courses this quarter.. heh heh :D
trig has been going well, too. WOOT!
anywho i need to finish this homework.

REI had this humongous (sp?) sale today. i found a pair of sidi cyling shoes for 56.00. 120.00 regular!! and a pair of pearl izumi cycling socks for 2.50!!!1 wtf!! then i went online and they had a giro helmet, on sale for 24.00!!! regular 120.00! talk about GEAR SCORE! i also found a sigg bottle for my sister michelle, she wanted one for xmas.
talk about finds! adam found a nice helmet on bikenashbar.com, too. it was 46% off. we now have all our gear, aside from bike locks. :D woo hoooO!
i'm tired. whew. thank god it is friday. and we have some serious animal crossing to play. :b
today was good, though, the sun came out for about 30 minutes. heh. n_n
my homework is mostly done, and i feel good. i'm going to go continue to work on trig. i talked with adam's calculus teacher today (she is way nice, and not intimidating at all) and she said i will -definitely- be able to major in math. :D
i'm heading over to the disability center for my test anxiety, though. i need to pass this placement test and not bomb it like i did the first time. :\
i will do fine.
idk what to eat for din din, maybe a guiness and a pizza slice. we bought some guiness last night. i <3 teh guiness, a bit more than stella. stella has started to give me awful tummy aches. i think it is too carbonated. :\ sad, very sad--because the taste of stella is pretty much perfect. but guiness is a close second. and guiness makes my tummy feel -better-.

well, my homework is done, and i studied math. adam bought a ti-89 and so i've been using that while i study. its coming along well.
i'm really damned tired, though. time for bed.
