I have completely run out of things to talk about for this blog. But here goes my best. I woke up today surprisingly rested for the amount of sleep I had gotten. It was like I was actually excited to go to class, that was really weird. But then by 8, I crashed, and I am still up and so tired. I’m going to bed soon after I finish this. I have my lab practical tomorrow for engineering. Tonight there was a review session. It was really annoying because our GTA kept saying that we should go and then we’ll do fine on the test, but there wasn’t anything posted anywhere about what was actually covered. So she wasn’t just suggesting we go, it was basically like go or study EVERYTHING covered in labs. I wish they would have posted the power point somewhere online. So then when I looked online to see where the review session was going to be, and the power point said Caldwell 200. So I showed up there at 6:30, and the door was locked. There was another kid there confused, and I texted one of my friends and realized it was in Campbell 200. At the time I thought I was just being an idiot going to the wrong place. I even joked to my friends about it, this silly thing me and this other kid did. But then just now when I got back, I checked it again, and it actually did say Caldwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so angry. They’re going to hear about this in my weekly journal.

I forgot to blog yesterday! So here it is now, late, before English class. So I’m pretty excited, I just got back my engineering midterm back and I got a 91% when the average was a 85%. I don’t want to seem like a nerd for bragging about it, but it’s kind of exciting. And it was hard when I was with my friends because they’re all in the same class as me and I don’t want to be rude bragging about it. So here I am now because none of you are in my class! It is really wet outside. I didn’t have my umbrella and I walked all the way to south campus and then to the union. My feet were soaked and my hair enjoyed that extra washing. So while eating lunch with my friends, we were giving one of them a hard time because he hasn’t asked this girl out yet. They have been hanging out a lot, holding hands, and even kissed, and he keeps saying that it’s assumed they’re dating. Even more, it was her birthday yesterday; there isn’t a better opportunity to ask someone out than their birthday!
So today is my boyfriend’s birthday. I got him a stuffed koala, but I wanted to surprise him with something else. So I thought about making brownies for him, but I don’t have any pans, oil, eggs, bowls ect. So I wanted to bring up our best friend. He’s home not doing anything so I thought it would be fun for everyone if he came up. So he’s currently on his way up and I’m really excited. I’m really bad at keeping secrets.

It is cold! So I bought season football tickets, I only went to 3 of them, and I never stayed past half time. This time we would’ve have, the game was actually interesting, and it was Michigan, but it was too cold! I couldn’t feel my toes. That’s my worst spot for coldness, by toes. I have terrible circulation, like most girls, but I have gloves on my hands, but my feet hardly have anything! That and my butt always gets really cold. Basically my whole legs do. I want to invest pant jackets for my legs. Or I want to lose like 10 pounds so I can wear leggings under all my pants. Old Navy was actually selling long underwear, and I was really close to buying a bunch. I still don’t get why it isn’t more acceptable for people to be wearing multiple layers on their legs. I mean sometimes I walk out with 5 layers on top, and just one on the bottom! That doesn’t make sense. It should be more equal. But yeah girls always get way colder than boys, I think. There was actually this thing about it on the news. Like women need to get their reproductive parts way warm so every other part gets cold. And it is proven that we have much poorer circulation than men. I don’t get it. I’m just sitting here typing, and it’s a good temperature in here, my arms, legs, and face are fine, but my fingers are freezing. It’s like I always need to wear gloves.

Anyone else hate that feeling when you’re in bed and you realized you forgot to blog? Yeah that just happened. So I went black Friday shopping, but not on Friday, we went on Thursday. A couple of friends and I got together Thursday night to tye-dye some shirts, and then we went to Walmart to get a wii remote and Mario cart for wii. The only other game system I’ve had was nintentdo 64 and I loved Mario cart, so I figured it was a good thing to buy for wii. And I do like it, some of the tracks are the same, but I’m still adjusting to getting control of the remote. So we ended up going to Walmart 2 other times, after the third time we wanted to just stay up until target opened at 4. I realized Old Navy was already open by 12:30, so we went there. I just got a jacket and waited in line for an hour and a half. It was crazy. So then after standing so long we wanted to sit down. The only place open was Burger King. They had free coffee though, that was nice. We went in Best Buy next, I didn’t get anything, we just wanted to see the craziness. They only let in so many people at a time. So then we went to the mall. By then it was 9, so after we were done, I went home, but my friends continued on to the outlet malls north of us. Then we slept.

That’s what I’ve got so far. I think I have a lot better paper/argument than before. In other news, my mom, now an empty nester, got a wii for the family, so it will stay at the house. Yeah I know wii came out like 5 years ago, but we’re a family of all girls… so now we’re catching up. She just has the sports games and doesn’t even have a second controller. That’s what I’m going to do tomorrow, black Friday shopping! I’m going to get her some games and more controllers, either target or walmart. I also want to go to bath and body works and victoria’s secret on black Friday. My roommate is from China, and she’s going to Chicago, and she’s probably going to go shopping tomorrow, and I’m afraid I won’t have a roommate anymore. Black Friday is crazy, but crazy fun. Later on tonight I’m going to tye-dye Ohio State shirts for the game. Luckily Walmart is open today so I can get dye. So when I came home, my mom got this necklace of just buckeyes because she was wearing an Ohio State shirt at work and someone gave it to her, and then she gave it to me. I’m going to try to make something out of it, I’m just letting my creative juices flow right now. Also, I want to make a bunch of snowflakes for my room to hang from my ceiling, like we did in first grade, it just seems like fun.

and going back in time allows him to move on his tangent path like nothing happened. So I can continue to relate this to teenagers, because it is often during this time where they need to try out different ideas. During this development they are making decisions about sex, alcohol, drugs, friends and any beliefs on religion or politics. While defining themselves in these changes, they need to try them out and get that closure before they are able to move on. Unfortunately, unlike Angel, teenagers do not get the forgiveness of time travel and they have to face the consequences of their actions. But teenagers have to make a decision like Angel about whether they want to keep doing the new thing like drugs or alcohol. And if they changed and reasoned that they don’t want to do it anymore, then they have the closure. Finally, for the scene (not quite sure where I’m fitting it in) I’m going to use the one where Angel meets with the Oracles and asks to be turned back. This is the critical moment where Angel has changed and has had closure and is ready to move on. The oracles are tentative at first, thinking he should just enjoy what he wanted, but then they realize that he is a higher being for wanting to change. He is a higher being because he has developed his reasoning skills and therefore realized he can’t have both, and would rather be a vampire. So yeah,

Oops, forgot to blog yesterday, I’ll just make this a threefer. So I’m home, and I was just working on my ARP. I love being able to just turn around and look at how cute my cat is and pet her whenever I want! Anyway, so I’m doing a lot of work on my paper because I’ve changed my argument now, and I think it’s a good one. It about how people change. In Angel, he changed from wanting Buffy so then deciding that after he actually got Buffy, he actually wants to be a vampire instead. Ideally he would want both, but that won’t ever happen, so he changed from wanting her to wanting to be a vampire. I’m comparing him to people and why do they change, but change is too broad. So after doing some research I decided that Angel changed in his reasoning and his cognitive skills developed. For my real world connection then, I’m comparing Angel’s situation to teenagers. Teenagers are the ones that change the most over time during those years, especially their cognitive development. So I’m saying that Angel changed over time, but he can’t go back to the way before. He’s changed to think and reason differently and he’ll never go back to the other way. But in the episode, they change time! The Oracles allow Angel to go back before he became human and before he could be with Buffy. This time travel allows Angel to receive the closure he needed

So this being beat-michigan week, there are a lot of exciting things going on like the pep rally and block parties ect. Well there was a crafts night that we wanted to go to, we thought it was tonight, but it was actually last night. That was kind of upsetting when we found that out. So then we decided we’re going to make tie-dye shirts while we’re home for Thanksgiving. So there have been posters up for a north commons block party the whole past week advertising free food and corn hole. Unable to decide where to eat, we decided to check that out first. We headed over to Royer Activities Center and just went inside. We found the pizza and… a bunch of people with name tags…? We were confused. There was no tailgate party. It was a meeting about climate change. And we just took their food without going to the presentation. I decided that should be something everyone does during college. Just take food from something that you didn’t even go to. So then we were still hungry and wanted to go to the union to the pep rally to get that free food. We got there by 9:30, and apparently college pep rallies aren’t like the ones in high school that take 4 hours because by the time we got there, just 2 hours after it started, it was completely cleaned out. So then we got ice-cream at mirror lake. And I want to add that I LOVE all the signs that have the M’s crossed out. It makes me want to change my name to Aggie.

So I tried to use the CABS busses last night at 2:30 am because it was late and cold. So I texted osutrip and it said that no times were scheduled. I checked 3 other stops on the route and they all said that no times were scheduled. So I waited a little bit, but then I decided to walk it, thinking that there actually weren’t any busses coming. After walking like 3 minutes, I saw a bus approaching. I turned around and ran trying to catch it, but I couldn’t. I’m just so mad at the CABS busses. I like them because they’re easy to understand, and that you can text to see the next arrival, but I wish it didn’t lie like that. Yeah there weren’t any times scheduled, which I guess means that the computer data system isn’t working, which I don’t know why it doesn’t just stay on. But at least they could know if a bus line is actually running and then reply that the bus is running but it is unknown when it is coming. I would like that better. At 2:30 am I don’t care how long it will be until the next bus, I just don’t want to keep waiting thinking that it’s going to come when it isn’t. And it’s also annoying with CABS is a bus will come 10 minutes before it was scheduled to come. That was one specific time, but there have been many times where I leave my dorm knowing I have 4 minutes, and then the bus already comes and goes before I get there. That’s really frustrating. So the CABS busses are nice, I’m just realizing that they are not really reliable during the evening hours.

I watched Harry Potter! I didn’t go to Easton because I was up late and didn’t wake up until one. And then the game started and then I got really tired and took a nap. Then I ate dinner and saw Harry Potter. I didn’t really do much today, but I think we all need those kind of days to “catch up.” Saturday is like my catch up on sleep and relaxing, and Sunday is my catch up/get ahead on homework day. Sundays feel so weird though, no matter what, they always feel dreary and gloomy, like it’s a forced homework day.
So I saw Harry Potter! It actually was better than I thought. I think because it is in two parts, so it was actually thorough and correct. Also, I haven’t read the book in over 2 years, so I don’t even remember the specific details that the movie omits. I only remember vague parts of the big things, and then I’ll remember how the scene ends half way through it’s over. So the movie is fun in that way. And I think for a fantasy/science fiction movie, it is extremely funny. The creators are so cleaver in making such a dressing story comical. They really play on the sexual tension and ignorance of the teenage characters. It’s almost like watching a sit-com. I always laugh whenever someone tries to get something by saying, “accio ____” and then it doesn’t work, and then they’re always frustrated. It’s like, well duh it won’t work!

Finally the weekend! I don’t have any homework tonight, which is amazing. I kept trying to nap today to get myself caught up on sleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep. If I’m not REALLY tired, it’s hard to take naps because my mind keeps wandering and I keep thinking there’s something better I should be doing.
I’m excited because my friends from high school might be visiting this weekend, or next weekend. He goes to SCAD in Savannah, Georgia. He’s one of only friends from high school that didn’t go to Ohio State. It’s weird that even though he was apart from us for a couple of months, I feel like we all will be able to pick right up where we were before.
Tomorrow I’m going to go to Easton to do some holiday shopping before black Friday. I’m also going to see Harry Potter while I’m in Easton too. The past 2 movies I’ve seen the midnight showing, but I didn’t this year, mainly because I had a midterm this morning. But really it’s because I’m not as excited about the movies anymore. They are just so different from the books that the movie’s aren’t enjoyable. Like for the 6th movie, I was so excited. But after watching it, although enjoyable, I just am disappointed about how it lacked to meet my expectation. I guess that’s the thing with most books turned into movies, they just never meet your expectation. The best book turned into movie, by far was Holes.

sometimes driving all the way down there every year. I know it’s family so I should be willing to drive, but most of them haven’t ever seen my house, when I’ve stayed at there’s for weeks at a time. And my family isn’t wealthy enough to purchase plane tickets all the time (which would be nice) So I think for this year, I just want to stay in Mason. I don’t get to see my mom or my sister often. And my sister isn’t going down at all and my mom is only going down for a little bit. I feel like this is now the transition where I don’t get to see my extended family very much because whenever I have breaks I just want to stay home and be with my immediate family. It’s kind of weird to think about that transition though. So I’m excited for break. I had a 3 week break before school started but after work ended, and it felt like forever. So I hope this break will be the same, but I very much doubt it.
I watched glee tonight. I was pretty good. When I saw the preview for it last week, I though the substitute teacher was phoebe on “Friends” but it wasn’t… oh well, it was still good. Will’s wife freaks my out though, she’s like the person I hope I never become. Oh and mini glee cast was SO cute. I watched the little ‘behind the scenes’ of it on hulu. It was neat, I want a mini-me!

Here are my two blogs really fast! So I forgot to blog yesterday because, well I just forgot. So here’s my two. I realized last night in bed and I was debating getting up and doing it when I was nerdy enough to do the math in my head and realized that if I got up that moment, I would only get one eighth of a point back. That’s when I realized that it wasn’t worth it, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. So now I want to write fast because it’s 2:51 AM and I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow still so I won’t be able to take a nap. Actually I’m not very tired right now which is weird. I think I tapped into my 6th energy source already. So I was trying to finish everything, and I realized I needed to do two more blogs. So my friend offered to do one of mine. Before you go all “academic misconduct” he accidently deleted it so I couldn’t even use it. But he did read his to me. It was about college. How we all have to do so much and just jump through little hoops for the teachers and all our degree says is that we can work hard. There are some not so bad parts too though.
Anyway I don’t know what to do for Christmas. All of my extended family lives in Florida, and it gets really annoying

The weekend = fun. This week = not fun. That’s how I feel about it. Yeah, no week is ever really fun, but his one is particularly bad, mainly because I have everything due at the end of the week. In my survey class, I have the 6 quarter projection project and a “library leap” assignment, both are due Friday. In English we have the commonplace essay due Thursday. In engineering I have a lab report due Thursday, and I have a math midterm Friday morning. Last week was pretty easy, so I should’ve done more and less procrastinating, but really I don’t have that strong of a start on anything. I’ll be relaxed after Friday evening though. And I got a printer, but it’s from 2003 so I can’t install the driver for it, so I have this bulking machine taking up my top shelf and it can’t really do anything….
Despite all the stress of this week, I’ve remained pretty calm. I have no idea why. I’m usually freaking out about everything, but I guess after being in college, where there’s actually constant stuff to freak out about, I’ve realized that freaking out doesn’t help anything. But it is only Monday. I’ll see how the rest of the week goes. I’m sure by Wednesday evening when I go to bed I’ll destroy anyone that crosses my path….
So I’m going to go to bed soon (hopefully). I only got 5 hours of sleep last night so if I want to make it through tomorrow I should try to get some sleep. It was particularly frustrating when my roommate went to bed before me and got up after me. I hate when that happens…

So today I want to rant about adults. My weekend at grand nationals was fun. It was at the Lucas Oil Stadium (where the Colts and Bengals played today). So at the end of semi-finals, one of our friends left to go sit with his girlfriend that is still in high school and had to sit in a certain spot. He also didn’t have his phone (it was dead because he left his charger at home). So after awards were over, we decided to stay where we were thinking that it would be easier for him to find us than the other way around. He knew where we were and we didn’t know where he was. So we just stayed in our seats, at the very top. The seats were pretty much empty. And then this guy that worked at Lucas Oil, at the bottom of our section, yelled up at us, “HEY, GET OUT OF HERE!” Like we knew we were doing something wrong and he needed us out that second. They needed to make sure everyone left for finals, but that wasn’t for another 2 hours, and we were only sitting there less than 10 minutes after awards concluded. So we left without any problems, but I just couldn’t believe how rude he was to us. I think it was because we were teenagers. If we were adults, maybe old people, he would’ve come up to us and asked us nicely to leave. You don’t yell at adults. But because we’re teenagers he thinks we’re up to no good and needs to yell at us. Believe it or not, there are actually teenagers that try to do the right thing, but sometimes they don’t know they’re doing something wrong.

I can’t download the thing that installs the printer, and the printer in my dorm is very unreliable. So I want a printer, and I also want one that can scan/copy and one that can print nice photos on glossy paper. I’m a big photo fan, and I think it’d be cheaper to print from home than snapfish and definitely Walgreens. But I haven’t done any research yet, not like I have with computers. But right now I’m thinking Cannon. I still have to look at ink prices between brands, but any suggestions let me know.
So when I was home I met my sister’s boyfriend. His name is Matthew which is confusing because my boyfriend’s name is Matt. Oh well though, we don’t see each other that much. My sisters is 23 and she works for P&G but despite working for a big cooperation, is very indie. And she met someone that is just as indie as her! She’s in to Infomania on Current TV and The Books and old time movies. I’m just happy she met someone like her because I was convinced there was no one out there for her. :P So I’m excited to see where they go.
So now we’re driving to Indy to watch the marching band competition on Saturday. That’s why I wanted to do my blog now, because I knew that I would be too busy watching bands to have to worry about this! And I kind of like writing a freakishly long blog once and not have to worry about it for a while.

So I think I want to get a Sony Viao. What bothers me is that salesmen will only say good things about their products. I went to Wired Out, and they only have Dell’s and HP and when I asked about Sony’s, he’s like “they’re horrible” So yeah…. But the Micro Center guy said they were good, so I’m going to go with that. But now I have to actually decide what kind I want. I might go to Micro Center again to make sure what I’m going to order is exactly what I want. I probably going to spend around $1,500 on it, so I want it go count.
So I was talking to my mom about computers, and she saw one online, an HP that was a pretty good deal, she kept talking about it. I kept saying that I didn’t think I wanted it and I was still looking. Well when I went home, my mom showed me that she just bought the laptop, and had it there! She said either I could use it or she would or she would return it. I ultimately decided that I wanted to keep looking and get my own computer.
So now I’m also looking for a printer too. I want one for Christmas, because I don’t have one and need one for college. I’ve had many annoying memories trying to print things using Uniprint, but Uniprint kind of stinks.

So forgot to blog last night. You’d think that with the day off I’d have plenty of time to write 250 words, apparently it’s harder though. So right now I’m going to right all 3 of my blogs continuously, one for yesterday, one for today, and one for tomorrow. Hope that’s alright.
Yesterday I woke up in my own bed. It was really nice. I have a queen bed at home, so I appreciated it compared to my twin bed at college. Before college I would sleep just on one side of my queen bed, but that night I took up the whole bed, I’ve never done that before. My mom said I looked funny.
Yesterday I had lunch at Skyline, because I never get to eat there at C-bus. Skyline is a Cincinnati thing, so it’s not really around. It you’re not familiar with Skyline, it’s a chili place. The most common thing is a “3-way” with noodles, chili and cheese. My favorite is a cheese coney which is a hotdog and bun topped with chili and cheese.
After lunch I went to Micro Center (a needier Best Buy) and looked at their lap tops. I don’t know if anyone else is like me, but I hate dealing with sales men. I always get so intimidated, I’ve gotten better though, because they actually are there to help, and they actually know what they’re talking about, and they’re not overly pushy. So the guy recommended Mac’s and Sony’s. I definitely don’t want a Mac, I don’t like the operating system.

Home! If you’re trying to get extra credit for comments, then you probably know that I went home today. My first thought when I went home was, my house has a weird smell… It’s strange how something we’re use to and so familiar can seem so strange after a couple of weeks. I don’t think I could commute from home (not that I’m close enough) but my cats are too distracting. One of my cats rubbed her hear against my computer screen for 5 minutes, and then she laid down on my butt, and now she thinks my laptop case is a wonderful place to lay…
One of the things I like about going home is going shopping with your parents. I just got back from Kohl’s (We saved more than we spent, yippee!) it wasn’t a big event; it was more of something to do. I got a shirt, hat, and some socks.
Shortly after submitting this blog, I’m going to go to Sonic! I don’t know where it’s from, but there isn’t one on campus (that I know of). If you haven’t been to Sonic, you need to. The best thing about it is that it’s open until midnight- which is a big deal. The only places that are open past midnight where I’m from is Walmart and UDF. So it’s nice to get a cream slush without getting out of the car every once and a while. Plus, the Sonic I go to is right by Walmart. This makes an easy answer for “what do we do next?” When hanging out with friends. One time, we saw these people park at Sonic in a Walmart shopping cart!

My current frustration is Excel. It stopped responding 5 times, so I’m going to go with that’s a sign that I should stop doing homework. And I have no problem with that.
So this has been a really easy week for me. Thursday are my really tough day, I have math due and lab reports. But conveniently, we have Thursday off, so I can relax. And our paper isn’t due until next week too. But I know I should be trying to do some homework now, but it’s really hard. I’m going to try to do some homework when I’m home though (YAY!). When I’m home though, I already have a list of things to do. I need to get my hair cut. I haven’t done that since last April… So it’s kind of gross now. And I’m going to do laundry. I need to wash my sheets so I might as well do all my laundry for the week to save me $5. And then I’m going to go to Micro Center (a needier Best Buy) to look at computers. I’m only going to be home one night, but I’m so excited. My mom is taking the day off tomorrow to get her car maintenanced and then coming up here when she’s done and we’re going to hang out (weird?) until my boyfriend is done with his last class. I have an easy day tomorrow because I have no survey recitation, also thanks to the holiday.
And today in English was boring but interesting. I enjoyed reading about people’s papers and critiquing them, but by the 7th one, I was beat.

So I need to get a new computer soon. The once I have is refurbished and under $300 and a Toshiba, and 17” so it’s not very nice and extremely annoying to carry around. I didn’t get this laptop for college though. I got it at the beginning of my senior year. The desktop I was using I had for a while and my mom was tired of fixing it. Oh and my mom is very good with computers, which is nice. When I was 12 I got my first computer, but I wasn’t just a spoiled brat, she built it herself and I helped so it was cheaper. No, she didn’t build each individual piece of the hard drive and such, but she ordered all the parts and put them in and then put all of the software on it. At the time I didn’t know how smart my mom was with computers compared to everyone else’s parents. I’m probably one of the only kids of our generation that doesn’t have to explain how to use a computer to their mother- but don’t worry, I still have to teach her how to use her iPhone. So anyway, she was getting tired of fixing my desktop so she just went out and got me a laptop. But now, after having it one year, I’m ready for a new one. Note: I’m not getting a Mac so don’t waste your time trying to sell me one. (A couple of my friends have them and I don’t hear the end of it- there are actually good PC’s out there believe it or not)

Right now I’m watching The Office on Netflix- season 6. For some reason I only like watching The Office on Netflix, or when I can watch them back-to-back. I never really got into watching it each week on NBC. I’m going to go home this Wednesday for the first time this quarter. I’m super excited! This sounds lame, but I really miss my cats. I know I should miss my family more, but really, you can’t talk to your cats on the phone. It would be horrible if I couldn’t talk to my parents on the phone, or if they couldn’t visit me, but I can’t do that with my cats. So judge me if you want, but I really miss my cats. I’m going home because we have Thursday off, YAY, and this weekend is bands of America grand nationals in Indianapolis. So a couple of us from marching band at Ohio State are going, as well as a friend that goes to Bowling Green is meeting us Friday here, and we’re going over to Indy together. So we have to go back to Mason to get a car so we can go leave Saturday morning. So we’re going back to Mason Wednesday night, and I’m really excited to have some home-town classics like Skyline and SoHo hibachi grill.
So tonight we ate at our first ‘official High Street’ restaurant, Panda Express. It was pretty good. I liked the fried rice and orange chicken. American-Chinese food isn’t too bad.

So my boyfriend and I have this plan, to eat at every restaurant on High Street between Lane Avenue and 11th Street. It all started when I realized that swipes really suck. We’re spending (or I am at least) $9.60 on each meal, but each meal costs less than $8, besides traditions. So next quarter, to save some money, I want to pay most of my meals with buckID cash. And then I realized that all the restaurants on High take buckID, so why stick to campus food when I can eat anywhere I want? I know campus food isn’t that bad. I personally love the PAD and Mirror Lake. (I’m not a big fan of Market Place because it’s pretty busy most of the time.) But I know there are good choices. It’s just High street is a lot closer to me (in Taylor Tower) than any of those good places. And when people come to visit me, I can actually suggest a good place to go to that they haven’t been to. Also, High street has a lot of foreign food that I’m especially excited to try. We haven’t been to many places yet, just Donato’s, Noodles and Company, and Canes. I tried Cane’s for the first time tonight. I know it’s an OSU tradition, but I wasn’t that big a fan. The sauce was okay, just really peppery. I wouldn’t be totally against going there, but I wouldn’t suggest it. So our plan is to eat at all the restaurants besides the ones on wheels because that’s just crossing a line.

My title is: Marriage is the New Young
Remember back in high school, that first day? You hesitantly step off the bus and look around, the building towers over you. Squeezing through the front door, you hope to find your locker with ease. Upperclassmen wiz by you with years of experience, and eventually you make it. Books in hand and bag in locker, you set out on a quest to find your first class. Walking nearly a mile, you see those golden numbers by the door that signifies that you’ve made it. You stumble inside and the cacophony from the hall way leaves you. You look around at the young faces like you, just as frightened. Half the seats already taken, you pick one at random. You look over at the person you’re going to be sharing a desk with for the next 3 months. “Hey, they’re kind of cute,” you think.
The rest of the semester becomes a blur. All you think is, “this person is great; they’re perfect for me.” You go on your first date, and quickly it becomes ‘Facebook’ official. After two months, you’re convinced. You plan to marry.
Teenagers are constantly getting married, and for good reason. You’re head-over-heels for them, right? Why wouldn’t you want to spend the rest of your life with them? And this way, you know you always have someone with you in case that pimple gets abnormally large.
My title is: Marriage is the New Young
Remember back in high school, that first day? You hesitantly step off the bus and look around, the building towers over you. Squeezing through the front door, you hope to find your locker with ease. Upperclassmen wiz by you with years of experience, and eventually you make it. Books in hand and bag in locker, you set out on a quest to find your first class. Walking nearly a mile, you see those golden numbers by the door that signifies that you’ve made it. You stumble inside and the cacophony from the hall way leaves you.

I’m really glad this is a ‘blog about anything’ they’re my favorite, although it’s hard to think of a topic sometimes.
So I’ve been thinking about long distance relationships lately. I’m not in one or anything, but two of my friends were dating for 2.5 years, and just broke up. And for a relationship that started in high school, that’s pretty long. The girl was a freshman and the boy was a junior. When he graduated he went to Notre Dame, and she stayed in Mason (near Cincinnati). It was pretty clear they were going to break up, just a matter of time. I realize this is pretty pessimistic though. Anyway, what I can never understand about long distance relationships is why some people stay in them. I think there are two different types. The ones where it’s clear that the couple will be back in the same location. An example would be like a summer away at camp, or a semester abroad. These would still be difficult, but it’s doable and definitely worth a shot. The other scenario is when there seems to be no shot of a future where they will be together again. An example is my friends where they’re going to go to different colleges and it becomes the question of how long will they put up with this? At some point, someone is going to need to make a sacrifice for the other one, and locate near them, but that’s a pretty big leap for a high school relationship in my opinion.

So as my schedule has picked up (this is my second night past 2am, and now I’m nearly reaching 3am and I have an 8:30 class tomorrow and I won’t be able to nap until after English- so I may seem a little dead…) I’ve been doing some pondering about the hours in a day, because most people are complaining that there’s just not enough time.
So imagine that the sun got hotter, the earth moved rotated slower and moved farther away from the sun. This crazy scenario is supposed to represent a world where the days are actually longer, let’s say by 4 hours. But there are still 365 ‘new’ days in a year and it’s the same temperature we used to, because I hate the cold. So there are 4 extra hours in every day. BAM! What do you do with them? Or what will the world do with them?
So everyone complains, “if only I had more time” but is that the real solution? I think, with extra time in a day, we’ll enjoy it for a while, able to sleep a little more, spend more time with the family, ect. But I think eventually we’ll all just cram a bunch of stuff into our day anyway. It’s like the world can’t be ‘easy’ or ‘relaxing’ because then how do we know who’s best? That’s what college has been teaching me. Let’s make this really difficult, so we can really see who will shine.
So this went from a kind of cool creative topic to me complaining about college. Great.

Today was quite stressful with computers. It started when I tried to do part of my lab on inventor to test model stress on an object, but the stress analysis tab wasn’t there! It took me like an hour and a half to figure it out. And I emailed my GTA, and all she said was, “Well the directions say go the experiment then click stress analysis” yeah, I read that. I could’ve figured that out if I HAD the tab. Luckily I finally figured it out, and it took me 10 minutes to collect data. Then my computer. It decided a couple of days ago it didn’t want to connect to osuwireless. I thought it would pass, but it didn’t. So I call the help desk, they get me a new password, and then I had to wipe away my old pre-existing account. But when I tried typing in my password, it wouldn’t work. So now I have to take it into buckeyebar tomorrow. Fun.
Tonight we ate at Noodles and Company. And it was VERY nice for many reasons.
1) It was close. Closer than ANY campus location. I live in Taylor Tower.
2) There was no line
3) Someone brought us our food and we didn’t have to wait around for it
4) When we were done eating, we didn’t have to clean up.
5) The food tasted good.
So now I’m going to take a shower. It’s after 2am and I’m taking a shower. I feel like a college kid.

So today was kind of strange. It started when my alarm was set for 8:15 on my phone ( Iphone 3G) and it went off at 7:15, one hour early. This continued for all my other alarms, and I was so confused why my alarm read 8:15, and my phone clock said 7:15 and why the alarm was going off. I kept thinking about daylight savings time and what if I actually was going to miss my class. After my third alarm went off at 7:50 when I didn’t need to be up for another hour, I was quite frustrated, I struggled falling back asleep. I told my friends this, they didn’t believe me. So we, “performed” an experiment. Set one 2 minutes ahead, it didn’t go off. Set one for an hour and two minutes ahead, it DID go off. They were convinced my phone was mess-up. So then I got home and did some research. It seemed like a popular thing that’s been happening to people. They say it’s a little ‘bug’ and some people have been going off an hour late even. So I guess I’m thankful that didn’t happen to me because I had a quiz this morning that was pretty easy so I didn’t want to miss easy points. So I kept reading, and someone said it happened because the alarm setting was set to happen every day verses a one day or ever four or five day occurrence. Like what anyone else would do, immediately I tried it. AND IT WORKED! For some reason, having it set to not every day, works. But still, I’m a little afraid about tomorrow morning waking up in time.
