Yin-Yang

Oi!

Hello All!

I've come to tell you about both sides of my awesome life right now. Last weekend was AMAZING! I went home and showed two of my roomies the finer points of my home town. We went to the Twins games where we watched them decimate the tigers. Then we went to an awesome grocery store called CurryUp where we found awesome Indian treats and cheap Bollywood movies. ^_^ It was amazingful. After that we went to an "authentic" Mexican restaurant. It was super good, but not spicy enough to be actual Mexican food. Afterwards I experienced the awesomeness of Bollywood in theatres. Dil Bole Hadippa was an amazing movie and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The other side of me is super stressed out by my collegiate plans in the next few days. I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but I am president of my campus' environmental organization and tomorrow the Vice-President and I have a meeting with the President of our college, the Dean of Students, and a representative of the Student Media Center. So I've been spending a lot of time planning for that. I've also been working on a huge presentation for my Understanding Media class, which I'll luckily get out of the way on Friday. So after those two big things my schedule will hopefully simmer down and return to its slightly more regular level of stress.

Okay that's all I have for now. I'll tell you about what happens in my meeting and presentation.

Week Three!!

Another week has passed for this busy college student. And like the work week, I will be super busy again this weekend. I have an ISO party this evening (International Student Organization) and Pep Band tomorrow (YAY! First of the year!!), and Sunday marks the science club picnic. It should all be good fun. As for the weekly excitement, I think it was fairly minimal.

My friends and I have decided to watch this cheesily amazing show called Glee. I enjoy it immensely, probably because of it's amazing nerdiness. ^_^

ECOS ( Environmentally Concerned Organization of Students-- The organization I'm president of) did their first recycling of the year, which was disgusting yet fun as usual :P

The box office has reopened so i've started working there as well. So I get to practice my awesome phone voice some more. I also have a fool proof hour chunk with which I can accomplish homework... most of the time. Occasionally I may have to do work as well.

I got a thousand packages!!! Okay so maybe only four, but I still think that that's amazing. I got my computer, the free ipod it came with, the adobe creative suite, and my totally nerdy John Green Bobble Head. YAY!! So now I have lots of new and fun toys to play with. I'm hoping to get a good grasp of all of my computer junk this weekend. So I'll be installing my adobe suite tonight, before I download heaps of crazy things to my computer.

I think that's all I have for now.

I'll write again soon!

College Life Cola Style 101

Welcome Back!!

I'm glad to see that you have once again taken time out of your busy schedule to see what craziness is happening in Cola-land. Today I'm going to teach you how to live a day in the life of me.

Step One: Get up early. Not too early, but early enough to go to breakfast at 7:30... every day, except for weekends, when there is no breakfast.

Step Two: Go to work. The Post office is fun, might as well show up... or something. ^_^

Step Three: Go to Classes. Spend the vast majority/ all of your day in the classroom. Break only to eat and/or nap.

Step Four: Go to work again. This time play on the computer/phone at the box office. Never call your friends **Wink Wink** that wouldn't be appropriate, even if you were trying to convince them to buy some tickets.

Step Five: Go to band and make some semi-harmonious noises on the trumpet, while others attempt to do the same. This will be the highlight (cough cough) of your day. ^_^

Step Six: EAT MORE FOOD, this time call it dinner. Spend as much time as humanly possible in the dining hall. Be loud and slightly rowdy... or try not to fall asleep. Depends on the day really.

Step Seven: Try not to procrastinate... and start your homework. Pretend your common sense textbooks are thrilling, Read them.

Step Eight: Whine

Step Nine: Listen to other people whine and complain.

Step Ten: Attempt to socialize with my roomies, because no one else seems to exist at the present time.

Step Eleven: Sleep. This is the REAL highlight of my day... maybe even lifetime. It is a joyous experience that only ends with the repetition of step one. Grumble. Coincidentally step one is my least favorite... hmmm... funny how that works.

I hope that you all have learned a lot! And that next weeks exam over how to live Cola-Style will become much easier for you. ^_^

So anywhoooooooooo... Life here is going well.

What I've been up to:

1) Anything listed above... in mass quantities

2) I bought a new computer!!!! I'm now poor, BUT it will be worth it when I have my shiny new computer to use/ play with.

3) Watching amazing people perform awesome music at Jamestown Idol. It was fun.

4) We went to see an old west shoot-out! It was cheesily amazing, and I wish they happened every weekend. At some point I may attach a photograph of us with the awesome cowboy who attempted to interact with us. ^_^

5) I'm still in the process of finding a job. Wish me luck!

6) Bollywood is amazing. End story.

I'll let you know if anything new happens. Until then. Ta ta!
