New Directions
yeah, my last post got me to thinking.
and i started a new blog.
you're gonna laugh out loud when you read this.
i'm gonna start a television blog.
yes, yes it's true.
this one will still get updated periodically. it's just that i can only right about class so much. i want a daily blog. one i can be totally faithful to and not run out of things to say. and i have a lot of television shows. so, if you are interested in this blog, you'll definitely be much more interested in my newest blog. it's not that i don't have commitment to this blog or that i can't keep a blog going for long. i just have a very strong passion for blogging. it's a generation Y thing. we're not all like this, but since i love to write, this is the best way to be heard. hear me out, this will be a good one.

full brain.
today was less than interesting, but due to my recent promise, i must blog about it regardless. so here goes, excuse my mundane life.
human development: my first class, my first test. no, these aren't normal tests. everything aside from lectures are done in our semester-long groups. i'm really sensing a new trend in education. it goes something like this: let's force as many people into a group as possible and make them work together all semester. on everything. anyways, we took a test. i was pretty prepared for it. i did the online flashcards and other 'educational' activities created to help me learn the material. i had to be prepared, right? well i took the test and did pretty well on it. then we're supposed to take the same test again as a group. then the grades are averaged. it all seems a bit redundant. we did alright on the group test. it's just a long version of a regular test. frustrating at best.
math: my second class was the same it always is. i just feel like it's not a prepared course. everything is sparatic and unprepared. i just don't feel like i'm learning a whole lot here. that's all the detail i can go into for this class today without ranting. that's just not what this blog is....sometimes.
sorry for my short, unfunny, uninteresting blog today. my brain is full.

M.I.A. no more!
wow, be gone for 2 weeks and you gain 5 followers. i am now up to 7. keep them coming!
anyways, i apologize tremendously for taking an unannounced 2 week vacation from my blog. not very faithful, i know. blame school. for real, blame it. if i want to be a professional blogger (which i would LOVE), i need to quit school, so i'd have time. of course, then this blog would fail. catch-22 there. i could start a fashion blog; i am always checking out people's attire, but we all know how many times that has been done. i'm not good enough to break into that scene. i could attempt a television focused blog. i would do wonders with that. i love a lot of tv shows. and i know a lot about a lot of tv shows. me and hulu are like this *simulate finger crossing now* -------------------^
but that would be a very biased blog. you see, the shows i love, i won't miss an episode, but the shows i hate, i will not even consider watching one epsiode. so if you like drama filled primetime soap operas, drama filled reality trainwrecks, or the occasional half-hour comedic sitcom, than i'm your blogger. for some reason, i feel like the audience out there looking for this kind of blog is quite limited. of course what do i know, how many people besides my own parents actually care about this? so for now, i will continue school and continue this blog. never again will i miss 2 weeks of updating you about my somewhat mundane life as a college student. you really wanna know what's gone on for the past 2 weeks?

as you can see, the homework aspect of college this semester greatly outweighs even the class aspect. what was i thinking becoming a teacher? being in fashion, i just got to look at pretty clothes all day.
(that's a joke, i wouldn't take back my decision)
i know this post didn't contain much about what is the whole point of my blog, but i don't have the time or the desire to spend all of my saturday catching you up. just know, it would take a lot of writing, but nothing too huge happened. i think the world (7 readers) can do without my updates this one time. beginning monday, i will be back full force and we'll go from there. sorry to disappoint.

whatta drag
day # 4 of school was pretty much the same as the last 3.
i did have one more new class...or lab actually.
at about 5pm it started dangerously storming and pouring rain.
here's an injector about my personal life: i just received a pretty brand new car, which i also just purchased a covered parking spot at my apartment complex. that will set you up for what i'm about to say. don't judge me.
well the storm was pretty bad. like hail and everything. i did not want to take my new car out in that just to go to a lab. anyone who has been in a elem. ed geography class with lab would understand this. well my lab was due to start at 7pm. the storm had 2 hours to stop, but wasn't supposed to until 9pm. of course, 6:15 rolls around and the sun comes out. so i have no justification for missing my first geography lab. :(
i arrive at 6:45 and i am the first and only one there. awkward? why, yes it was. come to find out, there are only 10 people enrolled. eventually all but two show up. so, no the lab wasn't canceled. there is good news that comes out of this tho. the lab only lasts 30 minutes (tonight) as opposed to two hours. the bad news is that we completed a lab over the scientific method. if you went to any kind of school prior to college, you know how many times the scientific method has been discussed and tested over. we spent about 10 minutes on the actual lab. 10 minutes i didn't need to be there because i had already completed it while she went over the syllabus. give me a break, it was 7th grade easy. this is why i am hating this lab:
homework update:
i promise, sometime i will begin to post intelligently, maybe even sharing some stuff i've learned. i need to make it through the first week though and actually learn something.
to my three readers: i will return tuesday. after next week, i will resume my usual schedule of monday-wednesday with some random off day treats. don't forget about me!

- i have homework.

- no homework to do this weekend
