Hello!
This week is my Spring Break and I’m back home. I’m over my sick and I feel a lot better. 
It’s so refreshing to be back home, it’s been over a month since I’ve been here because of work and the like. I’ve just been so busy lately, it’s crazy.
Anyway, so today I saw Alice in Wonderland. I thought that it was interesting.
Oh yes! I finally realized that one of my favorite things to do is to support local artists whenever I find one that I really like and today I have found a woman by the name of Jamie Liana. She is an amazing New Aged artist centered in Nashville, TN. Clicking her names leads you to her Myspace page where you can listen to her music. She is also available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
I had another local artist that I had learned about in Knoxville, but I’m not sure how to link to them. 
It appears that they’ve either disbanded or who knows what. This is is the only let down about local artists is when they fade into oblivion and you can’t find them anymore.
Anyway, that’s all for now.
….is what I have to learn to be better about.
I think I’m pretty good with managing my time. I feel really bad because I haven’t had time to do my blogroll lately. I need to hop to it and get everything going a little better.
Work isn’t so bad. After the first two days, I think I’m getting into the groove of making Smoothies for hours. It’s actually pretty fun. The worst thing about it? It gets really slow at certain points… and by really slow, I mean dead. I mean, standing around for an hour doing my closing work three hours before we close.
Anyway! Away from work, I’ve also been reading the book When Jeff Comes Home. It’s actually a really sad novel targeted to YA-readers about how a teenaged boy deals with being being back home and reentering society after being kidnapped and held for two-and-a-half years by a man who abuses him physically and sexually only to take him back home when he loses interest in him sexually. I dunno why I’m reading it. It struck me as something I wanted to and I went out of my way and ordered it when my Financial Aid excess check came in.
Oh yeah! I also saw the movie Wolfman on Saturday. It wasn’t bad. There were several “BOO! Got’cha bitch!” parts throughout the movie that made me jump, but other than that, it was awesome.
I need to start reading Guilty Pleasures for my English class. Not too bad, just need to force myself to settle down and actually read it. =)
Well, that’s all for now!
What’re you currently reading?
For the first time in my life, I ‘ve SUPER busy. I haven’t been this busy since last year when I was running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to get my three papers done nad studying for a Japanese test at the time. Oh and if you look at the paragraph, you can see how country I actually am.
Why am I so busy, you ask? Well, first off, I got a job. The problem with this? I said I was a little too available to work. I didn’t take into account that I’m taking a reading intensive class, a writing intensive class, and a Math class when I was filling out my application and didn’t think about my time managment and now I’m having to work Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m going to HAVE to cut back to weekends only. Of maybe cut down my hours requested from 20 to 12.
I feel super stressed because I started work the same weeks I have a lot of exams. In the next week, I have a Math exam, an Anthropology Exam, an English Exam, and I have another Educational Psychology exam coming up. Ugh!
Anyway, that’s all for no. My story’s critique didn’t go too badly. There were a few people that were kind of jerks, but nothung huge. My first day of work wasn’t bad. I made smoothies. I only really messed up once, so it w as cool.
Oh yes! Next Wednesday I get to go to a free showing of Shutter Island! I’m so excited! It’s two days before the movie hits theatres! Awesome!
Until next time!
Ugh, classes start again for me on Wednesday. I’m already back to Campus and attempting to settle back in. The attempt is pretty much successful, especially since it’s my third year here and I’m used to how the flow goes by now.
I’ve had a lot of fun the last few days. I hung out with my family and the like. I finished reading Narcissus in Chains and I’ve moved on to the first Merry Gentry novel, A Kiss of Shadows, at the request of a friend of mine. Same author, different series. I’m hoping to see a big difference between the two.
I also saw Daybreakers today. It wasn’t bad. There was much not really left explained and several plot holes. I think if the movie were to be novelized, I think I might like it better. But, I do think it was really good. I’m probably going to buy the DVD when it comes out.
Yesterday I watched over half of the anime Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok. I think it was really sure and I can’t wait to finish it. My friends like to tell me that the character Mayura Daidouji is my anime counterpart due to the fact that I like paranormal things. Lol, I’m not where as bad as she is with it.
Anyway! I think that’s all I’m going to comment on at the moment. I’ll post again once I’ve actually gone to class.
Hello!
So, this morning, I awoke to the announcement that they were going to be working on the fire alarm system in my dormitory. That doesn’t sound too bad, right?
Well, I got up, took a shower, and came back to my laptop to check e-mail when suddenly the fire alarm went off. The horrific part? I was still in my robe and wet and it was thirty-four degrees outside.
So, during the ensuing chaos, I hurry to get dressed and my roommate, Lindsey, isn’t really sure what to do. I’m trying to explain that she should get to the fire escape, but I also have a shirt half on and digging for socks.
I was quickly put to ease when a friend from down the hall walked down and told me that I didn’t have to vacate the building. I was pretty relieved… and had a record time for getting dressed.
So, now that that adventure is over with, I’ll update you on what’s going on in life.
Last night, Hannah and I decided to watch a few movies. I showed her The Tingler (A favorite with my Dad), Stir of Echoes, and Final Destination. They were all awesome!
Tonight is going to be The Road to El Dorado and Matilda. I’m so excited!
I’m also going to work more on my short story. It’s at five pages right now and the ending does feel like it’s going to happen too soon. I’ll put a section below the cut for those interested.
