Hmmmm.

So lately I have been thinking that I need to do something daring. I have been a very safe person in my life. I haven't done many scary things (good scary not scary scary). So I think I may be going to study abroad next year. I'm not sure yet. I have to see how it's going to impact my classes but I think I can do it. As many of you might have noticed I haven't gone very far away from home. I think that at some point in time I'm going to have to become an adult (ick). I don't know when but it has to happen and this may be helpful.
I'm thinking of possibly going to Norway. I know, random right? But the other choices were India (no please) and Ireland (but that's all by myself) with Norway there is a group from Concordia and Luther which is helpful. And one of my friends is going too so I won't be completely alone (I would die).
This is of course super scary and also exciting but I have other things to work out too. Like what am I going to eat in Norway? Seafood? Please don't make me gag.

Well, that's the most recent development in my life. My two good friends Karinda and Tony are now back together which is good and also bad. Good because now they won't come complaining to me when they get mad at each other. Bad because I don't want to have to deal with another break up. Oofta, it's draining. That's been pretty much the only drama. I hope that ties some of you over until next time.

Ah, homework, how I've missed thee

It's been awhile since last I've blogged and much has happened....Nope, that was a lie. Nothing has really happened inmy lif. Christmas and New year's has come and gone and I am back at good ol' Cobberland with homework galore.
I am taking a lot of required classes. I'm taking a poli sci class just to see if I'm interested in it. I'm taking a women's history class and a women's writing class which should be fun and French. I also may be joining a feminist club on campus!
I know how it sounds but don't worry. I think it's more like a book club with a feminist twist so I won't become too hardcore about it.
That's about all that's happened in my life.
Oh and go see Juno. It's amazing and hilarious.

Snow Snow Snow

It snowed yesterday as some of you may have noticed. Yes, it snowed and what did I do? I stayed in bed til 3-I WAS READIN!!-then I watched the Bourne Supremacy in Karinda's room then I went out to Perkins.
Exciting?
No.
Fun?
Yes.

Let's see if you remember your list of characters from last post!!

I have figured out who I'm living with next year! I'm so excited!! Andrea, Karinda, Mack, and I are going to be living together. We will be trying to get into the apartments on campus so I can actually make food that I will eat. I'm excited to have my own bathroom (well, I share it with one person but still it's in my room!) It's sad because I won't see Holly as much and she was a good roommate and I worry about her and her boyfriend(ew). But I think I'll have fun living with these three crazy girls next year!

well, I'm at work and I have to go serve some coffee so this post will be short....maybe I'll post some of the short story I'm working on soon...not tomorrow tho. I have to write a paper.
oh and PS if you don't leave comments I don't know if you read my blog and then I feel like there's no point in writing it. ask me questions or some such things and I will answer. I really don't ever know what to write about and thus end up writing about boring things.
Love.

I'm Free Y'all!

Hi Everyone!
Long time no post huh? Well good news! Two Gents is finally over and I now am only consumed with school and work instead of a crazy musical that no one's ever heard of.
I am excited that I only have two more classes until Thanksgiving break! Turkey and Hockey and Broadway shows on parade Here I come!! Not only that but I get to see Shannon too! And she won't be busy worrying about a test this time!! Hooray. So nothing has really happened in my life because of Two Gents. I mean, things have happened but there's such a wide cast of friends that I figured i should introduce you to some of them and then tell a story.
Friends!
Karinda- Bestie, born 7 minutes before me and holds it over me non-stop. Music Ed. Major, plays clairinet in band, knits, makes me laugh

Mackenzie- Fellow English major, met in Trollwood summer before college and bonded over books, musicals, and being old around such young kids in the play

Holly- Roommate, blonde, smart but a little dizty, has a good heart

Tony B.- Music Ed major, knew from Trollwood

Theater Friends!
Monica- Ex-Mormon who now works at Starbucks, Mon is my sarcasm twin, reads the same books as me, loves same musicals as me, mother hen of the group

Tony M (take note I know a lot of Tony's and must call them all by their last names when more than one is present)- Mon's best friend, amazing actor, super funny, I love him!

Katie Wolf- Monica's roommate, drama queen, funny, is always in fights with her long term boyfriend from home, choir person

Will- Katie's bestie, Theater major, high maintenance but I love him too

Jake- kindred spirit for the most part

Andrea- Newbie of the group! Sassy as can be, transferred this year, may be living with her next year.

The current drama right now is Karinda and Tony B. just broke up last week. First Tony didn't talk to her for a few days and now he's still acting like her boyfriend but Karinda likes someone else. The problem is Tony is very persistent and needs to be dealt with firmly. Unfortunately, Tony's been having a bad month and could also possibly have mono so Karinda does not want to be mean.

And this is my life.

Med school here I come...?

Hello, everyone...
Guess who's a genius at biology??? That's right! That'd be me!! I kicked Cellular Respiration and Photosyntesis's Asses and got a 90% on my test!! Who knows where I'll go next with my new knowledge! Med school perhaps??

Hahahaha! No. No medschool for me. I'll leave the gross boring stuff for Shannon. But I just figured out that Hamline has a children and young adult writing graduate program!!! IT'S HEAVEn!!! and when I say I figured it out, I mean Shannon did! Well, I'm also taking a poli sci class next semester so maybe I'll like that and become a lawyer....or maybe not!

sorry this one's short but I have to go to class!!

Two A-holes of Verona

So, on the advice of some people who gave birth to me, I'm going to tell you about the musical we are doing this year (which I'm not in but still manage to have tons of practice). Concordia is doing Two Gents a musical version of Shakespeare's Two Gentleman of Verona (my friends call it, Two Assholes of Verona, teehee). This play is very very confusing and stupid. I'll be the first one to say it.

Proteus loves Julia and gets her preggers. He's besties with Valentine who goes to Milan and falls in love with Sylvia. Sylvia is supposed to marry Thurio but she loves Eglamour. Proteus goes off to Milan to visit Valentine and falls in love with Sylvia too and becomes a really big d-bag. Julia and her friend Lucetta go to Milan dressed as men (Two gentleman of verona eh eh!) to find Proteus and tell him he's going to be a daddy. Eglamour saves Sylvia from marrying Thurio but then dies or goes somewhere I don't really even know and then there's a dragon fight. Yes, you read right. A Chinese dragon fight!! Then Proteus tries to kidnap Sylvia and Valentine saves her and then Julia and Lucetta reveal themselves and Proteus falls back in love with Julia.
The final couples are: Julia and Proteus, Valentine and Sylvia, Lucetta and Thurio, and Speed and a random Milkmaid (Speed is Valentine's servant).

If you didn't follow that, join the club. I rarely remember what happens and I'm at rehearsal. Not to mention this crazy play is to music written by the people who wrote Hair. Yep, Two Gents is a hippy show, with sexual innuendos and drug references that will be fit for that generation (cough, Mom, Dad, Becky, Greg, Shorty, Dave even Cough!!) The only people who can really enjoy this play will either be drunk or on acid (or smoking marijuana cigarettes!!), it is that crazy.

This is what my life is now. Needle and spoon references and crazy hippy dances.

Cobber-rific

Howdy!
No news of an awesome class score here. I do however have fun news about my biology class! I think I understood something last class!! This is an accomplishment, not because I'm bad at biology but because my teacher sucks at teaching and I really could not go to class and just use that time to look over the chapters and get more knowledge than by actually going to class!
This weekend is our homecoming and I am excited. Not really for homecoming because I am not a Happy Cobber but an indifferent Cobber but Harvest Ball is on Friday night! I don't actually know if I'm going to that with anyone but if I do it will be fun. I don't have work this weekend which is a miracle in and of itself! My roommate wants me to paint my chest for the football game to which I reply, "hahahaha NO." Those girls are crazy craze for doing something like that. It's usually very cold!! Plus I like to sleep which involves me sleeping past normal hours thus you will never have to worry about me painting for a football game (especially since I hate football...Hockey yes, football, no).
If only we didn't have practice Friday and Saturday night, my life would be complete but we do so I'll just put up with it. I guess I'll take the consolation of both of my teachers going away early for the weekend so I don't have ANY class on Friday!!! YESSS!! Three days of sleeping in!!

AND Ugly Betty is on tonight. AND Frosh frolics is happening (talent show for the freshman class to show off what they can offer to Concordia. Yep, that's how we roll here and usually it's really good!) AND I don't have homework because THERE IS NO CLASS!!!

YESSSSSS!!!
