finals week aka every college student contemplates dropping out

soooo this weekend begins the very fun week of college called finals week. its not that fun though. it actually is the worst in case you didnt know. most college students have mental breakdowns this week because of the insane amount of work they need to do in order to try and ace (or at least pass) their classes. a week from today i will be HOME on long island!!! but until then its work work work! i have several papers to do, but one of my finals is done already and one is half done. so thats good i guess. also gotta pack up my stuff, clean the room, throw out anything i dont need to take home and use up the rest of my points!!

basically, i'm preparing for a week of nothing but stress and starbucks. any fred state people who need a break hit me up cause if i dont take breaks i will dieeeeeeeeeeee!

i hate finals, even if all mine are papers. they still suck!

good luck on yours, everyone!

fred fest results!

sooo this weekend was fredfest. for those of you who dont go to fredonia state, its a big ass drunken festival where people start thursday and end in the wee hours of sunday morning. i did well this year--only puked friday night and that wasnt until i got home at 3am so i consider it a win. i mixed every type of alcohol known to man, went to three house parties and 4 bars. started at 2pm and ended at 3am. sucessss!

saturday was fun too, i worked security at the jacks mannequin concert and it was awesome. met some cool new friends. made a new bestfried saturday night, he is basically exactly like me but a guy. his name is jeremy and we debated star wars, discussed the office, sand brand new songs from atop a roof at 2am, jammed out to the beatles on a couch on my friends frot lawn, and yelled at some drunk biddies as they meandered on by. it was epic, to say the very least. i rapped some eminem for the saturday night crew and they said i have a lovely singing voice (ha) and it was pretty awesome. i wasn't even hungover today! winnnnnn again :)

oh and osama bin laden is finally dead! cheers; death to terrorism i guess!

ps... its good to be back blogging :)

my inner monologue

sooo my inner monologue entertains me a lot. so i am going to just write down anything that comes to mind here. for instance i currently have nickelodeon on and its an episode of spongebob. and actually i've never seen it before and its pretty good, as usual. squidward is the funniest squid ever an his clarinet always sounds like its dying haha. and spongebob is crying because patrick is stupid. almost as stupid as my cat, tinkerbell. i miss that fat cat. i wish that she was here with me because she would sleep on my bed and we could cuddle when i watch tv at night and she could try to sit on my lap when im at my computer and i would just love to have a sweet little (big) cat here all the time. i wanna take her with me to park place next year but idk if we can have cats there. i hope we can but if not i will try to find a way to get her in. i thnk she would like to get away from my family because they all just hate her kind of. they dont exactly love her because sometimes she smells like poop. we dont think she cleans herself. and she has these big scary yellow eyes which are kind of creepy late at night. and also because shes a cudddly cat and always wants to sit on a lap and cuddle. my dad hates that but probably becuase he is allergic sort of to cats.

i cant wait for spring break to see my cats and my parents and my friends and my boyfriend and even my car. i miss seeing that old beat up honda accord. its jonk but its my junk and its like the millenium falcon--may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. also i have so many memories with the accord... got pulled over in it, got out of a ticket in it, driven drunken fools home in it, driven it to work in 104 degree weather with no air conditioner, and its made a trip to florida and back. that was when it was my parents car. but now its mine and i wanna take it with me next year also. but idk if it will make it because its super old and not everyting works in it. like the door locks dont work from the inside, and dont work at all on one of the back doors. they only work fully on the drivers door and the passenger door. but its ok because it has radio and power windows (that are mad slow) and its a nice color and the dents and chipping paint and rust make it look vintage-y. and again, its MINE and my pride and joy. i dont want a new car for a while. and i def want another honda, maybe an accord. or maybe a big ass truck hahaha.

i am turning 21 in twenty days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait. i am gonna wake up and have a mimosa for breakfast. then go buy some alcohol from a liquor store with my license that will finally say im 21. then i will go to happy hour at multiple bars. then i willc ome home for dinner, and have a drink with dinner. or 5. and then bar hopping allllll night!!!!!!!!!!!!  i just cant wait to go to a restaraunt and order their delicious looking fruity drinks that always sound so yummy and look so pretty on the menus!!

i'm a regular

soo for those of you who attend fredonia state university, you know how awesome the on campus starbucks is. they have drinks as well as breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches and pastries and salads and healthy juice and all that jazz. well, i'm a regular at starbucks. and i usually get the same thing. on the weekends and occasionally after morning classes, i get a turkey bacon and egg white breakfast sandwich and an iced black tea lemonade, grande, sweetened, with light ice (if its warmish) or a peppermint mocha (from november to january) or a raspberry mocha after february. very rarely do i switch it up and get a caramel macchiato with extra caramel. and in the spring and summer, sometimes i opt for a java chip frappacino, double blended, instead of my usual black tea lemonade. and i am so predictable that all the cashiers know me by name. when i tell them what i want (they write your name on your cup or sandwich bag) the girls who have been working there forever always write sam before i even have to tell them i'm sam. its great. and i've never had a messed up drink order, either. great, fast service at this starbucks and as always, great drinks and food. its just funny that not only does one of the cashiers know me, but at least 6 of them start to write my drink order and my name on te cup before im done ordering what i want lol

the value of alone time

so i'm back. and i'm going stir crazy a little bit. for one thing, the frigid weather and SNOW came back. yea, not good. and of course right after i cleaned my uggs off...ugh. story of my life. but honestly i am suffering from a lack of solitude. it seems like no matter what i try to do i can never have my alone time. i live with other girls and even tho a lot of my friends go home for the weekend, i never get to. i am always surrounded by people. if i go to the fast food place and i clearly appear to be just grabbing something to go, i always run into people i know and get suckered into hanging out for 4 hours and lose track of what it was i wanted to accomplish in the first place. i'm not anti-social, but im getting sick of being surrounded by SOO many people 24/7.  the ra's come in for rounds, ok. thats their job and they're nice. my suitemates are nice and so is my roomie. i love all my friends...but i also love my solitude. i just need the room to myself sometimes to watch tv alone or write in my book or read a magazine. i like to watch a movie without interruptions or questions or comments on how thats not realistic for ONCE. i really dont like when people talk during a tv show or a movie. even if i've seen it a million times, this is NOT the time for you to get into an in-depth convo with someone!!! shut up!!! we watch a movie for a reason--to hear the dialogue and see the action. not to hear your dumb comments. keep them to commercials or shut it!

sorry i've been stressed this week...can't wait for spring break (less than 3 weeks) and for my 21st birthday (less than a month) and just for this entire semester to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok. enough of my blabbing and complaining.

a national blue ribbon school of excellence...

well as i'm sure my long islanders know, this morning my high school vice-principal Gerald Waldman was arrested for stealing over $100,000 from the school to pay his personal expenses.  While i think this is awful (and TOTALLY explains why the chairs and textbooks were from the 50s and barely staying together) i feel sympathy.  I feel awful for the stdents who go there now; how must that feel to be in that enviornment where now you cant even trust the adults around you? I feel bad for our principal Mrs Debra Ledowski, who must be dealing with a ton of crap right now. Poor Deb, like she doesnt have enough to deal with. Poor staff, now i'm sure everyone's going to be under tighter surveillance when dealing with any amount of money.

i honestly cant believe this happened...the guy was a sweet old man. funny, nice, and he had a style that can only be described positively. sure, he may have yelled at me once or twice for wearing tank tops with spaghetti straps (we had to have straps at least 1 inch wide and i got called to the principals office just about every year for breaking this stupid rule), but honestly the guy was just following protocol. i never blamed teachers for reprimanding me when i deserved it. and i got away with so much crap anyway haha; the Deb impressions, writing on certain peoples' lockers, the many senior pranks during locker clean up hahahaha the list goes on and on.

this guy was funny, too. he walked with a swagga, he danced like a teenager at our senior awards dance and even tried his hand at DJ-ing at prom. he was almost like an authority figure that was more of a friend. some of the teachers at sewanhaka may have been just regular teachers but some of them were really kind and reached out to the students. i felt like mr waldman and the vice principal before him, mr farina, were just like that. although mr farina yelled at me a lot more for the dress code more haha.

but honestly, mr waldman looked smarter than that. why he would need to steal money at all, let alone the amount that he embezzled. i just feel bad and its kind of horrible that sewanhaka faculty has been getting bad press the last few years. an art teacher was also fired a few years back for unsavory circumstances and he was one of my favorite teachers. i had him for ap art history and the guy was awesome--had a great, sarcastic sense of humor and always joked with us when the 6 of us in the class giggled at the naked statues we had to study. he taught me more about art than i learned in my college level course, and he was a harsh grader so he made sure we all studied our butts off.

it just seems like nice people have been doing stupid things lately that cost them notonly their jobs, but their lives and reputations. somethings wrong when good people turn to crime, and its really, really sad.

breaking news! and patricia's shout-out

SOO for all of you who don't live in western new york...something crazy is happening! global warming must be real because it is currently 58 degree soutside!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG no way!! But legit, it is that warm outside. so nice, in fact, that i was able to wear light sweat pants that are very very thin and my juicy jacket and tank. and thats it! no winter jacket, no scarf, no stupid mittens without fingers (haha..sorry mom but they just dont cut it when there's 4 feet of snow), and no uggs!  yep, its officially sneaker weather again. hopefully this soon turns to flip flop weather because i have some really cute sandals that i cant wait to break out.

PLUS its sunny...aka goodbye snow slush and gross dirty ice that has lined the sidewalks of this campus since the semester started. and while it is supposed to go down to 50 tonight it will also rain, hopefully driving out the last of the remaining slush. i cant wait for it to be gone!!! i am soo sick of winter its ridiculous. i definitely am suffering from that winter depression thingy SAD because ive just been so bored and haven't wanted to do anything at all since the semester began. so this sunshine adn warm weather is definitely a good thing not just because it means no more wiping out on the walk to class haha.

allrighty then... time for a hall council agenda meeting then relaxing then homework and such..
