Exam week is OVER!

So Exams are over with and now I have nothing to do. It's 4:45 in the morning and I'm up and wide awake... thank you so much finals week. My already chaotic sleeping schedule is way outta wack now because I've been up all night some nights for "studying" but I've officially failed one class so I'm glad that's out of the way. I should have never taken that class again... who knew I'd do worse when I actually tried to pass. I don't know... but it's not a necessity for my major so I'm never taking it again. but hey... On a much lighter note... I just saved a bunch of money on.... wait... I lied... I gotta buy books for next semester... I lucked out but didn't all at the same time. If I get all used books I'm looking at about $250 and if they're all new then I pay about $300 or so... I've heard of people paying double that... so, as of now I'm lucky. But whatever. Since I'm not neccesarily talking about any specific thing there won't be any pics... Sorry... but Next time... you'll see.
No more quiet hours.... I'm excited about that... 24 hour quiet hours suck so hard...I swear...lol

Fade 2 Black Party!







Last Thursday there was a party called Fade 2 Black in the Union Square. It was one of the last parties in the old union. Yesterday was the last day for the Den to be open, there will be no more campus Cinema, the union as a whole is closed. With the exception of the Cafeteria it's over! No more den parties or gatherings. What will we do?! I'll get to that later first I need to talk about how big of a hit the Fade 2 Black party was. It was hosted by Billy "the Kid" and his crew from his show on the WIPZ radio show. I'm mad excited about being apart of the radio station now. I got to help set up and tear down the party while partying in between. Fun times. I must say that Union Square went out with a bang, Fade 2 Black set records, Maximum capacity was hit within the first 50 minutes of the doors being open. It was pure craziness! There was a request for entering.... you had to have on all black to get in for $5... majority black $10... no black or very little black... you paid full price of $15...I've never seen so many people lined up outside! There were people from Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and of course the local UW Schools were there. There were a lot of hurt feelings behind that. But next semester its on all over again but in a bigger place with the max capacity at over 1000 instead of 312 or something of that nature. I will be there hopefully not taking pictures at the door because I did com across some mean people... but that's okay I still had mad fun. Even though the party did get shut down 2 hours early it was one of the top places to be this semester. I loved it!

S.O.L.

So if you can't see from this picture my glasses split in half recently... the time stamp is so wrong by the way... and if you look closely ou can see that even Urkell couldn't tape these bad boys back together. So I was SOL this weekend, blind and unable to drive... didn't like that at all. But I got new glasses and I really think I've got the wrong perscription because I can't see that well. But hey whatever floats the boat... I can see enough to drive thats all thats necessary. So I'm behind like 250 in iPod money now because of this little accident I had... sucks much... Wanna know how I broke them? I was putting on a hoodie and had my glasses on and for whatever reason after years and years of doing that... this one day one end of my glasses was still over my eye and the other side was on the floor... took me a while to figure out why everything was so blurry... but that's beyond the point..lol so I was blind as a bat... but deaf too... I can't hear too well... so I've been SOL a lot lately...

Game Night




So I live in the dorms here @ Parkside right... and it just so happens that I live on the best floor ever! All the other floors have serious issues but the third floor is too cool. We are united no real drama unless you count the few petty little disagreements between some girls over guys and things of that nature... nothin' too serious tho. But my floor is the substance free floor which in means no illegal drugs... but those are outlawed on every floor... and no alcohol...even if you're 21. Good thing about that is that we don't get the drunken foolishness. In the past we've had a few things happen in the dorms that affected everyone that was a result of drunken foolishness... thanks to those incidents of mad crazy vandalism of the bathrooms on several floors the wing doors are locked.. and now we're our own seperate communities on each floor. Because of this you keep your keys with you all the time and you're stuck with the people who live there on your floor all the time. With my floor its a good thing we do cool stuff together like game nights... We've had Game nights back to back for the last few days because Everyone is so stressed about finals and we need study breaks. I've never seen everyone have so much fun together... We played UNO, Monopoly, Spoons (even though we used pencils), Hilarium, Chess, Checkers, and we danced a little bit too. I've got pictures of people doin' their happy dances after long games of UNO and alliances being crushed in every round. Crazy times... call us corny or whatever you want to, but the Our Floor Rocks!

It looks like I'm 5 dollars off...


So this weekend I made a promise to myself. I promised myself that I would go to all my classes everyday until the end of the year. To make sure I follow this I made it so that for every class I miss I would take 5 dollars away from my iPod money to buy something for my friends. Lets just say... its 11:40 am on Monday mornin' and I'm out of five dollars. I don't understand it. My sleeping schedule is terribly off for some reason. Probably those all nighters at Starbucks typing my paper last weekend. Whatever it is, it's killing me. I can't even function anymore. When I do go to sleep it's not a good sleep... if you know what I mean. You know the Toss and turning sleep that makes you wake up sore. Kinda sucky but I'll live. There are only three weeks left in the semester before exam week. I can handle this. I've got a routine that I've been following for the most part all semester. Class, food, class, work and homework at work.Then of course the play portion... but I won't go into that. I missed the radio show last night... I'm kinda sad about that but I just couldn't do it, I had no energy to spare. It's okay though. My friends insist I had no energy because a cute dude on my floor was in and out of the room... which is false. If I wanted to look at him that bad I would have asked him to the show... but they'll believe what they want regardless of what I tell them.

I can't wait for Sunday night now. I love the radio show that I host with my roomie and some of our friends. Every Sunday from 9 til midnight we're in control of the air waves of campus radio. 88.5 WIPZ. I love it. We always have fun whether we're in a heated discussion or having a light hearted random question. I admit to hurting some people's feelings but we're buds and they have to deal with it, lol. No hard feelings, I usually challenge everything someone says just for conversation. I hate dead air. There are the few people who just like to hear their own voice in the headphones but the more they talk the less dead air I hear... Whatever works. We play songs at random... everything from R&B to the occasional random alternative rock... I admit it... I have interesting tastes... I'll listen to almost anything except country... for whatever reason I just can't get into it... there are exceptions to that exception but... I won't go into details.
People come and visit us at the station or call in if they want to call in and tell us they disagree with our topic, or just to ask us questions. Eventually we'll be able to broadcast over the Internet but the tech guys who help us have to fix everything else that's wrong with the station first. We have a lot of issues... from broken equipment to bad wiring. I heart the tech guys... you're awesome! So if you want to stop by the station one night we're there, and we also have a show on Wednesdays too, from 6 to 7pm, Random is as Random Does. I personally cannot go to Wednesday night shows because I have night class... next semester it's on... no night classes for me! But My roomie is there, doin' her thing pushin' all the buttons...lol. We have good times... many pictures...

Things I do @ the U







This past week was the drag show here at Parkside. It was pretty intresting. The host was hilarious. Her name is Chantel, what a funny person! dude I swear... We had good times.

I saw a salsa dancing, feather fashioned, high heel wearing drag queen doin' it too big. I saw everything... as Chantel called it, the oldest queen in captivity... funny I've got lots of pictures that are worth thousands of words. I saw some of the prettiest drag queens I've ever seen... and some of the ugliest too... no matter, they all were funny and did their thing to the best of their abilities. I was surprised at the small crowd because last year the room was packed with students, locals, professors... the whole nine. But I think it was the timing this year there were like 5 different things going on that night. Fraternities and Sororities had informationals, there was a den night... party for those who don't know... intramurals were going on... it was just a conflict in intrests. I personally wanted to go to the den night, intramurals, the drag show, and informationals... but they all happend at the same time so it sucked... but I'm happy that I went to the drag show... intramurals happen every Tuesday and Thursday... I'll see the game next time. I gotta say I love the shirt Chantel is wearing... lol So many pictures... so little space...

So I just finished my paper...




I just finished my paper and I'm not too happy about it. I really wish I hadn't waited until the last possible second to do it but I work so well under pressure...Well at least when I'm writing. Now I get to kick back relax and pray that Wednesday class is cancelled... not that I'm going anyway... but hey... Whatever works. People don't be like me... I'm a bad student to some teachers... well I used to be... I do all the work I participate in class, but if I didn't wanna go to class I usually just didn't. If I don't feel challenged, I don't go. Which gave me the kiss of death in every other class... but hey I've changed! I only miss class if I'm really sick. I've been really sick a lot lately tho. don't know what it is... must be me not taking my iron pills... I suck at that kinda stuff too. lol. I'm a pretty good student when I'm not sick tho. Its just that without the iron pills I have very low energy, it takes a lot to do normal stuff like keep warm, walk up a few flights of stairs, kinda sucks because I just thought I was outta shape... doctor told me otherwise... but I don't like doctors... childhood fear I guess.

I should go to the tutoring center sometimes. I do need the help in Math... but i don't know, maybe next semester. I took my spanish placement test in there and never realized that I had never been inside of there. it's a lot bigger on the inside than the little window lets you see. I was a little shocked by it, but not really... From me to you... go there. If you need help don't be a lame like me and avoid it. I've failed math twice now... next time... if there's a next time... I'm going to the tutoring center. Calculus isn't fun... ever. Especially when you're good at Algebra and suck at graphing like me... I hate graphs... but that is beside the point.... Go to the tutoring center... it helps... really!

My Last blog disappeared...


I'm not having a good week. My car broke down, I've got math homework due that I'm not done with, I've got a 5 page paper to finish by tomorrow... and now my blog page won't show up at all. Why is it that when things are already bad technology messes it up even more than it was. Sucks a lot but I don't care anymore. I quit for a few minutes... no more math homework no paper typing just a break. I've been on edge all weekend and this just isn't helping me. I'll figure it out eventually though. I'm so sad at the fact that I had like 4 posts on the other blog and they just won't pop up at all tho... the whole page just disappeared. I can see it's there on my homepage but it doesn't show up anywhere else. none of the formatting none of the pics... just a lame error page. and its been doing that all week. So I made another one with a different URL hopefully it works... I took so much time putting that other page together... kinda makes me angry... I look down on this whole situation with anger.
