what!?!?! jessica on the internet!?!?! this cannot be!!

So, I've had the busiest week of my life. And why was it so busy? Well, simply because I had a bio test this morning. All I have done all week is study for this damn test. Every free minute was filled with biology. Yes, really, every single one. And guess what! I have three exams again next week!!! I swear college is trying to kill me. All my tests seem to be grouped together this semester. But, I did get an 88 on the bio exam. While this is not as good as I had hoped, it is definitely good. I have a B+ in the class right now with two tests and the exam to go. I know I will get a high exam grade, so I just need another high B and an A or two As. I may make it through professor insano's semster quite well.

I realized tonight just how much I am going to miss my suitmate Jess. We went out to dinner tonight as kind of a must-get-out-but-don't-want-to-do-anything deal. And we spent the hour just talking about all kinds of college stuff and the rest of this year and next year. And that was when I realized, she is one of the few people here who I really like to hang out with. She is just so normal compared to the average SMU girl. And the best part about it is that she could be like all the other girls - she has the clothes, money, style and looks - but she is just so normal. And I really get along with her and enjoy hanging out with her. I'm going to be so sad without her next year.

Which brings me to my next point. Next year. I haven't really figured out what I am doing next year. I mean, the majority of my friends are transferring back home. And Danielle is either living at home or she will be an RA. And RAs don't have roommates. So, I don't know if I should live with Chuck or live in the dorms again. And then, who would be my roommate? Which dorm would I live in? Can I handle another year without a kitchen? I mean, there are only so many decent frozen foods. And of course, I still don't know what to do this summer. Part of me really wants to go home and work and be lazy in my own damn house, and part of me knows I should stay here and work for Chuck and save up all my money for school. And then there is the question of whether to live Chuck or Kevin. I know there is a lot more space and quiteness and healthy homecooked food at Chuck's, but there is the akwardness and Sandy and a feeling of having to participate in the evening TV time. I know living at Kevin's would be totally comfortable and normal and nice, but they eat food that is bad for me and they have a lot of dogs and the morning commute would suck. I just really actually don't know what I should do. And I don't know where I am going to store all my school stuff during the summer. There will definitely be packing in boxes this time though. I just don't know where I will keep them all. I just don't know what to do! It's so aggravating.

so, i apparently am meant to have car trauma every week for months at a time. on wednesday, i was stranded in the middle of nowhere because my thrermostat was leaking and my car overheated. it was traumatizing. then kevin took an hour and a half to find me. then he tied me to his truck and we towed me to the car place. now that was the scariest thing i have ever done in my entire life. i was so afraid i was going to hit the back of his truck and kill my car. think no power steering, no power brakes and less than two feet of space between my car and his bumper. but, i got a new thermostat for free and my car seems to be fine.

in other news, my puppy is gigantic! he is starting to look all grown up and i can't get over how big he is getting. he is almost too big to fit in my lap. he's still quite the cutie though. my dad bought a stelth r/t back in january, but i didn't get to see it because he was picking it up the day after i left, so i finally got to see up close and personal. and boy oh boy, it is hot!! i also got to drive it tonight. man, that car has some serious power. it took me a minute to get used to the way it shifts, but then i got to play around a little bit. we're talking some pretty intense power! i may just have to buy one in the future. angus is chasing his tail at this very moment and it is thoroughly amusing. especially when he barks at it cause he can't get it. i am quite enjoying my weekend of doing nothing. it's been so nice, i was motivated enough to transfer some bio powerpoints into word documents and print off all my chem notes for the rest of the semester...which in all actuality doesn't take any real effort at all.

i have yet another exam this week. and it is bio again. i really need it to be a good grade. so maybe later tonight, i'll do some hardcore reading up on plants. have i ever mentioned how much i hate studying the damn plants!?! i just nned an 'a' in bio this semester. i know i will get an 'a' on the final, but there are still 3 other tests that make up my grade. that means another 'a' and two high 'b's or two 'a's which would be really awesome. also, getting an 'a' in bio lab will probably help me out a lot. i should have been a business major. all those classes are so much easier and i would walk out of college with an amazing job.the accounting thing is still rolling around in my head a little bit too. all i would have to do is take economics and get into the business school. and i don't think getting into the business school will take much effort at all. i think all i would need is a 3.0, and i have better than that right now. somehow, i would really like to manage an 'a' in calculus, but i'm not sure that is very plausible. although, that would mean just getting an 85 in the class. and i am slowly starting to understand what we are doing. i just wish that first test would have gone better. chem lab will be an 'a' and spanish will be an 'a'. so i am already almost halfway to straight 'a's. i'm going to talk to maguire and explain to him my need for an 'a' in his class. he's usually pretty good with helping students out and padding certain people's grades. i'll go talk to him sometime this week since our next test is next friday. school causes me a lot of stress. i'm paranoid about getting into med school. all those classes that people take to help their gpas aren't on my schedule until snior year and med schools look at junior year transcripts. it's jsut all so aggravating!! but that's ok. i'll make it through school, and then i'll go to med school and then i'll become one of the best doctor's in the country. and then i'll get married and live happily ever after. i have everything under control.

sometimes i wonder why i even bother to make entries because i know only one person ever reads this. oh well. here goes another waste of my time.

the pats won. i expected this, but i admittedly rooted for the eagles all the way until the bitter end. and i think they did very well despite the fact that t.o.barely played at all. and i am going to marry tom brady. and all that said, it wasn't a great game, but it wasn't too bad. the first half dragged a little because of stupid mistakes. although there was some amazing defense the entire game. and i wish the eagles would learn how to run the ball. it is very difficult to win a game if you can't learn how to run the all up the feild. also, a little too much blitzing was going on, but hey, no team is perefect. as far as commercials were concerned, i am a little disappointed. this year was by far the worst i have ever seen. i did like the pepsi one with p diddy though. that was pretty funny. and i mean the full version one at the beginning of the game, not the short one at the end. the half time show was quite impressive. but then again, who doesn't love paul mccartney. and there were no wardrobe malfunctions and the stage was fucking awesome. i was quite impressed this year. i particulary enjoyed 'live and let die'. and well, that is all i have to say about this year's superbowl because it was semi-disappointing. but that is ok because the all star game is on the 20th. go spurs and manu ginobli!!!

So, back again to my Nutang. I have been the high stress monster the past week. Not crabby, just high-strung. I had a quiz on Tuesday and got really sick. Then I had a chem exam on Wednesday. Thursday was the dultimate study-freak-out day. And today I had a bio and calculus test. Of all the exams, the chem was the only good one. I am getting ready to look at the bio grade. And I just don't want to know about calc. It was either decent or bad. There will be no good involved. Period. And I feel like I wasted all my time studying for these things. I mean, I speny so much time studying the past two weeks, and I still didn't know enough. My brain literally hurt from everything I was trying to cram into it. Fortunately I have no more 3 exam weeks until finals. Oh, and my desktop died. So, I'm on my laptop, which isn't bad. It just isn't my precious little desktop. But hopefully my dad can fix it sometime soon. I was planning on going home next weekend, but it sounds like my dad is taking my brother and sister to Atlanta to visit the grandparents (Mom is going to Keystone). So, I might drive over there and meet them. It'll be boring, but I'll get to see the fam. As for my weekend, I am babysitting tomorrow and watching the Superbowl with Kevin on Sunday. And then there will be studying for the Spanish test I have next week and converting biology powerpoints into word documents. Doesn't that sound exciting!!

Gwen Stefani sings a song about Harajuku girls that I actually really like. Although, I can't help but notice it's a little...ummm...off.

"Yoji Yamamoto, I'm hanging with the locals
Where the catwalk got its claws, all you fashion know-it-alls
With your underground malls in the world of Harajuku
Putting on a show, when you dress up in your clothes
Wild hair color and cell phones
Your accessories are dead on

Harajuku Girls you got the wicked style
I like the way that you are, I am your biggest fan
Harajuku Girls you got the wicked style
I like the way that you are, I am your biggest fan

Harajuku girls, I'm looking at you girls
You're so original girls
You got the look that makes you stand out
Harajuku Girls, I'm looking at you girls
You mix and match it girls
You dress so fly and just parade around (arigato)"

Do you think Gwen Stefani would ever dress like this??:::



Although, I will admit that I can see her dressing like some of the punk Harajukus or the army Harajukus. This just isn't the common Harajuku look. The common Harajuku strives to look like an anime imaginary character. None-the-less, I love the song and imagine that at least to some extent it is true.

As far as the rest of the album is concerned, it is decent. I expected it to be what it was when she said she was going for a more pop sound. And seeing as no current music is all that amazing, this one I can actually listen to. Although, "Hollaback Girl" is absolutely horrible. Not to mention that she is not a rapper. And spelling out the word bananas in a song is just poor lyricism. There are a few other lines in other songs that are pretty bad too, but when you don't think about her potential(or her age and marital status), it makes things a little bit better....I miss the old Gwen Stefani. But I suppose new is better than none.

surprisingly, today has been a very good day. my classes weren't too bad. this afternoon, jess, shea and i went to target to get a few things for our common room. there we found the most awesome, softest, biggest blankets in the world. i'm going to get one after the next time i babysit. then we all just hung out and watched under the tuscan sun. now that was a good movie. it makes me want to move to italy or even spain right now. then we all went to dinner, and they were serving tortilla soup at umph. normally i hate the cafeteria food, but the tortilla soup is so good there. then we all digested and jess and i went to the gym. i have decided that not only is she the sweetest person on the face of the planet, but i also love going to the gym with her. we stretched out for about 10 minutes and then headed downstairs for some cardio. after the shourtest half hour of my life, we were both covered in sweat and ready to go. it worked out well because she can't lift for six months because she did something to her back and i lifted yesterday. so we just did a really intense session on the elliptical. then we came back and i took a ridiculously long shower and now i'm hanging out and watching 21 grams. it's just been a good day.

also, the weirdest thing happened yesterday. shea and i went to see a very long engagement. it was awesome, and i love audrey tautou. but about 30 minutes into it, the fire alarm went off! they evacuated the theater, chaucer's, the irish pub and all the other store connected to the building. so, we wet to urban outfitter's for a little while and then headed back to the theater. they gave us vouchers for next and we got to finish our movie.

and as a final note, my car is all better now.
