Well, I am a very happy camper (no pun intended). I can't wait to go camping tomorrow, and I can't wait for happy hour today. I guess there is no sailing since no one has contacted me via email or whatever. Hmmm, maybe I should check the messages on the answering machine. But, i don't wanna.

I had lunch with a girl named linda and this guy from my spanish class. It was great fun. Always nice to make a new friend. or two. Man, speaking of spanish, was it ever boring today. We spent the day discussing "el Sur" in our books. I think I really want the argentinian guy back. He was so freakin' cool! Our ta just lacks emotion and personal interest.

Not like th's class this week, where we went to the ecovillage for class on wednesday. Dude, that was the coolest class ever. It made me really want to live in LA for the summer so that I could help out there. I forgot my wallet in my room though, so now I owe th one for getting me yogurt and some coconut juice for lunch. A side note: cultured yogurt tastes FANTASTIC. Yum Yum Yum.

Well, I finished my story, and my pictures were pretty cool. I still can't get my ftp client to work, so oh well.

It occurs to me that I haven't really written in at least a week or so. How sad is that? Ah well, not like you suckers cared anyhow...

I went home this weekend. It was nice, I went out on a date with tyler (who by the way is the sweetest) and went to jerry's famous deli for dinner, and then walked around westwood until 1145, when we went and got in line with julie and heather to see the matrix. I guess I'm not much of a movie snuggler person, because i like to devote my total attention to whats going on up on the screen... especially when it's the matrix reloaded! I just have problems holding hands during the entire movie. Perhaps I'm a limited input kind of person??? Anyhow, got home at three and said goodnight to all (how the hell do you kiss a guy, anyhow?) and went to bed. woke up at 1148, went to brunch with julie, did laundry and left to go home at five. I actually MADE all the busses without having to wait in between, and the subway and train too! I had to haul ass in the train station though to get to the platform on time. =) eheh heh.

Spent the evening with family after getting home at 720...was very nice. Sunday, I got up at 930, and had food, and then proceded to get my backpacking stuff down and get rid of all the clothes in my closet that I just don't use. Goodwill, here they come! I got rid of almost everything. Now, if only I could find more room for all the books overflowing from my bookshelf. Maybe we'll buy another for the summer, since my old bedroom is now becoming the "study/project/do stuff" room, and Julie's room is now OUR bedroom. AHaaa! We decreed (for the summer) that no music was allowed in there; only reading and sleeping. Which sounds GREAT to me. I can't sleep with music on.

It's amazing how much I realize that I love my family. I go back home for just a few hours, and have a fantastic time, everytime! I even had time to work on my resumes and got some suggestions for summer jobs (which I'll be following up). Trimming mom's bushes in the backyard with a resultant "trimming throwing" fight with dad is always something to see too! Wouldn't have missed it for the world. It's so sad that some people don't like to go home. I feel really sorry for them that they don't like their home life.

Mmmm, ham for dinner, and then daddy drove me back to the dorms. I packed my backpacking stuff last night, watching the simpsons season premiere. Funny shit. Now my backpack is sitting near my closet, in the way because I can't fit it into my upper cupboard. Rats.

Hmmm, desk is a mess. AND I have a spanish paper to write. I suppose that I should start now. But I reallllly REALLLLLY don't want to. Judith is taking a nap. Haven't seen Jane since she left the door open this morning. Why the hell does she do that while judith and I are sleeping? She bloody well knows that we can't get up and stop someone who would want to steal it. And what if some psycho tried to take advantage of us? That's also why I REALLY hate it when they leave a pin in the door. I'm not as trusting of human nature as they are, after having my door signs stolen repeatedly; it's a walking invitation that screams "Here! Here! Take all their shit! The doors open, welcome, come on in!" And that bothers me.

Bloody roomate. Siiiiiiigh. Hum. My plants seem to be doing better; I watered them, and keep watering them more often. I really think that I should re-pot them durig the summer, or put more dirt in the pots. Their dirt is turning hard. Another not to self: I need a pair of generic sunglasses, because I'm really blind when it's sunny out, and the sun hurts my eyes! My oaklies are screwed up, and semi workable, but I don't want to put too much stress on them. So, I'll have to tell dad to keep an eye out for new sunglasses.

Ooh, I wrote a rap song on thursday. I'll have to post it. It's a very angry environmental rap. And, mom read my "moth" story and said it was creepy and disturbing. Hoooraaay! Just what I was going for!

I can't procrastinate any longer. Time for me to get to work and stop being such a complete slacker.

How the heck do I post other stuff here? i wanna post my story, and pictures!

Am so tired. Turned in my horrific doomsday scenario yesterday...Am going to send it in via email again...I had to add some sources.

Am so tired after walking back from lunch at the house. Discovered that I had eaten a boca burger for lunch (and here I thought it was a hamburger patty). It was pretty good too. Why am I so tired? Maybe because it's thursday.

I went to bed early last night after going to the astronomy society meeting. It was SO much fun, I'm gonna go every week. Next week on thursday (at 8) there's another planetarium training event...besides the meeting wednesday night. I gotta go and find a job now for the summer, and contact the guy about living in the frat house during the summer. Wish me luck!!

Wow, was sailing ever fun. I got my mexi food, and then hoofed it to ackerman turn around. We (brent and me) ended up sailing vangard 15's. Definitely the sweetest two person boat to ever be created. DAMN! We flew downwind, and there was so much steerage! I can't wait to go back next tuesday. We only tipped once because of the wind, and spent five minutes in the water swimming around, because it's hard to get the boat to right without RE-tipping it.... I was so wet and cold, I took a 30 min shower afterwards. MMMM. And now the marina girls locker room has shampoo and conditioner... not just dial soap! HEAVEN. After that we all went to dinner at el torito (chips for me, wasn't hungry). Bleah, el torito. Next time joe will pick a good restraunt (it'll be cinco de mayo next tuesday!). Looks like we're all gonna be really involved with sailing stuff next year. Let the fun BEGIN!

Hmm. today is not so interesting, I spent the afternoon dancing around the room, getting a workout, and watching cartoons on cartoon network. Hooray for ruroni kenshin and yu-yu hakusho! I love TH's class every wednesday. It's always so interesting. I get to create my own dystopia for next week. Lemme tell ya, its gonna be fuckin' SCARY. I'm definitely gonna post it. Oh yesh!

Had lunch by chance with Kyung and her friend (adam?), since I went down for breakfast at lunchtime. (got up late today at nine am). Lunch was actually good today. Greek themed food. the chicken sandwitch was good, and so were the potatoes and milk. I think sometimes i really do just want lunch food for breakfast, but nooo, rieber has no originality when it comes to breakfast food. Only lunch.

I then had more food after taking a leisurely 30 min walk to class....at aephi. Yum, the food there is really good. pasta and a salad. Strange, but I never have to talk much at the house. I don't have to talk at ALL. It's sort of nice sometimes. Though sometimes i wonder if the girls care what i say anyhow....my big sis and pledge class does, but I just have problems connecting with some of the older girls' cliques. Not that I don't like them, I do! *sighs deeply*

You know, if I ever died, I think that I wouldn't want to be some icky corpse. I'd like to be cremated and chucked in the ocean or something. At least then I'd be helping feed the fishies something other than toxic waste and pollution!! I just randomly thought of that.

Ooo, must remember, I owe joe two drinks, and bridget owes me two lunches!!! Hmm, that brings me to dinner. C and O's trattoria with the floor. Yum, sounds promising. In the meantime, gotta pee and talk to sister via IM. I wonder if anyone even reads this freakin blog.

Something to worry about: I'm not very girly. Is there something wrong with me? I just don't care about all the "drama" shit that most girls do. It's just not interesting to me. I don't care who fucked who last night. I'd rather talk about science or computers or cars or ANYTHING else. Maybe it's because I was sort of raised to expect intelligent conversation at meals, and after meals....Or 'cause I was sort of raised as dad's surrogate "son" or daddy's lil' girl in the family. Aw shoot, I'm just filling space, aren't I? Dang. Later.
