a better way

i wrote out 56 notecards for art history. it took for freaking ever. it was semi fun though. i can't believe i'm saying that. test next week. eek.

made squash for dinner. let's just say that it was rather difficult to cut through.

it came out a tad uneven.

and took 4 different knives

oh yeah i made brussel sprouts too

with salt and pepper. they were so tasty.

and my squash turned out after all! with apples and brown sugar in the middle. plus i couldn't even eat it all so there is more than half left in the fridge for tomorrow night! with the rest of my sprouts and napa cabbage. i love veggies.

I'm not alone, I really believe
You never go, You never leave
Here and now, You always stay
I love you could not be said a better way
It's everything You've promised
There's no greater love than this
[A Better Way- Downhere] <------ that's where the title came from.

DNC

the chairperson of the DNC is not howard dean.

you'd think a political science test could get it right. no?

it's tim kaine, buddy boy, let's get some points back.

also, i'm fairly certain the AARP does not "enjoy support" from all 35 million members. that's just awkward. half of those people probably don't even know what benefits they're getting.

and terrorism in switzerland? maybe we should re-evaluate the tests. you think?

online classes are mildly frustrating. i like face to face confrontation. guess it's good to learn that now.

i've done close to nothing again today. except for work for 5 hours, take a polysci test, make squash, watch a fire alarm in the greek houses and make brussel sprouts. and get halfway through a season of how i met your mother. i think that's productive. this weekend is fantastic.

oh yeah, i did decide that i'm going to quit school, move to the alps, create an alpaca farm and knit sweaters. gooddddd plan. can you tell i haven't talked to anyone in a few hours? i'm asking and answering my own questions. watch out.

everything but....

...homework.

no classes yesterday, no work, no ice skating. and pretty much everyone and their brother went home for the weekend. so what did i do? nothing. just kidding that's only half true. i got some of my to-do list done. and went to IV. but every once in a while i just really need a day off. i realized that i had a paper due at midnight (realized this around 11:25) good thing i'm ahead of the game and had finished writing it a week ago. good thinking.

woke up at 6:30 this morning and got out of bed after only 15 minutes of snooze buttons. worked from 7:45-12:30 doing various things. made grilled cheese and carrots for lunch. well i didn't make the carrots but you know what i mean. washed them at least. now i need to take 2 tests for political science and write the paper due tuesday. that one i dont have written already but i finished the outline so yay.

i've decided to minor in art history. thoughts? i'm not sure. too indecisive for this declaring business.

hmm, what could i do instead of homework now? the possibilities are endless. i enjoy playing music and singing out loud. this activity is best when no one else around. also, good thinking. got some good stuff on my itunes, its fantastic. there will be no concerts anytime soon.

five weeks until this quarter is over. i've been here for eight already. this seems like a long time. what have i done? not sure. i should probably figure that out.

i just realized i'm still wearing my name tag. seeing as there is no one else around i think it's safe to take it off. i wonder if people even read all of this? maybe. maybe not. hi mom. i figured you'd make it this far ;)

oh yeah, it snowed two days ago. not enough to warrant a blog post but still. winter's here. it's like 32 degrees on a regular basis now.

brick city homecoming 2009

the first 4 pictures are from a professional photographer for the RIT alumni website. it just gives a good look at how MANY fans were there. over 7,000!

homecoming weekend was this weekend. mom, dad and alison drove up friday morning and got here around 2 i think. i got... some... homework done before then. friday afternoon we went to Moe's for dinner and then to see Jim Gaffigan the comedian. saturday we woke up and got ready to go see Jimmy Wales (the founder of wikipedia). made a trip to wegmans for some lunch (pizza!) and then food shopping :) we even found some pumpkins on the way home. after that we got all dressed up in orange for the HOCKEY GAME! a new brick city homecoming tradition. it was awesome especially because it was so packed. we got seats right down on the ice which was excellent. after the game we were all starving so we went in search of some dinner. alison almost ate some small children she was so hungry, but not to worry we found her a sandwich so all of the kids are safe. just kidding ;) sunday morning we all went to jay's diner for some food before they headed off. excellent weekend :)

89 exploding leaves.

i'd like to think of myself as a decently nice person, you know? i mean we all have our days, but for the most part. apparently not. guess i'll have to work on that. or maybe it's not me...

in the mean time, i'm thoroughly enjoying fire alarms. especially when they allow me to leave class an hour early. fantastic.

got an 89 on my typography quiz. it was 50 questions, fill in the blank.

working on a typography project with a school in california over a server. we took goofy pictures today and emailed them to our "partners". seems cool.

brick city homecoming pictures will come in the next post.

it's week 6. crazy?! can't believe it.

life is going generally pretty decent. for the most part. i guess.

i have brussel sprouts in the fridge for dinner. i'm kind of excited. i had an avocado last night. squash for later this week. yumm.

it's supposed to snow on friday. i'm still wearing flip flops. this could be a problem.

175

looking back, i remembered that my goal for blog pots this year is 175. i'm at 147 now, that seems okay right? i'm not a math major though. i'm going to have to start having some pretty blog worthy days. encounters with the police? trips to foreign countries? maybe i'll just stick to being really busy. went ice skating today, i got my blades re-sharpened so stopping was a no-go. backwards skating is coming along, dont expect to see me in the olympics anytime soon though.

speaking of time and the year. week 5 is almost over.. what?! 6 weeks from now is thanksgiving break. 4 weeks after that is christmas break. the picture above isnt really serving any purpose other than the fact that its a drawing i did last year and into this year. .. im slow, okay?

i love sagmeister, his lecture was on monday night and it was absolutely fantastic.

you cant really see it from the picture but thats my project on the left. the place was packed.

anyway, i should start paying attention in class again. this is my way of attempting to stay awake. don't worry, half of the time i wrote this we were on break so its a-okay.
