9/19-Ok. I stayed up too late last night to go to church. I wish I wouldn't have. Oh well. All I did today was study and talk online. This has been a miserably boring day.
9/20-I went to class. Psychology wasn't as bad today. In mythology, the professor told us that class was canceled on Friday. I was really happy because I was going to have to miss it anyway. I'm going home on Thursday evening for my dad's surprise party on Saturday. I also went and got a membership at Curves. My four tests are getting closer and closer. I'm not looking forward to next Monday through Wednesday.
9/21-I hate Tuesdays. They are long and terrible. Anyway, that's all the complaining I'm going to do today. I saw something really funny on my way home. I was sitting at a red light on the drag and I looked to my left, the side with all the stores on it. I saw about 8 or 9 people walking down the sidewalk in a big group wearing refrigerator boxes. They had armholes on the sides and small holes cut out of the front so they could see. They were all bumping into each other and I think some of them were skipping. I was just sitting there staring at them trying to figure out what was going on when I remembered I should pay attention to the road. I looked forward and I saw the girl in the jeep in front of me stick her cell phone out her window and take a picture of the cardboard people. At that point I busted out laughing. It was just really funny all of a sudden, after I quit trying to figure it out. I dedicate this journal entry to people who help "Keep Austin Weird".
9/22-I almost forgot that I have to pack tonight because I'm leaving for Cleveland right after class tomorrow. I dread the drive, but what will be worse is having to study for 4 tests. This is not going to be a good weekend. I got a ticket to the UT vs. Baylor game today without having to stand in a line at all. Jill told me when she found out there was no line and I rushed to campus. It was great. Right now I'm listening to this awesome playlist I made. I love it. I'm about to burn it onto a CD so I can listen to it on the way home tomorrow. Today when I was telling Jill about the cardboard people I saw yesterday I remembered something that I saw a couple weeks ago that was really funny. I was the second person sitting at a red light. There was a homeless guy standing at the corner with a sign that just said 'Hungry'. The people in front of me rolled down their window and handed the guy a sandwich in a ziploc bag. He took it and said thanks to them. He took a few steps back and looked at the sandwich through the bag. Then, he stepped back up to the truck and gave them the sandwich back!! I think that when you are holding a sign that says 'Hungry' you shouldn't be picky about what's on a sandwich! I found that really funny and kind of ironic.
9/23-I'm back in Cleveland. It was terrible having to drive back after class at 5. Casey is sitting here and she wants me to type about her. She is a dork so that's all I'm going to say. Not much happened today.
9/26-I'm back in Austin now. I actually got studying done at home this weekend. It wasn't as much as I needed to get done, but I'm still amazed that I did any of it. Heather and I went to El Ranchito and watched 'Starsky and Hutch' on Friday night. On Saturday, we baked homemade white chocolate chunk cookies and then went to my dad's party. The party was pretty good. There were about 60 people there. The weekend felt so much longer since I went to Cleveland on Thursday night and was there all day Friday. I saw Noel at church this morning. He just drove in from Charleston last night. Skip just flew to Louisville yesterday. He will be in Cleveland on October 9th, the day Noel is leaving. Ellen and I are going back to Cleveland on October 8th because we had already planned it before I knew I was going to have to go this weekend. At least I won't have 4 tests the following week like I do this week!
9/27-My psychology test went fairly well today. I have no idea what I made, but it wasn't terrible so I'm not too worried. I've been studying endlessly for history and accounting. I'll be very glad when it's 1 on Wednesday. That will be my last test for awhile. I'll get my worst two over tomorrow though. I'm not stressing over mythology. I don't have to be on campus until 2 tomorrow, so I'm going to get up when I normally do and spend the extra time studying. I can't wait to go to the game this weekend. It will be my reward for a miserable week.
9/28-My history test went pretty well. I should get a decent grade as long as they don't grade them really hard. My accounting test was how I expected it to be, which isn't necessarily good. I don't really have any idea how I did on it. My last test is tomorrow in mythology. I'll be so glad when it is over. I feel like all I've done since Friday is study, which is mostly true. I'm sick of it. The bad thing is that after I get through with all the tests I'm going to have to do the reading I've been neglecting while I've been studying. I just want it to be Friday. I'm so tired. My government class is getting so boring that when she finished lecturing today a few people actually cheered. It was pretty funny, especially since everyone felt the same way. On top of it being boring, there is one guy in there that always makes comments about everything. It gets really annoying.
9/29-My mythology test was good today. All the stuff I thought was going to be hard was easy, and vice versa. I'm really glad I'm done with all my tests, for now anyway, but now I'm going to have to read a lot to catch up. I went to Wal-Mart and took Ellen and Travis. I really needed to go because I was out of everything. I wanted to go right when I got back to Austin, but I've been studying too much.
9/30-I tried to read and stuff for my classes, but I just can't. I'm so sick of studying. I'll do it on Sunday afternoon. I guess I don't have anything else today.
