Goddamnit All
October 20, 1:00 AM 16 days? I hoped it would never get this bad, but the last two weeks have been very unforgiving. On the 9th, Mandie and I had our year and a half celebration. I got her some flowers and we went out to Hosses for dinner. We dressed up and had a nice date. Afterwards we ran into Julie and her date for the night, and hung out with them for a while. On the 12th many things happened. I met Mandie for lunch at the hub, which was nice. We never did that before. Maybe next time we will get the sushi. Then, around 3:45, I got terrible news. Buba, my grandmother, had passed away. Her condition took a sudden turn for the worse a couple days before, and her body just couldn't take it anymore. After the experiment I was scheduled to take part in was over, I drove straight home. I skipped my Thursday classes, and since we had Friday off I didn't have to worry about missing anything. Friday night I drove out to Westchester with Allison. All the relatives were congregating there. The next day we had the funeral mass for Buba. By the way, Buba is short for Bubushka which is polish for Grandmother. the mass lasted a good long time, then we all went to a buffet style restaurant to eat. I ate the equivalent of about two dinners because I was damn hungry. I also talked to a lot of my cousins and other relatives I hadn't seen in a while. Saturday night we all came back home. Sunday, the 16th, was a typical family Sunday. My dad and I went to church, my mom stayed home because she felt ill from all the grief, and Allison stayed with her. After Mass I relaxed for a bit, then went outside to help my dad with emptying and tying down the pool cover, and putting away my mom's garden bench. I then packed up, and just as I was leaving for school my relatives showed up (there was a second service for buba near Pittsburgh on Monday, which I couldn't make it to). I said goodbye to everyone and made it back without any problems. On Monday I realized that I forgot all about the paper that was due in psych 101 because of everything that happened. The professor gave me two extra days to do it. After class, the rest of the day was homework. Tuesday was a weird day. Since I missed art class on Thursday, I didn't know we were suppossed to meet at old main Tuesday. I met another guy that also didn't know what was going on, so we stayed near our normal classroom and worked on our art there. I started around 11:30, and by 3 pm I was still working on the stupid thing. Then my art professor found me, and told me where I was suppossed to be. No big deal. After art history, the rest of the day was homework. So finally we arrive at today, Wednesday, the 19th. After classes, I picked Mandie up and we studied for a while at my appartment. Afterwards I took her back to the dreaded dorms and worked on stuff myself. Thats all for today, see you next time. I will always love you, cupcake. Live, Breathe, Eat, and Sleep Gaming. Can I see some ID October 4, 12:36 AM Well here we are 12 days later. On October 1st I turned 21. Mandie joined my family and I for dinner at Red Lobster. Of course we ordered a pile of food, which they forgot to make, so we got the appetizers and desert for free. Later that night, I went to the local 6 pack and got some Smirnoff Ice to share with Mandie. It's so cool how it tastes like Spree. This past week and a half or so also marked the first round of Exams for me. I got 100% on my Cognitive Psych exam, somewhere between an 85% and 95% on art history, and I havent gotten my Abnormal psych or psych 101 back yet. They were all challenging on the whole, but not too hard. Also, I won a $100 best buy gift card. Too bad they didn't have anything I wanted. The past week and a half was almost all studying due to exams...hopefully something more interesting happens soon. Which reminds me, me and Mandie's year and a half celebration is coming up. 18 months and still going strong. I love you so much cupcake, 18 months have gone by so quickly, but at the same time, wonderfully. Shift up. Don't melt your face September 21, 12:33 AM Damn its been ten days?! Where does the time go... Over this past weekend Mandie came over and we watched Saw. This was the first time I saw it since we went to see it in the theaters. It was just as good as I remembered it, especailly my favorite part: Lawrence: Awwww FUCK THIS SHIT! (makes a turnikin to cut off foot) Adam: Wait Lawrence! Just calm down! Wait don't do that! (Lawrence starts cutting) Adam: Oh Jesus Christ!! STOP!! Noo... I love that part. Art 001 has been improving somewhat. I started to really get annoyed with the people that only show up to that class to socailize, talk on their cell phones, and generally be disrespectful. The class isnt that long people, if you are just going to be assholes and not pay any attention, why did you come? Art 020 is still my most hated class. It's suppossed to be Intro to Drawing, but what it really is, is intro to drawing/painting. I hate painting. I'm starting to hate drawing. Shit, at this point I'd rather be doing calculus. At least in there they actually teach you how to do it. My art teacher just puts something in front of us and says "Draw it." Uhh....yeah. Sure. Psych 101 is okay, I just finished my first paper for that class. It was actually an extra credit paper so I'm starting off on the right foot in there. They seem to make a bigger deal about plagerism up here than in Altoona, so I made damn sure I cited every single paragraph that wasn't mine and listed all my sources in a bibliography. If they try to nail my with plagerism now, I can tell Spanier to shove it up his ass. Psych 221 has an exam coming up soon. Apparently they are a lot harder than the prof makes them out to be so I'm going to have to watch out for this one. The class doesn't seem that hard though, I think as long as I read my notes and the textbook I'll be fine. There was actually a study session for it tonight but I didn't go...had other stuff to do. HPA 057 continues to be a waste of time. The latest homework from there had me go to some kind of health assesment site and put in my information, so it could give me a general health assesment. It told me I'm too fat and need to stop eating fast food. Probably a good idea since I have diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease running in the family. Finally, psych 212 is probably my favorite class. We are going over all the different kinds of psychological therapy and treatments, and the prof is an endless font of anecdotes and stories about his clients. Of course, he never gives out the real names, but they are still funny as hell. Right now, mentally, I kind of feel like I'm trying to run underwater. I know I have stuff to do, and no real reason not to do it, but I still just don't do it. I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm just lazy, or maybe I'm ready for fall break. My workouts are going alright, I'm up to jogging about 2.8 miles, and my lifting program is picking up steam now. I'm also trying to eat less garbage. I'm sure that is helping too. Well thats it for now, see you all whenever I see you again. I love you cupcake, I will always be here for you I am the Pwnage. Bitches. Maintain Control September 11, 7:38 PM Ah crap. I skipped some days. On Friday I woke up late and had to take the later bus. This made me late for class, so I had to sit on the floor in the back. It wasn't so bad though, actually sort of comfortable. I can't even remember what happened in Cognitive psych or health care class. In abnormal psych my professor had a cool story about this 7 year old kid who wouldn't stop acting up. He never listened to his parents, did poorly in school, and was generally a pain. When my prof, a therapist, asked him why he did these things, the kid said "Because when my parents are yelling at me, they aren't yelling at each other." Sad story. I spent the rest of the day shopping and doing other odd jobs. On Saturday I slept in till 3 PM. I haven't slept in that late since my Junior year of high school. That day was spent on homework and playing Rome. Mandie had to go home for the weekend so I talked to her too. Today I slept in again but not quite as bad. I still have homework to do, which I'll do a little later. Just now I had a huge workout, I was in the gym for over an hour lifting and running on the treadmill. Now I am totally spent. Thats about it. See you all later. I love you so much hun, see you soon! Gods...I hate Gauls... Rome: Total War forever One more deviation and you'll be retarded September 9, 1:11 AM Today I slept in again. I just made it out to the bus and got to art class. In there, we had to finish up our drawings, which I did with some help from the proffessor. He said it looked very good, and I was satisfied with that, so I packed up and left. I took the bus back here to drop off my art stuff, then went to the bank to cash the check my parents sent me. After that I took the bus back to campus and didn't have time to eat anything before my art history class, so I grabbed a grilled chicken meal at McDonalds and ate during the class. It was kind of weird shoving french fries into my mouth and taking notes at the same time. Then I got back here and relaxed, but decided to work out around 9. Thankfully, this time the gym wasn't overrun by treadmill hogs and I got up to 2.62 miles. After that I talked to Mandie for a while and did my homework. Now I am very tired and want to sleep. See you tomorrow. I love you cupcake, good luck this weekend. Our road to victory will be paved WITH SKULLS! Watch out for bugs September 8, 2:23 AM Ohh man, I skipped a day. Yesterday, the 7th, was art day. I drew my pictures in art 20 and took my notes in art 1. After that, I came back to the appartment and got ready to look for pictures for the collage that is due this Thursday. I found none. Later that evening I went down to the gym to find it completely overrun by treadmill hogs. Today I just barely got up in time to catch the bus. I made it to all my classes, in which nothing really memorable happened. Around quarter to 6 I met up with Mandie for ice cream. After that we stayed at her appartment for a bit, and went for a short walk. When I left and got back to my room, I went to work on the collage to once and for all get it done. I just got it finished. See you all tomorrow. You are everything to me, I love you so much. Later. I want to hear it September 6, 3:46 AM It's too late. Heres whats up. Today I spent most of the day with Mandie. I showed her my art homework to critique it, and she thought it looked good, which I was relieved with. Next, we walked around downtown to see what was up, but found that most of the places were closed for Labor Day. We did find the Abercrombie for Becki though. Afterwards we came back to the appartments and played pool and air hockey in the clubhouse. Then, I took Mandie back to her dorm, and ate dinner here. Lastly, I tried to scan my art homework into a bitmap file for my art professor. My scanner is nowhere near big enough to take it all at once so it's in two parts. Too bad for him. Now I have to sleep. See you later. I had lots of fun today babe, see you around. I love you. So many games, so little time. I was suppossed to have something here, but I forgot what it was September 5, 12:45 PM Oh good God, I forgot to update yesterday. Yesterday I woke up around 1:45. Yeah, it was pretty freaking sweet. After that I got something to eat and went to work on my Art homework. I finished my drawing, but I'm going to have Mandie critique it. It looks good to me, but I'm sure she'll have some ideas on how to improve. After that I went to Wal-Mart to look for some magazines to use in my collage. I didn't find any that I liked, but I did buy some glue, cooking spray, and iced tea. I got home and ate dinner, then played Rome for a while. I went to visit Mandie around 8:45. We stayed in her dorm with Julie and watched The Hot Chick and some of Terminator when we decided to go for a walk around campus. Everywhere we went, people were walking downhill to Frat Row. Someone even almost got killed crossing the road. When we got back it was after 11, and I left soon after that. I got back to the appartment and after a while I fell asleep. Today I'm going to walk around downtown with Mandie. Hopefully we'll find some cool places. See you later, fans. I love you hun, see you soon! Remember this above all, our Roman Gods are watching, make sure they are NOT ASHAMED! Vodka D September 3, 10:03 PM Well today was the big Penn State vs. South Florida game. I went downtown to look for the Ameriserv bank to cash my check and saw that Park avenue was turned into a one way street, in order to handle all the traffic of all the people going to their retarded football game. Interesting. I found the bank but it was closed, of course. What business in its right mind would be open for three whole hours on a given day? After returning home I went right to work on my readings. I want to be able to make Labor Day as devoid of labor as possible. I read all of my psychology homework, a total of four chapters, and also started on my health homework. Tomorrow is going to be Art day, and I'm going to finish my collage and drawing. While I did my homework I got my laundry done too, and took a break to run the vacuum. After declaring the homework done for the day, I ate dinner around 7 and worked out around 8:30. I got up to 2.58 miles jogging today, and man did I feel it on the walk back home. My sister also called me needing computer help. The printer wasn't working. It turns out it had the wrong driver, and after all the hassle of deleting the wrong one and downloading and installing the new one, she discovered the cartridges were out of ink. Thats really all that happened today. See you all tomorrow. I love you so much, see you soon cupcake! Must. Buy. Games. Psychology is nothing but common sense September 2, 4:58 PM Okay, this deserves some explanation. I tried to update the blog last night but Geocities was being weird. Here's what I tried to post: Hairy Beyond Reason September 2, 2:08 AM I am writing this at the above time, but Geocities is acting weird so it probably won't get up till sometime later. Today I got to my art class way early. I saw my professor setting up, so I asked him about the supplies I got to make sure I got the right ones and that they would be satisfactory. He said the size of the paper really shouldn't matter because bigger art doesn't guarantee better grades. So I showed him the 11 x 14 inch paper I bought. "Oooh, you know, this is good but maybe you should go a little bigger..." Look pal, I just spent $80 on art crap for your course, which I need for 3 lousy gen ed credits. I'm not buying new paper. When class started we went to work on the project for the day, drawing geometic shapes, with shading. I have never done these kinds of drawings before, so my art sucks pretty bad, but I want to get better at it. Next was art history class which was...oh wait, I'm sorry. Noone gives a shit about art history. After taking the bus home I went down to the office to make sure the work order I put in was being processed. Since it's common knowledge that most places in State College are staffed by crack heads, I like to follow through with things. I met the girl at the front desk and told her what I wanted to do, and she said she would write a note for the supervisor and stick it on his door. She wanted to write everything that was wrong on this little post it note, which I knew was going to be a stretch. She fit it all on there by writing real small, and at the end of my list she told me, "You know, feel free to fix any of this stuff on your own." Excuse me asshole, this stuff was broken at move-in and it's not my fucking responsibility to fix it. I am paying you to take care of my problems, so deal with it. Stupid crack heads. Afterwards I came home and ate dinner, read the paper, and watched some TV. I don't even feel like I'm taking 18 credits. Thats all for today, see you all around. I love you hun, see you tomorrow! For Roooooome! There you have it. I'll have another update later, catch you then. |
