Science Center

Today I'm at the Science Center, in fact that is where I am currently. Its fun taking my little sibs through the exhibits and seeing how excited they are about the same shows I saw when I was there ages. Its funny how they still have the same exhibits and shows as they did so many years ago. They now have the world's largest electric and accoustic guitars. I'd post pics but these comps aren't set up in a way that woud enable me to do so. Anyways, if you're interested, you can probably look it up online.

Also, my cousins are coming over tonight and will be spending a couple of days with us. Tomorrow we'll be taking them to Belle Square to go shopping. I have been doing soooo many mall trips lately.

Shoes, shoes, shoes and more SHOES!

Isn't this like the coolest shoe ever?!!! They are totally punk. I went shopping this weekend and found them and couldn't resist, I bought yet another pair of shoes. There's got to be some kind of psychological name for people who buy more shoes than they could ever need...
Other than shopping, I didn't do a whole ton this weekend. However, I went to the mall 3 times over the course of the weekend so it isn't like I stayed home and did nothing... I only bought a pair of these shoes though, I don't tend to spend very much money as I am trying to save for college.

No Time

I have no time to write a long post, but I found this quote and loved it so I had to post it.

:) Have a nice weekend!

Almost the Weekend

This has been a crazy week! Snow, tests, tons of papers.... I'm really looking forward to the weekend. The awesome thing is, I have nothing planned this weekend, I'm completely FREE! I'm hoping to make some progress in my reading. I finished Pride and Prejudice on Tuesday and I started Sense and Sensability. So far, I like Pride and Prejudice better. Though, I was surprised that Sense and Sensability so far has been a far bit different than the movie (I've seen the movie a few times....).
Tomorrow I have a test in psychology. Psychology is the most confusing class I've taken yet. I'm horrible with Science because I'm a very visual person. I can't see how the parts of the brain work so its hard for me to understand and remember that type of stuff for a test.

Wednesday

The snow has started to melt... I heard we might get more tonight though. My teachers are pushing back tests and papers which is really nice. Since I was already writing the papers, I'm a little ahead in English class now which is always nice.
It's crazy how fast January is passing. We're already half way through it and it feels like it just started. I think the snow has messed up my concept of time... I haven't done much this month besides homework, I'm hoping that I'll have a little more time to do other stuff next month.

More Snow!

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in forever but things have been, well crazy to put it lightly. We got 6 inches of snow on Thursday so the college was closed. It was still snowy and icey on Friday so the college was again, closed. It finally started to get a little better, the snow started melting etc. Then, early this morning, it started snowing again. So far we have 2ish inches but its still coming down! Unfortunately the moron in charge of school closures here at BCC decided that the roads were okay and that classes would be held. The teachers and students apparently didn't agree... I'm here at BCC and hardly any teachers OR students have shown up. My first teacher was a no show and I'm expecting my second to be as well... I'm ticked, if the teachers aren't going to show they should close the campus. It's stupid that we students have to fight the traffic and the ice when the teachers are putting no effort into coming.

The Internet's Back!

For some reason the computers here at school were having issues the last couple of times I've tried to blog. Hopefully there won't be any more problems...
The first couple weeks of school have gone quite well. I've been extremely busy with homework though... My english class has a paper due almost every day plus reading assignments. Guitar class is better this quarter. There are only 12 or so people in the class so it doesn't take forever for Mark to show us something new. We are currently working on "Hey Jude" and hopefully next week or something we'll start "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zepplin.

Lazy Sunday

Since its Sunday, I've decided to do nothing of importance today... I've been relaxing, cleaned my room, listened to music, and read. This year, I'm trying to not do much work on Sunday. I used to use Sundays to catch up on homework etc. but by the end of last quarter I was totally worn out.
I'm currently reading part 2 of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice and have been enjoying it immensely. I love all the horrid proposals of marriage that the men make in Jane Austin's books. Darcy's proposal is probably the worst though Mr Collins is a close second. Mr. Elton's proposal in Emma was pretty bad too.
My classes at college are keeping me quite busy. I'm taking 17 credits this quarter, 4 classes. My favorite class is by far guitar. But then, what class can beat guitar class even if I picked classes entirely accoring to how interesting they sounded? I'm hoping to take the History of Rock-n-Roll class next quarter, we'll see...

Back in Black

School has started up again and so has the rain... All my classes have been going great, but let me tell you peoples about my crazy New Years.
My parents decided that we would go to our cousins house for New Years Eve to celebrate with them. They live in Spokane, which for you outa staters is about 5-6 hours from Seattle. We had a great time hanging out with our cousins but we had to leave on the 1st because I started classes on the 2nd and Matt flew back to Japan on the 3rd. So we left before noon on the 1st. However, after we had been on the road for about an hour, our van broke down. So, my uncle came and helped us get the van to a mechanic, unfortunately, being New Years, no mechanics were open... Being me, I freaked out. I've never missed a day of class ever and I didn't plan on ever missing one. Anyways, once we sorted things out, Matt and I rode a grey Hound buss all the way back to Seattle. Arriving around midnight. So, after sorting through stuff and packing my backpack, I managed to get 4 hours of sleep before leaving for classes at 6:45. Many thanks to Justin, who kindly gave me a ride so freakishly early in the morning.
