Waiting

I'm waiting for my psychology class to start. Not that we're doing anything important right now; watching a movie. Supersize Me, to be exact. I'm not totally sure why we're watching a movie about McDonalds making people fat relates to psychology, but whatever.

Macbooks are EVERYWHERE. This campus loves apple products. They've even got an apple store attached to the bookstore. They totally ignore anything Windows or Linux-related. It's great fun. Oh well.

Class was supposed to start 6 minutes ago. The prof isn't even here yet. xD

On another note, I just switched browsers to Google Chrome. Like within the last 5 minutes. I kinda like it.

oh, the teacher showed up. Better disappear and actually pay attention.

Well this is odd.....

I want to clean.
I want to do homework.
I want to study.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

mais j’étudierai ici. Vous étés heureuse, no? dans ma classe de français, nous apprenons les différences de passe compose et impératif. c'est très facile mais amusant parce-que je l'ai appris en lycée.

huh... I wrote that with no issues, but when I go back to read it, I have to think. Strange.

Best Song Ever Created

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all

The world Thy Hand hath made,

I see the stars,

I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout

The universe displayed;

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze;

Refrain:

And when I think,

That God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die,

I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross,

My burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died

To take away my sin.

Refrain:

When Christ shall come,

With shouts of acclamation,

And take me home,

What joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow

In humble adoration

And there proclaim,

"My God, how great Thou art!"

Welcome Back to Flagstaff

NEED OXYGEN!!
There isn't enough of it up here. That bothers me so much. Makes it hard for me to do anything.
There aren't enough friends up here, either. that makes me sad. I need huggles.
On the bright side, this chai tea is the best thing ever.

And the Psalms are absolutely beautiful and magnificent.

I need sleep. please? I kept waking up like every 10 or 15 minutes all night long. two reasons for this. moping, and worrying.

I don't understand how girls can wear nothing except leggings as pants. DOES NOT WORK.  Under a skirt, shorts, or pants to help stay warm I understand, but leggings as pants... not a fan.

Opera

This morning was filled with the arias and melodies which make up Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica.
They are two of Puccini's operas. And I have two weeks to master both of them.  Here are the synopsis of both, as well as the performance

Gianni Schicchi synopsis Gianni Schicchi performance
Suor Angelica synopsis Suor Angelica performance

Before you ask, I can not sing opera. I can sing songs in tune, but opera is waaaay beyond my capabilities.  I'll be playing the first violin part, which is challenging in itself.  So, off I go into the music room to practice until my fingers bleed.

Birthday tomorrow! As well as the first violin lesson I've had for quite a few months. I really should print out my music and start practicing. I've got two operas to learn, as well as solo parts. No idea why I'm still online. Oh yea, Burn Notice is playing. OK, fine. I'm going. Quit nagging.

A Short, Punny, Conversation

Nick: I'm Hungary by the way
Maybe I should check the fridge...

Me: I'm turkey. Nice to meet you

Nick: Be careful or I might gobble you up
 That was terrible no more puns

Sore Throat

<introduction Princess Bride Scene>
Coughing is an annoyance. Where's my mint tea? oh yea, it's at my dorm.
Anyway, I'm back at the mothership. It's nice not having to pay for stuff.  Speaking of stuff, I should get a couple Christmas presents. Not that I usually do, but- OH! I NEED TO PICK UP MY GLASSES! I totally forgot about that. Oops.
Sorry. I kinda spaced off there, and that was the result. My train of thought like jumping rails.
ALSO: ..... Totally forgot what I was going to say. Great.
This is the part where the annoying sister comes in and asks what you're typing.
I need water. Hey, sister reading this over my shoulder, would you grab my cup? It's at the kitchen table.
Sister so nice...... And scary. Absolutely terrifying.
The intro to this song is great <3
I know you're not curious at all, but here are some of my favorite songs:
Diesel Not Petrol - Sukh Knight
Still Doll - Kanon Wakeshima
Mad World - Gary Jules <3 <3 <3
Like a Song - Lenka
Boats and Birds - Gregory and the Hawk

Procrastination

Thus begins finals week. With an xbox, and Bioshock.
My friend brought up her xbox, and all night last night into this morning I was playing Bioshock, Team Fortress and learning how to work an xbox controller. Being a PC gamer, I've never had to learn how to work with one of those before, but now I can work one with relative ease. The controller still feels weird though, what with the lack of the WASD keys and the left and right mouse buttons.

Now for something completely different:

I made Christmas presents for my roommates yesterday. As they don't even know this blog exists, I'm free to tell ALL the internets what I made.  Sugar scrub.  yea, it's girly, but they'll appreciate it.  Rather cheep and easy to make, too. Mix equal parts brown and white sugar, stir in olive oil until you get the consistency you want, then, if you feel like it, add some vanilla extract.  Super cheep, great gift.  I made some for myself as well, so I'll take a shower tonight and see how it works.

Why am I awake?

Seriously. I have class at 7:40am tomorrow morning. It is 12:46am. Why am I up?
