Um, seriously? August is OVER? I... don't understand. How did this happen? WHEN did this happen?
Well, guys, apparently tonight is the LAST NIGHT OF BEDAugust 2010! I'm... shocked. I can't believe I did so well this year. I didn't miss a SINGLE DAY. And I brought in two new BEDA-ers! I'd say this year was a success :)
I just finished season four of Bones. And... HOLY FREAKING CROW!!!! WHAT THE HECK??? AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I won't say anything, because I don't want to spoil anyone, but HOLY CLIFF HANGER, BATMAN!
Oh, and that last episode? SO GOOD.
Anyway, I have a chapter I need to read for Theatre 101 (as a former Theatre major, I have a feeling this class is going to be RIDICULOUSLY easy) and then I should probably get to bed. Don't worry, though. This isn't the last you'll hear from me. I plan to continue blogging pretty regularly, both here and over at the MJ ning :)
Until (insert day here), best wishes!

Eeeek!
I see that my titles are getting progressively stupider, but it's because I CAN'T BELIEVE BEDA IS ALMOST OVER.
Today was crazy busy (but awesome!), so I didn't have a chance to catch up on everybody's blogs and respond to comments, but I WILL get to it! Tomorrow I only have two classes, one of which is an Institute class, so I'll have MUCH more opportunity to catch up on everything. Still, though, this whole week is BUSY.
I'm really excited for this semester. It's going to be GREAT. I can FEEL it. I feel really good, and my classes seem like they're going to be pretty awesome, so I'm happy. Oh, and my job is so much FUN! We have a Black and White Dance coming up next week, and I'm really excited to get everything set up and to do all the decorations and stuff. I'm a little worried that the music is going to be, ummm, raunchy, but hopefully it won't be TOO bad. I just remember going to prom and thinking, "What the CRAP is this stuff coming out of the speakers?" and I have a feeling this isn't going to be very different, but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong*.
Anyway, today was really good because, for the first time, I SERIOUSLY considered going to Grad School. I always figured I would teach right away and then go back and get my Master's in a few years or something, but seeing all these grad students working for Residence Life and having such a good time kinda inspired me. I had a really good talk with one of my Institute teachers this morning when I went to register, and talking with him gave me a really good feeling about grad school. So... I think I'm gonna do it. I mean, I still need to do some research and figure things out, but... yeah. I'm almost certain that this is the path I should take. I'm not even worried about the fact that this means I probably won't get married until I'm like 25 because the options are so limited in Flagstaff. (Assuming I decide to stay in Flag, which isn't a guarantee.) I'm just happy about the prospect of continuing into a graduate program. Which is weird, because only a month ago I was ready to drop my Education degree and just do English and get out of school as soon as possible. So... yeah. Kind of a 180 for me, but I'm happy.
WELL, I don't have much else to say tonight. I think I'm going to keep blogging even when BEDA is over, though. Anyone else with me?
Until tomorrow, then, best wishes!

ACK!
Holy cow. SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. And BEDA IS ALMOST OVER. This is SO WEIRD.
Tomorrow is going to be a BUSY day.
9:10 - Theatre 101 (for a liberal studies credit that I still need)
10:20 - Register for Institute classes (religious classes like)
11:30 - American Literature from Colonial to 1865
Lunch? Hopefully?
1:00-5:00 - Work
Dinner
7:00 - Teaching Theatre Class
Yeah. My Mondays are always going to look like that. EXCEPT... starting on the 13th, I will have COOKING CLASS in that 10:20 slot each week. YAY! :D I took this class last semester and it was AWESOME. We made delicious food every time and all the recipes that we got were awesome! I'm so excited to take it again. It's gonna be excellent.
ANYWAY, it's getting late and I need to be well-rested for my return to the world of academia.
Until tomorrow, best wishes!

Harry Potter Cookies
So, my friend Vicki is making a BUNCH of sugar cookies to give to her residents at tomorrow's floor meeting. And I just HAPPEN to have Harry Potter cookie cutters. SOOO...
TA DA!
Aren't they AWESOME*? And luckily I had some multi-color sprinkles, so they SPARKLE. Or do they twinkle? Hmm... :)
You guys, I know you understand, but I feel like I just have to say: I LOVE HARRY POTTER. Like, seriously. I don't think people understand what it's like, really. I mean, sure, lots of people love Harry Potter. It was a worldwide phenomenon and whatnot. But I don't think they REALLY get it when I say that I love Harry Potter. I literally think my life would be majorly different if it weren't for Harry Potter, and that's not true for a lot of people who love Harry Potter.
Okay, I feel like I'm rambling. This is getting to be a boring blog, isn't it? *sigh* Sorry. It's late and I'm kinda tired, so I think that's why I'm being all wordy right now.
Sooo, until tomorrow, best wishes!
*I know the picture quality is bad, but trust me, the cookies are AWESOME.

I Want El Pollo Loco
Seriously, KFC is okay, but it's nowhere NEAR as good as El Pollo Loco. And I'm not just saying that because they give you the little tortillas.
I was kinda sick today. Nothing major, I was mostly just felling the effects of yesterday's allergy attack. Still, though, I didn't really feel like eating much. Until I got a serious craving for chicken. I wanted El Pollo Loco so badly, but since there isn't one anywhere near campus (and possibly nowhere in Flagstaff), I decided I would just go to KFC and order the grilled chicken. I didn't even want any sides, really, just the chicken. WELL, I went and asked about getting a 3 piece breast & thigh with no sides, and it was only like $1.50 less than the meal, so I got the meal and I got mashed potatoes because I thought they sounded pretty good and it couldn't hurt. I drove home, grabbed a cup of applesauce, turned on Bones, and, SUPER hungry at this point, pulled open my box of chicken... and cursed*. It was fried chicken. Breaded and fried. *SIGH*
I ate the chicken anyway, and it was okay, but since I was kinda sick I really just wanted the plain chicken. So I wasn't quite as satisfied and I hoped to be. I think I'll search for an El Pollo Loco in Flagstaff and, if there is one, I'll go there tomorrow for lunch. YUM.
Anyway, tonight was SUPER FUN. Every year as part of our Move-In Weekend activities we have a hypnotist show. I had never been before, which is CRAZY because I am a SENIOR and it is a BIG DEAL each year. But this year it was part of my job to help run things at the show, so I went and I helped and I had a BLAST. It was actually two shows in a row this year because it is SO POPULAR. And it was hilarious. The guy does mass hypnotism, so he had like forty or so people on stage and he would say things like, "Your right shoe is the cutest puppy in the world" and they would all pet and kiss their right shoe. It was excellent. SO FUNNY. I don't ever want to do that, though. I know you wouldn't do anything that would break your own set of morals or anything, but I don't think I would like to lose all my inhibitions like that. Still, though, it was really fun to watch :)
Until tomorrow, then, best wishes!
*Okay, that's a lie. I don't curse. But I was pretty annoyed.

Exhausted
Today was a LONG day.
This morning I got up and cleaned my room. I wasn't sure when my roommate was going to move in, but today was the first day she could, so I wanted the room to be clean when she got here.
Then I had to go down to south campus to help direct traffic at one of the huge/confusing dorms because today was the beginning of move-in weekend. It was horrible. We were outside in the heat for four hours in the middle of the day. We had one of those canopy/tent things, but after 1:00 it was hard to get shade. And on top of that, we were right next to a bunch of dirt and weeds. I have MAJOR allergies. This was not a good combo. My eyes were swelling and itchy and I had that feeling of exhaustion you get when you're in the sun too long. I got home and all but collapsed. It REALLY drained me.
So then I watched Bones and talked to some friends who moved in today. Then I got a call from my friend Katie who said we were supposed to go pick up the sound system and take it back to the CDC at 7:30. This was news to me, but I dragged myself out of my room and went to get it with her. That thing is so AWKWARD and HEAVY. It was not fun to carry. But we managed, and then when I got back to my room I watched more Bones.
And now I am going to SLEEP.
Good night.

Oh, D-Bore
David Boreanaz. He is awesome. I do <3 him oh-so-much.
As you might guess, I'm watching Bones right now. I'm kinda distracted. Sorry.
This show is so good.
You know what else is good? Dora Fruit Snacks. YUM.
Also, Scooby-Doo! Baked Graham Cracker Sticks. Apparently they're a good source of calcium. And they're shaped like bones. Get it? Lol.
Okay, clearly I'm too distracted to blog. I'll have to do better tomorrow.
