Thanksgiving Raindrops

2009 November 26

So I wake-up today knowing that I didn’t have to go to class :)   Then I realized, I can’t stay home all day that I must travel to Ann Arbor for Thanksgiving, my aunt stays out there.  The previous day, I already been to Ann Arbor because our Limnology class went to NOAA to hear scientists there speak.  Really interesting research, maybe I’ll discuss that some other time.  Now back to Thanksgiving.  On the way there which was a freaking 1hr 30min drive, it started raining.  The worst thing about driving out there is that the radio stations change and we got mostly static and boring stations.  When we arrived at my aunt’s house, to which I brought my camera, I took this picture first,

I don’t know what it’s called but I thought for some reason it was important enough to waste a picture on.  When someone actually answered the door to let us in, we take off our shoes, hug each other and I dip my hand into the jar of giant jellybeans.  Then my aunt asked if we wanted anything to snack on and I show her my hand and mouth full of jellybeans lol.  My aunt and grandparents are planning a cruise to the Bahamas (I think).  Anyways, no matter where it was, my mom was asked to go and she said yes.  Of course I’ll be in school so I said no.  Plus I didn’t want to go.  Too much money ($500-1000) that even though my mom said she’d pay for it, I can not conceive paying that amount of money for a 3 day trip.  Next, never been on a cruise, never care to be on one, also, not caring about Bahamas or most places in that area.  Then they called my grandparents who are in Florida, that she’s coming too.  Then my aunt said that she was going to plan a trip during the time me and my cousin can go on a cruise, a much longer trip…which I’m down for.

Next one to show up was my uncle.  He was invited on the cruise but didn’t go.  To which my aunt then called him a cheap-skate lol. While all this talking was going on, I was busy taking pictures of things I saw inside and outside the house.

Sorry to barrage  you with pictures I know…no one cares about.  My aunt went to Paris and took pictures and I took a picture of her picture and showed her, then I said, “Now I can say that I’ve been there…”  lame joke, I know, but apparently others laughed lol.  Then I put on my aunt’s husband’s glasses and even though I looked cute in them, my eyes started to hurt.  I even took a picture of myself which I was pondering on whether to post here, but it’s such a geeky looking picture that even I couldn’t bare the embarrassment.  But the glasses were definitely a preview of what I’ll get the next time I get new glasses.

Anyways, next my aunt wanted us to watch the movie Twilight….yes, Twilight.  Any who, I said no and tried to go outside to take pictures.  They got new fancy doors.  I needed help opening it.  Apparently, you just can’t unlock and open the door, now theres some square thing that the bottom of the door you have to slide first, then  you can unlock and open the door.  Geesh, all this for an area that’s safe!

So when I finally managed to get outside, all the bird and squirrels I planned on taking pictures of scrambled and the only other organisms left were plants.  Meanwhile my aunt and everybody else went upstairs to watch Twilight….yes, Twilight.  My aunt has a nice garden but this time of year everything is dead until it regenerates during the spring.

I also found the plant that I saw before I came in,

After I got bored of taking pictures I headed into the house for some nice warmth.  Then I realized they were still watching the movie so I went to go watch TV.  I watched MTV Primieres (?) or whatever that P-word was.  Anyways, the Latino Music Awards was on.  I have to say that awards show has much more interesting music acts than other award shows.  My favs were Shakira and The Veronicas.  Also I learned something is going on in Puerto Rico, some guy said something about unemployment and the governor was firing people, then all I heard was a whole lot of Spanish stuffs and then a part was beeped out.  So I’m assuming the guy just cursed.  Then he introduced Dave Navarro (?) and Tom Something (guy that made sex tape with Pamela Anderson…it twas good sex tape FYI lol).  Tom (?) made a comment about tongues which I’m sure would have led to an oral sex reference if there wasn’t a script that was given to him lol.  Later I turned the channel to watch Tyra Banks on Larry King Live which it’s always nice to see her getting interviewed for a changed.

Eventually it was time to actually eat Thanksgiving dinner.  Was sooooo good, unfortunately I only had one plate.  While watching TV I ate a shit load of candy which made my actual dinner really shorter than it should have been.  But, I ate Mac&Cheese, candy-yams, ham, rolls, some vegetarian pasta thing, and of course with a side of coke (the cola).  We stay around the table and talked about random things.  We talked about how my other aunt’s husband would have loved to been here for all this food.  But they can’t come because they’re Jehovah Witnesses.  So they don’t celebrate holidays, even though Thanksgiving is a secular holiday.  My uncle then said how he doesn’t understand their faith.  Most of us are “religion? what’s that? and who cares!” type of people lol.  Well, that just meant more food for me to take home in the doggy bag :)

I didn’t have any cake cause my tooth started hurting.  I did have ice cream in which I didn’t finish. I ran to the bathroom to grab some floss.  I know it may sound crazy but the only way I can get the pain on my tooth to easy up is by making it bleed.  The problem isn’t that food was stuck in there, it’s the fill-in that the dentist gave me and my tooth is sensitive to food.  Anyways, once the tooth stopped hurting it was time to leave.  I hugged everyone, said goodbye, and then we headed back home.

Once I got home, my friends called me wanting to go out to the movie.  Of course I said, “hell no”.  My other friend is in town since she first started college on the other side of the state.  She’s only in til tomorrow I think but I said, well…I’ll have to see you Christmas time cause there’s no way in hell I’m leaving this house lol. Now, I’m here writing this post and about to go to sleep.  I’m definitely taking advantage of this short break out of school.  I’m going to be studying tomorrow and over the weekend so that I’m prepared for various final exams.  Anyways, goodnight and I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving or a happy Thursday.  Bye :)

WTF Went Wrong And Right At The AMAs

2009 November 23

Many of you probably watched the AMAs (American Music Awards) last night but there were plenty of offenses last night that stuck out to me.  Lets start with the biggest fail of the night and that being Adam Lambert’s performance of “For Your Entertainment”.  Now I never heard the song until last night and I’m sure it sounds great on the radio, but his performance was god awful.  He shoved faces in his crotch area and kissed the keyboardist as though he’s into girls like that….or maybe that was a guy, to which would explain why he was into that.  Anyways, here’s the performance.

Next up is my two favorite entertainers, Shakira and J LO.  First, Shakira couldn’t catch a break as she arrived on the red carpet wearing the same dress J LO wore recently.  This isn’t the first time it happened as she was also wearing the same dress as Pink during the VMAs.  I demand a firing of her stylist.  Also, I wasn’t impressed by her performance.  She looked cute though, it’s not cool to be wearing stuff other celebs rocked,

Then, J Lo fell on her ass during the performance.  That’s what she get for stepping all over her dancers’ backs.  I knew, since I listened to the song off-rip, that I didn’t like the song but I thought it’d be a good performance and you know, it wasn’t that bad til she fell, but at least she got up like a pro.  Considering how big her ass is, I highly doubt she was hurt.  Here’s the video,

There there was Whitney Houston, crack really killed her voice.  I won’t even bore you with a video, just Google it.  Then Jay Z came on stage with some cornball 1990s comeback line saying “men lie, women lie but numbers don’t”, I gave that a *side eye*, supposedly a rip at 50 cent but he’s also irrelevant, so whatever.

Next, some unknown country group that Talyor Swift brought on tour beat out Lady Gaga for some award voted on by the fans, proving that Lady Gaga fans aren’t as obsessive as they appear to be, seriously, they were too “cool” to send in a text message to vote for her.  Another failure was the Timberland performance with Nelly Fortado and some girl named Soshy both of which I didn’t recognize at first.  Timberland looked exahusted after the performance and I had no idea what was going on in this song but whatever here’s the performance,

On to the things that went right.  I’m not fan of Gaga but I love her song Bad Romance.  She had a weird performance and even though I put it under weird, and overly dramatic with breaking the glass and some weird bird dance she was doing, she at least sang the song good enough,

Rihanna had a great performance, check it out, just happy she didn’t blind anyone when pointing lazers towards the audience,

Also the Jay Z/Alicia Keys song “New York” performance was good, as well as Alicia Key’s separate performance, though her background dancer looked like he was trying to battle dance with her.  Another big thing was that security around the stage must have been good.  No interruptions from Lil Mama or Kanye West…MTV could learn a thing or two about security.  The artists not in this post, I either didn’t watch or thought they did their usual thing.  Ok, now I’m for real this time, see you after Thanksgiving :)

Almost Thanksgiving

2009 November 21
by sensico

Really can’t wait til the day, that’s Thanksgiving day is you haven’t already peeped out the title of the post.  So, to recap whats going on in school…nothing, but it is getting close to the end so I’m trying to multitask and get shit done.  I have a lab notebook and a paper to do.  The paper is easy and it’s only a 3 page minimum recap of what our presentations were on in limnology.  I already started it cause I thought it was due the same time as the presentation.  My lab notebook is a struggle, not because it’s hard but because it’s so easy that I just want to leave it for the last-minute.  I’m finally get higher than zero percent on my math quizzes again.

Guys outside of campus were giving away the new anniversary edition of Darwin’s “The Origin of Species”, I wasn’t able to get one but a guy in class gave me his copy.  So now, I have some over winter break reading. Yesterday I got a strange email from a girl that’s being harassed by my old stalker.  So I spent half the time yesterday night responding to emails.  Hope she gets that taken care of cause her situation is far worse then mines, it appears.  I also twittered the night away and did some other stuff I thought I’d never do….like joining a game of online BINGO.  The game was actually fun and I won twice.

Finally talked to my grandma this morning in a long time.  I’ve been so busy with school that many people in my family and many of my (few) friends haven’t been contacted.  My grandma was fine and reminded me that I better do good and not have any babies or she’d come to Michigan and I guess whoop my ass (not her words).  My friend had so much to tell me and he noted that it’s so hard to contact me these days, then he said, he thought I was busy being out and dating….I wish!  We talked for like ever, then I got on the computer check my news feeds and other stuff.

My mom has to cook something to take over my aunt’s house for Christmas.  The church every year gives out these boxes that provide a small Thanksgiving dinner.  It includes yams, beans, corn for 8, two turkeys, biscuits, cranberries, cornbread, lemon cakes for 8, and a ham…all in this tiny box.  Anyways, the biscuits are good and we’re eating it before Thanksgiving since we really don’t need all of it for actual Thanksgiving day.  Really can’t wait to be with family and family friends and see what everyone is up to.  As evil as I am and as happy as I would be not having a family of my own, deep, deeeeep down inside, I really am a family person…but it’s not a life requirement for me to have my own.

Currently besides studying, I’m mainly on the web collecting music for my next car CD.  Here’s a couple of my favorites that will be on the CD and mix of old and new songs,

Sia, “You’ve Changed”

The Whitest Boy Alive, “1517″

Oh and I had a culinary success today.  I was finally able to make my oatmeal, chunky.  I like my cereal and grits (especially) to have a bit of a chunky texture.  I don’t know why I like it but I’ve been that way since I was kid.  Anyways, I also have to go to work soon.  Next time you read from me, one this blog should be after Thanksgiving unless something random and blog worthy comes up before then, toodles have a nice Thanksgiving.

“Video Game”: Mass We Pray

2009 November 20

Not much that I expose myself to the wrath of video game whores and stans, but I ask myself, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do).  I’m sure Jesus would want me to tell all of you that he had no part in creating this video game.  So I was on the youtube looking at recommended videos and “Mass We Pray” came up.  Automatically knew there was no way in hell this video game is real but apparently after doing research, many people seemed to think it was real including this chick…punk’d!!

Cute isn’t it :)   Even I don’t think the Christian right in this country would do such a thing.  Well if you go to the Mass We Pray website and click to pre-order then ZOMG!! it’s a Dante’s Inferno advertisement…wonder how many people went to the site and WANTED to buy the game :o Anyways, I’ve seen the previews for this game before and I soooo want it, but I’d probably not play it the whole way through.  I know this may sound lame but this is totally a video game my mom would love more than me…yes, she’s a very good video game player, not better than me though.  I’m more the RPG Final Fantasy type.  Anyway, the game Dante’s Inferno is on PS3, X Box and P2P and available for pre-order.  I would like to see more gameplay videos before buying any game.  Now go to hell or get yourself over to mass you gullible biotchesss,

I Should Be Doing Something More Important Right Now…

2009 November 17
by sensico

…but I only feel like writing.  I know, the blog-o-sphere and reader(s) are getting tired of me writing about random stuff so often.  It’s late, night is when I do my best thinking and my best studying.  I have a presentation due tomorrow and a math quiz which I haven’t prepared for.  I’m pretty content with my practice sessions with my presentation.  I was able to cut my time down to around 7 minutes.  Though, when I actually get in front of the class it’ll be a whole nother story (update below).  Oh, and today I had a Spanish exam.  Me and my partner both missed class on Monday and we came in this Tuesday thinking it was just a quiz we had due.  Then she starts handing out the paper that’s 4 pages and my partner looks at me with an oh shit look and whispers, “that’s an exam”.  Then I smile and say, “yeah, I’m going to fail”….as if I was happy.  Though I do think at a certain point during college, start to not care you just try and as they say, it is what it is.

Can’t wait til next week, cause it’ll be Thanksgiving…which means no school for at least two days.  Then it’ll be Christmas next…where I’ll have no one to give me gifts, by no one I mean a boyfriend.  But, my mom said she already got my gift…kind of early.  I’m sure my dad will say the car and paying my speeding ticket was my Christmas gift.  I hate shopping so this year I’m just going to head over to ThinkGeek.com and get their gifts.  My parents are gadget(y) people but not geeks.  Umm…I have a wishlist at ThinkGeek just in case anyone would consider buying the kindest girl ever a gift :) I want this mainly, Space Age Ant Habitat

I know you’re saying, why out of all the things would she want an ant farm? Well, ever since I was a little girl I always wanted an ant farm.  No one would buy one for me and it’s one of the voids that haven’t been filled yet.

One of the things I forgot to mention is how I hate to google myself.  My online name, “Sensico” brings up 37,300 links.  A little less then that main because there are other sensicos online.  Also, I can never have the domain name sensico.com cause it’s already taken :( I mainly hate googling myself cause it brings up irrelevant links.  There’s stuff from places I don’t even visit and my online enemies.  There’s stuff from BC, I’m not even on there anymore and none of the links are relevant to where I’m at now.  What about MyBlogLog….I don’t even remember what that site looks like.  As a political blogger there’s links to blogs posting rebuttals to my blog posts…who want’s to read their crap?? Also, the image search brings up funny pictures but also pictures of me and my stuff, and also gives free advertisement to other people’s crap pictures………..no offense, HA!  I wish Google could be more “nice” to me.

Um, that’s about it.  Wish me luck on my presentation (all of which was done of GoogleDocs), hope that I don’t faint.  I’m running low on money so don’t be surprised if you read an “I’m so hungry but must pay bills instead” post lol.  Oh and I’m working on that “I’m Sorry” post….takes a long time for me to half-ass apologize, but I feel I must do it for my own amusement and humanities sake.  Oh, meanwhile, while typing the last sentence I came up with an idea to write a post about things I don’t like guys to say.  Like the words, “duh” and “shucks” and “lover” and “tweedle” and…well that was about it so guess I don’t need to write a post then huh?

Update: So yeah, I felt nervous talking but apparently people said I did really good….but we’ll see.  They said I looked confident and not nervous.  I thought I was soon to faint and I was scared to pick up the pointer at one time cause I thought I’d drop it from shaking too much…and apparently the teacher loves her pointer so I didn’t want to do that!  Glad it’s over, now I can preoccupy myself with more unimportant things.

Remainders//Remainders

So this post is to just wrap up the other stuff that I didn’t blog about and would have if I got my lazy ass to the wordpress dashboard.  Shocker last week was that I saw this picture and started laughing,

sosa1

I didn’t even know who the guy was and didn’t read the article associated with the picture.  Apparently he’s “Sammy Sosa”…and apparently “not” an “alien” “creature”.  Honestly, the shocker part for me was that I thought he always looked that was and this was just an incredibly bad yet funny picture of him.  But then I found out the controversy was because he used to look decent,

see the differenceWell, he used to look relatively decent.  On to my life and not Dracula’s life.  I’m doing pretty well.  Remember, my car that I kept a secret for a while because I didn’t want to jinx it by bragging about it before I had the keys in my hand.  I have another secret, its career (job) related …oh lord, I bet some of you can already guess what the secret is.  But, it’s not official.  Anyways, it won’t be official til next year but I’m so excited.

Speaking of career stuff, I have a presentation to give in my limnology class.  The teacher said she’s not grading on whether we talk well in front of the class, which is great cause I already warned her that I’m not good at that stuff.  Though, this time it might be different because I actually like what I’m talking about.  Though if I faint in front of everyone, you readers will know about it before my mom, dad, and friends do…in fact they’ll never know about if I do.

I made this frozen pizza I got from Trader Joe’s and tried to do my own rendition of “Food In Real Life”.  I rate the look of it, 3.5 and the taste was nasty but bearable so I rate it 2.5.  Overall, it sucked and I learned my lesson.

what the pizza is supposed to look likeAnd how it turned out

The right side of my brain (or head) hurts.  It’s been like that for a while now.  I’m becoming extremely forgetful and its so frustrating.  The right side of the brain is for; feeling, artistic expression, religion, philosophy, images, patterns.  Basically everything I use most.  The left side of the brain is the logical, mathematical, verbal, strategic side.  Maybe my head is trying to tell me that I’m using one side more than the other.  The brain is a muscle that needs to be “worked” in order to maintain it’s strength.  I’ll be working on that this week.

guess...I was forced to watch the movie 2012.  So, since I wasn’t paying for it, I went.  Also wasn’t paying for the pizza, raisinettes and small mountain dew that I got lol.  The movie was basically about validating the Mayan calendar that the world will end in 2012.  Really good movie and glad I saw it.  I definitely recommend it.  The movie reminded me of one of my other favorite movies, “The Core“.  Lets just hope I’m rich and important enough to get on the arc in 2012 when the world ends.  The movie actually almost made me cry plenty of times…I hate when that happens.

For anyone who cares and on FB, I finally posted a moving video of me, there’s no sound because you’d have to pay to hear me sing “Like A Virgin” by Madonna.  And I could only show 9 seconds of it because I was naked and there wasn’t a long enough clip I could make that didn’t have cleavage in it lol.

Oh and, I forgot what else I wanted to say.  Ooooh, I’m writing a half-hearted “I’m Sorry” post soon to my online and offline people, so if you think I did anything wrong then let me know and I’ll formally give you a half-ass apology.  That’s pretty much it.  By, it’s late and I must rest the right side of my brain.  Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable week.

Edit: Oh ok, this is something I meant to add to this post.  Moreso for my amusement only, but I was thinking I might have actually liked the Donkey Kong game if it was like this

11.9.2009//Officially Selfish

2009 November 13
by sensico

Wake up, and it’s a beautiful morning, normally it’d be snowing around this time, we in Michigan are living the near tropic life lol.  I turn on the news, do 20 sit-ups, do my hair, eat cereal, get dressed. I’m feeling fabulous as I walk to my car, even though I know I’m going to fail my math exam.  I missed Spanish the previous Thursday so I didn’t want to miss class this day.  Got there early to study for math.

I don’t know why, but my usual partner in that class sits next to me, but this girl in the class usually “takes” “his” seat.  Technically not his seat, but usually by this time we have, “seats”.  I guess I just like order and familiarity, plus my Spanish “partner” is adorable and funny, and he’s hardly that functional in the morning, I find it interesting to talk to him during this time.  And the girls that sits next to me, only started being nice to me once she found out I was an only child, I guess she feels sorry for me and understands my awkwardness and need to not have long conversations with people lol.  She also irritates me, not her personality (because we hardly talk to each other), but she smells a little.  Today, she like moved really quickly and the smell almost caused me to suffocate.  Don’t know if I mentioned it but I’m rather sensitive to smells and even if she was just wearing perfume, it completely irritates me.

Anyways, on the drama.  So we’re in Spanish, the teacher walk in and says she’s not feeling good so she goes to the restroom.  We’re all sitting there talking about random stuff then someone says, “omg, the teacher”.  We look and she’s outside the door, on the ground, face plant style.  She was just laying there and not moving.  I kind of stay put while others rush to get her help and the rest of us were deciding if we should call campus police to send help or something.  The teacher got up and she said she didn’t know what happened.  Then we told her, she fell on the floor a few seconds ago.  Then someone suggested she go home and she said she would.

Normally, I’m supposed to feel a widdle sad and scared over her blackout, but just like the teacher said right after everyone was still freaking out, “she’s not a drama queen” and neither am I.  She’s not hurt so I felt like doing laps around the hall when she said class would end early.  I feel bad though…it’s kind of selfish of me, but I got extra time to study for my math exam :D

She said it probably all happened because her blood sugar might be low.  During the little time we were in class, she did briefly go over our homework for the next day.  I’m just in class, half-happy and half-staring at her with my “observing closely/Are you ok?” look.

Since we got out early I studied for the examen.  When taking the exam I realized it wasn’t that bad.  I think I might have gotten at least 50% lol (update below) I finished early and I knew what I was in for when I was the first to turn in my exam…  My professor says, “Ooh, buttayou have lottah thime.  You don wannath double checkah, your, ansers!”. [I'm fully aware my typed out Asian accent is racist, but who cares...so what! (Joy Behar voice)].  I look back at the class, where some of the people are smiling, probably happy someone else was dumbass enough to turn in their paper first.  Then I look at the clock as if I care how much time I still have left to take the exam.  Then I look at the teacher and say, “but I can’t figure out anything else to put…uhhh…”.  Then he say, “well ok…”.  Then I say, “ok” and slightly shove the test into his small old person hands.

Then, I did 90mph down the freeway while eating my sandwich with Black-forest ham and mustard on the way home.  I love when people think I’m going to be some slow ass just because I’m eating a sandwich while driving.  I also love how I apparently weird people out and appear unapproachable.  Others may hate that they garner that response, but I love watching how people interact and act.  In my first life I was probably a sociologist lol.  Guy was about to approach my car and try to hit on me, but once I started blasting my satanic electro-rock(?) song,

He like started walking away lol.  He wore baggy jeans, braids and stuff, not the type of guys I even bother talking to.  Then this day at Subway, the guy in line kept looking at me.  Completely not my type so I acted like he didn’t exist and sort of gave him, the “could you move your ass out of line” look.  After he paid, he was taking too long to pack up his stuff so the line could keep moving.  Anyways, that was my day, toodles :)

update: got little less then 50% but I’m improving!

You know that feeling you get when you fall backwards into the lake, or snow, or a pile of leaves.  It’s very fun, the feeling I guess could be described as carefree, relief, and innocence.  That’s how I felt on this day.  It was a beautiful day and of course I took my camera along with me.  First I wokeS6301858S6301857 up and washed, did my hair, ate oatmeal.  Knowing I only had one class and no work was great.  I got up early that day though.  The weather here has been unusual, it’s November and there’s no sign of snow and there were weather reports warning people of snow and no snow showed up.  I would like to thank the global warming gods for favoring Michigan in all of this.  So, with me getting up early I decided to wake-up my cat.  Usually he’s up before me and wasn’t particularly chirpy when taking his picture.

It was a nice day but it rained the night before.  Here’s the view, from my car and on my way to school.  Of course, no one stalk me if you know the location of where these pictures were taken.

S6301831or this one?

When I got to school…I got there early so I took a walk to the student center to get money out of the atm and then I hung out, outside taking these pictures of one part of campus read more…

11.4.09//I’m Backsies

The last trip we had in our biology class was to the waste water treatment facility.  It was, weird and it sucked because we had an exam that same day for that same class.  When we go there we were given a run through of the facility.  Like the different treatments and steps it takes to get the water clean.  The facility is goes up to tertiary treatment with UV, that means it’s the water good enough for drinking.  Some facilities go up to secondary treatment and that water is only used and good for irrigation purposes.

Our class broke into two groups and I was stuck with the crazy tour guide.  He had a heavy Indian-German (or maybe Indian-French) accent.  We could hardly hear him amongst the loud machines.  At one point he said something and then out of nowhere broke into a laugh.  Guess you had to be there, but it was a loud screeching cackle type of laugh.  Took all of us off guard that someone almost fell back.

We started our long journey at the basement of the facility.  It looked like something out of an action movie where you have the movie star running down a dark, dank corridor with little light.  There were so many ways to get lost, glad we had a tour guide!  The stairs were also steep, almost lost my hard-hat twice trying to go up the stairs while trying not to fall.  During the tour, instead of listening to the guide, some of us talked about the upcoming exam and how we weren’t ready.

I’m extremely sensitive to smells and started to get nauseous and a headache.  Then when we got to the infernal (?) room, where the organic matter or whatever from the water is incinerated at 500 degrees.    Then we went outside where there were giant in ground tanks.  We went to a tank full of shit, or brown liquid stuff.  Then we stood over a tank that had a little water but if one of us dropped, we’d fall 50 feet(?).  I love heights so of course I was leaning and looking over the rails, while making sure my hat doesn’t fall in.  After all that, we thought we were finished and started to take our hats off, but we weren’t done.  We went to the smelliest room of them all…forgot what it was called but a machine was literally grinding pieces of shit…or maybe it was brown solid stuff of the same texture.  The weird part is that when we first walked in, the smell was worse by the door then when we went by the machine.  Either way I was ready to faint and suffocate myself.  Then, whilst in that room, this girl that likes to ask a shit load of questions decided to ask more.  So we’re all ready to faint while the tour guide and her have a lovely conversation about the processes that go on when breaking down the shit (or brown stuff of that same texture).

After that we went to the lab where the water sampling was done.  The guy gave us a boring lecture on how it’s done.  Then he wanted to show us how to do water samples.  Then, he couldn’t find the stuff to do the samples, so know he’s wasting time looking for the material.  We’re like, seriously dude, we’ve done this before and don’t need to see you do it.  After that, we took our hats off again thinking we were done with the damn tour but then we had to go outside to see the UV treatment :roll:   When the guy told us we had one more building to go to I said, “Are you serious?!”.  People were laughing, but I was serious.  Then me and my friends started laughing about how this is the longest tour in history.  After the tour another guy talked to the whole class about stuff.  Then we went back to school and then I went home…but not before stopping by Jimmy John’s for a sandwich.  And so begins the story of why I haven’t been, active online or blogging as usual.

When I got home, I tried to study and it was hard.  The tour completely tired me out and the smells gave me a slight headache.  On top of that, I still have four more lectures to study for.  On top of that the schools website said I couldn’t register for a class I clearly should be able to register for (eventually the next day I could register, apparently something was wrong with the system).  Then, on top of that people were asking me/reminding me to do stuff.  Then on top of that, I forgot someone’s birthday.  I don’t put a huge emphasis on birthdays, at one point in my life someone had to remind me of my birthday, but apparently this person puts an emphasis on his birthday and then I felt bad, and I still do.

I deal with pressure fairly well but I don’t deal with being overwhelmed very well.  The difference being that at least under pressure you’re (or maybe just I) are dealing with one task.  Being overwhelmed for me usually deals with more than one tasks, all of which are totally unrelated, that has to be done in one or two days.  So, as always when I’m overwhelmed to the max, I have slight breakdown get back to basics.  Basics for me, is a life without online-socialness.  It even meant not blogging.  Of course I was online and could have written a quick post, but that’s still isn’t basic enough.  Basics is essentially only being online for school purposes (of course I also couldn’t let Google Reader unread sites pile up either).  Also, I had little communication aside from people from school.  I even turned on the TV after 3 months…the true story is that last month I turned on the TV and it was all static so I didn’t feel like figuring out what the problem was and left the TV off lol I’m so lazy.

The next day after the exam and everything was done, I was completely back to normal.  Slowly starting to think I’m some weirdo bipolar freak of nature.  Anyways, slightly enjoying the life offline, and knowing I had more stressful overwhelming days ahead, I stayed offline and I actually planned on staying away for month, but that’s not all that possible for me.  But I have pictures, soon to see in upcoming posts.  Getting back to basics, going through life with little purpose or cause to support is how I best live life.  Now that I’m back, I’ll be back to blogging.  I have other days to blog about…so my next posts will be like playing catchup.  Oh, and here’s a music video for you,
