I just ordered 61 pictures and it only cost me $11. If only I could buy the rest of my scrapbooking supplies in bulk. Guess that's what a job is for.

The song Ridin' came on yesterday and suddenly I got real College Station-sick. Go figure. Also, last night I came to the startling realization that I kinda miss high school English. Dumb.

P.S. There's a Tom Petty concert here on August 4th and guess who's going! :)

Grey's Anatomy - where have you been all my life!?

Best 24 hours of my life? Probably.
- Got an A on a test that I seriously thought I failed.
- Found out that I don't need braces, just a good speech therapist (haha, I'm cool).
- Weighed in after only 3 days on Weight Watchers to discover that I'd lost 3.4lbs.
- Watched the Mavs win their third straight game against the Spurs! 3-1 kids, 3-1!

I just spent $37 on gas! Geez, it's a good thing I haven't spent any of the money that I've earned over the past 19 years because now I need all of it to fuel my vehicle!

I've been away from College Station for about 27 hours and I can safely say that the novelty of being at home wore off about 2 hours ago and now I'm ready to go back. What did I do here for 15 years? Things should get better once I start school and start working and once the pool warms up, but right now all there is to do is watch TV and look up Weight Watchers recipes. Tomorrow's America's Next Top Model marathon is shaping up to be the highlight of my weekend.

Hey, Weight Watchers - I'm BAAAAACK! :)

The ride home scared the color out of Philippe, but now he's back in his bowl and a mediocre shade of lavender/white.

Who is this girl and why isn't she at A&M instead of her 20 pound heavier twin? Blah.

The good news is, I'm starting Weight Watchers in 4 days. Thank GOD!

I checked my email moments ago and I had 11 new messages! And hidden among College of Architecture spam, LSF spam, and regular old spam was one lone message that was worth reading. Great.

Why is everyone getting sick with finals looming on our academic horizons? Of course, I mean "everyone" in the most narcissistic sense - Sarah and myself. And by "sick" I mean allergies easily quelled by unhealthy doses of Sudafed, Excedrin, and Pepto Bismol, but still. WTF?

Why can't I be here instead of in my dorm room in College Station? Oh, that's right, I'm broke.

This is:
a) An office building
b) An apartment complex
c) A convent
d) An eye-sore

Technically, the correct answer is C, but you'll get credit for D as well.
We learned about Convent of La Tourette in the lecture class that I didn't have to go to today and I think it is hideous. Why in the world would anyone put concrete "flowers" (Le Corbusier BS for "walls") in front of windows? Why would you design a church that looks like a bunker? Does this even look like a monestary to anyone? GROSS. The video that we watched about it made me angry because this building just sucks SO BAD.

I hate Burger King, but this commercial cracked me up.

Boo! Hiss!

I don't care to study for my yoga final right now. Yuck. Two finals down, three more to go. I can't say that I'm all that excited about summer because, really? Three and a half months in Slake? A summer of physics, pretension, repression, and nannying without Chicken Oil, Langford, Scot, or A&M friends? EWW! I'm not even done with this semester yet and I am already looking forward to the fall. And allow me to reiterate - I am SO GLAD that I'll be returning as an ENDS major and not some goofy, bored, pre-law POLS major.

Scot dared me to eat one of my Peeps yesterday and I was all "Dude, no problem! When I was younger I ate Peeps all the time! Peeps aren't that bad!" until I stuck one in my mouth and promptly started gagging. Peeps are nasty! Avoid them.

I registered for summer physics today. I'm getting it over with in 1 month and my grade won't matter, as long as it is a passing one, and that makes me feel good! It's physics though, and that makes me feel BAD.

Why am I still awake? Oh yeah, because I'm an ENDS major and it's finals time, which means I'm in the process of making a portfolio-worthy house model. Y'all, don't ever spend four hours making stairs for your house models because I PROMISE YOU, they will end up not working with the rest of your design and you will have to spend 4 more hours making a more narrow set. On second thought, just avoid second floors altogether. Second floors and curved walls.

My aunt gave me her Weight Watchers Points books and Points calculator! Within two minutes I'd already looked up Chick-Fil-A food, smoothies, and turkey sandwiches and I'd calculated the Points in Teddy Grahams, angel food cake, reduced fat creme pies, and Peeps. Mmm! I can't wait until my Weight Watchers summer!

Oh yeah, how come no one told me that the iPod Mini is out-dated and old school? My brother described my "black and white, 30 shades of grey, 5M" Mini while brandishing his 30M, color LCD, video iPod. Whatever, my iPod still plays my music and it's still pink so I have absolutely no reason to complain.

Some neat stuff that happened on my birthdate (from Wikipedia):

I am so into my boyfriend! And Anna Nalick and graphic design. But mostly Scot. I like him a lot :).

I am not very good at taking pictures for my portfolio. Now I will probably never get into grad school, or worse, Pixar. Melodramatic, I know.

I now own the best movie in the world. I would have posted a picture of it to gloat, but unfortunately, my digital camera uses batteries like they are going out of style and I'm sick of throwing dead batteries away when they've only been used twice. I kid you not, the monster has completely drained 4 batteries in less than a week. Maybe that's why my portfolio pictures suck so bad...Anyway, I have the Beauty and the Beast Special Edition DVD now and you don't because you probably didn't think to buy it in 2002 when Disney re-released it and there's no way you were going to spend $50 to get a rare copy on Amazon.com. There's a good chance that my eBay edition is pirated and/or old but what's it to me? I paid a mere $10 for 5 different versions of the same movie and like all good Disney productions, it'll keep me out of everyone's hair for an hour and a half and content until it's re-re-released in 6 years.

Also, if you ever need to moisturize with the greatest smelling lotion ever produced, come knock on my door because I have some. My bottle is a sample size though so if my offer is abused I'll expect compensation (plus interest) in the form of a full-sized counterpart. That'll cost you $8 and $8 for even the best smelling lotion in the world is absolutely outrageous.
