i hate this class
i really couldnt' care less about my midterm tomorrow. i would like to just not show up, but we all know i am not that kind of girl.
but i am still so unprepared and it is 10:30 PM. things are not looking up and i couldn't care less.

i wonder where my extra blue book is. i could use it. otherwise i will have to go to school early and buy one.

the only good news is that it is friday tomorrow, i am going to see obama, and hopefully alex.

i am stressed out already by the fact that i have things planned out this weekend. places to be at certain times. things i want to do but for some reason i get so stressed out by knowing that i can't just be free and do nothing.

My birthday is over, I am 22 years old now!
It was a good birthday.
Thanks to Alex for meeting the family :-) a scary thing but it went well, aside from my dog who wanted to attack and defend my honor haha.

Merry Christmas to one and to all!

i'm sick! bad timing.

i am cold but have a fever so i don't want to smother myself in blankets and drink hot things. it just drives the fever up.

the good news is, maybe half of my work is done. just finals and 2 papers (one really big one), math homework, books and books to read, bits of a math project, left to do.

wow. still sounds like a lot huh?

Well here it is. I haven't posted a schedule in so long. Because I am graduating in Spring I got special status and was able to apply for classes this morning. I woke up at 6 AM as always, though I knew I would have no problem getting into these classes. I am happy that throughout my college career, I have always been able to pretty much take the classes that I want to take. Even now, I only need 10 more credits of english, but 30 credits total, so I can fill up the rest with things I just want to learn. Which is why I am taking German. I'm taking my senior seminar in English with one of my favorite professors so far who really helped me in figuring out the best way to write papers. And then I decided to take English Syntax because people expect English majors to be anal about grammar but I really don't know very much and so I figured I should at least take one class so I could live up to the stereotype. And then Geography of the Pacific Northwest is simply a Masters in Teaching prerequisite (one geography course is required).  Yes its 18 credits, but you know what? I'm only going to be in college a little bit longer. I might as well get the most out of it I can and the most out of my money. Sure I'll probably end up getting a Masters but thats different. And so yeah, here's winter quarter.

Today this song seems the most relevant.

Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I'm looking for a sign
In this dark uneasy time

So if you have something to say
Say it to me now

And I'm not trying to pass the buck
I'm just trying to get a better look
And I'm wondering how it feels for you
Now that the shoe is on the other foot
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand

And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now

Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow

Cause I'm clearing up this wreckage Lord
And there's more than you've ever seen before

So if you have something to say
Say it to me now

some lyrics

You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you see

And some fight you gave when I pushed you away from me
And in the morning when you're turning, I'll be far to sea
You have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

And what chance had we got when you missed every shot for me
And in the morning when you're turning, I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness when you find this, I'll be far to sea

And You have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

Sound:
 all the way down- once soundtrack (glen hansard)

Last First Day of School Ever?

Originally uploaded by kelsita
I might not have another real first day of school, and Alex suggested documenting it and I thought it was a good idea. So I did!

Keeping in mind I will probably get a Master's degree and more than likely end up being a teacher someday which means many more first days of school, but you never know. I could die tomorrow! Or I could get a record deal. Or... I could get a real job doing something else.

So happy maybe last ever first day of school to me!

a song that sums up who i am right now
I have a hard hearted island
Where I live alone
I've seen my love grow big as a mountain
And scatter like ashes and bones
These things I have forgotten
Memory I've left behind
Something was always drifting away
So I'll stay
It may be the night it might be the morning
Never again will I weep
I've got the wind blowing beside me
And the water to sing me to sleep
That sky can do my crying
Seasons can have my goodbyes
The city can keep all its history
And leave me
I have been beat I'm not defeated
Not bitter not bound and not meek
When disappointed is a slow burning fire
Let it drown under the sound of my feet

bumbershoot
i want to go to bumbershoot at least one day... i'm not that excited about the lineup, but i think sept 1st i may go. the shins and devotchka though last time i saw the shins i was not that impressed. still, it wouldn't be labor day weekend without bumbershoot. anyone else going/ want to go with me?

one more week of camp, then moving to greenlake, then here (seattle) and there (mount vernon) until school starts.
i'm actually really excited for going back to school. this summer has been a good thing for me.

I picked lutherwood! so I am working there this summer and probably will be in Seattle on Saturdays, some friday nights. I'm back now and don't really want to be. It's really good up in Bellingham, I love Lutherwood and the people are amazing. One girl even resembles Rory Gilmore! Skye is with me and we work together in the kitchen, washing dishes and singing our hearts out.

So far I love it. Sometimes the schedule is a bit overwhelming, not very much time for yourself, but that will change for us kitchen staff a bit once real camp starts. We still have one more week of training.

Pretty sure it's where I was meant to be. Maybe even a huge part of where this year has been leading me. I hope to continue this journey in the "change of scenery" I have chosen (or that chose me rather) and see where it takes me.
