Tuesdays, Mrr Weather, and Messiness

Tuesday has never really been a lovely day in my book. There's not much to be amped up for since you still have the rest of the week's work to do, and you don't have that high from the weekend that you did on Monday. I try to like it because I was born on a Tuesday, but there's still not much appeal.

Speaking of birthdays, today is my mom's birthday! She also has her last class for her masters today. Happy birthday mom!

Mrr weather is not appropriate for dead week. If you're wondering what mrr weather is, it is the type of weather where you look outside and simply mutter "mrr." from under the covers. This weather is definitely not helpful for the case of writing an essay.(Is that all I talk about?)

Right now, the room is atrocious. Not pleasant at all. By the room, I don't just mean the scary side (AKA the room mate's) but my side. When coming back to campus after Thanksgiving, I managed to get a lot of clean laundry. Has this been put away? No, it has not. Other than than, I at least still have a desk with room to put things on it such as my computer.

What do you do to get yourself pumped up to work when the weather is blah?

Essays, One Acts and Running Reputations

Dear blog world,

Please write my English essay for me. An A would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Love, Me.

This English essay has been looming over my head since I got the assignment, and I am not excited about it. Strangely enough this essay is what is freaking me out the most. Finals? Psh, I have that covered. I've learned how to study right. Essays? Woo boy. Not my forte. My mind likes to pretend that I'm a better writer than is true, but my subconcious knows I'm pretty average. I'm strangely pumped for College Writing next term just so I can become a better writer. Due Thursday. Have about 1/3 written out... maybe 1/4. Now that I'm done with my other essay, this is my main focus.

Met for the One Act again tonight. We've got rehersals every night this week now. Scary? Perhaps, seeing what I mentioned in the paragraph above. Rehersals will only be about an hour each, so it should be fine. I'm just nervous that we do it on Sunday!

Last thing for the night to mention is about running, because for some reason I always have to say something about it. I ran today instead of yesterday, which was kind of weird. A funny thing about running is when you talk to other people about your running. For instance, let's look at my running schedule. I run usually Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday and Sunday. Only one of those runs is a long run and the other runs go from 4-5 miles. When I see family members, it's after I've ran my long run. This gives the illusion that I run these long runs every day, or multiple times. Maybe you don't but sometimes ignorance is bliss and you can feel like a cocky son of a gun in front of other people. Just sayin'. Besides, you're still doing freakin' long runs.

Boo. Need to get things ready for tomorrow and work on the essay more. Bleah.

How do you write a good essay?

Homework, Waiting for Superman and Market of Choice

No matter what, all through middle school and high school I spent Sundays as days to work on homework. Recently in college however, Sundays have involved... doing absolutely nothing. Today was a bit of a revert back to high school life. I was back at home, doing homework. ...Now I'm not in the mood to go back to school. It must be done.

My mom who was doing work as well decided that it was time for a break. She wanted to go to the movie Waiting for Superman so off we went.

Oh man, it was a great movie. I suggest seeing it. There hasn't been hype for it for nothing. It's also a very informative movie. There were so many things that I did not know about the education system.

After the movie we thought we should eat somewhere. I said it was a bit early for dinner, so I suggested doing something beforehand. This is when we ventured to somewhere I was extremely excited to go: Market of Choice.

The Market of Choice was recently built in town and I've heard a lot of stuff about it. Call me crazy to be pumped to go to a uppity grocery store, but I've heard of stranger. The verdict? What a cool place! I wouldn't buy my regular groceries there, but you could buy freshly ground almond butter, fancy cheeses, local chocolates, so much stuff! During winter break there will be much shopping there. My mom even got me some fresh ground pb and Almond b. Can't wait to try it!

Now, best I start getting a move on... School returns tomorrow! ...Meh.

What are your views on Market of Choice and Waiting for Superman?

Running Away From Home and Saturday Night Live

Yes, I ran away from home today... but I ran back! That may sound odd, but it's true. Today was yet again my long run day. I ended up staying the night at my home so I would be able to get work done. I knew that if I was to stay up at the cousins' house there would be no way anything would be achieved. Truth be told, I can't really say I've gotten the best amount of work completed, but it's something. And there's still the evening...

Now! About the long run. The very beginning was... Oof. Could have been due to the fact that it was after a few days of consuming an overload of brie and pie. Not the best fuel for a run. Funny thing was, after a couple miles I was feeling pretty good. Breathing heavy, but I felt the running vibe! At the very end was where my legs were starting to die. I got 11 miles in! The farthest I've run yet! Fantastic!

I have always been a big fan of comedy. I can, and have spent an entire day watching stand up comedy. I try to think of how something funny could be incorporated into a situation. This makes it obvious that I would be someone who loves Saturday Night Live. Personally, I think that people should appreciate SNL more. People complain that "It's not as good as it used to be." Honestly, right now there are some great members of SNL, especially some of the new cast members this year. SNL has effected the news, life, everything.  There have been some amazing hosts, two of my favorites are Justin Timberlake and Jon Hamm. They are surprisingly hilarious. If you've never really watched SNL, I suggest you do it. It hasn't been on air for more than 35 years for nothing.

Back to work. Meh.
What's been your favorite SNL moment?

The Day After Thanksgiving

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Also, did anyone participate in Black Friday shopping? Personally, I did not do some serious shopping, but I didn't know what to buy... I need to find out what I should get people for Christmas. Any who!

Lately I have become... stressed out. I have quite a few things due next week even though it's dead week, which worry me. That's not the only thing though.
In my English class, we've discussed that a tragic hero's greatest strength is their true weakness. Mine is my family. The thing is, I love my family. Sometimes, they drive me absolutely bonkers. I try to let it not stress me out so much, but I can't help it. When I try to say something, people will interject way before I have to finish a thought.There's no time to actually say what I'm thinking about.

Now, as you probably can tell, I'm talking about a specific instance. I was beginning to feel confident for my major. I  was feeling excited and like everything was starting to come together. I started to mention my ideas to everyone. Let's just say, not the best reactions. My uncle looked at me like I was a dumbass. I already know what my one cousin thinks. But the thing that my mom said just put me over the edge:

"Well, Communications is usually a major that you decided to pick when you've given up."

Yeah, really a fantastic feeling. I tried explaining why it was a good major, but no one would even let me talk. I can't stand it sometimes. No one really want to hear what you want to say, they just want to say their own opinions. Now I feel depressed about my major plans. I just want to have something solid in my life, you know? I'm so tired of people changing things, flaking out, all that jazz.

I get that yes, no one wants to read a blog entry that is just complaining but it's what is on my mind. It's also due to the face I'm feeling a little icky.

How do you guys deal with differences in family opinions?

Thanksgiving

Today it's very unlikely that many people are going to be reading blogs. So with that, I'd like to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! And if you're not from the U.S. of A., I hope you have a lovely Thursday. Now spend some time eating yourself silly and hang with your family.

Changing Plans and Basketball Games

Yes, it is another one of those evenings where I am not sure if I will be able to get to a computer. life has been quite busy as of late.
This morning after going to bed at an intelligent hour (meaning staying up until one thirty), I drove back to campus for an eight am class. Joyful. The plan for traveling for Thanksgiving was yet again changed. I think that I have become so rigid in scheduling because I have people changing or flaking out on plans so much. Ironic no?
Tonight I ended up going to the OSU basketball with some cousins, my sis, grandma and parents. what a fun game! Go beavs!

How do you deal with constantly changing plans?
