so this morning my professor went on a rant of how white teachers never present the right things about MLK Jr. She bashed teachers who only presented the "I have a dream" speech saying that they were just trying to blow over black history and that they were, in a word, unintelligent.
this afternoon, my other professor had us read the i have a dream speech out loud and we talked about how it was a great piece of literature.
i love school.

if you all are able to give blood and would like to help out my chapter for greek week (yes, i know it's a sorority, but we're still trying to better the world) then you can go to your local red cross and say you're donating for the Zeta Tau Alpha at the University of Missouri-Columbia. it'd be greatly appreciated!
relay for life was a lot of fun but very chilly and exhausting. you can still donate at my site if you'd like to; so far we've raised a little over 90,000 dollars on our campus but we're trying to break the 100,000 dollar goal we set.
sorry, i'm asking a lot, i'm in the help everyone spirit today i guess.

so my boy planned a sort of-suprise picnic for me today... i'm really excited. we'll be hiking for a while and then he claims he found "the perfect spot" for us to set up. he hiked around five miles yesterday to find it. he's also making the meal for us. i found an amazing guy.
relay for life is also this weekend; if you guys could make any donations to it that'd be amazing. there's a link on my facebook profile (it has "mizzourelay" in the link i think, you should see it in the links part of my profile) and you can donate online. anything you can give would be great! i only have 60 dollars raised so far, i feel like a slacker.
other than that it's just been homework homework homework. oh, and constructing flats for seven hours until 4am... but we won't talk about that night.
love to all, see you in a month or so.

hope everyone had fun on their spring breaks; it seems like my school is the last one to have it this year. oh well.

so this weekend was fun.
friday night i went over to kevin's. him, preston, steve, dan, scott (my new boy) and i all sat down to play some amazing apples to apples. the guys quickly learned that the chicago card was the way to win any round w/ me as the question asker. then i learned how to play beer pong, without drinking. i was ok at it, surprisingly. after that i went back to scott's for a while.
saturday i basically slept all day because i wasn't feeling very well. it felt good to sleep though. i also got to go to ihop w/ angie, always a fun expedition. a good lunch was had and then we organized the room for a bit while watching family guy until angie left for work. after she did that i slept some more, basically until sunday morning.
sunday i proctored study hours for a while and then went to kevin's again to watch the superbowl with him, angie, and kevin's two roommates. the magic fridge commercial was by far my favorite. then i went to scott's and worked on geometry homework i had forgotten about and watched tommy boy.
today i woke up and went to my 8am (geometry) only to realize that we had a quiz! oh joy, i had no idea. think i did pretty well though. then to work where i made myself a delicious grilled chicken sandwich for lunch. after stopping at wolpers i went to visit navy boy brandon for a while which was fun and now i'm back at zeta waiting for formal dinner.
so overall a very fun weekend (besides the being sick thing). now the fun is over as i have soooo much to do.
happy day after susan's birthday to susan! we'll have to invade quincy soon.
and i'll probably be at u of i on the 24th, so keep that in the back of your minds!

so i'm sitting in connecticut.. my dad and i flew here today. i was immediately greated by my practically crying babci (grandma) my excited dziadzi (grandpa), 6 types of 'cold cuts' and four types of cake. it was amazing. i love my grandparents and don't get to see them enough, so it's exciting. the only bad part is i don't know polish so my dad and grandparents talk and i sit there. my dziadzi did compare alcohol to poison and marijuana though, so that made my night. i'm going to have a shot of veshnuvka w/ him later.
i updated ap, not one of my best though.
give me a call if you'd like, i'll be in connecticut til wednesday.

customers are not nice when they have to wait in a five minute line. damn retail.
i saw a whole lot of people that i hadn't seen in a while though; kind of cool.
and kyle from mizzou showed up randomly which was a pleasant surprise.
so all in all, yay for bath and body works.
come to the sale starting tuesday; i will be there, for i will be working.
merry christmas everyone!

Today we salute you stressed out college student during exam week. As you sit in your lonely cubical in the library, doped up on starbucks & aderol, you think to yourself, am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life? The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage, I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you have checked your buddy list 800 times. xmas break is just days away, and your Prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold bud light after that last exam, because for most of us, break will be spent in rehab...
and yes susan, number of posts do increase during finals week.
stat final tonight, paper due sometime this week, anthro final thursday, then home.
if you have any yoplait lids for me get them to me this coming weekend; i'm sending them in then.
much love to all.

so studying is for the silly people. but i'm going to the artisan in a couple hours to sit down and write my stupid paper. it bothers me because i know no matter what i write he won't like it and so i'm going to get a 'b' in the class and lose my scholarship and fail at life. but oh well, the paper must be written.
after studying i must go to an exec council meeting. no idea what we'll be talking about; maybe how we have to go through every zeta's facebook profile and look for things that "aren't appropriate zeta behaviors" haha yay. speaking of facebook i made a photo album on there w/ pictures of semi-formal and angie's 21st in general, good times.
tonight there's a free pancake breakfast at our student commons... i'm very excited. angie, dani, navy boy brandon and i went last year and it was amazing: free pancakes and sausage, coffee, orange juice, etc. starts at 10:30 and goes til 12:30am... i might stay a long time. plus finals food begins tonight.
i love food.
hope everyone has a decent last few weeks. i think i'll be home thursday night instead of friday now; my brother leaves saturday or somewhere around there for london so i want to say hello and goodbye instead of just "don't get too drunk".
i will be going to connecticut january 7th-11th but otherwise i'll be home/working from december 16th (17th?) through january around that time. make sure to give me a call if you're home!

officially done with classes! amazing!
now i just have to write a paper and study for two finals. then i'm done with this semester! it went by pretty fast but i'm kind of glad it did.
if anyone needs anything at bath and body works i'm officially working there again for the break; stop by and say hello.
this afternoon i'm going to be one of those salvation army people standing outside the grocery store ringing a bell. i'm excited, not going to lie to you all. except it's kind of chilly. oh well.
today is a good day simply due to the fact that it was my last day of english 1000H. forever. no more random ramblings about chinese pizzamen or whatever else! excitement abounds!
tonight i'll probably go to el maguey with katy and jarred and then to preston's to distribute fun christmas presents.

so semiformal wasn't too bad, no dancing though. not because we didn't want to but because there wasn't a dance floor. slightly amusing. anyway, most people just stood around socializing and drinking. my entire group besides preston and i followed suit. i have never had to buy my own alcohol and didn't intend to start, especially when my date doesn't drink at all. it was still fun getting to talk to everyone and celebrate angie's 21st at midnight.
after semiformal i went over to preston's for a bit but he and steve started watching anime and i really wasn't in an anime mood. i downed a rootbeer and journeyed into the frigid air once again.
talked to matt on the way back to keep my ear warm and see what was up with him.
when i got back to the house i saw a jarred sitting in the foyer waiting for katy, angie, and julie so he could take them to steak n shake.
i stayed w/ him to keep him company while he waited and soon enough angie, katy, and julie came down the stairs. all of them were drunk, some more than others though.
we got them all in the car and went on our way to steak n shake. i took a very amusing picture of the backseat screaming for madonna. got to steak n shake after a million 'are we there yet's' and met up w/ kevin. the night was interesting and included katy hysterically crying and jarred getting a bit annoyed w/ everyone which was sad.
katy wouldn't let jarred touch her so i wiped off her face a bit and got her up and into the car while everyone else paid. then we drove back to zeta, julie and angie acting significantly less drunk. as soon as we got back to the house we all crashed till 11 this morning.
now i'm probably going to go to lunch w/ non navy boy brandon and then attempt to get some homework out of the way. then tonight it's angie's birthday celebration part two which includes chevy's at 7 and then kevin's house. it's all bring your own beverages so hopefully no one will get too bad.
then more homework...yay.

and all of a sudden it decided to be november.
the wind gusts got so bad that i couldn't breathe on the way back from my tdp test. it made me think of home.
last weekend was amazing; full of jimmy john's, slackers, vintage shops, gumby's, scrabble, and of course those three girls that go by susan, laura, and rambo.
today was my day from hell: i woke up feeling like i hadn't even gone to bed. went outside, quickly realized it was freezing rain that was falling on me and so i couldn't ride my bike to class.
went and got my umbrella, got to lab, got there late. i was peeved. finished the lab (luckily she let me do it) and went back to zeta.
tried to study for tdp (teacher class) but couldn't ever fully concentrate.
went to tdp test, most likely failed, and went to preston's to release some pent up rage for a few minutes.
went back to zeta, realized i missed dinner because they moved it up w/o telling anyone, and came upstairs to study some more for my stats test tonight.
after i get done w/ my stats test i will come back and study for my anthro quiz that is tomorrow morning at 9am. woooo busy busy day.
the weather didnt' help.
only a few more days before i go to st louis and then to home. i'm going to go see yellowcard at slu saturday night which will be fun because of the music and the company. i'll also most likely go to a museum and harry potter w/ angie, kathleen, and elizabeth.
i take the train home sunday afternoon, arrive in joliet at 7:32pm. yes, 7:32. then let the week begin!

becoming a peer educator has made me fear for the human population i guess. what don't people know about alcohol consumption? or stress? or healthy eating habits? or exercise? i feel like i know nothing but then i mention something to a person and they're like no way! it's crazy.
i'm not saying i never drink or stress or consume ridiculous amounts of food. i'm just saying i know what i'm doing. am i insane to be concerned for the rest of the world?
if you could describe me in three words, what would they be?
i'm sorry i've been so horrid lately. tiredness will not let go of me. hopefully i'll get some sleep soon.
i'm hoping the gorgeous weather will hold out through the weekend, but i heard it's supposed to rain. i just want my friends to see the campus on a good day.

the day was long and included me writing a paper for a class the hour before the class. yeah, i put it off that long. but i got it done and it was all right i guess. not my best but oh well.
getting ready to go to a basketball game, yay! don't even know who we're playing hahaha. oh well at least i'm going.
everyone is my friend today.
i'll see you all later.
i'll see susan, rambo, and laura in 4 days!

weekend was amazing overall.
friday night entailed hanging out at preston's for a while, eating and playing paper mario mostly with a little donnie darko thrown in.
saturday slu matt came for the day. we started out getting taco bell then moved on to playing cards in peace park and watching squirrels. after a while the leaves started attacking us so we went to the artisan to get some coffee and again played some cards.
we played cards to determine who would pay, who would go get our drinks, who would decide what we were doing after the artisan, etc. it was fun.
after the artisan we went to get dinner at applebees and as soon as we got seated it started to hail. i'm not kidding, actual hail. it had been gorgeous the entire day and then it suddenly got cold enough to hail. and after it stopped hailing it was nice again. weird.
anyway, after dinner we went to see charlie and the chocolate factory since he had never seen it before and i had wanted to go.
after the movie, it got really really cold and so we sat in his car w/ the heater blasting before deciding where to go. after another movie, we called it a night.
the next morning we went to ihop where i got delicious carmel apple pancakes w/ all the sausage and such. so good. and of course i got some coffee.
after breakfast matt had to leave, which was not cool at all. it was a fun day/night/breakfast though so that's good.
after matt left i got on my bike and rode around for at least 4 or 5 miles before finding epple field, the field that ripsky was playing on in his ultimate frisbee tournament. i only got lost once, the rest of the miles i was just enjoying the bike trail.
got to the field, watched the u of i team play indiana university and win, talked to ripsky for a magical 10 minutes and then left.
my legs are going to murder me in my sleep from making them bike so much.
i went over to preston and steve's after the bike ride to do some homework and had some dinner w/ them too. the chicken sandwiches were horrid tonight for some reason but oh well.
i also talked to nick tonight. the boy from last year, not this year. it was good to talk to him, and nothing crazy happened which i was very grateful for. we had some good conversation even though a couple of his friends came in at one point and looked at me like "what the hell is she doing in here" before completely ignoring me and then walking away. nice.
i got slated! but shh it's a secret til tomorrow what position and the fact that i actually did make executive council for zeta.
came back to zeta, talked w/ angie, and now i'm sitting here ready to go to sleep.

so this week's been going by pretty fast.
i hate the scheduling system. i currently have two classes that i still need to register for, but i can't because they're full. they weren't full at 8:30 this morning, but they were full at 1:15. which sucks a lot.
i got the bright eyes ticket for laura today. further back than i had hoped for her, sorry! but it's a ticket. so that's good. and there really isn't a bad seat. anyway.
i might get a visit from paul ripsky this weekend. will it be interesting? i think so.
other than that my weekend's looking a little dull. might go to one of the peer educator's birthday parties but that's about all that's going on. oh the exciting life i lead.
i have to give a presentation tonight on healthy eating habits and the new food pyramid. once i get back to zeta i will be interviewing for my executive council position. wish me luck!

he broke up w/ me in an e-mail. hahaha obviously it was meaningful to him.
1st time someone's actually broken up w/ me. interesting feeling.
i'm ok.
friday was initiation, saturday was the most boring football game of my life (mizzou ku, 13-3 loss, boring as hell besides the annoying fans which were fairly amusing), saturday night was paper mario at preston and steve's, sunday morning found out about the break up through mizzou webmail.
now i must try to focus so i can write a paper and study for an anthro quiz.
guess this means no disturbed/oar concerts for christine.
