Remember the good old days of Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry??
Well those are long gone.
Take a look at what kids are watching now:

I have a feeling this is a marketing attempt to convince children to use crack.
Oh and by the way, IT'S FRIDAYYYYY!!!!

Now you're fashionable, Mom
According to Lucky magazine, oversized glasses are back. Apparently they're all the rage in Paris.

Sick Is Fun
Hola! Sorry I'm really not very good at keeping up with this.
Not much to say here. I've been sick all week, which sucks. I'm starting to actually get really stressed about school because I have about 8 million things to get done, but I'm still recovering, so I would prefer to continue hibernating in my dorm room. Unfortunately, that's not an option. Today, Hayley and I are going to see He's Just Not That Into You, which will be a nice improvement from my usual activities. This weekend is not much of a weekend at all. I was so ready for it too. Last night I just studied for Psychology and watched tv by myself. This morning I did laundry whilst studying some more. And tonight I will be studying, yet again. Isn't life great? I just need to make it to spring break and then all will be good. Only three more weeks!
That's all for now, though. Adios!
Oh and by the way, this bipolar weather is really starting to get on my nerves..

Superbowl Sunday
After a day like yesterday, I feel that I absolutely MUST post something on here. I'm talking about the Superbowl. That game was completely epic in so many ways. And for all of you non-footballers (aka Megan and Marissa), here's a little recap. :)
To start, it is definitely in the top 10 of best games I've ever seen...maybe even top 5...or 1. I wanted the Steelers to get it from the start, but I have to hand it to Arizona; they sure tried. They were just 9-7 in the regular season, and were not even thought of as Superbowl contenders. But they stepped it up in their post-season games and got there; it was their first-ever Superbowl appearance. Even after that, though, I never even expected them to come close to winning, but they surprised me. They certainly had an amazing comeback in the second half, and, if they had won, it would have been the biggest comeback in Superbowl history. I do have to say that I really like Kurt Warner, not just as a player, but also as a person (there you go Carol). And, although he didn't do too much in last night's game, Larry Fitzgerald may just be superhuman!
Anyway, enough about the Cardinals because, who really cares??
Pittsburgh played amazing throughout the entire game (with the exception of one turnover by Ben Roethlisberger). The last play before the half was truly historic. If you don't remember, let me remind you: the Cardinals were on the 2 yard line with 18 seconds left. Kurt Warner threw a bad pass, which was intercepted by the Steelers' James Harrison, who, then, ran it ALL THE WAY BACK TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN!! It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I was literally screaming.
But then, Arizona came back and actually took the lead. On Pittsburgh's last drive, Santonio Holmes won the game! He could not be more deserving of the title, Superbowl MVP. His touchdown catch was so perfect, it was unbelievable. Not only was he in triple-coverage, he had to fight just to keep his feet in-bounds. That last drive was so intense, I thought my heart was going to burst. By the end, I was jumping up and down. THAT was an amazing game. And don't forget that Pittsburgh is the first franchise to ever win six Superbowl titles.
There were only two negatives with Superbowl 43:
1) The commercials were meant for the pleasure of the insane.
2) The half-time show WAS insane...really horrible.
Ok. I'm done pretending to be a sports journalist. Now, I have to go get ready for my first intramural basketball game. That's right. I joined a basketball team.
See ya!

B-ball And...F-ball?
Nothing much to say...I'm just really bored right now.
This week has been good though. Last night I went to my first college basketball game and it was awesome. We killed MU! And basketball games are so much more fun than football games because there are no dull moments...something is always happening. I bought a ticket to the game against KU on V-day and I can't wait!
I'm still looking forward to Superbowl Sunday. I still, however, have no plans that day. I might go home b/c apparently there is a party going on at my house. I just don't know if I want to make the drive. We'll see.

School Is Where The Cool Kids Are
I haven't said anything for awhile, so I thought I would let everyone know what's going on right now.
I am back in Manhattan and have started school. I really think this semester is going to be great. First of all, after Kelly and Kim moved out, we didn't get new roommates! Hayley and I have an entire empty room next to us! I couldn't be happier about it. We have been having so much fun. We have frequent movie nights and our friends come over and hangout all the time. It is SO much better than last semester.
I like all of my classes except for Business/Econ Statistics. I can't stand the teacher, and boring doesn't even begin to describe this class. Oh, and did I mention the teacher is Polish?? Besides that class, school is good and I don't think it's going to be much of a challenge.
Today, Hayley and I are going to see Slumdog Millionare, which I am excited about because it is supposed to be amazing. I am also looking forward to the Superbowl next Sunday. (Go Steelers!) I haven't really heard of anyone doing something fun for the game, so I might possibly maybe be going home. I don't know yet, though.

Does This Qualify As A "Break?"
Hi! Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted. I've been very busy...and lazy.
All of my finals went well and I got straight A's my first semester. The one grade that actually really surprised me (and the one grade that really didn't matter) was physics. In the last post, I mentioned that I took it in just 15 minutes. Well, I got 109%!!! That was pretty unexpected.
I've been at home since December 19 and, honestly, break has kind of sucked. I had a house-sitting job for 11 days and I hated it. It's horrible to be here, but not living in my own precious house that I've been away from for four months. On top of that, Applebee's has officially become my home/life. I work everyday. Last week I worked almost 50 hours in 7 days! Not only am I just plain sick of working, I am exhausted! Because of all this I haven't spent any time with my family, let alone my friends. It just hasn't been the relaxing break I was hoping for. In all honesty, my life will be less stressful when I get back to school, which I am now looking forward to. The one up-side to all of this work is the money. I was practically broke by the end of first semester, and now I'm feeling a little more financially stable. I got $500 for the house-sitting and I should be earning a relatively good amount from Applebee's, as well. I just have to keep telling myself that all of this is worth it.
Christmas was alright...I guess. That happened during the housesitting, so I basically came home to eat and open presents and then returned to my dungeon (aka the other house...but I felt like a prisoner). I did get a lot of cash, which, of course, was needed. I also got all of the 3 or 4 things I asked for (boots, a northface jacket, and a coat). New Year's Eve was nothing special at all. I worked a double that day and went to bed early. Woohoo.
The one thing that has really kept me alive these last few weeks is Twilight. When I was in Manhattan, some friends and I saw the Twilight movie and I thought it was really good. Since Marissa has all four books, I figured I'd read them over break to have something to do. I have to say, they are really great. I'm about halfway through the third right now, and I should get them all done before I head back to school.
