Dear Blog, I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. Won't happen again. Love, Me.

As I sit here in my dorm listening to a strange combination of new music I bought from iTunes, I realized that my blog was lacking in attention. 

There's been some other revelations as of late here:

1. I am officially 19. I don't really feel older, but I guess I am.. or something. I also feel very loved because my facebook is currently filled with people writing on my wall "Happy Birthday!!" and such like. 

2. I looked at my previous entry and faintly remembered that I was formally going to write more on it, but totally forget now what I was going to write in the first place. So it was probably something along the lines of "We got a lot of snow, I love my Ithaca friends, and I'm sleepy and will go to bed now"

3. I really like exercising now. I do it almost every day, but Mondays and Thursdays are especially fun because a few of us usually go kickboxing and it's pretty intense but it always makes you feel really good after. I also found four further things:

1. I needed a sports bra. I got two at Target for 8 dollars. Horray for deals!

2. I lost weight, and can now fit successfully into a size 4

3. I'm a lot more energetic/ feel better all around.

4. Also found some really cool songs thanks to the mix in kickboxing that the leader plays. My favourite is "Soccer Practice" by Gay Pimp. Funny song.

4. I like my classes, for the most part (the work part is not so fun). Mon/ Wed/ Fri I have American Literature, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe, and Media Literacy. On Tues/ Thurs I have Global Studies and Aging Studies. American Lit has a really cool teacher, but there's also this guy Edgar in my class who thinks he knows everything but he's waayyy off. Like for instance, we're reading Huck Finn, right? And everyone knows that the whole book is basically making fun of Southern hospitality, and the "King" and "Duke" are con men. But poor Edgar, he thinks the "King" and "Duke" are good people, and will wind up heros. He's in for a big surprise. But moving on, I love my Stars class because it's really chill, and the teacher is awesome but sometimes the big class size is not so helpful. Media Literacy has the same teacher as I had last semester in my Psych class. She's awesome. In Global Studies, we're reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, and it's a super amazing book that you all need to read. Awesome class. Aging class is cool too, the teacher is very bubbily and cute, and she gets everyone into it. 

5. (Which I should have mentioned before but didn't) I totally forgot to write anything about my winter break. So instead of writing more of a novel then I intend to, I'm just gonna sum it up: Worked at Regal again, lots of fun times and boring ones too, the not so cool part of it was getting my car side-swiped while I was in work. Granted, it was foggy and you couldn't see but really, the person could have left a note. Oh well. Hung out with K-bo the most, of course. Also saw Amke, Kim (well her I work with, so that was fun), Becky, Catherine, Jaime, and visited HHS and hugged all my Guildians and talked to my fav teachers (Jones and Weiss, mostly). Saw Benjamin Button, Milk, Nothing But the Holidays, and Seven Pounds. 

6. My birthday weekend was lots of fun. On Friday, we went downtown to Lost Dog (our favourite restaurant) and had some really good food. I had something called a Vooda-Ahi Burger but instead of meat, I had tofu. It was spicy and glorious and the mac and cheese on the side just made it all the much better. We ordered dessert and I had my favourite- The Geshia, it's cheesecake slices in a toasted crust with raspberry over it. SOO GOODDD. After we went back to our rooms and changed into dancing clothes and then Mara and Christina called and said they had to make us look all pretty. So Amelia, Hinzy, and I went over to Towers and Mara styled my hair and Hinzy did my makeup. We met the boys and went to the gay club, Oasis. It was a little dull at first coz there wasn't a lot of people there but it got a lot busier and was much better. We all danced our little hearts out. Good times. On Saturday, we hung in Chris' room and watched Zoolander, played Apples to Apples and a few other games, and hung out. On Sunday, we watched the Super Bowl in Emerson (really big room with TVs). Until we got a little bored and it became much more crowded, then we went back to do homework and after that, Amelia and I ran to East Tower to catch the rest of the game with Mara, Christina, and Chris and watch the hour-long Office after it. It was a pretty epic ending, with the really long field goal. But The Office, that was one of THE funniest episodes ever we all laughed so hard, and sighed at Jim's proclamation of love and then went home. On Monday (my actual birthday) me and Chris went kickboxing and then we went to late night at Towers. I was happy to learn that this also meant that breakfast foods were being served. SCOORREE. I also brought the cake Mom sent via a birthday box (Harry and David) and after we ate and talked a little, we feasted on the cake. It was reaaallllyyy good. Just the thing to kick my chocolate craving for the day, and it had gotten a little warm because the plates were warm. With milk and my friends, it was a good day. After dinner and cake, we went to Chris and Geoff's room and Chris had a present for me- my own "song"! Well, he used Britney Spears' song "Gimme More" and put things about me into it. It was really funny and sweet. All the good ones have to be gay... 

7. I have the coolest friends ever. Mara made me a card with The Doctor and me on it, it's so cool. Christina and Hinzy each made me a card too- Christina's was a simple little yellow card but a nice little message on the inside, Hinzy used her knowledge of Japanese and awesome personality to make me a super-cool card. And I got one from my roomie, Amelia too, it's a really cool Beatles card (we both love them) and she also got me Truffle candy at Target. Dangerous Amelia, dangerous. Geoff also made me one where he attempted to draw a character from Doctor Who. And you heard about Chris'. :) 

8. I am sleepy and should do work for tomorrow. I will leave you with some pretty pictures from the weekend :) Actually, I'll do it on another post..
