The Streets are Cold

One more exam to go!

My accounting test was ridiculously hard. I seriously ended up guessing on about 10 problems. I also started panicking halfway through when I realized I had no idea what I was doing! Wow! At least I don't EVER have to take another accounting class!

Exams 1 Mina 0

I took my English test this morning and it was actually the easiest test of the year. She gave us an extra 15 minutes and I think that really helped a lot with organizing the essays and what not.

Exams 1 Mina 1

Haha my MIS exam is on Saturday morning and I'm hoping it's not going to be too bad. It's not cumulative so that will help a lot with the study time. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night so I spent the whole day today just resting but I should hit the books soon to get a head start.

Ok guys! This is my last entry for the semester. I'm not sure who actually reads this but have a good break and see yall in '08.

Of course I'll leave you with a video. My friends probably have too much time on their hands but this is pretty funny.

where's my coffee?

I don't know about you, but for some reason I can't really study for a test unless I feel the pressure. So like I have an accounting exam tomorrow night but I probably won't get myself to truly concentrate till later tonight or tomorrow morning. It's horrible! I've got 2 chapters done so far though so hopefully I'll finish the next 2 soon today. And then study the other 10 after that, haha!

This cold and rainy weather is not helping either. It makes me not want to go on campus, which I should since I get too distracted at home.

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm done after this week! Finish strong! Maybe that will sink in later tonight too.

ACC 312 - Wed Night
E 316K - Thurs Morning
MIS 310 - Sat Morning

Update from LA

So you may be thinking how irresponsible I am for coming to LA this weekend, but don't worry! I brought all my studies here and I'm about to head off to a local Coffee Bean with my sister to do some hardcore studying. I also got some nice hours on the plane ride :)

Anyways...the Spice Girls were AMAZING! All my childhood memories came back to me. It was so nostalgic. They also sounded really good together (no they didn't lip synch)!

Ok I'll make a proper update with pictures when I get back to Austin tomorrow. Time to go study!

Spice up your life!

Dried contacts

All this work on the computer is drying up my contacts. Just thought you should know.

Anyways, I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have a test this week. I do have a final presentation for Acting and a lot of little homework that are due but no paper/pencil test. It's weird how that worked out but I'm not complaining!

So for our final presentation in Acting, we've been split into groups of 4 and our group chose to do a spoof off of the show "The Bachelor." Since the finale just aired a couple of weeks ago, we thought it'd be fun to make fun of all the "reality" that goes behind it. It should be fun but we've been spending so much time working out the details. We want to perform our confessionals live in front a video camera that will be projected on the wall so that the audience can't physically see us. We have to work out the kinks in the transitions for that tonight. And did I mention we have 2 costume changes? Oh dear.

I'm really behind on reading for my classes. I haven't opened my accounting or MIS book for this unit or read a single story in its entirety for english. It's probably because I've been reading so much for my history class. I have to take 2 more tests in one week for that class.

So on Thursday I'm leaving for LA for the Spice Girls concert! I'm so excited! Especially to see my sister again. She'll probably spoil me with yummy food :P Of course I'll spend my good 3.5 hours on the plane trying to read all the things I just listed above. But I think I got it planned out. I'll try to make sure I've read all the english texts by the time I get back to Austin and then I could review for it after my Accounting exam. For the accounting exam, I'll just study all three days I have before it. Since MIS is last and it's noncumulative, I won't start studying for it till after English. I hope that works out!

Whatever, I'm so ready for winter break! Although I have NOTHING planned, it'll be nice to be unproductive for a little bit... just kidding! I'll probably catch up reading my books that I bought over the summer but couldn't finish before school started. I also need to catch up on all the movies I haven't seen this semester. I can't wait!

Good luck everyone with their tests this week. Hang in there... 3 more days!

And I hope she's acting..

Home Stretch

One more week of classes! I'm so excited for winter break! This semester hasn't been one of my favorites to be honest. I feel like I didn't get to do everything I wanted and I'm still struggling to keep up with what I have right now. I guess I feel like I need to be involved in so many things to succeed but I think I just burned myself out. Or maybe I just hit my sophomore slump :(

Update on study abroad:
So I think I'm going to enroll for the CIBER marketing program in Paris. That way I can come back for second session and finish summer school, which I couldn't take last year because of my internship. Yea I know I changed my plans like 5 times this semester, but I think I got it now. Paris in the summer. LA in spring 09. Sounds right?

I'll leave you with some BBMak. Don't you miss those 90's boybands?

Freezing

I'm back in Austin! Thanksgiving break is way too short. It felt like it was just another weekend :(
I actually didn't get to eat any Boston Market this year. We went over to our friend's house and had a nice turkey meal. I also hung out with my friends that were camping out for Black Friday shopping. I didn't get much but I did get a new cell phone!

I also went to Kelly Clarkson's concert with my good friends. She was amazing! I think we all fell in love with her haha!

Of course, I didn't get much studying done and I'm a little worried about this week. I have to write 2 performance reviews and write out a script for acting, do my IT interview for MIS, catch up on my literature reading and journals, and take my history test for ACC. That last one is really stressing me out. I have to be constantly reading for that class and I'm getting burned out quickly. I have to keep reminding myself there's only 2 more weeks of this!!!

Speaking of exams, my accounting final got moved to wednesday night. Horrible. I have my literature the next day in the morning. I had this happen to me earlier this year...and it didn't turn out too well. My last exam is on that Saturday for MIS, which shouldn't be too bad.

I'll update later with pics. Hope everyone got back safely!

almost there

Only one more day of class!

Today in MIS we had a guest speaker from a large technological company and he spoke with us about innovation in the market place. It was really interesting to hear what he had to say about which products are popular and why they are and how they appeal to us emotionally. I would love being able to test out new products as my job!

I think I'm going to drive back up to Dallas tomorrow. I need to take one more ACC test before I leave though, so that might make me leave on Wednesday morning. I can't wait to be home and see everyone!

Thanksgiving Goals:
1. study for my third ACC test
2. write my acting papers
3. catch up reading for literature and write all the reading journals
4. re-read harry potter 2 (i'm going through the whole series again)
5. shop :P

One more week...

One more week till Thanksgiving! I don't know why I love this holiday so much. My family actually never throws the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We actually prefer chicken over turkey...and since there's only going to be 3 of us this year, it's nice to just go pick up some food at Boston Market haha. Actually we've been doing that for the past few years so I guess that is our Thanksgiving tradition. I also miss my parents alot. They are really some of the coolest/down-to-earth parents out there. I guess I also enjoy Black Friday! hahaha I don't really have anything this year that i really need but I'll probably try to get the first seasons of Ugly Betty and Heroes. OOO and there's also a lot of football to watch and play...man I love this holiday :P

Anyways...I got my Literature test back and I was right...I really didn't want to see what I got. I don't get why it's so hard to get an A in that class. I have about 6 other friends in there and none of us are on track to get an A. And it's not like I don't try! I spend hours and hours and hours studying for it. Sigh. This is when plus/minus grading would come in handy!!!

I went to the CIBER study abroad info session today. I really don't know what I'm doing over the summer but I feel like I should stay in Austin and finish up my government and history classes. It'd be nice to go to Paris for the first summer session though. I have no clue...

On a totally different topic...Senator Barack Obama is coming to Austin on Saturday (thanks to the many chalk memos on the drag). I really want to go and see what he says. I'm not much of a political person but I want to vote in the next election, and I feel like it's my duty to learn as much as i can from each candidate before I vote for them. I heard him speak on MTV a couple of weeks ago and he made some interesting points. He'll be at the Backyard at 4:30 pm on Saturday if anyone's interested.

On Sunday I also need to watch a play for my acting class. I'm planning on a watching a production at the Austin's Playhouse on Congress. Another busy busy weekend, but hey...there's only 2 days of class next week!!!

Oh and the MuteMath concert I went to last week was AMAZING!!! One of the most musically entertaining concerts I've ever been to. I can't wait to see them again.






I also took a video of the drummer's solo during "Break the Same"

I should be studying

Wow last week was quite busy...I'm not sure why it was so busy but i remember having to run around doing errands, such as getting my laptop fixed! I learned so much about computers this past week than in my life. My birthday was also last week! It was nice and relaxing. I had about 30 of my friends eat dinner with me so that was nice of them :) I'll post pictures later...when I get them from my friends :P

I got my MIS test back and I'm very pleased with the results. I don't have another midterm in that class so basically all that's left is the final. I think I'm getting my Literature test back tomorrow and I really don't want to see that one. Sigh.

Tomorrow is my accounting test and I'm almost done going over the chapters. The material in this unit doesn't seem too bad but I always end up wanting to cry after taking these exams so I won't underestimate them!

I've also been helping manage this band that's been gaining a lot of popularity in Austin. I just started so it'll be good to get a feel of what it's like managing all the different aspects of an artist. I actually heard about this position from a friend in the Grammy U organization. Gotta love Grammy U!

Thanksgiving is coming up and I can't wait! Lots and lots of food with my family is always fun. I'm also going to Kelly Clarkson's concert in Dallas with my good friends that are also coming home so that'll be awesome catching up with them. I just hope there's no freak accident on the way back to Austin like last year.

Well I should go back to reading my wonderful accounting book!

By the way...How about them Cowboys?!?

Career Week

So my laptop's hard drive failed and I lost all of my files :( I bought a new hard drive but i haven't installed it in yet so i've been living in the mil lab haha.

I had an MIS 301 test today and I thought it was a lot better than the first one. I knew how to answer them all so that's a good sign :P

Career Week starts today! I'm sad I can't attend the Sports & Entertainment seminar today but my eng lit review session is right in the middle of it. I'm looking forward to attending the Non-Profit Organizations Seminar on Thursday though.

Also the BBA birthday bash is wednesday. How convenient since it's my birthday too! (and julie's!)

Time to go read some more Hamlet for my Lit test tomorrow...

On Thursday I'm also going to MuteMath's concert! It's going to rock. (Watch the end!)

NOOOOOO

my laptop died.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Boo

Sigh... we lost our IM football game tonight. We always have this tendency to lose in the quarterfinals. I'm pretty upset right now buuuuuut life goes on after IM football haha!

So career prep week is next week but the only one I'm really interested in is Sports and Entertainment on Monday. But, that's also when UBC is having their DINE event where you get to sing with some professors. I don't know which one I'll end up going to but i think karaoke has an edge for now :D

Registration is coming up...I get to register next monday since i'm still a sophomore standing (man!). I know i have to take BA 324 and MKT 337. Other than that it'll just depend on what's open or not

Ugh I have two tests coming up for next week....time to start preparing!

Oh and Happy Halloween! I'm not planning on doing anything...maybe just sit around and eat chocolate :P

Time flies

Wow another week has already passed! Where does the time go...

Fefu and Her Friends was really interesting. There was a part in it where they split up the audience in 4 and took us around the theatre building to different sets. I'm still a little confused about the ending but the production itself did a really good job :)

Today our team won our first IM football playoff game! I scored a touchdown :D ...The weather is getting really cold at night. I couldn't really feel my hands but we still pulled it off 25-0. Come support us! We're Crossroadz in baby blue shirts.

Saw 4 is coming out tomorrow! I'm so excited! I really like how smart these Saw movies are...makes you really think haha

So my classes have been going alright. We just had a case study in MIS that was pretty interesting. We're also working on a group project in accounting that deals with real life companies and their financial options. But no tests till next next week so I should be pretty happy till then :)

Another UT football game this Saturday! The weather's going to be perfect...I can't wait :)

me and my roomie at a football game:

it's starting to look a lot like halloween

Shack-a-thon went on this past week! I'm sad I couldn't really participate much but I did get to catch the Ransom Notes performance and they were awesome! I feel like our school emphasizes so much on sports that we forget about the fine arts. I'm going to go watch the theatre's play today so I'm excited about that...and I should go to the Symphony orchestra's concert since I used to be in orchestra in high school :P

So halloween is coming around the corner and I don't know what I want to be! Any suggestions? I really want to go to a haunted house. I've never been but I really like scary movies so i figure i'd like haunted houses as well. :D

American Marketing Association is having a professor preview for the marketing classes next tuesday and I think this idea is brilliant! Basically the marketing professors come and introduce themselves and you get a feel for how they teach...kind of like pick-a-prof but in person. Unfortunately I don't think i can go but it's a great idea.

In other news...my sister is coming to visit next weekend!! if yall didn't know, she graduated from mccombs last year with a marketing major and works in Los Angeles now. It's going to be fun seeing her again!

Ok well I gotta go catch Fefu and Her Friends at the Oscar Brockett Theatre!

it's good to be back

I feel like I always gain 5 pounds when i go back home. So much food in such little time! Gregory is a must this week...

So we got our Accounting tests back. Our class average was a 67... Not so good. I'm happy to say that I passed but I should've done a lot better. I'm sure my whole class could've done a lot better =/

I can't believe registration is coming up again!! This semester is flying by already...
I have to take BA 324...and I'd like to finish off my natural science and take BIO 301L. Then I should probably take MKT 337...since I am a marketing major and I'll probably top it off with either MAN/LEB/IB. I'll also probably take another distance learning class from ACC and finish off my history classes.

There's nothing much happening this week for me. I love these kinds of weeks.

Random picture for the day: Half-wet elephant



Hahaha!

test free!

No more tests till November! Yes!

So my accounting test was 3 hours long and I felt like I was going to explode at the end of it. I didn't think it was too bad...but I forgot how to do one of the free response. Oops. The english test wasn't that bad either but there was a lot of writing needed to be done in that one class period. Now since all that is over, I get to catch up on my sleep :D

It's my dad's birthday weekend and I'm going home! It'll be my first time going back to Dallas since the summer and I'm excited to go back and just do nothing. It'll be a nice break.

I love how the weather is starting to get cooler! Can't wait till the highs are in the 70's... till then, it's still shorts and a tshirt for me.

i need an energy drink

Every 10 minutes or so I find my eyes getting extremely heavy. I'm at Reliant right now trying to study for my accounting test tomorrow and my sleepiness is starting to take over...so i decided to update my blog to keep myself awake....

The UTLA info session was pretty good. I basically knew everything about it b/c I've studied their website since a year ago...but I'm pretty convinced that I want to participate in it now. I'm probably going to go my second semester of Junior year. Hopefully I can get another internship the summer after in LA so i could just stay there a lil longer. :D

So after registering for my ACC class...I might drop it. I looked at the syllabus and the workload is not very pretty. There's like a test almost every week, and to get an A you have to write this extensive research paper. It doesn't really matter what I get in the class but I'd still like an A. It is my fault for signing up so late and having to take the 8-week session. Maybe I should just wait for the start of second semester and enroll in the 16-week session and take my time with it...

Well I guess I should go back to studying. I have accounting on monday and world lit on tuesday. Fun stuff.

what a day...

First and foremost...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRELLE!

So today turned out to be quite interesting. Since I'm such a morning person, I woke up at 4 to study for my first test in MIS and it went alright. I thought there were only 2 essay parts but then there were 3. I was starting to run out of time and my hand started cramping from scribbling my last thoughts. Sigh. Next time I'll be more prepared and actually start the test with the essays...

I then found out that my concurrent enrollment petition got approved today so I applied to take more classes at ACC since my schedule's been smooth so far. Might as well get some credits out of the way right?

Well, then I found out there's this internship opportunity. My semester has just gotten 10X more interesting. From taking 4 classes to adding more classes and possibly working. Of course this internship may never happen but it'd turn a lot of things around if I did get it. Maybe then I'll watch less tv :P

Tomorrow I'm going to a UTLA meeting hosted by its director. I totally miss LA and would love to go back and intern with some entertainment company and potentially get an offer...that would be the dream haha. I'll update more on that meeting later.

On Tuesday, our Acting class had site specific performances and they were awesome! all the groups did a great job and I had really fun making them. this class is really pushing my limits and improving my performance. Not that I'm looking to be an actress or anything professional like that, but it's still really cool to see how much you've grown in just a month.

Oh and OU weekend is coming up. I hope we don't lose by too much :(

Sorry if this entry seems scattered, it's been a long day.

Before I go back to reading Dante's Inferno for world lit, here's some peaceful music for you guys studying out there...(this guy is awesome!)

YES!

So the Spice Girls are having their world reunion tour and they randomly selected people for each city to get presale tickets..and guess who got it?? ME! They're coming to LA Dec. 7th and I bought tickets on the spur of the moment. A very pricey decision in which I should soon tell my parents about. hahah. But I'm hoping I can fly for that weekend...the only problem would be that it's right before finals but I'd force myself to study beforehand. I'm excited!

I have my first test of the semester on wednesday! It's for MIS and I'm hoping it won't be too bad. I'm more worried for my tests in accounting and english next week though.

I think I'm going to buy a night parking permit. It's hard for me to keep going back and forth on campus...especially at night it's kind of scary walking alone.

Not enough time!

I should've thought twice before watching Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy tonight.

I have an accounting quiz tomorrow and I'm really behind! I haven't even read the chapter let alone done any of the homework problems for it. Luckily we're allowed to drop a couple of homework grades but it's still only the beginning of the semester =(

I also have to write my reading journals for english. I only have to write 5-100 word entries but I feel like they're expecting a lot out of those 100 words and it's getting time consuming trying to find the right words to write.

AHHH and in acting, our teacher gave us this assignment where we have all these requirements that need to be put into our performance that's due next tuesday. The reqs are very strange and there are alot of them.

This weekend is going to be pretty busy too. When will I ever catch up in accounting?!

PS. Those were very good episodes of Ugly Betty and Grey's though.

i can't breathe

Literally. My nose refuses to let air pass through. Oh the frustration!

So today I went to our first mixer of the year for Grammy U. If you didn't know, it's an org for students who are interested in the music industry (that's me!). The mixer was held at the ME TV studios and we got to sit in on a taping of one of their shows. I've always found the film/tv industry interesting as well. I loved directing and editing movie projects in high school and i don't think i was too bad at it. I sometimes think of double majoring in RTF but the requirements for Communications is so different from the B school. For example, you need to take 4 language classes, 3 natural science classes, and 3 rhetoric classes for the basic requirements. Maybe if I thought about it my freshmen year it could've worked out, but i really want to graduate in 4 years :P

I really need to start working out more. I'm going to try to go at least 4 times a week...those tv screens on the treadmills are awesome too :D

Heroes, heroes, heroes....I think i need to watch it by myself. Or at least in a quiet room haha! Sorry friends, I take my shows seriously :P

The Red River Shootout is coming up and i can't go. Bummer. Just so happens that I have an accounting test the monday after. Out of all the classes, it had to be accounting...and then on Tuesday i have an english exam. So those two tests will probably consume my OU weekend. But then I'll get to go back to Dallas the next weekend to celebrate my dad's brthday!

This is one of the cutest videos I've seen. And it's completely relevant as I'm getting drowsy off of my medicine. Gnite!

First day of Fall!

What a great day to start off fall. Hooray for cooler weather and my birthday coming up :P

So a lot of people around campus have been sick this past week, and I so unfortunately caught it from someone :(
I've been having body fevers and a stuffed nose. Last night, my right eye kept crying for some reason. So when I woke up, it was really bloated hahaha.

Career Expo was last week and I really need to get more comfortable heels haha. The expo had a lot of interesting companies this year But I was a little bummed b/c all the companies I was interested in told me to just apply online. So all my pretty resumes weren't put to use...and i didn't get any free stuff either haha :P

A lot of people have exams this week but I luckily don't have one till the start of October. I really need to start visiting my TAs so I don't fall behind when they do come around.

Study Abroad update:
1. If I don't get an internship next summer, I want to go abroad to Australia first semester of Junior year (Australia starts in late July). Then for second semester, go on the UTLA program in Los Angeles and intern there.
2. If I don't get to go to Australia and I don't get an internship, then I'll go on the CIBER program to Paris and then take summer school for the second half of summer.
3. If I do get an internship, then I'll give up my dream of going to Australia and just go to UTLA second semester.

haha watch none of that happen...

Heroes premieres tomorrow!!! ... and Go Cowboys!!

burn baby burn

ACL was on fiyah! that was the craziest fire i've ever witnessed and it was the climax of my acl experience haha. there were a lot of great bands and new music that i got to hear while walking around the park. I particularly loved M.I.A.'s set. She was awesome!

So I officially joined ABSA last week. The meeting had reps from Wells Fargo and they basically went through the 'How to Work a Career Fair' seminar, which was quite nice to hear from an actual recruiter. I'm also looking to join another business org...maybe American Marketing Association??

Career Expo is Wednesday!!! I didn't attend last year so I'm quite anxious to see how it goes. I did go to Scoring Careers last spring but that was a lot smaller than what Wednesday will bring. I'm sad that I left my nice resume paper at home in dallas...I'm also really not looking forward to wearing my suit. I don't mind the heat...it's just that I have flat feet and my dress shoes really kill them. I'm curious to see how long I'll last haha!

In other news, Heroes and Ugly Betty premieres next week!

I'm hungry

I went to the Study Abroad fair at McCombs yesterday and I really want to leave the country now. Talking to all the exchange students really got me excited about traveling and exploring different environments. I'm thinking of either going the second semester of Junior year or the first semester of Senior year. Or maybe go on the CIBER program to Paris next summer. ooooo the excitement...

Tomorrow is the start of ACL and I'm going for free! Well I'm going to be volunteering for 4 hours each day, but we're going to work with the media outlets and artist/publicist relations so I should have some interesting stories to tell after Sunday. I'm really excited to see the Killers again! I got to see them last spring when they came to play at the Erwin Center and they totally blew up the stage. Unfortunately because of ACL, i'm going to miss my team's first IM football game on Sunday. =((((

My apartment is ALMOST done!! yay! They just re-painted our walls. Now they just have to replace one of the wooden tiles and it's all set!

My classes have been running pretty smoothly so I'm thinking of enrolling in an ACC class as well. Time to make up for the classes I didn't take while in LA this past summer...




Time to go to my first ABSA meeting!

9-11

bad mina

so i'm sitting in the mil lab (since i still don't have internet) and i just realized i didn't go to any club meetings this week. mannnnnnnnnnn. living off campus really does make a difference in club participation haha. but i'm still planning on joining ABSA since i've heard a lot of great things from my friends about it. as for the business frats, i don't think i'm going to go through with it. the idea of rushing scares me so much. not what they would make us do, but more of the time commitment you have to put into it...

is anyone thinking of studying abroad? i kind of want to do the EUSA program where you intern in London, that would really interesting. Or i might do the UTLA program where i get to go back to LA for an internship. OR just do a regular study abroad program to Australia. oh the choices! i'm not sure how i'm going to decide on one :(

this weekend should be fun! my IM football team is having practice tomorrow. I'm so pumped! i love IM sports. Quite obsessed actually. but I feel like our team is good this year so hopefully I'll be proudly wearing an IM champions tshirt by the end of the semester. I'm also going to IKEA with my roomie to get more furniture in our bare apartment, which is always fun :P ... and of course another football game! ooo and britney spears is supposedly opening for the VMA's on sunday...now THAT should be interesting.

i don't know if i said this before...but i really like youtube. and harry potter.

Chaos

The first week of school is over and thank God we don't have school tomorrow!

I finally got to move out of the hotel and into my new apartment! There still are workers that come in at 9 in the morning drilling things into my walls...and i don't have internet/cable set up...or a bed/desk/drawer in my room...or even a couch in the living room...but other than that i'm quite pleased with the place :D

My classes turned out pretty good. I'm most looking forward to Fundamentals of Acting. My teacher is really chill and we got to make some group skits on our first class day. It seems like it's going to be a really fun class. I'm least looking forward to accounting 312...ughhhh maybe it's because i despised 311 so much. I feel like i forgot most of 311 over the summer anyways...

My interview last week went pretty well. It was pretty easy actually...just talked about my resume and just had some general questions. But if i don't get the position, then I think I might rush for one of the business frats. Since my schedule is pretty easy and free, this semester would seem like the time to do it if I wanted to join. So basically next week I'm going to try to visit alot of club meetings...yay for free food!!

I also went to the football game yesterday. I'm a little worried about this season...but hopefully they were just having an off day =/

OOOO so since I'm on my laptop i'll put up some pics from my summer in LA:

Homeless

Yup...a great way to start off the new semester! My apartment in west campus keeps delaying our move-in date so I think I'll get settled in by Friday... I hope.

So I'm writing this in PCL with sweat dripping down my forehead...I forgot what Texas heat was like. I've been in LA this whole summer interning with an online marketing company and the weather was sooooooo nice. I really want to go back, especially now that my sister is working out there :D...The internship itself was pretty good...it was quite tiring but I definitely got a lot of experience out of it, which I guess is the whole point of an internship...

I am really not looking forward to this week, other than the fact that I don't have a real place to live right now, I have an interview on Thursday for an internship for this semester, and i'm NOT ready at all. I really wish I had more time to smoothly settle in for this year but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen till next week.

BUT other than that, I am happy to be back in Austin and to see everyone again!

I wanted to post some pics from Cali, but that's going to have to wait till I have my laptop..and internet. lol. but here's a clip that's been going around the web lately. I don't think I'm the best at interviews...but this is just awesome:
