lalalalala I AM SOUND

Options: read for class or update blog.

Clearly, we know what I chose. Yay for being responsible!

In other news, I dropped my pen in class today and it made a spot on my lovely light blue/white stripped polo shirt that I love and it was very boo hisssssssss.

Fair Trade starts on Wednesday! Sort of; we have a booth at the activities fair. Meetings don't start until next Tuesday. Whatevs though.

I am very tired because instead of sleeping last night I put on my headphones and rocked out to fabulous music by the Dandy Warhols. They are definitely my favorite band at the moment. On my iTunes top 25 played list, 11 of the songs are by the Dandys. A sign of their superiority? Clearly.

Carroll starts today. Bwa ha ha high school. Kyle has Mrs. Prado for two classes, one each day. This is very good, because a Prado a day makes your life awesome.

I think I shall be going home this weekend because a) it is Labor Day weekend and b) it is my parent's . . . 27th wedding anniversery. Kind of a big deal. Like me.

Our room is awesome. So is EBay, where I found some great posters for our room (one of Cream and one of The Who and Jefferson Airplane) and an amazing t-shirt (Jefferson Airplane Loves You) so yippee for me. Also, while getting a book for my Jew. Lit. Class on Amazon.com (because our bookstore burned down and therefore lacks the proper facilities to have the books we all need) I found the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice for $20, clearly a great investment of time and money, considering it's like six hours long and AWESOME.

My roommate bought a book for $43 and just returned it for $50. It makes me want to return my books and then use the extra money to do something awesome, like getting new windshield wipers.

La ti da.

I do not like having to read Holocaust memoirs 2-3 times a year for class. Why? Because they are disturbing and such. And I understand why, but seriously, it's a bit much.

Our campus has a giant hole where grass and parking lots used to be. We are calling it Texas Construction University. Ridiculous.

I love the Dandys Warhols. And they probably love me too, since the Dandy Warhols Love Almost Everyone.

strawberry fields forever!


I like having the record player in our room. Yay Beatles!

In other news, I have a ridiculously large amount of reading/homework considering it is only the first week. And it will only increase from this point forward. However, I am enjoying it and I've split it up between days/hours/etc. so that it's not too bad. Give me a month and I'll probably be going insane, but right now it's all good.

Last night we went to this super cool coffee bar that had live music and most excellent coffee. Je l'aime.

And then we came back, did ridiculous things in the dorm, and played Wheel of Fortune on the Super Nintendo.

This morning Kate and I went to brunch at the Botanical Gardens. We thought it was $20 but really it was $13.95. Yay! And it was um delicious. And gorgeous. And then, on the way back to my room, a random guy from the hall stopped to ask why I was dressed up and tell me that I looked nice. Um, yay. Needless to say, Kate and I looked fabulous, as we always do. When we go out that is. Otherwise...hmmm it gets interesting.

Alex and I went to the Rec Center to get the schedules for yoga classes and they start on Monday. Or on Tuesday, depending on the timing. I forgot . Clearly.

I am kind of tired. mmmmm Diet Coke.

Sarah and I may go to this cool vintage store later today and see if they have anything nifty for our dorm room. Or for us. We shall have to seeeeee.

ok the end.

ridiculous

Jane Austen novels are simply fabulous. Well, Pride and Prejudice is simply fabulous. I have yet to read any others, but hopefully they will be as delightful and ridiculous as this one.

I have rather large amounts of reading to attend to on a variety of subjects, mainly of the historical and englishal nature.

I got new shoes yesterday. The box says they are "trucker tribal brown trucker flannel." Despite this odious description, I think they are lovely.

I need some new Birki knockoffs because I cannot afford $80 sandahls and my old ones are falling apart. Also, they smell weird.

We are searching, probably in vain, for a ten foot poster to grace our wall. I will be very excited if we find one. Hopefully it will be of something neat.

Tomorrow is my roomie's birthday! Very exciting. Hopefully we are going out downtown and doing something ridiculous and fun. As is our custom.

This morning Thomas and I went to what he said was a flute concert but was really a flute masterclass! Evil Thomas!! But we had fun. I just read Pride and Prejudice the entire time and he was studious and took notes on music and stuff. And we saw Christine! Overall, a very enjorable experience.

I have decided that having a record player and a Super Nintendo in my room makes me one of the coolest people ever. Some may think this claim vain and ridiuculous, but that does not mean it is any less truthful.

Tonight, perhaps Alex and I shall go to Panther City or Central Market to be hip and listen to live music while drinking coffee, or Jones Soda, depending.

Favorite TCU idiot girl outfit of the week:
flip flops, cheer style shorts, sorority shirt (usually pink), full make-up, hair straightened and then either a) down or b) put up into a dumb, sloppy looking ponytail to give that "I just got out of bed" look, but really took an hour to do, and wearing pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. Seriously. That is just tacky.

This weekend I shall spend trying to get ahead on my reading for class (so that next week I will be able to start my research papers and not, um die), watching some movies, Grey's Anatomy repeats on Sunday night, brunch with Kate on Sunday day, celebtrating Sarah my roommate being 19, and generally being awesome.

I am super glad to be back at school. Lovely.
