welp

Well, it's official. I'm not going to Unofficial this weekend :( It's kind of bittersweet thought.
I really wanted to see the boyfriend, but I guess I can get studying done for next weekend and just relax and SLEEP IN. Ok, I guess i'm excited for that :)

In other news, this past weekend the Archaeology club and I went on a trip to the Field Museum in Chicago to get a (wait for it) BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR OF THE ARTIFACTS! omg it made my life. I am not at all ashamed to say that I had an emotional moment standing right in front of Egyptian Artifacts from over 100 k years ago. holy shit it was amazing. This just completely solidifies what I want to do with the rest of my life. :)

All in all a pretty solid weekend :) now to study and getter done so I can relax on spring break with my bestie in Vancouver :)

Life as we know it

Being as it is Friday, I shall summarize my week.

Monday: VALENTINE'S DAY! and it was lovely for the mere fact that I absolutely LOVE holidays :) Sadly I received no gifts or tokens of love from the boyfriend, although we don't really do valentine's day anyway so it's all good. The day in general was pretty chill. Had two classes: Art in the Italian Renaissance (pretty boring unless we are looking at paintings) and my Middle East and Mediterranean class--Learning about Alexander the Great is always a pleasure--especially since I already know most about him-Spoiler: he died in 323 BCE.

Tuesday: Busy day class wise. Had four and all were pretty meh. In one I had an exam: PASSED! and in another (Neandertal Enigma--yea the name is pretty much awesome) we talked about the Kropina Neadertal finds--all I can say is that that class is probs my fav. right now. Dr. Franciscus is the shit. On a different note, Glee was new this week and it was delightful. Also (i'm bringing my nerdiness out) it was almost tribal-esk. Seeing as I live with a house of girls it is no surprise that we watch Glee, but it's the way that we watch it that is entertaining in itself. We sit around the tv and listen closely to the show and try and figure things out, things that aren't shown. I relate this to tribal behavior. It's similar to the way in which some cultural tribes sit around and speak oral traditions that have been passed down.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Finn and Puck. But the tribal analogy sounds so much better :)

Wednesday: Same classes as monday. pretty boring, nothing interesting at all.

Thrusday: Now yesterday was interesting. The temperature hit a whopping 60 (HEAT WAVE!) and I decided to break in my new Sperry's. MISTAKE. I now have huge blisters on the back of my heals mocking me for my valiant efforts to look cute on a nice spring day. However, towards the evening vampire diaries was on and it was spectacular. Yes I am one of those girls who watches those shows :) and damn proud!

Today (friday): Although I thought today would be different, a nice day to start fresh and maybe feel a little better about myself, i was sadly mistaken. I was off to a rough start with some unpleasant news...thought going for a run would help. FAIL--running whilst having a cold is never a good idea..note to self. Not only that, but now I have official "duties" to do, which suck. ALSO homework. today is just fabulous--not. I thought being in college would take me away from drama..not true--never believe that bull shit. On the plus side, I am going out for sushi tonight :) and spending the rest of the night watching movies with people in my house that I actually care to talk to and hang out with.


WOOT--well now that my rant is over (at least for friday) I shall get back to my plans for the day. HOMEWORK and studying (the most important things in my life)//besides the boyfriend of course ;).

Hopefully I can update this thing regularly. It gives me a place to vent :)
