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 :)

January 24th
Ha. wow. forgot i had this thing lol.
anyway. Seeing as i don't really have any followers it doesn't really matter what i say on here, so i'll just talk about my life as of right now.
Second semester of sophomore year started last week. I'm surprised as to how fast college is going by...I guess i should take advantage of this time while it is in front of me. I'm taking pretty awesome classes this semester. Really intriguing..these classes make me think and keep my mind busy, which is a nice change of pace. Probably one of my favorite classes is my Art in Italian Renaissance: we talk about Italy during that time period; the artists. It's remarkable. Probably the only reason i'm interested in that is due (in large) by my humanities teacher and a person i consider a very close friend of mine (oh yea. shout out to you ms. schild..seeing as you are probably going to be the only one reading this haha). Just like in my first day of humanities, we learned about the definition of art...and this is what my professor came up with, "Art must be a part of the idea or context of the composer...art must be understood in the same mindset as to the time period it was constructed.." maybe you can use that in your class? :)
I'm also learning about how anthropology is used in contemporary world problems such as: genocide, eating disorders/diabetes, disasters etc. It's truly quite fascinating.
Along side that, i have applied for an internship in the National museum of Natural history at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.. I'm supposed to be hearing back from them shortly, so "cross fingers" i hope i get it!
In other news. I am now the Chapter Life VP (second in command) of my sorority :) and although it comes with tough decisions and complications, i love it.
I don't know what else to discuss...It's cold here in Iowa City haha. To be expected in January in the Midwest.
All in all, life is wonderful. I do not think i have been this content and happy in quite some time. I'm taking advantage of it and loving every minute of it :)
I appreciate those of you who read this. Until next time.
xoxo

Update!
Wow, it's been over a month since i've updated this thing! haha. So much as gone on. SPRING BREAK! was awesome, i visited phil at U of I and went to Cali to visit my sister Katie :). amazing, end of story. Then came back to school :( but phil visited yesterday and left today so that made things a lot better :). Spent a lot of time with the family, which was needed. And just a couple days ago i received a care popcorn package from my parents for EASTER! yummmmmmmy :). So far this semester is going great. i'm doing amazing in my classes and overall, it's going splendid.
I've also discovered a new love for organic "yuppy" food! And i'm addicted to smittenkitchen.com. omg it's amazing. Also food network...i used to watch it a lot, but now it's an addiction. Same with The big bang theory...ugggg if only i had a working TV!!!!!!!
well i know these are kinda boring, but this is my life :) and i love it...so YEAH! :) <3
toodles!

Lazy Saturday
I wouldn't mind it so much if I didn't have a crap ton of homework to get done. For people that say semesters get harder as you move on are very true. I don't even have class on friday and yet the classes I am taking are encompassing most of my time. It gets frustrating...but se la vi, life goes on. I wouldn't call myself THAT lazy, I mean, although I haven't left my room (except to use the restroom), I have been working on homework. I would like to get done as much as possible due to the prior engagement I have later this evening. aka: BARS! :)
I was looking at my calendar today and it's only a short 19 days until I have SPRING BREAK! I cannot believe it. Then after spring break it's only a month and 2 weeks until this semester is over! wow, I definitely didn't expect my first year of college to go by so fast. If all of the years a like this, then I will be on my own sooner than I anticipated. Which, to me, is a scary thought. I mean seriously. I'll be 20 in 6 months...i'm not a teenager anymore..I can say, i'm in my 20's...THAT'S SO WEIRD..strange, unusual, different (any other word that would describe how i am feeling).
While having this revelation of how short college is, was the revelation that I, sara, NEEDS A JOB! GAHHHH like i'm not kidding. I need money. I've been applying everywhere for over summer vacation and haven't had a response back yet...(crossing fingers) i hope i get one. Being jobless sucks over the summer, especially when all of your friends have jobs and your just sitting at home doing NOTHING. Even though i will be taking summer school at COD, it still isn't the same. I need mulah mucho y PRONTO! Using the padres money just doesn't seem right now. I want to spend my own urned money, and save up enough so that i can live!!!! (or buy a car :)).
Well I believe I am done ranting for right now, but i will keep updating as my adventures progress in my life!
Adios!

Life in the fast lane
You can say that again. Lo siento for the HUGE gap in time span from my last post, I kinda forgot about this thing, but i'll start up again :).
GAHH I cannot believe it is already second semester already, and almost HALF WAY THROUGH! Only 20 days till I go home for spring break! I now believe college is going to go very fast.
The semester schedule seems a lot harder than last semester. Although I do not have classes on Fridays, it seems like everything is crammed into 4 days and it's just a lot harder. Two night classes (FYI: there are many creepy people in Iowa City past 9 at night...).
I have a new roommate this semester. She's pretty cool. She goes out....a lot, but then again, who doesn't... ;).
Well I guess I will make this post a short. I'll make sure the next ones are longer.
Chao!
