I wanna live...
Um, so I had a fun dream this morning...
First off, my alarm clock turns off if you hit snooze for an hour...which I do regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I don't always realize that I'm on my last "snooze" so sometimes I just go back to sleep and wake up like forever later...
So, this morning was one of those times...I had a dream that I slept through my first two classes and rearranged my day to get other things done, and I was like all proud of myself in my dream for doing so much after over sleeping...then I woke up and it was 8:30 and I hadn't overslept. Well, I mean I did cause my class is at 9 but I usually don't go until like 10 so I was doing pretty well. But I was disappointed cause in my dream I got to sleep and when I woke up I was still tired. Sad. But I went to school anyway. I was nice in class and talked to some girls while we processed our film. I've become quite knowledgable about "growing up" type things like insurance and all that so I shared my knowledge as we all cried about how we are in for a complete shock when we enter the "real world."
Moving right along...
So, when I went away to school my mom kept reiterating the importance of sucking up to my teachers, but I always blew her off cause I thought that was ridiculous, and plus when I was at UCF I was usually 1 out of like 300 students so there was no need to suck up to the teachers cause they wouldn't remember you anyway. But, last year I finally started taking her advice and mannnn it has finally paid off!!! For the past couple of weeks I have been planting seeds with Dr. Z about the final because well originally it was supposed to be cumulative, but I wouldn't have that so I helped convince him to change his mind of that...but then our final is scheduled to be the Tuesday of finals week and it would be my ONLY final...um, yeah, no thanks. So, I've been trying to hint around for like an "alternative assignment" or whatever so I wouldn't have to show up for finals week...because really, there's no need for things like that...sooooo....today, I'm walking to class and this guy that was in my freaking group for the abortion thing comes up to me (I'm afraid he's going to be one of those ones that tries to get me to go out with him and I'll say yes cause I'm afraid to tell him no) so I'm like freaking out, but it was ok...so we were just talking about class and I was like I think today I'm going to convince Dr. Z not to give us a final...so he's alllll like yeah right good luck with that one...whatever...So, we go to class and before we start I was being all sweet (awww) but yet somewhat desperate and I was like, "Dr Z...is there ANY amount of money that we could pay you not to give us a final?" And he starts CRACKING UP...so I know I have been successful...well, kinda...I also offered him my kidney. So, he was like well, I'll have to look over the grades to see if a final would help people out a lot...ummmm probably NOT! But we're having a party on the last day of class which is my birthday, so he said he'd bring candles haha. Ahhh life's rough being the teacher's pet. Seriously, PBA is such a joke. At what college can you offer your teacher your kidney not to have a final and he even considers it????? HA! Oh well, at least I'm getting out of there (well, hopefully)...This weekend will be spent playing catch up like crazy.
Um, so my Values class was kinda cool today. I'm glad I chose today to go (I'm only going once a week now) because there weren't presentations so we did this little activity like if you only had 12 months to live what would you want to accomplish. Normally, I'm like eh whatever who cares...what are the odds of that REALLY happening, etc etc etc...but today I took it seriously and I'm glad I did. It was fun...everyone should do it cause for the most part these are things that really aren't limited to doing only in the next 12 months or like if my life is running out or whatever...just things I'd like to accomplish I guess? It was very "A Walk to Remember"-ish and I thought about saying "be in two places at once" but I didn't want to irritate the teacher since I was on such a good suck up streak...so here's my list (in no particular order):
- Make peace with people who have a problem with me...
- Tell people how much I care.
- Start an AMAZING new youth program.
- Get a tattoo.
- Visit all 50 states.
- Go to Italy, France, and England.
- Sell my house and other possession so no one has to take care of all that (then give the money I make for the building project).
- Start a tradition.
- Go on a cruise with everyone I want.
- Memorize 1 John and 1 Corinthians
- Ask other people what they want to do with me "one last time" so they don't have to look back and be like, man I wish I could have done ______ with Erin one last time...
- Watch the ball drop in NY on New Years and go ice skating at Rockefeller Center.
- Take all my clothes to a 3rd world country.
(((((I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
And shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'.
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' go down swingin'.
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give:
I wanna live.)))))
Fun stuff.
Um, I think that's all I have for today...oh but here's the question of the day, and I appologize ahead of time if this is ignorant or whatever, but I seriously have been wondering this:
Ok, so you know how homeless people always hold up signs that are on the back of someone's sign on the side of the road or a cardboard box or whatever? Right, ok. So, where do they get the markers to write on them???????????
