Forever and a day
So it's been forever since I updated this journal. I decided that it is time again to get back into writing here.
I have a killer religion midterm on Tuesday that I am trying to study for, so far to limited success. I am taking a break from that to write here...
We have a new kitten friend, Charlie. (*Nee Beauregard, adopted as Titan...now he's Charles Xavier Darwin Newton) And he's a great friend, but sometimes he has accidents. Even with a mostly clean litter box he sometimes goes right outside it. Does anyone who has cats have a suggestion as to why he does this and what we can do about it? Other than that and the occasional wire chewing he's a great guy! Just the right mixture of playfulness and loving. :)
and...It's finally getting warmer!!!!
Oh, and thanks to Tom I am now hooked on ANTM. I know it's ironic since he (I think) stopped watching the show. But this season looks like it's going to be the same as the rest, catty and full of drama/stupid girls/fun. I still think they should do a girl and guy or all guy version. I personally vote for all guy hosted by Nigel, how awesome (hott) would that be?
And I know people still like Grey's but I find it getting a little boring and old. I still hate Christina, and I still think Meredith has too many problems, and I still think they need to develop a few characters more. They should do what they did on Lost, focus on one person and expand their story for a whole episode. I want to find out more about Callie and Dr. Bailey. I guess I feel like the show is just getting kind of boring...
This is the first time I am living by myself in a real (non-dorm) residence for more than a day. It's fun and a little scary at times. It was scary at night, and it has been hard cooking for just one person, but otherwise things are going well. It's actually neater now and I am focusing on keeping it that way. And I have been more productive. It's all good...but I miss Ryan.
So my friend Rachel will be graduating in Dec rather than May, and the school has found a whole new way to screw her over. With too many freshman coming (too many in the class of 2010 and too many expected in 2011...wow 2011, that's scary) they have decided that anyone in a 5th year CANNOT live on campus. We have a program called Take5 where you can take a year of schooling free (other than room and board) and take the classes you didn't have time for due to your major etc, and now those people, and people like Rachel who needed an extra semester due to other reasons beyond her control, have no place to go. Rachel wants to graduate now but again other things by the school wont let her! It's not like we have easy off campus housing that is within walking distance to the school...no, it's a bus ride away or a car ride. Unless you want to live in the special places like the "ecohouse".
I thought the UR Screw was tightened as far as it could go, but I was wrong. Oh, and they still REQUIRE freshman and sophomores to live on campus. I don't understand.
And that's all on the Rochester front.
