Eat all the Big Mac's you can find!!
hey, there really is a little sense behind the saying that countries that have Mcdonalds don't go to war- the wife of the founder once funded a peace studies program! Isn't that so funny?!! That was the best insight I got from any if my classes today! :) I don't know if there's something into the starbucks in the same countries.. I'm happy now! Current Mood:  amused |

January: Just so everybody knows, I'm going to have to be back at school this weekend (I'm not sure about saturday, but definitely at least sunday) because unlike you, school starts next week for me- not fun confirmation stuff. February: There's not really much to say
It's been a regular week at school. Kindof boring on the whole. Went to Dairy Queen on Tuesday night instead of eating cafeteria food. Always good. March: I don't like schedule conflicts. Will follow up later April: And all I can do is *sigh* contentedly. May: Let me just say WOW! WOW! can I say it again? June: It's just about midnight and I kinda want to paint. Am I crazy? July: I'm so glad I was born to write. I understand certain moments to be little pieces of heaven, a sneek preview, so to speak! :) All of you, se quiero. I love you. August: why do i have to live on a street where there are apparently a lot of skunks around, and the smell seems to be thick in the air at night? September: I feel like my nails have grown too much, even if they are only a sliver above my fingertips. I shall clip them soon.... that is all! October: I feel strange right now. I haven't always been very social at all, but this year I'm starting to be quite social. At the same time, I know that I am doing my homework, but I don't seem to be a perfectionist about it, at least in the sense that other things are more of a priority. In the long run, I always get the homework that I need to done, but I don't usually feel very accomplished when I've finished or focused. Maybe I'm just learning how to do homework a different way (it's called skimming...) :) November: I have my psych project done, and need 2 write about 2 more pages to my about 10 pg. paper and my daily homework for tomorrow, do my chore (tomorrow) and then I get to go home! I'll be 20 in 2 days!!!!!!!!! December: I have a group presentation in like 2 hours. Wish me luck please! can't wait to get it over with. :) yay for weekend! All in all, my journal entries have been either very random, or on a one-track-line-of-thought, meaning school. Most of that is due to the fact that they are all short (and sometimes sweet) and I do better writing longer in emails. :0) In summation, I have gone from having a roommate who usually ignored me to living with a house sold with 8 other girls who love me:); from waking up at 5:40 in the morning to waking up at 10:00-11:30 in the morning; from working at a bakery to working at the library; from knowing just English and Spanish to knowing some Chinese and French as well; and last but probably most important from not having a major at all to having 2 majors (Spanish and International Studies). I had a very good year, as difficult as it was, and of course I'm looking forward to the new one more than ever. At least with the lucky number seven, we don't have to worry about the unluck y2k. :) Happy New Year everybody! Cheers! |

Me: you're treading water Dad: Oh, I'm on thin ice? Me: (Well if you want to mix metaphors that have the same meaning, than..) yeah Dad: So which one is it, am I treading water or on thin ice? I can't be both in and on at the same time can I? Me: Both, either way, you are about to sink if you go any farther. Either the ice you're standing on is about to break and you'll fall in, or you will be too tired to swim anymore and then you sink. Me: amused laugh Dad: Awkward laugh. moving on... hence, the moral lesson of the story is: don't try to catch me making mixed metaphors cause I'll beat you anyway and you'll dig your own hole and bury yourself in it (speaking of metaphors:0) Current Mood: amused |

I found a book! Well, not a novel, but still, a book. "In Other Words" yay! anyway. I thought I'd post a cool word that I think describes Sigmund Freud's work wonderfully (It's German, of course!): Schadenfreude-- "Schaden" means "damage" and "Freude" means joy. It literally means the kind of enjoyment that one has from seeing someone else's misery. I'm amazed at how well, although Freud is not just "joy", his appellido can attach itself to this other word and become perfectly appropriate of his life's work. Wow! Summing up Freud in one word. Also, I am very curious as to why my German-Russian Mennonite tradition call the new year's cookies (fried dough balls with raisins) that we make "oliebollen". Instead we call them "Portzilkia" which I am unable to find a definition of any kind, so I must be spelling it wrong, however, I think I'm getting close to understanding the connection as it sounds a little Russian to me. Ha! what fun in finding the history of a people in words and food! Anyway, that was my nerdy journal for the week. :) see y'all sometime in the near future! Current Mood:  artistic |

The windshield wipers of my car stopped today. My dad thinks a fuse burnt out. Now I don't get to use it and I never thought the day would come when I would actually miss my car. But I do. In other news, my computer battery doesn't work unless I put pressure on it. I know, it doesn't make sense. anyway, that's all. Current Mood:  nostalgic |

I'm predicting that I'll get half Bs, half As. As: Tennis (only 1 credit), French (3-4 credits) possibly Christian Foundations (3-4 credits- I don't remember exactly). B's (maybe even 1 c): Biology, Pscychology, International Relations (all 3-4 credits). I'm not expecting a whole batch of A's this semester. I just want to get it over with basically. :) Current Mood:  YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!! |

Next week is finals week. I think it will be very stressfull. To say the least... Even if it is the last week of school, I think that's why they have to make it so stressfull so if you weren't ready to leave before, you will be. Current Mood:  ?? nervous |
