Friday

Well I suppose its Friday and i haven't eaten dinner yet, but its still a little early. Went to many hours of class today. Kicked my assignment's but last night. Its only my 4th design idea for the same project. I had to go to two different non class lectures today. One was of the Landscape Architects Directors board, the othe was of Topher Delaney, the queen of Landscape Architecture, so. "I just HAD to go" Look her up, she's like the Frank Lloyd Wright of LA, but she calls herself a gardener, artist, and anthropologist, but never a Landscape Architect. And well, i think i am going to Best buy tonight to get a drive cleaner for my puter. Its just not cool when every CD you burn skips. I also need some groceries, so those two are close by and I know jeff will join me, we'll take a pic of Jon's stool and the like. Plus, I don't think Jeff would pass up a trip to Best Buy if he were on his death bed.....the nerd. Aight, well, i think i am off to go get some din din so i don't go shopping hungry, cause we all know its a bad idea. Oh and i will prob be going to Phantom with Kirstin and Billy and Peeps Tomm. just to fill yall in cause this weekend will be busy and i don't think i will remember all that i do.....I'm out

Tuesday night

Well yesterday, i can't really remember much of, I know i spent many hours in lab and then came back for some grilled cheese sandwich and to rearrange my room. I recieve some rather disturbing news however. My friend from high school had attempted suicide on Sunday evening and had been on life support all day. He passed late last night. I wish i knew what he was thinking. He always seemed so happy in high school. A witty and interesting addition to any conversation, he will always be remembered. Farewell my friend.

Sun evening

Well, we all know I have been sick, but now that I am finally feeling healthy, other than a nagging ear infection, I can fill everyone in on the happenings of this past weekend. On friday, brenda's friend taryn drove up, and we played some good old fashioned dvd board games. On Saturday, Brenda Taryn jessica and I went up the coast to Cayucas and looked at the Tide pools, I got attacked by a crab and we were followed by a family and a pair of chocolate labs. When we headed back due tot he returning tide, the family asked us if the dogs were theirs. Indeed they were not. This pair of dogs had happily followed us out into the pools swimming to the birds and around the corner, out of sight and earshot of anyone that could be their owners. When we got back tot he beach, the owners were not to be found. We called the phone # on "Tony's" tag and there was no asnswer. WE left the dogs in the watch of a family that was spending the day at the beach, and i hope their owners found them. We then left and headed up the coast to san simeon to watch the sea elephants. Again, there were thousands, with small newborn pups. After just a few min, we actually got to see a live birth, steamy and wet, in all its glory. :/ We also got to see the other end of the reproduction cycle (i'm sure you can assume what i mean) and males fighting in all their fat glory. We headed back to san luis to nap and then head to smile and nod, it was wonderful show. Then we played a game of poker, i bought out after i broke even after an hour, i was tired and did not feel like losing money because of it. I went to bed and then woke up today to work on my project for LA 252. using one of the 7 deadly sins and 7 virtues i needed to redue, dexter lawn. I used fortitude and sloth, using both martha schwartz and robert smithson. I know that means nothing to you, but it will help me remember looking at this years from now. Well, have talked quite a bit, so i am out.

Hmmm, Wed, i suppose

I have not updated due to well, numerous reasons, but mainly due to what i thought was strep, but it turned out not being so. On Wednesday of last week, after feeling a little tired and a nap, i went to La 311, onloy to find that 20 min, in, i felt very faint. Well, needless to say, i passed out with 30 some onlookers, Astrid, my prof, dismissed the class and stayed with me while Andrea a \nothe rclassmate talked me through. a policeman came and so did the ambulance, but i refused a ride and went backt o my room to basically lay down until today, when i started working on long overdue porjects, i feel a little out of sorts, but i think i will be much better come tomm, not tired yet, but i will get a good nights rest and hopefully keep jeff from feeling worse than he already is tomm.

Thursday

Well I am almost done with my first week of winter quarter. I can't complain though. I like my classes and the studying and homework consists of projects. Me Likey. Well My dad would be proud of me. I have stopped drinking soda, well atleast i have not bought it. I am setting a limit to only drink soda when I go out to make it more rewarding for myself. I am currently trying to begin to like coffee, but i fear that might be a very long and hard process for me as i abhore the stuff. But i must admit i did finish a whole mug of it yesterday, well then it did have some cream, you need to give me some time and maybe it will happen. :) I'm out.

Umm Tues the 4th

Hmm, well today started off just peachily. Got woken up by the fire alarm going of at 930 in the morning. Fun fun. We waited outside to have the CA's tell us it was not in fact a fire but someone burnt their toast. Yeah, stupid huh? well. Did not get back to sleep. Then went to class at 1 and got another assignment, which i am currently taking abreak from. I am making a topograpohic map of a toilet flushing. Weird huh? Oh well, that's me, I'm out.

Well went to Minn. for Xmas, no internet, little cell reception and little heat, fun fun. Came back early and helped tiin with the flowers. Today started up classes and such, learned i needed to drop one, but that will open up my schedule, so i shouldn't complain, aight, i'm out....
