so the orange juice tap at breakfast was being contrary and hardly put any water in and i'm going to be tasting orange all day. could be worse i guess. or better - like that chocolaty after taste from baileys... mmm
if i were at home id be so proud of myself - fourth consecutive week of consistently going to the gym four or five times a week! i was chuffed at the end of week two. now im starting to get discouraged - you know, not looking very bikini model yet. now, i knew that i wouldnt be lean and mean immediately but i've worked hard man. guys have it so much easier. and they look better with a little chub. i don't actually want to look totally bikini model (god made curves for a reason...) but as that's unlikely i'll just keep going the way im going and might at least be buff by the time i get home. And then i can buy little heels to celebrate and they make my legs look nice. and yay! new heels and nice legs. no ones complaining.
alright, shallow conversation over. icky week for all here in the big US of A, in the little Laramie of Wyoming. Well, the cowboys won but other than that... my poor roommate lost an entire roll of film and her computer lost five pages of essay before she saved it. i gave her LOTS of hot chocolate. well, not much water in there but LOTS of powder. and then made up things that would be fun to write in an essay just to make your teacher laugh, or scowl... of fail you. but fun to speculate about. my week hasn't been quite THAT bad. but heaps to do. spent all monday preparing for Africa Since 1800 class that evening - prepared presentation, did reading, and weren't called on to present so wasted time... but wasn't that well prepared so perhaps a blessing in disguise. rats, i was trying to be negative. okay, so yesterday spent entire day reading frustrating but insightful book - historiography of America called The End of American History and wrote notes so i might retain some of what i read. Then possibly made idiot of self in class speculating about how America has this ideo of 'manifest destiny' - that they're god's chosen ppl blah blah blah - and it's interesting that NZ has nothing like that even though it too was basically colonized by missionaries and is a faily new nation... Turns out i didn't even know when NZ got independence! Embarrassing. And before the treaty of waitangi, it turns out.
Ah well, picked up stacks of book for same class so i can prepare for next week as its my turn to write a paper and lead the discussion. Help! Going away for weekend! When am i supposed to do that exactly? today?
Can't. Have 5 page paper due tomorrow - describing a toy with almost ridiculous detail for Material Culture. Kind of fun, in a weird masochistic kind of way, kind of like learning italian for fun at summer school when you don't even need the points for your degree. Woohoo.
So, in response to pressures of life... i bought sense and sensibility on dvd and its in the mail. and i booked a 1/2 hour massage at the health centre on friday. and i bid on season 1 dvds of lois and clark. mmm... superman is rather nice.
and today i'm going to be uberproductive and write whole paper, concise and brilliant, exposing the proffessor to my simmering genius, then look up this computer i'm looking at buying to check out prices and find out if the radio shack guy was yanking my chain. i wouldn't put it past him. so busy flirting he didn't load my cellphone right and i had to figure it out myself. good thing i am a genius. but he didn't know that. boys eh? maybe i shouldn't buy the computer on principle. but if it really is $400 cheaper then principles schminciples i'm afraid.
so, off to start on the conscientious plan. and make coffee. and pluck eyebrows. and too much information.
