Right now, I think I'm feeling the effects of stress more than anything else. Hopefully, things will improve after this week, though goodness knows what will happen while I'm at home. Seems things are OK there, other than this being the time of year where colds migrate from my sisters' classrooms to them to the rest of the family, so if I come back with a bug in my system, I won't be terribly suprised. Ah well. Such is life.

Back to work!

Bis Spater!

Quiz time...

Your element is Rain: Sad, lonely, distant and
unique. You are quite distant from emotion and
people, but you have been made this way by one
thing or another. You are truly unique yet fail
to see it, and are quite creative be it in art,
music, writing, etc. You used to let people in
now you don't even bother to try having been
hurt so many times in the past. Your attitude
is that you don't need anyone but yourself,
people are just trouble waiting to happen. But
you really do want to trust someone no matter
if you see it or not, deep down your waiting
for someone to come and set you free. This kind
of depression can turn dangerous, don't let
them get to you. Not everyone in the world will
hurt you, humans are humans and are not
perfect. So most likely sooner or later you'll
meet someone who feels like you do and perhaps
your shell will eventually disappear.

You are a dark girl. You have a really quiet and
really an i dont' care attitude. You like to be
alone and that is what you enjoy. You don't
like to be around others and you'd rather be
away from here. You have a get away from me
look and others find you bitchy and
self-rightious. You'd rather read than be at a
fair but that's ok because that's who you are.

Huh?

You are an earth Dragon! You have a knack for
Nature or animals, and are peaceful, careful,
chariming, and optimistic. You can throw a
tantrum now or then, but who doesnt? You value
simple things in life, such as friends,
familly, and Nature.


What elemental dragon are you?

You are Dark

You are a dark person.
Secretive, and a bit depressed. It's either by
problems in your life, or your attitude towards
things. People feel depressed or sad whenever
they're around you, but it's what you think
right? Don't care about what other people
think? I agree with you on that, but do take
care.

Independence

Your angel seeks for freedom.
Your angel is part of you. Thus, you are the
kind of person who values your indepence than
most things in this world. Don't get angry if
I'm wrong, but you may be a pained person.
Problems in your life have caused you to be
depressed, or, shall we say, greatly saddened.
You may have lost hope many times, but you
still manage to keep your independence. You
don't listen to anyone but yourself. People may
look at you in a "different" way, but
inside, you want all the pain to stop, but you
have a hard time expressing it. I wish you
well!



What's Your Angel Seeking For? .:BEAUTIFUL Anime Pics AND Music!:.
brought to you by Quizilla

I am Kong. Strong and passionate, I tend to be misunderstood, sometimes even feared. I don't want to fight, I don't want to cause trouble, all I ask is a little love, and a little peace. If I don't get what I want, I get angry, and throw barrels and flaming oil at whatever's stopping me. What Video Game Character Are You?

If you were not Kong, you would be:

I am Pacman. I am an aggressive sort of personality, out to get what I can, when I can. I prefer to avoid confrontation, but sometimes when it's called for, I can be a powerful character. I tend to be afflicted with munchies constantly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Ugh

I hate homework. Actaully, if I get at least 6 pages written today, 6 tomarrow, (though I obviously hope to do much better than that,) I will probably be fine for getting my Holocaust quad take-home final done. I can hole up in the library tomarrow night and until Tuesday. Also, due to EN201, I couldn't take my Christology final on Wednesday even if I wanted to, so that final and the paper are Friday now, and if I have to miss band or choir to do those, then so be it (though, and the reverse should probably be true, I would rather miss choir than band.) I also have lots of reading still to finnish for both classes, though more for Holocaust quad than Christology.

Such is the life of a college student.

Back to work now! =-\

Procrastinating....

Dangit-why can't Dr. Lewis take MLA papers like every-freaking-one freaking else does? Grrr.....14 sources that need to be alphabatzied and properly cited. I hate this...


(<$BlogItemCommentCount$>) comments

Ummm....

OK, finally back in room and alone at 4AM...sleep.....will post tomarrow. Somehow I have to squeeze in Confession while re-writting a massive research paper. As soon as that one's done, I have another to do. I hate this.

Screw You

This is offically my "Screw All Y'all" blog, ie Janet totally uncensored, (beyond the no-cussing thing.) I'm not holding anything back here, and I could freaking care less WHO I offend.

Will debut new post after dinner. I've been munching Sun Chips since I got in my room, but I'd like something of more substance now.




(<$BlogItemCommentCount$>) comments

It's probably a bad thing to eat half of a huge bag of chips single-handedly in one night...

Let's see....what's new with this one....well, the anti-depressant (Lexapro) hasn't done much other than cause me to have the worst class attendance record I've ever had since 1st grade and has made my moods worse. I e-mailed my World History prof to explain myself after missing class for like the 3rd time in two weeks, and like 5th all semester, not counting when I was absent due to March for Life. He, thank goodness, was understanding. I couldn't explain how much that means to me.

Got steamed as all Hades today when I came back from Becca's dorm to find that one of Dominic's friends, Lisa, had brought alcohol over to the house (mind you, only two of the people who live here [RA not included] are old enough, and neither of them were home at the time,) and Meg and Claire were drunk, Claire off her rear end, Meg only enough that you could tell, and I think event that was just because of a medication she's on right now. Claire, a) hasn't slept in somewhere from 3-5 days, has been drinking coffee almost literally non stop, and has been popping Dexatrin (Dexatrim? Couldn't quite understand her speech,) like I'm popping chips as I write this entry. End result? She was all over. I wanted to cry, because I didn't know what to do. Sure, I had imagined myself doing the right thing, being all noble and all that when confronted with this situation, but when it actually happened...
AQ has a stern "guilt by association" alcohol policy, so I made sure to hightail it right to my room, since those girls were in the kitchen, which is a public area of the house. I should have told the RA, done SOMETHING, but I paniced, because Catholic Studies Club is in the process of reapplying to get this house again for next year, and this would have killed us in the water. =-( I feel like such a wimp, not even standing for my convictions. I didn't drink, but I believe breaking the rules and the law is morally wrong. >Sigh<

AQ seems to be going into Hades in a handbasket. I'll explain that more later. Since some OneRockers use Blogger, I'm going to try and update this more often. How do I do the thing where I link to other things? One reason I stopped using Blogger for so long was because of how hard it is to customize anything, or at least to figure out how to. Live Journal is fairly idiot proof, even for an idiot like me. ^_~

That's all for now. I need sleep. I always need sleep.

Guten Nacht!

Bored

I wanna go home. School is too stressful. This crud with the SoE makes me not even WANT to be a teacher anymore. I just want to get married, have kids, and be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool the kids. Doesn't pay, but I think I could actually do it. =-( Ugh.

Note to Self

Update over Christmas break!

I find this amusing and good at the same time.

This is why people call Aquinas College "liberal":

OK, campus safety keeps confiscating our Bush-Cheney signs from the lawn because "the college doesn't want to appear partisan," but in the bookstore, there are at least 2 anti-Bush books, and several more that don't even belong in a Catholic college. So we can't be partisan, but the bookstore can. I want to do an opinion article on this for our paper, The Saint. Think I can make 500-750 words out of this? It ticks me off so much. Dang hypocrites.

Some update or something....

The link is to an entry in my LJ I think is worth reading.

Well, filled out my absentee ballot today. Happy me. Since I stayed up over Fall break, this means my ballot will get out in the mail a whole 2 postal days earlier than otherwise. I undervoted big time; there were a lot of offices where I didn't know what the person even did or I didn't like any of the candidates or there was only one person running but I didn't like them. Yes, readers, I am a Republican, and so yes, I did vote for President George W. Bush. As an Illinois voter, I also voted for Alan Keyes for Senate. Does he have a snowball's chance in Hades? Not even that good, but at least I'm clear with my conscience. Alan Keyes is a candidate I would feel comfortable voting for for almost any office. (Yes, I know he ran for President a while back; I wasn't old enough to vote yet. This is the first Presidential election year I've been of age.)

Let's see...I still need a life. I'm almost suprised at myself for how well I'm getting by on my own over this break. I guess I've been reverting back to my old habits when I lived in Hruby Hall. The only difference is that now I have a full kitchen, (well, except for a dishwasher,) so the cusine is a little better.

Yeah, genius that I am, I found the Kleenex and Sudafed I thought I'd lost the other day. They were in the kitchen on that green circle seat thingy the whole time. Me in a word = dense (or pyro or schitzo, depending on who you ask.)

Whee...I have GMail. Stores more than my AQ address, and easier to check than my AOL addy. IM me if you want the addy. If you don't know my IM, odds are I wouldn't give it to you anyway.

Um.....Mom's leaving for Vegas with Aunt Gina tomarrow evening. I leave for Veritas Campout (http://www.catholic-church.org/veritas) this Friday. Still need to pack. I get back Monday morning/afternoon, and have until Saturday to pack to return to college. I'm not as nervous going to AQ this time as I was last summer, obviously, but I'm starting to worry that that will translate into sloppy packing, and I don't come back to Illinois again until October. Oye....

I'm really excited about this fall semester. I love my schedule. My first class of the semester will be Theology: Contemporary Christian Morality. Last class of the week: World History I. I'm usually bored stiff by the pre-history-1500 AD that is a first semester world history class, but I need it for my major, because I'm getting teacher certification. If I was just a regular history major, I wouldn't need to take world history; that part of my requirements would have been satisfied by AP US History, but now I have to take the World History class, and I get to take fewer electives than a regular history major. Next semester, I'm taking World History II and the class on the Holocaust. I was looking at AQ's course catelogue, and I want to take the History of Germany class for part of my European requirement. I'm also taking a 400-level Education class, but it's in an area I've always been really strong in: Language Arts. I got 5's, the highest score possible, on both of my English AP exams, which allowed me to get out of I & E, thank heavens. From what I gathered from the other AQ students, it sounds like the class would have been a massive waste of time anyway, and I got Hummanities out of the way instead, which means I have 3 hours open spring semester that the other second-year students won't have, and that can't hurt. AQ knows I can write, and I haven't had trouble with any of the writing, except that research paper for Humanities, but I still got a B on that, and I didn't think that was half-bad, considering it was the first research paper I had ever written. (We never did that stuff in high school because, in a school with 3,700+ students, the teachers just do not have the time to grade that kind of thing.)

Blah blah blah....wish I actually had something worth while to say. No one's on-line; they're either away or just not talking to me, even if I IM them. Boo.....I wish we hadn't gotten home from Janet's house so late, (yes, I am named after this Janet,) in Elgin, or I might have caught a few people on. Dang.

Tomarrow is my last Mass at St. George. I don't plan on ever going to St. Julie's again, unless someone dies or something. I regret putting up with the trash that goes on there for so long. Anyway, next Sunday, besides being the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, I will be at Veritas Campout, and we're going to St. Margret's. I would think Veritas would have made sure the parish is good, but does anyone know anything about it otherwise? IE, Mass times, so I know what the crud is going on.

I miss Megan. She's not due back from WA until Wednesday, so that really just leaves us my birthday, but she needs to pack and I have a dental appointment. Dangit.

Ehh...need to sleep.

I am, of course, none other than blank verse. I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right; And when I get there (if I ever do) I might not recognise it. So? Your point?

I am free verse, and know the rules, and use them - when they suit me, which admittedly tends not to be the case. Authority, tradition, laws; very much not my sort of thing, I fear. Perhaps, on occasion, I go too far in the opposite direction, and shun the accepted merely because it's accepted, accepting its opposite merely because it isn't; but since it's clearly better that than being normal; well, why not?

KT's reading over my final exam essay for Intro. to Sociology. When I'm done messing with it, I'm going to e-mail it in. That'll be the class I get the most satisfaction out of being done. I can't wait to sell the books back; they're new, so I'm hoping to get a little bit more for them.
Later.

I really should get back to updating this thing. I've started so many blogs, but because all my friends are on Live Journal, that's what I've been useing. This one's not bad, though. Maybe I'll start updating again once finals are over. Next week, then.
