The weekend has been great. But I’m spending way too much time on fun and not enough time on school or other things I need to get accomplished. But I had forgotten how much fun life can be. That sounds really depressing. Its not like I didn’t enjoy last year but right now every day I feel like I do so many different things. I hang out with so many different people. I have so many new friends. My schedule is so jam packed but I love it. Well I would love it more if I had more time. But I don’t know what I could cut out.

Fall Break has been computer games. Computer games designed for children or preteen girls. Computer games that require absolutely no brain power. Computer games that are so easy to win. I’ve been playing Hot Shot Business on Disney.com or all the games at gurl.com and of course, everything on addicting games.com. And Zoo Tycoon. I played that for a while today.
I was talking to my boyfriend today about dreams that have fallen by the wayside. I said how I enjoyed playing the sims because I love designing houses. How, in another life, I would have been an architect. He asked “why in another life?”. Its not that I have given up on dreams. Its just that I have so many and you can only go so many ways. There are alot of careers I could have pursued but didn’t. Some, like landscape design, I realized I enjoyed too late and by that point I was at Mary Wash where I couldnt pursue it. Also, writing. I’m sure there is something in Theater I would enjoy, if I had given it more of a chance. But now that I’ve chosen education, this is the path I have to take. I couldn’t be happier. But I wish I could do it all.
It’s lovely being on Fall Break. Today I slept till noon. My brother made me watch the Felix the Cat dvd he bought for a doller at the supermarket. My mom made me chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. I’ve been playing computer games and watching old movies. I started with The Santa Clause and now Mrs. Doubtfire is on TV.
I love vacation because I watch all the old movies I watched as a kid. And my mom will make me basically any food I want. But I, in turn, listen to her rant about everything. And that takes a huge emotional toll.
The house is so tense but I’m trying to ignore it. I want to make sure I spend time with my brother before I go. I think he needs a break from everyone else.
This weekend has been really great. Friday was Rocktoberfest. I had work untill 5 so I missed the first band, Ill Scarlett. I heard they were really good but I saw the Plain White T’s and that’s all I cared about. I actually really don’t care for concerts. Live music doesnt do anything special for me. I hate when you’re supposed to clap along or when the band stops so the audience can sing. I really hate when other people are singing along and you can’t hear the band. Which is funny, because that doesnt bother me with CDs or anything. If I’m driving I sing along and I certainly encourage anyone else to as well. But when its live I don’t like it. That’s interesting. Anyway, at one point during Hey There Delilah, the band stops so the crowd can sing along. But instead everyone starts clapping becuase they thought the song was done. The band just looked at each other like oh man these people are stupid. I felt so bad for the band, and seriously…. if you don’t even know the words to Hey There Delilah, why are you at the concert?!
Later Friday night I went to see The Bourn Ultimatum. It was good. But I also hate when audiences try to interact with the movie and they cheer and clap and worry someone will die. Haha, I didnt intend to complain this much.
Yesterday I gave one of the best tours everl. It was only one family so I was able to tailor it to the girl’s interests. And luckily she was interested in elementary education and theater so I could talk alot about things. Then I came back and hung out with Britney in the lobby while everyone came to look at the rooms. Then I hung out with Ellie and Amy and Paige. We danced. Me and Amy tried to shimmy…. and we looked rediculous.
I went to dinner with Michelle and her family. We went to TGIFridays. I usually get the Jack Daniel’s Chicken Strips because I love them so much. But instead I tried the Dragonfire chicken and it was amazing! It was a bit more spicy than I expected but very very good. Then we had these donut things for dessert that were very very good.
Then we went back to the dorm and played board games with Michelle’s little sister. We played Cadoo… which I’ve very played. Its like cranium tic tac toe. Then we played Trouble and then I got some other people so we could play MadGab. Then we played Scattagories which is my favorite game ever!
We went to see the 5th Harry Potter movie after that. I was very dissapointed. I really don’t have any complements for it. They cut so much out and I felt like the only reason I understood the movie was because I had read the books. Oh well.
Today will be homework, homework, more homework, the wash guides picnic, and then I’m on duty. Fabulous.
