Finals

I will be a college graduate SOON!!!

I had no final exams today. But I have two tomorrow. And it's 11pm. And I haven't started studying. One of the finals has a 30-page study guide. And I have no motivation to look at it. I did laundry, I went to sell my books back to the bookstore (and made 60bucks), I went to dinner, I went to the library to socialize, I watched Grey's Anatomy and The Vampire Diaries, I went to Starbucks with friends, I went out to the lounge for a cookies and coffee study break, and now I'm blogging. What a great waste of the entire day. I had a Caramel Light Frappuccino, and I think my hands are shaking now because my body's not used to coffee. This is probably the third cup of coffee I've had... in my entire life.

I can't think. I can't do anything. I just want to get the finals OVER WITH. 10am Tuesday morning can't come fast enough. I even changed my Wednesday final to Tuesday at 11am so I could be done by Tuesday at noon. That means I have to hurry through the first final for Web Design, get it done within half an hour, rush to the other final for Contemporary Christian Belief, and get it done. OMG I CANT WAIT. I don't even care if I'm prepared for them or not. I have an A+ in Web Design and 100% in Contemp. Not to brag, but I'm pretty sure my grades will be good no matter what I get for the finals.

I WILL BE DONE WITH COLLEGE TOMORROW AT NOON!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, Ruben, Sungah and I took a trip into the woods behind Bergwall dorm today after dinner to see his artwork for class. It was rainy and muddy and I shrieked everytime my foot squished in the mud. But it was an adventure, and we took pics to document it. haha. He also got poison ivy from god knows where (probably from being out in the woods building his tent thingy), and he tried to spread it to sungah and I by touching us. So we got paranoid and took a shower. I really hope I don't get it. Now I feel itchy all over. But I'm sure it's all in my head. At least I hope so. If I get it during graduation I will KILL HIM!!!


Ruben and his tent artwork (wayyy in the background) made out of sticks and things of nature.


Me and Sungah, being the good friends we are, braved the rain and mud to see and appreciate his work.

Dead Week

Carly and me. She's pretty dang awesome :)


ME AND MY TABLE AT THE SENIOR SHOW!!!!!!!!


AWWW I love my friends :)


The group of us at the David Choi concert. He was really, really short.

I think it's starting to hit me a little... that I'm leaving Taylor forever in less than 2 weeks. Kind of excited to never go to school again, but also kind of really sad to never see these people again. I wish we all didn't have to leave. But I guess things change, people change, life changes.

Anyway, Dead Week = A week of zero activities in preparation for finals week next week.
But that's a myth. Dead Week is NEVER dead. It's always FILLED with last minute tests, presentations, projects, events, and all sorts of nonsense. We think Dead Week actually means WE are dead due to excessive stress.

So this past weekend was crazy fun. I totally neglected all my homework, including my Senior Show (which was on Monday), in the name of fun :) We went to Indy on Friday and Saturday, but with a different group of people. Things were a little slow, maybe 'cause some of the universities have let out for summer, but it was still fun. Saw the usual 'loser crew' (old pervert men) there, so that was entertaining. Stayed over at a friend's apartment and got a shock when the parents came the next day.

Went to see Iron Man 2 on Sunday!! I love Iron Man, it's awesome, and the sequel lived up to expectations. Two hours full of action, adventure, explosions, and witty lines. Good times. Then we drove around at like 10 in the night trying to find some place to eat... and everything was closed, except Applebee's, so we went in. And they had a late night special - appetizers for $4! That made us happy. And then it was time to go back to Taylor and start doing homework.

I actually got some coffee from Starbucks (I NEVER drink coffee, EVER) because I was falling asleep and I needed to be up all night to work on my Senior Show. The last time I got coffee was many years ago, and it gave me a headache. But this time it actually tasted alright and it kept me up ALL NIGHT until 6am when I finally went to sleep. Wow. Coffee actually works wonders! But this isn't going to be a permanent fixture in my life - coffee is only for pulling all-nighters. So I finally started doing homework at 1am... putting together my works and writing my senior reflection. I freaked out a little because I had NO IDEA what to write for the reflection, but somehow it came to me thank God, and I managed to get it done and get 2 hours of sleep.

Anyway, the Senior Media Communication Show was on Monday, and I was printing out stuff and gluing the papers to cardboard and trying to make the cardboard stand up... all until the last minute. But everything worked out. TONS of people came to the show (it's a show displaying the works of all the Media Communication seniors), and all my friends came, which made me so very happy. And they were so proud of me, and I was so proud of myself... all my accomplishments in 4 years! Wow. Craziness. After that we had a Media Awards where they gave out school awards and state competition awards for works that people in the major did, and I got some 2nd place award from some Indiana press association for some feature news writing I did last year. Have no idea what it was, but that's cool :)

So glad the show is over and my portfolio is DONE! I have my life back now :) Not that I was doing much work on it before, but... it's nice to know I'm done with that.

Now or never

My script 'The Long Road Home' is officially submitted to the Page Awards!!!! kinda nervous about that. but we'll only know if we got into the quarter finals in july, semi finals in aug... etc. so late. i wanna know NOW! well actually i just wanna see their feedback. so i can improve. and write better scripts!!!

And I did homework the entire day today. from the time i woke up at 1 till 8, when i made cookies and had a girl party where we watched High School Musical 3!! it was awesome. although hannah didn't let me sing along with the songs (that i painstakingly memorized. ahaha).


~we're all in this togetherrrr~

Oh those lucky rich and famous kids. haha

random: been listening to old songs from the '90s. backstreet boys, 'nsync, m2m, boyzone, savage garden... going down memory lane.

Back to hw! Actually, not really. Just filling out applications for study abroad in the fall. My interview's tomorrow!! at 3pm!! pray that God's favor will be upon me and the interview will go great and i'll be Taylor-approved to go study in LA!!!! :)
(This is lame, but i just realized LA is in california. I'LL BE IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE FALL!!! coolness)

In a blur

Ok tons of things happened. I can't really remember cuz i'm soooo tired right now but can't go to bed anytime soon cuz there's just way too much stuff to be done and sleeping's not really my first priority as of yesterday.
To summarize last week - freakin' awesome. and also... interesting creepy experiences. let's just leave it at that.
Went to watch the Taylor play 'The Crucible', and promptly fell asleep again. i always fall asleep watching plays! and yet i still go to them! no idea why.

So anyway, we didn't get into the new university apartments. sadness. sigh!!!!! we were number 20 and there are only 15 spots. sigh. but.. i guess it's all part of God's plan. when i found out, i immediately went to apply to study off-campus. hahaha. cuz i told God that if we didn't get the apartments, it means He wants me to go study abroad.

SO I APPLIED! the deadline's monday, so i'm cutting it kinda close. but who cares. my interview's monday, and all my application forms and references have to be in by then. so this weekend.. no sleep!! so hopefully (please pray hard for me) i can go study in LA next semester!!!! AAAHHHH!!!! and do an internship in freaking HOLLYWOOD!!!! i really hope i get it. please please please.

also been doing a ton of interviews this week. our writer for our lead story on the student body president elections decided to bail on us last minute, so we have to write the whole article ourselves. sigh. plus i'm already writing another article for the newspaper. oh well. it's the life of a journalist. also pray i can get an internship this summer!!!!!

ok. can't really think anymore. need to go back to studying/writing articles.
