Tihs weather

So I must say I am pretty excited about this weather. Now I just wish my computer would work better outside. I am determined to find somewhere on campus that has a good internet signal outside. If anyone knows anywhere on campus and is willing to share their secret spot please let a girl know! If not I understand why you would want to keep that a secret. On another note, can I just say I love when people are being sarcastic towards someone and they don't realize it at all. It just happened when I was walking to campus today and it made my day. But on that note I'm done rambling for today.

Lit review

I know this lit review is due in two days, but can I just say I still don't feel like mine is up to par. I have done the research and changed my stance and what I am "testing" multiple times, but I still just don't feel confident. I just keep going back and tweeking it and looking it over and thinking to myself this just doesn't feel right. I don't know what else I can do. I am just hoping at this point I did it right and I get a decent passing grade.

Life

Sometimes I feel like I just cant get ahead in life. No matter how hard I try in school, how many hours I spend in the library and no matter how many hours a week I work; I get screwed by this school, my grades stay the same and I am still broke. Anymore I just really don't even see the point in trying to better any aspect of my life. It just creates more work and more stress and I never benefit from it. I just want to graduate, forget about grad school and just find some type of job that will pay the bills for the rest of my life. I can now understand why so many adults today hate their jobs, its because they hated school first and just picked something that would pay the bills.

I need food!

Just sitting in class thinking about the nice weather and how much I want food right now. Thinking about all of the places close to campus I could go to after class. Im just afraid that if I leave campus I wont come back. Which is a rare case for me because I always feel guilty about skipping class. But hunger can do some crazy things to a person, especially this person. I just cant decide if I'm in a Boone bagelry mood, or a jimmy johns mood or ODB or even Capones. Decisions decisions....

CNN video, "when your young daughter says shes a boy"

So this week I was on facebook... which is news in itself because I'm never on there! But that's not what I'm here to talk about. When I was on there I saw something one of my friends posted that caught my attention. It looked like a video about a little boy that had cochlear implants, so I figured I would watch it. Once I started the video I realized quickly it probably wasn't going to be about cochlear implants. The name of the video was "when your young daughter says she's a boy". That caught my attention right away and I knew I had to watch it now. It was a video about a little girl who knew she felt like a boy all of her life, but couldn't express how she felt until she got her cochlear implants and learned how to speak. That is all I'm going to say about it now, just incase someone wants to watch the video as well.

Life

So I don't have much to say this week. Nothing to important happened this week that would be exciting enough to talk about. I went to class, then the library and then work. It was a busy week, but they kind of busy where you only have time to do things you have to do and no time for the things you want to do. But hey I cant complain, it was a fairly good week all around. I am really happy that is getting warm out again, even though it makes it harder to want to get my school work done. I need to get a computer cover screen or something where it is easier to use your computer outside.

st pattys day!

ITs ST PATTYS DAY! Personally I don't really get the hype about st pattys day, especially because most of the people who celebrate it aren't even irish. Also when did it become a holiday and why? I have never learned why or when they holiday came about... have you? But hey, im not complaining, I mean what's the problem with another day to have fun! I am a little upset that I have not seen any kegs and eggs signs or green beer as of yet. I'm sure I will see some by the end of the day though. I get to work tonight so im sure I will get to encounter some of those who have found the green beer in Boonetown.

audiology vs hearing mgt.

So I don't know if I am the only one who has thought this but, hearing management is so dull compared to audiology. I loved going to audiology class last semester... even though it was at 8am! However, I have hearing management at 11am this semester and I have to force myself to get there everyday. I don't know what it is about this class. I just cant pay attention and it does not intrigue me like audiology did. Hopefully that will change at some point though, because I really do want to enjoy what im learning.

back at it

So first week back from spring break and it has never been harder to try to get motivated. Especially since the weather has been so beautiful. I almost need it to rain or something so I am forced to stay inside and get work done. But I also hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. I need it to be nice out so more people come into work so I can make some money! But I hope everyone had a great spring break and if anyone did anything exciting let me know!

parents visit


So my parents came to visit me this weekend. It was kind of  a spontaneous visit so I didn't have much time to prepare. They came to go to the basketball game and to just hang out for a few days. They did however find out that my roomie has a cat... which they did not know about. They surprisingly really liked Bean... that is the cats name. My dad who has never liked cats played with her for a long time, so that was quite amusing. They also brought me a ton of food so I am pretty excited about that. You can never have to much food as a college student... especially if its free food. But when they were in town we checked out the new River Street Ale House, it was pretty good. I also took them to the Tapp room and Cyote kictchn, all of which they loved. But when I was thinking about different things to do with them I kinda came to a loss. Besides hiking, shopping on king street and going to eat I didn't know what to do with them. I was just wondering if anyone had any different ideas of where to take people when they come to Boone when its cold? Because I still don't know why I cant think of anything.

Music

I don't know if anybody will read this but if you do I would really enjoy some suggestions. I need to find some new music. I usually listen to country, classic rock and "alternative" music like Ben Howard or the Lumineers. And when I am working out I just put it on todays hits or something fast that I don't need to pay much attention to. But I think I need to switch it up. I have never really been a fan of rap because I am the kind of person who likes to listen to the lyrics. And if I listen to rap lyrics I realize why I don't like rap. So if anyone has any suggestions for me I would appreciate it. I am open to listen to anything at least once.

lit review

So I just re-wrote my lit review and I still have no Idea if im doing it right or if it sounds good. I keep feeling like I am just repeating what I have already said. And I don't know if I need to be more argumentative or not. But I have a decent paper going I guess. And if its not I guess I will just learn and re-do it. Either way I am ready to get out of the library for the night. I have been here since 1:00 and it is now past 8:00 and im about to fall asleep. Which is pretty impressive because I have already had 2 cups of coffee, not including the cup I had this morning. But anyway this was just kind of a random blurb of thoughts.
