Slacker.

I've been slacking so much on my posts. I don't know what's going on with me! Well... actually, I do. I've been being more productive!

I just finished my sociology paper, which is to write a letter to a representative, senator, or basically someone of a higher class. It's due on Friday, but I figured I'd do it today so I wouldn't have to pull a late night tomorrow. In addition to that, I went to the gym on Tuesday! I haven't gone in months and figured I'd start going once again. You know, get back in shape and what not. Just be healthier in general. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I've been thinking about doing something in Biology or Kinesiology lately - something about the human body. I find it interesting to know what's going on in my body. I guess it's something I've always been interested in. I've also always secretly wanted to become a masseuse. haha. Maybe I can sound less sexual if I think of becoming a chiropractor. There's just something about the calm and quiet setting in massage rooms. It's something I'd definitely enjoy doing and being around.

On another note, Spring Break is right around the corner. I have less than two days before I'm back in Boston. I want to do a lot when I'm back, but I'm sure I wont. I really wanted to visit Paul during this break, but he just so happens to have Spring Break at the same time I have it. That's okay though. I'll see him sometime. He's busy with Ultimate Frisbee anyways. And speaking of frisbee, I played today! It was beautiful out and it has been beautiful out for the past couple days. It's been so nice that the thought of bringing home my winter jackets just dawned upon me. I'm really hoping to play frisbee once again tomorrow. It's supposed to be another nice day (not as nice as it was cut out to be though).

Anyways, Myron called me five times today, and out of all of those five calls, I missed. He ended up leaving me a voice mail of the most awkward thing ever. I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. Saying he didn't do anything wrong would just be lying. But the fact that he got the hint that he did something wrong meant that he felt some tension during his stay here, right?

Well, it's time for me to go now. It's getting late and I'm still at the library. I'm excited for my relaxing day tomorrow. I'm happy I got the majority of my work done.

One last thing: I've had this song stuck in my head all day and am finally listening to it now. Give it a try. Ben Harper - Another Lonely Day.

Catch you later. Happy Thursday. :)

Stress.

I hate it. I was so stressed last night. I felt like there was so much for me to do but no time to do it. I ended up finishing my paper at around 1:30am and studying for about an hour or two for sociology; speaking of which I'm quite sure I failed. This all happened due to the crazy weekend I had with Thomas.

Technically, it wasn't even his fault that I didn't study. It was someone else's - someone who I'm not sure I should name. I'm not sure if he's reading this or whatnot, but because it's my blog and I feel safe here, it's Myron. At first, I was okay with him tagging along with my hangout with Luis.I thought it was fine that he ate dinner with my friends and I, but when Thomas came and dinner ended, I saw that he wasn't leaving. He followed us back to the dorm and everything. While hanging out, he suddenly pulls out a "I think I'm just going to sleep here" and a "I think I'm going to start calling Van Meter my second home." That was when he started crossing the line.

First of all, I didn't invite him to sleep over. Secondly, I offered my bed to Thomas and later on found out that he had slept in it. How rude is that? To know that a friend of mine, Thomas, (I guess his too) is coming over to visit and you take the bed he's going to sleep on when you have a bed of your own 15 minutes away? Plus, I was told he didn't really sleep. That's just a dick move. In addition to that, Thomas offered Myron Maddie's bed and he took it once again. Thomas ended up staying up 'til 8am sitting in my fucking chair. I'm sorry for the profanity if it's offending you, but I am completely offended by Myron. By the way, guess what I found out finally after he left on SUNDAY at 4PM - that Thomas had BOUGHT Myron a fucking toothbrush during his stay here. That's just disturbing in all ways in my mind. That basically meant that he planned on staying for the entire weekend, or at least, another fucking night. He just disturbed me so much this past weekend and thinking about it makes me creeped out by my sheets. I can't believe he stayed over, slept in my bed, and took quality time out of the weekend I had with Thomas all without asking.

There was never a time when he asked if he could sleep in my bed or stay over. He was around so much and constantly behind or next to me and Thomas so much that the only time when Thomas and I were really alone was when we walked together to get more food at the dining common. We even had to resort to typing on my netbook instead of talking. He was just always around. ALWAYS. Like a leech you can't get off. I understand that he likes me and all, but this ISN'T the way to go about it. Not the way at all.

I'm sure I have much more to say about him, but I'm pretty much done for the night. This past weekend used up all my energy and didn't provide me with much sleep. Speaking of sleep, Myron's extremely inconsiderate to those that are sleeping. He made tons of noise (I think purposely) to wake us. But yeah... that two hour nap I took at 3 today didn't do the job. I'm still tired.

One last thing for the night - I just wonder whether Nick thinks about Friday... he was somewhat worried about my moodiness yesterday. I was quite the antisocial. He probably doesn't though. I'm wondering if I should move on... or at least try to. Going to Nemat's party has made me realize that he's the type of party guy that I'm interested in - one that likes social parties and not ones that are all about drinking and dancing (crazy ones). We'll see how this ends up.

Goodnight.

1.5

Guess what! Erik, someone I met at the awesome house party a couple weekends ago, texted me telling me they were having another party on Saturday night and I knew I had to go - especially since Thomas was visiting. I told everyone else on the floor about it, but none of them happened to like the party except Maddie, who went home for the weekend. Matt decided to come along, whom I love to death for. Out of all my friends, it was him that came with me and it just meant the world.

Anyways, Chris told me we'd have to pay $5 to get in, but I assumed we wouldn't seeing as we didn't before. And since he didn't go, we googled directions and headed out at 11pm. Once we got to the house, we just walked right in, the guys grabbed a cup, and just got alcohol from the keg. It was as simple as that. I saw Nemat, one of the owners, but I knew he didn't recognize me so I just continued my night moseying around. We met a couple people, talked, and got introduced shortly to the other owner while the guys were playing ruit. After that ended, we went back to the living room and I saw the other owner, sitting on the couch so I took the opportunity to talk and introduce myself to him. Once we were about to shake hands, the flip cup table suddenly topples, sliding all the cups onto the ground. It was kinda neat seeing as we won't forget meeting one another because of that.

Anyways, after hours of being at the party and meeting tons of new, chill, outgoing people, the night really finally begins. Kyle, someone else I met at the last party, arrives. We talk, he plays a couple games of flip cup, and then he asks me to dance. Seeing as Kyle's pretty freakin' hot and has an awesome personality, I say yes. After that, I go back to the kitchen where the flip cup was going on and see that they're all about to take a shot. Once I realize that, I decided that I wanted in. I believe it was Gashawn(?) that poured the Evan Williams for all of us, and since I felt incomplete, I called Kyle over to take one with me. I ended up taking half a shot, and him a whole. I felt bad though, seeing as he was pretty trashed. He looked like he was about to throw up. Yikes. But I'm glad he took one with me. He's awesome.

After that, we met more people, talked, and a couple hours later, people started to leave. I thought the party was ending since it was around 3am, so we decided to leave as well. As we were about to leave, we were somehow distracted. It was a good thing though - a fantastic thing. That's when we finally really talked to Nemat. I believe it was when Kyle wanted to have a dance off that Nemat and I really talked. He made me the judge and whatnot. It was fun. So hot. haha. Anyways, Nemat and I somehow ended up in the hallway and I told him about my whole drinking virginity. I think I had the intention of drinking with him, so once the others got over there, he poured us all shots of Ruskova, and I had my first real shot. It was nice - a great moment. Anyways, after a couple seconds or a minute, I did my hair-flip thing to get my hair out of my face, and realized that I was tipsy. Everything was just wobbling, if you will. haha

It was an interesting experience. I've never been under the influence of anything, but it was fun. What made it all the better was that I was already having fun before drinking. It was just a nice little addition. Plus, I didn't drink any after that. Also, knowing that Nemat knew about my whole drinking thing, or lack of, and how he didn't plan on giving me any more to drink made me so much more comfortable around him. He's really sweet and thoughtful. It was cute how he was worried about me taking a shot. He actually poured me a half shot until I said I wanted a full one. I don't know him much, but I'm pretty sure I have a teeny tiny crush on him... :) He's a good guy.

Wow, this was a really long post. I didn't even explain half of what went on this weekend, just Saturday night. Anyways, I have a paper to fix and a Sociology exam to study for. I haven't done either of them. I'm completely fucked for my exam. Wish me the best of luck. I've had too much fun this weekend. I'll update you on the rest later. <3!

Quick post.

Rewrote English paper, ate, hung out with Raf and Nick, watched movie about pot, showered, darkened drawing. Time to sleep now. 9:05 tomorrow. Goodnight.

By the way, I don't remember if I mentioned this, but Thomas is coming over sometime this weekend! As well as other peoples friends. :)

The Zone.

I'm totally in the zone right now. I want to continue drawing but it's getting too late into the night to. I have to sleep especially since I'm going to get breakfast tomorrow.

Anyways, this post is going to be short due to the time of night right now, but to show you what I've been doing for the past couple hours, here goes nothing! I've decided to document this piece due to the fact that I never draw people.





So... obviously he's not finished yet. I'm just done for the night. How do you think he looks so far? I'm pretty happy about him. By the way, this guy is William Fitzsimmons. He's a musician whose songs I really enjoy. You know, the mellow songs you always find me listening to. I recommend Passion Play (the first song I heard from him), Shattered, Kylie, Afterall, You Still Hurt Me, and basically everything and anything of his.

Maddie's finally asleep right now, which means I should also be sleeping. Goodnight and keep posted for progress!

P.S. This drawing is based off a photograph.

What a relief!

I'm so happy my Sociology paper isn't due today. Even though it's really a one page letter, it's something I actually want to try hard on. I think I've been doing a lot better this semester. I feel like I have everything in my ballpark. I'm always on top of things and usually know when things are due and when I should do them. I've gotten to hang of going to the library and getting work done at a decent time. I'm pretty content right now.

On another note, the weather is gorgeous today! The sun's out, grass is green, everything's just beautiful! What sucks is that I'm sick! I really want to go outside and lay on the grass, but my body is telling me not to risk getting worse since I'm getting better and all. I actually think I'm going to take a nap... and maybe walk around for a bit. We'll see.

It's nice to take a day off.

Productivity.

As I said in my last post, I'm sick. I decided that I needed to get a good nights rest, but knowing me, I don't/can't sleep. Due to that factor, I decided to take some NyQuil. I'm glad I did. I ended up sleeping for ten hours last night and only waking up once in between. It didn't matter though, seeing as I fell right back to sleep. The best thing about my day was knowing that my first class was at 1:25pm. Normally, I'd start my days at 9am because of my 10:10am class, but that was a cyber-class today, and my 11:15 English class was canceled due to private conferences. I woke up a bit before noon and got ready to eat my daily lunch with the gang. After lunch, we headed over to our class and was surprised by the lack of people in it. For some reason, I figured it was just because we were extremely early. It didn't hit me until someone said that class was canceled that my professors wife might've just had a baby. The announcement for class being canceled ended up being on Spark, which just so happens to be a class I don't check regularly, but congrats to them both! Knowing class was canceled was somewhat annoying seeing as that meant I really didn't need to get up at noon, but I'm glad I did since I had to get some work done.

Due to the cancelation of this class, this meant that I had only one class today. This class just so happens to be my late class at 6:30pm. It's a lovely feeling to have a single class in a day when you're really supposed to have four and knowing that that class is at 6:30pm. For some reason, it took a load off my shoulders. I felt relieved with an abundance of time to do work, and sure enough, I did! I revised my English paper, did my Anthropology homework before class, and took my Sociology quiz. I planned on accomplishing these tasks by 9pm and did. I feel amazing. I have hours left to study for my Oceanography exam, which is tomorrow. I just thought I'd get blogging out of the way so I wouldn't have to interrupt my studying for it. With all this said, I'll catch you later. Wish me luck on my exam!

P.S. I'm at the library once again and being productive. I have no intentions of logging onto Facebook today. :)
