Somedays this is how i feel

I want to go home! I miss my family and friends, but It's gonna be a while. This weekend I have to work at the box office because we have a play. The weekend after is the beginning of spring break, but I'm going to a Kenny Chesney concert on the first Sunday of break. Then I might go down to the cities to visit a friend on Monday and Tuesday, then I have to work wednesday. Thursday, I have nothing to do, and no one will be at my home cause they'll all be working. On Friday, my friends and I are going to Canada until Sunday. The weekend after is Easter, and we don't have classes on Friday, but since I will have the weekend before off, I'll probably end up working that entire weekend. GRRRRRRRRR! I wish I had something nice to say today. But it's cold and snowing, and it's just a bad day! Bye!

Three weeks until Kenny Chesney!

Kenny Chesney is so awesome!! So is Gretchen Wilson!! Uncle Kracker is ok. I'm so excited! But again I have an extra ticket, I think. One of my friends might cancel on me and get a front row seat instead, she is still paying for that extra ticket, wheter she likes it or not. I just have to find someone else to take her place. Grrrrrr!

Anyways, we got our Sociology tests back last week, and my friend and I found out that we are smarter than 2/3rds of our class. We both got C's. That was a tough test. I would have done good if it wasn't for the 30 vocab. questions. Someone got a 97! That is awesome! But on the other end of the spectrum, someone actually pulled off a 6. Yes an actual 6. No typo a 6 (six). How do you get a 6? I have no idea. The proffessor gave out, what he calls, "academic wellfare." That means everyone below 59.5 gets a D-. I can't believe I'm in the top third of that class. Woo hoo.

I had another test this morning in Enginering Graphics/CAD. Easiest test ever! It was an open book, and I didn't need the book at all. I've had like 3 CAD classes in high school, so it's easy. Plus we use the same program. I love AutoCad! Too bad it's like super expensive, bare minimum is $2000 per computer I think.

Now for the rest of the week I work! I really hate that because I don't get any free time. Except maybe today. I'm at work right now actually, but we aren't doing anything. I worked yesterday, I'll work Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, at Kmart. And possibly wednesday at Kmart, but I also have to work at the box office that day. We have a play next week, "Into the Woods." It looks pretty cute, and I have to work Wednesday through Saturday. The box office is open all day. The good thing is, we have enough people to break up the shifts, so I don't have to be here all day.

Well, gotta go. Bye!

In a sociological mood

Ok, so I just finished taking my huge-normus Sociology test. That was tough. Oh, now it's time to start studing for the next one. I have 2 more tests this week. On Friday I have an Archaeology test, 30 multiple choice, piece-o-cake! Then I have a take home test thats due Friday for Philosophy. It's actually an essay, and I've been so busy studying for soc. that I haven't had a chance to even look at it. Oh well, it'll get done.

Anyways, the reason I'm posting. After taking my test I have decided on a possible new career path. I want to become an Ethnomethodologist. Possibly the logest word I can spell. I would have a lot of fun. An Ethnomethodologist studies norms and mores, by disrupting them. Like wearing underwear on the outside of your clothes, or getting into an elevator and not turning around to face the doorsl, think about it. With me there probably wouldn't be any reseach involved, I'd probably be in it for the pleasure of freaking people out!

On second though, Architects probably make more money, I think I'll stick with that!

Happy belated Valentines Day!

Sorry, I thought this was pretty funny. I had to share it with everyone. Sorry for my sick sense of humor.

Rascal Flatts was awesome!!!

I had soooooo much fun at the Rascal Flatts concert on Friday! Our seats were ok, we were pretty high up and off to the side. We could see them ok, but I would have liked to be closer. It was still awesome. That was my first huge concert. The traffic wasn't very good, we left at 7:20 and the concert started at 8. We made it in time, but the concert started a half hour late. The Fargodome is cool, it is so huge, I don't think I've ever been in any building (besides an airport) thats that big. Blake Shelton was there too. I love his song: "Some Beach." They put on a pretty good show, I knew most of the songs that RF sang. They did a cool encore too. They sang "Pour Some Sugar on Me," and a few Bon Jovi Songs. Then Blake came out and sang "Born in the USA." That was lots of fun. Now I can't wait until Kenny Chesney now. He's a month away from today.


This is the group of girls I went to the Concert with. Top row: Me, Jenny, Becky, Natalie. Bottom row: Alissa and Heather.


This is a Picture Patsy sent to me. It's so cool, thanks for the Picture!

I do have a few more pictures, but they're not very exciting. I'm gonna try to get them up somehow sometime soon.

Another Poem

when the president talks to god
are the conversations brief or long?
does he ask to rape our womens' rights
or to send poor farm kids off to die?
will the president reccomend an oil hike
when the president talks to god?

when the president talks to god
are the words he chooses hard or soft?
does he resolute all down the line?
is every issue black or white?
does what god say ever change his mind
when the president talks to god?

when the president talks to god
does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
agree which convicts should be killed?
where the prison's built and filled?
which voter fraud must be concealed
when the president talks to god?

when the president talks to god
I wonder which one plays the better cop
we should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
no, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
that's what god reccomends

when the president talks to god
do they drink beer and go play golf
when they pick which country should we invade
and which heathen souls still can be saved?
yeah I guess god just calls a spade a spade
when the president talks to god

when the president talks to god
does he ever think that maybe he's not?
that that voice is just inside his head
when he kneels down in the presidential bed
does he ever smell his own bullshit
when the president talks to god?

"When the President Talks to God" by Bright Eyes.

I have to give credit to Kellie for finding this poem, it was on her xanga site. I like this poem, and I'm sorry if it offends anyone, but most of it is what I feel.

The Lost Baby Poem by Lucille Clifton

the time i dropped your almost body down
down to meet the waters under the city
and run one with the sewage to the sea
what did i know about waters rushing back
what did i know about drowning
or being drowned

you would have been born into winter
in the year of the disconnected gas
and no car we would have made the thin
walk of Genesee hill into the Canada wind
to watch you slip like ice into strangers' hands
you would have fallen naked as snow into winter
if you were here i could tell you these
and some other things

if i am ever less than a mountain
for your definite brothers and sisters
let the rivers pour over my head
let the sea take me for a spiller
of seas let black men call me stranger
always for your never named sake


I really like this poem. I just wanted to share it with everyone, now I have to go write an essay on it. Talk to you later.

Boooooooo Patriots!!!!!!!!!

I'm mad! Not like I really care about who wins the Superbowl this time, but I wanted the Eagles to win. Oh Well, life goes on.

Sorry I haven't wrote for awhile, i've been kinda busy. Lots of work, and homework. Not real exciting.

If you haven't heard, I'm going to a Rascal Flatts concert on Friday (Woo hoo). On Friday night, my friends and I tie-dyed t-shirts, they're purple, blue, and green. They are awesome. Then Saturday, we finished decorating them. I cut my sleeves into strips and added beads, and I also made the neck wider. Everyone else added feathers to their sleeves. Not really my thing. We wrote "Country Chick" on the front, and I wrote "Annie M" on the back. It's so cool.

We were gonna watch the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert on CMT, but some dorks came in the lounge and said that they had "reserved" the lounge. I was mad I couldn't watch the Concert. So we decided to go see a movie. One great thing about Moorhead, is the Safari. It only costs $1.50 to see a movie. Most of the movies are just about to come out in stores, but thats ok. Unfortunately, we watched "The Grudge." Talk about scary!!!! I had my jacket pulled over my head half the time. I hate scary movies. We were so scared when the movie was over, me and a friend went to watch Anchorman in her room. We didn't finish it though, I was too tired. The part I saw was ok, but it didn't seem all that funny.

Today wasn't terribly exciting. I ventured over to Fargo, did some necessity shoping. That's about it.
