Where is the Wifi?!

Guess what! I survived the first day back to school. I love love love my American Sign Language class and the fact that my friend Kim and I get to be partners for every task. I learned how to ask someone for their name and to tell them mine. And shapes and stuff. The entire class was taught in ASL so it was very quiet. I didn't realize how difficult it would be for me to keep my mouth shut the whole time. Thank God for a 15 minute break in the middle. I needed to exercise my mouth haha. I'm so not used to not talking. Like hello?

Here's a little preview of me having no clue what I'm doing practicing.

I should probably work on my facial expressions since I look like a zombie.

Also, since I can't live-tweet my Statistics class due to NO INTERWEBZ in the basement, I wrote down all my thoughts yesterday.

• Why are most non-traditional students so weird?
• WHERE IS THE WIFI?
• If this asshat behind me doesn't stop kicking my seat, I'm gonna curbstomp his face.
• Look at those ratchet nails on the chick next to me.
• "Humans are bad at math."
• People still use the Cornell method?
• "Zeus could tell you the parameters, but we don't know for sure."

I know you're sad that I couldn't tweet all that.

Hope you're enjoying the last couple weeks of Summer!

Gratitude : week 2

ow, I can't believe I've been too tired to even sit down at my computer. I was actually gonna write this post Tuesday and put myself ahead of the game, but then I started to feel like crapola so it was a no-go. I really hope I'm not getting that grimy virus that seems to be turning into a country-wide thing.
Anywho, I still feel like crap, even though it was a pretty decent week. So here it is - my weekly Gratitude.

Okay first up, I just found this pic from last weekend so I "#latergram[ed] it. I'm grateful for the fact that the littlest things can entertain and inspire me. The ceiling work in NY Penn Station is pretty bo$$.

I'm grateful that I woke up at 5 am for no reason and saw that the sky deserved to be captured. I still can't believe I managed to drag my ass out of bed, but I'm so glad I did. It's perfect and the colors are gorgeous.

I'm grateful that I have friends like blogless Sarah who understand my nerdiness and GoT references, and who also like to tell me they love me out of the blue(and IN CAPS).

I'm grateful that some places still make real calzones that could feed me a whole family for only $8.

Lastly, I'm grateful that brother is here. Some kids he graduated with went wading in the creek near us and out of the three that went in, only one came out. I'm thankful that our community showed instant support and that so many came out to help with the search effort. I'm grateful that they found the boys' bodies so that their families can have some closure. I know that their lives will never be the same. Hopefully this tragedy will continue to show these kids to think before they do something, and that nature is more powerful than we will ever be. I pray that these families find strength for the rough time they are about to face, and that it never happens to anyone else in this town.

I didn't know these boys personally, but they've already touched my life and showed me that there is so much to be grateful for today and every day.

Tell your family and friends that you love them while they are here. "Life is too short."

I Should Be Studying

 

Hi Bloggers! Tonight is a special night because it's Friday. It's the end of the week -  people are out drinking and dancing, relaxing with friends and blowing off some steam. I do not get to be one of those people. I don't get to be young and carefree and do YOLO-y type things because I'm taking a Summer class. (cue scary music) I have a Biology exam on Monday worth a whopping 22% of my grade! (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN) I should be reading over my powerpoints about meiosis and cell reproduction, but I'm not feelin' it. What better way is there to procrastinate than to stalk Miley's and Amanda's Twitter accounts?

Anyway, I hope y'all are out having a great time! Only 18 days left of this torture until I can actually get drunk have some fun, but who's counting?
