Long time, no see...

Wow, it really has been forever since I've written anything on here. And since I really need to be working on one of the two papers I have due Monday, what a better time to write!

I'm endlessly excited for the upcoming Thanksgiving/Christmas breaks... I love the holidays. They're usually really busy, but I get to see everyone I love, plus eat wonderful food. What could be better, really.
Plus, if it ever decides to dip below 70 outside, I can perhaps wear my wonderful new boots and scarves and all the enticing winter clothing. I'd just wear it anyway, but at that point it might look like I'd walked through a rainstorm by the time I arrived at class.

And now, a special note to a certain anonymous person who never reads this blog anyway: grow up, seriously. You're not a spoiled five year old child, so stop acting like one, or I might actually punch you in the face. Okay? Good.

On a more upbeat note, Bones and the Office are new tonight, so I have some more opportunities to procrastinate on my work. I should probably be more worried about my papers than I am... but this week has beaten me down, more than a little, and I would like nothing more than to curl up in bed and sleep. Forever. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to, spooning is always fun.

Hopefully I'll get around to writing more before another year passes... we can always hope, right? Thank you, dear Erica, for the inspiration.

It's finally cold...

But maybe 31 is a little extreme, especially when I have to go out in the evening to an exam. Thanks, mother nature.

Drama, why are you much more annoying than I remember you being in high school?
Also, delusional people annoy me quite a bit more than I previously thought.
Mitch, too. But he always kinda annoyed me, so there we go.

I can't wait to see all of you! Thank god for Christmas break, and no school work for once.

Also, Mitch wants to go on a fake date with one of us to figure out why women aren't so into him... so, everyone, be prepared. And maybe nauseated, if the mood so strikes.

My Post-Weekend Update

Sorry it took me so long to post, as usual. Last week was hellish in the amount of work I had to do, thankfully this week is looking a bit less stressful.

Will and I went shopping this weekend and got our costumes for Halloween finalized. We're going as Bond and the Bond girl, in case you didn't know, and it's quite exciting because it's our first couple costume. I found a black cocktail dress that isn't too skanky and Will, lucky him, doesn't have to do much other than wear a suit. I'll post pics on Facebook next weekend, in case you were wrought with worry about missing the fun.

It's getting wintry here finally. This is definitely my favorite time of the year, because I love sitting in front of the fire and drinking eggnog and wearing cute sweaters and jackets. Christmas is coming up relatively soon, and is only made more awesome by Erica's presence!

Hm. I think this might be the end of the post, but I'll write more later to make up for it.
I miss you guys!

Frustrations, mostly.

Sorry for the lapse in posting... between schoolwork and going home this past weekend I haven't had too much time. School is really trying to kick my ass this semester, but I'm managing.

So about this whole Alex thing, I'm beginning to think he really won't ever give up. He's taken to hugging me goodbye every time I see him, and continues with the little touches. And he does them in a casual way, so there's nothing quite concrete to object to.
Today he walked me back to me dorm after class, again, and then stayed to chat. After this a girl he knows walks up, and he starts telling her (apparently they both go swing dancing) that he needs to get me to come, and just kind of smiles at me. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
I don't really want to go dancing with him, but I have the feeling he's not going to just accept that I don't want to. I can't really tell him that having to dance with him and be sort of date-y is the reason, though. And all of this is annoying me today, especially because it's rainy and I'm feeling a little crappy.
Can't he just tell me he likes me so I can emphasize my disinterest? If he doesn't let up a little (or a lot) then I might be forced to write a scathing novel featuring a character based on him. Hehe. That might be fun.

Let's see what I have to do in the next few days: write a 5 page paper due Tuesday, make a bunch of flash cards for Art History, read 2 chapters in Astronomy, write an outline for my Spanish essay, and start a short essay. Gahhhh. I want a vacation, preferrably to somewhere exotic.

I'm thinking of asking for either an iPod or a Zen of some sort for a Christmas present, I need to do my research into them. Ever since my Zen reached its untimely fate, I've missed having a source of music to be the soundtrack of my walks to class. Not to mention I haven't put my music back onto my computer since it got wiped, so it might be a good opportunity to switch to iTunes if I so desire. The nanos do come in a lot of colors, which is rather tempting to me.

Isn't my life fascinating? Haha. Maybe the Alex stuff, but it's also quite a bit uncomfortable for me. Hopefully you ladies are entertained by my stories though...

It's Finally Friday...

Which is a huge relief for me. I have two tests next week I'll probably spend the weekend studying for, but I get to sleep in, so I can't complain too much.

I had to do a recording for Spanish today, and you probably know how much I detest speaking in Spanish in front of anyone. But it actually went better than I expected, and the two guys I was partnered with were fun to work with. So it wasn't as traumatic an experience as I might have expected. We had a really funny part where we were fake laughing at what one of them said, and then we actually started laughing at how stupid the fake laughter sounded. It was pretty great.

Tomorrow I'm probably studying for next week's test with Alex, aka my Astronomy boyfriend. I like to call him that to annoy Will, except he's not the jealous type.
Anyhow, I figure it might help me do better on the next test, so why not give it a chance. The only concern is that he might get the idea I'm into him. He knows I have a boyfriend now but sometimes guys can be very persistent. So I suppose we'll see what happens.

I get to go do laundry today! Isn't that fun. My weekends down in Austin are just a straight party. The Office wasn't on last night due to the vice presidential debates, which was quite disappointing. The Office is the reason I look forward to Thursdays, after all.
So this week was slightly less than spectacular, but it's school so I don't know what I expect.

I miss you all like crazy... come visit soon? Yes, even from France and Virginia. I might have to elope with my Astronomy boyfriend just so you have to come to see me!
Or just save me the awkwardness and come anyway!

Ramblings

I'm really tired today, which doesn't make too much sense because I slept fine last night. But it's Monday, so I suppose being sleepy is allowed.

This weekend was a really good one, getting to spend time with Will, Gee, David and my mom, too. Will, Gee and I went to Firewheel Saturday and had Chinese food, then went shopping. Will bought me a promise ring for my Christmas present, which is kind of early, I know. But it's really pretty! I can post the picture of it I found online if you all want to see it. I'll get it next time I come into town because my finger is a size 4.5, ridiculously small, so they have to size it for me.
I hate going into jewelry stores but I guess the end result is worth it.

I have two tests tomorrow, and I'm really not looking forward to them. They're both based mainly on memorization, so I get to spend most of today doing flash cards. Fun, no? It seems like we've barely started back to school, and all these tests are looming on the horizon.

I feel boring today. The only interesting stuff to happen was over the weekend. For instance, at Hot Topic I bought a Twilight poster, which is pretty awesome. Gee and I also had an intersting time at Pizza Hut in Rockwall, because we call in our order and drive to get it, only to find out someone had picked it up already. I don't get why you'd want to steal someone else's pizzas and pay for them, but apparently people like doing that. For us it was quite frustrating, though.
I also bought new shoes, brown moccasin-style ones, because I still hate my other brown shoes for the hellish blisters they gave me two weeks ago. New sunglasses were also on my shopping list, as the pieces of crap just broke on me when I was putting them on.

All in all... a fun weekend. Much more entertaining than life here at school. I miss you guys lots and lots, as usual.

Is it Christmas yet?

Today has, shockingly, been a good day so far, despite the fact that I had to wake up at 7:45 and go to Spanish class.

I was really dreading going because I checked my grade on the test I took last Monday and it was abysmal, to say the least. A 64 seemed especially terrible because I got an A in Spanish last semester, and didn't understand how I could suddenly be so clueless.
So I went to class, and when it was time to get our tests back I realized the professor had given me an 81 on the exam. Much confusion ensued, and when I talked to her about it she realized there are two Wilsons in class, so she must have mixed our grades up.
I'm quite happy now to realize I got a B, not failed, but I feel sorry for the poor other Wilson who must be quite disappointed. Still... I'm much happier now. Does that make me a bad person?

It doesn't hurt that Will's coming to see me today! He has most of the week off from work, and decided a trip to Austin would be fun. So I don't have to spend all day lonely and wrapped up in my homework.

I do, however, need to buy printer cartridges, as apparently I'm a moron when it comes to replacing them. Both of them needed replacing in the past week, and the result is that black ink just does not come out anymore, but the colored ink prints with giant stripes through it. The replacement cartridges were old though, so hopefully it's their fault, not mine.

The Office this week! I absolutely can't wait to see what's going to happen with everything they left unresolved last season. My dad might take me out to dinner Thursday night, and I can't very well refuse because my favorite show is on. But I'll catch up on it if I miss it... so I'm not too worried.

Maybe this is pointless, but I can't wait for Christmastime to be here, and November, too. James Bond on November 7, then Twilight the 21. I'm going to be broke from seeing those movies so many times, but I can think of worse fates than being money-less because of Daniel Craig and Edward Cullen.

I miss you all very much!

And I almost forgot, what happened this weekend.
My dad came down Saturday for the UT game (as usual) and he and his friend from college took me to lunch at a barbeque place. Then Dad bought me a UT shirt, which is actually cute, it has a longhorn on the hip on the right hand side. Free stuff is always appreciated, especially because I'm eternally broke.
Then I studied for all my classes, as I have two tests next week. Laundry and studying managed to take up much of the weekend. So nothing too exciting, I suppose.
