Happenings…

So one mention of coffee from a friend of ours and mine and sarah’s ears perked up! Suddenly we had a craving for some coffee from the oh so wonderful e-city java!!!!! So we JUMP up and run to the car because we can’t stand the excitement! Well so we didn’t really run….but that seemed better than the walking. So we get there and I had already decided what I was having and apparently according to the guy at the coffee shop you can see a black tiger drinker as soon as they walk through the door. Not quite sure how he could tell that, but he wasnt good enough to tell whether I wanted whip cream or not. So needless to say I still hold the power! So what’s a black tiger you may ask? A black tiger consists of a shot of espresso, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup! YUM! The best drink you will ever have [that is if you like coffee and ice cream] and according to what was said while we were there tonight, they’re ordered a lot! Anyway so while we were waiting, I look up and notice this little sign that they put their specials on. Well it says, “Miss your pancakes? Try our new pancake latte.” YUCK! I can’t imagine a drink that tastes like pancakes. So I asked the guy if he had tried it and of course his curiosity had previously gotten the best of him and tried it.  He actually said it was pretty good, definitely didnt expect that response. Well then the adventure continues when our friend from MOES came in…haha! anyway that was the excitement of tonight and the wonderful black tiger!

So today at 10 o’clock am Spring Break officially starts! Oh how I have needed this break. It seems that all of my teachers decided to get together and make all their tests around the same day….but mostly ALL this week…there were a few last week so it’s been an interesting 2 weeks. Needless to say I would like to be able to make the comment that I get to kick back and not think a lick about school while I’m on Spring Break….but WRONG!!!! It’s sad I know. I’m not sure who reads these things, but I’m sure some people are thinking….”I wish she’d stop this complaining about school.”

My plans include… Charleston from Saturday-Tuesday with the girls [YIPPI!!!!!!!], working on a term paper, studying for philosophy test, spending time with my friend and her baby, getting my room together/decorating, spending time with my mom, and resting!

I hope that all of those who have spring break enjoy it!

So this time it isn’t a movie that distracts me… it  is this thing. This blog if you will. It can be quite distracting. Well honestly it’s a nice way to take a break from writing a paper that I would rather not be doing, but of course in college they don’t say “so if you want to write this paper that would be nice but if not that’s fine too.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they did? Not really because that would defeat the whole purpose. Everything can’t be handed to you. I have come to a lot of realizations lately and have only posted one of those on here, but the amazing thing is that these realizations are actually having an impact on my life and how I choose to look at things and try to do them different. This is a sad blog because it has absolutely no point. It is just giving me a break from writing this philosophy paper. So…hope that was a fun read! haha!

I didn’t have a nightmare last night, that I can remember atleast.  I do remember at one point in the night/early morning, I woke up and was really close to the edge of my bed [which for any of you who have lived in a dorm and had to sleep on a loft, you know how scary that is] and I was afraid to stick my leg over the side of my bed because I thought that something would grab it. I’m not sure exactly what I thought that “something” was supposed to be, but that’s not the first time I’ve thought that. When I was younger I used to be afraid to sleep on top of the covers for the fear that  that “something” might come and get me. Apparently being under the covers=safety! haha! So everyone reading this can rest assured that I actually did get sleep last night, I know you were worried!

is probably going to be a weird nightmare because I don’t have normal nightmares….no…I have the ones where I get bit by an eel.

Here is a suggestion…Don’t watch a scary movie before you’re about to go to sleep. This usually will end up in a night of nightmares, tossing and turning, or no sleep at all. I’m guessing that mine will be the nightmare. I decided to be extremely productive and watch a movie, in particular The Fog, instead of preparing for a math test that I have tomorrow. Who needs to prepare anyway, right? So this movie, you can tell by the cover that it’s a scary movie, but did I think twice? Of course not!!! I mean it’s just a movie, how bad can it be? Well I always forget the reason why I watch scary movies in the middle of the day…until I make the mistake and end up watching one at night (much like I did tonight) then QUICKLY realize why I vow to only watch them in the daytime. It’s like once that dark hits outside it’s more likely that the movie is true….I don’t know, but I’m almost positive that I’m not the only one who feels this way. So needless to say I made the mistake of watching The Fog when it’s pitch black dark outside and after turning it off about five times and turning the volume all the way down a couple of times, I finally made it through. I have to say that if you can make it all the way through it, it actually is a good movie with an interesting ending. So…take my advice (or don’t, but if you don’t then don’t complain to me about the nightmares you get!) and stick to scary ones during the day!
