zoningfarout Well the end of the year is here. I'm officially a Junior. It's kinda of freaky. We moved into Allegany. I love it. I completely unpacked in a night and got to go out to eat with Erin's parents. It was really fun. I'm ready for the summer to really start. Moving really rejunivated me. Well I've got some stories to share, but I've gotta get ready for work...later.

Lately...
Wow, I feel kind bad. I haven't updated for real in a long, long time. I feel that so much had happened. I'm just getting over a stomach virus Alyssa decided to gift me with. Math is retarded, and I have a test in it tomorrow. I'm going home this weekend. I've decided to stay with CVS even though I wont get a vacation with them. And ResLife is retarded b/c they're making the RAs com back on the 15th of August. I'm very anti-reslife. I don't like Easton and have decided to beg TiRease for a transfere. Yeah I really think that will happen. Umm, I ate 2 pieces of toast today! Time to study.

Yup, that's been it. The only way I can describe my life right now. It's not necessarily wrong, it just depends on how you look at it.

Wow...
Talk about an interesting day yesterday. I failed a Calc test, I worked, and got put in a good mood for no reason...well, maybe it was Michelle...maybe. I got ready to go out, and man did I feel hot. Michelle looked incredible, and we totally got looks all freakin night. We went to Joe's and had a blast. Michelle and I are great party partners. The circuit ride back was interesting, considering someone was thinking he was getting some, when in fact he wasn't. Opps, was I not susposed to say that? So I got back to Easton in one piece. I cooked my Speghettios and jumped into bed. Then the freakin fire alarm went off. Someone on my floor pulled it, surprise surprise. So I get all the way down stairs and wait for the fire department to check things out. False alarm, but problems. They couldn't reset the fire alarm, so they had to turn it off. So the RAs had to go on rounds, an hour each. I got on the 4-5 am round. It sucked at life. Today, I got up at 1 pm and went shopping. Michelle is going to the Navy Ball next weekend, lucky bastard, and needed a dress. This was very exciting, because I got to try on dresses too. We found a dress in JCPenny's and man can I she looked freak AMAZING. What a hottt momma! So now I get ready to go out for this awesome weekend round two. Enjoy your weekend, I know I am!

Fun Stuff...
Courtsey of Melissa...yes, Meliss I can follow orders (sometimes)... I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.
Yay! I can focus! Well somewhat. I'm ten billion times better than before.
So it's this is my mood...aghaeurhgakmnrewgkjabnkgjnekajgn. I can't explain it. I have zero motivation. I can get excited about something (mainly Geology) and in the next 5 minutes be back to mellow. This is so strange. Maybe it's the rain, maybe it's my mind reeling, maybe it's just that time of the year to be this way. I have NO IDEA! I want to sleep at least then my thinking wont intrude on my dreams. I have nothing to complain about, but hey you never know what I'll come up with after a little bit of time. Here I am...blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAH!

I love when for some strange reason I become productive. I think secretly I have been so all along, doing Calc on spring break c'mon!, but today I got all the little stuff that I've pushed off done. My day is 10 times better because I got to go to massage class. Kelly Clark(son) called me today to tell me she missed me. So how could I be upset. I've been kinda withdrawn lately, but that because I've had a good deal on my mind. I apologize for not being my normal bubbly self, but good news, I'm on my way to a good recovery. Well I think I will find some more busy work...
Home is where the heart is...right? I'm assuming so, becuase that's where I enjoyed the company of my animals and my cats (animals meaing my family, esp. Trey, Tyler, and Dad). I needed to recharge my battery mucho. I took some naps and so me time. Alyssa and I drove back to UM to pick up my medicine, yeah I'm that forgetful. So UM can handle Lyss for only a few hours, hell I can handle Lyss on my own for only a few hours. Thank goodness she wanted to go home pretty quickly. I read a good trash novel this weekend, instead of studying. But I did do 4 sections of Calc, so I'm proud. Now I watch the Masters and contemplate studying for my Historical Exam...which is tomorrow morning! Yikes!

Tired...
Wow, I've wanted to sleep all day. I will go to bed early early tonight! Yay me! This going to the gym crap everyday is wearing (hehehe literally) me out. I go for an hour and a half and my abs have not stopped complaining. I'm so proud and so pooped at the same time. I got an 86% on my math exam!!! HOEray!
Saturday night at 10 pm my mom called me to let me know that my Aunt Kelly's daughter is ready to meet the family. Chelsey (I don't know how she spells it) was given up for adoption 22 years ago. She was born 5 days after my parents got married. A few years ago my dad had told me that Chelsey existed and my Aunt Kelly wrote to her all of the time. As it turns out, Chelsey opened her file and contacted my Aunt in October. My dad called me a 9:30 am on Sunday and told me that I should be home by 6 pm because Chelsey was coming over. I would get to meet my one and only older cousin. I went straight home, saw Jade, took a nap, and cleaned the house. Aunt Kelly arrived first and was deeply touched that I drove all the way home to meet her daughter (like I would have done otherwise). She came in and I was struck by how much she did look like a McCleaf. We talked at my house then went to visit Jessie, on of my Aunt Kelly's daughters, at her work. We had dinner and I really begun to like Chelsey. She is extremely kind and very easy to talk to. My parents drove us back to my house to pick up our cars to go to our respective houses. I give her my email address and cell phone number and we made plans to hang out. As I drove home yesterday at 11:30 pm, I really felt the affects of meeting my older cousin. I don't know how to explain how happy I am. To see my Aunt Kelly so fulfilled was a treat. I could see how well Chelsey was fitting into her new family and can tell that she will fit into her new extended family just as well. I feel as though I just had a life altering/shaking experience and it was amazing. I am not the oldest grandchild on the McCleaf's side, but that's ok. We can share the title, jk. I am still unable to fully explain my feelings today. I could not get out of bed to go to class this morning because of all these amazing feelings. Just sorting them out is an interesting experience. Wow is all I can say...so...wow...
So last night I was completely pooped. I went to bed at 10:30 pm. Yay me. Then I decided not to go to Calc so I could get extra sleep. Yay me again. I had a long day and had to take that make up Math exam. My teacher is a witch. She made the exam that morning and needless to say, screwed it up. I did problem one like fifteen times and get really frustrated and scared. Then she comes out to collect me test. She asked me how I was doing. I told her I was doing horrible. So she asked what the problem was. I told her my numbers weren't working out. She asked what I was supposed to be doing. I told her. She then proceeded to tell me that the numbers weren't going to work out, because she screwed up the numbers. I was pissed and relieved at the same time. What and interesting combination. So then I finished my labs and grabbed a cheesesteak (which I had been craving the whole day, since I had not eatten all day) then headed off to my room. I ate then checked my email. That's where the awesomeness of the day began. I got an email back from Paul Lowman, he's a PhD at Goddard specializing in tectonics research. I had emailed him last night, and he returned my email this morning at 9:30! He wants to meet with me and discuss possible summer oppertunities! How cool is that?!?!? It turns out, he taught at UMD and is looking forward to speaking with me! So I went to the library and found his most recent book. I've already started reading it. It's sooooo good! (yes I know I'm a dork). But before I went back to my room, I stopped into see Kim. She was wirking on her rocks for Bill, since he's in the country this week. I got a mini tour and am now really excited to get in the labs next semester. Wow, how times have changed. Just 2 weeks ago I was thinking I made a bad choice with Geology, not thinking I could do it. Look at me now. LoL. Well, I will stop being dorky and get onto homework. Try to stop laughing now!

Busy Tuesday...
GEO Forum today. So I got up at 5:30 am, that's right I said 5:30 AM. What a pain. I networked alittle and got some good ideas, but over all a complete waste of time. I kinda wish I had gone to my regular classes. Oh well. I couldn't do the make up math test today so I have to do it tomorrow, making my 2 class and 2 lab day even longer. Yay for me. Oh the upside there will be heavy celebration of the week being over. I'm thrilled to pieces. Only thing planned is covering Juls for a few hours on Friday. No biggy. (Sorry my mind is scattered, hence the jumpiness) Watch Lion King 1 1/2 with GODfried yesterday. God how I love that movie. I may have a date with Michelle tonight. I'm such a dork. Oh and BTW, I stole that movie from my sister, just like I took Monster's Inc. Hehe. Ummm, I'm done now. Later.

Spring Break...
What an incredible week. I cannot begin to describe how much fun I had and how grateful I am that I was able to go. I think my time with Julia was definitely a big step in our friendship. We really got close this week. It’s funny, a salesclerk asked Juls and I if we were sisters. I think that says a lot for us, considering we look nothing alike. California, in particular, Pasadena really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I spent a week with a graduate student attending Cal Tech. Andy may me see that going that far in education is possible, and I could do it. I’ve never known someone who is accomplishing this. It is an inspiration. I also felt the final pieces of my major falling into place. As a few of you know, I’ve been wavering. But going to Cali showed me the practical application of my major. I was identifying land forms and being able to explain the “So what?” question. I am certainly going to be a rockologist. After speaking with Michelle, we’ve both come to this conclusion. We belong out in Southern California. The atmosphere, the people, the weather, the opportunities (etc) all fit us. We are free spirits and California is very conducive to those. So what did I do all break? Here’s the run down, if you want to know more read Julia’s Live Journal (under My Friends) or just ask me. Sat. Fly out Sun. Venice Beach Andy made soup for us Mon. NOTHING Pizza Hut delivers We made dinner for Andy Tue. Universal Studios Hollywood Sushi place Wed. The La Brea Tar Pits (the the tar tar pits) The Paige Museum (Natural History) Tour of Cal Tech Dinner at Mr. Kay’s (pizza place) Thu. The Getty (Art Museum) Fancy Lunch at the Getty Hollywood Shopping In and Out Burger Fri. Hiking at Echo Mountain Happy Hour at the Ath Fun times at Andy’s Sat. Fly home Sun. Mommy made pancakes Hair cuts Shopping School

Clubbin'...
How come I always go out on a Thursday night when I know I have class the next day at 8 am? I really don't understand myself. But this time was worth it. Let me start at the beginning... I had IMed Julia that I really wasn't in the mood to go clubbing. She said it was ok and asked if I was ok, which I was, just not in the mood for clubbing. So then I went down to her room to see what kind of interesting clothes she got when she went shopping. They were certainly something I would never picture her in, but WOW did she look hott! Kelly came up and talked awhile and then Erin come down from the 8th floor. Then Phase One of the Peer Pressure commenced. Erin and I got butts wagged in your faces and interesting dancing from Julia and Kelly. So we both caved. Then I got ready (which didn't take half as long as usual, I'm amazed!). Godfried IMed me outta of the blue to see what was up. I convinced him to go down to Juls with me to hang out. We had fun down there getting ready. Kelly came up and Phase Two of Peer Pressure was used to influence Godfried to come with. He broke down and wound out coming. Driving to Bar Baltimore was interesting because Julia was driving and she's from Indiana/New Jersay. But she knew the way better than Kelly, Erin, or I did (my excuse is that I usually come down from the north east side of Baltimore). Oh I got to ask directions at the Marriott, which she didn't help us with, then use their bathroom. Let me tell you, it was the most amazing bathroom I've ever been in. I felt like a princess! We got there and had a blast. Making fun of the scantilly dressed girls and sketch guys was hurlious. I had a blast in the club. McDonald's time! We shared two number 5s, 10 piece nuget meal. The lady behind the counter was soooo nice, she gave us 5 smaller cups instead of two big ones. It was awesome. We got home at 3 am. I got up for class at 7:30 am. Wow what a night! OMG I almost forgot!!! I leave for California in a little over 27 hours! Wow! So soon!!!

New friends...
I know I tend to get sidetracked by my life in Easton Hall, as interesting as that really is, but I do want to share with everyone some of the people who I've met within my major who are really awesome. First off there's Kim. She and I have a very similar senses of humor, it's scary. I was sitting in lab today thinking how cool it was to have a person that awesome in my classes. (BTW I better like her since she's in 3 out of my 4 classes this semester!) But really, she's smart and easy to talk to. I'm so glad I've met her. Then there's Dusty. She's my partner in crime. We've slowly gotten to know one another and I think she's pretty cool. We tend to find our teacher interesting and enjoy the gossip. I've got to say, Geomorph field trips wouldn't be half as interesting without her. I've come to realize that my major is one of the most interesting majors out there, especially where the people are concerned. It is it's own *click* (I hate that word, hence the specialness of it here)(WOW "specialness is a real word! I didn't know that!) I felt like the odd ball in the beginning, but I always had people like Kim to help me out. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the Geology Clan. As most of you can tell, I'm in a much better mood today. I'm feeling better since I talked things out yesterday, and the Olive Garden trip with Michelle didn't hurt either. Hanging out last night with my "Irish" group was memorable as always. Here is a quote from my friend, who, I declare! will remain anonymous: "7 or 8 shots (of H2O) and staying up til 4 do not mix with either an 8 am group meeting (considering i was still drunk when i got up at 7) or classes...only with sleeping until quarter of 3."
I really can't explain it. I've been in the worst mood lately. I really don't feel like myself anymore. I cannot make sense of anything right now. School sucks. I have my final week of midterms this week, and wow did it start off with a bang. I studied my ass off and still feel as though I did horrible. Let's see what other wonderful academic stuff did I have today. Oh yeah, I got a 61% on my math test. The average was a 50%. Guess what my math teacher wants to do about this??? Oh let me tell you, make the freakin already impossible worksheets HARDER so that it will even out with her tests. Is she freaking crazy. The worst thing about it is that I don't think my teacher curves. If I get a fucking D in this class and have to take it over again...AHHHHHHHHHH! So what else has been bothering me. Oh yes, I'm bored out of my ever-lovin mind! I do the same things everyday. I have no love life to speak and socially I'm getting bored. And you all know what happens when Ashley gets bored...she thinks too damn much. What the hell. I'd give anything for some drama right now...good or bad. People who excel should cease to exist. Not really, but you get my drift. Off to dinner with Michelle. Thank goodness I have a dinner date. Love you Michelle!
