productivity

I've had this week off of school and had a giant list of things to accomplish because I have all this "extra time." How much have I actually accomplished? next to nothing. I hate being lazy. So I'm going to turn off The Rock and get off my butt and finish a few more things this afternoon. I mean I still have 3 full days before school starts, right?

The weekend

Heidi was here this weekend to visit. It was a really great weekend. I was so glad that she came and so sad that she had to leave so soon after she got here. See her blog for more details. She's a much better writer and her stories will be funnier. :)

While she was here she essentially forced me into filling out a profile for eharmony. I'd like to say that she really had to twist my arm to do it, but she didn't. The profile was actually fairly interesting. I haven't ever thought about some of the questions that they asked me (in order to give me "matches"). So that part I liked. But I got to thinking about the whole thing and didn't like what I discovered. Let me explain. My "matches" sounded great, like we'd have a really great time getting to know each other. But obviously they want to meet girls and I would like to meet boys, so why can't we just find each other on our own? Where are these people in real life? I visited a couple of bars this weekend with Heidi and all I saw were slimy men hitting on under-dressed women. I don't want anything to do with that. so these "matches of mine" sure weren't there, so where are you? Where do I meet you without having to have someone running a computer program introduce us.
It seems alarming to me that you have to pay what seems like an obscene amount of money per month to have different "levels" of communication with these people. I won't do it. I just refuse. I'm not saying that it can't work or that it wouldn't even work for me... But having to pay to meet people? I don't think so.

almost done

today I finished the lab course of my first quarter. Where did the time go? It was a great finish: kitchen clean-up, breakfast all together, then a group of us didn't have to take the final because we had high enough grades and perfect attendance. pretty sweet.
Tomorrow I take the sanitation and safety final (bleh) and then I am done for a whole week. I've been super super busy these last days and feel like I haven't been outside (except to walk to and from my car) for a long time. I need to change that.
Heidi comes in 3 days. :)

food

I made a startling discovery the other day. I don't cook for myself anymore, well, let me rephrase. I don't cook for myself at home anymore. when I'm home I eat a lot of left overs, i crave quesadillas or hot dogs and canned chili. It seems so strange to me. I make great food at school 3 days a week and it doesn't carry over to the other part of my life. That worries me a little.
If I cook for a living will I continue to eat crap at home? I don't have the answer now, I guess I'll have to wait and see.
I've been amazingly homesick recently. It's weird how it is really strong sometimes. And it's weird to miss 2 homes (my parents and my life that I had in Los Angeles). Yesterday was my best friends birthday and I didn't get to celebrate with her.
that sucks.

2 weeks

I have two weeks of this quarter left. This week of classes and a week of finals. I'm amazed at how quickly the time has passed. School will be over before I know it.

Surprise!

Last night I was surprised with a surprise birthday party held at the Capp residence. They managed to pull party together with my friends that live here... needless to say I was so pleased. There were even a couple of people there that I didn't know. neat.
We ate incredible food and then played a rousing game of nertz... i was going to post the scores but I decided I didnt' want to embarrass the other players by how much me and nate dominated! ;-)
I have great friends.

Birthdays are weird. Mostly because I take photos of myself that look that like this. but I had a great day. ditched school, made breakfast, got some phone calls, opened a few gifts, lounged, great dinner with the Capps, free dessert, laughs, catch phrase and nertz. Can't get much better than that.

nertz scores for the evening.
Capp: 138, Dee: 137, Anne: 124
Awfully close.
