So I have been working on another online journal on Blogger. I will soon give you the address- once I feel it is ready. I'll probably post the same things on both for a while but eventually I will no longer use this journal-except for the archives. I feel aol is quite limited and if I actually study abroad this summer I want to be able to write about it. I have found that aol is not very user friendly in other countries. There you have it.

Plus, I have REALLY exciting news. I got an ipod nano! While this means I will probably not be able to eat for the next month- its quite worth it. And let me tell you, that thing is tiny. I know, I know, there are all those commerials about just how small it is, but it doesn't compare to when you actually hold it.

1:16:35 AM EDT I was productive. I raised thought provoking questions in class. I had a delicious turkey ruben and a couple of beers at Skippers. I read 100 of the 200 pages I need to read for my poltical science class by Tuesday. I took a nap (one of my favorite activities of all time). I gossiped with my room mate. All in all it was a great day- not to mention it will (hopefully) be the last 80 degree day for the rest of the year! Fall is here!

Last night I had to present a chapter for my political science class. I have an extreme dislike for speaking in front of people, especially when I'm forced to talk about something I'm not passionate about. So, as I was getting ready for class I noticed a little bottle of cranberry juice in the fridge. Mmmmm, I thought to myself, I could add a little vodka to that and then maybe speaking in front of people wouldn't be so bad. As it turns out it helped- a little. I still did a horrible job. There was one of those moments where I tried to look away from my notes and completely lost my train of though and the room grew overwhelmingly silent as everyone looked at me. My face was probably close to being purple it was so red. I think I even mumbled to myself. I really don't remember how the rest went, I probably blacked out from all the blood that had rushed to my head. But because of Mr. Vodka, I didn't sweat or have an anxiety attack before hand. 

* I just wanted to add that I totally made a smart ass comment in class before my presentation that made everyone laugh- ahhh, the power of liquid courage.

10:35:35 PM EDT Okay, I love it here at Athens. But, I have been going home almost every weekend- which does not allow for much of a social life to form here. I'm really not experiencing the full potential of this place. Sure, I have some really great reasons to go home (really, really great reasons) yet, I only have two years here. I always wanted to go away for school and here I am with this opportunity and I run home every weekend like some homesick freshman- and I'm not even homesick (I haven't been gone long enough to even have that happen). So here is my pledge for the rest of the quarter- I will only allow myself one trip home. There I've said it- now I have to stick with it.

Ever wonder what would happen if you cooked with milk that had gone bad and then ate it? I'm guessing most would say, "No, I never wondered about that." Yet, there have to be some people who are curious, right. So, let me fill you in. Because today, I cooked with bad milk without realizing it, until of course, I had already ate the food. As of now (4:40- about 3 hours after eating), I am begininng to feel a bit of a grumble in the belly region. A little pain is also shooting around in there as well. I'll check back in a hour to let you know how the process of bad milk eating is going...

* Okay, its 7:35- and let me tell you about some pain and incredible indigestion (not to mention trips to the WC). I've even taken some pills. Why oh why didn't I check the date on the milk jug?

So I went to Louisville over the weekend for three reasons: the rockstar had a show, my room mate's Mom came into town, and to pick up more stuff.

Then on Friday night, as the rockstar and I are walking out of the bar where he performed, this normal guy (young and perhaps drunk) seated next to a young lady, asks me to come over to him. I walk those five steps and the rockstar follows close behind. He says, "I don't mean no disrespect if with your with him, but I had to tell you that you're beautiful." The girl next to him says, "She is." As if she was telling the rockstar.

My response (after the shock wore off), "Thank you. That's nice." giggle, giggle.

How awesome is that? That couldn't have been timed any better if I had paid that guy to say that in front of the rockstar. Who, by the way, seemed pretty impressed that someone felt compelled to tell me I was beautiful.

To be completely honest when it comes to religious thinking- I don't. My knowledge of Christianity is about a broad as my knowledge of Buddhism. Sure my Mom made us go to church as children, I even went to church camp for a couple of summers. But when you're 13 its more about the boys there, than God. My goal, once I was in college, was to learn about different religions around the world- and then decide for myself which one I believed in the most and declare it as my own. But after my one and only religion class (and getting a C in it) I found that I just don't get it. I don't understand religion.

But, I have gotten way off subject. So now, here I am in grad school and things are going great. Really great. Oddly great. Could it be fate that I am here? If it wasn't for my ex boyfriend I would have never known this beautiful school even existed. If he hadn't been acting like a turd in the spring I would have never decided to get an apartment in Athens. Then, how about the fact that my room mate is from Thailand and I'm studing in the Southeast Asian program? And I'm taking Thai. Crazy! Or if I didn't break up with my boyfriend, I would never met the rockstar. I would not have gotten closer to my friends at the library. The last 2 months would not have been as wonderfully (if thats a word) awesome as they have been. I would probably be some big tub of goo and unhappy working at Sears. So is it fate?

10:49:49 AM EDT I'm sitting in a lounge area outside the classroom where I have Thai. One of my fellow classmates sits next to me and we start chatting. Then he says, "Excuse me, but you have a leaf on your head." I think, huh? Then I reach up and grab a nice size (about 4x2 inches) leaf off of my head. I start laughing, because who knows how long this thing has been on my head. He says something like he didn't know if it was some kind of new trend or not so he didn't want to say anything at first. I'm glad he did!

8:54:39 PM EDT Okay, I like to watch America's Next Top Model. Sure its not the best thing on tv. It will not change the world. BUT I LOVE IT. So after my Professor ruined my day, my cable company ruined my night here- they do not carry UPN. I actually called them and had to confess to watching this show. Which means no ANTM- at all! They carry PAX- who watches PAX. Not only that but both channels 8 and 9 are ABC. Throw me a a frickin bone! So what do I do? I call my Mom to have her record it and what happens? Her VCR breaks!! F**K! I hate TIME WARNER CABLE!!!!!!!!
