Really Stressed Out!

Choosing classes for next semester is really stressful. I went to see my advisor to discuss my options for next semester, and everything seemed alright at first. Then I got to thinking and started second guessing the classes I originally planned to take. To top that off when I went to register there was a hold on my account that my advisor forgot to take off after I met with her. So now I'm not able to even register, and I'm unsure about what I should take :( The whole situation is more trouble than its worth. On top of that I have so much work to do, as teachers are assigning everything at once to get grades in by the end of the semester.

Origin of Easter

With Easter being on Sunday I started thinking about the holiday itself. How does a "bunny" become the overall symbol of the Easter holiday? I looked it up and here is what I found:

Are We Really Safe Here?

So last night I was chillin in my friends room, and we all heard a loud POP. My first instinct was that someone just got shot, but everyone else thought that it was a skateboarder. Since the sound came from a close proximity I looked out the window to see if I could see anything. The first thing I saw was a white car do an immediate u-turn in the Panera parking lot, turn on flashing lights and speed toward the BP gas station. As I am watching the events taking place at the gas station, more cops start speeding down the road in pursuit of the shooter. Everyone at the gas station took one look at the guys body and drove away in a hasty fashion. After we observed the scene for a good while, we made out the persons body lying limp in a puddle of his own blood. This was a sickening thought. It was quite obvious that this person was dead just laying there so lifeless. If he even had a remote chance of survival then they would have brought in an ambulance, which they never did. I know this kind of stuff happens around here quite often, in fact my roommates and I saw the same thing happen right by the Cathedral that we walk past everyday. The chilling part is that it happens so close to campus, and we are never even alerted. After seeing that guys body I'm really going to think twice about what I do at night.

10 things I'm looking forward to next year!

1. Moving into 8 1/2 Canal apartments
2. Having my own room to myself
3. Having my own bathroom
4. Being able to cook my own food 
5. Being able to sleep whenever I want, and not be kept up by my roommates
6. Hopefully having a decided major, and taking some classes that relate to it
7. Getting really good grades
8. Making new progress in the gym
9. Setting new goals for myself
10. Enjoying life one day at a time

Great Food

My birthday was on Friday, and I went out to dinner with my family to a Japanese steak house, which is called Kabuto. It's a really nice restaurant that I really enjoy eating at every year. I have never had a bad meal there ever. Its family style seating so you will most likely be sitting with a few more people. There are eight seats to a table. This is no ordinary table though, in the middle of the table is a flat top grill that your meal will be prepared on. When your order is placed fresh chicken, shrimp, fillet mignon, rice, eggs, vegetables, and sauces are all loaded up onto a cart and wheeled to you table by an excellent chef. He checks your order and then begins preparing your meal right there in front of you with plenty of flashy tricks, flips, and jokes. It's a really awesome experience that is fun for the whole family. Not to mention that the meal is out of this world delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good time and a great meal.    

My Teacher's a Witch!

On Thursday I took my second exam in my Anthropology class, and I have to say that I most likely failed that one as well. The final grade in the class is based of of three test and that's it. On the first test the mean grade for the entire class was a 60%. In my opinion that reflects heavily on the teacher. If everyone is failing her test then she is obviously not doing her part. I studied hard for that test because it covered so much material. Even after all of that nothing that I studied prepared me for that test. It was filled with random questions that I really had no idea where she got them from. Apparently everyone else thought the same thing since everyone got a 60%. Every day in class she starts talking about random topics in her life that don't even pertain to the course, and then she'll give us a test on material we have yet to talk about. To top it all of this isn't even the teacher that I signed up for, she was actually replaced by this evil witch craft studying women. That's right the first day of class she told us she studied witch craft. Bottom line do not take a class taught by Amy Nichols-Belo.

Perfectionist?

I am very sorta OCD, because I like everything to be perfect, and just the way I have it. I hate when things are out of order, or not in the right spots. I really irritates me when someone just moves my stuff around. I'm a really chill person and am really laid back, but I just like to have everything clean, neat, and in its proper place. Every time I am assigned a project or some kind of work, I just can't turn it in unless I feel that I have given 110% and it's perfect in my eyes. I think this is the reason that I give it my all in everything that I do.

I thought this was pretty funny:

Tear Gas!

After the heartbreaking lose to butler on Saturday, many flooded the streets to vent their frustrations. Hoards of people rushed to broad street where they where met by a very well prepared police force. Some friends and I decided to check out the insanity, and where in shock to see swat teams, armed with riot shields, mace, tear gas, dogs, horses, and prisoner buses. Once on broad people were really drunk and doing some of the dumbest things I've ever seen. The police force was not yet intervening at this point. People started to shoot off fireworks, and light things on fire creating a total uproar. The cops threw some tear-gas in hopes of breaking it up, but people quickly came back. It was not until some people lite a tree on fire that the police started moving in pushing us back. People started to throw things at them, such as bottles, and rocks. When they pushed everyone back onto Laurel, people would not move and decide to fight back. That is the point when the police started using rubber bullets, and mortaring tear-gas into the crowd. If you have never experienced tear-gas, then your lucky, because that was insanely uncomfortable. It took my breathe away and almost forced me to throw up. My eyes burned so much that they water and my nose just started running. Everyone scattered and ran to safety, for me and my friends it was back to the Rhodes/Brandt patio. Certainly that was a night that I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
