6:19 pm	What Major is Right for You? You scored as History/Anthropology/LiberalArts. You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in History, Anthropology, or related majors (e.g., African and African-American Studies, Chinese, Classics, Cultural Studies, Economics, English, French, Geography, German, Greek, Hebrew, International Studies, Philosophy, Sociology, Women's Studies, or other Liberal Arts majors). It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests.

11:56 pm	Random entry.... Someone IMed me because they saw my livejournal. I wasn't around at the time, and I accidently closed the message box. Anyways, I thought it was cool that someone wanted to talk to me from reading my journal, so if it was you, try IMing me again. Maybe I'll be around this time. :o) I think it was David or Daniel or something. Sorry I don't remember, but try again! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:55 pm	This movie is rated C for Craptastic So Julie, Cindy, and I watched this movie called "Zombie Nation." I will never get those two hours of my life back and I hate myself for that. Or Julie for picking the movie out. :o) First of all, the pictures on the movie case aren't even from the movie. They make the zombies look like zombies, and slightly frightening. The zombies in the movie are normal people with black circles around their eyes, kind of like Captain Jack Sparrow. I found this user rating on www.imdb.com and thought I would post it because it says pretty much everything: 1)No zombie action till the last few minutes. 2)they are only zombies in the sense that they have dark circles under their eyes and in close inspection, they have bad skin. 3)they talk and get jobs as cops...which means they went to basic training...as zombies...no one noticed. 4)Previous cops somehow don't seem to have a big problem with an officer going into a warehouse with a female and then coming out several hours later with a big duffle bag and NO female. 5)The police station is apparently so poor it is housed in a warehouse. 6)Voodoo rites? Just avoid. For the love of god. Avoid. Haha. I love that review. It's so perfect. He's right. AVOID! Unless you wish to cause yourself pain. (Comment on this)

7:51 pm	Yoga Meditation I just wanted to say I hate you all! I go to yoga with a group of friends and EVERY one of them falls asleep during the mediation while I'm forced to listen to the entire story about the ball of light/energy. Maybe one day I'll remember what it's like to not have insomnia and to be able to fall asleep in less than two hours. Or maybe you all will develop chronic insomnia and know how I've felt for the last ten years. Either is okay with me. :o) I know I shouldn't wish insomnia on my friends, but what can I say? I'm jealous. Current Mood: exhausted (Comment on this)

8:58 pm	Valentine's Day In high school, I started celebrating Valentine's Day by wearing all black to boycott the holiday. I thought it was crappy because it was too commercial, and because people threw around the word "love" without necessarily understanding its meaning. I took a break from that last year to go have an amazing dinner with someone who really loved me and who I loved so much. This year I don't really know what to think. I'll be spending the evening watching "Hannibal Rising" with some friends. I don't think this will really compare to last year, but hopefully it will keep my mind off what I don't have. It was so easy for awhile. But the easiness kind of faded. Things aren't as bad as they used to be, but I'm still finding myself upset every now and then, and thinking about Valentine's Day is certainly not helping. Ug. It's a stupid holiday based on an ancient orgy. Why let it get to me? Current Mood: depressed (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:25 pm	My Life Thus Far Okay so here's my not really love-related spiel. My first semester at UWF (Spring 2005), I had a lot of trouble making friends. I don't know if it was because I can mid-year, but friend making was just about impossible. At FAU, I met almost all my friends through the RA job, so I applied at UWF. I got the job, but friend making still didn't come easy. I did make a few friends I'm still in touch with, but it wasn't like I expected. Probably because at FAU the staff count was 14, and at UWF it was like 55. So by fall 2005, I was pretty depressed, and planning on transferring back to FAU. I'd had enough of feeling lonely. (And here's the mini love part) But then Tyler and I became friends, and then started going out a couple months later, and I now had that really good friend I had been longing for. So I stayed. It didn't matter to me that I didn't really have too many other friends, because we spent so much time together. And then, of course, we broke up. I immediately went back to feeling like I had before we were together. Worse actually. Because in addition to losing my best friend, I felt like I had walked away from true love and that I would never be able to get that back. I was depressed. Probably more so than anyone realized. I was ready to quit school and move home because I felt so alone. I guess it was the logic part of me that won, realizing that the classes I needed to graduate wouldn't be offered again for like 3 or 4 semesters, so I stayed. And, like I said earlier, a few days ago, things just kind of clicked. I realized that without realizing it, I had made friends. Really good friends that I can hang out with and whatnot. I'm still looking for that "kindred spirit" friend, but this is quite an improvement. :o) I feel happier now than I have in months. And the happiness I felt with Tyler was dependent on him, so I think this happiness is better. :o) I've gotten to the point where I like my life. I wish graduate school admissions were going better, but I'll work through it. Life is pretty good right now. I have a lot of good friends that I can hang out with. I've got hobbies. I'm getting out and seeing Pensacola, sometimes spontaneously. :o) I've become obsessed with yoga and running, so I'm in pretty good shape. And UWF just mailed me my diploma, so the last 3.5 years have finally paid off! So what do ya think? I think my life is going better than I previously thought. :o) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:42 pm	Rambling thank yous Hey guys. Thanks a lot. :o) I'll find something not love-related to post soon. :o) How about this? I love the little George Foreman Champ. :o) It's cute and makes quick French toast and grilled cheeses. Eventually I'll brave cooking chicken. Eventually.... I'm off to yoga for flexibility. It would probably be more exciting if I wasn't already freakishly flexible. :o) But it's all good. Power yoga kicks my ass, so this is a nice relaxing class. :o) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:33 pm	:o) Hello world. Once again, I don't know if anyone still reads this but I thought I should update. Recently, about 4 days ago, I started feeling good. I seemed to have regained clarity that I hadn't experienced in, oh say, 5 months. I love how I am feeling now. Looking back on the last five months, I can't fathom what I was thinking. I know it's normal to mourn over a relationship, but I wish I could have that much of my life back, because so much was lost on depression and crying and wondering if things would ever work out. And now? Now I realize that maybe we were "just too different." I was blinded by whole-hearted love while Tyler and I were together, and I wouldn't have wanted anything to change. But now I realize that I was settling for someone with a different system of morals than I have, and I should never do that. I don't think it would be fair to list the differences here where anyone can see them, but suffice it to say that it was a learning experience. I think, and hope, that this is what is probably most commonly known as "moving on." I can see Tyler and not wish for anything more than a simple conversation. I no longer care what he does or with whom because it's his life, and if he doesn't want me to be a part of it, I can accept that. I think I deserve someone who will love me enough to never let me go. And at least I've gotten to the point where I don't regret allowing the relationship to happen anymore. My mom and I don't really get along, but I guess sometimes she knows what she is talking about. She just asked my plainly, "Why do you let yourself get close to him if you just end up hurt every time?" She's right. I need distance. I need to accept that things probably will not work out between us because it would require a lot of change on his part that he probably won't be willing to do anytime soon. So why waste my time hoping that things will work out with someone who is so different than I am, and who doesn't want "a relationship that could lead to marriage" but just prefers guaranteed short-term flings? I'm done. We're still friends, and I'm fine with that being all we'll be. I don't need anything else. I'm happy. :o) Now I just pray this feeling lasts. :o) Keep your fingers crossed but I'm pretty sure it will. Someone once told me that it took half the time you've been with someone to get over them. Looks like maybe that's right. Five months to a little over 9.5 months. Wow. Right on the dot. :o) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:24 pm	Field School Evaluation I thought I would take a minute to evaluate how the first week of field school has been going. Honestly, yesterday was horrible. It was quite strenuous digging the dirt out of the units. And then, after we had dumped all the dirt in a pile, we were told to move it like five feet over. If I wanted to spend time learning how to move dirt I could have stayed home and saved myself a thousand dollars. Also, I kept getting conflicting comments. April says make sure you write in your field book throughout the day. I take a minute to jot down a note, my supervisor walks by and tells me I need to be doing something other than writing in my book. My supervisor says don't excavate the backfill. April walks by and asks why we aren't excavating the backfill. *muffled scream* Consistency, people! Today was so much better though. I was really frustrated yesterday so today had to be better, but it was actually enjoyable. I've met potential friends, the hardest part of moving mass quantities of dirt is over, and I've come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have a farmers tan where my sock is. *sigh* And I feel great as long as I get to bed by 10pm. It takes like three minutes to get ready, so I get up at 7am when everyone else gets up around 6:15am. Suckers! Okay, just kidding. So anyways, I think summer will be bearable, but I am looking forward to June 26th when I get to play in the water all day during the hottest part of the summer. And no more required t-shirt. Hence, no funky tan line I have to fix at the beach every weekend. However, at approx. $800, this maritime field school had better be worth it. Bye! (Comment on this)

5:30 pm	not so lucky after all... Being sick sure sucks, especially when you have to run around and do a check-out every 15 minutes. Anyways, I couldn't sleep last night. I laid down around 10pm and didn't fall asleep until 5:30am. I managed to sleep until 7:30 but I had this crazy nightmare about lucky charms. I'm not even joking! It was scary. I'll leave you in the dark as for the details, though. :o) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:00 am	yay running Running at one in the morning is really quite fun, once you learn to ignore that nagging "I'm so gonna get raped" thought. However, running in the middle of the night after watching Nightmare on Elm Street probably wasn't the greatest idea. I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking. Well, yes I am. I was thinking I don't feel like sleeping so I'm gonna go do something productive. It just energized me, though, so now I'm never gonna get to sleep. Actually, I'm feeling pretty sick right now, so maybe I will go lay down.... Byebye. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:17 pm	book buy back The bookstore makes such a big deal about how they buy books back fairly, but this is so not true! They also try to keep college students from buying/selling books on websites such as half.com. Let's do a little price comparison, shall we? Historical Archaeology: Bought from the bookstore: $54 Buy back offer: $14 Going price online: $30-$40 Ficciones: Bought from the bookstore for: $10 Buy back offer: $1.50 Going price online: $5-$10 Plus there were a bunch of other books that had new additions or weren't being used, so they wouldn't even offer me a cent for those. I'll stick to buying and selling online from now on. (Comment on this)

6:00 pm	yay scuba diving!!!! Yay!! Underwater field school here I come! I am now an officially certified scuba diver! Woot! Actually, I don't really like it that much. The first few seconds of forcing yourself to breath while you are submerged underwater is quite frightening. I'm terrible at sticking with my dive buddy. And I tend to panic when there is anything less than perfect visibility. I don't like not being able to see where I'm going. How are you supposed to excavate a shipwreck you can't even see? I'm hoping that diving gets easier with time. There are a lot of specialty courses you can take and I would really like to try cave diving sometime. We got to go in a small cave about 40' down on our first training dive, which was awesome. And you know, it would probably be a good idea if during the first classroom session they didn't spend the while time discussing how many ways you can die or be injured while diving - how to tell if a shark is getting ready to attack, how if you ascend too quickly you'll pop like a balloon.... School's almost done!!! No final exams for me, but I do have a group project due next Thursday that my group has yet to begin :o) And I have a paper due tomorrow that I should go finish. Byebye.

11:46 pm	insomnia I have come to the conclusion that having insomnia really bites. You'd think after ten years I'd be used to it, but no. I've been trying to sleep for almost three hours (yes, I go to bed early, I know) and have yet to fall asleep. It's as frustrating now as when I realized early on that it was taking me longer and longer to fall asleep. *sigh* I'm off to try again. Byebye. (Comment on this)

2:51 pm	just 2 it I was just wondering - if the motto for safety of the school is "just 2 it" then why are southside RAs expected to do rounds alone? Granted, on weekends, we usually have two people on a round, but on weekdays, we're wandering around campus alone at 11:30pm. We were told we were getting radios last semester, and we still have nothing. I have issues with this. Thoughts, anyone? (Comment on this)

5:37 pm	long time no write.... It's almost spring break and I'm so thrilled! This semester has been rough, but it's way better now. Actually, I have so much free time now that I should really get a new hobby. My term B classes are over, which is such a relief. I still haven't gotten my grades, though. Maybe that's a good thing... Anyways, spring break!! Tyler and I are going to see Brian Regan perform on Saturday, then driving allllll niiiiight to West Palm, just so I can make it to my nerdy Renaissance Festival. I'm really looking forward to it :o) We're also going to see King Tutankhamen in Fort Lauderdale while we're there too. And then the long drive back on Friday so Tyler can page in by 5pm on Friday. Should be a great week. Happy four months to me and Tyler! Woot! :-D It's been the best four months of my life, without a doubt. So, how about those fall classes? Before graduating, I still have field school, five major classes, one minor class, an honors class (which I can do for any class if I choose "honors by contract") and then my honors thesis. However, every major class I have left is being offered in fall and not spring, which complicates things. My present solution to this situation is to graduate in fall instead of spring. I'll have field school and my minor class (online) this summer, which will be an overwhelming 12 credits and $2800. In fall, I'll take my five major classes (one of then honors by contract) and write my thesis. Insane, right? I'm not going to work so hopefully I'll have time to finish everything. I also want to take a fun class in fall like I always do. Maybe rock climbing or karate or something else not stressful. I'm really disappointed, though, because the school is actually offering German next semester but I'll already have 19 credits, so there's no way. Too bad. I really want to take it and they're finally offering it!!!! That's all for now. Ciao, tout le monde. (Comment on this)

1:13 pm	Hell.... ~I love this! It's a final exam question for a chemistry class. I wish UWF finals were like this.~ Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? You need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true. Thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze. (Comment on this)

11:03 am	le ballet Apparently all my ballet deficiencies can be summed up in one phrase - lack of confidence. I'm glad I've finally been diagnosed. I wonder if this can be applied to other aspects of life.... (Comment on this)
