Weekend News

How is it already Sunday??  I swear the weekends get faster every week!

Mine started off well enough.  But then Saturday arrived.  I was nervous all day because I had to interview the owners of this new restraunt on campus for my paper for my magazine class.  My paper is due tomorrow.  I was not procrastinating, this was just the only time they were available to speak with me.  So, I go there and I tell the worker person that I was here to see the owners and she told me to sit down and when things slowed down she would get someone to talk to me.  So, i sat there and took notes on the restraun; the smell, the colors, the atmosphere.  I get done with that and still no one comes to talk to me.  I keep waiting. Finally, after half an hour, the manager comes over to me and tells me that the owners will not be available to speak with me.  Cue me having a heart attack.  My paper is due TOMORROW and I have NOTHING.  So I went back to my apartment and immediately e-mailed my professor.  I'm thinking o Lord please give me a chance!  It wasn't my fault!  Why did this happen!?!  I had plans to go see "No Strings Attached" with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman with my friends so I decided I might as well go to that because there was nothing I could do until my professor responded.  After the movie I immediately checked my e-mail and my professor had miraculously responded to me.  She gave me an extension on the paper.  Hallelujah!  So, now I have to keep bugging these people for an interview and get it done by Feb 9.  I hope my teacher doesn't hate me but really it wasn't my fault.

Anyways,

the movie was adorable!  I want to buy it.  I haven't said that about a movie in  a REALLY long time.  I want to see it again right now but movies are getting expensive.  Oh and did I mention I drowned my sorrows at the movie theater ordering a medium Pepsi and nachos.  Soo healthy.  How am I not 500 pounds?

So, that's my life.  Emotional roller coaster.  I thought I was going to be diligently working on my article today but instead I did laundry and cleaned my room.  I know I should be studying for my midterm on Thursday but I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to learn the reasons why companies expand internationally and the theories behind it.  So lame.

Golden Globes

Awards season is upon, folks!  I always tell myself I won't get sucked into the HOURS of E! news coverage they show before and after, but I just can't help myself! I love the fashion!  What are the trends?  Who's the hot designer?  Who has had the most plastic surgery since last year???

Here are the top trends I noticed while watching:

1)  GLITTER
Here we have the fabulous Carrie Underwood in Johnathon Arndt



2) Emerald
Miss Jolie and Mila Kunis



3) PiNk


I long for the day when I get dressed by these fabulous designers!!

What was your favorite dress on the red carpet?  I LOVED Carrie Underwoods!!

My New Obsession

I am OBSESSED with these little morsels of yummy.  Add a little butter and grape jelly and I am a happy woman.  As they are indeed "mini" I make 3 at a time and call it breakfast.  So good.  Try it, you won't be sorry!!!

Happy Monday!

I had a wonderful weekend!  Lots of shopping, though I didn't buy much, just did some Christmas returns!  I love having a 3 day weekend every weekend this quarter!  So spoiled.  I am trying to be productive though and do job searching as much as possible!

Apparently there is a big snow storm coming our way!  Woot!  I hope it terrible enough to cause a snow day as I just recently remembered I have a quiz tomorrow and would love to postpone it.  Don't worry though since my eureka moment I have been studying the material and it is simple so I should be good no matter what.  Phew!

I went to the grocery today and saw someone from high school that I haven't seen in years.  So awkward.  I hate seeing people I know when I am out and about.  I never know what to say.  I try to avoid this predicament as much as possible by staying inside as much as possible. ( Just kidding.)  But it is awkward, and I will avoid people just so I don't have to try to come up with small talk.  Like today I started rambling to him that I only wrote a few things on my list but ended up with a whole basket full.  Yea, I am sure he really cared.

I am trying to actually cook for myself more.  It's quite difficult cooking for one person, I think.  Especially since I don't like leftovers (unless it's mac and cheese which I sometimes prefer the leftovers over the fresh stuff).  Tonights dinner:  chicken breast, instant mashed potatoes, canned corn.  I know, really fancy.

Alright, that's enough rambling for now.  I suppose I should study some more.  I have senioritis SO bad.  Spring quarter is going to be a nightmare!

Let it Snow

I am currently sitting on my couch, in my Hello Kitty snuggie, sipping on hot chocolate, watching Oprah, searching for jobs, as the snow falls beautifully outside the window.  What a perfect end to my school week!
I do know that I need to enjoy these moments because the will be scarce from here on out!  That's why I am taking full advantage!

Can I just say that looking for a job is so depressing!  I feel so unqualified for EVERYTHING.  Sigh.

Anyways, did any of you watch The People's Choice Awards last night?  Well if you didn't, you didn't miss much.  Especially when the host, Queen Latifa, was on the screen.  Now I normally don't mind her, she's not my favorite but she doesn't bug me either.  But last night she drove me nuts!!!  I literally had to look away a few time as she tried to be funny.  Especially when she was talking to the stars of the Twilight series.  Oh, it was painful!  She was calling them by their character names!  I felt so bad for them because they had to pretend she was funny.  And she kept  going off script saying that it was the "people's choice" so she could do whatever she wants.
 Dear Queen Latifah,
Please stick to the script so we don't have to cringe while watching you.
Thanks,
The People

First Day Back

It seems like just yesterday I was packing up to go home for Winter Break!  School started again today.  I only had one class, so I shouldn't complain.

This quarter I am taking Magazine Writing.  I figured it would be taught by some grad student and I would find myself able to write about juicy celebrity gossip or about how the 70's are going to be in for Spring (no, I'm not kidding); but no my professor is a professional journalist who has been editor of magazines and newspapers.  To say I was intimidated would be the understatement of the year (and it just started!).  I felt especially foolish when she asked what kinds of magazines people were reading and people started sprouting out Newsweek and other newsy and political titles.  Hello?  Am I the only one who reads Us and People and Marie Claire.  I suddenly felt like all I had in my brain was a supreme knowledge of converse and pink polka-dots.  Not ideal.  But, as my professor continued talking she made me believe that I actually have a shot at being good at this.

For Wednesday I am supposed to come up with 3 topics for possible articles.  I am feeling extremely uninspired at the moment, but I know I will think of something!

By the way, I made my bed today.  I know, go me.

New Year's Resolutions

Yes, it is that time again.  Time to set goals that, lets be honest, many of us don't achieve because we can't even remember what they were in the first place!  Or is that just me?  This morning I was trying to think of what my resolutions for 2010 were and I had no idea.  So, this year I am writing them down so I don't forget.  And you all can bare witness!

1.  Make my bed everyday.
       I read the other day that just by making your bed it can make your whole room look better.  Since my room is tiny I thought that I should give it a try.  I have always had the attitude of 'Why make your bed when you are just going to sleep in it again?'  But I must say when I actually do make my bed, I enjoy the feeling, so I am really going to try to make this one happen.

2.  Organize my bills.
        For some reason I have problems with organization.  I believe the source of this is probably laziness, but that is such a harsh reasoning.   I even have an accordion folder separated by months to put my bills in, but alas it is full of things from '09 that I have yet to clear out.  Tisk, tisk.

3.  Stop swearing.
       Or at least cut it down a bit.  Throughout my years in college I have developed a bit of a potty mouth.   Not classy at all.  And I intend to be classy.

4. Figure out what I want to do with my life.
     This is a pretty tall order, but it needs to be done.  Eventually I want to be a mother and raise my children, but I of course need to get a job first and live my life.  Sigh.  

So that's it.  I am sure many of you have already achieved my resolutions in your life, but I, obviously, have not.  Good luck with all of your resolutions!  I intend to keep up with mine, for once!

Welcome!

Welcome to my first blog post!  I am sure you are all as excited as I am.  After years of reading other people's blogs, I finally decided to start one of my own!

Join me as I finish up my final quarters in college and embark on my journey to find a real "grown up" job.

This is going to be an exciting year and I am happy to be sharing it with all of you!
