Summer, Swine, and Survivor

I want it to be summer! Well, actually, I want it to be summer from back when I was in high school because then I wouldn't have to worry about any online classes during the break. I don't mind working, but I want a break! I'm tired of thinking and I want to get out and do stuff.

I saw a guy walking around with a mask on yesterday to protect himself from Swine Flu and that was before the Oregon case of it was even announced, so who knows what people are going to do now. How do you eat with one of those masks on, anyways? Do you take a bite and then put it back on and then take another bite and so on? That seems like it would get old really quickly. Or what if you have to sneeze... that's gross.

Off to watch Survivor soon. That guy they call "coach" drives me crazy. He is so full of himself and I am getting really tired of hearing him use the phrase "cut the head off of the dragon" and the word "warrior" when describing himself. He says that he is a soccer coach, has gone on trips by himself in the Amazon (and was dropped off there by a military helicopter and then got captured by natives that beat him until he escaped), and that he conducts classical music in his spare time. Needless to say, I have a hard time believing some of this stuff. Not only that, but I am so embarrassed for him when he claims those things, that I think it bothers me that he is not embarrassed himself.

Swine Flu

Can someone explain to me what the deal with Swine Flu is? I get that it is spreading and that people have died, but what I don't get is why this flu is different than a normal flu? Why is this one scarier? I don't understand.

Crazy Girls

Why is it that I just barely make it out of the house in the morning with clothes on and my hair attempting to look like it hasn't just been blown around in a twister, and some other girls have their hair all done looking like they are heading off to prom? Is this just me? I pretty much pat myself on the back when I am able to put an outifit together that looks like the pieces were actually supposed to be worn with each other, then I see these girls looking like they are off the some red carpet somewhere. What's the deal? It's school, not even high school, but a community college and you look like you've spent three hours on your hair, not to mention the 15 minutes you spent in the bathroom messing with ONE CURL. Really?

Here's my other beef... tanning. Alright, I get it, a nice healthy glow makes everyone look good, but come on, who are you fooling? There is a girl in one of my classes that I swear must have a tanning machine in her car that tans her while she is driving. Firstly, tanning is BAD for your skin, so stick with other methods of looking tan such as lotions and sprays. Secondly, a little goes a long way. You do not need to look like you have been stranded on a desert island with nothing but some little baby goggles and a tiny bikini bottom to shade you from the sun. It's extremely obvious. Now, i'm not trying to judge here. People can do what they want. I guess I just don't get it.

So Much For Writing Every Day...

I guess I have already failed at my attempt to write every day. I'll keep working on it.

I just went grocery shopping and I have a question: What is the deal with everything costing so much money? I mean, I did pretty good considering everything I bought, but I still feel like companies are just trying to make me go broke. The one thing I did like? The carrots I bought for my casserole came out to something like 14 cents. That's what I like to see! Keep it up groceries!

I've decided that i'm going to make my summer exciting this year. I'm tired of just doing everything like always- school, work, blah blah blah. Of course, I'll still do those things, but I want some excitement. I want to try new things! Once again this reminds me of how everything costs money, but oh well, i'll find a way!

Cheers to new adventures!

Writing Every Day

I have decided that I need to write on here everyday in order to help my writing skills improve. Apparently this is something you are supposed to do and considering how big of a talker I am, maybe this blog will save some of my friends and family from having to politely sit through my constant talking, which, for some reason, I think everyone is interested in. I feel bad for them, so i'll throw them a bone. :)

I'm watching one of the best shows ever made- The West Wing. I remember hearing about this show when it was actually on, but considering I was only 11 when it started in 1999, I couldn't possibly have seen the greatness that is this show. I love it!

You know what is truly wonderful? PIZZA! I LOVE pizza. I want pizza right now, but there are three reasons why I cannot or should not have pizza right now:

1) I don't think pizza places are still open right now.
2) I shouldn't spend the money on pizza. Got to watch my spending so that I can actually pay rent.
3) Word on the street is that pizza is full of things that aren't good for you... that sucks.

I needed to write out all three of these reasons so that I could try to convince myself to stop thinking about how good a slice of cheese pizza and an ice cold juice squeeze would be right now. YUM.
