Yeah, so it's been a long time since I last updated. But yes, today is very worthy of a rant. I've finally begun "real" university and it's pissing me off! I don't know if it's just my professors, or if it's the 5AM wakeups or if it's the three hours spent commuting each day, or the combination of the three, but I'm irritated as hell. This week I have three exams, two quizzes, I had a lab practical this morning, a lab report, four math assignments, and one chemistry assignment. WTH! This never happened at Harper! I understand that this is "real" college work, but it's insane. I know every student says this, but really, do the professors actually believe that we have no other class that requires work but their own? In retrospective, this isn't a lot of work, or even hard work, for that matter, but it is time consuming. I simply don't have enough time to complete everything, or even study.

Also, the Chem prof is a bitch, and the math disscusion TA is useless, and a condescending bitch.

Also, no matter how enticing that outdated DVD player may be, no I do not want to join the Army, and no I do not want a new bank account, or a new credit card and I don't want whatever flyer you are trying to hand me because I don't want to have to make the effort to find a garbage can so I can throw it away.

Is how much time I have left to study. I think I'm screwed. The chapter on Potential Energy is killing me and I have barely even studied the new material yet. How the hell did I find time to prepare last year?? I'm also very irritable, cranky, annoyed and an ecetera of bad emotions right now.

Eep! I still have a lot of studying left to do! At least I don't feel as awful as I did yesterday.

Anyways, in order to pass Physics class, I'm going to need to get a 51 percent on the final exam...Trust me; this is not as easy as it sounds. It's those damn conceptual questions that will be the end of me. If worst comes to worst, I'll have to come back to Harper this summer and beg the physics teacher to let me in her already full class. Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I have 3 containers of sugar-free pudding in my fridge so maybe things will turn out okay.

Edit: 1:32 PM

Um yeah, I've just realized that Harper College has a mighty fine surplus of crazy people and or creepy people. Most of me finds this disturbing, but the budding psychologist within also finds it fascinating. I have a feeling my instinctive method of asking "What the hell is wrong with you!” will not produce good results for a thorough psychological evaluation.

Off to class!

Oh God, why must my brain meats hurt so fiercely? Also, what's with the chronic neck, shoulder and back pain I've been experienceing lately? I'm almost finished with the semester, can we lay off on the pain for at least six more days?

Since Dragonball Evolution came out, I've been seeing this comment a lot. "OMG WHY IS GOKU A SKINNY WHITE BOY!"

Ugh, I hate it when I see things like this on the internet.

Seriously people, nowhere in the manga does it say that Saiya-Jins are from planet Japan. Goku is pale skinned; sometimes slightly tan, with black hair and black eyes. He can be played by any actor of any race, who shares those same features. There is really nothing about Goku that screams "I look Japanese!"

In most manga and anime, several of the characters do not look Japanese to begin with, even if they are supposed to be Japanese. Sailor Moon anyone? Apparently the creators don't care that their characters do not look Japanese, so should we really care if the actors who portray them don't look Japanese?

There are plenty of things wrong with Dragonball Evolution. Of all the complaints people have made about this movie, Goku not being Asian is the stupidest one. He is Saiya-Jin, who knows what a Saiya-Jin would look like if they were real.

Oh by the way, I enjoyed the movie. It had A LOT of problems, was marketed towards people under 10, but surprisingly entertaining enough. My husband and I went in with really low expectations and we came out feeling that it was better than we thought it would be. I think that fans shouldn't really take this movie too seriously and they might enjoy it. I do hope that someday a good Dragonball movie can be made, I really think that with enough money, a brilliant writer and director, it could be great.

I get really bored during school.

Life is pretty bland when you are a student

- Was woken up at 6:30 by husband who had to get ready for work.
- Fell asleep again and woke up again at 9:30.
- Exercised and showered.
- Watched an episode of Dragonball Z (Yay! I found a website that hosts all of them!)
- Studied for an hour and did online Physics assignment.
- Went to Target and purchased this just so I can give a demonstrative speech about how to make different espresso drinks on Tuesday.
- Went to Starbucks to buy coffee beans, vanilla syrup, mocha powder and shot glasses.
- Went to grocery store and was clawed and hissed at by a two year old. (Not kidding, it was freaky)
- Got home and thought it was only noon but finds out that it is actually 2:22 PM.
- Put away groceries, washed dishes, marinated chicken.
- It is now 4:00.

This is an average day in the life of me. Rejoice and kneel before its excellence. I have no idea why I just wasted 5 minutes typing this up, oh well. I AM SO BORED!

I have tons of unfinished artwork and projects lying around, but for some reason I felt compelled to go to Hobby Lobby to pick up material to start a new one.

First I went to look at their craft wood selection. I really want to make a bed for my still unamed Blythe, but even though they were having a sale on the wood and I found a lot of pieces I could use, I decided to skip it. I was going to need a lot of wood, a saw, wood glue, small nails and a way to clamp down the wood to saw it without having to have one of those huge saw...things. Anyways, it could be an expensive project and I still don't have the bed completely planned out yet and I mostly don't know what I'm doing, so I better not risk it. My dolly will just have to settle for the shoebox stuffed with felt that I gave her.

Of course I can't go to the store and the not purchase anything, I wasted precious petrol to get there, so I bought a felting needle and wool. Now my fingers are raw and bloody from trying to make a dumb bunny.

So what are all the fangirls fangirling over nowadays??? Twilight (obviously), Supernatural (sure) and what about in the Anime department. Is it still Naruto??? I’m seriously out of the geek loop and I’m trying to figure out what appeals to the masses and why.

Actually, no, what I’m really trying to figure out is a good way to waste time. I just finished my super hard Physics test on electricity and after being sick and studying for a week, I want soak myself in some non-cerebral TV or literature.

I could read the last Twilight book, but it is a frightening prospect. The third book proved to be the retarded stepchild of the first two and I’m afraid of what defects the fourth one will have.

I actually have a tummy ache so I may just go to bed.

Amazing Update: Read about 130 pages of Breaking Dawn….. Mostly horrible and I feel so sorry for Charlie. I’m curious to know if her parents ever figure out that she became a vampire. That would have to be interesting...I guess, the last time I checked Wikipedia didn't mention anything about it. I may have to Google it.

I don't have patience to read books to find out what happens. When Deathly Hallows came out the first thing I did was go to Wikipedia and read what happened. I'm a bad fan.

Hmm. It seems as though my Blythe is evil... She's too cute and it's keeping me from studying!!!!

I spent a large part of yesterday trying to sew her a tiny bunny out of felt, but it proved to be too difficult because the bunny pattern I made is too small and it comes out blocky when I turn it inside out.

Her dress is coming out nicely though. I'm going for a Gothic Loli style but she looks a little more like a French maid. I just have to finish sewing on the pockets and add velcro to the back and I'll be done.

My doll still needs a name but I can't even begin to think of one. Suggestions???

My dolly is here!!!!! I will be posting a picture of her soon but I'm going to wait until I finish her dress, which I would say is about 50 percent done. I'm trying to find a way to embellish it a little more so it doesn't look so plain.

She is also in desperate need of a name and I am blank.

Prepare yourself of teh stuffs!

1. Why isn't my Blythe here yet??? She was 14 minutes away last night, so I assumed when I came home today there would at least be a sign on the door or in my mailbox that said they tried to deliver a package but no one was available to sign. But noooo, nothing but stupid junk mail. I'm going to be gone even later tomorrow night because I have to spend time at the tutor, so I probably won't get her tomorrow either....;_;

I WANT HER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. The three greatest things/foods in the universe are pasta, cheese and ranch dressing. Luckily for me, Harper College is able to combine these magical elements into one elixir of yummy times. "Sonja", you may ask, "What about the vegetables? Where is the nutritional value in such a wondrous thing?" Worry not dear reader, for today in my salad I found a red bell pepper the size of my pinky nail, and my digestive tract is currently enjoying all .000034 percent of my daily needed fiber and Vitamin C.

Yeah, I should probably do something now. I'm gonna watch this!!!

Yay I got my Re-Ments yesterday! I bought the Fairytale Mugs and the Alice in Wonderland Tea Set. My Doll is still MIA.

2:33 PM

My doll is in Jamaica New York! Maybe I'll have her by Monday!

What the hell did I do to my back? I just got home a little while ago and I sat down, checked my daily stuffs, stood back up and AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Oh my poor trapezius. I think I need to change my sleeping position.

In other amazing news, I went to Mitsuwa today. They had Re-Ments! But not good ones. ;_; They had the Sushi series, which isn’t very cute so I only bought one of them. There was also these “Lucky Dip” Hello Kitty purses. They looked pretty small on the box so I was hoping that they would be small enough for my doll (which still isn’t here yet!), but alas they are too big. To complete my shopping spree I also bought the Re-Ment Café Table, so my doll has somewhere to sit when she gets here. I plan on going back to Mitsuwa at least once a week so I don’t miss out on any new Re-Ments. I was really hoping they would have the Flirty Pink collection.

3:22 PM

Well I just spent more money. I bought liquid Sculpey, Super Glue, 4 bottles of paint, a box for my sewing thread and 5 skeins of thread. NO MORE! I did “need” the stuff.

My Blythe still isn’t here yet. I ordered it on the 25th of January and now it’s the 3rd of February. I know it is coming from China, but still….I need it now! To live! I even bought some Re-Ment dishes for her and those haven’t arrived either. So to hold my over until my stuff gets here, my husband and I went to Toys R Us and Target to find it some Barbie clothes. FAIL! There was barely any selection and it was all really skanky. Why do all Barbie clothes still look like they are from the 80’s??? Seriously, there was nothing for Barbies, Bratz either for that matter. What do little girls play with then? I guess when I was little I didn’t play with Barbies either, I played with Littlest Pet Shop toys. Those have made a big comeback but the selection is still pretty small compared to when I was a kid.
To make up for not getting anything last week, I tried to go to Mitsuwa today after class to buy some more Re-Ments. FAIL again. I realized that my front left tire was too low so I’m going to have to put that trip on hold until tomorrow. Now off to take a much needed shower!

So I've been gone for a little while. Studying for finals, which won't be over until Thursday evening. Tomorrow at 8:40AM I take my Physics final, then Thursday at 5PM, I take my Bio final. Then on Thursday evening I'm not going to do anything but lay in bed. Then Friday I'm not going to do anything but lay in bed all morning watching TV, playing with my DS and knitting.

Then I'm going shopping for a new purse!

Squids are awesome. They just are. And in an effort to waste your time and mine, I present to you...

THE ELBOW SQUID!!!!!!!!



More on the awesomeness of this squid here.

Seriously, it looks like those aliens from Independence Day.

BTW, in case you were dying to know, I did not get that glorious snow day that I so very much need. I finally got my Illinois Driver's Liscense though ^_^!

Maybe I won't have lab tomorrow morning.....ahahahahahaha. I HATE PHYSICS LAB!

Red Velvet Pics on the way!

This was mostly a pointless entry.

I hate Harper College.

( Annoyed! )

I have 10 different kinds of cheese in my fridge.

Amish Colby-Jack
Colby
Pepper Jack
Cheddar
Chipotle Cheddar
Asiago
Fontina
Parmesan
Mozzarella
Feta

I also have two kinds of cream cheese, one tub of cottage cheese, and exactly one slice of Kraft processed cheese. This is all the Food Networks fault!


BOW BEFORE MY CHEESE!!!!!
