This is how pathetic I am: this actually made me cry.

Let's Pretend We're in Antarctica

My room mate and I had been sitting in our room for the past few hours wondering why it felt like we were in Antarctica.  As we crawled on the floor trying to see if there was a switch on the radiator to turn it on, I happened to look up.  It turns out that our window opens on the top and the bottom, and it had been opened on the top for who knows how long.  We had never noticed because our blind doesn't even go up half way and it obscured the top of the window.  The window was also stuck and we had to climb onto our desks to push it up.  We finally got it shut and now it only feels like Alaska.  Oh man, I love dorm rooms.

I am a stupid freshman, and I got fooled

I cant wait until the Philies win the world series and all of my classes are canceled for the parade..HECK YES!

So I am learning that I really like to edit, that is what I am leaning towards as a career. I hate lighting, and camera operating is ok, but right now we are just using a pretty simple camera, so I wont know if I really like it until I take "camera operation."

So I have the saddest freshmen story. A senior production team sent out e-mails asking for production assistants, so I was wicked pumped for this. I show up at 5 with my roommate, we load their vehicles and they say "Ok, we are going to drive all of this stuff there, and then we will be back for you guys." So we wait...and wait....and wait, they call at 8:00pm, freaking 8:00pm, they made us wait for tree hours for them to say "We don't need PA's anymore." OUCH! They totally just called us in to load their cars and for them to ditch us. An upperclassmen warned me about this production team, I need to start listening to advice more.

Don't fall for those dorky film guys schemes!
Have a fabulous night

Let's snort some cough syrup.

Since drinking coffee in college makes you really hip, and I hate coffee, I've taken to putting Coke Zero in a to go cup and carrying it around.  It makes me look fly and I get to steal soda from the dining commons.  

Rain storms are seriously the best best best things in the world.  As long as the rain isn't cold rain.  Last night we spent two hours running around in the rain and jumping into puddles.  It was so much fun.  We composed great poems about our love of rain.  The only problem is that my converse and my purse are still soaking wet.

I can't edit blogs, but I sure can edit films

I love walking around campus and seeing all the artsy kids with their design bags, cameras, tri-pods, and musical instruments. However I do not enjoy carrying all of that crap myself.

My schedule is so sick next quarter
1)English 102
2)Scripting
3)Editing
4)Physics 2 (I found a loophole and I can do weather instead)
5)U 101
6) European Cinema

I just learned that the same kids I have all my classes with right now will be in my classes for all four years! They broke the film kids up into cycles alphabetically. The Bagel will be with me for all four years...Shoot me now please.

I am now 19!! Karl came up to celebrate and we went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art one day, so awesome. However there are so many Renaissance paintings I can look at.

Have a fabulous day!

Battle Royale

There is a huge Humans vs. Zombies game happening on my campus right now.  I almost got taken down by a zombie trying to escape the army of humans.  It was scary.  I think I'll be staying in my room tonight...

I'm an Indian

I went to shows on Saturday and Sunday and the bands were super, super nice and awesome and their music is so good!  So you should all check them out.  Right now.





The Narrative is especially sweet because they put us on the guest list for Sunday's show!  So give them some love!

This is How You Get By

There are two girls on the first floor of my dorm who have a sign reading "You look fabulous today!" in their window everyday.  It's homemade and it makes me smile.  

This morning my alarm didn't go off so I had to get ready for class in fifteen minutes.  I looked messy.  As I was walking back to my dorm after class, I looked over at the windows and noticed a difference.  Today, the girls' sign read "Your appearance is questionable."  It made me die in a good way.

I miss period 2 English class

I love college for two reasons
1) All of the the free shit I get here
2) All of the C-list celebrities that come to our campus telling us to vote.

My English is so boring I hate it. It is painfully easy, every single English course was more interesting than this college course. We had an essay on Fredrick Douglass....SERIOUSLY?! Nobody ever says anything intelligent, but whatever since all of these kids are dumb it helps my grade. My professor told us she rarely ever gives check ++ (yes we still use the check system) but I got one on my second essay boooyah. However my professor was not amused with my essay on a peanut-butter and banana sandwich.

My film classes are really good too. My professor said my fist project was really good, and a lot of people turned AWFUL projects (these of course were the people that claim they have lots of experience, so they feel as if they d
on't need to pay attention).

Have a fabulous day
(I am off to get more free shit)

Buttered Croissant Baby

I'm coming home next weekend and I have a show to go to every single night!  I'm so excited!  Northampton is full of venues but I don't know any bands that play here, so they do me no good.

I have to write a response to an essay for my English class tomorrow.  Although this essay is one kajillion times easier to read and comprehend than the one's Cranky made us read, I still don't want to do it.  I'm contemplating skipping, but I would feel like such a loser if I did.  The essay is about killing and torturing wolves and it's so graphic that I almost threw up.  Here's a little taste:
"On a Saturday afternoon in Texas a few years ago, three men on horseback rode down a female red wolf and threw a lasso over her neck.  When she griped the rope with her teeth to keep the noose from closing, they dragged her around the prairie until they'd broken her teeth out.  Then while two of them stretched the animal between their horses with ropes, the third man beat her to death with a pair of fence pliers.  The wolf was taken around to a few bars in a pickup and finally thrown in a roadside ditch."
   -- "The Clamor of Justification,"  Barry Lopez
So. Fucking. Disgusting.  And we have to cite using MLA.  Ewww.

I'm currently obsessed with using stickam.  It's so creepy, but I love it.
