There's this cute little church on the corner as I drive to work in the morning, and it always puts silly little quotes on its messageboard. Today's made me giggle:
"You think it's hot here?"
-God
In all honesty, I don't know why everyone's complaining about the heat. It's not that bad, especially for those in office jobs where there's air conditioning anyway. I'm inside or in my car from 8-6:30/7, so it's no big deal for me. I feel horrible for the poor construction workers or anyone doing hard labor outside though--ugh, the humidity is killer. It would get up to 85 on occasion back home, but there was never any humidity, and the beach was a 2 minute drive from my front door. I hate that I have to PLAN more than 10 minutes in advance to go to the beach here. How annoying.
I found out yesterday that I get paid for my little Chicago shindig this weekend. I get nearly $450 to frolick around the city, hang out with a bunch of college kids, eat free food and pay attention to some speakers. Oh darn.
Kevin (one of the other interns) bought my lunch yesterday, because he lost a bet with me over Cinnabon. He said they wouldn't reply to my email saying that their e-greetings didn't work. Lo and behold I had an email apologizing profusely yesterday morning--so I got free chinese food. Mmmm.

The winds were up to 40 miles an yesterday. No wonder I felt like i was being blown away! If I had an umbrella, you could call me Mary Poppins. Except i don't have a cool bag that holds a coat rack.
Ah, well, you can't have everything.
Classes went surprisingly well this morning. I had a "friend" (okay, the girl who sits next to me, i don't even know her name) to talk to on the way to communications, and we just made fun of the teacher and talked about sailing the whole way. In accounting discussion, we had a group problem set, and my partner and i got 100%. He was actually a really nice guy, though i don't know his name either. But yeah, the fact that i knew how to do the assigned problems reassured me x10000, since i'm so lost in lecture.
'nother stats quiz this afternoon. I'm feeling cocky after the last one, which is stupid, because they're just going to be getting harder, buuuuuut...i didn't study for this one at all, i shall rely on my intuition and innate sense of statistical analysis to pass. And also the fact that half the class has no clue what's going on and asks a lot of questions. I'll just pay attention to the pre-test review for once.
Valentine's dance tonight! Hooray hooray i'm going to take tons of pictures. I'll make an updated catalogue for you, binky. This time of boys in uniform. Hahaha.

This makes me sad. I love my uggs, they keep my feet warm. Boo to you moronic people who don't like them. Maybe it's just a california thing...
I found another cell phone today. Ironically, I found one at Cal too. This one was under my seat in accounting tonight. I think it's fate, for the following reasons.
a) I almost didn't go. It's 20 degrees outside, with winds of 15-20 mph. That's COLD.
b) I sat in the back. I never sit in the back, that class is so tedious i'd fall asleep.
c) I put my hat and mittens under my chair, when i've never in my life done that before. I always just throw it all on the seat next to me.
And *bam*, there was a phone. After playing games on it for most of class (I told you, it's BORING) i started receiving frantic messages to "call this number", so as soon as class was over, i did. The owner was out searching for it, but his roommate said he'd let him know i found it. So...mystery phone owner is coming over in 10 minutes.
I've done my good deed for the day. :)

I am really, really bad at taking criticism. I get super defensive, even if i asked for it. I turned in a rough draft of my architecture paper, and was pretty proud of it, but i asked for feedback. The TA e-mailed me back comments, telling me to change about half of it, and i withered. Bah. I don't know why i even care, i'm not a writer or an architecture major.
I saw someone in an FCSB jacket today, and did a double take. By the time i realized what it was, they had passed me though. Crazy what a small world it is.
I am a lazy bum, it's official.

I just had the weirdest conversation, with this girl from Georgia. She goes to school with my first grade crush (haha). Anyway, the three of us were arguing over the way women were treated in the south, and it made me cringe.
GoletaSB: i think that southern belief that the guys need to do everything is absolutely ridiculous
GATORGURL85: WHAT? nope you're done
GoletaSB: its stupid, admit it
GATORGURL85: that's how I've been raised child! One day my southern gentleman is going to come and sweep me off my feet and we are going to live happily ever after
GoletaSB: hahahahaha
SoccerBugg86: if it isn't fair anywhere else in the country, why should the south play by different rules?
SoccerBugg86: If the girls want the guys to pay for everything
SoccerBugg86: then the girls can't complain when the guy throws 'em an apron and says "bitch, make me a sandwich"
GATORGURL85: boo that
GATORGURL85: who is that? b/c she's about to get jumped by 2 southern gals
GATORGURL85: and I'd be happy to make my husband a sandwich you stupid bitch
GATORGURL85: and by the way a good southern man would never throw an apron at his wife and say bitch make me a sandwich
It went on, and on...her saying that we need to uphold this tradition simply for the sake of tradition. When we threw in the whole racism card, ooh, she went nuts. Finally she blocked us all saying we had gone too far, and it was morally offensive to her, saying that guys shouldn't be expected to open every single door and pick up every check, and that we need to just accept the south for what it is.
Sean and I cheered, saying the south was going to secceed from the union. (Once he gets out of GA, of course.)
I know that that's not NORMAL, to be like this crazy girl, and i don't hate the south, but it scares me to death that there are still people in this mindset. I feel so damn liberal, all of a sudden, and can realize how bush won.
PS I aced my stats quiz, 100%.

I don't know why I want this so badly, but I do. I've been online shopping all afternoon, not buying anything because i'm terrified of spending money, but oh man, I want it. I'm bored of my backpack, i've had it since junior high, and while i love it...it's time to retire it. Early birthday present anyone? (Holy moly, 6 weeks and i'll be 19...)
I went to the gym this afternoon (!!!) and fell off a treadmill.
No, seriously.
I was watching the girl a couple machines down to figure out the "i'm done" procedures (you're supposed to grab a towel and wipe town the machine) and i craned my head too far and slipped. The guys behind me laughed a lot. *siiiiiiigh* I told you, the rec cen is intimidating.
Then I couldn't figure out how to get out, because every exit had "emergency exit only" printed on the door. Finally i just hung out near the front desk until someone else left, and followed them. Turns out the turnstyles turn two ways (!!!) and the in was actually an out too. Go figure.
Mommy sent me a care package. <3 to my mommy. Now I just have to save a few of the cookies until next weekend, so my boy can have some too, because he loves them like so. We're going to go to the DC zoo on presidents weekend, because admittance is free, you only pay for parking, but seeing as how we're metro-ing it, that's not an issue. Hooray! Picnic lunch of peanut butter & jelly? Yes please, por favor.
I'm in a really good mood and I don't know why. I know if i analyze it, it will go away, so i'm just going to keep munching on cookies and pretending life is peachy. Maybe this is that legally blonde quote:
Exercise produces endorphines. Endorphines make you happy. Happy people just don't go and shoot their husbands.
RUF tonight, hooray! (PS I love Miss Sandy because she offered to pick me up from 'napolis, so she rocks my world x100000000)
