Grocery shopping

My g&p are in Hawaii this week so I'm left to purchase groceries on my own. I spent most of my time at work this week compiling recipes of things that I definitely want to cook and then I spent some time making out a grocery list because what else am I going to do? (Hint: C++, Drawing 1, Design 1, AmerLit) So I took my sweet time making the list according to the aisles at the grocery store. As many times as I've been to the grocery store, I have never made my lists out this way. It was like an epiphany though. I will never not sort my lists according to aisle ever again. It was the easiest trip to walmart. Also, I saw Jenner & Stavs while I was there so that was an added bonus. I went to Aldi's too & the lady at the checkout counter asked me why I looked so familiar. We couldn't figure out why. She said I probably just have one of those faces. Which I'm beginning to believe is absolutely true. Strangers like to talk to me. I don't know if it's because I rarely shy away from eye contact or if it's because I try to have a smile on my face instead of a stink eye 24/7. It probably is though. Maybe I should stop?

Blah; programming is hard. I really love those moments when you finally get the thing to work. Happened to this guy in class today & it was so hilariously adorable.




One thing that I really miss about having my Papaw here is that I have to kill my own bugs.

Second day of fall

I have this pain in my back on the right side & now I can't take in a deep breath because I have this catch in my right lung. So now I'm sitting here taking these weird shallow breaths. Not to be melodramatic, but am I about to drop dead?

Realized today that I'm kind of rude. I try to be a really sweet person because how can you be mean to people when life is so short, why make it worse, you know? Mostly I'm just really sarcastic & rude.

My aunt's letting me do the desserts for her annual Halloween party & I am so excited. I already have worms and eyeballs on the to-do list.


I wish I lived in my own apartment so I could steal this precious lil kitty cat from my parents.

Music throw down

Just a random collection of my favorite songs.
These are songs that I almost want to stay in the car & listen to, even if I'm parked and ready to get out.

    How can you resist a song that sings, "you're my sweetheart"? Awww.

    They have lovely British accents. This is one of their older songs, but still.

    This is actually playing on popular radio stations now! I'm so proud. Glee probably helped, but they are just so good, they would have done it on their own. I feel like Darren Criss's character on glee gets to sing all the cool "indie"(I don't know if this is actually an indie band) songs, which is super awesome & I applaud the song picker-outer on Glee.

   I like to imagine they are avid youtube vloggers and they're singing "take my keys, take my Flip, take it all."

    All of the emotions. Makes me want to get drunk & fight somebody. In a good way, of course.

Love Sameer. He's a sexy beast. The rest of Young the Giant are pretty sweet, too. Is it wrong for me to love when bands do unexpected covers? If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.


    Somebody's very clumsy...


& saving the best for last...

   2 Walk the Moon songs! (: I genuinely love every song off their self-titled album. These two are just the ones that I know all the words to. Most of the songs are upbeat and easily danced to, with the exception being Iscariot, which I guess you could still dance to, but probably in a different way than the others. I know they'll be stupid famous, like Justin Bieber famous. Just you wait. Anyway, I can't wait to see them in November!

Turns out

My partner in CS is really really nice. Kind of a sweetheart, actually. It happened to be the guy that I already sit next to in class. Maybe the partnership won't be so bad after all.


Things that Dr. G says a lot:
- "If you don't like [...], we can't be friends"
- "What else?" (This reminds me a lot of Keith because she does the same thing)
- "Crap" & "stuff"
- "[...] is a different kind of beast"

well

unfortuately, my laptop's charging mechanism has committed suicide and thereby makes my laptop unuseable so this blog is being painstakingly written via tabby. please note the lack of capitalization.
i've been in class for three weeks now and i've only skipped once so i'd say this semester is off to a right good start. i've been dealt a surprisingly good hand this time around. my art professors fit so perfectly in the quirky art teacher stereotype, it's hilarious. i like them a lot. definitely tenfold better than the art class i almost took in highschool. there's a really cute guy in my drawing class. he did this funny thing in class the other day. we were supposed to bring in a shoe with laces so we could draw it. most people brought an extra shoe with them(like myself), while he just took the shoe that he was wearing off. i don't know why that struck me as amusing, but it did. 
there's a girl in that same drawing class who has asked me twice now if i thought the professor would mind if we went to the restroom. both times i said that i didn't think so & she still proceeded to ask him if she could go to the bathroom. like, whaaat?
my design class is full of some characters. i do sit by some pretty cool people though. the girl that i sit by is so awesome. i hope that i never have to do a group project with her so she won't start hating me. group projects are the worst. 
which brings me to dr. g's class. he's assigning us partners on monday & i'm super not looking forward to it. i get a weird vibe from some of the people in there. i mean, i know it's obvious that i'm his favorite, but... hahahahaha okay only joking. i really am nervous about group projects though. for one thing, the survey he's using to partner us asked for gpa & the grade of our last cs class. what if it pairs all the dumb kids together or if it pairs a dumb kid with a smart kid. i'm definitely a dumb kid in this equation, but i think whoever i'm paired with will think i have the upperhand since i hand dr. g's class before, when, in reality, that is totally not the case. it's all very daunting. there's this guy in class who asks a ton of questions that probably irk dr. g, but i love that he asks so many. right now, i actually get what dr. g is teaching(at least i think i do), but i know there is going to come a time when i'll be super lost & hopefully question guy will still be there asking questions. dr. g is still super good looking, by the way. hard to believe he's 35. most days after class, i usually am like "hey listen to this funny thing dr. g said today" to my jefe & she is usually not amused. she still hates his guts. she is a pro at holding grudges. (since this is the internet & there's always a chance she'll read this , P... don't be offended by my silly ramblings, i've grown to love you dearly & i respect your oddities, being like the cool kids is overrated)
on to english. or american lit, i should say. my professor in there is such a sweetheart. he continues to be excited about the puritans even though a third of the class are on their laptops, scrolling through pinterest. another third are doing that texting under the desk thing like we used to do in highschool. lame. i don't want to be the only one to laugh at his lit related jokes, but i usually am. 

not much else going on, really.
