Nervousness and Stress

As I was sitting in Engineering lecture today, I ran my hands through my hair, and like 5 strands fell out!!! It's so upsetting. I turned to the other girl on my team and just had this shocked look on my face as I was still holding the hair in my hand. I am so stressed that my hair is falling out. I mean, I always shed. It's normal, but never have I shed this much! I can't believe that I am already in my second round of tests. I had my second math test 2 weeks ago, but tonight I have my chemistry test. I'm really nervous about it. I feel the need to do well in that class because it is all stuff that I learned last year. The way my teacher gives us the information is not in the slightest bit interesting and completely confusing my thoughts from last year. So, to say the least, I'm pretty scared about this test tonight! Along with the test, I have to start on this wonderful research paper. I've never written a 10 page paper before. The longest has been 5 pages. College is something completely new to me. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it, and sometimes it's just crazy!

Continued Life

So my roommate and I are being civil. I think it's only because we both found other people to live with next semester! I went down to the lobby to get the forms to change roommates. The girl working the front desk told me that I was going to live on her floor. I probably gave her a really weird look, and she went on to say that one of the girls was graduating in December. This meant that her roommate needed someone. Annie and Lauren, RAs, told me to go introduce myself to the girl. She wasn't in her room so I just went to my room to work on homework. Like 20 minutes later, the girl comes up to my room and introduces herself. I told her what happened with my roommate, and she was disgusted, just like I had been. Her name is Laura, and she is an alumni of the same leadership conference as me. We are really excited, which is actually more than I can say for myself at the beginning of the year for the roommate I have now! Kind of odd, I'm more excited to live with someone I don't really know than someone I do. I guess experiences can change your mind some...

Life

Sometimes, you wish your friends would take sides until they choose the wrong one... I can't wait until next semester. There is so much drama in my life right now due to my roommate. I would rather dislike someone I didn't know before living with them than argue with and dislike someone that I've known for the last 15 years. I desperately wish that I could get a single room. With my classes right now, I don't need the stress of other people bringing drama. This weekend was so much fun. My roommate left for the weekend...and took the tv remote with her. Can we say immature? Friday night, I went out to dinner with a big group of people from my leadership conference. We are planning an event for this Saturday and needed to discuss it. I had a great time and was able to forget my problems. On Saturday, I went to the game with Torsten and Billy. Once again, loads of fun. After that, we went back to the dorms, watched tv for a little while and worked on our Postlab. Then, we went and tailgated with Mike's family. There was amazing food. It made me happy after thinking about dining hall food again. Last night, a big group of us went over to Farmhouse and watched a movie and tv for a little while. So overall, my almost stressless weekend was fabulous!

World Takeover

HERE ARE YOUR FOOTPRINT RESULTS:

CATEGORY GLOBAL ACRES
FOOD 4.2
MOBILITY 0.5
SHELTER 5.2
GOODS/SERVICES 4
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 14


IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 GLOBAL ACRES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXISTS 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL ACRES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.1 PLANETS.

Before taking this quiz, I honestly thought that I wasn't very wasteful of selfish. After seeing these results, I am kind of upset with myself. I understand that it means if everyone in the world lived like me then we'd need 3.1 planets, but what about the people who live like Donald Trump or celebrities? How many planets would we need then? I think it is awful that the developed countries take everything away from the underdeveloped ones. I can easily compare this to my roommate and I. In definition, I would be a caring developed country, and she would be the one that wants to take over the world. Right now, she has taken 3/4 of our room, this is comparable to what the developed countries are doing to the underdeveloped countries. Overall, ignoring my problems at the moment, I think it's completely unfair that developed countries are using more than their share. All of these countries should be the ones coming up with ways to save our environment instead of more ways to kill it. All we do is use more and more resources instead of coming up with ways of ruining everything around of us.

First Half of My Week

So far, my week hasn't been extremely stressful. It's been pretty nice actually. I got to see Mike for lunch on Sunday before I started homework. I finished my CHIPS homework early so I got to relax last night. I sat downstairs with the guys and made fun of the fact that they were still working on their cars. Even though they are obviously much better than my team's is, I was still happy I was done with it. When my dad came down last week, we went to Walgreens, and I got a Care Bears coloring book. While I was sitting downstairs last night, I colored a picture. It was Wish Bear swinging on a swing held up by a star. After I finish this post, I have to go back to homework. I need to finish my Lab Bonus and chemistry homework tonight. Then tomorrow night, I have to start working on my Post Lab. Stupid Engineering!

Last Post of the Week

Ok, so I've finally come to the realization that I need to do blogs throughout the week like I used to. Now, I just cram all of them into one night and hope I have enough interesting things in my life to fill the box. My mind goes blank after one of them, and I have to scrap for the rest. At least I do them I guess. They aren't difficult or anything, but they just take time. I don't like sharing too many things about my life, so blogs don't really fit into my personality! Since this is my last one for the week, I'm going to describe what the rest of my night looks like. With about 10 hours of sleep over 2 nights, I am hoping to be asleep by midnight. To do this, I have to finish this blog, make sure my essay is good to turn in, start my chemistry homework, review for my math test, and hopefully do the written out section of my engineering homework. Needless to say, I'm somewhat busy tonight. One thing I'm grateful for is the fact that my roommate's not here tonight, which allows me to focus much better! Since I have complained enough already, I will let whomever is reading this get back to something more interesting!!!

Excitement and Relaxation of Fall Break

Being one of the many people who stayed for the disappointing Ohio State game over fall break, I didn't get home until Sunday morning. Although disappointing, the game wasn't the only part of my night. After the game, I went out with Torsten, Billy, Carter, some people related to them, and Mike. We went to B-Dubs, which was awesome! After that, Mike drove some people out to 65 and made $80 while the guys and I walked back to Billy's car. We had to go to a parking garage for someone's stuff and saw a do not enter sign on the ground on the way out. What we did wasn't inappropriate........it was already on the ground? Haha, but anyways, after that, we went back to Owen and said our goodbyes. Sunday morning, Mike and I left for home at about 8:30 and somehow made it there by 9:40. I was sleeping, so I'm guessing he was speeding or there was no traffic. I already went through the best thing (house shopping) that happened over fall break last week, so I will spare you the boredom of going through it again! Something just as good as house shopping was what happened afterwards. I went home and took a 3 hour nap. Seeing as I never have time to take naps at school, this was wonderful. Another fun thing that I did was going shopping with my mom on Monday. We always have fun together and have become so much closer since school has started. I got some cute clothes and more stuff to organize my room. I would put a picture up of something, but my camera won't charge and makes me upset!!!
