CHUCK!!!!!

For any of you who are obsessed with CHUCK like I am you're going to be ecstatic around 8 o'clock tonight!!! The Premiere of the 2nd season of Chuck is tonight! Just for those who haven't seen it before I'll give you a rundown.

Some nerd named Chuck (who works at the Nerd Herd at the Buy More!) He has everyday issues that any geek would have: Boss is annoying, competition between fellow workers, a best friend Morgan who no one knows where he comes from, girlfriend issues, oh and did I mention he happens to be working undercover with other government undercover-agents. But the problem is that he got into the spy business by mistake. His X-best friend hacked the worlds most important computer that contains top secret pictures that reveal top secret info. His friend just happened to send all the pictures to Chuck where he gathered the pictures and now their stuck in his head. So as the so-called "Intersect" he must help 2 awesome undercover agents in saving the world. But being Chuck it can get a little tricky...

So if you're really bored tonight, or I guess in the next 2 hours... Watch CHUCK! you won't be dissappointed!

Escape (es-Caugh-pay)

"hey thats funny, its spelled just the same as excape..." Name that movie! Ok so I feel like sharing my life as much as possible. don't ask my why but I think its bc I'm bored. So... School. Its like the Fish bowl of life, you can either look at it as the glass half full or half empty. Either way its the same. Anywho... School is metaphorically a place to learn but what really happens during college hours? is there any learning involved? Today my teacher in English decided to have us write on how an individual essay is different from a group essay. I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything in that class today. Then I had Chem. Well my teacher has her 10 minutes of fun before a new chapter is explained so today while our 10 minutes of fun was being talked about, I couldn't hear 1 single word because a few non-charismatic students sat to my right with their mouths Wide open carrying on about the Very Exciting ways of life and how they just wrote an essay to some person for some thing on some day this week and some dude was going to give them some prize for being some kind of cool and doing it. I must say my ten minutes of fun were erased and made into ten minutes of the most drolling talk I've ever heard! oh my word! It's like the girls version of gossip! He said this and then I said "NO-WAY!" and he said "uh huh" and then I was all "cool" and then we played footsie for an hour during a soccer scrimage! because we were passing the ball! totally cool right? Oh dear. It was a sad day, I don't think I've lost so many brain cells in one hour before. Then again if I had had a balloon filled with helium during that class that would be another whole issue entirely. :) So overall today was an Un-learning day where I wish I could swish a fishy tail and es-caugh-pay as Dori would say. Anyhow I'll try to keep you informed on my menial everyday instances at school... or home... or abroad... or anywhere I guess! But you get the picture. Later!

What did you say?

My Life!

I'm so completely Blissful! Can life get better? I submit that it cannot! :) Fitting in with school surroundings (finally), getting better at college, supporting my government by voting, doing homework, working, gaining new friendships, cutting my hair, having fun with good friends, Life is sure good all around! I wish everyone could be as happy as me! :) ok my optimisms caving in. Haha anywho... keep that smile on your face! You never know who's day you'll change for the better!

High Flying McCain!

When McCain told America that the candidate for Vice was a female, the world took a deep breath! A female in the presidential office of either vice or pres. was forgotten when Clinton was struck down in the primaries. Now there is another chance to have a female lead this nation. (Even though as McCain would say he's "already been through torture") America is still trying to figure out if McCain's seemingly well-thought out decision will be beneficial to him or just hurt him more. It was a pretty gutsy move on his part, but if America was mostly ready to accept Clinton as Pres. what's so different now? Governer Palin of Alaska definitely has the spirit for office. She seems eager to be running with McCain and helping our government as much as she can! It was hard for America to learn right after McCain announced his choice that Palin's 17 year old daughter was actually pregnant. Many started stressing that Palin needed stay at home time for her daughter. Who will end up on top? McCain with his female side-kick or an African American Obama who hypnotizes people with his smooth talk and apparent good looks? I guess we'l find out soon! So DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!

Killing the Toro Spirit and Moving On

yes. It's really a sad comment but very true. The Toro inside me has died, i'm now a Devil (officially. Yes you can rub it in my face now Trevor) It's kinda depressing... But on the plus side! I get to sleep in late, do fun stuff for longer periods of the day, classes aren't that difficult, I've been reading like crazy moving from one book to the next, I have 2 days to do homework now, I'm loving Chemistry (which is a shocker) and Engineering class is AMAZING! we made rockets today! And my group was able to get the most height from our rocket! 130 ft into the air! It was absolutely Awesome! I'm so excited for that class! we're just working on rockets and measurements for the next few weeks! Heck Yes! I suppose I'm not exactly "killing" the Toro spirit within but realizing the fact I must move on now. I will be able to keep it with me and show pride for my school but unfortunately from a distance. But we must always smile as we move through life and take what we learn and apply it! So for all you High Schoolers... College Rocks! To all the College people... Keep me updated and it will Rock even more! haha I miss everyone and love you all! stay in touch! But as for now, I'll continue writing about my life so that it seems like we're all here again! haha Later!

(ok ok so the rocket above isn't actually the one I built, But mine was Definitely Cooler!)

Stalkers...

This is dedicated to a really good friend of mine. :)

Today was a strange day. It started out like any normal day... sorta. I slept in till about 930 waiting for something to encourage me out of bed, but nothing did so I sat there for another 30 minutes just pondering. Well I had only one class to attend today bc my chemistry class was canceled. But unfortunately I just didn't feel like attending my english class when my teacher pauses between every sentence for about 5 minutes and because whats the point of driving for 30 minutes to a 50 minute class to just drive home again? It was really ridiculous and I was about to just ditch altogether when the words ran through my head... "Don't ditch. Ditching is BAD!" So of course I felt compelled to go anyway.

I headed to school feeling like it was going to be a bad day. I got to the parking lot and found the perfect parking spot! (which never happens) but I still knew it would be a bad day. So i went on sulking and ran into my cousin. She had a big smile on her face and I rarely ever see her, but I just Knew it was going to be a bad day so I stayed dismal. Then I walked into my dratted class and sat down next to people who actually talked to me. What a shame today was a bad day. Now I can't enjoy it. Well my teacher went on his empty discussion and I knew the answers to all his minimal questions... bad day. So he told us to all write a letter to our friends. A fun activity and easily diverting but today was Destined to be a bad day! So I continued my bad mood as I walked out of the class 2 minutes early and headed to my car. AHA! It was a bad day.I generally checked my car three times to make sure I never left my keys. But today because it was destined to be bad I had forgot to check and sure enough I had left my keys in the car and locked the doors too. Oh man! so much for a fun day. My mom had to drive out to ASU to give me the back up keys, so I had to wait for a half an hour in the Institute building. ugh. Well thats when i spotted it. 4 Boys all sitting at different tables and they were staring! Scary! So I sat down at a table hoping not to be noticed... um too late. A few guys walked past giving me "the look" apparently of approval. I quickly tried to text friends and make my face look as uninterested as I could. Well half an hour passed and no sign of my mom. The Institute started locking up so we were told to go outside. I moved to the outside bench fast putting my stuff around me so that no one could sit right next to me. For a few minutes no one showed up, then The guy came out. He was about 21 and a half and a bit shy. He sat on the bench next to mine and started asking me questions about what I was doing. What is this guy thinking? can't he tell I'm trying to seclude myself? I just want peace and quiet! I don't like boys! AAGH! Run away! But it was too late. He was already smiling his big toothy smile and said "Hey I gotta go now kiddo! It was awesome talking to you! Hope to see you again soon! Bye." I don't want to see him again. I just wanna see my mom. I looked around frantically. There she was 25 feet away. I dashed toward her and jumped up to her window. "Hi mom! got the key? Hey thanks!" Finally safe at last! So much for my not so good... very bad day. I left and headed home.

Starting College at ASU

College is NOT the same as High School. (Just in case anyone was wondering.) I've been through my first week at college and am officially a SunDevil! how inticing! :) But one thing I've learned is that no matter how hard you try the teachers just won't act the way you want them to. Some give you all the information you need and expect you to know it by the final, others make you work for it and see if you can answer your own questions without questioning yourself! But those few teachers who I promise do NOT know what they're talking about... you gotta live with it and it reeks! Fortunately I only have one of those teachers. But unfortunately its my Math teacher. my favorite subject destroyed right in front of my eyes and nothing I can really do about it.

Word to the wise...

1) Check out RateMyProffesors.com! It saves you from creepy teachers.

2) DO NOT Procrastinate anything. You Delay... you lose! End of the line.

3) get smart! Don't buy your books until you've actually been to class. Let them tell you what books to get.
4) Get as many credits from AP classes as possible! It really does help.

5) When signing up for classes its nice having a person who's already been through the process to help! So be kind to all your friendswho are a year older than you!

Thats about all I can say now. But if I ever have any more advice I'll be sure to keep you all updated! :)

Rocking Out California!

Well recently I just got back from California! I have been hanging with 4 other really Crazy girls! all of which made the trip a blast! haha they were awesome! we spent lots of time at the beach letting the rays of sun come down and burn us... we were kinda red after the first day at Coronado beach! oh ya i forgot to mention we stayed on Coronado Island in a little resort off the beach right outside of San Diego! it was soooooo cool! we had fun playing in the sun, boogy-boarding (I know, I know I messed up with spelling) and making sand castles (more like tree castles), shopping (like many teenager girls do) and riding tandom bikes (mine and Amy's kept breaking down over and over). It was super fun! its actually almost sad being back... bc that means school starts up now. Well at least we had our fun moments! I loved it and will miss the 3 girls who are off to Idaho but hopefully we'll be able to play again soon!

Sleeping Beauties~ it wasn't that comfortable...

yep.... its our tree castle~ so much fun!

<---- Us at the beach! going nuts as always!

Nannying for a Week!

Well, first all I have to say is that being a parent is REALLY tiring! I had my fair share of being a mom last week and though only a small glimpse of the future I want to spend as much time as a kid as I can! I love kids I have a few younger sisters and I love them! I'm excited to be a parent but I'm putting it on hold for the time being. :) My Aunt lives in Virginia and has 3 kids. Jack - 7, Sydney - 5, and Ella - 2. All adorable children! I loved being able to play with them, but along with play came designated responsibilities. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, keeping children entertained for as long as possible, setting up playdates, of course waking up at dawn and going to bed later so I can have some me time. I was fortunate to have my aunt with me as she was recovering from a surgery, but she couldn't lift anything heavy and I was their for not only kids but support and Cleaning! :) which actually was a fun part of the day! I was shocked at how just cleaning little things made my day better. Well I'm home now and I miss Virginia's cool weather, my relatives and their outstanding kids! Thanks for the experience!
