Mardi Gras is the bomb.com

I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this past weekend and it was so much fun. I know I've said this a lot but I feel like I have been missing out my entire life. The parades are soooo much fun and I love catching beads. Only as most of y'all know I can't hardly do anything with out getting hurt. What happened was I Would catch them in front of my face and they would swing around and hit my face, specifically my nose. Now I have a bump on my nose and it kinda feels like I broke it or bruised it or something. I have the broken feeling I get whenever I break my nose. Is it sad that I have a broken feeling? I get hurt so often. lol.

Today was associated student body elections at Ole Miss. I voted and everything but I'm gunna take take this moment to bitch. Every candidate has people standing outside in popular places around campus, like the Union, and this morning I was talking to my mom on the phone and walking through the area where a lot of people were set up and some ass hole yelled, "I would pretend to talk on the phone too!!!!" I guess they thought I was on the phone to avoid them but that was not the case. Maybe mom loves me more than their moms do or maybe my mom is more overprotective than theirs (which is more likely). Even if I was avoiding them, yelling at me would not be the way to get me to vote for their person. It's just as vicious during the fall for homecoming queen and king votes.

This semester my hard class is going to be accounting, so everyone better keep their fingers crossed for me. I got an 81 on my first test which is pretty good but leaves a lot of room for improvement so if anyone has some accounting tips or is good at accounting let me know! I need good grade this semester in order to convince my parents that I should be a camp counselor this summer.

Today a guy came into my music class to play violin and electric violin. That part was kinda cool but his outfit was funny. He was wearing all black: super tight pants and shirt. Let me emphasize super tight pants. Again really tight pants. It was so funny. I laughed a lot.

OK I'm done.

I Just Realized Almost Every Title has a !

So lately I have been noticing that I hurt myself without even realizing it. Like last night I was taking my shower and I was like, "Oh crap, my leg hurts." I look down at my leg only to see it's all scraped up. From what? I don't know. Today, I saw blood on my paper as I was taking notes in class, which is gross, only to look at my thumb bleeding.

Today I was wearing my Texas outfit. Cowboy boots, and the Tyler's shirt Alli sent me. I really cheered me up and it was really my only choice cause I need to laundry desperately. That damn basement is so scary and I hate it. Oh, well at least the laundry room will be a quiet place to study.

Oh today I came into biology right before class started so I sat by the door. Then I noticed people kinda staring at me. At first I thought everyone was jealous of my Texas outfit. Then, I realized I was kinda sitting in the black section of class. Like all of the black kids sit together on one side and all of the white kids sit together. After I realized the source of the stares I was getting, all I could think was, "Come on, this is the 21st century!" Like seriously it was bad. These kids could sit anywhere they wanted and they segregated themselves! It was the dumbest thing I ever saw. I really hope I"m wrong but I don't think I am.

Also, the teacher was wearing the Birkenstock/knee high combo again. She really needs a friend that's willing to tell her to stop.

Also I made a list of sucky things I have to do before my trip to Mardi Gras:
a) study for accounting test
b) go to accounting lab for tutoring
c) take accounting test
d) write a commemorative speech about Elvis Presley
e) present speech about Elvis
f) write song analysis for music

Doesn't all that shit suck? I think it does.

Off to more homework!

I Wanna!

I'm naming this post after the All American Rejects song that came up on Pandora today. Have I mentioned I love Pandora.com lately? No? Well I love listening to Pandora. Today was the Superbowl and I was kinda torn. Peyton was from Ole Miss, But I knew if the saints won my trip to Mardi Gras would be more fun.

Ewwww I just made some low-fat hot chocolate my mom made me take back to school. It was seriously nasty. It literally tasted like vegetables.

Today, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some breakfast sandwiches and the first box I picked up expired January 14th. Grody.

Tomorrow is Monday so I'm gunna have to cut this one short!

Bye Now!

Today's Saturday!

Today is Saturday but the sad part is it's closer to being over rather than just beginning. I'm so not going out this weekend cause I'm going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! I don't want to get any trouble a jeopardize my kick ass party time. Instead I'm doing all of my homework and trying to get ahead in my classes. I'm so excited to see my friend Rachel!

I added a new poll! What's your favorite snack? I put some of my favorites up so I can decide which one is the best ever.

The super bowl is tomorrow! I really like watching football but I have like zero attention span so I hardly ever see an entire game if I'm not at the stadium. But I try.

I"m gunna try to read Brick Lane tonight but it always puts me to sleep. I have to write paper about it tomorrow cause it's due Monday. I'm almost done with the book.

Speaking of books, I saw the movie Dear John yesterday. It was soo good but I cried almost the entire time. I would sob pull it together and then something sad would happen and I would sob some more. I HATE crying at movies but sometime the tears just roll down my face and I can't help myself. And then I kick myself for looking like such a idiot. I had soo much fun with my sorority sisters yesterday. Even if I did look dumb at the movies.

I'm gunna go chill now! My poll is at the bottom, so answer it!

Gimme a Break!

Right now I'm feeling pretty good right now. I'm sitting at my desk, having a little beef jerky, watching teen mom and typing this.

OK, so today I walk into my biology class at 8:00am and my teacher was wearing a short skirt, knee highs and Birkenstock sandals. Usually I'll notice what other people are wearing, but not really care about other people's choices. But come on! It was 8am and I was soooo not ready for that. Also, In the morning, the biology building smells like an odd mix of formaldehyde, fish tank and coffee. It was icky and not pleasant.

Update! My aer is healing nicely so far. I can sleep on that side again. I still feel like a bad ass.

I finally got a kite for my door!On bid day you get a poster from your new sorority for your dorm room door and they forgot me! The other day I said I was sad I didn't get a kite and they hooked me up, so now I'm all official.

Tomorrow is only Wednesday and that kinda sucks and I still have to read this book for English called Brick Lane. It's not my favorite book.

Post Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday! It was so much fun! I gotta admit I was a rebel. I wasn't gunna tell you guys but I'm no good at keeping secrets, so I already broke down and told my mom. Now I can tell y'all! I got my cartilage pierced! It kinda hurt, a lot. If I touch it too much it starts to bleed a little bit, which is kinda gross but it looks so cool(when it's not bleeding). Kinda like a pirate. haha. My mom was not to happy but she knows I can always take it out so it's not to bad.

Yesterday was just an all around good day. Classes went well, got to hang out with my friends and got pierced. I already had my dinner with my family, so I got to have like two birthdays. I feel so lucky now.

Today was so cold and rainy outside. It was icky. I honestly had no desire to do anything today. I got back from class, took a nap, a part of a novel for my composition class, and took another nap. It's just so nasty outside and my bed was warm and nice.

I did, however, get to wear my new rain coat. I noticed is had zippers in armpits. Yes, the armpits unzip so you can sweat. That's kinda gross.

My grandma called me on my birthday and she is just so damn cute. She's kinda like a kitten or a puppy. Everything she does is cuter than the last thing she did and you just gotta say awww.

I have some funny stories but I'm done for now.

Back in Oxford,

Now that I'm back in Oxford, I finally have a quiet place to write where my parents aren't judging me while I write. I/m also soo tired now because I was on the road from 7:30am to 8:30pm. It's only a nine hour drive but I had to stop several times, my dad doesn't go over the speed limit and he wanted to stop for dinner in Jackson.

My birthday is next week so my parents took me out on Friday for my birthday dinner. If you're parents ever say they will take any where you want to go out to eat, (and you're in Houston) say Vic and Anthony's. It's kinda expensive (like $35 a person) but it's the best service and best food you can get. That Friday was so perfect. First I went shopping with my mom and then I got to get dressed up to go to dinner. It was just an all around awesome day. Also, when you go to Vic an Anthony's get the strings and chips appetizer. We got it and then three tables around us got it.

I finally saw The Blind Side this weekend. It was amazing. Sandra Bullock was amazing. Go see it. Also all the stuff they said about Ole Miss is true. Including the dorm rooms and traditions. I loved it.

I am so dumb for forgetting to turn on my cable in my dorm room. So my choice this evening were Haiti coverage or the golden globes. Luckily, House come on so I was saved.

Finally, I finished my puzzle last night. Woo Whoooo!! I lost a piece of it though. OK y'all I'm getting sleepy and I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.

PS- The bridge over the Mississippi still scares me every time I go over it.
