ok, i'll b the 1st to admit that my life is pretty rockin right now. it's quite above avg. i think a lot of that has 2 do w/ the lack of drama and i'm happy 2. when u need 2 relax from the stresses of cmu, it's nice 2 have some1 2 cuddle w/. :) but now he left. grr. so unfair. nofe-air, leaving early. boo. ahh, well, i shall also be home bound in 2 days. well, jersey bound i should say. it's so weird 2 call it home. i think i confuse a lot of ppl, cuz every1 knows i'm from tx..so it's all weird. w/e.

this break is soooo needed. the word fat will not exist during this break. so i've gained like 3 or so lbs so far. damn. ahh well, cant b concerned w/ things like that now.
oooo!!! it snowed the other day. and we were ice skating....it was so great. snowballs and such. thanx dave 4 stuffing dirty snow in my mouth. i'll get u back 4 that. dont u worri. i still have yet to learn how to skate well. but w/ my suitemate nisha who is a friggin ice skater, i shall learn. 2 bad i 4got my camera and dave's batteries ran out.

ooo i cant wait till dave gets his pictures uploaded from his camera of lisa's party. soooo MUCH FUN!! i had a ball yo. as usual, me the mother just felt obliged to clean and such. but i'm glad i did. and every1 was so helpful.
o yea, CONGRATS to cmu's Lambda Phi Epsilon Alpha class! u guys totally deserve it, after all the work u did. yayyy!!!

after break is gonna begin hermitizing. test on wed, 2 quizzes on thursday, and a quiz on friday. finals begin on tuesday. and w/ culture night on sunday, i'm gonna have little to no time 2 study 4 physics. *sigH*. it's all good. it's all concepts right? i've been studying 4 the tests.... culture nite is gonna b KOOL! every1 should go. yup yup. i need 2 go over my lines again....it's all good. run thru 2nite. ahh! i still need 2 do physics reflections...does my life always revolve around academics? not really...it just seems like it. if it did, my grades would b sooo much better.

alright, i hope every1 has a safe trip and a great break! HAPPY THANKSGIVING YALL!!!!!!

thanx 4 the junior mints pringle!!! :)

Hallo! long time no blog. i havent had time really, plus i havent had that much to say. ok, maybe i've had time. and maybe i've had stuff to say. but i'm 2 lazy 2 put it in here. :)

i'm so sleepy right now. AHHHH! i'm gonna try 2 sleep this weekend. another physics test this thursday. *sigH* i dont think i'm ever gonna move from the "C" range.
thank goodness for the holidays! and then get to come back and take finals...

i'd just like to say that high schoolers dont kno what stress is until they have to take a test tha tis 50% of their final grade. and 40% of the rest is the other test they take.

hey, i thought once u leave high school, all that immature drama fades away. how wrong i was. i'm just glad that i'm not actively involved in drama now. :) there was no drama involved w/ me. minus the 100000+ times i heard "awwwww how CUTE". hehehehehe.

it's soooooo COLD right now. currently feels like 24 degrees outside. yea 24!!!!! i'm dying man. DYING i tell u!

HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! so good! so SCARY! sean biggerstaff baby.....sean biggerstaff. i still like. but did any1 else notice that tom riddle was purty cute? maybe if he wasnt a bad guy, it'd b better.

o yea, CONGRATS MARY!!!!! i'm so proud of u!!! my chickadee is a brand new sigma! woohoo! yay!!!

and b4 i get, happy birthday shawn! i dunno if i'm gonna get around 2 getting u/mailing u a present this week...but i didnt 4get!!!

ya know what i was thinking about today? how we all led separate lives b4 we came to college. each and everyone of us had our own friends, own family, own place to call home. and now our paths cross with others. these ppl now are our friends, family, and our dorm/apts are our homes. when we talk about how "i need to go back home to change", we mean our little nook. i have to say, i feel quite lucky to have crossed paths w/ all these spiffy nifty ppl here. altho a large portion of the ppl here are FREAKS, there's a lot of kool ppl left. i'm glad that these ppl are in my life. :)

Should be doing hw, but instead i think i'm gonna update this. i feel so left out; stupid xangers. NOO! dont give in! hehehehe. anywayz, yea. i thought this would be a good time to show some differences between here and home. besides the blatantly obvious, of course.

*~WEATHER! my face is so dry. Good ole houstonian weather w/ the humidity. HA. Plus, it's so COLD HERE! and it's not even REALLY cold yet...
*~Language. I still get made fun of about my "yall"ing. mostly by ppl i dont talk to ask much. it's ok, cuz dave and elaine say yall now! woohoo! plus, the swole/diesel battle. no1 here uses swole @ all. it's weird. but see, diesel applies to more things than swole.
*~PpL. it's just...different. i wont say if it's a good or bad different, it's just different. i still feel alittle lonesome sometimes w/ out my huge network of friends(it's been building since i was born in houston...).
*~Transportation. No car. walking a lot. stairs. waiting 4 buses. not really used to that yet.
*~Parties! i miss the indian parties! it's so weird, the divisions. omg my suite mate was playing this indian song the other day, and i was like OMG I KNOW THIS SONG! it bought back memories. it was that song we used in international night for the fashion show, and simi danced to it. plus, the countless times we "screwed in the light bulb" and did our indian style dance, including bhavna-style. :) Plus, we dont go clubbing here. it's like...club parties. hard 2 explain.
*~Academics is a mofo here. i dont wanna start venting about physics again. but it's quite different.
*~Diet. i'm eating so incredibly horribly now. must stop. getting so fat! that plus lack of exercise is not doing good 4 me.
*~I have to go back to that friends thing again. i'm luvin my "dj plej sac/dj jelcaps" group and all the other spiffy koolio beets ppl i've met and hung out w/, but i'm still missing my kids from home. there's something about my oldie but goldie friends...esp. those that have been w/ me thru the long haul. patrick, pat, jess, ann. u guys are my preciouses! i know i'm not cutesy or anything. i dont type cutesy, i dont talk cutesy. it's not my style. but if i did, i'd bust out there some. :) So do our high school friends really start fading after a while? cuz i still talk 2 mine @ least online practically everyday.

I cant think of anything else right now that's diff. my brain is frozen right now. which reminds me. soOooO cold! send me stuff to wear! i realize this layer of blubber that's growing in size will help, but it's not doing enuf. any and all contributions to the stephanie is cold foundation will be greatly appreciated.
OMG HARRY POTTER IS COMING OUT! so what am i gonna do? should i skip history and risk losing an attendance grade, or have like absolutely no time to get ready 4 semi formal? it's like a gamble. not that semi is that important or anything...but still need to look presentable. but HARRY POTTER! ok, i need to see who's gonna go w/ me 1st. gotta go opening day. keep up the tradition right? ;)
i'm screwed on my w. hist. paper. *sigh*

i actually had a good time @ t3, altho some ppl said they didnt. only problem were the DJs(no offense 2 them). too much techno, not enuf hiphop, so messy mixes, and changing songs too fast. PLUS they didnt play my song. :(
stayed up till like 7:30 AM. uh....yea. hehehe interesting tho. highlights of the nite include watching frank lose his drinking virginity, dancing like a maniac, and find out i'm not the only person that likes the song "all i really want" by kim lucas. yay malcom! all that "ghetto stuff" i learned back home has some usefullness, huh? hearing about cars and counterstrike everyday during B lunch, going 2 all those parties and having pat talk djing w/ me, and watching break dancing since like early middle school, starnig @ CYC. good ole CYC. i guess i'm kinda glad i knew about that stuff b4 i came. ppl would prolly think i was a freak if i didnt. but i'm a freak anywayz. jumping around, making a fool out of myself on a daily basis. fun stuff man. but when it comes down to it, i can b hard core nerd.
omg my dad called @ 8:30 in the friggin MORNING. 1 hour after i went 2 sleep. then i woke up @ 11:30 from my roommates and such. coudlnt get back 2 sleep for a while, so i just laid in my bed and talked 2 margot. somehow i managed to fall back asleep, and woke up @ 4. i was like o crap, ifs! took a shower, got food, and left. on a happy note, since i hadnt each in like 20 hours, my stomach was looking so flat. :) but then i had underground food, and yea. it was over.
culture night practice was a BLAST. i havent laughed that much in a while. corny, cheesy, dorky, but hilarious. i'm not gonna reveal anything; it wont b funni if u know b4 hand. i make a complete fool out of myself. plus i'm a pretty crummy actress. plus i'm not ladylike. but THATS OK cuz i'm gonna TRY.
so ppl keep trying 2 make me go watch the ring and other scary movies, like minority report...etc. i dont see y they dont choose to go watch the NICE movies. HAPPY movies. feel GOOD movies. i'm into chick flicks. ahh! still need to watch sweet home alabama. gotta do that w/ my girls.
DJ PLEJ SAC all the way! yea, we're still working on the combination for that. also could be jelcaps, slej pac, japslec, so many options! still looking 4 the best one. so far, plej sac is the one we're sticking w/.
got a bit of work this week. back 2 hermit mode. but 1st gotta clean my room. so MESSY!

HmmMm...what was i thinking about today? how i work so hard, but the best i can do is mediocre. seriously. b4 when i didnt work THAT hard, i was @ the bottom of the curve. now, i'm working my booty off, and i'm in the average range. GREAT huh? for once, i think it'd b nice to be @ the top of the curve. but w/ my intelligence @ this school, it aint happening anytime soon. i mean, i knew this was to happen once i got here. *sigh* it's ok. i guess it's better than being in the bottom again right? but i'm working so hard to get where i am now...actually, ok. truthfully, i could work alittle harder. to me, 100% would be dedicating your life to academics. uh NO. i think a good balance is maybe 80% of your time should b doing academics. not bad, right? 70-80%ish. i'm prolly giving around 65% right now. altho u might not think so by the way no1 ever sees me besides my roommates, i dont do THAT much work. i'm kinda lazy, and i like to take naps. :) i guess i should try to boost my input to around 68-70%ish. i could do it. but sometimes, it's so hard to work. i think there's those days, where u just wanna do jack crap. those are 95% of the days. and once in a while, once in a blue moon, i'll feel like working hard. i wish those days came about more often. where i cant get distracted. i hope that happens during finals week. or finals 2 week. omg btw, i have a test on the LAST DAY of finals, and 2 tests on the day b4 the last day. how ghetto is that? both of my roommates are gonna b gone like @ the beginning of that week, while loser me will still b here. grrr. and on the topic of finals, i'll only have 1 full day to dedicated to studying for the physics final, which is on a tuesday. the week b4 i have all these quizzes and such, and on the sunday b4 is culture night. and how the heck am i gonna be able to do hard core studying after that? argh. i'm already doing quite wonderfully bad in that class. failed that quiz today again w/ flying colors. not as bad as my roommate, tho. she didnt kno there was a back side. ouch.
MAN it's time 4 me to party again! i havent for a few weekends now. since...aaw party i think? T3 man...biggest party of the year, supposedly. and skankiest. that's 4 those boys. i'm dressing nice, not naughty. w/ the rolls of fat that have developed since attending this school, i rather cover up. but yes. it's time 4 some FUN!
On a sadder note, my parents arent coming up this weekend anymore. I just wanna say i love my mommy and i hope that everything works out in taiwan ok, so she can come home and so i can see her. i miss her! everything will b ok in the end right?
haha btw, i just wanna say that i'm not as boy-crazy as i seem in my blogs. it's just pent up frustration. yea, other girls feel the same way as me. trust me. it's been discussed.
o man, i stayed up late watching the mummy returns in jared's room last nite w/ some other floor buddies. did that instead of studying 4 physics. not that the studying would've done me any good. those quizzes are pointless to study for. so yea, had a bit of lack of sleep b/c of that. but that's ok, b/c i'm starting to really enjoy the company of the ppl on my floor. i'm kinda jealous of the C tower ppl tho. they have all those kool bonds. plus, way kool ppl. us D tower ppl, we're more loners. too bad C tower is so far away. btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA! not that she reads this, but hey, it's the thought that counts right? o man 1 of the guys on my floor made a couch out of empty bottles. pretty kool, eh? its' actually quite comfortable. he covered it w/ this foam packing material that his roomie found 4 free outside, doherty maybe? i dont kno exactly where. but it even has a round foam "pillow". it's quite pimp. so yea, there's kool ppl on my floor. and the ppl across the hall from me, where i watched the mummy last nite, they bought a couch @ goodwill for 40 bucks. it even reclines and everything. its' like....leatherish. pretty comfortable too. it's amazing they got it all the way to their room. interesting characters.
anywayz, i'm gonna jet now and maybe take a nap so i can b all pumped up for T3! woohoo!
