… to the Campus People Watchers for linking to my blog!
I’ll definitely go to the Dance Dance Revolution group watching event on Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009 at 2pm-3pm at Goldy’s Game Room. I bet it’s going to be a lot of fun! 
(There’s your event plug for the… two people that might stumble across my blog…)
Oh, blog. I’ve neglected you… Lo siento. I’ll try not to let it happen again (read: it’ll probably happen again because lucky me, my internet at my house isn’t working).
Anyway…
This is my last semester of college… That’s weird. All this time, I’ve just been focusing on almost being done and getting out of school, but just recently, it hit me that this is my last semester of college. There is no “spring semester.” There is no “next year.” Whatever I wanted to do while I was in college, I need to do now. No more holding off. No more procrastinating. As our dear Gopher football team likes to say, “THE TIME IS NOW!” So, for the next few months, I’m going to make it a point to do the following:
I guess we’ll see how successful I am at accomplishing these things. I’m sitting in Espresso Expose right now, so #2 is off to a good start. And I was just at my favorite place on campus yesterday, so again, that’s another good start.
Anyway, Espresso Expose just started playing The Beatles, so I’m really distracted right now. That’s okay though ’cause I think I’ll end this here and continue listening to The Beatles.
Has it seriously been three (going on four) months since I last wrote?
Hm. I guess it has.
Things just got a little busy. Between classes, work, traveling, and studying abroad for three weeks in Copenhagen, I didn’t really have much time to update this blog. But now that I’m back and starting to settle into my summer groove, I’ll hopefully be able to update more.
Unfortunately, this is all I have for right now. I have other things to attend to.
P.S.
:(
Aww…

So… plans for tonight fell through. Now I’m sitting on the couch all by myself watching 300. Somehow, I feel like there should be at least one guy in the room if I’m going to be watching this movie… Whatever, there are enough men in the movie. Actually, come to think of it, 300 should really be considered a chick flick. I mean, what kind of guy wants to watch a movie with a bunch of nearly naked men flexing their muscles and showing off their chiseled abs? Yeah, it’s definitely for all the single ladies (all the single ladies!).
Holy ****! He just stabbed that thing in the eye!!!
Oh yeah. It’s a chick flick.
Further proof: It’s got my man, Rodrigo Santoro (who was in Love Actually and LOST).
Boy you can take home to meet the parents.
"God-King" you can take... to Claire's where you can get piercings and cheap jewelry!
Maybe one more.
Oh yeah. Mom would definitely approve.
Wikipedia is addicting. Seriously.
After spending the better part of my day shopping with the roommate and cooking, I decided to have a nice, low-key Saturday night with my laptop. It started with getting a little more caught up with “Heroes,” an addicting show in itself (if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do). Coming off my “Heroes” high, I then went on Wikipedia to refresh my memory of past episodes and characters as well as to see if I could get any new insights on the show.
What was supposed to be a quick stop at Wikipedia turned into getting lost in that beautiful website for two hours. Starting Point: “Heroes,” Ending Point: “Kyrill, Prince of Preslav.” Here’s a more detailed account of the Wikipath I took:
Man, Wikipedia is awesome. I mean, look at how much I learned on a Saturday night when classes aren’t even in session. Seriously. Who needs college when I’ve got Wikipedia?
And it’s not a good place to be.
in·ter·me·di·ate
adj. Lying or occurring between two extremes or in a middle position or state
Yup. That’s me. I’m caught between:
1. Being good and being bad.
2. Wanting to be sorry and wanting to be mad.
3. Being happy and being sad.
(Yay for rhyming, yo.)
I don’t like being between two extremes. You see, when you’re clearly on one end, there are certain criteria that define your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, etc. But when you’re in the middle, the criteria just blow up. They don’t exist. Instead, you’re left to pick criteria from either extreme. And you know what? That’s cheating. You don’t end up with nice criteria. You end up with mutt criteria, and mutt criteria do a shoddy job of telling you how to act.
Bleh.
But you know, maybe it’s not that bad being in an intermediate state. Okay. Allow me to speak nerd for a paragraph or two to explain.
n. Chemistry A substance formed as a necessary stage in the manufacture of a desired end product.
Well. That’s encouraging. “Necessary stage.” “Desired end product.” So even though I’m in this intermediate stage now, perhaps it won’t last forever. It’s good to think of it in the sense that I need to go through this stage first before getting to a stage I want to be at.
Duh. I should’ve known that. The evidence is everywhere.
You have to walk before you run. You have to go through an awkward adolescence before becoming an adult. You have to wait before… oh, a billion nice things.
So I guess being in an intermediate state, while not completely enjoyable, isn’t entirely a bad thing. To be honest, that’s not the conclusion I was planning on drawing when I started writing this post. I was totally planning on harping on the sucky side of being in the middle, but as I kept writing, Dictionary.com showed me the error of my ways and said, “Hey, it’s not so bad being in the middle. Check out definition three.” Thanks, Dictionary.com.
I guess, that makes this post pointless… save for this:
P.S. After writing this, I have the urge to listen to Jimmy Eat World.
