Hey go check out Tuesday Night Tech Dot Com I did a promo for them it's kinda awesome.


Also this is something I quote a lot because well my brother is a loser. So watch this and you'll understand...(if you haven't seen it yet).

चपल

As most of you know I am going to Mississippi College which is a private Baptist college. I'm not Baptist I am Catholic! So this makes it all the more interesting.

Well today I had my first Chapel. Chapel is once a week and required for all students. You only get 3 absences or you don't get credit. So I walk into Chapel today expecting the worse. It was worse than I expected. They had set up the front of the church like a rock concert! There was a smoke machine which made me feel ill and bad lighting. So I'm sitting in the very top right hand corner of the church chillin. They start playing really bad Christian Rock songs.

When it comes to church and music I don't think it should sound like a Rock concert. I think that it's stupid! So they play some songs people get up and sing hold up there hands whatever. Anywayz after that the President got up and spoke for like 30-40 minutes and it was actually pretty interesting. He talked about his family and how he had issues with his Parents growing up and how he found God and I thought that was appropriate. It was a good speech, but it was a very "I'm gonna save everyone speech". Never the less I enjoyed the speech. Then they played more crappy music. When the music was over it was time to leave.

Honestly, I don't know if I can take this every week until I graduate.

By the way Karate is awesome! I'll post some pics and see if I can get some video from class for ya'll.

So Blogger hates titles now obviously. Every time I go to type in a title it does this: ???? ? ??? ????????.

Thats Uncool Blogger FIX IT!

Anywayz, I went out last night with the Grant had a blast. We headed up to Caines and got some grub. After that we headed down to Cups for coffee. I never got my coffee thanks to the long lines and the annoying high school kids! Now normally I can handle the high school scene. My lil brother is in High school and I had a couple of friends just graduate, but last night was stupid ridico! We get out of the car walk in and this kid who couldn't have been over 15 starts walking up backwards next to me trying to get me to go out with him. He had to be rollin. I asked him "How old are you?" he said "Oh, I'm 18 you wanna go to a bar I know a great one" I was like "Sweety you are to young for me and I am so out of your league" he kept pestering me though! Finally I got inside and the line was so stupid we decided to leave. As we were leaving the 15 year old was holding up traffic because he was laying in front of a car that was driving through the parking lot.

After that we met up with Rachel, Mirehead (is that how you spell it?) and Sam up at the Logans. It was fun and the girl that was supposed to be our waitress walked out as we sat down.

We ended up at mireheads and watching the Futurama marathon WOOT! And stuff. It ended up being an awesome night.

First Viddler Blog

This is my First Viddler Blog! WOOT!
It's the first day of classes so check it out :)

Right now I am sitting in Jazzmans Cafe at MC.
My Current iTunes Track is "What I Got" Sublime.


I just got through with my first class with was Fundamentals of Radio. I'm chilling up here until my next class at 1:00.

The class seems like it's going to be fun. The Instructor seems cool and we are going to get to do some radio work.

I love my major! I love every aspect of my major and it was soooo hard to pick a focus. I find the media in general a fun and interesting topic. We are in the Media/Technology/Information age. The Media is going through a major revamp due to the internet and it's something I am really interested in and want to learn more about.

I think that Internet TV is so going to kick off major soon. Already there are popular shows on the Web like AskANinja. And if you don't know what AskANinja is than you have a problem. Also the Strong Bad E-mails have been popular for a long time.

Every aspect of the media is being effected by the internet! Radio, TV, Newspapers, Advertising, etc. It should be interesting to see what happens in the future.

In L-E News: As I was driving to class this morning I almost had a run in with a Deer again! I was driving down Clinton Blvd. and A deer was standing there and started to run then hesitated but thought about hitting my car.

My car must have some sort of Deerdar that says "Hey I'm a target hit me!" or "Deer Suicide machine!" I dunno

Leave me a Comment internet!

Still No Phone

So still no phone. It seems it might be awhile until I can get a new phone. I'll post when I do though :)

Classes offically start tomorrow and I'm stressed. I have no idea what to expect! I am soooo nervous. I want to do well. If you didn't know I don't really have the best track record when it comes to school. I'm trying to change all that.

Really I am trying to reinvent myself. I use to smoke and I quit. I'm trying not to go out as often as I did. I didn't like the person I became so now I am changing. GO ME!

So now I'm off to bed since I do have a 9AM...

Goodnight Internet!

My Cell Phone Broke!

I just got back from Cell South and I still don't have a working cell phone. The guy that assisted me though was very helpful and tried everything to fix my phone. Unfortunately, my phone is not repairable. I thought ok well that's fine it will be just like when I had my Nokia. WRONG! My Warranty ran out a year ago and my Contract runs out in November (even though it should run out in October!)

The guy was nice though and gave me some batteries and the only way to get my phone to work is if you put in a fresh battery and hold the very bottom of the phone by the speaker together. So I can make calls (brief calls


And this is my phone:
My Phone with the huge crack!


How I have to hold my phone to get it to turn on and work


What happens if I don't hold it just the right way


So now I have to buy a new phone. I'm thinking of just getting it off the website since I have to get my Dad to go in the store with me to sign (and that is impossible).

Here are the phones I am looking at:



The newer version of my old phone:


The phone I really really want but probably won't get...

August in Mississippi

It's August in Mississippi so of course it's hot. This year in particular has been a scorching one. For the last week we have had no or little rain in the area and temperatures continue to rise. Right now it is 103 degrees Fahrenheit with no clouds or little to no breeze. There have been a few deaths across the state due to heat as well as West Nile.

My advice to anyone living in the same conditions would be to stop going outside. Stay some where with a working air conditioner. Don't do to much during the day. It's almost so hot that I would cancel school and work! I mean seriously! It's this kind of heat that makes you not want to even eat. Drink plenty of Water and don't drink anything that dehydrates like coffee or alcohol.

I for one am going to stay in my room where there is no light, a fan, air condition, and plenty of water.


Recent Events:
I'm no longer attending Southern Miss anymore (again I know). I left because I couldn't keep my grades up. The mixture of not sleeping due to dorm life, getting sick multiple times throughout the semester, insomnia for a month, and crappy professors resulted in my withdrawal. Since June I have been attending Mississippi College in Clinton. I've moved back in with my parents for the 2 remaining years of college. I'm still a Communications major with a focus in PR and hopefully a minor in Graphic Design. So far at Mississippi College I've made 2 B's and an A. I'm still with Mike (whom just came to visit) and I'm happy.

Southern Miss has a lot of problems that they need to address concerning renovation of dorms, firing and hiring professors, and they should probably not just let everyone in that applies. I know it's a public college and all but honestly they really do let anyone and everyone in even if you don't meet the requirements. Now that the school is under a new President hopefully things will change and I may consider going back for grad school. At this moment though I'm happy with my situation and where I am. Except for the whole Mike thing, I wish he was going to school with me up here.

Got Sick!

So Not only did I slip and fall in the commons this morning because of a puddle by the place to put your trays I also became ill. I ate the eggs which usually I don't have a problem with. This morning though was a different case. I got sick to my stomach and still feel pretty gross. Something needs to be done about the commons. I know more people that get food poisoning and stuff like that from the commons. They obviously don't keep the food fresh or aren't storing it properly. I think it's about time for the health department make a surprise visit!

Culture Change

I love old TV shows. Especially TV shows from the 90's. I was a 90's child and love those old shows. Especially Classic Nick. Never did I realize how different TV was back then. Current Events were in a lot of episodes unlike today where it's just cartoons with mindless matter. Sure there were shows like that back then but not like today. It fascinates me how things have changed over the years. Not to mention how TV shows change.

The generation from the 70's has influenced our culture so heavily. They were the baby boomers and drug influenced. It's changed our culture so drastically. This brings up a question what if the baby boomer era didn't happen would culture be what it is today? Would the US be at the top of the Economy? I think most likely not! History fascinates me and studying things like that is cool. Not to mention I love to study journalism and stuff like that (thank goodness it's my major!).

Of course this isn't what I should be focusing on right now. I need to be working on the short stories in my Intro to Fiction book. I dunno for once I just can't get into it!

And why can't I seem to get a handle on my room!

Keep it real peeps!

College

Is College really necessary? It seems to be today the higher education has become to much like High School. For one I don not think you should have to pay for College. Maybe a Graduates degree but to get and Undergrad degree I don't think you should have to pay. Other countries make this happen why can't America? It seems stupid to me that we have to put out thousands of dollars so that we can go to college to get a degree so we can get a job. Now a days Employers won't higher you without this degree. This creates a problem for those who don't have the money to attend college. Sure they can get scholarships but some can't. I find it ridiculous that we put so much money toward school when most of the classes are very high schoolish. The Education system desperately needs a makeover. The world is changing and education is being ignored. Maybe it's time the government starts doing something about it.

Another thing I have noticed is that the higher ups in the university have way to much power. They decide pay and give themselves to much money. At Southern Miss I feel the money we are paying as a student body to go here is being misused. Sure here and the they do something to benefit the campus but it seems lately that isn't the case.

Also the rules. It seems that Universities are cracking down creating more rules. Sure the 90's went wild and made everyone nervous about giving College students freedom but that doesn't mean this generation is the same. More rules on more campus' are being put in place about dorms, alcohol, and many other things.

It seems one thing that is deteriorating is Greek Life. Every year Sororities and Fraternities are getting smaller. Sure they were founded years ago and things in the world have changed but it's that common bond that keep them going. Though after the 90's more and more people don't want anything to do with Greek life. Greek Life has evolved over the years and now it is just an organization that you give tons of money to and you have a billion things you are required to do. Many times (not always) you loose that sense of a bond and friendship. I think Greek Life is a great thing but it as well needs a makeover.

We as a culture are stuck in a change. We are unable to get past this change and move on. It will be interesting to see where culture goes now and how things will develop.

Life sucks!

So For the past month I've been sick. Not just oh damn I'm sick like really really sick! I've missed classes I've killed myself trying to get my work done. My eyes are sunken in I don't get much sleep. I'm not doing so great in my classes and I feel like I'm about to die. No really not like sarcastically like for real. I feel that sick. I'm weak and I think If I push myself anymore I'm going to be in the hospital. Between Trying to be there for Anna this Month and Trying to be a good girlfriend and a good daughter and a good sister and a good student and friend I've exhausted myself. I just hope I can find the energy to keep going. But Right now if I fell asleep I wouldn't mind never waking up.

I got A MAC!

So My compaq finally bit the dust. It lived a good long life for a compaq I'm proud to say. Now I have a MacBook and I love it! The keyboard makes me happy, it's faster, I no longer have windows, and it's just a better computer all together. Life is crazy right now. Classes just keep loading on the work and I struggle to keep up. I don't get much sleep and I work all the time. I need a vacation and Spring Break couldn't come soon enough.

Britney Spears shaved her head. This just is a sign of the end of the world! OR is it the beginning? I don't know... hmmm...

Anywayz, other than the crazy bs of school and work and never getting to see or talk to Mike life is good.

Anywayz Keep it Real Folks!

A long year of Suffering has ended

Its finally over. My Long year of living at home is over. I'm finally returning to Southern Miss this spring as a Communications major. I'm very excited. It doesn't bother me that I'm moving into a dorm and not an apartment. I'm just excited to be going home. I just wish Mike was going to be there. It's going to be hard to keep this long distance thing going but I know we can do it. We love each other enough to make it work.

I'm so mad at Montana for joing the army. ALASKA! I mean really what is in Alaska besides Lumberjacks and Penquins! I want to go...

Oh they released the name for the 7th and final harry potter book.
Its called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
It just sounds so dark and spooky. I'm very excited!
