There is nothing like Ice Cold Water to wake you up....

All my water froze in my fridge, so when I am thirsty (or think I will be thirsty) I must take one out and let it sit for a while. Now, when ice melts it turns into water, and the bottle can only handle so much pressure....so when I opened the bottle the water came rushing out and into my lap....now do you understand my title? Also, when Lindsey and I filmed our Physics music video (which for those of you who have not seen it, it is on youtube....titled nuns and inertia) and we jumped into the pool...that was freezing as well. Stupid as I am, that was not the first time I voluntarily got into a freezing cold pool. Brittany was trying to trick my grandfather (who, even though suffered a stroke and is out-there, knew the pool was cold in January) into going into the pool. She decided she would push me in to show him it was fine. I hesitated and we basically wrestled each other to the ground (those of you who know my sister know I must be pretty strong to hold up a fight with her for this long) and I surrendered myself because I knew she would fall in too....that was really cold, I couldn't feel any part of my body and I was having trouble breathing for a while afterwards (not too good)....

But anyway, on to my current life....

Yesterday I had my calc test, I don't think I need to go into detail. It was painfully easy.
Also, I had lab bio (we played with seashells), I had to roll a pair of dice 100 times and record the numbers I rolled (riveting stuff).....
And acting! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH

ok, so we were supposed to have a monologue picked out and memorized on Tuesday but I missed class so I procrastinated even more and waited until wed to start memorizing mine (really bad thespian I know)...and on Thurs I had to perform it for my teacher for feedback and I will perform it for the class on Tues. But, I was worried because I waited so long to do it...it was Catherine from the Foreigner...... but I went in and did the best I knew how and she said, "You have such a beautiful presence onstage that I couldn't tear myself away from your performance to take notes." That got into a really good mood. But now that I have shared my good mood-ness, I want to drop the subject because I need to focus on it and I am not at any point where I can just not-do and be amazing, heck when I do-do I am not amazing.... also I feel weird talking about myself in this way....so, I'm done

Today I had english, my favorite class (if you cannot tell how I cringe when I say that...imagine the thought of getting your tooth pulled by a giant rhino tusk...still attached to the rhino)

But my friend (Lindsey, the only one I have) David (aka-Chubbs...idk) is in that class. On Wed I went out to breakfast with him and his friends. Today we weren't hungry enough to go get food, so we walked around for 90 minutes. It's great because both of our next classes start at the same time. We are the worst at killing time though. He walked with me to turn in some papers, then he showed me the secret garden on campus (that place is cool; it's relaxing and quiet, and remote) and we found a bench and talked. It was nice.

I went to bio...I swear this old man is like Mr. Dole just less eccentric. He talks about the perverted science stuff, which most teachers talk about but make it get-your-mind-out-of-the-gutter-this-is-nature, in the most perverted way possible....today he was talking about how rhino tusks (my reasoning for using that example earlier I guess) we ground down to make aphrodisiacs but nowadays we have Viagra which, "I have heard, I don't personally use it" works better and is cheaper.... That was awkward... I thought you you Allison...you know why, "Afternoon Delight"

In about 25 minutes I will leave to go to the most pointless class ever, Orientation to Theatre and Film. We are working in our groups today which I have never met and we have to do something or another.....whatever....I will just go with the flow....like a dead goldfish being flushed down the toilet....

Later, Lindsey will come over and I will give her the grand tour of ASU....Allison will get hers on Sun. And we are going to go see Doubt, a tony winning and Pulitzer prize winning play about a nun who thinks the priest is having relations with a male student. The movie, starring Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymore Hoffman, opens in theatres on December 12. And, the critics are already saying their performances are Oscar nominations at least. The trailer looks amazing! If you want to watch it go to simplystreep.com and you can find it there. It is worth watching.

I just realized I have my bio final on that day! YAY! At least I will end the day on a good note...kind of....

Well long time no mad lib so, and I will still give prizes....it may just be difficult to get good ones....

Monkey see, monkey __________ (don't be boring and say "do")

Bon Appetit!

Ha ha! I figured out how to comment. Okay...so you all are being poohs for not commenting on Emily's blog. I mean, come on! She puts all this effort into relating semi-interesting information to you about her life and you do nothing?! And it's not like she's trying to make it only semi-interesting...she's telling you everything worth telling- it just so happens that her life it rather dull right now. Sorry Em. :(

So, anyway, I just wanted to say good for you for socializing with David I guess. I am proud to have taught you so well.

Ok...now for the best end to a mad lib in history.

Monkey see, monkey ....
(drum roll please)

PLAYS THE OBOE!

ok, perhaps its sad that i only skimmed this entry because there is already a new one which i just read in its entirety...and i would do the same for this one, except that i am supposed to be studying right now anyway. and can i just say that kristen is way meaner online? i mean her tendency to insult people (ok, not people, me and Emily) accidently and constantly is one thing. but to call emily's like boring and to flaunt her expanse of friends to those of us in less-than-kind surroundings, at least compared to her's...that's just not right. i guess she makes digs at people online because she can think about it for a really long time. :)

so em, i think you life is awesome! and i will read the post later today, and anything else you post, and i promise to be enthralled, if for no other reason than because i know you are curtious enough to do the same for me.

can't wait to hang with you this weekend! maybe some meryl on saturday after lunch? i might be getting a few dvds for my birthday, and if not, that's what the video store is for! :)

oh, and i'm glad you are friends with David. and i know you're going to make many more! ;)

Oh great. Now Kristen's in on the whole deal. I only have myself to blame. I started the trend...

And I must say, never, in the mulititude of times we have talked, has Kristen displayed insulting or sarcastic characteristics. I must be you guys (I got yo back, gurl!).

Henceforth,I declare myself ignorant of all Meryl talk and shall no longer dignify the obsession with a comment. Unless it is to rub in the fact that I am right next the YSD. Like I am right now.

And Emily, note of caution: keep David from contacting me. Ever. If ever I talk to him without a moderator, Roger will happen again. that is, unless roger never happened...

"Monkey see, Monkey..."

goes back in time, meets with his evolutionary ancestor, accidental mates with her and create a new species of monkey far superior to the proto-humans thus re-writing history as we know it and producing a monkey culture know for its sci-fi flicks, like Planet of the Humans.
