ahhh, it's ash wednesday, the day to start the Lent fast thing (catholicism...) and just like every other year, i couldn't think of what to give up/do for the 40 days. so i asked (e:amanda) stupid me... jk

and after arguing with her for over an hour that i can't give "something" up, i have decided to actually go with what she said i should do... but instead, to even go farther...

I'm not gonna say what it is, but amanda, you will figure it out soon enough.

oh my god, i already miss it, and im only a little over 10 hours into the 40 days... ahhhh

(but i am putting in the clause that under necessary circumstances... i will permit it :- i know, i know, but not for fun... just business)

i have a feeling my cell phone is gonna get a lot of use these next 40 days... call my room phone as much as possible!!!! do you even know that number??? ;)

congratulations (e:amanda)

you did it!!!

(and you didn't even mess it up!!!)

just a little bit further next time ;)

so I'm on this kick of telling stupid little stories, so here's another ;)

so... last night, i went out to the living room to sit and watch some TV with Imani, one of my roommates. ya know, just wanted a little break from the stupid pointless homeowrk i was doing...

and as i sit down, i start to hear this humming.... so i ask her, "what's that noise?" and at first she says she doesn't hear anything... and i think to myself, 'how can she not here that???' then she said she can kinda hear it and she must have zoned it out, but think's it must be from outside or something... i even asked her to turn the TV off to see if that was making the noise, but nope... still this humming noise.

then i see this look on her face... this little evil look, and i think to myself, 'Oh, my God, what is she doing???'

so i left the room a minute to go get something from my room and to leave her alone a minute... and by the way, I was begining to get really disgusted by what i thought she was doing...

then i came back, really not anxious to sit out there with her, and i still heard it... and by the look on her face i was even more convinced that she was up to something....

so as i was about to give up on sitting there with her, i reached under the coffee table in front of her to grab my sandals to go outside for a few minutes when i saw it....

she had a little foot massager under there... that's what was making all that noise...

I was like, "what the Hell, you knew all along what that noise was!" and yes, she did, but she knew what i was thinking and wanted to see how long i would go believing it....

ahhhh, hasn't my poor sofa gone through enough this semester??? ;)

but i guess the foot massaging didn't do the trick, cuz i just got back from her basketball game, and Duke beat them :(

maybe the other noise would have helped more ;) jk

every semester i hit this wall in which i get these assignments and i have absolutly no idea how to do them... but it's only the 3rd week, the start of the 3rd week... and i already don't know how to do this stuff :( what the hell!!!

i spent so long on my HVAC homework... but i guess since i never understood thermodynamics, it's understandable that i can't do this stuff... ahhh, so frustrating. my professors always just look at me like im a moron when i go to ask em for help on these assignments... but come on now... how am i suppossed to know how to calculate the enthalpy of the moist air at such and such relative humidity at both sea level and at 1525 meters above sea level??? ahhh, i don't even know where to find that.... this sucks...

but now I'm gonna try my masonry assignment, again... but like i said above, I never understood my concrete class so what makes me think I'm gonna have any idea how to do this masonry stuff???

ahhh, soo frustrating... and way too early in the semester to be this confused :(

ah ha!!! i finished the work i needed to finish with time to spare... so I'm gonna use that time to tell of what i learned as i was doing my work all day.

One of my roommates, Alex, get's her hair redone about every 2 weeks... i remember the first time i saw her right before she had it done i said to her, "oh my god, you cut your hair so short!" but no, stupid me... the long hair i always see isn't real... i was soo shocked at this, but whatever... so today and tomorrow she's getting it redone!!!

but before it can get done, she has to cut out the old one which was sewed in, there were literally brown threads that stitched her actual braided hair to this stuff that really reminded me of the "kid sister" doll, you know... the girl form of "my buddy"?





but my job this morning was to cut the threads... so nerve racking, i thought i was gonna cut her hair... and its so short already... i don't wanna cut any more...

well I'll tell ya, that was interesting... i would have never thought you could sew hair onto other hair... i've heard of it, but eeek, never actually saw it up close

and now and all day she has been sitting out on the floor in the living room and a girl from the track team is braiding these, what look to be 3 foot long hairs (after braded) to her head... it's been taking all day and I'm thinking will take long into the night... but still... it amazes me, so much effort...

and i thought brushing my hair and putting it in a pony tail after my shower, with the every few month trim, was enough work...

ok, well, that's all for now... gotta get to sleep ;)
