Spoiled Brat







We've been putting away the Christmas decoration today since 8am, and we just now took a break to eat and dote on "Her Majesty". Well, back to work.

Agog! Aghast!




John, Todd, and I hung out today. It started off with reacquainting ourselves with the sushi at Pepper Chino's, followed by a "digesting period" at Starbuck's. After sitting and laughing at John's hiccups, we ventured forth to try and walk around Target ... but it was gone. Ah well, shit happens. We went to Todd's and watched Return of the King part one.


Phillip was sweet and swung by my house after work to talk and to hand me a cherry limeade from Sonic.

The End!

Too Much Testosterone


Went out to Doerre's back field to watch (laugh at) boys playing football. John H. and Todd B. came and we chatted for a while. Sushi tomorrow! It was one of the guys' going-away party, apparently. We all had a fantastic dinner at Craig's house that his mother prepared, and I watched the males play poker for a bit.

Meet my new pet: Fred, the betta fish (and his suspended aquarium), my present from Phillip's parents.

Dearest Mother,

Ask yourself why I leave your house so hastily. That is the answer to everything.

Your Eldest Failure,
Julia

Happy Christmahannukwanzamas to you and yours

Love,
Julia and Pii-chan

Scared
"Nice guy. Unabashed communist/Marxist, yet wants us to buy 6 books! Skim thru readings, you get general idea, easy to BS on essay exams. Very lazy. 2 weeks left of school, we still don't have our midterm grades! Syllabus has been revised 3 times. Likes to hear himself talk. Gets irritated look when student interjects."

"Class infuriates me. He spends most of his lecture time promoting his communist propaganda. I've never met another prof who was wrong about absolutely everything. He is completely unorganized and you never know quite what to expect on his tests."

These are 2 of the few coherent reviews amid the furious rants on the Texas Politics professor I'll have next semester on RateMyProfessor.com. Switching around classes is near impossible now, so I'll just have to try and enjoy this guy.

Moon Ring


It's the prettiest ring I've seen. (Too bad I can't wear it.) You can't see it too well in the picture, but it was very clear to the naked eye. It's a full moon, too. I love being able to catch these things ... they make me feel special.

Water, Water Everywhere
I know water is included in the rent, but this is more water than I ever bargained for.

You see, I woke up this morning around 10am and found my bathroom area had been transformed in to huge puddle. I mopped up the mess with a towel, but I realized after 10 minutes, that the water kept showing up. "#$%^#*&!!!" It was a live leak. I mopped up the puddle every 5 minutes for 4 hours waiting for maintenance to show up.

Long story short: Mr. Plumber Dude came eventually, sawed a hole in the wall, sawed the pipe, and fixed the pipe that had sprung a leak. He just got done now, and since he didn't have enough hands to vacuum water and fix the leak at the same time, he was soaking wet. 6 buckets of water ... that's how much the apartment had to pay for today in excess.





Thank you, Mr. Plumber Dude. *Reeeeal men of geeeeenius*

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe surpassed even my expectations, especially in the case of Mr. Tumnus (James McAvoy). Hawt.

I must watch it again.

2 finals down 1 to go. I should get an A to A+ on the history final, but I doubt I passed Linguistics. Damn damn DAMN! Well, nothing I can do now.

I study and occasionally destress by playing and feeding birdie, like so:


I will be going home right after my last final on Tuesday, the 13th. And here's what my schedule (pronounced "SHED-yool" :p) will look like next semester:


5 classes, 14 hours. That's pretty decent, right? That's all I have right now. Back to studying.

Calm before the Storm



Roomie had her first final today, but other than that, nothing's been going on here in SA. All three of us are just relaxing in the warmth of our apartment.

Epic Quest: Part Deux



Steph-o, Posey, and I embarked on the continuation of the Epic Quest to Target (etc.). We didn't really buy much of anything, but Steph and I did buy matching pairs of shiny, embroidered shoes at Ross. Posey will go back on Friday to do the same.



Much fun was had. That is all.

(As we suffer The Alamo, a required viewing for her history class)

Roomie: It was Mexico's territory originally, right?
Me: ... you watching this [movie] is like me watching Pearl Harbor. It can't be helped; it's a white movie.
