You Decide...

Ghetto?

Or just a spaz who claws herself in her sleep?

P.S.--It's my birthday on Thursday, and I wan't that bling that Nelly has around his neck, okay?

Tunnels

In light of recent events, aka my little tunnel incident on I94 a few weeks ago, mom sent me this video to pick on me.

The 3,150 m long Lefortovo tunnel in Russia, (near Poland) is the longest in-city tunnel in all of Europe. It is nicknamed 'The Tunnel of Death'. There is a river running over the tunnel and water leaks through in some areas. When the temperature reaches nearly 0°C like it does during the winter in Russia, the road freezes and becomes as slippery as . . . well . . . ice. The result is this video, which was taken during a single day with the tunnel surveillance camera.

Congratulations to the dual-carriage bus driver! Jon, let's see some of that fancy drivin' outta you!

I, on the other hand, am moving to North Carolina the first chance I get.

Winding Down

I officially only have 10 days of classes left! The last 3 of those are for finals, but I only have 1 day of them. I got pretty lucky, despite taking a pretty full schedule this semester. I took 4 more credits than last semester, yet somehow my finals schedule is much less hectic. Granted I have a research paper in place of a test....but I would much rather write a 10 page paper than study my butt off for a test.

My theology test is open notes, which is awesome. That just leaves me to worry about Nutrition. I have a B in that class, so how bad can I do? I present my final presentation in there on Monday with my lab group, which should only help my grade. Out powerpoint is pretty nice...

My research paper is 80% done! Literally...I have 8 out of 10 pages done. It's due May 1st (birthday present to myself?), and I'm much farther than the rest of my class seemed to be on Monday. Erin is going to help me finish it up this weekend, while Richard tries to distract us with Guitar Hero III.

I am so antsy to get OUTTA here! I have driven home almost every weekend of my 1st college year. It's so boring up here on the weekends! There's juts nothing to do, and driving into St. Cloud get's old. There's a mall, that's about it. I can't wait to get back to work and make some money so I can fix my car, get a gym membership, and play some hockey! I'm starting to feel better and better every day about my decision to attend Hamline next year. The drive from STC to home get's longer and longer every time, I swear. Now Mom, Dad, Rich, and Erin can make more of my hockey games, and hopefully baby can too.

I'm going to go pack more stuff to bring home tomorrow :)

On Cloud Nine

You know how a dog gets really excited about getting a treat? Atleast, if you are familiar with Lexi or Pedro, you know this is the case.

Yeah, I get that way about new hockey equipment.

I also got a new pair of breezers, but those aren't nearly as fun to look at.

My plans tonight? Sit on the couch in my breezers and watch the Wild game while playing catch with the wall.

Ironic.

So, my roommate fell asleep while I was in the middle of organizing my desk and some class folders. The only thing keeping me from finishing my work is that I need to staple things together before I can put them in the folder with other papers.

I have one of those super loud staplers that are like...spring loaded so that you don't get carpal tunnel. I'm pretty sure I'd piss her off if I tried to staple anything. So here I sit, buried in papers.

What's so ironic about this, is that the song "Staple It Together" by Jack Johnson just started to play on my iTunes, which is set on random.

Of nearly 3,500 songs, this is the one that plays.

For Richard!

Kurtis Foster of the MN Wild suffered a broken femur, which is too bad cause he's pretty hot, and we coulda used him in the playoffs. :(

Really interesting interview with Kurtis Foster of the MN Wild:
